ive loved better buzz ever since i tried it in sd a couple years ago and im so happy they are opening locations in oc now! i prefer this location over the fullerton one because its less busy and the staff here is AWESOME! kyle was so helpful and knowledgeable about all their drinks! he was so friendly and made our experience here memorable!! this location also is super big & has lots of seatings, perfect for studying or hanging out with friends! super clean here too! + has a drive thru

I really wanted to like this place because I always try to support new local businesses, and the shop itself is clean and inviting. Unfortunately, my experience with the coffee wasn't great. The first drink was very bitter, so I asked for it to be remade. It was still not good the second time. When I mentioned the taste, the response was to add a lot of caramel rather than address the issue. I understand that in any busy coffee shop, mistakes can happen especially when thousands of drinks are made every day. That's completely normal. What made the experience disappointing was how it was handled. The staff seemed visibly annoyed, and there wasn't really an effort to offer another solution even though the shop wasn't busy. In the end, I gave my $8 best drink ever coffe back to the employees and didn't finish it, and there was no offer to make it right despite it being clear I wasn't satisfied. Overall, it's a nice space, but the customer service during my visit didn't match the environment.

Airy, bright, clean, & roomy space with lots of options for seating: couches, high top tables, little low coffee tables, built in cushioned seating with outlets to charge your phone or to keep your laptop juiced. A convenient drive-thru too (4/5). I've been to many Better Buzz Coffeehouses, this one isn't the most charming or swanky, but it has the same delicious coffee. Today I ordered the caramel vanilla latte (4/5). I was greeted as soon as I opened the door, but they didn't even look up from what they were doing. They're very busy so the curt service is understandable (3/5).

This was our first visit here and the place is nicely set up. More of a living room feeling. Nice and clean. The server was excellent and reviewed the drinks they had and made sure that we knew what was in all of them. We did not get any food, but we did get a nice ice blended caramel coffee. Let me tell you this was great. We will definitely be back.

always pass by this place and today was the day I finally stopped in! super cute, clean and chill place to study. they have free wifi and outlets! got the iced vanilla bean latte and appreciate it not being too overtly sweet. the seating is comfy and plenty here at this location. it is a sunday so I can see it being busier possibly during fri/sat nights. cashier was helpful as well to suggest what drink to get! thanks sam!

I pass by Better Buzz so often, yet it took me until my last visit to come through here. I did not know what to expect visiting Better Buzz, but it turned out to be a pretty nice coffee shop. I was really wanted to try their iced Horchata Latte, as I really enjoyed a drink similar from another coffee shop. Well, it was pretty good, but the other chain was better. It was not bad, just wasn't as creamy and cinnamon-y like the ones I've had. So I will say that their Horchata Latte is a lighter version of this drink. They do give a pretty heavy scoop of ice, which I was like I should've told them less, but it didn't make it taste any less horchata-y. Counter service was okay, though the staff was just talking with one another and guy I ordered my drink with almost missed my espresso shot in my drink, until his other co-worker told him my drink includes a shot. Thanks for catching that guy #2! One thing I did appreciate this coffee shop is that they have good seating space. I would return just for that. And this location is kind of in a smaller plaza in Placentia, so it's also not super busy in the plaza or at Better Buzz. Would I come back? Yep, probably.

For well over 30 years. I have been drinking my coffee black. Ive tried numerous different brands, flavors and roasts and Better Buzz has the BEST black coffee on the market! It's very smooth and not acidic at all. Plus, the flavors of the beans come through extremely well! When I needed a recommendation of which one to buy, Shaun recommended the Dark+Light Roast. I usually prefer flavored blends, but this one tasted fantastic on its o

Love this coffee spot! So happy they opened ! Friendly staff and they always get my order to perfection! New favorite spot! Highly recommend getting the best drink ever! Shoutout to Kat for being so sweet and kind!

