This spot looks very modern and inviting. I ordered a latte with coconut milk for the first time. Big mistake, tasted terrible but that's one me. However, the breakfast sandwich tasting terrible is on them.
Better Buzz is the perfect spot to grab a coffee or pastry before catching your flight! This location is in Terminal 1 of the San Diego airport, just past the TSA security area. Because of their location they get pretty busy since they are the first thing people see after entering the terminal, but their team works pretty hard to get drinks done quickly. The only reason I'm not giving them a full five stars is because I thought the coffee tasted pretty average for the cost. Also, I ordered a cold brew and probably half of the cup was ice. However, I ordered a pastry for my kid which was delicious. My husband had better luck with his coffee order, so I guess I just ordered the wrong item. Anyhow! I'll definitely give them another chance next time I visit.
Waiting for a delayed flight in San Diego Airport, dying for refreshment, I found Better Buzz Coffee Roasters and stopped in to avoid my boredom. A clean, bright space, I ordered a Iced Honey Latte on the kiosk and whiled away the time at a small table, sipping and watching people walk by. Delicious coffee, not too sugary or sweet. Kudos to Better Buzz for being exactly where and when I needed them! If you're in SAN airport looking for a decent sip, try Better Buzz!
Stopped here on my flight to Vegas. I needed something to eat and of course a coffee. I liked that they had the lines of kiosk to order. It moved fairly quickly and made ordering easy. They are pricey, however your portions are big! I ordered avocado toast with an egg and it came with a side salad. It was huge! Worth the price. It was also pretty delicious. I would've liked just a little more flavor, but that's me. The service was quick and the atmosphere was chill. Would stop here again especially for the coffee.
Great for airport coffee and breakfast. I got the avocado toast which came with a salad. The service was not super fast but I had plenty of time. The seating area looked like it needed to be cleaned but I took my food to the gate. Not a bad deal for the amount of food. The coffee was great.
Great location right inside of New Terminal 1 after passing through TSA. The location is well lighted, clean, and has great cold shelf variety for purchase. They have the self service kiosks as well. It is a quick and easy way to grab a coffee, tea, small bite, or treat before your flight. I recommend this convenient location.
Got a three seed avocado toast (which I regularly eat from better buzz) and the bread wasn't toasted at all. What I received was avocado spread and chunks of butter on limp bread. Totally get it mistakes happen, I waited until they had a minute and asked if it maybe forgot to get toasted, showed them the bread and the guy on warming said "I toasted it". My fiancée went up to the counter to ask politely for it to be remade, two of the girls on bar were talking sh*t about it and they told him "it's going to be burnt if we toast it again". I legit work at a coffee shop and have for 5 years, if something isn't right just make it again. I'd recommend talking about customers a little quietly. If you're that miserable work somewhere else. Changed the review to 1 star because the service was that bad. First time leaving a 1 star.
I've been here twice and it's always nice to see a Better Buzz greet you after TSA. The line goes pretty quickly, even if the line is kinda long sometimes. The food wait is average, sometimes I get it quick and sometimes there's a wait. Like another Yelpie stated, I looked at Better Buzz app and I was unable to find this location on the app, therefore, you can't use your Buzz points at this location. Hopefully this gets fixed since you can use your Starbucks app at the Terminal 2 location. Drinks are pretty good. I got my usual Best Drink Ever and an avocado toast. Ingredients were fresh and the toast was visually appealing, so much so that another customer said, "That looks good." The pickup process can be quite confusing since the servers name is also on your order sticker which causes some ppl to inadvertently think that it's their name on the food. If you're in a rush, you may accidentally grab someone else's order. This almost happened when someone picked up their order and then another person asked to look at the label on their food, which had her name on it but it was the servers name on it instead. Location is bright and clean and the pastry case was adequately stocked. I would stop by again only because I love Better Buzz coffee.
Tried this place for the first time, while traveling back home. Located inside the San Diego airport, so noise level was pretty loud. I did ask the cashier what was a good coffee to try. She suggested their Best Drink Ever. But I decided to try the Hazelnut Divinity. It was tasty and I enjoyed it. Customer service was good and I hope to try it again while in California again.
Your review is already strong and detailed! Here's a slightly polished version with smoother flow and clarity while keeping your voice and meaning intact: --- The taste of their coffee is excellent--rich, smooth, and definitely worth coming back for! That said, the electronic ordering menu is a bit confusing. If you want an iced coffee, you don't actually click on "iced." Instead, you select "coffee" first, and then after choosing your drink, there's an option to add ice. I made the mistake of ordering an iced Vanilla Buzz coffee, only to realize it's actually a slushie-style drink! Thankfully, they understood the confusion since it's happened before and were more than happy to remake my drink. Great customer service! The only thing that would have made it even better is if they had asked whether anyone in my party wanted the original drink instead of throwing it away. I also ordered the Bacon Ciabatta (cage-free eggs, Muenster cheese, and spicy chipotle aioli on ciabatta), and it was excellent! The bread was light and crunchy--completely different (and much better!) than how it appeared. The flavors came together perfectly. The café is in a great location with comfortable chairs and tables, making it a nice spot to sit and relax. The bathrooms are conveniently located and not too far away, which is always a plus. Overall, great coffee and food--just be prepared to navigate the ordering screen carefully!
Honestly, this was a really lovely Better Buzz location even for being at the airport. Very spacious with lots of tables and outlets--definitely a good spot to kill time before a flight. My banana best drink ever was also really good! + Baristas were kind enough to give a tiny discount when I asked if they used the BB app (spoiler: they don't but be nice and maybe you'll get a discount too!)
Yahoo! Terminal One is finally open and better than ever! Immediately after exiting security I was looking for coffee and there was a giant Better Buzz. The design and esthetics are welcoming and bright. It was clear where to order, easy to see the menus and plenty of space to wait for your drink. I believe they also offered a "mobile order" option, although I didn't use it. This spot had been open less than a month and there were a few hiccups (some employees still trying to navigate the menu screen and they ran out of cow's milk) but I believe both will shortly be straightened out and they'll be functioning at a high level in no time. My larger cold brew with almond milk was made carefully (I watched to make sure I wasn't given another milk or they skimped on the coffee, filling it mostly with ice) and they were careful to give me 'light ice' as I'd asked and plenty of cold brew with a splash of almond milk. It tasted great and I would highly recommend grabbing yourself something next time you're in the NEW TERMINAL ONE!
Food: 3.0 Coffee: 4.3 Service: 4.0 INSIDE NEW TERMINAL 1 San Diego after TSA OK I'm excited about the new terminal in San Diego, it's like a new indoor mall. But Better Buzz greets you right after TSA, so of course 6:30am we need some coffee. A modest line but it went quickly to order, then another short wait for our toasted bagel, hot mocha, and my drip coffee was already in-hand! Their house drip is nice and smooth and really doesn't need sugar or cream, wife is not particular so she was happy too with her mocha and their bagel is just a bagel but they do have a nice selection of pastries (sorry no pic), maybe need to try if I find out the pastries are supplied from a local bakery. A great location if you need a jolt of caffeine!

