KayAnna S.

A wonderful better buzz when it comes to service and drink quality. The staff is amazing and my drinks always taste delicious. Fast service too! I will say the drive thru line is insane since it's so short. Many do end up blocking the road and may not read the sign to only wait on the one side. Otherwise a wonderful location!

Horchata latte and Turkey Pesto
Becca D.

3.5 stars. This location was small. Staff were pleasant. I got the horchata latte. It tasted kinda chalky almost like too much concentrate. It wasn't horrible but definitely could be better. I had the Turkey pesto sandwich. Over all really good just wish there was more pesto to add more flavor. It would be really nice to see a three bin system for trash, compost and recycle. There were two really small trash cans that were overflowing. I ended up giving my trash to staff behind the counter and let them know the trash bins are too full.

I love their Best Drink Ever, especially in cinnamon pistachio flavor. Service is friendly but they do a significant drive through business so it can take longer to receive your drink than you might expect. The place is pretty small compared to their flagship location, but there's plenty of indoor seating. Parking can be a real pain.

Carlos! Great service :)
Caroline Z.

Delicious coffee and amazing service. Thank you Carlos!!!! Also has a drive thru so super convenient and adorable.

First timer here ! Went twice during my stay in SD and still think about it after coming home. I'm not a coffee/latte person but man it was good and the staff is very friendly and just very engaging. Avocado Feta Deluxe is delicious, the honey latte is good for someone who wants something more sweet than bitter. Mango Buzz energy is just a straight smooth mango smoothie, does taste like there's an energy drink there somewhere but unsure what it could be. Definitely would be getting some more, any time I decide to take another trip to SD, felt like it was the DutchBros or Starbucks of SD just because of how popular it was and how many locations I've seen while exploring.

Yummy Holiday Drink!  Look at that cold foam cap!!!!!

Always great coffee. Less busy than other Better Buzz shops, but parking is limited. I park across the street. I love their flavor combos. Today was Best Drink Ever-Maple! Puts me in the mood for the holidays! And their reward program is generous. This was 1/2 off

Best Drink coffee

We were staying on an Airbnb on Emerson St in San Diego and we noticed this coffee shop just a block from our place. So one morning, we decided to try their coffee and pastries. The place was very busy and I noticed a lot of people coming in and out. I tried their Best Drink Ever Coffee with a bear claw pastry. It's an Americano with vanilla. It's delicious and I liked the way it was brewed. I loved coffee and I enjoy this coffee. Too bad, we're just visiting San Diego and I will miss this coffee shop.

I could tell that the place was good. There was a line going all the way down the street leading up to their drive thru. There is a small parking lot but the wrap around line for the drive thru made it very difficult to get in so we decided to park in the street adjacent. The place was bright and vibrant. The girl taking my order was bubbly and friendly. She was helpful in me making my choice given that it was my first time. We got a caramel frappe drink and the iced vanilla oat milk latte. Both were really good. They have lots of different drinks and flavors that look interesting. They also sell food and snacks. This was a great first experience of their brand. Looking forward to a return visit to try other items.

Banana pudding best drink ever , Acai Bowl- OG
Mari F.

First time trying this coffee spot and I love it. The menu is so fun and creative. They have different unique flavors and they have some food options both savory and sweet for a perfect breakfast bite on the go. The drive-through worker who took my order was so sweet and helpful. She really made my experience first time here amazing. !!

Ask the Community - Better Buzz Coffee

Is the horchata iced latte dairy free?

YASSS IT ISSSSS

Does anyone know what's in the lavender tea latte or how to make it? I have recently moved to Illinois in June since my partner is in the military and I've been craving it ever since

LET ME DO SOME DIGGING FOR YOU

What kind of whole milk brand do they use?

We have two suppliers. It will either be Wholesome Farm or Clover.

Is the almond milk unsweetened?

No :(. At least not for my order from a month ago

Are there any keto friendly options?

If you choose coconut milk and ask for it unsweetened I assume so! I've gotten drinks here while on a whole 30 diet

Do they have coconut milk or almond milk?

Yes. Both

Do they offer any decaf coffee or tea?

Yes.

Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

What a beautiful coffee/shop/bar here near Liberty Station market and so glad I randomly stopped…read morein! I will definitely be coming here, over and over again! In the early afternoon, this place had a line, which is a good sign. The line moved quickly but also gave me time to study their menu to see what I wanted. They specialize in Hawaiian style drinks, so I settled on a Hawaiian matcha. The guy taking me order was super sweet and friendly. I was wearing my favorite Monterey Bay Aquarium sweatshirt and he commented on how that aquarium is one of his favorites! Me too! He asked me what was my favorite thing about the aquarium and I told him the sea otters. I asked what his favorite was and he said the jellyfish exhibition and omg that was soo good! I remember being at that exhibit for awhile as the jellyfish light up and there are so many kinds and so cool to see how they move! In any case, it was so nice to talk about an aquarium we both love!! The Hawaiian matcha was great! I love that they used their Hawaiian syrup in my drink. The drink was pricey, so with oat milk substitution, and a tip, it came to $10. But, think of it this way, you are also using their beautiful facilities and you can lounge here and do work, read, spend some time here. The place is massive, with tons of seating inside (its all open space, so a nice ocean breeze keeps coming thru), and lots of seats outside too! I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I will definitely be coming back here and next time, gonna bring some work and books to read and post up here!!

The disappointment was so overwhelming that i feel like i need to write this review just to get it off my chest Moniker Coffee, you have officially set a new standard for disappointment i wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. save yourself the trouble

Coffee: My go-to is the Bee Yourself, their honey cinnamon latte. I love trying honey cinnamon lattes around San Diego, and this one is easily one of my favorites! Sometimes there's a line, but the drinks usually come out pretty quickly. Service: The staff is always friendly, which makes each visit that much better. Ambience: Being surrounded by plants and unique decor makes this such a beautiful place to sit, read a book, or hang out for a bit. I love how the decor changes with the seasons, so there's always something new to enjoy. We've also always found plenty of parking, which is a huge plus! Definitely a must-stop for coffee and plant lovers!

my friend and i checked out this cafe/plant nursery while visiting san diego…read more - the cafe was decorated with many plants and trees while connected to a plan nursery with even more plants and trees. there were a lot of tables for seating and there was a dj that was playing music was overhyped - we got the funny business matcha and the queenie. the funny business matcha (3.5/5) tasted way too strongly of cinnamon and i barely tasted the matcha that it ruined the drink for me. the queenie (4.0/5) was better but the matcha was a little bit powdery. we waited roughly 20 minutes for our drinks even though there wasn't that many people during the time we were here - the servers were nice and helpful to our needs. there is street parking and a mini parking lot at the plant nursery area. the nursery area was also very spaceous and it was a nice place to walk out while drinking our drinks. overall, this was a nice cafe to try out in the san diego area

At $15 for the pair, I expected something memorable. Upon arriving around high noon on a Saturday, the café was bustling, which only heightened my optimism. Feeling generous, I left a $20 cash tip at pickup. In hindsight, I should have sampled the rolls first. Visually, they made a strong first impression: a generous swirl, a glossy blanket of icing pooling at the base, and one adorned with plump raisins. Unfortunately, the substance did not match the presentation. The dough was noticeably dry, lacking the soft, pillowy tenderness that defines a truly exceptional cinnamon roll. Even the abundant icing could not compensate for what was missing within. Final verdict: 6.5 out of 10. Respectable, but not remarkable. The ambiance and popularity suggest Con Pane has its devotees, yet these rolls did not earn my loyalty. And so, the search for San Diego's finest cinnamon roll continues. -- Captain 619

It's a fudge texture and we thought it might have toffee and walnuts inside. A chocolate ganache topped it off. It got mixed reviews. It was described as "more candy than brownie" & very rich. Personally I didn't care for it. It was chewy, deep chocolate but underwhelmed. My cousin and I tried the truffle. The chocolate is a high cacao type that felt a little chalky. Think ghiradelli v a buttery Belgium. Nothing was marked to describe the truffles. I had to ask what was what. No prices were there either. The brownies were $7 each, truffles $6. The truffles were described as "huge".
