Service was quick & friendly even on a busy morning. Best Drink Ever is DELISH! Perfect addition to a sunny SoCal day!!

Going to agree with the fellow one Star reviews the food and drinks are OK of course like all better buzz places they are way way overpriced.... but they know they are in a rich area here & can charge those prices which is fine... The problem with this location is the attitude of the customer service people ....you either get treated like you're an annoyance or that you are dumb for asking questions. This is my third time and I finally had to write about it. read more

Gretchen and the team were amazing today. Everyone is always so welcoming when you come in. You gotta love the carnitas egg bites.

High ceilings and typically coffee shop vibe, always busy and has music playing. Good spot to study if you like a fast paced environment. Go to is the lavender tea latte read more

Coffee so good 10/10! I ordered a coconut sugar latte. I appreciate a non-refined sugar option that wasn't a sugar free syrup. Cool ambience, fast service. Their menu is big, an option for everyone! read more

Better Buzz Coffee has delicious coffee and pastries and more. Everything I've had there has felt fresh and really well made. It's a great local spot and always a treat to stop in. I'm especially grateful for their support of local nonprofits like the San Diego Botanic Garden. That kind of community involvement means a lot and makes me appreciate them even more. Thank you Jacki and Better Buzz Coffee Encinitas! read more

you can't go wrong with better buzz! i ordered the caramel vanilla best drink ever, and it was perfect! i love the cold foam on top, and it had a good sweetness level (as someone who isn't crazy about coffee). service was quick, but it seemed pretty busy inside with very few seats available. i will come back and try to snag a seat earlier in the day :) read more

Great coffee! Sandra was amazing and helpful!! Definitely recommend to anyone around the area!

Good service, and delicious food and drinks. Big fan of the various tea lattes. The drinks are very sweet though, so if that's not your thing then I'd stay away, but I personally love sweet stuff so I've thoroughly enjoyed everything I've tried here. read more

This is equivalent to Starbucks. Not a real coffee place. They don't know how to make a flat white and matcha is not real matcha. Drinks and food price are really high. Tasteless spot unfortunately. read more

Better Buzz Coffee Encinitas - That matcha was so bad. And from the size of that coffee(everything is large here) you already know they don't know how to make coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Encinitas, California

Good service, staff is always friends and greets you with a smile. Drinks and food are made in a timely manner

Great service, great food, great atmosphere best drink ever was a bit sweat but team gladly remade and made it half seat which was perfect!

This is my local buzz coffee shop. I love stopping here before my work. I was happy to see that snickerdoodle buzz was still available. It had a cinnamon flavor and the consistency was perfect for an ice blended. My dog loved her pup cup. My sister always enjoys her lavender black tea latte. read more

Stopped by better buzz today for some coffee and was very happy I did! I ordered the best drink ever and they let me know they now even have the best pumpkin drink ever for the fall, Im so glad they let me know... I gave it a shot and the drink was delicious. The store has plenty of space to work out with open windows so you still feel like you're enjoying the beach. Drink 9/10 Service 10/10 I will be retuning! read more

Been going here for years and really love the customer service they bring. Not to mention that their coffee is the best! Will keep going back here when I have the chance. read more

Love how innovative Bette Buzz is with their coffee. From Turkish lattes to horchata lattes, you can have a little taste of cultural coffee aspects. The vanilla latte is also incredible even though it's just an americano with a vanilla syrup. The ambiance is perfect for a weekend catch up or WFH spot with the large floor to ceiling windows that are often left open. It does get a little busy, so perhaps take headphones if you're going to work. They offered some bites as well if you're hungry. read more

Found this place while in town..only to find out it's a chain... and now I'm making it my mission to get this place where I live! The coffee here is DELICIOUS! And they were BUSY! We literally went here twice in one day to get another pick me up on vacation. read more

Great drinks, food, and service in such a cute location! Will definitely be back when I'm in town.

I seriously love coming to Better Buzz, but today was extra special thanks to McKenzie F! From the second I walked in, she was so friendly and welcoming. You can tell she genuinely cares about what she's doing and about the customers she's helping. She was super patient while I decided what to order, made a great recommendation, and absolutely nailed my drink. It was perfect -- exactly what I needed. On top of that, she kept everything moving smoothly even though it was busy, and still managed to be upbeat and kind. read more

I love it hear! Great community! I always feel welcomed and appreciated! They care about their customers and are really loyal to them. Last time this one guy fell and the assistant manager was with the guy until the ambulance came, very beautiful to watch. One more thing they have the biggest smiles ever! read more

As a customer and an employee at better buzz Encinitas, I will have to honestly say this is the best place for all walks of life to come in and enjoy a truly unique experience. As a customer I have always been treated as a friend and not just another coffee sold. The environment truly is one of the best, modern but homey that makes everyone feel like they belong. In my 5 years of being a barista - if I had to choose between any other coffee shop in the San Diego area, and better buzz I would choose better buzz every time. Not only for their care in making a good coffee but for paying attention to detail on everything that matters to make a customer and employee happy. read more

This is probably the best better buzz location I've been to!! I love the indoor/outdoor concept and how open it is. It's a lovely atmosphere and the drinks are great. I would highly recommend the honey latte as it is such a unique flavor that I've never found anywhere else. The staff are friendly and for how busy it was, the service was quick. Would definitely recommend!! read more

