This location is across the street from my gym so it's pretty convenient. It's clean, service was pretty quick and staff friendly. There are a few tables inside but the indoor seating is pretty limited. Definitely more outdoor seating. Ordered an almond croissant to go with my hazelnut cream coffee.. delicious

Not very good
Faye L.

I was sad to see the previous coffee establishment leave and was curious to finally trying BBC in PQ . Friend wanted to meet here over Starbucks . The interior now looks completely modern and new ! There's a few tables and most were taken with customer on computers or on phones. Friend comes here quite often and said the turn over is quite high. So the drinks are a hit or miss depending on who makes it. Ordering with the barista was easy and he made suggestions on the pastries (not made in house and some were wrapped in plastic wrap). The drinks came out quickly. The woman who made them seemed to be in a hurry. My cold brew was watery and just had too much ice. Starbucks makes a much better, darker and stronger version that fits the higher price tag IMO. Friend didn't like her lavender milk tea but didn't want to ask the barista to re make so she asked the cashier for help. He was super kind and understanding and re made her drink. The pastries were meh. They warmed up the cheese pastry which made it better. But the blondie protein bar (?) was dry and not very good. There's a self serve water station which was nice. The tables are right next to one another so there's not much privacy if you're on the phone or talking to people. Maybe I'd return to try another drink if i was in the area.

Banana Pudding Best Drink Ever
Brighid J.

I go here all the time and there's always great service but today was exceptional with Noah's help, he was very informative regarding the two choices I was torn between (horchata and banana pudding) and helped me find a new favorite. (Half of it was gone by the time I got home, thanks Noah!)

Pumpkin spice chai

Very good to be here to have my pumpkin spice chai yummy Love this place love the manager

We really love this coffee! Such amazing coffee and service!! The cashier at the front always gives you full attention when you go to order and is so knowleadable! I always get the vanilla latte so I asked how the hazelnut divinity is and they said it's really good. I tried that this time and it was delicious!! I asked for half sweet!

This menu is bananas--and we're not pudding around. The Banana Pudding Best Drink Ever is creamy, dreamy, and proof that dessert does belong in a cup. Coconut Sugar Protein Latte bringing sweet balance and smooth espresso--because we like our buzz with benefits. Chocolate Protein Açaí Bowl serving rich, spoon-licking goodness that's cocoa-nutty good and totally guilt-free. @betterbuzz said seasonal glow-ups only--sip smarter, spoon happier, and stay buzzed in the best way

Just need to work out the kinks with the app
Arnel D.

It's been a few weeks now and their staff has worked out the kinks. Very well run store that has all the food and drink you expect from Better Buzz. The crew is friendly and hard working. A very relaxed spot that's in a good area. My son loves their acai bowls, so I make it a point to satisfy his cravings and also grab a iced Horchata for my pick me up. Be back soon.

This place was buzzing for the day after Thanksgiving! Lots of friends, families, and mid size groups. There's a drive thru, order ahead, and order inside options. Despite the crowd, the staff was swift in helping each person and attentive with updates when partial orders were ready. Beautiful decor inside as well as indoor and outdoor seating. Can't wait for a cafe Friday. Our group enjoyed a mocha frappe, breakfast sandwich and smoothie. Hit the spot. Will be back

Love new drinks - Honey Lavender Matcha and Coffee Latte. Asked for a hot version, don't like cold drinks in the morning, when it's chilly outside; and received hot honey lavender latte in my personal cup with cute purple pinkish sprinkles on top. Thank you guys!

Hot latte
Jenny L.

The space is a little small so be mindful of you are aiming to come to work/study. There are outlets so that is a plus. The store is a little loud due to the confined space but this is a great location for anyone stopping by for a drive thru coffee. The latte itself wasn't bad, the smell definitely made it sweet.

