Another great Better Buzz location! Due to it being on a main street, parking can be a little tough to find, but there's bound to be something if you circle around. Really open floor plan here that offers a good look into their bar area and a ton of seating for guests, which makes it a popular spot to socialize or work/study. The staff here was really friendly and were helpful with explaining the Better Buzz app that I highly recommend downloading if you frequent the company. We ordered the mint infused iced coffee, an iced horchata latte and the caprese. Though it was pretty busy, our order came out quick, and everything was great! Awesome spot to grab coffee and some food, that's conveniently located a few blocks from the beach! read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Encinitas, California

I love better buzz!! But this location has sadly been pretty disappointing. Almost every time I come to here to pick up my mobile order, they've either forgotten to put an add on that I paid extra for, or would give me one drink and forget to make the other. I understand they get super busy and it happens, I just wish they'd come up with a solution to avoid this from continuing to happen, because their coffee & mojitos are amazing!! read more

I love this place!!!! Love the best drink ever. Hot or cold it's fantastic. Building looks great. Staff were super friendly and helpful. So happy to have a better Buzz so close to home!! read more

Had an amazing experience here! It was fast and easy throughout the whole process and coffee came out fast and tasted great. Jacki was super kind and helpful with helping me figure out what I wanted. Will be back read more

Never disappointed here! Had to branch out and try the peppermint white mocha instead of my usual, so excited to try it!

My girl said this was one of the best matchas shes ever had & she's a coffee shop connoisseur. I had a double espresso, was rich and delicious. Good vibes, nice seating. read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Matcha drinks. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Encinitas, California

Better Buzz has so many great options! The Cinnamon Creme cold brew was on point. We always make it a point to stop at BB when we're in California. Always a great experience. Wish they had the glass mugs to serve cold brew in. I appreciate aesthetics which makes the drink so much more enjoyable. However, this won't stop me from coming back to my fav coffee place. Better Buzz really is a better buzz! read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Cinnamon Cream Cold Brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Encinitas, California

What is not to love about this place?! I've been here several times and never have I been disappointed by anything I've ordered. The general vibe of the place is very relaxing and welcoming. They have lots of cute things to purchase to include coffee, apparel and mugs. There is also lots of seating indoor and outdoor. This place gets BUSY between 10-12. But you can order online if you're in a rush. Let's talk about menu: My go to drink on the menu is their Chai Tea latte! They ALWAYS ask what type of milk is preferred (which I think is awesome). Their Vanilla bean latte is also amazing! My go to food order is either the OG Açaí bowl or the Avocado toast. The portions are very filling and dishes are neatly presented! I've also tried Bacon Ciabatta Breakfast Sandwich (delicious) and several of their fresh pastries. If you go during their busy times it may seem like a long line but the service is fast and the staff are professional. BONUS: There's two cute murals in the back for pictures. read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Encinitas, California

Stopped in here for a quick matcha, it was a really cute location and everyone was super nice and helpful!

Better buzz Encinitas is like something out of a day dream, we're talking immaculate atmosphere along with even better coffee. The staff here at this location is unlike any other better buzz I've ever stepped foot in. I could hear Kendall greeting customers all the way down by moonlight beach, I followed the sound of her voice and ended up in a caffeinated heaven. Mac hand crafted one of the best lattes of all time, we're talking ground breaking flavors unlike anything my tastebuds had ever experienced before. And to top it off he poured some killer latte art. And last but not least... the manager Bethany!! She is an absolute legend who is constantly going above and beyond for her guests, I can't imagine what that place would be without her and her top tier customer service!! At one point I could've sworn I witnessed her dive head first over the counter to stop a customers drink from hitting the floor after it had slipped from their hand!! 10/10 will definitely be returning. read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Chai Tea Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Encinitas, California

This is one of (if not the ) top pick of ours for San Diego County coffee shops. This location is b-u-s-y & it's loud. So if you're looking for a quiet little spot? Might not be for you. Their vibe & their coffe make it all worth it! my go-to beverage is their Best Drink Ever (BDE). Their açaí bowls are also the bomb! My daughter REALLY loved the lavender matcha green tea latte. She's right, it's good. read more

