Great location! Fast service, Atchi was so sweet, would definitely recommend! Location was great too

I've been coming to Better Buzz in Oceanside for a while, but after today's experience, I will never be back. The place has seriously gone downhill. We arrived at 9:30am and found one of the bathrooms completely demolished -- like someone had gone in and destroyed it. The other restroom wasn't much better. There was no toilet paper, no seat covers, and the toilet hadn't been cleaned in days. Absolutely disgusting and completely unacceptable for a coffee shop that claims to care about quality. The only decent part of the experience was the short girl behind the counter -- she was friendly and apologized sincerely. But when my husband asked to speak with a manager, we were met with Cynthia, who claimed to be in charge. Instead of addressing the problem professionally, she gave us attitude and smirked as she said, "We have a lot of homeless and they use the bathrooms." There's a code on the door, so that excuse doesn't even make sense. Cynthia went out of her way to be dismissive, rude, and completely unhelpful. She acted like she was too good to be bothered with customer concerns and clearly has no business being in a leadership role. Better Buzz, do better. Clean your restrooms, stock basic necessities, and hire managers who know how to lead instead of deflect blame. Until then, you've lost loyal customers read more

I love better buzz and am so glad the Oceanside location opened! It's consistently great, love the original and unique options and service at this location has been 10/10 every time. This morning, I accidentally sent my online order to the wrong location and the staff was amazing and immediately made the order and were so kind about it. Additionally, This location is easy to access!! Huge if you're just looking for a quick coffee pick up process. Parking is not an issue here. Plenty of parking in the lot and on the street and easy drive-through access! Another bonus is the beautiful mural and aesthetic inside the shop!! read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Coconut Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Unsatisfied with service, we got there and waited over 5 minutes waiting to be greeted or noticed. Better buzz coffee is as good as other coffee shop coffee. As far as ambiance, cluster F' all with their heads up each others _______' totally unacceptable!!! read more

Better Buzz has the best coffee, hands down! Their açaí bowls are one of the best as well! Their customer service is excellent and everyone is always so kind! read more

Better buzz is just too good! I come in almost daily and the staff treats me so well. They welcome me in by name and it just makes me feel so appreciated! I recommend this spot to everyone that asks for a recommendation for coffee! Special shoutout to Alondra for making my drink so good every time! read more

I always have a great experience here - the avo toast with hard boiled egg and the chai tea latte are faves. And the service is always with a smile. But one day, the line was getting long and Oscar came out to take my order. I was having a so-so day and he really brightened it up. He was so personable and genuine. Awesome employee you have BB Oside! read more

Super nice people, but I had to wait about 10ish min because I ordered food items which I wouldn't have minded at all if they weren't messed up. My Turkey pesto had half a slice of bread on one side & was missing my avocado read more

Great service! The guy at the drive thru was very friendly. The building looks beautiful! We will definitely be coming back.

Best coffee around açaí bowls are amazing croissants are super tasty hands down best place to get buzzed

Came into this coffee shop after a rough morning, and it honestly turned my mood around. It was pretty busy, with a steady flow of people inside and in the drive-thru, but the team Treanna, Kevin, and Carly (I believe) handled it all really well. The atmosphere was warm and uplifting, and the team genuinely looked like they were having fun working. They were not only quick and efficient with their service, but also genuinely friendly and welcoming to their customers. The coffee was great, but it was the overall vibe that really stood out. I will definitely be coming back. Thanks for creating such a positive vibe! read more

staff was perfect, despite only have two workers, they worked so hard and were super kind! thank you for the hard work! Happy New Year!!!

