    Ham and Cheese Croissant
    Angela N.

    When I tell you I have been counting down the days to try better buzz.. my sisters has received daily updates since construction commenced. We went opening day.. or night depending on who you ask. We arrived at 3:45 am and the line was wrapped. Staff kept things very organized and energy high. We made it inside by 4:30am and were the last ones to receive the free hat giveaway. They had multiple people taking orders and a whole team behind the counters working to get through the growing line. We ordered: ham&cheese croissant, best drink ever, and the exclusive peanut butter cream. The wait was decent considering the line and the fact that it's their first day open. My croissant was sooo good that the $8 price tag doesn't sting too much. The peanut butter is subtle, we excepted more. The best drive ever - was good, but idk if it's the best I've ever had. Overall it was a very good first impression. Vibes were good, staff was very nice and welcoming from outside to inside and the place was decorated very well. I can't wait to go back!

    BUZZING & POPULAR! Better Buzz is definitely the coffee darling of 2026 in SoCal. Each time I visit, the coffee and treats get better and better. I HAD to visit BB Riverside as it was their grand opening. I needed to try their store-exclusive Peanut Butter Best Drink Ever! Pair it with oat milk, it's so good! Furthermore, I had a lemon poppyseed muffin and a can of Liquid Death to stay hydrated. I have two locations closer to me but this spot has a special kind of vibe. It's fun, inclusive, and the atmosphere felt like a celebration of sorts. The drive-thru was PACKED, the sun was shining, but so were the polite staff! Overall, there was great line management considering this is smack in the middle of the Day street shopping hub. I opted to order inside so I can check out the shop, merch, and general customer service so I can report to the Yelp Elite Squad. A+ across the board, some of the staff were brand new baristas, but I appreciated seeing them getting trained and supported! The team worked well, my order was out in less than 7 minutes and it was BUSY ya'll. Loved their dedication! One girl scanned the whole store and noticed my table was semi-dirty, she came over and asked if she could wipe my table down! She apologized without me saying a word. I was going to just leave it be since I knew the staff were busy but they did not miss a beat, that's fantastic! The shop has merch available to purchase such as beanies, hats, shirts, hoodies, coffee bags, and mugs. Additionally, the front has canned drinks like Liquid Death and other products. Overall, the inside of the shop is comfortable. A restroom is available, just ask for the keypad code before you enter. If you're looking to eat outside, there's an outdoor patio.

    There's an ordering line and an online order pickup on the right.

    First time here. I chose to come inside bc the drive thru was super long. That was a good move bc there was only 2 people ahead of me. Inside is very spacious and clean. The guy at the register was super nice and helpful as I ordered my drinks. The wait for the drinks was not long at all and they kept checking on my order. 10/10. Coffee is fire too

    Whats the buzz? New coffee shop? Yes please! I can appreciate a chain, but this one in the IE was pretty good. First timer, a lil out the way from me but always in that area, I'll keep it in mind when I'm over there. Service was good, little slow for being new, so busy was expected. I tried the banana matcha. It was pretty good. I also tried the peanut butter cookie ice coffee. Also good. Had the zucchini bread and breakfast sandwich all were good. The restaurant was a little loud but fun outgoing atmosphere. cute wall signs. Overall good experience.

    Stopped by the new Better Buzz in Riverside this morning and was beyond impressed! The café is spotless, with a beautiful, modern aesthetic that makes it such a welcoming place to relax or grab your morning coffee. Alfred's hospitality truly stood out--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming with a smile. The coffee was excellent, and the outstanding service made the entire experience even better. Definitely a wonderful way to start my morning. I'll absolutely be back!

    Love the concept and bee mascot for the business. Chili crisp wrap was good, but could be more spicy. It should come with a spicy dipping sauce. Moroccan spiced iced coffee was ok, needs to be more sweet. Friendly service and fast drive-thru. Clean and fun coffee shop experience. I'll be back to try their regular coffee drinks.

    Loved the iced snickerdoodle latte! This is such a cute place can't wait to try the food.

    Chili Jam croissant.
    Amanda E.

    The decor is so buzzing cute! I love the honeycomb features and all the bee accents. The food was delicious, I got the chili jam croissant (eggs, sausage, arugula, spicy honey jam). But the coffee wasn't great, my Vanilla Latte had a strong, bitter, burnt taste. I'll definitely be back to try something else, and please add some sugar-free options! These drinks are pretty high in calories, so they're a nice treat every now and then. I would recommend to call complete orders when ready so many people standing and waiting for each part of there orders. Overall, great location and the staff were all really pleasant.

    The service was amazing! This was my first time here and the store was busy but the environment was great. Both the drinks and food were good, will be coming again! :)

    I was invited to the sneak peak family and friends day & was VERY impressed by the service . Everyone was very friendly and helpful since it was my first time there I ordered the recommended items and really enjoyed everything ! I will be back often I'm sure (: Shout out to Gemma !

    Although business is thriving and there's a crowd we waited 5min. max! Ordered 2 drinks from the menu, and even ordered an extra. Speaking of the register employee (didn't get his name but has a Pokémon and corgi pin) service was 10/10...super helpful and efficient! We were planning on only 2 drinks but ended up getting a 3rd just cause of how he upsold it. Vibes and atmosphere 10/10.

I think this is really good considering how busy they were Location it's near Cinnabon and Chuze fitness, so it was on the opposite side of the mall from where we entered (Macys). DRINK ORDERED: Banana Pudding Matcha I'm only going to be rating the drink I personally had. RATING: 7/10; I never thought banana pudding and matcha would be a flavor combo I'd drink together, but it was overall decent. I wish they would have put a small layer of banana pudding at the bottom of the cup and then the layer at the top. I was only able to taste the banana pudding until I was almost done with my drink. It's not something I'd drink again personally, but it could be others cup of tea! My other two parties got a Coconut Matcha and Luna Latte and they both gave it a 10/10. So, maybe I just didn't get one of the better drinks on the menu. Overall, my aunt and grandma stated that they would definitely come here again. I personally wasn't the biggest fan of my drink, but that's just me

I was pleasantly surprised when driving by the area that there was a highly rated boba place I hadn't been to before. When I walked in, I was surprised by how busy it was. There was a line for the kiosk and after I ordered my drinks, the line was consistently to the door. There was a very wide selection of drinks to choose from and I appreciate them having unique flavors and twists to drink. I was contemplating between a matcha einspanner and the oksusu (corn) matcha latte. When I asked if there was a way to mix the two, Taylor was super friendly and helpful to explain how each drink was made and differed from one another and then took the time to give me options on how I could change up my drink. I ended up going with the oksusu matcha latte because the Korean in me loves corn drinks but Taylor had the barista add a rim of matcha syrup that you typically get in the einspanner. I loved the oksusu flavored foam with the little crunchy puffs. The matcha flavor was a little lighter than I typically like but still props for the unique take. My hubby got the Hokkaido milk tea. It was definitely a very sweet drink with a caramel like syrup in it which is different than how we've had Hokkaido milk tea at other boba places. If you aren't into super sweet drinks, I would recommend going lighter on the sweet level. You order through the two available kiosks here. I noticed there wasn't up to date menus on Yelp photos so I will upload the different drink options I saw through the kiosk!
