    Just checked out the new Better Buzz Coffee Roasters location and they absolutely nailed it. First off, the space feels fresh, clean, and super welcoming. You can tell a lot of thought went into the layout and the vibe. It already feels like one of those spots that's going to become a go to for the neighborhood. Food and drinks were on point. I usually go with the Better Breakfast Sandwich and it did not disappoint. Great flavor, cooked right, and actually filling without being heavy. Paired it with the lavender blueberry lemonade refresher, which sounds a little out there but is honestly one of the best drinks on the menu. Super refreshing and not overly sweet. What really stood out though was the team. Service was fast, friendly, and just genuinely positive. Nancy is doing an incredible job leading this crew. You can feel the energy and organization the moment you walk in. Huge shoutout to Malaya and Keanu. Both brought great energy, were attentive, and made the experience feel personal while keeping everything running smoothly even during busy moments. For a brand new location, this place is already operating like it's been here for years. Definitely worth stopping in if you're anywhere near Imperial Beach.

    Ordered ahead and picked up inside, thank goodness because the drive-thru line was down the street. Got the Caramel Buzz with oatmilk. Sweet and creamy, but tasted like a typical caramel blended drink...good, just not super memorable if I'm being honest. The cheese danish was pretty and tasted pretty good, but not my fav. Soft, slightly sweet and had a hint of lemon. Staff inside were extremely nice, super joyful and welcoming and they had really cute apparel too. Quick, easy stop...just order ahead. And maybe I'll order other items next time.

    I really enjoyed my visit to this new Better Buzz in Imperial Beach, San Diego. The employees were hoot and friendly. It was April 1st and they were not short of April Fools jokes. I had the Feta Avocado Toast Deluxe with cortado. I was skeptical at first on the cortado, because the last time I ordered a cortado at the Better Buzz, they made me a cappuccino. This was a touch heavy on the foam but much better than the previous one. This just had a thin layer of foam and a great 50/50 ratio underneath. The espresso had a great robust flavor and was smooth to drink. Well done. The avocado toast was good. Although I prefer freshly sliced avocados, the avocado spread the place on this toast is pretty good. The thick cut multi-grain bread is quite good. The toast came with sliced cherry tomatoes, crumbled up feta cheese, and butter on the bread. It is perfect for a light breakfast or lunch. Like I said, the employees were quite the festive bunch. They are all very welcoming and friendly. They offer good conversation if you engage them. This location has a large inside and outside dining area. and a well organized drive thru with employees helping things along.

    This location in Imperial Beach donated delicious iced matcha and coffee for an event that I attended today! My daughter and I are love your coffee and teas!! Thank you so much for your delicious donations. We are so happy that Better Buzzed made it down to IB!!

    We had a large order for our large family and appreciate the patience rotating through each member's desires. The food was delicious and fresh. Each item was reasonably priced and I felt especially surprised to see that drinks could be made with varying degrees of sweetness. (A sign was placed on the pastries case). I had the Avo toast and Moroccan-spiced ice coffee. Yum! The restaurant and restrooms were clean and properly maintained. We noted an outdoor area for seating but needed the tables to accommodate the children. I'd definitely return to try more!

    What a beautiful store & so large. Staffing is amazing with very fast service. Great location that will satisfy lots of neighborhood foot traffic and those that are commuting to the freeway for work in the mornings. Food is always top notch.

    I work around the area and was so happy when they opened! I have ordered drinks a few times now and the online order has always been a smooth process. I do recommend giving yourself an extra 5min after the picked pick up time as all my orders have been ready a little later. Over all, my chai has been yummy and the location is very nice.

The menu options were simple, i don't know if making a concoction of flavors was possible but it didn't show. I like bitterness in my coffee and this had just a hint of it. We tried the mazapán and Mexican mocha, they were both good. Again, i prefer the stronger coffee flavor so for me it was subtle but still good. The flavor of mazapán was there but again, subtle. They were not overly sweet which I liked. We also tried a s'mores puerquito cookie which was also not overly sweet and good flavor. I will be back and ask if I could have my coffee made stronger, hopefully this helps! Our total for 2 coffees (hot and cold) and a puerquito was $14.50 Food/Coffee:**** Service:**** Ambiance:*

Now I get to go sit in less traffic with a smile on my face and a warm cuppa Joe in my hand Of course I had to order two different recipes. I got the cinnamon dolce and the rosemary iced latte. They are both perfectly made with the perfect amount of coffee to sugar ratio. She also had milk alternatives for me, so I got both with oat milk! Not to mention her website was so professional, and easy to use. Thanks again I hope your business thrives! Can't wait to come back next time I need a good coffee close to CBX! PS I'm buying two rosemary iced lattes next time!

It's clutch for those who go to school right next door but meh, it's not that great. It's always a bit dirty. It's always never fully stock. Staff are always just lukewarm. It's just a bunch of minor annoyance with this place that adds up. There's another 7/11 down the street and I rather just walk a bit further to avoid the headache that often comes with this place.

    South Bay Lives Matter…read more Seriously? Who owns this store? The continuous neglect of the upkeep, cleanliness and lack of community care is negligible. The story is dirty. Lack of stock. Disorganized. And the new b.s. told to customers"Coffee sleeves are not available because the cups are double insulated." And the employees repeat this nonsense to the customers. Are you kidding me? My next post will be an official letter to the 7-Eleven franchise as this community needs a convenience store because the nearest convenience store is a mile away without a vehicle. However, the disregard and disrespect this 7-11 exhibits in the community is intolerable. The exterior needs to be painted, the trash cans need to be replaced, inside of the store needs to be mopped daily, and more frequently doing busy times coffee needs replenishing, shit alongside the walls that don't belong, clean the counters.... and the owner still has not responded to me with my first review and actual pictures and videos of the treachery of trash that's was on the side of the buildings. I could go on and on or they can hire me to be the owner and there will be a complete turn of the tide. How many negative stars does it take before change happens?