Clean, quick, and best airport coffee option! I ordered my coffee after landing, so I was not in a huge rush, but I still appreciated the speed at which my order was prepared. The ordering process was very easy and straightforward as well: you could order with a staff member or at one of the touchscreen kiosks. I was impressed with the menu options and customization available for the orders: adjustment was available for added syrups, ice level, sugar level, cup size, etc. just to your liking. Pricing was also reasonable given the size and quality of the drink and service. There is also menu options for food if you wanted something to pair with your drink or matcha/tea if you prefer not to drink coffee. One thing I would've appreciated is a cup holder for purchasing multiple drinks. I was provided a plastic bag and had to carefully walk with my drinks balanced so that it didn't spill, but understandable that's likely an uncommon experience in the airport for someone to buy/carry multiple drinks for others. Therefore, won't let that influence from an otherwise five star experience. :) read more
This was my first time seeing this better buzz after the remodels for terminal 1 at the San Diego Airport. I wish all airports had a Better Buzz ! Location was clean and bright! There was no line it was in the afternoon when I traveled and ordered my go to Banana Pudding Best Drink ever which was delicious! As I normally order better buzz the prices were pretty high plus a surcharge . My total was about $10 for a regular size not large drink. For the options at the airport , you can't beat better buzz coffee . Just be aware of the higher prices. They also have some kiosk to the side where you can also order from! read more

After getting out of TSA (Terminal 2) this Better Buzz is what you will see once you get out! Coffee? I think yes! I self ordered through the kiosk, and got the "best banana pudding drink ever". Wait was about 5-10 minutes and they were super busy!! kudos to yall for staying on top of it. Place was clean, had napkins/utensils/condiments for grabs. Only reason why I gave 4 stars is because I got an iced coffee but it was warm and ice floating to the top melting. Other than that, great service and good coffee :) read more

The açaí bowl and Snickerdoodle coffee were good, and overall Better Buzz is not a bad spot. I've been to a few different locations, and the food and drinks are usually enjoyable. The main thing I've noticed is the customer service could be better. I've had a similar experience at different Better Buzz locations, so that part does stand out. Overall, good coffee and bowls, but the service experience could use some improvement. read more

This is not really Better Buzz. Although it appears like it and has signs everywhere, you can't use your Better Buzz points. You can't scan your app for an eight dollar coffee. There is nothing that resembles Better Buzz in my opinion. I will not be going read more

The kiosk ordering was easy, efficient & I've been enjoying my coffee for this early morning flight. Unfortunately, the cream cheese I paid for isn't on my bagel or on the side. Womp, womp, womp... The Asiago is tasty at least, so not a total failure. read more
