Vanilla latte
Benjamin V.

If I died and landed in coffee heaven this would be the place. Service was a 10/10 employees are very welcoming and awesome. BIG shoutout to Celina, she might've made the best iced coffee I've had in my life. Highly recommend checking this spot out you won't be disappointed.

Gotta give a shout out to Alexa! I chose a drink that I didn't really like and she was so nice and offered to make me a new one that she recommended (snickerdoodle) and it was delicious!

Supposedly banana pudding best drink ever... it was not.
Jerry C.

I've only had one drink here however if a place is going to claim an item as the best drink ever it should hold up to its description. The coffee I ordered was the "banana pudding best drink ever". Which is basically an americano with a touch of milk and vanilla for sweetness and a banana pudding cold foam. The coffee was strong so it hits the buzz part and the two Nilla wafers were good. The cold foam... I tasted zero banana, zilch, nada banana flavor at all. The inside is set up okay and it's cold in there so be prepared. They have a fair amount of offerings and some cool looking merch so I'd say they focus more on the aesthetics and branding than making good coffee. They do have good pastries though which is what kept them at a two star and not a one star. The person taking orders was rather rude and not very personable. She didn't seem to care to really be helpful in explaining some of the drink items. I'd say it's a place that tries to just play on hype and not substance.

Such a cute place! Fast, friendly service. Many options on the menu. Also, drink of the month. My vanilla oat milk latte was delicious. The chili crunch breakfast wrap was so yummy. Fresh & prepared on the spot. The bathroom was cute & clean. You do need a code to get it. Customers only.

Yo, Alexis is the BEST, so get coffee here! I recommend the Buzz Blend Coffee I come here all the time.

Beat Drink Ever and Mango Smoothie

Got the Best Drink Ever and Mango Smoothie. It was both so delicious. Shout out to Jesse who made our drinks!

Best drink ever, latte, and Sumatra 12oz Single Origin Roast
Levis K.

Quick and easy spot to get coffee - the coffee is good but can be on the sweeter side. The "best drink ever" is a bit too sweet for me, and the vanilla bean latte is just under sweetness for my liking. The service was good - the worker/barista was friendly and helpful in providing suggestions and giving realistic feedback wait times. Ambiance is as you'd expect for many coffee shops - don't expect it to be quiet. It's also very cold in there, but maybe that was just the day I went. Overall, pretty good, not sure if I'd come back just for coffee, maybe would need to give it another chance but with adjustments.

I'm so happy there's a Better Buzz on my way to work! I order on the app as soon as I leave the house, and it's ready for me when I arrive- such a time saver. There are so many drinks to choose from, but lately my go-to has been the iced vanilla chai latte. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. The store is also so clean too. It's the perfect start to my mornings! Check their instagram for sticker drops :)

Better buzz coffee is hands down one of the best coffee chains. I came in around 1:00 on my lunch break. At the time I came in, it was not crowded. Upon entering I was greeted by staff and asked what I would like to order. After reviewing the menu, I decided the horchata latte would be worth the try. My coffee was surprisingly done very quickly. Which to me stands out as the service is quick. Upon tasting the coffee, I was even more pleasantly surprised. The coffee was perfect, you can tell the beans are not over roasted creating a nice smooth coffee flavor. The latte itself was not overly sweet, which is a bonus. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating offering a variety of options. In addition, the parking lot has plenty of parking, but can get crowded with other establishments. The only downside to this location is no drive thru. However, I can't wait to come back!

Iced Horchata Latte
Miranda L.

Better buzzed off caffeine to energize my work endeavors!! Drink: Horchata iced latte has been my favorite superior choice. Both times been executed well and not overly sweet! The house made horchata (cinnamon rice milk and almond milk) is paired great with their espresso. This is not fake powder horchata which enhances the drink overall in its appetizing. Food: The Yogurt bowl included honeycomb, granola, fresh berries and Greek yogurt but coconut yogurt is also an option. It was a simple yet delicious choice. Service: They were efficient and easy to go orders. I appreciated the secure and sturdy containers. Overall: ole faithful horchata iced latte for the win

Maliha R.

Loooove their hazelnut divinity with oat milk. Friendly staff. Chill atmosphere to sit and get some work done. Open later than usual coffee spots.

Snickerdoodle latte
Alexis M.

I swung by here today because I was craving something sharp and refreshing, and their lime juice…read more(Lime It Up) definitely hit the spot! It had that perfect balance of tart and sweet that's so hard to find. You can tell they use fresh ingredients because it didn't have that artificial aftertaste at all. The staff was incredibly energetic and helped me navigate the menu since it was my first time trying their citrus blends. The shop itself was spotless and had a really chill vibe, which I appreciated. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the wait time was a bit longer than expected for a single drink, even though it wasn't super crowded. That being said, the quality of the juice made it worth the wait. I'll definitely be back to try more of their lime-based drinks soon!

I ordered a Strawberry Wave, an Evergreen, a Lava Flow and a Piña Cool-ada for me. Wow, how refreshing and tasty. The service was quick and the young lady who took my order was very kind. When I asked for a second cup holder to make sure the bottom did not break through, they immediately gave me one. The shop is clean and had a little bench so you can comfortably wait for your drinks. I will definitely be coming back to this Juice it Up.
