    Iced salted maple matcha
    Stesha C.

    Got my birthday drink when I was back in town for Thanksgiving! Got the iced salted maple matcha and it was delicious, the maple cold foam was especially good! Super quick even on thanksgiving day and friendly staff!

    I stopped by around 2 PM on a Saturday. The café was fairly quiet -- only two tables were occupied, and a couple of customers were waiting for their orders. I ordered a simple Chai Latte and even brought my own stainless steel mug. While waiting, I noticed a small line forming at the cashier, but only one barista was making drinks. Most of the orders seemed to be going to the drive-thru, which left dine-in customers waiting longer. After about five minutes, I saw that someone who ordered after me (the third person behind me) got her drink first. Eventually, another barista from the drive-thru side came to help. When I politely asked about my order, she said it was next -- but by the time I got my drink, nearly ten minutes had passed. Unfortunately, the Chai Latte itself was disappointingly sweet. I had to add water to tone it down a bit. I usually enjoy Better Buzz for their atmosphere and consistency, but this visit missed the mark -- both in service flow and taste balance. Hoping this was just an off day, because I do love supporting local spots with good vibes and great coffee. Hey at least I got a free sticker!

    Super happy there is a better buzzed here. I believe I've only been to the SD location so it's really nice to see a location in the south OC. This place is super clean and is in a corner plaza next to Handels ice cream. I ordered the chili crisp breakfast wrap and it was super yummy. I love the hash brown that was layered inside. I would definitely order it again! However, it is pretty small. I just wanted a little breakfast fix when I came here. My wife ordered the cappuccino, which was solid. Service was a little slow but I can see it can be like that with a busy drive thru. The food came way before the coffee... would be nice if they both came together.

    Here at their grand opening!

    Always hit the spot, we love better buzz and their consistency of drinks. I always get their Best Drink Ever, even though there is a pumpkin Best Drink Ever, I still picked thr OG drink. Probably be my forever pick to drink when I need a little pick me up. Services is always amazing and fast and gotta collect those points and redeem those free drinks offers. I had like three in my account so hence why I stopped by today when I'm heading this way. It's was pretty empty in the lobby on a Tuesday morning, drive through was busy but inside I was the only one there. Keep in mind it's a Tuesday so everyone is probably at work or in school and then there is me lol. Clean tables and had to take a picture with my coffee near the wall, it's a must to do and wine no one is here, take as much food/ drink pictures as you can. Phone eat and drink first Lol

    Affordable healthy breakfast items like fruit bowls and sandwiches. Smoothies, flavored lemonades and of course coffees that are hot and cold. Quiet, inviting and opened early for you to start your slow morning. Great customer service that is personable and friendly. Clean.

    Seasonal coconut matcha
    Cat N.

    This cute shop offers creative caffeinated drinks and pastries. Upon entering is a very aseptically pleasing coffee shop. I love that there is a nice patio outside but also cute seating areas inside. The staff is kind and helpful. Their menu offers simple drinks as well as various types of specialty drinks such as their horchata and snickerdoodle latte. What makes them Butter Buzz special is you can add kickstarter energy shots to your drinks. Besides drinks they also have readily made pastries and savory food to order. When I came in i noticed they had plenty of yummy pastries including their nutella croissants. They also had a seasonal menu which I ordered off of. I got their coconut matcha and the person I came with got their "coconut best drink ever." Both our drinks turned out very light. Not very strongly caffeinated. They were both okay. I did try the "coconut best drink ever" and it had a coconut cold foam on top which was nice. But not very creamy. Overall I would come back to try their other drinks and maybe the food there. It's a great place to hang out at.

    Best drink ever
    Steph G.

    I really wanted to like this. I don't always go to Better Buzz. A few of the reasons is that I find everything on their menu expensive - whether it's their coffee, retail items or food items. With that I had a free drink in my app that I decided to wait till after the holidays to use. The day that I decided to use it, they were out of peppermint syrup so I couldn't get the peppermint candy cane best drink ever so I opted just to get the regular best drink ever and in a medium iced. I thought I was being punked when they handed me the drink. The medium look like a size small cup. And I think the regular price for it overall is over seven dollars so I'm glad I didn't pay for it because I would be even more upset. I know people like it. There's a good variety don't get me wrong but it's more of a treat for me to come here for either food or breakfast/sandwiches/food than it is to come every single day or support a local coffee shop. I always come through the drive-through lane. Sometimes there's a person out there. Today there was a person taking orders, but it just seemed like it was taking forever just to get through the line with two cars ahead of me and no one at the window. There's some indoor and outdoor seating. I drove away. The drink itself just tasted OK. It didn't have that rich creaminess that I've expected and tasted in the past. I would come back but again it wouldn't be on a regular basis. The order taker was very nice however

    Usually I wouldn't review a place negatively like this but I had to wait 15 MINUTES from when I placed my order to when I received it. Now, if they would've been slammed, that's one thing, but there was no one in front of me so I'm truly confused how it could take that long. I watched three other drinks get made and handed out before mine which was frustrating. Overall, I am generally a fan of better buzz but having to wait for 15 minutes to get a drink that was placed when things were slow just makes me wonder what wait times are like when they are busy?!?!?

    Nutella Croissant
    Maritza ..

    This is a regular pit stop on the way back from my hometown. It's usually the place we stop for our pastry and coffee for the rest of the road till we get to San Diego. I got a Nutella croissant and my mom got an everything croissant with cream cheeses both were aesthetic and good. My mom didn't really like hers but that was more with her preference. I love the Nutella croissant it was so pretty and it was flakey. My only complaint is that the waiting time for our drinks and pastry was a little bit long. We first got our drinks and then later our pastry. The coffee was strong and delicious how I like it. It's still one of my favorite places to stop and will continue to stop by.

    Perfect latte to get me through work.

    The pistachio croissant is so delicious! So glad I tried it. Always friendly employees.

    Decent coffee and mediocre service. There is a decent outdoor patio space. Not something that I'm exited to revisit.

    I thought it would be a fun treat to bring my daughter her favorite smoothie at Alohana Bowls, so I…read morebraved the parking lot, which is the size of a tiny NYC studio apartment, and went in. The line was about 10 people deep, so I decided to place the order online for my two smoothies and sit and wait. My order said it would be ready in 10 minutes, but I figured it may be a little longer given the line. So I sat down and watched about ten people order and get their bowls. After about 20 minutes I went up to the pick up counter and asked if I could check on my order. The young lady asked what I had ordered. I said smoothies and she said "I don't know I'm doing bowls", turned her back and started doing....well bowls I guess. After that super helpful interaction, I sat back down and waited some more. 30 minutes after I ordered I approached the counter again. The bowl person looked at me, walked away and started petting a dog in the shop. Her enthusiastically helpful nature is certainly something to be studied (that's sarcasm for those who missed it). Finally, an older gentleman approached and asked what I had ordered. A few minutes later I finally had my smoothies. Were they worth the 30+ minute wait and the parking lot game of Tetris? Not especially. Will I go back? Not likely. Had the Bowl Baroness been more helpful perhaps I would have left feeling differently.

    Alohana is a cute Acai bowl and coffee shop. We stopped by on a hot afternoon when we were craving…read moresomething cool. The staff was a little lukewarm but the bowl was cool and delicious. We played some games (Connect Four is always fun) at our table and enjoyed an Uppers Bowl and a Moonlight Bowl. The fruit in the bowls all tasted fresh. I will be back to have more.
