Great drinks! On the sweeter side but you can ask for adjustments if you want. The pastries have also been tasty but too often I see a fly or two stuck in the encasement. The acai bowls are also great and filling but the drinks are where this place really shines. I love that there's space to work and plug in a laptop if needed, and that it's close to the beach. But just know that this place is busy because of these aspects. Service is always friendly and helpful! read more

Went to Encinitas store today. The service was excellent along with my order! you can tell this is a well managed location !

This is my go-to spot for coffee before work! I can always count on them for consistency with my coffee. The service is quick and reliable. Gretchen and Mackenzie made my day today with great customer service, always a welcoming environment. read more

First timer but have heard great things over the years. Had to finally try Better Buzz during my visit to SD last weekend. The coffee shop was super busy but the line went by fast luckily. The cashier was very friendly, gave recommendations, and answered our questions politely. We went with the cinnamon cold brew and best drink ever. Both were delicious! Ham and cheese croissant was also a nice snack. Overall I was pleased with our visit and I will definitely be coming back for our next trip! read more

I stopped in yesterday afternoon craving and avocado toast. It really hit the spot. This place has a lot of options for coffee and energy drinks. My favorites are the Blue raspberry energy drink (comes with popping candy!) and the caramel vanilla latte. The baristas are always so nice. read more

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

What a strange experience. Coffee is actually decent but very odd experience Firstly, on a three dollar cup of coffee and gave a two dollar tip and the guy just asked me if I wanted to no thank you nothing. That's not cool. Secondly, the creamer is not out for coffee, which I found odd and when I asked for cream, a guy gave me heavy whipping cream. ??? Why would I want to put heavy cream in my coffee? Then I asked him about it and it's like he had no idea what I was talking about. I asked if other people put cream in their coffee and he said yes. I've been drinking coffee since I was in college and never once have I heard about every cream of coffee. Cream equals half-and-half. Maybe just leave the half-and-half and work out for people so they don't have to go through this process. Brutal. read more

I love the energy drinks here and the service is great! It's really aesthetic here too.

This place is disgusting. They have three people on staff and walk right past this mess. Service takes forever but coffee is good. They just need to get their staff to be more attentive. read more

Had a great experience at this Better Buzz! Ham and cheese croissant with egg, salt and pepper is perfect breakfast! Team was great!

Absolutely love this place it's beyond amazing and a must go to spot the vibes are amazing. We love love love.

Great product! Better Buzz Coffee is premium version of Starbucks when it comes to quality, quantity, aroma, and flavor! Hoversing around a similar price-point as the aforementioned establishment, I find Better Buzz to be more satisfying as well as refreshing. The shop in Encinitas is perfectly adorned with furnishings that are modern, trendy, and properly chosen for that casual visit, study area, or meeting of friends during the beginning or ending of a day. I had a Cappuccino that was superb, and unlike other baristas, the coffee was piping hot! Sooooo.....delicious! Drop in for a cup...I highly recommend it! read more

Well, service was sub-par at best . Cashier of today 530ish to 600 pm 14 aug 24 trash attuide why have her work the front if that the sole representation of this business. Sweetheart Im sorry but maybe your up set not sure . But leave that at the door of your work establishment don't bring that onto the buying customer. If thats your happy mood my gawd what would be the upset mood. Once again YT of north county has failed me I ordered simple cold brew . It taste like a mix of toe jam of an anthele between armadillo. I havent had any of them, but when I took sip, instant imagery flooded my mind . 3/10 Maybe I caught them on bad read more

Better Buzz Coffee Encinitas - Cold brew vegan foam - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Encinitas, California

The first time i went here i wasnt impressed but this time i got matcha and its probably the best matcha ever! Very trendy and hipster, nice long tables and a cool bar type area that overlooks the sidewalk. I love the fresh air. Its not a huge space but a good size. They offer pastries and coffee and sandwiches too. I wanted to try the prickly mojito BUT i dont do energy drinks so i had to pass it up but looked delicious!! My mom got the honey latte which ive also had and its tasty, not too heavy on the honey flavor. Everyone is very welcoming! They have merch as well. Clean bathrooms too. read more

This coffee shop is such an aesthetic vibe! It's one of my favorite places to hang out/get work done if I want to be outside but not be exposed to the elements like rain, wind, etc (it has a ton of natural light). The lavender tea latte is delicious on cold mornings, and the lavender-blueberry lemonade is good if it's warm out! My only complaint is they've forgotten my orders a couple of times, so I end up needing to follow up 10-15 minutes later. Still, Better Buzz in Encinitas lifts my mood and inspires me to do my best creative work! read more

Even on a busy morning, Better Buzz delivers! The staff kept things moving with smiles on their faces and made sure every order was spot on--top-notch customer service under pressure. Huge shoutout to the COOLA Coconut Matcha (so refreshing and unique!) and the Vanilla Bean Latte, which was smooth and perfectly balanced. And don't skip the Nutella croissant--flaky, rich, and absolutely delicious. Great vibes, great coffee, and great people! read more

First impression: super trendy, long line (that went by quickly). This business is like a well oiled machine. They had 2 lines that are easily distinguished as mobile order pick ups, which was pretty efficient as well! Every seat was filled. Experience: barista was kind enough to provide top favorites. Drinks came out within 10-15 min based on how busy it was, perfectly reasonable. They also turned out AMAZING. Merch: because we love their drinks so much we also bought some of their merchandise to try to recreate at home. The vanilla powder is so good!! Every Better Buzzed is consistent and tastes great. We've tried at least 6 drinks here and they never disappoint read more

Better Buzz has the best matcha but also the best service! Claire Hays made me feel so welcomed and made my day through her kindness and helpfulness when deciding what to order! I will definitely come back! read more

I came in last week and couldn't decide between the best drink ever and a vanilla latte and Claire, who was at the register, was so sweet in helping me decide.

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

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

I'm from Chicago and this was another great, hipster stop with my daughter on our tour of SoCal coffee shops. Better Buzz has a great vibe (5/5). Early afternoon on a weekday and the place was packed. I got a peppermint iced latte, which was really good. My daughter (the expert) chose "the best drink ever." I tried it. Yep, it was (5/5)! I will definitely come back when I'm in the area. Highly recommended. read more

Love coming to Encinitas, and Better Buzz is a real nice place to stop for coffee. Modern decor and lots of small things to buy. The coffee I've had was "The best drink ever" which is an Americano with Vanilla cream was really good! The Honey latte was not too my taste definitely will not order that again. Overall, a nice change in the chain coffee shop arena. read more

This is a lively coffee shop near the beach with the right amount of Buzz (pun intended).

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

This may be hard to believe for some, but there actually was a time in human history when you couldn't find a coffee place seemingly on every street corner. Today it feels like you can stumble upon 3 of them on a stroll to your mailbox. Clearly the need to set out on a trek in search of coffee has been eliminated. That is, of course, unless you've discovered a place worthy of the trek. Well we believe that we have! This Better Buzz location is outstanding. Sure the coffee and food are really good, but I think it's the vibe that really stands out. Laid back, but somehow intentional about nurturing what you feel here. A great place to meet up with a friend or pound out a few emails. The song selection and volume blend into the vibe seamlessly. Yes, you can place your order to go, but why miss out? The laptops were out in force during our visit, but the convos at numerous tables were also flowing. Our only warning about this place is don't think you're gonna attend a virtual work meeting and go unnoticed. Your colleagues are gonna quickly realize that you're in a way better place than they are and resent you for it. No work phone calls either. Stick to surfing that keyboard of yours or risk being outed as someone too chill to be paid for "working." And that's...Henry's Take. #betterbuzzencinitas read more
