Better Buzz Coffee was a great find! Koen helped me out, and another team member who served me also provided excellent service. Everyone was friendly and made the experience really easy and welcoming. I was craving an iced coffee, so I was really happy to come across this spot. The atmosphere is cool, the service was great, and I'm glad I stopped by. Definitely come check this place out if you're nearby! read more

Came here with my partner on a Sunday to get some work done and enjoy iced coffee with the ocean view at Main Beach. The order came out quickly and tasted fine, but the cleanliness and vibe were a real letdown. Our outdoor table was dusty and grimy (which I cleaned), and I chalked it up to being outside, but every table and the floor was dirty and remained dirty and littered with trash the entire 2+ hours we were there. Around 3pm (they close at 8), an employee flipped the bar chairs upside down onto the counter without wiping anything, which blocked the view of the business from the sidewalk. People kept walking and wondering out loud if it was closed or closing soon. During a few instances, customers pulled chairs down to sit, got told hastily to put them back when they were done, then a second group and individual customer did the same and sat with their drinks for a few minutes and were told outright they couldn't sit there and the chairs had to go back up, right as a line was forming from the better visibility. There were multiple instances of customers wanting to sit and enjoy their drink, but could not. It was odd. Once the chairs were back up, the business slowed down to a trickle. It was almost comical how the business hurt its own flow. I don't know why we were left alone, maybe because we had laptops and came before some unknown patio seating cutoff rule. The bathroom was just as bad, overflowing trash and paper all over the floor, both when we arrived and when we left. Restrooms should be checked hourly. It's not hard, and it makes you wonder about hygiene behind the counter too. I've had cleaner, friendlier experiences at other Better Buzz locations (La Mesa, University, Point Loma). For Laguna Beach, I'd check out Equator Coffee nearby instead (unfortunately only open until 3), located inside the Rivian showroom, a historic 1922 theater with couches, balcony seating, wifi, and sometimes free evening film screenings you can catch later. TL/DR: Dirty tables and bathroom at this Better Buzz, and an unwelcoming vibe for customers and passersby alike. read more

Not too bad! It's probably not the best coffee I've had but I could see myself coming here if I was in the area more often. The coffee wasn't the creamiest despite them doing a double shot for their lattes. The hazelnut divinity was a bit sweet in my opinion but I will say the actual hazelnut flavor was some of the best hazelnut syrup I've had. I didn't see what kind of flavoring they use but it looked like there were pieces of hazelnut at the bottom of my cup. That had a great depth of flavor! The actual coffee had a pretty basic coffee taste. I'm not sure if I had an off drink or I should try other drinks. I'll still come back to try more drinks though! read more

Wow! Really impressed with Better Buzz! I drive past here every day for work, stopped in, and don't regret it one bit. Marcus is a great cashier with good customer service, and for that I'll be back. Their cinnamon pistachio best drink ever is one of the best coffees I've ever had. read more

Love this place. Always welcoming and great service doesn't matter which location you go to. Now that's a great teamwork and management. I was here with my family a few days ago to get coffee before heading to the beach which is across the street lol Saturday afternoon and very busy. The line moved fast. The drinks we got were delicious. Love the coconut cold foam on top. Iced cold coffee and the beach. What else can you ask for. ... lots of indoor and some outdoor seating is available. They serve pastries and few other snacks. Great stop while in the area. read more

Came here for breakfast and was not disappointed! Great location (across from the beach!), spacious with lots of seating, and lots of options! I ordered the pesto turkey sandwich and it was delicious along with the banana bread iced latte, which was perfect. My daughter ordered the açaí bowl which was fresh. She also ordered the pink dragon (she didn't like it; she's into overly sugary drinks though). And we both ordered the Nutella croissant which I felt was too dry, even after we heated it up. The service was fast and friendly too! This was a great experience and we would definitely come back! read more

Looking at the menu, most of the drinks were very high in calories and expensive. The only one that really stood out to me was the horchata iced latte. It was light, not overly sweet, and tasted great. Overall, the experience was good, but I don't see myself coming back. While I enjoyed the latte, I don't think it's worth paying the high price for it again. read more

Love this store. They are Always welcoming. Great coffee, great service and great views!

