Overall: hip ambiance, fun menu, yummy tea, coffee, and food items, and kind serviceWe enjoyed our coffee, lavender tea latte, blueberry muffin, and better breakfast sandwich. I've never had a breakfast sandwich on a pretzel bun, but it was awesome, balanced, and flavorful. The lavender tea latte was delicious but a little too sweet for my personal preference. I loved the lighting and natural vibes of the place. The regular sized drinks were rather large.

Was excited to try this location but it leaves more to be desired. The smaller locations do it for me more than this location. Yes, it's a pretty location and bigger but the service and coffee fell short. Best drink ever doesn't deserve this title and wish I was asked for the option of here or to-go. The drinks are in plastic cups but then my acai bowl was in a glass bowl. What?? And it's so huge. I wish I had the option to take it home. Bathroom is so bright you'll need sunglasses to tinkle. Seems like it caters more to corporate meetings at this location which imo clashes with the vibe of what you'd want a chill coffee shop visit to be like.

I think this is a cute spot and up and coming SD chain - however the coffee is pretty expensive for the quality (it's like a fancier Starbucks) and I don't like how everything (including all the food) is served in plastic To-Go containers. The service is also very Starbucks-esque with counter service where they just violently shout people's names all day when your order is ready, which leads this busy shop to be even louder than it already is. I had the CHIPOTLE CHICKEN WRAP and it was honestly disgusting. The cheese was previously cooked to a brittle texture reminiscent of uncooked pasta, but somehow the rest of it was mushy like it was sitting around a while. I do like their "BEST DRINK EVER" but getting it on ice I think i finished the large size in about 3 sips. Most other drinks fall flat for me/ have way too many up charges for various customizations/ milks. On the plus side it's nice to have a variety of menu options with things like açaí bowls and smoothies. The decor is nice and it's a cool building. That said I don't think I'll get food here again or go out of my way to go here unless I'm in the area.

I love the easy online ordering. However, there was no option to order a pourover, so had to go inside to order it. But it was really good. I ordered the Lavender black tea latte - seemed like powder. No tea bag and it was sweet, even tho I got 75% sweetness I ordered the egg and bacon on ciabatta. I didn't really care for it. It also said "thick cut bacon" but I didn't think the bacon was thick at all. I tried The pretzel breakfast sandwich and that was really good with good flavor due to the garlic aioli spread. The place is large and has an upstairs area as well. It's loud inside but not bothersome. I liked the ambience and all the workers there seemed very friendly and happy!

One of my favorite Better Buzz locations. The ambiance is nice. Parking can be a pain though. There is only street parking if you're lucky enough to find a spot. Customer service is great. The baristas are nice and welcoming. You can't go wrong with ordering their Best Drink Ever. It's made with their signature creamy vanilla syrup.

This is my absolute go-to spot whenever I visit San Diego. Not only is it a great place to study, but also a great spot to hang out with friends. The interior is so beautiful and is set up loft style with large hanging light fixtures. There's usually a line, but the drinks come out super fast. I always get the Horchata Iced Latte because of their homemade cinnamon rice milk that they add. Love visiting here!

Nice, cozy coffee shop work place. The beverages were good. We got the best drink ever and the hazelnut drink. The hazelnut drink was extremely sweet but to their defense, the barista taking our order did warn us ahead of time. What made the experience even better was that when I asked for an adjustment (extra milk or coffee) to balance out the sweetness, she was so happy to help and gave me a free shot of espresso. Thanks for the great service!

Better Buzz is such a cool, hip and delicious spot! We were in San Diego for the weekend and yelp helped us decide on this spot since it was so close to our hotel. It's on a bit of a busy street and fortunately we found parking right around the corner. We got there around 11:30 in the morning and was able to order and get our food within 10 min or so.I ordered the Lavender tea buzz($6.29) it's like a lavender latte smoothie and although it was flavorful it was way too sweet for my liking lol. But the hubby ordered the vanilla bean latte ($6.29) and his was a good balance. For food I ordered the better breakfast sandwich ($9.99) and that sandwich was one of the best things I had all weekend! Shout out to the barista that suggested it!!The decor was sooooooo cute and instagram worthy. We didn't buy any merchandise but I love their logo. It's definitely a place we are adding to our San Diego must stop places from now on.

So while visiting San Diego, my daughter told me that she had heard Better Buzz was the best coffee place. She said that while she was an Uber driver, she delivered a lot of these coffees so of course I had to try it!The directions were a little bit tricky because well it got me right to the place but the wrong entrance so I couldn't get in line easily with my car. It kind of reminded me of going to In-N-Out Burger because there was a very long line and there were two people walking up and down taking orders. When it was finally my turn, a very nice gal took my order. She was very patient because it was my first time and she explained all the different pastries. I was happy that they had oat milk, but disappointed that the cold foam was cinnamon flavored and that they didn't have a plain sweet cold foam, but I recovered.When I got to the window, the person that was handing out the coffee and pastries was really nice and she patiently showed me all the different hats because I wanted to buy a hat. They were $30. I was thinking if it's about $20 I'll get one but $30?! nah too rich for my blood.The coffee was hot, but it was dilute tasting. It didn't have a very strong rich coffee flavor, which I really like in my coffees. The chocolate chip cookie I got was chock full of chocolate chips, which is awesome however, it was really dry and seemed old. So in summary, I always say try it for yourself because maybe I didn't have a good experience but maybe you will! I don't like to badmouth places. For me, though it was definitely not worth the money and I would not go back.
