"I grew up in Brazil and I've tried every traditional Brazilian restaurant in Orange County, Los Angeles County, and some of San Diego County.I can confirm that Taste of Brazil Cuisine is the most authentic place you can go to for salgadinhos (appetizers) and for a traditional plate of your choice of meat, rice, and beans. Everything is just full of flavor.This place is a treasure!"
"Praise God! My heart is overflowing with gratitude.My husband and I had this morning to spend together, and he suggested he take me to better buzz. I love coming here but money has been tight for a while and so I haven't been in a few months. We grabbed $15 and left the house. We get in the drive through and it looked closed, and suddenly a voice came through the speaker!We ordered my food and the total came to $17 and some change and my husband said he would use his apple pay for the rest because he didn't have much on the card.After ordering i sad to him, "maybe this is actually God and He opened up the shop for us!" He laughedWe get to the window and the wonderful man filled with love offered to play a game of rock paper scissors and we played and we got our food taken care of! What a loving man. I was so overwhelmed with love and grace that I don't know if he said Brian or Ryan, but he had glasses and a beautiful personality. Management like that makes feel as a customer seen in all things. He didn't know the money troubles we were dealing with just a couple days ago, yet treated us with a blessing. Thank you God! Bless the staff and service workers here at Better Buzz and would they all experience your love and presence and would all customers experience your love and peace through these lovely people that make days better by a little coffee and toast"

"The best smoothies ever! My favorite is the OG--perfect for peanut butter, banana, and chocolate lovers. It tastes even better than a milkshake, but with clean ingredients and only positive benefits. Highly recommend this place! The staff is super kind and always helps you choose something you'll love. I come here a couple of times a week and crave their smoothies every single day!"
"I'd tell you a joke about macadamias, but you'll think I'm nuts.Nice clean spot with plenty of parking. Staff is helpful and patient. White macadamia oat was very good and not too sweet. I think it's better than the ones in Hawaii because you can actually taste the macadamia! Will return to try their Matcha Series."
"This was my first time at Better Buzz and I totally get the hype now. The vibe is super cute and the space is great whether you're hanging out or getting some work done. I had the 'Best Drink Ever' and honestly, they're not wrong...it's smooth, just the right amount of sweet, and exactly what I needed.The staff were really friendly and service was quick, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely adding this to my coffee rotation and already looking forward to trying more from the menu!"
"Great service and wide variety of options! The Popeyes açaí was delicious! Anja is such a sweet girl!"
"Received exceptional customer service from the manager and Evelyn. They went above and beyond. Not to mention the food was amazing. I will keep coming back to this location all the time."
"I found Karak House on IG and was happy to see that they were pretty close to where I live. I actually saw them because of Muse Cheesecake's collaboration whom I also follow on IG. Muse, is a small up and coming Cheesecake company in SD that we have been wanting to visit, but the drive down for dessert has put us off, at least for a while. I was excited to come try Karak house when I saw the collab.Karak, is in a small shopping plaza in Laguna Hills. There is plenty of parking available, including handicap right in from of the cafe. There's seating inside and outside the establishment. Inside is absolutely beautiful and even more so at night. The dark green is a gorgeous touch. Seating can be extremely limited in the evening being that people like to sit here and chitchat with friends. I don't blame them at all. It is a nice place to be. What we've ordered: -The drip coffee - is tasty brew with hazelnut and caramel notes. They have a pour-over option which I am going to do next time. - Regular latte - great with any dessert since it's not sweet. - Mocha latte extra hot - delicious - Honey lavender latte with oat milk extra hot - which was also delicious. I don't know if it's my favorite version, but it was good and I would order it again. - The muse basque cheesecake - is amazing, so if and when they carry it, it is a must have. - Chocolate pistachio cookie - which is a cookie version of the Dubai chocolate bar. It was decadent, dark chocolate with pistachio. - Pistachio cheesecake- OMG. My eyes rolled back it was so good. I would definitely come back to this place again and again. Customer service has been on par for us, luckily. We have not had any issues with the people who worked here so I'm thankful for that. Cheers to a new dessert and coffee joint in South OC."
"I took my grandsons, Francis, Theo, and George who are 10, 8, 5 to Wendi' for their wonderful donuts. We ordered 4 maple bars, 2 crumb, 2 plain old fashion and a sprinkle for Goldie. They were delicious and super fresh. The store is clean and family run. We all gave it a 5-star rating."
"I LOVE Mother's Market and Kitchen. Their food is delicious and they have vegetarian options! The breakfast special (and menu specials) changes every month. Sunrise breakfast specials are an amazing deal for less than $5. The chefs make the most delicious food! The restaurant staff is always friendly. (Thanks Carlos & team!) The fresh pressed juice is really good and the market has good selections of helthy food."
"Sometimes drinks are too sweet, sometimes not sweet enough. It seems to depend on who makes your order. There isnt a level of consistency.Also the boba is hit or miss so I generally skip it.It's a good place to wait for your bbq chicken order."
"So excited there's a new Handel's! Went over a few weeknight evening and it was busy. There was a line but nothing too crazy. It moved along nicely. The staff were professional and patient despite it being busy. We tried a few samples and decided on Graham Central Station, Cotton Candy, Salted Caramel and Mint Chocolate Chip. Everything was delicious. Their small bowls or cones have generous helpings! I might try the sampler next time. Will definitely be back for more! Outdoor seating available."