The service is so slow for some reason, doesn't matter if there's 2 cars or several cars it takes 10-15 mins or more to get a "quick" coffee before work. The coffee is good so I wish the service speed matched unfortunately. read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Got my drink order wrong so it took even longer - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

You can tell this business has put a lot of thought into every inch of their interior. Everything from the wall to the floor is Bee/Honey themed which is dope! Definitely gives you something to look at while you wait. Although the shopped looked "bee"sy, it didn't take long for us to get our drinks. This was my first time there and I tried the snickerdoodle latte. I wasn't blown away by it but it wasn't bad. I'd say it's a solid 7.5/10. Looking to stopping by again and trying some of their breakfast foods as well as their BUZZ ENERGY drinks. Overall a great experience! Definitely recommend it read more

This store is my favorite, not only for the best matcha lattes but because the team at this location are the absolute best. Shout out to one team member in particular, Treanna!! She is always going above to make sure I have the best experience. read more

Spacious seating room but usually very busy. Most of their drinks are quite sweet so beware. Their pumpkin cream cold brew is 100% better than Starbucks. BON CHANCE! read more

I'm a bit disappointed. My old go-to location in Temecula was amazing. I was all too happy when this location popped up because it is closer to home. However, this last time I was in was probably the worst. To get to the point of this review and make a long story short, after ordering a head of time, we went inside to pick up our order. None of the 4 drinks were ready, at first I thought, okay no big deal-we just went back to the car and continued to wait thinking maybe they were just a little behind. I mean, they were a little busy. It wasn't until about 30 minutes after the order was placed that they were ready. Yes, I said that right-30 minutes. Keep in mind, the 4 drinks were right off the menu-no-big-frills, except for alternative milk to be added to 2 of the drinks. Each of the drinks didn't even come out together. The first 2 drinks came out about 5 minutes apart from each other. And the last 2 drinks were ready together-10 minutes later and by that time, the ice was already melting in the first 2! This probably sounds confusing because it was confusing. How does a single order of 4 drinks take 30 minutes to make?? It's probably counter-productive and just dumb to not complete 1 order all at the same time or at least close together, but who am I to say. Anyway, it seems this location will probably have a bunch of pissed off customers if this continues to happen. Please get it together! read more

DELISH COFFEE, I ordered a lavender latte with pumpkin cold foam and it was sooo good. My husband had the mexican mocha latte, it was good but it had a burnt aftertaste; maybe the milk was steamed too much? Regardless though it was yummy. Staff is friendly :) read more

I actually parked here as I was heading to a graduation at Surfside Academy down the street so I stopped in afterwards to check it out. The place is vibrant and the decor is bright and cheerful. The staff was okay, friendly enough. I ordered a Vanilla Bean Latte with almond milk. It seemed to take a long time considering I was the only person waiting but it gave me time to take some pictures! The latte was nothing special and tasted more like a regular vanilla latte than vanilla bean. For $8, I would've expected a little more. read more

absolutely LOVE this place. workers were nice and loved how the place was decorated. loved my drinks as well, only thing i'd recommend is if you don't have a sweet tooth then ask for a lower sweetness level since both drinks were pretty sweet (but i like that so it was fine by me LOL). I will be coming here again! read more

I hit 10 different coffee shops , this is the slowest service ive ever experienced, no matter what day or what workers it's like they pass it on to each other. Don't work harder or faster is OK culture. read more

First and foremost !! Well, for me , is the lavender tea buzz yummm!!! Not a fan of sweet coffee drinks & usually I'd not consider a L.T.B. BUT it's PERFECT Oh my do I like this beverage. It's also very refreshing!!! Who'da known? Of course no coffee drink is complete w/o a bowl, some toast, a savory , ya know. Three seed Avocado toast. Period. My go to . I'm not one to mess with perfection. You know how , sometimes, tho too often really, the Avo is kinda or gasp alotta gross, doesn't taste.... right, right. Not these toasteronis. Oh no!! I would DEF let you know Nope. I have a favey-fave at another well known & loved( rightly so tho - I still frequent that restaurant for THEIR wonderful nums ) .

