    This better buzz is good! Nice staff and food is solid. I am a huge fan of the ham croissant, is delicious!

    First time at Better Buzz Coffee ever. I heard they have a few locations throughout the San Diego county. Well this Coronado location was great. Spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Cutest decor and signs all around the shop like "I like you better when I' buzzed" how cute is that. The drinks we got were amazing. Everyone loved their drinks. I enjoyed the cold brew I ordered with coconut cold foam. Omg ... delicious. They also sells croissants and other sweets. Their own merchandise is really cute too I got myself a glass cup for iced coffee. Customer service is friendly and welcoming. A great place to stop by when in Coronado or surrounding areas.

    Pumpkin Pie Best Drink Ever

    Stopped by this morning around 10:00am and the line was already out the door lots of people waiting to order, thankfully they have an order ahead option so I just walked right in and grabbed my drink. First time having their pumpkin spice best drink ever and oh my goodness it was delicious I was afraid it wasn't gonna be as good since I got it half sweet but it was perfect, literally fall in a cup. Highly recommend their seasonal menu they never miss.

    These folks are so nice at this little coffee shop. The coffees are delicious. And they are very quick and very efficient. They have some cool merch. Not a ton of places to sit down, but they do have some and it's very dog friendly. We like that.

    We were in Coronado, and I had yet to try this coffee place so I was excited to finally give it a shot. And it did not disappoint. The quality of coffee is so much better than the other chains that are out there. The breakfast croissant was pretty good. The variety of coffees they had were different unique. The service was great, although slow, everyone was friendly and in a great mood. I love the aesthetic of this place with the black and white and the pop of yellow and being be themed it is really cute. I will continue to try out different ones over other coffee chains for sure.!

    Chili Crunch Breakfast Wrap

    The chili crunch wrap was ok but I also got the mango smoothie and it gave me a weird tingling sensation (I'm not allergic to anything) so the drink ended up unfinished. Service is ok, it took a bit of time for drinks to come out on a Friday afternoon. The interior is a bit messy and dirty and there were flies inside the bakery display case...

    Better Breakfast Sandwich - $9.99

    I always make it a point to visit a Better Buzz whenever I'm in San Diego. My husband and I were staying at the Hotel del Coronado during our most recent visit and I was so glad they have a location within walking distance of the hotel. There seemed to be a good mix of both locals and tourists when we visited. I ordered an Iced Regular Banana Pudding Best Drink Ever with an extra shot ($6.69 + $1.00) and it was very tasty. It kept me buzzing throughout the day. I also ordered the Better Breakfast Sandwich ($9.99) and it was a solid sandwich. Christopher took our order and he was friendly. It was busy, but our drinks were prepared in a timely manner. The food took a while, but someone in the back kitchen actually makes the sandwiches vs. some other places that simply reheat.

    Love the local feel of this place. Multitude of options. Breakfast bites are now on the menu. Free water fountain gives an Italian cafe feel. Seating indoors and outside. Usually have a lot of baristas so even with a line it moves quick.

    Tell me that it looks good and I'll call you a liar.

    I wouldn't have expected the Better Buzz in Coronado Island to have the worst avocado toast of my life. But it was. Hardly any avocado, spread thin. Chewy bread with bad flavor. Hardly any seeds! They call it the "three-seed avocado toast" What seeds? Look at old photos to see how it used to look. Now they are just ripping us all off and don't even care! It's the most simple thing but they can't make it right. Everything else is a sugar bomb or contains preserved meat. The one slightly healthy thing they have tastes horrible. Never again. Two stars for the regular coffee. The seats near the back smelled like homeless.

    Cool vibe !

    Better Buzz always hits the spot and this location is no different. Walking distance from the beach- the vibe is perfect for the beach town. We got three drinks- the signature drink, hot Americano and a cold brew with cinnamon cream. After trying the cold brew it felt different but my son kept it and drank some more but after about 10 -15 minutes he again said the taste was off. We walked back to Better Buzz and they literally agreed to make his drink again even before he could finish asking and this time it was perfect- exactly how it had tasted in the past. So 5 stars all around- drinks, ambience, location and service!

    Chris always makes my day better and it's not just me. I see the way he treats every customer with the same kindness and energy. He's an absolutely amazing person outgoing, genuine, and always has a positive attitude. Honestly, who wouldn't want to interact with someone like Chris...His customer service truly stands out. The drinks & food are always on point. My favorite sandwich is the turkey brie, and of course, I love the açaí bowls.

    My friend and I tried a refresher and a regular matcha. Both of them were sooooooo sweet it wasn't drinkable with all that sugar. Knowing that I'd probably just ask for no sugar or the least they can do. The service was good with whoever took our order! It's a cute place by the beach so we just went in to check it out. The sandwich we got too was tasty and pretty big. Not sure how their coffee is but anything with sweetener in it, modify it! trust me!

    Service was fast even with how packed it was! My drink came out great! Inside is very small and gets crammed easily but they were able to get guests in and out quick with good service. And it was still very clean with how busy it was!

    Yummy!!

    Does anyone know how much sugar content is in the lavender latte?

    I don't know the answer to that question, but when I ordered, I asked for 1/2 the sweetener, and it was perfect.

