Better Buzz Coffee in Mira Mesa is at the top of the list for a drive-thru coffee experience in the neighborhood. I prefer this coffee over Starbucks. I will be upfront and say that you should order every drink at least half sweet - and honestly, I recommend quarter sweet. However, if sweet drinks are your think, order your drink as is. I love their flavor combinations and seasonal offerings (winter cannot come faster, because this is where Better Buzz shines). I tend to get their cold brews with their seasonal foam option. If I do not get their cold brew, I get a latte (with a pump or two of Snickerdoodle if I am feeling zesty). The coffee is not mind-blowing or too memorable, but as I said, it is better than Starbucks. Their pastries are from Bread and Cie (go visit them for more options), and I love them - pro tip is warming up the scones and dunking them in a plain hot latte. This combo is elite! The interior at this location is aesthetic and fresh, so it is a solid option to crank out some studying or work. There is not too much seating, but finding a spot has never been an issue. Their drive-thru lay out is a bit inconvenient, but they do the best with their location and it works! The staff here do a great job of busting our drinks quickly so that I am never waiting in line for too long. I want to give a shoutout to Adrian for making my morning - quite literally at 5am. His warmness, kindness, and smile made my day. Him asking about my morning and wishing me well on my exam pushed me to finally write a review about this location. Being that personable at 5am is quite the talent. I can only imagine how many more days he makes by simply being himself! The rest of the staff at this location is also great. This place gets a 4.2/5 , but the staff brings it up to a solid 5.

If you know good coffee and you're a coffee feen this place is NOT for you.I came here thinking it would change from the chains and the coffee roaster i wanted to go to was closed. It had good reviews so i said why not.There were three of us. One ordered espresso, the other a flat white (which is not on their menu but they said they could do it) and the other a cortado.I saw a gazillion "coffee" iced drinks on the bar so clearly that is where it's at... but the real coffee (hot) drinks are a disaster.First it took roughly ten minutes to get our coffee.. one barista and lots of clients.. and when he handed me the flat white he said "oh it was a flat white" .. i think he read the label after seeing the cortado cup. I told him dont worry about it because he was busy.All three of us took a sip and looked at each other. They were the most bitter nasty coffees. The espresso drinker threw hers away immediately as it was "not edible". Two of us took another sip in hopes that we didnt just waste our money but proceeded to throw away the drinks.This place is probably popular because of iced drinks that doesnt taste like coffee but its def not good coffee its more than nasty and three of us threw ours away Extremely disappointing .

If you like sweet coffee drinks this place is for you!Iced hazelnut divinity is my fav and the iced caramel vanilla latte is my bf's. Both are super sweet and hit the spot. The interior is small but has a few tables and is cute inside. Private parking lot. Friendly staff.

The aesthetic of this location is great. There's a decent number of tables. I'm sorry - can't remember the exact amount but my family def took up 2 while we were waiting for our drinks and there were still other tables. It felt bigger than the Escondido location.There is a drive thru option and ample parking as this is in a big plaza (my family was actually there to get dim sum at golden island). My cinnamon cream cold brew was delicious. My nephew loved his chocolate milk. When I visit San Diego, I make it a point to get Better Buzz.

Small cute cafe with yummy lattes! I'm not the most avid coffee drinker so I prefer mine to be on the sweeter side when I do indulge, so the Best Drink Ever was perfect for me.We went at an off time in the evening so it was a super short wait. Neon sign was a cute touchand also seemed like a nice area to study.

Starting to become one of my new favorite coffee spots! They have a ton of drinks and food options to choose from. The only downfall that this is a small location and they have a drive thru so it took a while for our drinks when we walked in.

I've been to many of the BB locations throughout SD County and was glad to see the Mira Mesa location open up. I have only tried their drive-thru service here, but from the outside, this location appears to have seating both indoors and outdoors. They also have the staple BB aesthetic that you see in all the other locations.Our go-to drinks here are the Best Drink Ever and Hazelnut Divinity. The Best Drink Ever is great for an iced coffee that is still sweet but does not have any milk. I also like to get the Mocha de Mexico (hot) when it's a cold day out. For food options, we usually order the Turkey Pesto and Bacon Ciabatta. The Turkey Pesto is so good but the turkey/pesto ratio inside can be a hit or miss depending on the day, so I've made this at home several times and put as much as my heart desires!This location's drive-thru has been pretty good with speed and customer service - but the times I've gone are off-peak hours in the middle of the day, so this may vary.

I was recommended this coffee chain in San Diego by three different people (two friends and a Lyft driver) within 1.5 weeks. For some odd reason, I've never heard of this chain until these three people recommended it LOL and I've been in San Diego for about 4 months. Definitely had to bring my boyfriend for us to both try! The location that we went to is located next to Chevron gas station and shares the building space with El Pollo Loco close to Camino Ruiz in Mira Mesa. There's ample parking stalls all around the area but only a few closest to the shop. They also have a small drive-thru for customers.My boyfriend and I shared a pistachio croissant and a large Best Drink Ever with whole milk (thank you to the worker for giving me the option for either milk or water! I was so confused when she asked). The pistachio croissant was surprisingly very good. It wasn't overly sweet and had a good amount of pistachios. My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed it as his breakfast pastry. The Best Drink Ever was fantastic! I can see why the three people recommend this drink as it wasn't too sweet yet strong with coffee. Delicious! When I left the shop, I went to see what was in the drink, and it said americano. Did NOT expect that but definitely not complaining. I came back another day and got their Cinnamon Cream Cold Brew, and omg. This was the drink I fell in LOVE with. LOVED the cinnamon cream on top of the cold brew. It had a very nice, not too overwhelming, cinnamon flavor that worked so well with the cold brew. From then on, I just kept ordering this specific drink LOL. I tried one of their fall season drinks: the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. I'm a huge sucker for this kind of drink because I'm OBSESSED with Starbucks one. I wasn't that impressed with this shop's pumpkin cream but the cold brew here definitely was a lot better and stronger. Definitely would be getting more of this as I do love my strong coffees.As you can see, ever since my boyfriend came and we tried Better Buzz, I've been obsessed LOL. Definitely will be coming again a lot more as I live just down the street from one of their locations! Specialty coffee shops are definitely a different breed.
