Walking into the building , I was greeted with warm smiles. The options of newer drinks both coffee and refreshers were mentioned. Definitely had made the interaction a lot more welcoming than my other experiences in other locations. Definitely will be coming back to this location , will be looking to try more seasonal drinks. read more

Gio always makes my mornings! I'm constantly on the go, and half the time I leave my brain at home , but he always remembers my order--a regular Cinnamon Cream Cold Brew with a large cup of ice. The customer service here is always amazing, and the entire team is so friendly and welcoming. Gio truly goes above and beyond and brings such a positive energy to Better Buzz. If he's not already a manager, he absolutely deserves to be! Thanks for making me a loyal customer for life! read more

Stopped by last Wednesday and honestly everything was so good. The avocado toast was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and actually filling, plus the smoothie was super refreshing. Natalie at the cashier was also really sweet and welcoming the whole time. You can tell when someone genuinely has good customer service and she definitely made the experience better. Will definitely be back read more

Stopped by to get some morning coffee. This is a local chain of coffee shops. Like a Starbucks but slightly better coffee. Here is the reasons for the low review. I pulled up to the drive through kiosk. I waited for someone to answer, still waiting.i finally started to pull up thinking the drive through wasn't open. As soon as I left, I could see the lady behind me pull up , I could here someone say can I take your order. So I pulled up again. Now there's a line. I finally get up to pick up my coffee. The girl hands me the first one,I grab it and it spills all over my hand. The lid wasn't on correct. Good thing the coffee was barely warm or it would have burned my hand. She hands me the second one. Same thing happens,lid not on tight. It spills in my truck. I looked and asked her for some napkins. She hands me some. No apologies or explanation. She just walked away. Worst customer service read more

Made my drink wrong for the 2nd time. Ordered ahead and my drink was wrong. Ordered a simple americano and somehow they messed that up. There should be NO milk at all. Americano is espresso & water. Disappointing. I've ordered many times ahead at Starbucks and my order is never messed up. I think I'll go back. Service is OK. Nothing spectacular. Inside is decent. Drive thru is convenient but I'm tired of my order getting wrong. read more

I've ordered here a handful of times through their app and so far, so good. Tried the Banana Pudding Best Drink Ever, Pistachio BDE, and Cookie & Cream BDE. It's ready when I show up, at least one employee always greets/thank me as I walk in to pick it up and each drink has been made correctly while giving me the caffeine boost I need. read more

Went in 14 Aug 2026 at 10:35 to grab a quick coffee. So this visit it only took me 15 minutes to get my order.

I love this new location in Poway. So well-designed, spacious, and clean. A huge upgrade from the old taco shops (Poway has enough taco shops to serve all of SD). My go-to drink (Coco Buzz) was extremely satisfying. My wife tried their new Banana Matcha, and she really enjoyed it. Our cashier and barista were friendly and prompt witn our order. Can't wait for my next Buzz! read more

AMAZING customer service at this new Better Buzz location in Poway! Manager Kadian and her fellow baristas were we welcoming and super friendly. I stopped in on a rainy Wednesday afternoon and had a problem with my online order. They immediately helped me out and even gave me a free sticker. The friendliness in resolving my issue and welcoming and positive vibe was so refreshing. I had had a rushed day where everything wasn't going quite right and they gave me all the positive energy I needed right then. Ok on to the food and coffee: I ordered the ham and cheese croissant which was perfectly flaky, warm, and melty. My iced Americano was prepared deliciously with regular espresso and vanilla cold foam. It was not too sweet and the perfect pick me up. Thank you, Kadian and team, for a great experience today. read more

The espresso is good, but the brand of oat milk they use is so thick that it's almost vicious. I'll probably try a new milk substitute if I ever visit again. read more

I've been to other locations, this one was slower than the others, I ordered a single drink, inside of the store, 12 mins..yeah I know I know, but it was not busy, barely a line outside, no line inside??? no one is smiling and it feels heavy here. You know that vibe was funky. Might just be the location? On a good note the coffee was nice, and as expected. read more

Everything was really delicious and Leah was really nice. The service was amazing too.

Great Job to the employees; food is good and the energy in the store makes me want to come back! Keep it up!

The coffee was hot and fresh, not pumped from a carafe, of course it should be at 8am. It was my first visit, used gift card from Costco, ordered médium coffee with milk. It was weak, the staff person made me a new cup with dark coffee and it was perfect. I also bought an orange chocolate chip scone. The ratio of orange and chocolate was just right. The inside of the store is light and airy. The only problem is drive-up line and parking criss-crossing each other. read more

Oh wow I was super excited to try better buzz at this location but it's really crappy. I asked cashier about matcha drinks and she had no idea and sounded annoyed. I asked for extra matcha powder because I like my matcha drink little matcha taste but I don't think they did. Look at the picture of my final product. The all services were poor and drink sucked/. Will not come back to this location. read more

Leah was great! She provided the best customer service, was very quick with my drink and even gave my dog a pup cup!

