choose this spot for your morning coffee run. fast service and great drinks! love this better buzz location

I come to this Better Buzz location a couple times a week and Tori is a big reason why. She's always in a great mood, genuinely friendly and makes the whole experience better every single visit. What really stands out is that she has my name and order memorized. It's a small detail, but it makes me feel valued as a regular. Customer service like this is rare. Tori sets the standard and she definitely keeps me coming back. read more

My daughter and I wanted to try the Matcha drinks because we did not get enough at 12-hour Matcha. So we ventured a few stores down to "Better Buzz Coffee" to order food and try their Matcha beverages. This place is very cute and esthetically pleasing to the eyes. We ordered two Matcha beverage. Also, since 12-hour Marcha did not serve food we had to eat something as well. I ordered an Açaí bowl and my daughter had a breakfast sandwich. We enjoyed both of our orders. My açaí bowl was loaded with plenty of fruit, hemp hearts, and cocoa nibs. So flavorful and delicious. My daughter's sandwich looked so good. It had egg, ham, and cheese in a wrap. She loved it. Unfortunately, the Matcha drinks were not good. They were bigger in size, but tasted bad. They mixed the Matcha with water instead of milk. Really? Anyway, I give 4 stars because the food was good, however, the Matcha drinks were not. . We ended up throwing them out. Yikes! read more

Oh man I think this is worse better buzz location. I used to come here a lot when I used to work at PB and the place looks not cute at all. I've been to better buzz in poway, Mira mesa, fashion valley, Miramar, and Rancho penasquitos and this is probably the most unaesthetic and super small place. Worst of all, I ordered Cortado, I think they made me latte... . Everyone looks like they were busy and I didn't want to confirm if they gave me Cortado or latte... it's too much volume for Cortado for sure.. I also tried zucchini but bread... it was so so they didn't even bother if I wanted it warm or not like at Starbucks lol Won't come back read more

Better buzz is a special treat! All of the drinks I have had there are delicious. I often get a lavender buzz. It's best to order that not ahead of time so you still get the blended drink vs it melted down. The service there is a like a well oiled machine. I often use the app to get points which yields free drinks or specials! Once I had an issue with ordering my free drinks and they helped me no problem. This location is mainly drive through but does have two parking spots. You can also park in the neighboring fast food parking lot quick if you need to pick up a to go order. The driver through exits to an alley so drive safe! read more

Great, kind service! The staff here are attentive, thoughtful and really give each customer a satisfied experience. This is my go to Better Buzz. Drinks are deliciously made! read more

From the drive through to the coffee itself, 10 Out of 10 experience! Alan really makes the experience - I have had the pleasure of him taking my order a handful of times, and I always leave a smile. I'd also like to note the pistachio cinnamon drink is elite and my new favorite! Thanks for fueling my days BB! read more

While on vacation the last few years we have always gone here. They have delicious smoothies, breakfast sandwiches, lattes & more. The service is pretty fast for how long the lines get. It's a quick walking distance from the beach house & makes for a quick morning bite on the go. I love their mango smoothie! My daughter loves their iced lavender matcha latte. Wish they would have ask me or told me about the rewards program. We discovered Scottsdale has one so have been ditching Starbucks & Dutch bros to come to better buzz. read more

My favorite coffee, "Honey latte with whipped cream on top!" It's the best coffee ever but lately the temperature is not hot enough! I introduced it to a very special friend of mine and it is now his new favorite coffee too, except he orders his with extra honey. However, it gives me jitters (maybe it's just me). I also love their chocolate banana nut bread and my son loves their conscious chocolate and the pink dragon smoothie, It's so good! read more

I love better buzz in general but this specific location is amazing! They are always so kind and efficient. Specifically the woman who was working the drive through window around 11:30 today was the sweetest person ever. I didn't get her name but if anyone sees this they need to know that she is amazing!! I'm so lucky to live close to this location and just needed to say this place has such great employees that never fail to make my day better! read more

