I had an amazing experience here! The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was excellent, and everything was on point. A special shoutout to my baristas, Lindsey and Lally, for providing such outstanding customer service! They were friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience even better. It's always great to be greeted by people who genuinely care about their customers and take pride in what they do. Great service, great vibes, and great coffee -- what more could you ask for? If you're looking for a spot with delicious drinks and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend stopping by. Lindsey and Lally are a huge credit to the team, and I'll definitely be back! read more

Better buzz coffee is my favorite!! I had came here to study for a chill vibe. Malia had recommended me an iced horchata latte with cinnamon sweet foam on top. Within the minute of payment, Jonny has my drink ready for me. read more

Dear Better Buzz Team, I always have an amazing experience at Better Buzz, and the staff always greet me by name when I come in. Today, I went through the drive-thru and was helped by a gentleman named Josue--and let me tell you, he is officially my savior of the drive-thru! While I was ordering with him, there was a spider coming down from my window, clearly trying to attack me. For the record, I am TERRIFIED of all bugs, so naturally, I was about two seconds away from abandoning my vehicle. I was attempting to transfer myself over to the passenger seat--with my car still in drive, mind you--when Josue immediately acted fast, safely removed the spider, and quite literally saved my life... AND the spider's life! I just wanted to make sure your team knew how amazing Josue was today. He went above and beyond, and honestly deserves some recognition for his heroic actions. Among all the other amazing staff, he definitely deserves a $50 gas gift card or lunch on the company! Please give Josue a huge thank-you from me. I truly appreciated his quick thinking and willingness to rescue me from the eight-legged menace. Sincerely, Diamond read more

Haven't done a review in a long time! Must say, the service here is next level and we went through the drive through! Isa greeted us with an upbeat personality and gave us recommendations that were spot on. In a sea of mediocre customer service it was a breath of fresh air to have had Isa on the other end of that intercom. Thanks Isa and thanks Better Buzz for hiring people with great personality and a high regard for customer service! All this and it was genuine you can just tell that's how she is. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Joshua and Lindsey are the coolest ! Great staff we go there everyday for our cold brew better buzz

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. read more

Discovered this coffee shop on a recent trip to SD and I was instantly hooked! Location is kinda weird and hard to find parking, so we did drive thru and luckily it wasn't too long of a wait. Got the caramel vanilla latte with oat milk and it was perfection. Soo so good! I was craving it again so we came back again before leaving SoCal. I was kinda sad to leave sd and not be able to have this delicious coffee anymore. (The following week I was in Vegas and was so happy when I found out they had locations there, too!) Definitely gonna be my go to coffee spot when I'm in SD! read more

Had the (best) best drink ever and a very delicious better breakfast. Was a long line but service was very quick.

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 read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Yummy Holiday Drink! Look at that cold foam cap!!!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

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. read more

Good experience Brodie, Kaleb and Johnny were nice. Always come gere for a iced banana matcha

Stopped by this morning with some friends on a coffee date. Inside was clean, line went fast and our drinks were perfect! The bubbly gal who helped us (Marley) had great recommendations. Everyone seemed happy to be behind the counter and doing their coffee making shuffle so seamlessly. My drink was exactly what I needed, our whole party enjoyed everything that was ordered. read more

I've never been a coffee drinker but Better Buzz actually got me hooked on coffee during COVID. The service can be eh. I guess it just depends who you interact with. Nowadays everything is so rushed and they cut you off before you're finished talking. When it wasn't as popular I asked about what would they recommend and they recommended their basic Best Drink Ever. I loved the sweetness. I also get the Mocha Buzz Blended coffee. I wouldn't say it's the best coffee in the world but if I want a little sweet treat I'll come here. Parking does suck although there is a neighborhood near by so you can find parking. The drive though even worse just because people tend to block peoples driveways. read more