Butter Buzz Coffee is such a cute spot! The staff was so sweet and made the whole visit feel extra welcoming. Also loved how clean and cozy it felt. I got the banana pudding drink and wow... it literally tasted sooo good so creamy. And the pastries? So fresh and delicious! Definitely coming back

New coffee shop in Placentia with a drive thru - especially helpful for parents and not having to take kids out of the car seat! There was a short drive-thru line on a Thursday morning, so we decided to head inside instead. With just one person ahead of us, we were helped right away. Ordered a hot Best Drink Ever ($5.79) and the Horchata Iced Latte ($6.59) which were both were ready in under five minutes. Unfortunately, the coffee itself fell a bit flat - both drinks tasted somewhat watery and lacked strong flavor. I'll give it another try in a few weeks, especially since the vanilla bean latte caught my eye. Hopefully the coffee flavor improves next time. The interior was a light-filled, open design with ample places to sit. Located in the same plaza as M&J Donuts / Chuck E.Cheese. Location took over a previous Carl's Jr. Ample amount of parking in the shared lot.

Originating from San Diego, Better Buzz Coffee has opened another location here in OC! While there's already a location in Fullerton, I've only been to the SD spots before. I'm happy to see that this new coffee spot has been thriving during its opening week. From the moment you walk in, the entire team behind the counter cheerfully greets you. When you leave, you'll hear choruses of "Have a bee-autiful day!" and other fun bee puns. The woman working the drive-thru also had on this incredibly cute bee hat. Staff members worked efficiently like they've been doing this for years, and were attentive to maintaining the sitting areas too which I appreciate. I arrived on a Saturday morning and worked here for several hours. The line inside stayed consistently long, but the space never felt overcrowded thanks to the open layout. The music is loud, but it's energetic in a way that complements the tone this Better Buzz is going for: bright, caffeinated, and comfortable. The staff is patient and helpful when explaining menu items, and they'll call out your name when your order is ready. *Best Drink Ever (iced): I had their classic vanilla iced coffee. It was delicious, and for me, was the perfect amount of sweetness while still letting the vanilla flavor come through. *Deluxe Avocado Toast: The deluxe avocado toast comes on multigrain bread and includes cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, microgreens, with a balasmic glaze drizzled on top. You can add bacon or a boiled egg for additional cost. The toast was warm, delicious, and surprisingly filling. I plan to try more of their menu and add this cafe to my rotation of study spots. There is plenty of parking, and they do have a drive-thru. Inside, there's wifi, ample outlets, and comfortable seating from cushioned booths to high stools to a couch right in the middle. They also have bathrooms that are well-maintained and continue the bee-theme that prevails inside and out of the cafe. It's a great place to come by to study solo, catch up with friends, or spend time with family. Welcome to Placentia, Better Buzz!

It truly is the best drink ever

My husband got a breakfast burrito in which he forgot sometimes he isn't a fan of them because they overload with potatoes, but he said he really enjoyed this one. Considering I'm also pregnant in my first trimester, I was so glad they had milk to help with my calcium intake. All in all, I would definitely come back here given the chance.

What other better place to celebrate our friend reunion at a place called "Reunion"? ;)…read more We were looking for a good brunch place to try out and found this place near Corona. Parking: I had no problem finding parking spot as the lot is huge and shared with many other businesses. Interior: We were seated right away without any wait time as we arrived when they just opened. We were seated in a dark area of the restaurant (think bar vibe) so I was a little not sure at first. Most brunch places I went to were always filled with sunlight and bright colorful interiors. This place embraced a classic, quiet feel, something like a Steak House would have. Service: Our server's name was Susan I believe, who was nice and attentive through the whole meal, despite the crowd slowly built up and filled the restaurant. She never failed to check back on us, not just once but twice and refilled our water. She probably isn't as familiar with the brunch menu favorites but seem to know more about the Main menu. The General Manager came out and greeted us because most of their customers are regulars and it's uncommon to have first timers like us visiting. This nice hospitality made us feel very warmly welcomed and impressed. Food: I couldn't decide whether to go with the Slow braised beef on the brunch menu (braised beef benedict) or the main menu but ended up going with the Main menu to get a good portion size. It was a perfect choice because the beef is just amazing. It was cooked to a soft perfection, well seasoned, the roasted vegetable was also cooked just right and not super raw/ crunchy like other places. Then the star of the show arrived - the butter cake. As Susan suggested, this is their most popular dessert and I can see why. The butter cake comes piping hot with the ice cream on top. There's a nice sugar crunchy feel near the bottom of the cake. It's so delicious that I want to come back just to eat this cake. We had a great time overall and would love to come back.
