Coffee
Carla G.

Best customer service, always!! The drinks are always perfect, and the staff is so kind. I walked in right at 7:59 PM, and Kallie still greeted me with a smile and reassured me that it wasn't too late to place an order. She made me feel a little less guilty for being "that client"! Thanks again, Kallie, for being so welcoming!

Clean, Consistent, Affordable Coffee Shop! I tried Better Buzz in Vegas and really liked it so I came to the Costa Mesa location. I was not disappointed! Better Buzz's coffee is not anything too fancy, but if you're looking for a good, consistent iced coffee, this is the spot. You can get their Best Drink Ever for under $6, which is a steal in this economy. The Best Drink Ever I ordered was quite sweet, so if you prefer less sugar I would suggest adjusting the sweetness levels. The interior is clean and there's ample seating. On a Friday afternoon, I found this location to be a nice place to study at. Easy parking, yummy drinks, and quick service make this Better Buzz a place I will definitely be coming back to!

Matcha Latte
Julian E.

I stopped by Better Buzz Coffee in Costa Mesa and ordered a hot Matcha Latte with oat milk and real honey. Was it okay? Sure. Was it memorable? Not even close. The biggest issue was the texture. A great matcha latte should be rich, velvety, and full-bodied, with a smooth creaminess that complements the earthy matcha. This one felt thin and watery, lacking the depth and silky mouthfeel I've come to expect from a quality matcha drink. The honey added a touch of sweetness, but it wasn't enough to elevate the experience. The flavors felt diluted, and the drink never developed the comforting, luxurious character that makes a matcha latte worth savoring. For a coffee shop that generates so much buzz, I expected more. The presentation and reputation may draw people in, but based on this drink alone, the buzz wasn't matched by the cup.

monkey bread

Best combination I have had in awhile. The blended boo-nana is a delicious coffee treat tagged along with the monkey bread. Warm delicious cinnamon gooeyness. Definitely worth coming back for! The staff were super friendly! A special thanks to Donovan Alexa and Moi for the quick service and making everything delicious!

Iced vanilla latte with coconut foam

Good coffee shop, nice and clean. Huge parking area. I got my coffee drink half sweet as the normal sweetness is too much for me. Baristas were friendly and it's a nice place to hang out. Open daily really early and stays open later than most coffee shops.

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.

Bathroom
Jill G.

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.

Fire cookies
Jeff P.

Best drink ever is right and best service ever out of all the Better Buzz we've been to we like Costa Mesa and we've been to almost all of them. Heather stands out but they're all so nice and make the best coffee. I love the açaí bowl almost every time and wifey get the coconut macadamia nut cookie and egg bite tacos with carnitas. So fire. Also the best drink ever is good cold with flavors like cookies and creme. Best coffee spot ever

Stopped by to get me some iced coffee for the day. Busy place in the morning, but goes quickly. Easy and big parking lot w/ plenty parking spaces. The store is smaller comparing to others store but still spacious and got indoor seating against the glass window with view of the parking lot & streets. Great menu as like other stores with great pastries displace glass case. Great service and quick turn around (since my drink is east one). Overall nice and lovely store for sure.

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

See all

Drinks are fine, they have Wi-Fi, but no power outlets if you want a spot to sit and get work done.