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. read more

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. !! read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Banana pudding best drink ever , Acai Bowl- OG - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Preserving on line was super easy and was ready at the time that was stated. Got the Americano+Vanilla and had a good coffee taste to it (sometimes the Vanilla can overwhelm the coffee) my Husband had the mint infused coffee-he said it was good but almost too sweet. Maple pecan Danish-good, liked the everything cream cheese, a bit of a surprise because it was savory (thought it was something else-like a cheese Danish)-but good. better Breakfast sandwich-just ok-the pretzel part of the bread was super hard and seemed microwaved which was a big factor in the texture-so meh. The Avo toast with feta was good. I just have to add that there are better coffee places in the area. But overall it wasn't bad-ambiance was nice and service was great. read more

Went through the drive thru super excited to start the morning with this place. Ordered 2 hazelnut divinity with oat milk, soon as she handed the drink I asked if it was oat and lady confirmed saying yes, the ticket even said oatmilk so I trusted it was all good. Got home and it was whole milk. Ugh :( wasn't $15 bucks read more

The pumpkin best drink was delicious. I always order everything 1/2 sweet because all the drinks are on the sweeter side

Shoutout to Better Buzz in Pt. Loma. Kaiden and team were generous, efficient and super stars with their customer service. I brought some clients in from Argentina and they wanted a Cortado, Mocha and Espresso. They loved Better Buzz, the staff and even enjoyed their Pistachio Croissant. Thank you to everyone @ Team BB...from Gus The Bus read more

Super mid-level, just not getting the hype behind this company 2nd time in this location, employees don't greet you, don't give you an ETA for service, you just stand there at the counter waiting for them to approach you when they have time. Transaction complete, hands me coffee, walks away, no closing greeting...nothing. I'll probably try it one more time to see if I'm being punked or if society has really fallen this far that a business can do so well with such horrible service. read more

This location is on a corner with a small drive-thru lane , street parking , outside patio and inside tables with a cool vibe and coffee. Staff welcoming and they do have breakfast items , baked goods and merchandise Their coffee is great! Other drink items on the menu , combos yummy! I had a breakfast sandwich it was hot and delicious that went perfectly well with my cold brew coffee. Thanks read more

Stopped by Better Buzz right before close and Johnny was awesome - super friendly and took great care of me. Great coffee, great location, and always a solid experience. Definitely one of my favorite coffee spots in the area. Highly recommend! read more

Broder was so nice and my acai bowl was incredible. Definitely coming back :) Looked super clean and had good music playing too

I had to try this new and growing chain of coffee stores at some point. When I saw a drive thru right in front of me at the traffic light, it became an easy decision. It turned out to be a good one. While the place is tiny, the line moves quickly and the staff is authentically friendly, not like the fake smiles at the other chain with the windmill. The menu item that immediately caught my eye was their Best Drink Ever. For a coffee aficionado like me, that term is a challenge. However, after the first zip, I was sold. Americano style with vanilla base. Not overly sweet, a balanced addictive flavor profile. They might really be on to something here. I will be back for another round. read more

Food is excellent and fresh! We added bacon to the turkey pesto sandwich, omg! Only one side of the sandwich was toasted but it was still crispy and good. The acai bowl was refreshing and delightful. I also had a vanilla latte, I recommend that too. Service was good, we were greeted immediately with smiles, the food took a few minutes. The ambiance is quiet, everyone is on their computers working. We sat outside to enjoy the nice weather. I want to compete back for the avocado toast. Great little coffee shop. read more

I got the Iced Horchata Latte. Service was pretty quick considering the long line of cars. I didn't go inside the shop so I am not sure about the ambiance inside. I was surprised that the horchata latte wasn't as sweet as I expected it to be. I liked it but I also could have used a little more flavor. But overall, I'd go back to this coffee shop. read more

Great staff, busy but fast. Fan of Staff, Avo toasts & pistachio croissants. Lattes great & like rewards programs

For the 5 days we were visiting San Diego, we got Better Buzz four times. Loved the Cinnamon Cream Cold Brew, Best Drink Ever, and OG Acai Bowl with almond butter. The regular sized hot Best Drink Ever is the same size as the Large Iced one. The Açaí bowl with the almond butter was delicious-- we got it 3 times. I tried the Hazelnut drink, but I didn't like it as much as the cinnamon cream cold crew and Best drink ever. The cinnamon cream cold brew was definitely my favorite. My boyfriend bought the vanilla cream powder they sell. He said it tastes so good when he adds it to his coffee. read more