I lived in brasil when i was 5-10 years old. My family ran a small clothing store in san paulo and right next door was a bakery/deli that sold sugar cane drinks, coxinha, and pastel. It was my favorite thing growing up. I havent been able to find a brasilian restaurant similar to my childhood memory until i came here. It brought joy to my taste buds as it remembered the taste of the crispy pastry and beef fillings in the pastel. The coxinha was also spot on. Lastly the rice in the picanha plate was perfectly seasoned as i remembered it. Thank you "taste of brazil" for bringing back some good memories. This place is authentic as it gets. Parking is no issue here. Atmosphere is a hole in the wall vibe where only local Brazilians go to. Food was all delicious. If i had to recommend one thing, get the beef pastel.

Loooooove the matcha here. My favorite drinks to get here are the blueberry matcha and the pandan matcha. I always get a large here because it's so good. The matcha flavor is present, not watered down at all. And the sweetness level is perfect for me. Service was quick even though there was a line of people ahead of me. Ambiance is nice and modern, good place for studying or hanging out with friends. Hard to find an open table here though, every time I'm here all the seats are taken.

I was up early and couldn't fall back asleep. I was also hungry for something other than Denny's or Norm's at 4am.Just after 4:30am, I looked on Yelp and found Better Buzz! The coconut buzz caught my eye, as that's my favorite flavor of anything sweet. I couldn't believe they open at 4:30am.I like the decor and overall vibes. The music was good too! High school days songs(Poison and Depeche Mode).I will likely become a regular here.

Got the vampiro juice and it was delicious! I would absolutely get again. However, the drinks are pretty pricey, so I wouldn't be able to come back often.

This coffee cafe is located in a plaza so there's plenty of parking. There is both inside seating as well as tables outside the shop.The patient fellow behind the counter was quietly nice while I looked over my choices. I selected a hot mocha latte and, additionally, a Biscoff cheesecake from the pastry case. It was early afternoon and only a few people sitting indoors so there were several empty tables for me to choose from to sit and enjoy my order.The cheesecake was superb. The cheesecake was deliciously sandwiched between a Biscoff crust and a thin caramel topping. It wasn't overly sweet and was the perfect accompaniment to my latte. While the mocha latte itself was smooth and ever-so-slightly sweet, the presence of a chocolate flavor was negligible. I'm not in this area often but would definitely recommend it as a comfortable spot to relax and enjoy an espresso drink and one of their many pastry options.