Umami Brussels Sprouts (10/10) - The best Brussels sprouts I've had in San Diego so far! They had a nice crisp to them and weren't too oily or anything, but had a LOT of flavor, which I love. It didn't just taste dry and salty like Brussels sprouts sometimes can. Definitely one of my favorites. Molten Butter Cake (10/10) - This dessert is an angel food cake with pretzel toffee and caramel inside, then it goes in the oven to get warm before being brought out and topped with vanilla bean gelato and caramel. It was so well balanced. It looked really sweet, but because of how balanced all the flavors were, it didn't actually taste overly sweet. I don't even like caramel and it was SO good in this. The outside was soft, and the toffee and pretzel inside gave it a nice crunch. I really liked the combination of the soft cake with the crunchy pretzel toffee. Wagyu Cheeseburger with fries (8.5/10) - The patty had a smoky, grilled type of flavor that was really yummy. It was a good portion and was made really well. The fries were also a decent addition as a side choice. Egg Sandwich (8.5/10) - Pretty basic, but really well made and put together. The bun was a bit toasted, so it wasn't super soft and had a slight crispness to it, which I liked. The flavors were really well balanced and it was honestly so good. Service: The best service! Even when it wasn't a staff member in charge of our table, we were frequently checked on and everyone was super attentive and conversational, which made the experience a lot more personal and better. I love being able to share a laugh and have a conversation with the staff. The staff member responsible for our table was Heider, and he was super attentive, helpful, conversational, and patient. We also loved meeting Sasha! She's super nice and conversational as well. Thank you for having us! Ambiance: Such a nice restaurant inside and outside. We got the patio high top seating and it was really nice. It was hot out, but the big umbrella helped. It's super busy, but it still felt nice outside, and everything looked super clean and aesthetic. Really nice vibes overall.

I brought this to an employee's attention, expecting at least some acknowledgment or concern. Instead, she simply responded, "I know they're in there." There was no apology, no explanation, and she did not seem concerned about the issue at all. Seeing flies inside a closed food display is already unpleasant, but the casual response from the employee made the experience even more disappointing. I hope management takes this seriously and addresses the sanitation issue, as well as how concerns like this are handled with customers.

When I arrived, there was a very long line, but because my order had already been placed, I went to the designated pickup area. While waiting, I watched the employee behind the counter speak politely and normally to other customers. When it was my turn, I turned my phone around and politely said, "Hi, I'm here to pick up for" Before I could even finish my sentence, the employee looked at my phone, rolled his eyes, turned away from me, and went to retrieve the order. There was no greeting, no acknowledgment, and no basic courtesy. He handed me the order while staring at me, rolled his eyes again, and immediately returned to the register. The interaction was so noticeably hostile that I looked back at him and asked, "What's your problem?" He immediately turned away and began helping someone else. I then asked another employee whether there was a manager available and explained what had just happened. Her response was essentially that there was "a lot going on" and that they were busy. Being busy does not excuse treating a customer disrespectfully especially when I had just watched other customers receive normal, courteous service. What made this experience particularly concerning was what happened next. While I was still making sure my large order was complete, another customer approached the pickup area. The same employee who would not even allow me to finish my sentence immediately greeted this man with, "Hello, how can I help you?" and proceeded to speak to him politely and professionally. That was the exact basic courtesy I had been denied only moments earlier. As a Black woman, I cannot ignore that difference in treatment. I watched this employee demonstrate that he was perfectly capable of greeting customers, communicating professionally, and being courteous. He simply chose not to extend that same treatment to me. Based on what I personally witnessed, the disparity felt prejudicial and discriminatory. I then walked to the neighboring sister establishment to ask how I could contact management because I had not been provided helpful management information inside the coffee shop. Ironically, the employee I spoke with there was also Latino, and he treated me with complete respect. He listened, offered to get a manager, asked whether I was okay, and apologized that I had experienced something uncomfortable. That interaction is important because my complaint is not about anyone's ethnicity it is about the specific behavior of the employees who dealt with me at the coffee shop. What was also strange was that the coffee shop employees who had just explained that everything was so hectic suddenly had plenty of time to stand at the counter and watch me while I spoke with the neighboring business. They continued watching me until I got into my car. There had been an enormous line of customers, yet somehow the "too busy" explanation disappeared when it came time to watch what I was doing after I asked about management. That made an already uncomfortable situation feel even more hostile. The Smoking Gun needs to seriously evaluate who it places in customer-facing positions. Customers should not have to wonder whether their race affected the basic level of dignity and courtesy they received. If an employee is overwhelmed or having a bad day, take a break, ask for help, or work away from the front counter. What you do not do is selectively discard basic manners with one customer and then immediately demonstrate those same manners to the next. I came in to pick up coffee for a wedding. I was polite. I was there to collect an order and leave. There was absolutely no reason for me to be treated with hostility. I will be filing a formal complaint with management regarding this incident. I hope management takes it seriously, reviews what occurred, and provides its staff with appropriate customer-service and anti-discrimination training. No paying customer should be treated as though basic respect is optional. And yes, they can run the cameras back it'll be in there ! Then to ice the cake, they literally got the order wrong and didn't give me all the items for the party that I was taking it to! Could look me up and down but not look the orders up and down !
