Love this Better Buzz in PB West! The vibe is always chill and the drinks have been so good lately.Tried the new honey lavender matcha and it's super smooth and not too sweet. The honey lavender latte is honestly one of my favorites right now, sooo good. And the banana pudding drink?? It literally tastes like dessert, obsessed. Also got the chili jam croissant sandwich and it was fire. Perfect mix of sweet + spicy and super flaky.Shoutout to Ciara for taking care of me she was super friendly and quick. She even convinced me to try the matcha pistachio white chocolate chip cookie and I'm so glad she did... it was SO good.Definitely one of my go-to spots lately! read more

Missy is the BEST. She recommend an iced vanilla bean latte and it was the best thing I've ever had. She was so sweet and welcoming and even helped me sign up for the loyalty program. This location is the best! read more

It's Fri-yay, and I did not have any coffee to make at home, so I decided to stop by Better Buzz on the way to work. I also happened to have enough points for a free regular drink in my account, so that was certainly a bonus. The bright lights and cute signage of the shop beckoned to me, and I knew that I was at the right place. There was no line at the drive-thru when I arrived at about 7:40am. I ordered a Banana Pudding Best Drink Ever (with two shots) and a Chili Crunch Wrap. The cashier was quite a good salesperson, as she inquired, "Would you like to add a chocolate chip cookie to your order?" I had to laugh a little at that one, because as much as I would have loved to say, "Yes, I would like a chocolate chip cookie at 7:40 in the morning." It would be a very bad idea for my metabolism. So anyway. I drove around and my drink and wrap were ready and she requested that I pay $13 something dollars. I asked if that was the correct amount, and she said, that "it looks like tax on the wrap." I asked her to check again, and she realized that I was being charged for the shots which should have been free. So she adjusted the price to $10 something which was the price of the wrap and tax. She seemed a little huffy, but oh well. I added a tip and headed off to work... and I arrived on time! The Banana Best Drink is certainly tasty. It had the right amount of sweetness, and the banana and espresso complement each other well. I enjoyed this drink today, but due to the calorie content and sugar in it, I'd only have one of these as a once-in-a-while treat. My wrap was good as usual. I would appreciate more chili crunch flavor in it, but overall, it was a tasty, and not too unhealthy way to start the morning. I think Better Buzz is a great coffee spot option in our area, and their rewards program is excellent. Thanks, Better Buzz! read more

I was recommended this better buzz location because of how well the service and food are compared to other locations. Let me start off with how friendly the baristas are! Ciara gave such positive energy throughout my whole check out. She recommended the new special of the cinnamon pistachio and I HIGHLY recommend. Another item on the menu she recommended was this spicy jam with sausage on a croissant bread. And OH MY GOODNESS. Props to the girl in the back who made that, I believe her name is Vale? Amazing job not just from the baristas and whoever made the food but overall the ambiance in this location is top tier. I highly recommend the new specials and this location. Overall friendly and will be coming back read more

OKAY! this location by far is so beautiful, love the vibe by the beach, great service, and amazing staff. Josh kills it with kind welcoming to his guests and overall experience. this location rocks! read more

A must try if you are in the area. I would suggest you ask for half sweet, otherwise might feel like a dessert drink. read more

I adore Better Buzz. Their drinks are always good. I've also tried some of their food. The avocado toast is delicious! Their staff is always so helpful and friendly. Today I went through the drive through and ordered a matcha. My barista so nice and let me customize it by adding banana foam. Then when I picked up my order at the window she gave me a free cookie. She was just the absolute sweetest! This location is also a perfect hangout spot. It has nice outdoor seating to people watch all the good looking people walking in PB. Highly recommend it! read more

Worker has a attitude, didn't let me use the restroom after I placed a order because she already moped the restroom