I got a mint infused iced coffee and honestly it was disappointing. I couldn't taste any mint flavor at all. There was a mint leaf as a garnish but that's it.... The coffee shop is super cute and the barista was nice! O read more

Better buzz is taken over! See you later StarButs! We've been to a few coffee shops in the area, but this one definitely stands out. Whoever's managing this place is definitely keeping it tiptop. Not only is it a fun ambience, but it is a very fast way to get your cup of coffee. This is the kind of place that you get to walk in and I bet you if you come in three times they're gonna know your coffee. The service is always outstanding! I have never had a problem parking here, I love this area. read more

Love this Better Buzz! My favorite place to stop for coffee, and I am obsessed with yogurt bowl with extra honey thanks for always having such great and fast service!! read more

Love their lattes! I love the honey latte or the oat milk latte. Also its so nice to have a coffee shop that is open a bit later! I can meet up with friends there after work and hang out read more

Amazing staff! Best better buzz in San Diego! Our barista Leila was so friendly and super helpful!!

Great ordering experience, cashier and server were super attentive and friendly. My matcha was very scrumptious and served in a timely matter. Seating areas include outlets nearby which is very convenient for studying or work. Overall 10/10 experience!! read more

Same Buzz, different location. Staff is excellent. Drinks are excellent. Treats are excellent. Parking is ehhh, but it's Encinitas, you know what's up. The only downside - and it's not the staff's fault - is Encinitas is falling prey to the same issues as PB. I was there to meet a friend and we had hoped to sit outside. Unfortunately the outside area was taken over by a constant stream of homeless people smoking cigarettes and posting up with their 7-11 coffees from down the block. Is that the fault of the staff? NO, but I do hope the town gets their act together to help the un-housed. read more

Came in for a quick cup of coffee and was met with such a warm greeting by Jackie! The coffee was delicious and music in the background gave it the perfect ambiance! Will be back again :) read more

Never been a breakfast girl but I wanted to try something new.. Not only was the store so cute but I was also welcomed by a very kind employee. Since this being my first time.. Jaden at the register was very helpful in finding something that I would like, he recommended me a winter chai cold brew and an Açaí bowl. He was very kind and made my overall experience feel very pleasing and attentive. The food was just perfect, a great way to start my morning. The location, people and food all tied together perfectly. read more

This has to be one of my favourite coffee shops in San Diego. They have been expanding and I first tried it when I came to visit a friend. I like to get an iced honey latte and the pesto sandwich. The people are great here. The stores always have chairs and area to sit in. Would definitely recommend this place and the app works great. read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Coffee and sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Encinitas, California

Had really good service all super sweet and super quick with all the food and drinks.

Delicious food & incredible ambiance! My cousin who lives in the area recommended this spot for breakfast, coffee, and wifi. The open windows and spacious floor plan allow for fresh air, creating a very comfortable spot to spend your morning. I loved the matcha late and avocado toast. The matcha is on the sweet side but they will accommodate if you ask for it less sweet. The wifi is free and efficient, although I preferred to read & connect with a woman at the table next to me. Seems like a great place to work solo, collaborate with others, or sit back to enjoy a fresh baked good and coffee. Highly recommend! read more

Been coming for a few years (albeit sporadically) and have always received exceptional service. If I had one gripe, it's that they often seem understaffed for how busy they can get...a positive showing as a negative? But one constant has always been my favorite staff member, Azure... she always has a great demeanor and attitude ready for you when you get to the counter. Keep it up, Buzzers! read more

This place is truly incredible, I was impressed by the best candy cane drink, but I was even more impressed by the customer service. A kind young man in the front named Jaden was so helpful finding me and my daughter the right drink. The respect he showed me and my daughter is what this generation is missing nowadays. I also loved that they were playing music- it made our wait for our drinks so pleasant. The only downside is that it was extremely busy. read more