I got the best drink ever & a matcha latte. Bother drinks were pretty sweet, so if you do not like sweet drinks definitely ask for it less sweet. But the best drinks ever ws oretty good, i liked the vanilla flavor the matcha was pretty grainy. But they definitely did light ice (as we asked for) so that was good! Not sure if I would get the matcha here again, but would go back for the coffee read more

Wow wow wow Drinks and food were amazing. Barista Melissa was here working all by herself and she really put in the work. Provided great service along with great food. Someone give this girl a raise! haha much love read more

Loved this place! Super cute inside and outdoor seating with a fabulous view. I got the Moroccan spice iced coffee and it was really really good. Even though it had some sweet foam on top, it wasn't overly sweet and the spices were perfectly balanced. I drank it down so fast because I enjoyed it so much. The deluxe avocado toast was everything I wanted. Bread was soft, yet had a crunchy edge so it didn't fall apart when you picked it up. Everything tasted so fresh and presentation was spot on. I thought it looked a little small, but the portion was perfect and I didn't leave feeling hungry. It was the perfect spot for my husband and I to have a little morning coffee date. Can't wait to come back when I'm in the area again! read more

Fantastic location, right across from the beach. With the patio seating looking directly to the beach and the street. Open door and spacious store. Staff are nice and friendly. Great coffee and plenty of choices. Parking can be a drag but sometime you can get lucky of nearby street parking. Great vibe and bright place to be. read more

Food drinks and service are great. Only comment re ambiance is volume of music which I think needs to be a little lower (as a default).

Very nice location! It is walking distance to the ocean! The pastry was really good (we tried their pistachio croissant). The people there were super nice and helpful. The coffee itself is good too. They also have a good variety. In response to the district manager (Jon Angeles) asking for more feedback: Thank you for your response and for valuing customer feedback. I was 100% happy with the service and atmosphere, which is why I gave those categories 5 stars. My 4-star rating for the food and drink was based on a few specific details: The Coffee: While the coffee was good, I felt the bean quality didn't quite match the level of some competitors, such as Blue Bottle. I recognize this is subjective and a matter of personal taste, but I felt there was room for a slight improvement in the roast profile. The Pistachio Croissant: I found the pastry to be less flaky than expected, and I would have loved a bit more pistachio cream filling inside. Overall, I had a great experience and appreciate you reaching out to hear my thoughts! read more

I'm so happy Laguna Beach is getting some nice coffee shops as opposed to the big S chain! The staff here was so friendly and kind and coffee was solid. I got a seasonal pumpkin latte, which wasn't amazing, but it was definitely good. I'm going to try the basic stuff next time. The chocolate croissant wasn't bad but I'm definitely going to try some other items next time instead. The cafe itself is so cute and spacious. I love the decor and there is plenty of seating inside and outside. read more

Not sure when this one open, but I was glad to see it. I saw that they had peppermint seasonal drinks, which I was excited to try. I asked about the seasonal drinks, and the cashier wasn't very helpful. Or she didn't have a lot to add about each of the drinks. She told me the white peppermint latte was pretty much the same as the best candy cane drink. Anyway, I ended up with the best candy, cane drink, which she told me it was basically an Americana and I got it last week. The store is decorated very cute. I enjoyed my drink as well. read more

Belated review: Over two weeks ago, I stopped in on Better Buzz's second day of business and ordered a toasted croissant sandwich with smoked ham and muenster cheese, and an iced pumpkin spice latte. An employee upsold me on an option for the sandwich, the addition of egg, which was said to only be available at the Laguna Beach location. I liked the sandwich and thought going for the upsell was a good choice. I was surprised on my first sip of the iced pumpkin spice latte. I had not been to any Better Buzz Coffee locations before and did not expect the drink to have a sweetness level similar to Dutch Bros. I would not order the drink again. The hubby liked his cold brew so that could be a possible choice for me to pair with a breakfast sandwich in the future. Getting the promo cup and sticker and being greeted cheerfully in a brand spanking new coffeeshop made for a good first impression. We were able to find a table and eat inside, which was nice.

The employees lack sense of urgency and awareness. Just talking to each other when it was busy instead of did helping guests.

Melissa was such a pleasure to talk too, love me my Laguna better buzz staff:)) Definitely recommend stopping here when you're visiting Laguna! read more

4.8/5 Ordered the Specialty 8 oz Cappuccino ($5.49) and Laguna Beach Best Drink Ever (6.75) with a chocolate chunk cookie. If you want a treat definitely get the cookie. I think next time we'll skip the Laguna beach drink because the lavender taste isn't for us. If that's your thing, it's worth trying. There's a nice view, inside is clean, and seating indoors or on the patio. Very friendly staff too! read more

Friendly staff and great location. Laguna Beach Best Drink Ever ... really yummy. Love their presentation as well. The cream top was not overly sweet. Mint infused iced coffee ... just ok. It barely had a hint of mint. They have a lot of seating inside and outside. It can get loud. read more

Super dirty. I know it was a Saturday afternoon but we spent an hour there and tables stayed dirty and garbage was overflowing. Eventually the garbage was emptied. Floor was wet and a slip hazard. Dessert enclosure (with muffins and cakes) looked uncared for. What a mess! My cold brew was good though! read more

Order a sandwich from here and they must've microwaved it too long that the top roll was like wood. Very disappointing.