I remember when Better Buzz felt like a small local favorite and now it feels like a corporate, big box - behemoth. The push to upsell food items is almost laughable. The initial greeting is something like "hey, what food items can we start you out with today?" This is presumptuous and annoying and presume that I don't know my own mind. Then, I state my order, ticking all of the boxes for effeciency. "I would like a regular hot latte with regular milk and no extra shots." That should be the end, but I am still prompted to buy a cookie or a pastry or an açai bowl. Today, I finally asked to speak to a manager, who told me that their supervisors will stand around the corner to ensure that employees are pushing these items and they're reprimanded if not. She said that the employees hate it and the customers complain, but there's nothing that she can do if they want to keep their jobs. We live in a world where advertisers are hitting us online, in stores, outside stores and the push to sell more shit is omnipresent. I am voting with my dollars and I will not be back to Better Buzz. I will go to independent coffee houses in the area - even Starbucks. At least when I give my order to the barista's at Starbucks they listen. Dear Better Buzz, do better. read more

What a fun spot! The outside swings were quite the vibe. I did not grab any snacks but their coffee menu is solid. The employee that took my order was really helpful with answering my questions; I got the snickerdoodle latte decaf with oat milk. It was recommended to me to get it half sweet (which you can adjust sweetness on all beverages) and I'm glad I did, because the sweetness level was perfect. There are lots of tables, chairs, barstools to work or study from but me and my pup enjoyed our sweet treats on the patio swings. read more

I've been hitting up Better Buzz in Pacific Beach for a while now and it never disappoints. The coffee is always on point--whether you're grabbing something quick or sitting down to hang out, it's consistently good every time. Their drinks are creative without being over the top, and you can tell they actually care about quality. The vibe is one of the best parts. It's clean, upbeat, and has that perfect PB energy. Whether you're meeting someone, getting a little work done, or just starting your day, it's a great spot to be. Staff is always friendly and moves fast, even when it's busy, which is huge for a place this popular. You don't feel rushed, but you're not stuck waiting forever either. Overall, easily one of the best coffee spots in Pacific Beach. Definitely a go-to if you're in the area. read more

Nice coffee shop great idea but not real helpful to walk in customers. We had to wait awhile to be waited on by the staff. Got our drinks and they seem somewhat empty open the lid and observed they did not fill the cup as the photo shows . Paid for the large drink but was served the regular size in a larger cup. Asked to have drink extra hot it didn't happen. I would not visit this store again. I was really disappointed as we were told this was a great coffee shop. read more

What can I say about this place, only that this place has totally made my day. I was on a walk with my sister. Do you want to grab a little cup of coffee? It was almost 9 PM when they're about to close I walked in and the team not on only serve me, but welcome me with open arms. I know what it feels to have those last customers walking into a store right when you're closing up and being those people you look at with a dirty face. But Keanu and the other individuals there on the team, sorry I didn't get your girls names. We're absolutely amazing. They changed my whole perception on what service really is. Thank you again read more

I had such a great experience at this location today! My DoorDasher accidentally forgot to pick up half of my order, and the manager went above and beyond to help me out. They were so kind, patient, and genuinely cared about fixing the situation. They even offered to remake my drinks so everything would be fresh when the driver came back. It's rare to see that level of customer care these days, and I really appreciated how understanding and proactive they were. Great service, great people, and of course--great coffee! read more

Came here on a weekday morning to get a buzz so I could type faster as I worked. I tried the new drink -- lavender chagaccino, which is available only in select locations for now. I loved it! The subtle lavender aroma was comforting and I felt like my focus was sharper after drinking the chagaccino. I liked that there were plenty of outlets to keep my electronics charged and the place wasn't too loud either. There's a unisex restroom at the back. read more

It was made perfectly and tasted exactly how I like it. She made sure everything was just right and paid attention to all the details I asked for. You wouldn't even be able to tell she's new .she is super kind, professional & such a good vibe as-well. Overall, such a good experience like always. I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Acai Bowl- OG - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Highlight: Almond Butter & Jam Toast sub sourdough and Cucumber Mate Lemonade The toast tasted like a P&J sandwich, but with almond butter so the nutty consistency texture is about the same. I'm not sure what bread it normally comes with because they ran out but I liked the sourdough it got substituted with. The drink tasted a little bit more refreshing than cucumber water with the added lemon. Overall not very sweet. Hospitality: Ordered from the drive-thru and didn't get a chance to check out the interior but service was fast. The order attendant was pretty patient with us as we had to take some additional time changing our order due to items being out of stock. Honorable Mention: Came after the lunch rush so a lot of the food options were out of stock. I would recommend going earlier in the day. read more