I feel better buzz is hands down the best coffee shop style chain in SoCal. Everything from the dark roast at 4:30AM to the nitro cold brew at 4PM is simply the highest quality. That part is the same in every better buzz I have been to so far. I am mostly a San Diego and Orange County guy. I call it "paradise" due to the weather, the food, and the fascinating eclectic atmosphere up and down the various beach communities between Long Beach and Tijuana. This is where the Encinitas location comes in. WOW!!!! From the somewhat sleepy crowd of regulars between 4:30 and 7:00AM to the hustle and bustle peak tourist season, this place is simply money! The constant lines and packed cafe complete with laptops, pets, and flip flops is a constant example of customer experience firing on all cylinders. Why? Sure the customers and local vibe help, I mean it sits right on the busiest strip of PCH in SD county. But that's not it. It's the team of baristas and more importantly their local leader Bethany. I have been a business consultant focused on customer experience for nearly 25 years in SoCal. Bethany has that special something that simply can't be bought or taught. She genuinely loves people.......I mean ALL people. Her energy and spirit bring out the best in her team. They get the job done in high volume and still find time to connect with the guests. Bethany should be out in charge of the customer experience at every single store. Well - let's be realistic, maybe we start by having her teach other store managers how she creates the environment that produces the best Better Buzz in SoCal. Kudos to her and her team. A special shout out to the early morning peeps - Kelsey and Garrett. They treat me like family. Rock on Encinitas Better Buzz!! We need more places like this in the world. read more

Amazing ! Love their drinks and their staff is so kinda and friendly! Always love chatting with them!

Fun workers there, great ambiance, swift service and my coffee ALWAYS comes out perfect!!!

My boyfriend liked his iced dirty chai so three stars for that but my drink was not at all what I wanted because I couldn't find out what was even in the drinks because the cashier girl with all the facial piercings was so extremely RUDE she wouldn't answer my very few and simple questions. She was rude to the people in front of us so we walked up with smiles having both worked decades in restaurants knowing it helps when the customers are nice. She wasn't having it. Rolled her eyes when we walked up and said hi how are you and responded what can I get for you. I wanted a hot matcha, not too sweet, ended up with maple matcha and forgot to say half sweet because I felt like I was wasting her time so I just went for it. The drink was so sweet I couldn't drink it. And iced which isn't what I wanted. read more

Download the app. You will get your next drink free after your first purchase. Your drink award arrives around 5-10 min after purchase. For Day 1 I had an iced honey latte with almond milk. It was chug worthy. I couldn't even sip it, that it was so good. Day 2, I tried to order my free drink the and the reward didn't work. I was hoping to order ahead since my wait the prior day was 10-15min. (And according to the cashier it wasn't at its busiest.) But, ordering ahead with a free drink award failed. So prepare yourself to wait again. For a free drink I tried the hazelnut divinity latte. I opted for half sweet with almond milk. It was still pretty sweet and I couldn't finish it. I had it with the gluten free lemon poppyseed muffin. The gluten free selection is decent. My kids took the muffin and loved it. If you have some time to burn, it's worth a try. But, if in a hurry I wouldn't. Also, seating is limited and people tend to occupy tables for long spans of time. So, not an easy place to get work done. read more

This review is a long time coming. I have been coming to the Better Buzz Encinitas location for around half a year. I keep coming back because of the amazing staff and consistently great lattes. I want to extend a special thanks to Bethany (fantastic manager!), Azure, Kiwi, Mac, Zain, and Kelcey. Not only do these individuals make my experiences great but I consistently see them extend the same affability towards other patrons. Further, the friendliness extends to our four legged pals (see photo)! Thanks Better Buzz! read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Encinitas, California

Love coming here! One thing about this place is parking is a little hard to find, but what do you expect for a cute shopping area? Otherwise the service and drinks are great. I decided to get the orange matcha with coconut milk today and wow!! what a drink. It was both refreshing and milky! I definitely recommend if you are a matcha fan. Husband got his tried and true better buzzed coffee! Will continue to make trips to better buzzed when we're in the SD area. Hot tip - order ahead and pick up! Also got our fave vanilla powder for coffees at home. read more
