    Right off Poway Rd.

    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.

    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.

    Best Drink Ever

    Best Drink Ever. Best Coffee Ever. Best Service Ever. Bree out there with the drive thru headset on while she's inside cleaning tables. Like what!? That's multitasking. I don't own a business but if I did she would be hired! Thanks again for another

    Matcha buzz yuckkk nasty

    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.

    I like their Matcha drinks. Taste better than SB. I try to order variety of drinks every week.

    A "no foam latte" with a good 1/2" of foam.

    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?

    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)

    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.

    $8.49 for a blended drink filled with ice chunks ..and they ask for a tip.

    The wait in the drive thru is always ridiculous! Never any sense of urgency either. I also hate that I can't pay through the app and am always asked to tip on my almost $8 coffee. Sometimes their açaí smoothie is really chunky. Do I prefer some of their items over SBs, yes. However I will stick with the SBs down the road for above mentioned reasons!

    Nasty mostly cream mint infused.

This place popped up at #1, and honestly that was enough for me. I didn't even read the reviews. When I pulled up, I almost drove right past it because it's tucked inside a liquor store. But hidden gems are usually called hidden for a reason. I walked in and asked what their most popular sandwich was. The guy recommended the California Club, which happens to be one of my go to sandwiches anywhere, so I told him to make that and add pickles because let's be honest, you gotta have pickles. Now I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, the guy making the sandwich took a sweet time. I mean almost a solid almost 10 minutes, and at one point I caught myself thinking, "This thing better be incredible." Well... it was incredible. Absolutely worth the wait. Fresh bread, stacked, flavorful, tactical, and one of those sandwiches where after the first bite you immediately stop caring how long it took. In fact, after the baseball game I went back a second time and grabbed a Cobb salad for my wife. Of course I had a few bites as a delivery tax. That thing was tremendous too. When I picture a really good Cobb salad, this is exactly what I want. Packed with egg, bacon, avocado, and just the right amount of blue cheese. Not skimpy at all. The salad also took longer than expected, but honestly I'd much rather wait a few extra minutes for food that's made right instead of rushed garbage. Well done. Easy five stars.

    Used to be great, then staff changed, they got busy and the sandwich maker got slow. Still good…read morepricing needs a better bread selection. Get your liquor int he same suite.