Delicious coffee! I'm normally just a cold brew girlie but want to try something new every once in a while. Abby helped me recently and had so many recs and helped me modify so that it wasn't too sweet for me. I ended up getting an iced vanilla bean latte and it was perfect! read more

Service is a little slow. 2 employees at the time of our visit. No Customer in the drive thru either. But our matcha latte came out good. Music is louder than normal. Shared parking with Jack in the box. read more

Good location a few blocks from the beach. Greeted right away, asked for my name, which is James but apparently ended up being Ben. Ordered a vanilla bean hot latte with an extra shot. Turned out to be way too sweet for my liking, I might have overlooked that but it was way too milky and not so much coffee tasting. Place was full so nowhere to sit, sat outside in the lovely California sun. read more

Great food options, coffee, and more. Quick in and out drive through. Service is always friendly

I absolutely love this store. I was out in PB shopping and I've been to the La Mesa location and it's quite overwhelming. But for some reason, the store is spot on. My drink was correct. The staff were absolutely amazing and so helpful and sweet and Jamie was one of the nicest sweetest helpful people I could've asked for. It may be a small store, but they bring a lot of joy into the day. read more

Walked to a drive-thru to grab a quick cup of coffee before making the drive back to LA. Fantastic drinks: *Horchata Latte - would get again; not a super sweet and a good balanced drink *Matcha Latte Sub Coconut Milk - would get again; creamy coconut flavor and strong matcha Quick service and not a sit down spot. read more

Tried and true coffee convert. Ever since my daughter turned me on to Better Buzz because she likes the hot chocolate creaminess better than the Green Mermaid's blend, I as a non-coffee, devoted to Chai, loyal customer of Green Mermaid will take the extra 10 minutes to drive to PB East 1909 Garnett location For: HAZELNUT DIVINITY (w/almond milk) sweet nectar. Yes, I know, it's coffee - but it's so so good! Better Buzz made a brilliant recipe!! Yes, I know there are other colony locations. Believe me, in a pinch, I'll buzz up to their counter. It's a different experience though - recipe is inconsistent esp at Grand local. At PB East the crew, new hires and old brood, always look up from their tasks to greet the open door. They are usually laughing and doing the kitchen "waggle dance" to operate in the cramped honeycomb. They work together, genuinely like each other and recognize their community as we pass through. My drink, and my daughter's hot chocolate at 140*, from PB East is stored in my Favorite Orders tab in the app. A feature of the app that makes ordering from specific locations super easy! I can modify others' drinks with the many modifier options in the app. I wish I could consolidate leftover gift card amounts in the app. That requires reaching out to cust. service. Oceanside made a fantastic Avocado Toast. My Jr Lifeguard kiddo feels grown-up when she orders from the Mission Beach mayhem spot. They treat her with maturity not like a "kid" surrounded by "real" customers. Fashion Valley has their hands full with long lines and still they smile and enjoy naming the butterflies and birds that frequent their window. PB West is a bigger space, often tourists drop by. The crew drones stay pretty distant from customer interaction and it's nice to relax upstairs with view of beach while we wait - and it is a wait at this location- for our BB. I still pick up Green Mermaid drinks for my hubby and other kiddo. That staff is also friendly. They say they miss me. I blush and almost immediately start craving a bee-bop to pollinate my Hazelnut tastes. So, I fly back down to Lindsey and the hive she cultivates with their ease and compassion and familiarity. Long-winded way of saying BETTER BUZZ got me. 1909 Garnet kept me. read more

Better Buzz has some of the best coffee I've tasted from a chain. None of that burnt coffee taste (starbucks). Awesome greek yogurt bowl and acai bowl. I'm a big fan of Better Buzz. Staff there is always friendly. Shoutout to Alan at the PB east location for going above and beyond with the customer service. Thank you Alan! read more

Great staff and consistent excellent customer service! Coffee is great and staff is always friendly and helpful.