Wanted to try this new place. Seemed nice enough inside. Wasn't busy, a couple of people at tables. A few people working. I stood at the register for about 10 minutes, not even acknowledged that I was there! I won't be going back. read more

My favorite coffee spot in Oceanside ! It's convenient and right by the beach. The employees are always friendly and quick

Grand opening today and we happened by after having a coffee at another location early in the morning. Always a great stop, this happened to be extra special due to the circumstances. We were enthusiastically greeted and made our way to the counter. For a grand opening, everyone seemed on point and knew what they were doing. Great job management team on that aspect. Ordered an apple tart and medium roast large black coffee. My wife and son had mint infused iced coffee and a honey latte'. On this part, from the checkout to the pick up, all employees were in sync, happy, and making it happen. Great job on this aspect people, you made the experience perfect. Everything was great, the apple tart was so good that I ate it before I took a picture of it, sorry. As for the rest, excellent, their medium roast is smooth as butter. We were even given black better buzz cups as a parting gift. As a visitor from Hawaii here to attend a graduation, I can only hope we are soon to see some better buzzing on Oahu. Come on bees, we need a hive. read more

Please fix the lids while I was drinking my pumpkin chai with the lid it was leaking and I had to use a straw eve though I didn't want to use a straw...a lot of homeless people sleeping in the restaurant. And the outside seating was dirty.. read more

Now I see why no one wanted anything when I said I was going to betterbuzz this morning. Maybe it's just new but... Coffee (americano iced) tastes burnt, yogurt bowl was only half full this morning. $30 some bucks for 3 coffees and a bowl of yogurt. 2 drinks were thrown out and couldn't be enjoyed due to burnt taste. Been to Oceanside location twice this week as well as also once to Encinitas and Escondido. Oceansides location is not even comparable to the others. Love betterbuzz bc when it's good, it's good. When it's not, it's a bummer, I'll avoid this location moving forward. Customer service there is basically like everywhere these days, bare minimum. There are so many truly great gems (local coffee shops) in Oceanside probably walking distance from here (The Cup 5 blocks down is 10/10) just saying. read more

Better Buzz Coffee - $10 bucks for a yogurt bowl that's only half full. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Staff is so friendly and helpful. Cynthia helped me pick a drink when I couldn't decide and it was the best drink I've ever had (coconut buzz) And their Avo toast is delicious. The place is such a vibe it's my go to place when visiting Oceanside. read more

Memorial Day Fail One star because my 2 year old liked the bee outside in their costume and they gave free reusable coffee cups and stickers Ordered Better buzz sandwich Side egg Ham and cheese croissant Iced vanilla latte Carmel blended drink Everything came out at different times They forgot my egg and better buzz sandwich Ordered better buzz sandwich without avocado- they put on avocado My iced coffee was warm With 20 people behind the counter they need to figure it out Disappointed- thought this would be a go to spot Will not be returning read more

Unfortunately the new Better Buzz was disappointing. I ordered a hot Matcha and a "pop tart" warmed up. They didn't know the flavor of the pop tart and asked me to tell them what it was. Strange but not a huge deal. Then I noticed how many people were working- at least 10. Again not incredibly unimaginable since they just opened a few weeks ago and possibly still training. But then my drink took 7 minutes- no one was in line ahead of me meanwhile the majority of workers stood around chatting-not making drinks. When my drink was finally ready they forgot the pop tart I'd ordered and didn't warm it up when I kindly reminded them what I'd ordered. I don't mind a business being in the beginning phases but in my opinion at least offer discounts, a free something or incentive to spend time and money there. The matcha wasn't great, wouldn't order that there again. My advice is stick to our locally owned mom and pop shops that get it right, have delicious beverages and food and that need and deserve our business! read more

Staff were so nice and welcoming!! They helped me understand the different drinks when I was confused. Definitely will be back, and recommend everyone to get it!! I walked out with a white mocha with lavender and oat milk! The barista that recommended it was amazing! read more