"This location is by far my favorite one yet! Compared to other Nekter locations, this one is so clean, order is ready on time, great customer service, and my drink always tastes fresh."
"One of my go to places for boba milk tea!I always order the Oreo slush- it's basically like a milk shake! So yummy!! I also like the strawberry one. The Thai tea is alright. My husband gets the milk tea drinks. He loves those. Service is always good. No issues there. Ambiance is a typical boba place. The boba is chewy and fresh at Fourtea."
"Holy shiet this Holy Sheep place is cute, has good drinks and soothing music. Came on a Sunday while waiting to pick up our order of chicken. The rose tea had a wonderful refreshing rose flavor that didn't taste artificial. The Vietnamese coffee was nice and strong. Service was good. Restroom is very clean."
"Their melt bagel is really good, must try!The bagel is soft and chewy, topped with lot of stringy cheese, crispy bacon and fresh avocado, and larva sour cream in the middle. the bagel was sliced to two pieces so you got two melt bagels so great value.I want some veggies so I added some arugula on the top. Perfect."
"Drink is consistent and food as good too. I always know what to expect. They Don't have a lot of staff so you'll have to wait a bit for your food but it's a small shop, so it's reasonable. I love their popcorn chicken"
"Both my fiance and I love this place and came back so many times when we were in OC. The mangoes are so fresh, flavorful perfectly ripe - the mango quality is just so much better than other mango dessert places I've been to. Our favorite mango desserts are the mango yogurt, mango romance, and mango mochis. Also loved the black sesame porridge which was perfectly thick and not too sweet - reminiscent of the ones in Hong Kong. There's tables outside with umbrellas which is a nice environment to eat in."
"This Jamba really beats out the other locations in the area. When you walk in it immediately smells really clean, you can tell they keep the place in good shape. The guy that was working was very kind and attentive, I have a dairy allergy and got one of the shakes that is my go-to but he made sure I knew it included soy just in case I had any other allergies and I really appreciated that, I don't think any other location has ever said anything like that. Just shows they are looking out for people. The shake was fantastic, it's literally the same one I always get but it seemed to be better blended than usual. I would definitely choose this location over the others!"
"I love love love this place.!! (Pros & Cons)+Their smoothies and teas are amazing. +They taste like a fast food smoothie only tilt doesnt give you a stomach ache or a bad feeling. +if you get the combo, it's a meal replacement.+It helps with your immunity, collagen, and the drinks can even have energy shots. +I have paid a lot of money ahead of time so I can drink here right away and i love it. I want them more often! -If you have an Android theres difficulty ordering ahead of time....every time I try the app doesnt work. Not amazon friendly.-They close too early (5pm weekdays) and on Saturdays they even close...and theres no hope for Sundays ..they are completely closed. -The worst thing is that when you calll... the owner answers...SOOO you cant order over the phone...I miss many days because I have to drive a ways just to get there and I cant order over the phone (nor online)...what a bummer bc I love this place when I am able to have it!!I wish they had more locations, but I will leave with a Pro (+), the customer service is amazing in person. They are all so friendly and polite."
"Stopped in for a quick snack before a concert at the HOB and was pleasantly surprised! Quality of the tea was perfect, not too sweet. The staff were helpful and kind when we were asking questions about the bubble waffle. And the bubble waffle itself (we got Nutella and strawberry) was delicious! I've had soggy ones at other places and the texture here was totally perfect. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a nice taste. It was also a good spot to sit around and people watch hahaWe'll definitely come back!"
"Excited for Better Buzz coming to OC! Loved that you are getting the business and attention! All my friends are posting about you. Location is right off the street. There is a drive thru, indoor and outdoor seating, restrooms, and a lively vibe that would be great to take a break in and catch up with friends. I saw some people doing work/studying. There were several outlets if needed. I love their app that allows for ordering ahead and updates on their new items. Very clean indoor and outdoor areas. Friendly staff that are killin' it. Got my drink in like 5 minutes.GG is the girl btw! Recommended the Lavender Tea Latte and added Vanilla Cold Cream, it is chef's kiss exactly what I was looking for. It is an iced drink."
