    I ordered a mobile order as I prepared for my drive to LA in the evening . Upon arrival , my order was not ready via mobile ordered , it took another 5-10 minutes from expected time on the app. I was also the only person waiting for my order inside which is the reason for the 4/5 starts. My go -to drink is the is the banana best drink ever 10/10, and the pesto sandwich 10/10. This location inside is very big and spacious. There is a drive thru and plenty of parking in this parking lot . A bonus is it close to the freeway entrance !

    Love this Better Buzz so easy to order on the app and earn points for free items. The baristas at this location are super nice and really quick especially in the drive thru. Pastry's are nice and fresh-love the croissants here. Inside is nicely done and kept really clean.

    Im not a coffee drinker, so I didn't come here for the coffee. I heard they have really good avocado toast. So I came in to read my book and get a bite to eat. Ended up getting the better breakfast with tomatoes and avocado! BOMB! 5/5 I also got a hot chocolate. BOMB! 5/5 Love how clean it is. The ambiance is super cute. Love the backdrop by the bathroom. The young lady behind the counter is super friendly and sweet. My order was up quick. The bathrooms are clean, you need a code to get in. Love the seating set up inside. Love that they have outlets on the bench side so you can charge your phone/laptop! HUGE! Ill most definitely be coming back to do my reading/studying.! Oh and the music Playlist they had going on, LOVED IT!!!

    This was my first experience at better buzz The employees were so kind, and patient which I appreciate. Next time I come here I will order the sandwiches and try a pastry, but as for the coffee it was delicious!! Loved their matcha. The place has plenty of seating, is clean, and the employees were very professional I will be coming back

    This Better Buzz location is my least favorite. Bad and slow service. Always has homeless people sleeping inside. Bathrooms are disgusting. I don't understand their seasonal flavors either. I did like the pumpkin chai but it was short lived. They just opened another location a mile away in the old El Pollo Loco by the high school.

    Hey coffee lovers!!!! My boy was hella cool and customer friendly. Best customer service I've had going to better buzz on Coast Hwy. go see Pedro!!!!!!! He's there in the mornings!

    It's a great surprise to find this spot. The coffee in the espresso oil coated my mouth. The customer service was spot on, and the vibe was bright and cheerful. The food was delicious and the price point was sweet.!

    Banana pudding best drink ever!

    My first time here! Love it! Better than Starbucks! Quicker and easier to order! Music is awesome! Yummy drinks! Thank you!

    Light music in background in outdoor seating.. inside very modern look and hip.. love it.. not that many seatings.. Busy drive thru took them a bit to get to us but they were so sweet about it. Ordering was easy, Jaylene was super helpful and gave us a good description of drinks which made it easy to order according to what we were wanting Iced Moroccan spice, Horchatta latte and a slice of the banana chocolate loaf... yum! From the first sip and first bite!! Thanks Karla. Thank you, our first experience here and we loved it.. thanks again!!!

    Horchata latte

    The ambiance was welcoming, has a separate section from ordering and seating area. I decided to try something different and ordered the horchata latte. It was good, but not the best I've had. The cup was a bit sticky since it wasn't wiped down, which made it less enjoyable to hold. Parking can also be tricky since the lot is small and fills up fast. The staff didn't seem very friendly during my visit, which was a little disappointing, but overall the drinks are still worth trying.

    Plenty of parking, has a drive thru and a decent size lobby that has a lot of outlets in each table so no one is looking or trying to get a seat with it. Near the beach too, great to get a cup of Best Drink Ever and walk to the beach during a nice day. Service was fast and great, the scanner wasn't working at the time but I still got my points, I just gave them my phone in order for them to scan, no biggie. The Nutella crossiant is more on the chocolatey side, it's a bit too much for me but it was good, I had to save the rest for later, got it served warmed.

I ordered the 12oz Oside mix bowl and my mom ordered the 24oz Berry Blast with peanut butter. There were two employees there on the day that we went. I had to tell the person taking our order that we wanted to add peanut butter to the Berry bowl multiple times because he wasnt adding it (I could see it on the screen). My mom and I then sat outside to wait. When our order was ready, my bowl was fine but hers was the wrong size. It was the 16oz and they did not add peanut butter, even though I asked for it multiple times. When I brought it up to the employee, he said it was the 24oz. I told him it wasn't since they have the containers by the register labeled with the size and I could clearly see the second bowl was the wrong size. He finally asked his coworker and she confirmed what I had been saying. He immediately started remaking the second bowl. I understand that there is a learning curve when you're new so I was trying to not be upset about him telling me I was wrong. Anyways, when the second bowl was finally done, we noticed there was barely any fruit and toppings on it. Since I was waiting inside this time, I was able to notice that there were flies all over the place. Especially near the prep area, on the fruit, etc. I would recommend they keep their doors closed to prevent this from happening. Overall, I was not impressed after spending $30 and probably won't be back. I wish them luck and hope they are able to get it together.

She was incredibly patient with me as a first-timer and let me sample a ton of both the bases and toppings so I could figure out what I liked. The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because there were a couple of bases that I personally didn't love. The toppings, however, were all excellent. She even brought out a fresh batch of strawberries for us, which I really appreciated. As a first-timer, I definitely made the rookie mistake of getting three sweet bases: blue coconut, blue pineapple, and matcha. In hindsight, I should have swapped out one (or honestly, two) for something more tart, like huckleberry, pitaya, or mango. I think that would've balanced everything out much better. I also LOVED their house-made nut butters. And the unlimited toppings?! Amazing. There are so many options, and you can really customize your bowl exactly how you want it. Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be back!!
