Large iced best drink ever
Caitlin C.

First time visiting an AZ location! Order a large best drink and spicy chilli jam croissant. Highly recommend! Drink looked a bit short. Bathrooms were clean and service was respectable. This location had cool merch too! Like the ASU x Better Buzz collab tee!

This Better Buzz Coffee is located in a great spot near Tempe Marketplace. It is a nice clean store with indoor and outdoor seating. I visited their first Arizona location when it first opened in Phoenix. There was a lot of hype around this San Diego coffee chain at that time. Now we have locations all over. Better Buzz Coffee serves a variety of handcrafted coffee and espresso drinks, teas, cold brews, smoothies, pastries and grilled sandwiches. Better Buzz uses the "buzz" part in their name to highlight the energizing jolt of its drinks. Better Buzz Tempe has a drive-thru or you can sit and enjoy your drink on the premises. They have a lot of merchandise like hats, shirts and mugs. They also sell coffee products to make at home. Better Buzz Coffee offers a number of flavored canned energy drinks called Buzz Energy. I was intrigued by their Moroccan Spice and Horchata Lattes but ended up ordering their Mint Infused Iced Coffee. We enjoyed a nice day on the patio during our first visit here. I live nearby and need to come by more often to try more of their drink flavors. The holiday drinks look fun.

Obsessed w the pink accent !

Okay, Evie at Better Buzz Tempe is literally the best part of my day. He walks in the room (well, behind the counter) and the whole store just lights up. The energy is unmatched!! I trust him so much that I just tell him "make me whatever you want" and he has NEVER missed. Every single drink is a banger. Creative, delicious, and made with actual care. It's giving main character energy. Customer service? Top tier. Vibes? Immaculate. Drinks? Elite. If Evie's working, do yourself a favor and ask for him. You won't regret it. 10/10, would recommend to who deserves a good drink!

Lavender best drink ever
Janet L.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a clean and bright storefront with the friendliest staff. I didn't catch his name, but he is extremely tall (I even joked and asked if he was a basketball player). He needs to be recognized, because I truly felt like a VIP and he made my day. I was asked if I were a rewards program member, got my phone number, my order, and the order came out so quickly that I didn't even get all situated yet. I love my Lavender Best Drink Ever so much! FYI- The WiFi wasn't fast enough to play a video or run Canva, but okay to check emails and other admin app like Shopify.

Q: How do you fix a broken candy cane? A: With a peppermint twist! Candy Cane Best Drink Ever and an Iced Matcha Tea Latte was ordered by app and picked up shortly afterwards. The Candy Cane Best Drink Ever at 3/4 sweetness and with oat milk was an amazing sweet treat after hiking "A" Mountain nearby. I'm a fan of their "Best Drink Ever" so any time they release a fun cold foam to go on top, I'm down. What else needs to be said about this San Diego coffee chain? They're great and they do coffee well!

Seasonal peppermint drink

I love this coffee chain, and came by this location recently for a fun coffee drink. The inside wasn't too busy and was clean. Indoor and outdoor seating are available at this location. Lots of merch for purchase as well as coffee beans and supplies! I ordered one of their seasonal drinks that had peppermint on it and really enjoyed it! The drink came up fast and the people working were all very nice! Can't get enough of this place, definitely recommend checking it out!

Better Buzz: A brew-tiful way to start the new year. Came here after the yearly "A" Mountain hike nearby. I ordered the Iced Matcha Tea Latte. I have to admit that it wasn't the most matcha-forward tasting drink, the milk having covered most of the flavor, but it was enjoyable. This is a great Better Buzz location. They can get a little busy but you can order off the app to make the process easier.

Was excited to hear Better Buzz finally landed right near Tempe Marketplace! I've been to their spots in California, and this one is just as good. I tried their signature drink, the Best Drink Ever. It was good, a surprise because I usually don't go for Americanos. My mom got the Snickerdoodle Latte with alt milk, less sweet, and she liked it. The GF Banana Nut Muffin was also surprisingly good, very moist. The barista taking my order was friendly, and took the time to go over the menu with me. Definitely a solid stop for good coffee, I'll be back but will try something different.

Holiday cup!
Christopher T.

Nice, clean, modern aesthetic. Service is fast and friendly. Has a drive thru as well. Menu is extensive with all the standards plus specials and some food options. Americano with a splash of milk for me. Well made, low acid. All around good taste. Place does have a bit of a chainy type feel to it, but I was cool with that. N*joy!

Layla K.

Cool vibe and cute theme carried throughout restaurant. Coffee was the perfect balance, not bitter and smooth. I will definitely add this place to my regular rotation.

Pink dragon smoothie and a killer bee
Teresa A.

