    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!

My husband ordered a berries and cream croissant, and I had a ceremonial Matcha with vanilla. Service was excellent. They brought our drinks to us which was nice, I liked how bright it was inside with all the glass windows. I definitely be back in the area again. Great stop.

I had the breakfast sando on a house made and . baked round croissant. Their are three to choose from. I had the southern comfort for $11.99 plus tax. It came with a savory sausage patty, a black pepper country gravy, a fried egg made with garlic butter. The southern comfort sando was very tasty. The sausage and fried egg were very good. I liked the the round croissant they use for the sandwich. It was very buttery and had a good flakiness, but the one I received, had issues staying together. I liked the croissant, but I just wish it would stay together better. There's a good amount of inside seating at this location, but I did not see any on the outside. The man and lady working at this location were nice.

I asked for the girl that worked at the counter to please only make it slightly sweet. It was absolutely perfect. Just the slightest hint of gingerbread, not that sweet. Didn't overpower the fantastic roast on the beans. She was very nice, she delivered it to me on the patio and even offered to remake it if I didn't like the sweetness level. I could tell the coffee was very much my taste. I went back inside after I finished my latte and talked to the girl at the counter for a little while. She helped me choose a bag of coffee to bring home, talk to me about the flavor, nuances and let me smell them, etc.. She also introduced me to the owner/Roster who happened to be there at the time. He and his wife are from Columbia and all of their beans are sourced from there and then he roasts them for sale locally. He was telling me that he's been roasting coffee beans in San Diego for other coffee shops and he still does that but he opened his first coffee shop in 2018. I truly had so many more questions, but I could tell he was busy and didn't want to bother him, he was trying to finish up the roasts on all of the specialty coffees for the holiday gift packs!