Since I was online, I figured I'd avoid temptation at the bakery and also ordered a banana bread, garlic sourdough loaf, pate and oatmeal raisin cookie. Website and Yelp aren't currently showing the correct hours because they're still working back into having dinners. Both sites showed closed at 2, so gave them a call. Yes, they're open. Nice quiet parking lot with lots of parking. Customer service was very friendly and my bags were ready to go. The beef was nice and hot along with the pasta. On my long drive home (to Valley Center), couldn't resist and tried the oatmeal cookie first. It was delicious - probably best cookie i've had ever. Flavorful, nice and moist. The garlic sourdough loaf was made with roasted garlic. Some of the best bread I've ever tasted. That with the chicken liver, pork & pistachio pate (when I got home) was truly delicious. On to the main course. The pasta was nice and al dente. Roasted vegs were yummy and the garlic sauce was delicious. The beef was nice and tender and well seasoned. Generous portions of both - enough for leftovers. Definitely keeping an eye on this place - It's a splurge every now and then, but life is short. Sorry for no photos, hunger took over. :)

I was looking for a new cafe to try on a Saturday morning and found this place on Yelp. I stopped…read moreby around noon, and it wasn't too busy. There were so many sandwiches, cheesecakes, and bakery items to choose from that I had a hard time deciding. The staff was so kind and recommended some items. My favorite was definitely the greenhouse sandwich. The vegetables were incredibly fresh, and the bagel was warmed just right. I also tried a few bakery items. The double matcha canelé had a great texture with a crisp exterior and soft interior, but my absolute favorite was the double early grey financier. The earl grey flavor really stood out and made it the winner for me. I also tried the yuzu cheesecake, but honestly, it didn't taste too different from the lime cheesecakes I've had elsewhere. The cafe has plenty of tables and chairs, making it a comfortable spot to sit and enjoy your time chatting with a friend or working/studying. Overall, this place literally made my Saturday morning perfect, and I would definitely come back as a regular on weekends.

It was a little soggy and kinda overkilled with too much dill and pepper. But, I will say that I still craved it the next day. They need a big fat sign saying they stop serving food at 2 pm because I did come the next week with some friends and they had all the food in the display still but told us they stopped serving food. That was enough for us to take our business elsewhere and not even bother with the drinks. They have an okay amount of seating but really only one big table in the back for people that are studying/working. More of a place to come socialize with friends for a bit than a study spot which is okay too.

My first burger wad the Tony Gwynn, but my most favorite item from here are the fries. My latest fav is the Ultimate BLT. The B should be capitalized and larger than the L and T because the 10 pieces of bacon are so crispy and delicious. They showered down onto the wrapper with every bite I took. It was so messy, but so right. My husband couldn't resist and asked for a few bites, and now he will be ordering his own the next time he goes back to buy me fries and sandwich of choice. Husband said the last time he went there, there was only 1 guy there doing everything on his own. No complaints when he had 6 burgers to cook and he had to make bacon for me and fire up the deep fryer. He was making food, packing food, taking orders, serving food, and cleaning up like a boss.

She glanced my way a few times but never greeted or acknowledged me. Several minutes later she finally asked if I was ready. I proceeded to order my sandwich, paid, and waited by the bar. Food: I sat down just outside and opened my bag. Inside was a soggy sandwich that I couldn't even hold. I went back inside to grab napkins to wrap around my wet, dripping sandwich. It tasted bland and bitter. Was it straight vinegar? I've never eaten at this place before and I surely will never go back. The toppings were minimal. And to think I passed up a perfectly good JM's right next door! That was a mistake. Deli Stop should just stop. Period. Junk! JM next door gave me a healthy sandwich today for $2 less. Talking about price, I should mention that the cash register showed $13.97 but the last charged me an even $14. A rip off for a disgusting sandwich.

I dropped my kid off at the baseball field (pregame) and decided to check Yelp because I had a…read moreserious hankering for a sando. 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.

All prices listed on the menu are cash prices. This was a little annoying since I didn't see it…read moreexplained anywhere. Menu is extensive and food is made to order which can take some time...so grab a scratcher, candy or drink from the attached liquor store. Both sandwiches were good. I think the California club was better than the Italian, which is rare for me. Both made with fresh ingredients and both very large subs. Plenty of parking, too. Overall really 4.5 stars but lowered to 4 due to the pricing issue.
