    Large nitro coffee after it settled
    Caleb A.

    My first visit to Better Buzz. I'd always assumed it was worth the wait as the Encinitas location is perpetually packed, but now I understand why the line moves so slowly. It's not demand, it's understaffing. The person taking orders was juggling at least three roles at once. No fault of the barista's. The bigger disappointment, though, was the coffee itself. I ordered a large nitro, expecting the cold, creamy pour you'd get anywhere that does it well. It arrived over ice, already a red flag. I asked for a remake without ice, which they handled graciously, but what came back was flat, barely half a cup once it settled, with none of the velvety texture nitro should have. Just watered-down, lukewarm coffee.

    I had to try the new Vanilla Bean Oat Milk Iced Espresso. I was a little concerned because I do not do overly sweet beverages, but the young lady at the register assured me it was not very sweet and she was right. The beverage's subtle sweetness came from the vanilla bean syrup. Both the vanilla flavor and sweetness was very limited in a helpful way. It allowed the espresso and oat milk flavor to stand out, which made the coffee drink enjoyable to drink. They put just the right amount of ice and the drink was refreshing. Oh yes, I also had a zucchini walnut loaf with the iced espresso and it was very good. I do recommend it. Both actually. The hospitality was good. It was not as upbeat as the last Better Buzz visit in Imperial Beach, but good enough. The service was very good. They had my order ready even before I sat down at a table. I was like, "let me chill a moment," which was a joke of course.

    Cinnamon cream cold brew
    Amy N.

    Ordered the large cinnamon cream cold brew & it too sweet for my liking -- would probably order it half sweet next time if I come back. Large size was VERY large! There are better coffee shops out there, but the employees were super nice & it's an overall clean location with outlets and lots of seating to WFH/study at.

    Strawberry Rose Best Drink Ever.
    Emma K.

    I wanted to order my usual this afternoon but glad I went with the suggestion made about the Strawberry Rose Best Drink Ever......so good! It's such a pretty drink, not too sweet of course and was just the pick-me-up that I needed! Thank you to the barista taking the drive thru orders-you were on point and the drink made my day!

    Fantastic coffee and service from a woman who was so enthusiastic and friendly, wish I had got her name. Their banana bread is to die for! Good location with a clean lobby and they have a drive thru if you don't feel like getting out. Highly recommend better buzz!

    Horchata latte
    Nancy M.

    Clean and comfortable. Well maintained. Friendly service. Efficient. Nice selection of coffees, teas, and food items.

    The ambiance is really chill and the service was amazing! Grayce was so nice! She explained the menu and her fave choices. Especially the seasonal drinks and their best drink. The seasonal banana pudding best drink ever and the Nutella croissant was!!! If you need a pick me up stop here on the way to SD or heading back to LA!!

    My first time at Better Buzz and it was super yummy! I got the Banana Pudding Best Drink Ever and it was delicious I also had the Nutella croissant warmed up and I was in heaven. My barista, Grayce, was so friendly and explained the drinks on the menu that I was interested in. Great music too!

    Caprese sandwich
    Stephanie S.

    I ordered a caprese sandwich and a pink smoothie with dragonfruit in it. Both were delicious. I like how the food was freshly made. The bread on it wasn't hard when toasted and the mozzerella cheese was nice and melted with a nice cheese pull. The arugula really complemented the sandwich a lot surprisingly. I was nice and full for brunch. The service was exceptional here. My hubby got the best drink ever banana one he loved it too. I think it had a nilla wafer and whipped cream in it. It tasted very good for a cold brew drink.