"We have been here a few times and they have great bagels and sandwiches. Sometimes there are busy so we ordered door dash pickup and was ready within 15 to 20 min. Very easy to order and pick up. Lots of tables for eating outside or inside !"
"I was worried about coming to this location because of the poor reviews but I had a great experience. Staff was friendly, quick to make my juice, and my juice tasted just as expected. Couldn't ask for more. I will continue to come to this location."
"Stopped at this local shop to grab a protein smoothie for lunch. I got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch with a skinny shot and my husband got the Fruity Pebble with a skinny shot. Very delicious! Owner was super sweet and friendly. Great little hidden gem, definitely would go back. I want to get my hands on a lit tea!"
"Best service ever. Laura was very kind and helpful. I love my Mango smoothie.Nice and clean place.Easy parking too."
"I love love love crepes. I found out about the existence of this cafe when I visited my friend, who lives in this Irvine company apartment village. I never knew they have shops in these mega apartment complexes. The fact that they had crepes was a calling card for me to come back and come back I did. I ordered the fruit crepe with Nutella and pistachio sauce, and it has ruined all crepe experiences for me. This is the most amazing and delicious crepe I've had ever. The crepe itself is on the chewy side, which is so good. The sauces were decadent and I would be lying if I didn't say I was licking them off the packaging. The fruit was fresh and abundant. When I came back in and took some pics for the Yelp, I told the employee that this was the best crepe I've ever had and he recommended the Belgium one for next time as it has Belgium chocolate on it along with bananas and strawberries. I told him, why wait, and I ordered the Belgium to go. I did split it up into 3 servings for the week, but the chocolate sauce is devine. They serve illy coffee, which complements the crepes. I am beyond excited I found this amazing crepe destination. Parking is tricky on street level, but there is garage level visitor parking also. Service is amazing. Outdoor seating is comfortable. Please visit to create your own experience."
"Tram Cream Coffee 3 is the place to go if you want a unique coffee experience. It's the ideal place to relax because of the welcoming, relaxed ambiance that has a touch of Vietnamese coffee culture. This place has exceptional egg coffee that is rich, creamy, and well-balanced. Another delicious delicacy is the little cocoa egg coffee with coffee jelly, which has a chocolatey flavor without being too strong. You feel completely at home thanks to the kind and attentive service. A lovely seating area and a welcoming open exterior are among the comfortable and varied seating options. Because it is located in a small strip mall, parking can be a bit of a challenge, but the effort is well worth it."
"Stopped by to get some Boba and ended up ordering the waffle. I'm very picky with boba and hands down this is the top 5 on my list now. The waffle is also amazing. The service was very fast and the vibe was good."
"when we got there, there was no one there. The food was very good and fattening and it didn't say it would come with ice cream and whipped cream. It was really good and also their savory crêpes are on the list. Really good recommend to come here."
"Great little grocery store near our hotel with tons of healthy options. There were prepared foods and a little cafe area too. The produce section had lots of organic options. The staff helped me to find a site fix item and they knew right where to look. Great resource in the area."
"It was my first time visiting Shirley's Bagels and it was great! We arrived around 7:45 AM and there was already a line. I knew it was a popular spot. Food was fresh. Service was quick. The only thing keep in mind is tables are very limited. It's feels more of a to go place but if you happen to grab one of the tables, you'll have a good time!"
"Amazing Acai bowl!!Best quick lunch around Lake Forest.With an amazing and friendly staff too. I just love the place!!"
"I've been to the Acai Republic in Newport, so I was really excited to check this one out as well because I had a great experience. The layers of paradise lets you choose an açai base (127cals) and then it has layers of passionfruit cream (220 calories) and then you can pick two toppings of fruit. There's strawberries, bananas, blueberries, pineapple, and mango (184calories.) Leslie you have the option to add honey or agave or both. The coolest part about this though is they have the same ownership as the MMA studio next-door. I noticed the Acai Republic sign and juice bar inside of the studio and I went to check it out. It's a really great location to grab a smoothie, juice, açai bowl or pitaya bowl after a workout."
"Drinks taste fresh and can be easily be modified for sweetness and alternative milks. I'm a fan of their milk teas (large selection of tea flavors) and their fruit slushes. Service is always spot on and quick!"
