Amazing customer service as always. Got in the drive thru line behind 3 cars but Yaya, the barista taking orders, was very efficient at keeping the line moving. My mom mentioned she was thinking about a cookie and decided to pass on ordering one, but the barista at the window, Lydia, read our minds and gave us a free cookie! The staff are all really great there so I wanted to make sure they get the recognition. I love coming to my local Better Buzz! read more

Better Buzz Coffee Imperial Beach - Iced hazelnut divinity with oat milk and vanilla sweet cold cream foam. And a blueberry lavender lemonade. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

staff is kind and honest with the food choices :) inside is kept clean and well maintained. would come again

The highlight Imperial Beach needed! Brand new location with all the cute decor and aesthetics that all Better Buzz spots have. I'm so so so happy they opened this location, it really brings the right vibe to IB. We went on a Saturday morning and it was PACKED! Drive through had cars lined up on the street so we opted to park and go inside. I'm glad we did! I was captivated by the banana bread and ordered a slice it was delicious! They even warmed it up Drink selection is awesome and ALWAYS tasty [this review was written in connection with a Toast promotion] read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Unfortunately it's always a hit or miss... wish it was more consistent. Ordered a best drink ever and received black coffee.. ordered a late and it was half empty. I love better buzz. This location somehow gets two right one wrong. This time it was wrong, we had a long drive so unfortunately I couldn't go exchange it this time. read more

I had an amazing experience at Better Buzz thanks to Elizabeth. Even though my birthday drink was not in my app, she still honored it and made my day. She was incredibly kind, understanding, and provided outstanding customer service from start to finish. Elizabeth went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience, and her positive attitude truly stood out. It's employees like her who keep customers coming back. Thank you, Elizabeth, for your generosity and excellent service! read more

The new Better Buzz just made Imperial Beach complete (well, if we could make the water clean so we could surf regularly, THAT would make IB complete). We now have the perfect mix of old IB and newer/modern spots in town. Was in with the family and the experience was exceptional. Keanu and team were friendly, fast, and answered all our questions with patience. There's lots of options on the menu board - sometimes too much for a non-regular - so don't be afraid to ask about milk modifiers, getting things 1/3 sweet, 1/4 sweet, etc. read more

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. read more

Went through the drive-thru and got great service from Esme! Hadn't had that kind of service in a while, up until the manager came to the window trying to rush us. read more

The staff was SO KIND! I had no idea what I wanted and basically every employee jumped to help me find a drink that fits the flavors that I enjoy. They gave me great recommendations depending on what I told them I liked. I ended up going with the mocha buzz (per their recommendation) which was super delicious. I have a pretty sweet tooth and they said it is on the sweeter side if you enjoy that but even offered to do it half sweet if I don't love the sweet taste so accommodating the drinks to what I like. My drink was super tasty as well not poorly made. The flavor was exactly what I asked for as well as the texture didn't feel poorly or quickly made. On top of that, the staff was just so nice the entire time, never making me feel rushed or bothersome for not knowing what I want. An amazing experience all together from everyone! read more

My coffee and food were very good. The outside drive-thru attendant was so close to the side walk that she was creating a traffic jam in the street. Some people behind me just wedged their way around or reversed and left. read more

Absolutely disgusting. My bread was stale and too sweet.... It is a savory dish. Will not be coming back.

I got a cheese danish and it was cold and stale I took one bite and had to spit it out

Great team! Love this place. IB loves Better Buzz. Food, atmosphere, and the staff rock.

Wonderful vibes and feeling. Workers like Kristen and Amanda made it very enjoyable and they are very personable. I would definitely recommend this spot. I'm a local in IB and I will definitely be returning. I had the Vanilla Bean Coffee, made in house, and it was wonderful. I was able to order off the menu with a passion tea lemonade. They were very accommodating. I also had the avacado toast. Very nice music and atmosphere, also. Very wheelchair accessible. read more