Such a nicely lit location and I dig the decor. I got the pink dragon smoothie but it wasnt really a smoothie. The ice was not very well blended so every sip it was tiny ice chunks moreso like a snow cone. It was honestly a little off putting. You cant really drink their smoothies here, you kind of eat it. Just hoping it was just a 1 off thing. I would order something else if I were ever to come back. The music is definitely loud here. Service was super quick and they were so busy in their drive through. Props to the crew for knocking out orders. My boyfriend got the killer bee. He said it was alright.

Great coffee with my hotels waffle
Renata R.

Excellent Customer Service & Delicious Coffee! I just left about an hour ago and had to write this review, that's how good the experience was! This was my first visit, and the young lady at the counter was incredibly sweet and helpful. I wasn't sure what to order, so I told her what I usually drink, and she made a few great suggestions. I ended up going with the Moroccan coffee ahhh, so good! The place itself is really nice with a great menu, friendly staff, and actual tasty coffee unlike the coffee-colored water at our hotel. Yuck! I'll definitely be back to try more exciting options from their menu. Highly recommend!

Horchata latte with cinnamon foam (see review)
Tiffany S.

I'm generally pretty easy going with coffee but of the few times I've been to this location only one time was the experience great for the amount they charge. While the service is friendly, the coffee is hit or miss. I've also never paid more for two shots of espresso with cold foam than a latte before so that was a bit different and I decided to just order menu drinks from here rather than my usual. It's worth the extra drive to University for The Human Bean for better pricing and consistency. I pulled through yesterday for the horchata latte, ordered two and asked to add cinnamon foam. They charged for the foam but then didn't put it on the coffee. When I mentioned they didn't have the foam on them she said "they don't come with foam" so I had let her know that was why I requested the foam and paid for it. The horchata latte is layered with the espresso on top so the fix resulted in dumping out half the espresso to add the foam. It wasn't worth trying to have them remake it so I just left. The flavor is good, the coffee is good, but paying $10 to have half the actual coffee dumped out is not great.

Been here 3 times now. Each time they took 15-20 mins to make a drink. 2 of the times, I had to ask if they were making it.

Coffee is overpriced and ridiculously too sweet. The food is OK but for that price you can go to a restaurant and have the same thing.

Easy peasy 5 stars…read more Tempe Eats has a cool concept, there are several smaller restaurants that are setup in a food court deal, you use the QR Code to get your food. They have alcohol which seems to be sold by a different company-- Anyways chik pop is just amazing. I got the OG Sando spicy which was a perfectly fried chicken thigh in a sandwich-- they add an extra piece of chicken with it so just on portion size this place is a winner. The heat was solid and the chicken was juicy check my pic. Staff was super friendly and the Tempe Eats has someone checking on you as well. The sandwiches come with a purple Italian style dressing ( not sure what is was) that you may find off-putting so if you are sensitive to that stuff get the sauce on the side. I didn't mind it all. Sandwich comes with fries-- the place has water pitchers with lemons in it, get some water. You need to try this place! Can't wait to go back.

I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich, and the portion was huge the chicken was spilling out of the bread! I was actually the only one at the table who finished the whole thing (I was hungry!). We came here for my brother's birthday and our server did a great job making him feel special. They offered him a birthday shot, but since he doesn't drink, they brought us churros for the table instead which was sweet of them. One thing to note* I wasn't expecting it to be as spicy as it was. Our server did give me a heads up but I personally loved the heat. If you're not into spicy food though, it might be a bit much.

Just finished my first Ike's sandwich. Their version of a Reuben and it was amazing. It's summer so…read morefew students but the place was full of casual professionals on lunch break and my wait to order was less than a minute. The girl at the counter was beyond good customer service. Helped with the bread to choose and when I said everything she immediately asked about jalapeños sensing my appearance might require the question. It did. I laughed. A good sandwich can quickly be ruined by the bread but I think I got their house bread and it too was incredible. Thanks for a great lunch.

When the Ike's by ASU first opened, I was a pretty picky eater. Shortly after graduating from high…read moreschool, I became less picky about my eating habits. When I started at ASU back in 2014, I discovered Ike's as I was exploring Mill Avenue. Since then, Ike's has been among my favorite places for sandwiches. Although it is no longer on the menu, my favorite sandwich is the Steph Curry One, which features turkey, provolone cheese, and yellow BBQ sauce. I found out that even if something is not on the menu, they can still make it for you if you remember the combination. Some other sandwiches I like are the Hunter Pence and the Steve Nash. The service is friendly, and they are more than happy to offer suggestions on what sandwich to choose, as they have an excellent selection of sandwiches. I also like the atmosphere. It is nice and colorful, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy your food. Ike's is also a great place to go if you need to eat on the run. Once, I had to take my sandwich to go. Upon ordering it, they had it ready with plenty of time to spare. I also like that they have a rewards program. I highly recommend Ike's Love and Sandwiches to anyone who is looking for a great sandwich on Mill Avenue.