This Better Buzz location is amazing! Great service and great people. Leah is the nicest and did a wonderful job on our drinks.

Way better coffee than another popular chain that shall remain anonymous... Service is lighting fast at this location despite how insanely busy it gets. If you plan on coming by during lunch and want to drink your beverage inside, there's a huge chance that one of the very few spots they have will be taken. Park in the lot next to it but the sushi place and dollar tree and just walk over. You're welcome. Also, the drive through line often seeps into the Poway Road so another reason to just mobile order and run inside real quick. I'm not a coffee drinker and was thrilled to find all the tea options that my little heart could ever desire! Here are some of my faves: -Iced Matcha Tea Latte: their default is whole milk but if you prefer something else, they offer almond and oat milk for an additional charge. The coconut milk is not an additional charge thought...score! Delish with that option and has a touch of vanilla. -Iced Lavendar Tea Latte: this one is my favorite to date...does not taste heavily of lavender which I like. For the co-habby: -Best Drink Ever: an Americano with vanilla;] -Cold Brew Nitro: when he needs an added boost and superhuman abilities Highly recommend! read more

This is the closest Better Buzz location to me. They have a great food and snack menu. Service is consistent and they never messed up my order. I feel like the inside of this store isn't as nice as other locations but it is what it is. read more

My daughter and I wanted something a bit different and were sort of in the area so we decided to try out the new Better Buzz. We hit up the drive through which was convenient but getting out is not the easiest. Next time I think we will park in the main section of the parking lot (by Dollar Tree) and walk over and order inside. The drinks were really good, we got a coconut best drink ever and a horchata latte. Both iced and were super refreshing and flavorful. Better Buzz has a great variety of different food and snacks on their board so plenty to choose from and a lot more for us to come back nd try. The barista was super nice from the moment we pulled up to the time we got our beverages and took off. Great place, the location is just a bit hard to get in and out of (but there are ways around that) read more

I've been a long time fan of Better Buzz, and usually hit them up when I'm in San Diego. This location is in a more quiet part of SD, and has a knowledgeable staff that excels in their craft. All of their flavors are a hit, but I always need to have at least one Horchata Iced Latte with its delicious cinnamon sugar mixed in. The "Best Drink Ever" is a close second, and is one of the smoothest coffees I've ever had! You can go half on the sugar and it still keeps its flavor, too. Like other cafes, Better Buzz also makes for a great study or work area, and has a welcoming environment to get work done or plan events with friends. This location features the same welcoming environment. read more

Leah makes the best drinks!! Absolutely my favorite better buzz to go to! The iced mocha is hands down the best drink, the staff are so friendly and kind, and the vibes inside are so clean and friendly! read more

This location, especially when going through the drive-thru, has a really bad habit of providing less drink than what is ordered and paid for. I consistently get shortchanged by an inch on my drink, either through excessive foam or just not filling it up. Let's put this into perspective. On a 16 ounce coffee, an inch missing is probably 2-3 ounces, which equates to 13-19%. That means Better Buzz is getting an extra $0.61-0.89 per drink. Doesn't seem like much. Do this 1000x per day and that's $610-$890 extra each day, $223k-$325k each year. Maybe an inquiry needs to get filed with the County for mislabeling products? read more

Aloha folks! Back to Better Buzz I went when I found out they were offering a Peppermint White Mocha Buzz blended drink. The drink was creamy and sweet with a crushed peppermint topping. The perfect drink to ring in the holidays. I ordered online for pickup in store. When I arrived, my drink was waiting for me on the pickup shelf. Easy and fast. Great job Better Buzz! That's why you're my favorite coffee shop. read more

I have actually not tried the coffees here. I love their ham and manchego cheese croissant. The flakiness of the croissant rivals that of any overpriced French bakery. The ham and cheese are savory. The next time you come for a coffee, make sure to get a croissant as an accompaniment. You won't regret it. I would pass on the "Almond butter plus jam" (almond butter, seasonal jam, butter on thick-cut multigrain). It's almost entirely bread with not enough almond butter or jam. read more

I'm at better buzz right now. The service was great! Daysen and Tobias were so helpful. So efficient. They got my order right away. I got my iced horchata latte and pastries right away. The drink is so good! They made it just right. The pastries and gluten free cookies are so good. The place was crowded but there were a lot of seating. The parking is hard so just park in the main parking lot where there's dollar tree and etc. I would recommend this place! read more

I love Better Buzz coffee and ventured my way to the Poway location today and had the best experience! I was greeted by Tony who was so kind and welcoming that immediately made my day better! I ordered my usual which is the best drink ever (iced) and dare I say my barista Leah, made the best.. best drink ever I've had yet?! Overall 10/10 experience and service by 10/10 people! Would highly recommend this location for good vibes and great coffee read more

I came here for a drink before they closed for the day. I liked the vibes and the shop was new and clean. The barista was very friendly and patient. My drink had good coffee flavor but was too sweet for my taste though. I'd go back to try different drinks. read more
