    Iced Coffee
    Joshua H.

    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!

    Tables not cleaned for hours
    Robert M.

    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.

    Hazelnut Divinity, Vanilla Bean Latte
    Madeline B.

    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!

    Gotta love the Better Buzz chain! First time at the Laguna Beach location and we came specifically for their matcha soft serve. I'm not a huge fan of matcha but this was delicious!

    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.

    Cinnamon pistachio coffee
    Lauren S.

    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.

    Acai Bowl- OG
    Cheyenne G.

    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!

    I love Better Buzz! This location is across from the beach and it has a lot of seating, even on Saturday! The employees were friendly and the store was clean. I love their banana pudding best drink ever! It's my favorite!

    Horchata Iced Latte
    Paulo I.

    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.

    Best drink ever & matcha
    Erin K.

    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

    Maddy M.

    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!

    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.

    Caramel Vanilla Latte

    I absolutely love Urth, they are consistently my go-to for a beautiful beachside brunch experience…read more(I've been here at least 50 times now). The assortment of fruit on the French Toast King is such a refreshing touch, combined with the walnuts that add a crunch factor it has everything I could want. ONTOP OF THAT, the french toast is internally soaked in a really delicious sweet milk mixture, I mean absolutely soaked. It turns a very thick french toast which would usually be dry on the inside into an amazing experience full of moist milky custardy breading. Their hot chocolate also has a really deep, mature flavor and comes with a massive portion. Definitely a must-get on a chilly Sunday morning.

    I was really disappointed with my experience here. We arrived at 9:02 PM, and according to the…read moreposted hours, they close at 10:00 PM. When we walked in, there was a very kind employee at the front who told us she would squeeze us in, which we really appreciated especially since we were coming down from an hour away to try urth cafe for the first time. However , another employee came over with her bag already on and looking ready to leave and told the employee helping us that she couldn't squeeze us in because the kitchen was closed. Her attitude made the whole in interaction feel very unwelcoming especially since the first employee had been so kind to squeeze us in. It was frustrating to be turned away almost a full hour before the posted closing time, especially after we had already been told they could accommodate us. If the kitchen closes at 9:00 PM, that should be clearly posted so customers know ahead of time and don't make the trip expecting to be served. Unfortunately, the way the situation was handled left a really bad impression.
