    Coconut Best Drink Ever
    Lien S.

    5.2.26 - I made a stop here on my way to Arizona Mills. I've been to this location before and tried their coconut drink before last year and their rose drink back in February. Also had their banana drink at the Gilbert location. I remember when I first had the coconut best drink in the past, it was really good and you could taste the delicious coconut flavor. This time, it didn't have a lot of coconut flavor in it. It was pretty light so that was disappointing. That was the same issue with the banana at the other location. Drive thru line wasn't too bad though and they were friendly. Hopefully the flavor will be strong like the first time if I ever go back.

    Best Drink Ever Banana Pudding
    Emma N.

    I love Better Buzz, and I'm so glad they are expanding all over the valley! I really love the special banana pudding drink they've had recently, and decided to get it again! When I arrived around 9am on a week day, there was no line and I was able to place my order quickly! They also have an app that can be used for ordering online and picking up in store. The dining room was clean and stocked, I love the fun colors and lights they use for decoration. There were grab and go drinks for purchase as well as personalized merchandise. My drink was delicious! The wafer on top was the perfect extra touch. I can't wait to come back and try something else!

    Banana Pudding Best Drink Ever
    Candii B.

    I visited this Better Buzz location when it first opened back in late 2024 and it was a little underwhelming then so I had not been back. It also is not in the general area I frequent so that was another reason. A friend of mine was raving to me about their new Best Drink Ever - Banana Pudding flavor which I of course had to see about myself. Banana Pudding is often one of those flavors that is hard to replicate without tasting too artificial or just like banana cream pie but this drink exceeded my expectations! I mean, I could've eaten that cold foam by itself . I also ordered a Crumbonne. The baristas inside were ok, the store itself was very clean and efficient also. They can expect me back to get a few more of these before they slide on into the next seasonal drink.

    Finally got to try better buzz and it's a few minutes from where I live. Cute and modern place I ordered the coconut best drink ever and it was delicious ! Super smooth and not too sweet. I usually don't like my drinks too sweet. I usually go to Starbucks but I may be coming here more!

    Large Iced Mocha..half consumed by yours truly
    Jennifer T.

    Tried this new coffee shop on my way to work.. looks like very cute modern coffee shop. 2 lane drive thru for fast service to get in and out with coffee. Super fast service but then again it was like 955a so who knows if the service isn't so fast at rush hours for coffee demand like.. My large iced mocha drink with double shots was almost a whopping $9.... the large is like a medium size in my opinion if compared to venti Starbucks size . Coffee was good but nothing so good that I'd spend $8 and some change for. Definitely recommend this place consider offering daily deals..loyalty program/punch cards to gift discounts to customer base .

    Super quick, I tried the "go bananas" which was pretty delectable. I def recommend the ham and cheese croissant.

    Mint infused iced coffee
    Helene B.

    I really like this coffee shop! It is beautifully decorated with a decent amount of seating. The menu is unique with some interesting seasonal options. I purchased the mint infused iced coffee and my friend ordered the hazelnut divinity (iced). Both drinks were delicious. The barista even offered to make me a new drink if I did not like the mint infused iced coffee (since you cannot sample). I highly recommend downloading their app to get rewards points and look out for coupons!

    Had the coffee before and it was too sweet, tried the better breakfast sandwich, sadly the heated it up too much so the bun was tough and chewy , probably won't try again

    OG Deluxe Acai Bowl
    Gena D.

    Better Buzz Coffee has officially earned a permanent spot in my early morning rotation. It opens at 5 AM -- which is a blessing because I get off work at 5:30, and options that early are slim to none. Walking in, the vibes are cute and it's super clean. Now let's talk about the stars of the show: The zucchini loaf! CHEF'S. KISS. Moist, flavorful, and easily the best thing on the menu. The caramel vanilla latte! 10/10. Smooth, sweet and the perfect caffeine hug after a long shift. Now the acai bowls deserve a shout-out too. I've tried the OG Deluxe and the Blue Crush -- both solid 4 out of 5 stars. Fresh, filling, and beautifully topped. And listen: they actually give you a full bowl. It's not one of those rip-off places charging $13 for a teacup-sized portion. You get your money's worth and then some.Worth every penny! Now... let's talk croissants. The almond one...Dry. Like... Sahara desert dry. The pistachio croissant had no real flavor. It's the only part of the menu that seriously missed the mark. Skip those and stick to the stars of the show. ‍ Customer service! Usually top tier. The staff is friendly, fast, and welcoming. I've only had one "meh" encounter, but 99% of the time, they're on point. One time they gave me a banana loaf instead of my usual zucchini! I drove back around told the barista, and without hesitation she said, "Oop, I was playing Russian roulette this morning , the loads were t labeled -- here you go!" and handed me the right loaf, no charge, no attitude. That's how you fix a mix-up. All in all, Better Buzz is buzzing for a reason. Just don't go in croissant-first.

    We went through the drive thru and they were very happy, energetic and pleasant. We went in the early afternoon around 1pm. Order their iced chai latte with oat milk! Drink is creamy and rich in flavor. Definitely recommend

    I love them so much.
    Priscilla C.