Every time I come to San Diego, Better Buzz is a must! Super cute place with great coffee. I recently got into their horchata latte but I know my mom loves their Moroccan latte. Dog friendly! read more

Almond croissant is pretty, but it's one of those doughy /fluffy versions. No crunch. Flavor is good, but I wouldn't recommend it because of the texture. Best drink ever is still my fav go to! Come early weekday mornings for a more relaxed vibe. Otherwise it feels overly trendy. read more

Christine is so awesome and she gave me a free energy drink with my Yelp check in. The coffee here is great! I love the snacks too, they have pistachio nuts and kind bars. read more

I'm no stranger to Better Buzz, as it's been my favorite local coffee spot since I moved to SD 2021. I typically visit the Point Loma location, but I was visiting Encinitas today. Typically, I'm in and out since I order online. But it was my day off, and so I ordered from the counter at this location. Jen took my order, and she was the most personable service person I've ever had at Better Buzz. She asked me about my day and made meaningful conversation with me. She also made recommendations for my order. Better Buzz, she should be recognized for going above and beyond in making me feel like a valued customer and human being for that matter. Thank you, Jen! read more

Better Buzz Coffee Encinitas - Coconut best drink ever! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Encinitas, California

I've been a fan of Better Buzz for years--what sets a truly great coffee shop apart isn't just the coffee (which, to be fair, is still solid here), but the people and the experience. That's what keeps customers coming back. Unfortunately, the Encinitas location seems to be losing sight of that. I visited the store this Saturday evening and was disappointed by both the cleanliness and the service. The front area where patrons sit to enjoy their drinks, chat, or get work done was dirty and clearly neglected. It doesn't take much to keep a space tidy, but it looked like no one had bothered to clean in a while. Even more frustrating was the attitude of the staff. A simple question about whether the Wi-Fi was working was met with an eye roll and zero initiative to check or assist. The store wasn't busy--no line, no rush--yet there was a complete lack of effort or courtesy. Customer service felt like an afterthought, if that. I'm a local and have supported Better Buzz for a long time, but if this is the direction the brand is heading as they continue to grow--detached staff and unclean stores--I'd rather take my business elsewhere. At least at Starbucks, I know I'll get a clean seat and someone willing to help. Do better, Better Buzz. read more

Julian is the best worker ever ! So kind and considerate and humble. Service is amazing especially in such an urban and busy side of town. Drinks were good and the vibes were high. Amazing. Thanks !! read more

Been coming here for a few months since I'm new to the area and I love it so much! Great coffee and even better service :) Shoutout to Layla for being so kind and nice during my visit today~~Will definitely be coming back again! read more

Better Buzz is very nice inside, and the staff were very friendly. However, I think the items price does not reflect the quality. I didn't think the coconut blended coffee was very good, and the yogurt bowl wasn't anything special. But the location is nice, and within walking distance of many shops and such. read more

Stopped by Better Buzz Coffee close to closing and still had a great experience. I ordered a hot chocolate and it was good. The ambiance is one of the better ones I've experienced, cozy and inviting, and the service was genuinely kind despite the late hour. Definitely a spot I'd return to. read more

Ok, this is a very simple review: Coffee quality: TEN STARS (is there such thing? Ok then it's the max...FIVE STARS) Staff competency: THREE STARS on the best day. I have been getting my coffee at the Encinitas location for at least 3+ years. I have tried so many places and this is, in my opinion, the best coffee in San Diego and beyond. I buy the beans and grind them at home. Super high quality coffee, never had a bad roast batch, super impressed and happy with it. Used to get my coffee beans at Peete's (which also has decent beans), Better Buzz is leagues ahead. It also makes Starbucks coffee below average. Staff competency, on the other hand, doesn't match the coffee quality; poorly trained people, they generally don't pay attention to specific instructions, can't handle out of the box requests. Parking is tough, be prepared to be looking for a spot around two blocks. If you want your beans ground there and you are (like I am) OCD with how fine or how coarse you want your beans ground, better think twice as they will not get them done properly. Always grind at home. Still, I am always coming back because of the super quality of Better Buzz coffee. read more

I like the location and how much seating there is. Better buzz always has a good selection of fun seasonal drinks I like to try. Its also nice they stay open later than a lot of other coffee shops, so its a good place to hang out with friends or get work done read more

Better Buzz is always busy busy busy. We absolutely love going down to Encinitas on weekends when we have some spare time due to the small beach town vibe and the plethora of adorable cafes and eateries, ice cream/Gelato options and the wide array of coffee shops that span this 2 mile stretch of road. Although we have not tried all of them as of yet, Better Buzz sticks out to me due to the large and diverse menu of drinks. During our visit here, I opted to go with the iced vanilla bean latte, and it was strong and really flavorful. They didn't call this better Buzz for no reason as I remember this being a definite kick in the pants and definitely more of a wake up call then many other lattes which simply do not give you that jolt or burst of energy that I hope for. Despite trying to come back on a couple other occasions the line here is usually very long and there is simply nowhere to wait without being right in peoples personal space, so a return visit has not happened as of yet. I definitely look to get back soon to try the dark chocolate and white chocolate Mochas as well as the mint infused iced coffee and cinnamon cream cold brew, which both sound amazing to me. This is definitely a shop I hope to visit again soon and I truly hope at some point to see them expand into Orange County as well as I would love to see a closer location which I could get to more frequently. Check them out if you are ever in the area and see how they measure up for you amongst the stiff competition nearby. read more