    For only being open for a few weeks, they are doing great! I did go opening day and service was fantastic and my drink tasted exactly the same as other locations, so their quality control is great too. I've enjoyed going through their drive-thru as it's pretty fast, but my most recent visit, i decided to walk in and order. It didn't take too long for our drinks to be made, even though they were busy. Again, our drinks tasted right, so the quality is there. The staff is very friendly and welcoming too. Plenty of seating inside and a few seats outside. Really easy to park as well since this is located in a shopping plaza. The drive thru line could get long but they have it setup so it would still be easy to park if you wanted to go inside instead.

    needed to stopped into better buzz to redeem my birthday offer. it was only like 530pm and it was so dark outside already. this store def looked closed but it wasnt.. ordered from their seasonal menu: iced candy cane best drink . 9/10 . perfect after taste of candy cane/peppermint service was okay. place was empty. parking: no issues. def needs more lighting in the parking lot.

    Vanilla caramel latte
    Lisa O.

    I stopped by Better Buzz and ordered a Caramel Vanilla Latte -- it was absolutely delicious! The flavor was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and so smooth. The coffee had that rich, creamy taste that makes you want to sip it slow and enjoy every drop. The staff was friendly and the vibe in the café was super cozy and inviting. Definitely one of my new favorite coffee spots!

Mike and the entire team at Dreamwave are doing such an incredible job of making the experience worth every penny. The quality of the coffee, the work they do, and the service they provide is truly top tier. While they do have a lot of fun flavors, this is not the kind of place that drowns the palate with sweetness. They expertly balance the ratio of syrup, milk, and espresso to provide the best outcome. The nuttiness of their roast really shines, and they're always happy to adjust the sweetness if you need them to. Personally, I love the lower sweetness level being the default. These guys know what they're doing! We've been visiting for the past week and have stopped through Dreamwave four times this week. While I'm always in the need of a coffee fix, we've gone out of our way to visit multiple times because the people have been so beyond kind. We've sampled most of the house flavors and I can confidently say they have all been delicious. This would definitely be my go-to shop if I lived nearby.

The first time we went, we ordered Cafe de la Olla and La Morena- both with oat milk and I asked them to double check the syrups did not contain dairy. I was told all was good so we enjoyed our lattes and our daughters shared a hibiscus refresher. On our second and third visit we ordered again, La Morena and one other latte. I asked again if the syrups contained any dairy and was told no. We ordered again with oat milk. On the second visit, my husband had stomach problems and I suspect dairy was somehow inadvertently used. On the third visit, I thought it may have been a fluke, my husband getting sick and so we ordered what we had the first time but this time I got sick. So, I'm not sure if there is dairy in the syrup or if they accidentally used cow milk in our lattes. Too bad too, because the flavors were tasty. We also appreciated the donuts from Doughside Donuts. I'm just not sure we will be ordered coffee from here anymore. The entry is really cute and you automatically see the variety of plants. They sell some jewelry and plant/Mexican pastry merchandise. Service was friendly but parking is not so great, especially when they are busy. Street parking only and it can be slim, especially on street sweep days. Cute shop but be weary if staying away from dairy.

This place has such a loyal following that people will happily walk a few blocks just to get their Revo fix. One of my favorite things is their seasonal menu. I've learned to fully embrace each special while it's here because once it's gone, it's gone. Right now, I'm completely obsessed with the Coconut Mango Sticky Rice Matcha. I'm pretty sure the baristas recognize me as "the Sticky Rice Matcha lady" at this point! I'm soaking up every sip while it's in season, and although I'll be sad when it's gone, I know they'll surprise me with something amazing next season. Their food is just as impressive. The toast is delicious, they use Prager Brothers bread, organic avocado, and fresh tomatoes, and you can really taste the difference that quality ingredients make. It's refreshing to find a café that clearly cares about food integrity. Another huge bonus for me is that they offer almond milk. So many coffee shops default to oat milk, but I appreciate having another option that fits my preferences. The only downside is the parking. My strategy is simple: go early if you can. Once it gets busy, finding a spot can be an adventure. But even with that minor inconvenience, Revolution Roasters is absolutely worth the trip. Incredible coffee, thoughtful seasonal drinks, quality ingredients, and a team that clearly cares about what they serve. Easy five stars.
