    Banana pudding best drink ever!
    Yen P.

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

    Hot chocolate 5/5

    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.

    Iced almond milk latte

    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.!

    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
    Kat C.

    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.

    Great new location in Oceanside. Love the drive-thru! Also, recommend downloading the app and place order ahead of time. Walked in, nice music playing. All the employees were working very hard. When I got to the counter was greeted warmly. Asked if I was part of their loyalty program. Drink was delicious! Made quickly. Although it is sweet, it's not overly sweet. There are plenty of customizations available. There is street parking and a parking lot.

    Snickerdoodle iced latte
    Jasmin A.

    Fast and friendly service. I ordered the iced snickerdoodle latte, it was perfect!! I can't wait to try other flavors.

From the moment we arrived, Sierra greeted us with her kindness and attentiveness. She was warm, welcoming, and genuinely present, checking in at just the right moments without ever feeling intrusive. It was clear she truly cared about creating a positive experience, and that level of attentiveness made a big difference. Bryce was equally impressive in his approach. What shined was his care and attention to detail, especially when it came to accommodating my allergies. He made a point to ask questions before taking action, ensuring that everything was handled safely and thoughtfully. I appreciated how realistic and transparent he was about what could and couldn't be modified, which helped build trust and made me feel more at ease navigating the menu. His professionalism and awareness were evident throughout. Drea also made a strong impression with her calm and reassuring presence. She approached everything with a sense of patience and understanding, and I felt genuinely understood and validated in my requests and concerns. Her demeanor helped create a relaxed environment, which is especially meaningful when dealing with dietary needs. She balanced efficiency with empathy in a way that felt very natural. As for the food and drinks, my friend really enjoyed the Buccaneer smoothie and even went back for a second cup of drip coffee, which they said was smooth and satisfying. I had an avocado, egg, and tortilla burrito, and I especially liked the house brown sugar coffee, which had a rich, slightly sweet flavor that came through as a highlight for me. Overall, while navigating modifications can sometimes be challenging, the staff made the experience feel manageable and supportive. Their kindness, attentiveness, and willingness to accommodate made a lasting impression, and it's clear that the team truly values customer care. I appreciated the window so we could order outside, sit outside, be right by the ocean and have access to restrooms.

I ordered the California breakfast burrito with kalua pork, and wow--easily one of the most delicious burritos I've had. The flavors were incredible, perfectly balanced, and just ridiculously satisfying. I'm honestly a little sad I'm just visiting because I know I'm going to be craving this long after I leave. I paired it with a Mexi mocha, which was also fantastic--rich and comforting, with that nostalgic Abuelita chocolate vibe that makes it feel extra special. On top of the amazing food, the service was super sweet and impressively fast. And the view? You really can't beat enjoying your meal right by the beach. All around, an unforgettable casual breakfast experience. I'll definitely be thinking about that burrito for a long time.
