    Coconut Sugar Protein Latte and Horchata Latte
    Leslie H.

    Yum! We walked to this location during our stay at Mission Beach while we were out and about exploring the area. I ordered the coconut sugar protein latte (which may have been a temporary option) and my husband ordered the Horchata Latte. The coconut sugar latte was a great option for someone like me who usually needs to resort to a sugar-free option. It obviously is not sugar-free, but it was not as sweet as regular lattes and didn't spike my blood sugar, so win-win. The Horchata Latte was a win for my husband. He loved it and was disappointed that they didn't have it at the airport location. The space is bright and clean and service was great.

    I generally like Better Buzz. But I do think their drinks are really sweet. If I come here, I would be treating myself. This location in Pacific Beach has a drive thru. It's next to Taco Bell, but you can't get there from the parking lot. I like that they have convenient online ordering. The matcha latte is just ok. I would stick to their coffee drinks. Bathroom is outside. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted.

    If you want yo espresso w/o waiting forever, go inside. Drive-thru is more like slow-thru. Espresso is good.

    Super clean, bakery and drink station

    This place is incredible! The service is the best in California! Drinks are on point! We will absolutely be visiting this place as our primary shop in Pacific Beach!

    Coffee was good, would recommend. The pastries looked amazing. I would come here again, just haven't found that 5 star coffee yet.

    Better Buzz has quickly become a favorite spot to grab coffee while in Pacific Beach. I've exclusively stopped at this location during the holidays over the last few years and I always enjoy all of their festive flavors. On a recent visit, I tried their Chili Crunch Breakfast Wrap which was particularly tasty. The staff is friendly, helpful with adjustments or modifications, and the vibes are chill and perfect for a yummy coffee and breakfast in PB! Instagram: @waitingtoeat

    This Better Buzz never disappoints. Caleb and Edgar helped me and my coffee and food turned out great. Love this location as it's in perfect walking distance with the beach. Shout out to this location and the amazing staff!

    I stopped by to get a smoothie after hanging out at the beach on a hot day. I got an acai smoothie. I gotta say it was pretty pricey but the perfect refreshment to help me cool down. The decor here is super cute and the service was ok.

    Is the upstairs patio dog friendly or is it just the patio up in the front?

    Just the front. But it's small anyway, I'd go to the one on Garnet or Mission if you're going to chill.

    Is apple pay accepted here?

    I used Apple Pay when visiting in Feb 2025

    Food was great! Breakfast Burrito delicious. Sandwiches, coffee, drinks all five stars!…read more Wonderful outdoor dog-friendly patio lunch spot too. Will be back!!!

    I will preface this review with the acknowledgment that this is the epitome of first world…read moreproblems. I actually love this place (I could have sworn I had reviewed positively before). I'm just extremely disappointed with how poor my experience was today because I had only super positive experiences previously and was looking forward to dining there this morning after sometime away, but holy hell ....today's experience has been so profoundly bad. Firstly, my husband ordered two breakfast burritos - one with bacon and the other with bacon on the side. I'll chalk this one up to miscommunication, but they put bacon in one, and bacon in the other too - and then added bacon on the side to the other and charged us $5.50 for the extra bacon. Again, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt here and will be sure to communicate explicitly next time. They kindly made me a new one, but the new one had potatoes that weren't cooked thoroughly (likely to rush the food to me, so I acknowledge the difficulty here), however there was hardly any avocado. I literally had to complain again because I didn't believe there was any avocado at all. I wouldn't be as pissed if this weren't an EIGHTEEN DOLLAR breakfast burrito. Lastly, the coffee lids don't fit on the cups. We tried to put one on and ended up spilling the entire coffee. I chalked this up to an accident on our part, however another patron who observed our incident said "their lids don't fit the cup, right??" And I was like "oh so it wasn't just us??" And she was like "no, I almost spilled mine all over too." This random patron encouraged us to ask for a new cup of coffee as a result (thanks, random patron!). The Molly's team did kindly make us a new (albeit quite bitter) drink, which I appreciate. However, the lid was still an issue - it would spill out of the cup all over the rim between the cup and the lid when I'd try to take a sip, so I took off the lid entirely, but then was stuck with dealing with spills while walking around - I had to move at a snail's pace to prevent spills altogether. This was easier to deal with random leakage around the entire cup every time I'd sip with the lid on. Ultimately It was just a lose-lose with the ill fitting lid situation. All this to say - Molly's Team, yall were fantastic just a month ago. What happened? I understand food and services in the beach area stuff are often expensive and rarely good, but you guys are *too* expensive for this poor of service and quality. Two stars because at least the folks there are generally nice.

    My husband and I picked this hotel for our anniversary weekend in San Diego…read more It was right on the beach which we totally loved! We took a morning walk on the beach every day we were there and caught a couple of beautiful sunsets. There were many restaurants and coffee shops in very close walking distance and we were minutes from the San Diego Zoo and La Jolla. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We ate breakfast one morning on the patio facing the beach and it was nice. We also sat by the pool a couple of times and had drinks and they had fresh cookies every day which were yummy and I thought really nice. Since I did mention it was our anniversary they had a dozen roses waiting for us in our room and gave us a bottle of wine-really nice :) My only negative was that we were unable to get a room with a king size bed, they said it was based on availability even though I had booked months in advance, so that was disappointing to spend our anniversary weekend in a room with two beds. I would recommend this hotel otherwise.

The rest was disappointing. Jillian was our server, she was super friendly. However the food took 2 hours to come out. The breakfast combos were not very good. The eggs tasted old or something. The speciality Pancakes were good but not something I'd come back for. Definitely taking an Uber to a breakfast place if we stay at the Pacific Terrace again.
