Love this location, mobile ordering is the way to go if you're in a rush because it can get busy here! The workers are always so kind and friendly though and I love their changing menu :) read more

Had a patient cancel on me, so I took the chance to finally check out the cute coffee shop across the street from our office. I know they have multiple locations, but this was my first time trying it out. I only ordered a latte since I had already eaten breakfast. It was pretty good (it wasn't super foamy) but still solid. The shop itself is very cute and trendy, with fun merch featuring their logo and slogan, which adds a nice touch. The staff was friendly, and even though things were moving a bit slow, they got my drink out without much of a wait and kept the energy buzzing. The atmosphere and welcoming service made it a great overall experience. I'll definitely be back--especially on those mornings when I need a little extra pick-me-up before work! read more

Another great experience and drink. Ordered my favorite iced matcha latte with oat milk and was not disappointed. Thanks Emily for suggesting a shot of espresso in it! That really helped wake me up! read more

Espresso, Service, Ambiance all top quality. The staff that helped me out were top notch. Check this spot out, you won't regret it.

This is a small half-open cafe found in the La Jolla Cove area. It has a nice, laidback vibe. Service was quick. After I ordered my drink, I got myself water and went to the bathroom. By the time I came out, my drink was already done. I ordered an iced matcha tea latte. It was sweet, creamy, and tasted strongly of matcha leaves. In terms of caffeine level, I don't think it was that strong (relative to other matcha lattes I've had), but overall my brother and I really enjoyed the drink. I would come back. My cousin and her partner ordered a blended iced mocha coffee. They said that it was good but that it tasted more like chocolate cake than coffee. In fact, they started referring to their drink as chocolate milk instead of coffee. read more

We visited 2 days in a row. Day 1 the service was meh...and the coffee the same. I thought maybe it was an off day and we would try again. The next day the service was even worse. I can handle long waits, and the wait time wasn't too bad. The gentleman taking our order was very kind and explained it could take a little longer than usual...ok...no problem. However, the barista that served my coffee was incredibly rude. Additionally, the coffee was just ok. Pastries were great! I can confirm there is better coffee with MUCH better service in the area. read more

Always a great place to grab a cup of coffee or other tasty drinks. Service is impeccable, the staff is always friendly creating a real neighborhood feel. Say hi to Robert if he is working, great service!!! read more

Pretty pricey for the size of the matcha, but it was delicious ! I got the orange matcha and it was about $7 for this very small cup. I thought it was good, but the price to size ratio just seems too extreme for me to come back regularly. There are other matcha spots with better value! The cafe itself was very cute though. read more

Better Buzz Coffee La Jolla - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Oh! We were pleasantly surprised to find a good coffee shop right around the corner from our hotel in La Jolla - we a stood in the short line and then ordered some pastries and cappuccino and a doppio macchiato - the pastries were pretty good - a croissant and a morning bun - the cappuccino was good and strong and much better than the hotel coffee in the lobby or the maker in the room of course - the doppio macchiato was nice and short but tasted overdrawn which was a bummer - it's fine I just threw it down the back of my throat like a shot lol - I probably could have had it remade but suddenly they were super busy and crowded with like 25 people in line - it's fine- like I said, threw it back and then focused on my croissant - definitely come here and don't drink the lobby coffee lol read more

Delicious coffee, great and quick service, with even better views! I got the "Best Drink Ever" served hot - and it was, indeed, the best drink ever. Strong (two shots of espresso) coffee with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. I like my coffee on the sweeter side, but the coffee they brew here doesn't taste bitter, so it didn't need too much else. read more

Great service and awesome green tea. Enjoyed my experience at this location. The cinnamon roll was delish.

The interior is really cute. Nice and open with seating outside and some inside. The service was also great. The drinks were pretty good but on the sugary side- we couldn't finish the drinks. The Crispy Chili Wrap was delicious but a little small for $10. The Better Breakfast sandwhich was really tasty but needed a bit more filling in my opinion especially for how much bread there was. Overall, pretty delicious! read more

MY Favorite Coffee Spot in San Diego / La Jolla! I've been coming to the Better Buzz Coffee in La Jolla for two years now, and it's hands-down my favorite location. The staff are genuinely some of the friendliest and most personable people. It reminds me of the small-town coffee shops I grew up with, where everyone knows your name and you always feel welcome. Even when it's busy, the baristas take time to say hi and ask how I'm doing. Nancy and her team are really special. My go to drinks are the iced matcha with lavender, the vanilla latte, and the seasonal eggnog latte (I'm obsessed). They also have great açaí bowls and gluten-free bread and treats which are hard to find. I often come here after my morning walk/run along the cove or in the afternoon to work. I love to sit outside in the courtyard, listen to music (they have the best playlists), read, work and just hang out and enjoy the ocean breeze! Any time I have friends in town, this is where I take them! Did I mention it's a five minute walk to the beach? Best Better Buzz in San Diego/ La Jolla! read more
