    The end where you pick up your coffee
    Lisa T.

    I only tried one coffee here so far and it was good, however, didn't blow me away. The pastries looked top-notch, but I didn't get to a chance to try one. COST (3/5): Kind of on the more expensive side because they charge for milk substitute and Starbucks no longer does. An extra $1! $9 for a coffee? Crazy times we live in! Got the SNICKERDOODLE LATTE. Not too sweet but wish it were stronger.

    My coffee of the day

    If you haven't tried Better Buzz yet, you're missing out! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with friendly smiles and genuinely great customer service. The staff is always patient, helpful, and happy to answer questions or make recommendations, which makes every visit enjoyable. One thing I absolutely love is how customizable their drinks are. They offer different milk options, and you get to choose your sweetness level. Want it full sweet? Half sweet? Quarter sweet? No sweet at all? They'll make it exactly how you like it. I wish more coffee shops offered that kind of flexibility! My personal favorites are the Pistachio Cinnamon Latte and the Hazelnut Divinity. Both are packed with flavor without being overwhelming, and they're drinks I find myself craving again and again. And don't stop at the coffee! Their pastries are delicious, the sandwiches are fresh and satisfying, and their açaí bowls are perfect when you're in the mood for something refreshing and a little healthier. Whether you're grabbing your morning coffee, meeting up with a friend, or looking for a place to relax and get some work done, Better Buzz is definitely worth the stop. Great drinks, great food, and even better people. I'll definitely be back!

    I just tried the new Pina Coola-da Refresher and it really is refreshing! When I took my first sip, I could definitely taste the pineapple. The coconut flavor came at the end. I didn't really taste the green tea, which was fine by me. I really enjoyed the pineapple and coconut flavors in it! It's also a very pretty drink! The colors mixed on my way home, which is why it's one color versus the blue on top and the yellow at the bottom. This is a very ingenious collaboration with Coola!

    Great customer service! The food and pastries are so good! I love the Carmel Vanilla Best Drink Ever!!

    First time stopping by this location and the vive is super chill it's nicely decorated, very zen like. Great atmosphere to enjoy a great drink and conversation. Sean and Melissa made our first visit a great one We ordered the snickerdoodle late and the Cinnamon cold brew and they were yummy! Can't go wrong with any of their drinks.and I even got a free sticker for my car!

    Iced white mocha latte -- delicious
    Patrick ..

    Bottom Line Up Front: Better Buzz is a Southern California coffee chain that delivers delicious beverages, excellent customer service, and an overall experience that makes it feel like a mom-and-pop shop. The Drinks: I got the Best Drink Ever. That's not an exaggeration, that's literally the name of the coffee. It's a classic americano with creamy vanilla. Does that make it the best ever? No, but it was tasty ... though, I ordered half sweet and it was still more sugary than expected. Since I ordered it hot, I saved half in the fridge and then served it on ice later to dilute the sweetness. My wife got an iced White Chocolate Mocha, which was delicious. She also got it half sweet and it was well balanced, perhaps because it was already iced. The Service: I've been here a few times and the staff is always super friendly, very knowledgable, and quite accommodating. Unlike other places where it can be hit and miss or straight-up incompetent, Better Buzz always has, well, better service. Props to the management for proper training and good judgement when hiring. The App: Despite being a regional chain, Better Buzz has a superior mobile app than many international companies. It's simple to use, easy to read, and even provides me with random coupons, deals, and even a free drink from time to time. The Prices: While the cost of coffee has skyrockted everywhere since the pandemic, the prices here aren't exorbitant. Cheap? No. But also not a ripoff. In a world where a "fancy" coffee is now $8, but it's a relief to see at least one brand keeping regular-sized drinks around the $5-to-$6 range. The Location: This particular shop is easy to access off of Imperial Highway, but only if you're going westbound, as it's an easy right turn. However, if you're going eastbound, you'll have to turn left across three lanes of busy traffic to access the entrance to the plaza where Better Buzz is located. The same problem exists when leaving the plaza. Fortunately, there's plenty of parking throughout this commercial strip mall. The Setting: The interior is clean, well organized, and nicely decorated with just the right amount of decor. There are plenty of tables to choose from and the seats are comfortable. The Conclusion: Unlike a certain Seattle-based franchise, Better Buzz is a local chain that offers great drinks at reasonable prices with excellent customer service that doesn't make you feel like just another number.

    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).

    Coconut buzz, Better Breakfast Sandwich

    The service was amazing, from Kat. The food and coffee never disappoints. We ordered the killer bee with vanilla, coconut buzz, and better breakfast with avocado. The best part was the chocolate chip cookie which wasn't shared with me

    Favorite drink...Best Drink Ever hot (or cold)
    Karen T.

    Since I can't have lactose, I love I never have to pick a substitute non-dairy milk as there is no dairy in this drink. Service is always quick and the order takers in the driveway are always friendly. Only con: the hot coffee cups. Not sure why they are always doubled (2 coffee cups) but the coffee cover doesn't fit snuggly. Not sure if it is because they always double stack the coffee cups that the cover doesn't fit correctly and then leaks. Twice it has spilled on our clothes at the beginning of our morning.

    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.

    A small little cafe in Placentia. This place is perfect for great coffee or to hang out. I like the vibe and ambiance here, it is very relaxing and makes you feel comfortable. I will definitely try to come back again.

    Got the Cinnamon Cream Cold Brew! Great drink for a hot summer day and a 2pm pick me up. Went thru the drive thru and Kat provided great fast service and excellent energy! Really appreciate it!

I feel like their milk ratio is higher than most places - which leaves the latte to taste "watered down" and the espresso or matcha gets drowned out by the milk.

Inside seating is small BUT there are quite a few tables available with OUTLETS, which is helpful for doing laptop work, etc. They have a LOYALTY (points) system which is nice for working towards a free drink at least. They have quite a few different pastries - croissants, donuts (which are very yummy & fluffy), cheese danishes, cinnamon rolls, etc etc Service is usually pretty QUICK and friendly, which I appreciate.

The same could be said of the panini which, aside from the prosciutto, included arugula, garlic aioli, tomato, and mozzarella (it usually comes with roasted bell pepper but I asked to leave that ingredient off). The sandwich came with a pedestrian house salad; some greens with four grape tomatoes and a balsamic dressing. There is a huge free parking structure across the street which makes coming here easy.