    Have I ever been here? No. Have I found them on Uber Eats and will single handedly keep a membership with them just for this place? YES THIS PLACE SPARKS JOY FOR ME. Everything I've ever ordered was so delicious that I look forward to payday just so I can treat myself from peasant to royal. The delivery is always lightning fast. The coffee are delicious. No seriously, it's like a curated elixir from the Gods. The açaí bowl makes me feel like I'm in the rainforests of Brazil and that the extra honey I've ordered has been personally dropped off by Better Buzz bees. The ham egg and cheese buttery croissant are what Saturday morning cartoons in the 90s felt like. Except during that time I was just eating lucky charms marshmallows and milk. Same euphoric feeling minus the diabetes. The breakfast wrap with the side of aioli has you thinking about death row food. No I won't commit a crime, but if you know anyone on death row... One- I'm so sorry Two- tell them about this place for last meal? The blue drink, sub it for sugar free redbull and watch the tasks and cleaning and laundry somehow become complete! The chocolate chip scone, what sorcery is this? And y'all added some extra chips to the top, so when I slightly air fry it it melts and drizzles down!? *cries* baker maker of dreams I hope you find $100 on the floor every time you look down. To the owners, managers, everyone at this fine establishment. I hope your towels are always toasty post showers, I hope your coffee is always the perfect temperature whether hot or cold is your preference, I hope your sodas are never flat, I hope your electricity bill in the summer is low by some fluke in the universe, I hope your days are as wonderful and happy as mine are when I get a delivery from Better Buzz Coffee. Respectfully, This gal who really loves breakfast.

    The black things are flies... @BetterBuzzCoffee

    I went this morning through the drive thru to get my green tea iced. I got to my job and realized there were two flies on the bottom of my cup.. At first I thought I was tripping but they totally were. I tried to call them to see if they could refund me, they sent my call to voicemail. I won't be going back. That's terrible.

    Bri M.

    It was my first time at this location and it's smaller but cutie! I've only been to Better Buzz a handful of times, typically back in San Diego and over ten years ago! Emily was so so sweet and helpful. She took my likes and tastes into consideration as well as the different flavors I tend to like and she insisted I try the Snickerdoodley drink. To my surprise it was actually sooo good!!! Overall, great location, all the staff is super nice, extra shout out again to Emily! There is also ample room on the patio and now that the weather is getting nice, it'll be great for coffee dates and Saturday mornings with our pup!

I've had Italian Beef before. I've loved Italian Beef before. But nothing--NOTHING--prepared me for the transcendent, jaw-dropping, flavor-explosion experience that is ordering the Big Beef DIPPED at this Chandler location. If you haven't done it yet, you haven't lived. And if you've had it elsewhere but haven't had it here with their cheese sauce... well, buckle up, because you're about to discover your new favorite thing on the entire planet. From the second you walk into Portillo's on Ray Road, you can smell the magic--crisp sport peppers, rich au jus, and that unmistakable aroma of slow-roasted beef that makes your stomach growl instantly. But the real moment of truth comes when you look that server in the eye and say: "I'll take the Big Beef, DIPPED, LOADED with cheese sauce. And I mean loaded." Watch their face light up--they know. They understand. This is not just a sandwich; it's a ritual, and this location performs it with reverence. Then it arrives. Oh. My. Goodness. The bread is drenched--and I mean perfectly, gloriously drenched--in that deep, savory au jus, so every inch is saturated with rich, beefy flavor. It's not soggy; it's luscious. It's a sponge for joy. And then... the cheese sauce. Sweet, spicy, velvety, liquid gold--it's like someone took pepper jack, dreams, and a touch of heaven and whipped it into a creamy, molten ribbon that cascades over every millimeter of that dipped bread and tender, shreddy beef. The first bite is not just a meal--it's a religious experience. The crunch of the giardiniera, the pop of a sport pepper, the warm, juicy beef, the cheese sauce pulling in golden strands... it's an OMG moment so intense you might actually forget your own name for a second. You'll hear yourself making sounds you didn't know you could make. You might cry a little (happy tears). You might order a second one before you've even finished the first. And here's the thing--the Chandler location executes this with flawless, almost artistic precision. The line moves fast, the staff is smiling, and they don't skimp. They don't hold back on the beef, they don't drizzle the cheese sauce like it's an afterthought--they PILE IT ON with pride. You can tell this team lives for these moments. They're not just serving food; they're delivering pure, unadulterated happiness. Even the atmosphere feels electric--like everyone in the room knows they're about to have their day made. You'll see strangers nodding at each other in mutual respect over their sandwiches. You'll hear "OMG!" echoed across the dining room (seriously). And when you finish that Big Beef Dipped--cheese sauce glistening on every corner, not a drop of au jus left--you'll sit back with a food coma smile so wide it hurts, already plotting your next visit. Bottom line: If you are within 50 miles of 7200 W Ray Rd, you have no excuse. Go. Right now. Order the Big Beef DIPPED with EXTRA cheese sauce. Thank me later. And maybe bring a napkin--because that cheese sauce is so good, you're going to want to lick every last drop off your fingers. Five stars? Try FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS PLUS A STANDING OVATION! This is the best sandwich I've ever had in my life, and I'm pretty sure it's illegal to be this good.

In fact, I'm pleasantly surprised by their growing menu and their willingness to better themselves by listening to Yelp feedback.

In the best way possible, service hasn't changed - it's still the same friendly owner greeting you with a smile and overall cheerful attitude. You can tell that they are actively growing as a restaurant and I can't help but want to cheer them on! Today, I had their banh mi pho with a side of Chinese donuts to dip into the pho broth.

I really wanted to like this spot, especially as a fan of a well-balanced bánh mì. The sandwich was generous and good value, loaded with meat, but the execution didn't quite come together. The vegetables were tucked toward the back of the bun, making it hard to enjoy that classic balance in each bite. The mayo was far too heavy and the meat leaned overly sweet, which threw off the overall flavor. It also could have used more jalapeños and cilantro to bring some freshness and contrast. The bread was crispy, which was nice, but it was much larger in size and shape than a traditional baguette, leaning more toward a big roll than that light, airy texture you'd expect. Overall, good value but missed the mark on balance and authenticity for me. Saluti.

It was appreciated and I will return again for lunch and pickleball (in the evenings) during the hot summer!
