"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!"

Miss S. "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"

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 think it's better than the ones in Hawaii because you can actually taste the macadamia! Will return to try their Matcha Series."

★★★★☆ 4.2 (214) • $$$

Jaymes M. "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."

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."

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!"

(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.

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!"

Leeza D. "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."

Mark L. "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."

Laila A. "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."
