I can't believe how popular Better Buzz has become! I was pleasantly surprised to find this location as soon as I stepped out of the parking structure on my way to La Jolla Cove. I've been to several of their Orange County locations, so it was nice to stumble upon one while I was on vacation. It felt like a little taste of home, even if home is only about 90 minutes away. Of course, I ordered my go-to Snickerdoodle Latte, and it was just as delicious as it is at every other Better Buzz I've visited. The location is super convenient for anyone heading to or from La Jolla Cove, and I'm sure I'll be back the next time I'm in the area.
Great location, I love to meet my friend there when I am in La Jolla for a quick sweet bike or a nice coffee. It has the pleasant look and feel as many of the Better Buzz coffee shops, just being in La Jolla and so close to the water makes it more special. I like the structure of the store and the seating outside. I never have an issue finding where to sit, the issue is where to park!
It used to be great... note they have downgraded to a simple corporate store with super slow service, long lines and horrible food... One thing is to stand in line for 15 minutes to order but then the inefficiency of it, only to be rewarded with tiny portions that don't even fill half the container and in my case a blob of badly melted açaí with s mini sprinkle of the "special" offered toppings...
Thought it was a stand alone coffee spot but it turns out they have a few locations. We stumbled across it as we were walking in La Jolla and of course we had to try it It has an interesting outdoor indoor vibe. There was a line but it went pretty quickly. They had a variety of drinks but I opted for a summer special which had a coconut macadamia cream on top. Drinks came out quickly considering it was busy. Taste of the coffee was good, not too sweet and it was cute too!!! Just fyi bathroom line is longer than the coffee line
This place can get busy and there isn't much seating for the traffic that comes through. There's lots of food and coffee options which has nice. They have a lot of specialty drinks, tons of pastry items as well. The food does take a little while to get. Highly recommend the avocado toast.
This place has been my go to during my trip here in La Jolla. They are conveniently located by my hotel. The staff is super friendly and the ambience is really bright and lit. They offer many different choices such as a blackberry cheese, danish, scones, and cinnamon rolls. Love coming here I'm going to miss it when I have to head back home to another state where we don't have this.
Such a yummy drink - dirty chai latte with oat milk and banana cold foam. The cashier was so sweet helping us out since we had never been there before and I was asking about the menu. Our drinks came out quick and we took them with us as we walked around the town! I would love to try different drinks from there if I ever get back to one in CA. The shop is so fun since it's half inside and outside. It's expensive, but most coffee everywhere is expensive - especially in CA.
I had Better Buzz door dashed to work, and I was not disappointed! I do think that in general, Better Buzz might be a little more expensive than other coffee places. HOWEVER, the few times I've gone-they never ever miss on my drinks. What I mean by that is, I take one look at the color of the coffee and I know it's perfect. Whereas at other coffee places, I take a look at the drink and I know that they added too much creamer or not enough, just by looking at it and Better Buzz is very consistent, 100% in fact. So because of this, I'm willing to come here and spend a lil extra. Price aside, the drinks are always very very good. My favorite is the hazelnut divinity, it tastes like the milk leftover in your bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios. It's so so so good! I also ordered a prickly pear lemonade and that was really good, too! Highly recommend!!
Great vibes and delicious breakfast options. The cinnamon cream coffee and OG acai bowl is great.
Walked to Better Buzz with my husband from where we were staying in La Jolla since he used to come here. He ended up getting the breakfast biscuit and coconut buzz while I got the bacon ciabatta. Coconut Buzz - Actually pretty good, it was a little too sweet for my taste, but I liked the coconut flavor to it. Wished the ice were a little smoother since it all clumped together in the middle. Bacon Ciabatta - For $10, I could have gotten something a lot better. It was pretty bland and didn't have much in it. The spicy aioli sounded a lot better than it actually was. Honestly, I would probably go to Starbucks instead of Better Buzz. It wasn't a terrible experience, but it was nothing amazing either.

Great tasty coffee. I get espresso with a bit of milk and like the taste of the coffee here. We had slight issue with a drink order and they were able to resolve, appreciate that. Nice location. Open, airy. Close to the beach. read more

My matcha was grey. Half my matcha was in unsifted chunks at the bottom of the cup. See pictures. Food: 1/5 All the drinks are syrupy sweet. And just look at my matcha. It was only banana syrup. There are unsifted chunks at the bottom of the cup, and the color is just grey. Service: 1/5 And I would have complained about my drink too!! But everyone was so unfriendly and overworked here. There is only one minute of interaction during a transaction for me to decide if I like the service, and not only was the cashier unresponsive, she would also talk over me as I'm ordering. The one minute of interaction made me feel like a burden. Atmosphere: 2/5 It was cute in here. But I felt very unwelcome. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I have told everyone I know who likes matcha to avoid this place. Final rating: 1.33 (rounding down to 1 on Yelp) read more

We stopped here while exploring La Jolla. The prices were comparable to coffee places in the Midwest but the menu was so fun and I wanted to try everything! I went with a drink off their spring menu, the banana pudding best drink ever and it was so good! Just enough banana flavor to not make it overwhelming. I also got the better breakfast sandwich. It was so good. The arugula added such a fresh crisp and the pretzel bun was a unique touch I wouldn't have thought of. Despite it being busy the service was quick and everything was made fresh instead of being heated up in a microwave! Wish we had a few locations in MN! read more
Love this location located on Prospect St in La Jolla. This space has a very open concept and super close to the cove if you want to walk with your coffee. There was plenty of seating inside and outside and the staff was adequate. The Banana Pudding Best Drink Ever was delicious, but is definitely on the sweeter side. Cool spot! read more

I see a lot of bad reviews about service. I went in November and had such great service! The ladies were so nice to me and even chatted with me because they knew I was traveling. We visited on a Thursday and it wasn't too busy. I can see if it were a weekend it would get busier. Their signature drink is the Best Drink Ever. It's a classic americano and signature creamy vanilla. It was cool to see the layers and mixing it was pretty good. We also tried the the Mint Infused Iced Coffee. The mint flavor was spot on, I really enjoyed this one! read more

Hi Jamie!…
Go to coffee place when you want coffee, smoothies, food or tea. The different options allowed friends I was with to choose items other than just coffee. The coffee place is nice to sit and enjoy your items without rushing and has nice areas to sit and enjoy it, love the overall decor of Buzz coffee. I tried the pink dragon smoothie and was love that I was able to add or minus ingredients. The staff answered questions about items and the service was quick. You need a code for the bathroom so you just have to ask staff. read more

Showed up early, got in got out with some good coffee and some bomba azz snacks, hands down the must go to coffee house when in LA Jolla. *Staff is on point. *menus is easy to read. *Service is great. *communication is on point (especially this early morning 7AM) *No doubt (like the band) I'm sure you can't go wrong ordering any thing from this location. Thanks morning staff. read more
This was such a great location, nice and close to our hotel and a great way to start the morning. The OG açaí bowl was delicious, fruit was fresh and flavor was great. The almond butter and jam toast was also delicious, we went back for the toast a second time! The beat drink ever was my favorite coffee drink, not too sweet. Everyone was very friendly and service was fast! read more

Hi there, I love better buzz and recently have been to the Escondido location(closest to me) however they are limited with their merchandise. I was wondering does this location sell the glass drinking jar that they serve in? Thanks in advance!
I've seen the glass cans for sale here and read on social media that they're also at the Hillcrest location!
