Absolutely amazing staff. The sandwich melts in your mouth — easily one of the best I’ve ever had. And the latte? Insanely good. Hands down my favorite spot in San Diego.❤️‍🔥

It was our first time visiting this location and we had great service. She had a smoothie and latte and they were both delicious! The croissant was light and buttery one of the best that we’ve ever had! Highly recommend!

We always stop here when visiting LA Jolla. The sea lions are just a 5 minute walk away. Drinks are good, breakfast sandwich was hot & tasty. Their iced horchata is GREAT

Had a great service experience! Great feta avocado toast. Fresh, zesty and an explosion of flavor. But especially grateful for the help I recieved from one of the cashiers, Esther. Her lovely smile and generous advice really made the wait worth it. This store is lucky to have someone like her.

I love their banana bread. I went in today and the barista was very nice and suggested the vanilla bean latte. It was the perfect amount of sweetness for me. Their team was so nice and the banana bread was amazing! Will come back. Also they did amazing during the parade!!

Cashier was so nice and attentive!!! The place was lively and friendly. Excellent service and we were given our coffee and food quickly. Will definitely be coming back!

I absolutely love the coffee here. I always stop by several times when I'm in town for work. I hope they expand to Colorado someday!

Stopped by a few times drive through and dined in and was satisfied. Small space with drive thru, indoor and outdoor seating, a nice choice if you’re looking for good coffee and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The drinks are consistently well-crafted, with plenty of options ranging from classic espresso drinks to fun specialty coffees. The staff is friendly and keeps things moving smoothly, even during busy times both drive thru and inside the store. The space itself is clean, bright, and modern, making it a nice spot to sit and catch up with friends or get a little work done.

Honestly I couldn't be happier with a local coffee shop that turned out to be a san diego startup from a coffee cart to so many places.This is by far the best location of better buzz.Whether it be at 4 a m or at 805 p m.You're gonna get a great espresso drink. Cold brew to frappe they got you covered. I need more zipper hoodie with designs on back 2xl lol

We arrived close to closing and Brody was still providing the BEST genuine service. Talked to us about his location, gave great recommendations. Was honestly so kind and smiled the entire interaction! He laughed and made us feel right at home! Even though I am sure he was ready to be done for the day - he never rushed us, or made us feel hurried! If I lived closer this would be my go to spot! Keep smiling Brody & doing a great job!

Luke and Bert were amazing!! I’ve been to many better buzz locations including the headquarters and I’ve never had customer service the way Luke and Bert provided! Truly amazing service I will forever come back to this location even though it’s a farther drive

My first trip to the coffee shop and all I can say Starbucks has more threats in the coffee market. I tried their iced coffee and the turkey brie breakfast sandwich. The iced coffee was strong even with the ice in the cup...which I like. The sandwich is balanced with flavors. It does have arugula, so you don't like the bitter taste you might want to ask them to skip it. For me, it's a nice touch. The staff were super friendly even at 5 in the morning. I love the aesthetics of the dining room. It's very "poetic"in the early morning and at night. Will definitely go back again when I am in town again. One thing I would like to see they work though... Less plastic. :)

If you’re a student and want a good drink and a nice ambience to sit down and do work, this is the place. I walked in here and was immediately greeted by the barista working the register. I remember her name was Ashley. She was of great service to me and made me feel very welcomed. Im not much of a coffee drinker, so she gave me multiple great options, and i ended up choosing the conscious chocolate! Which is a chocolate protein shake (so good you have to try it). For what you are getting it’s worth every penny. I then sat down at their high top tables, where i was able to plug in my computer and get some work done! She had also recommended to me earlier about their food items (which they make fresh every day), so an hour later i went back up and got one of their ham and cheese croissants and added an egg to it (which she recommended and it was definitely the move) and it tasted amazing. All in all, I would highly recommend coming here to either get a drink, some food, or get some work done! I will definitely be back here again soon!

Soooo good! The feta avocado toast was absolutely delicious. Their new Dweet Heat Maple Croissant was a hit with my husband and all the coffee options are great. I prefer less sweet, so I typically cut that in half, but they get it and it never disappoints. Wish Better Buzz would come to Venice Beach

I've been coming here for so long and never wrote a review, but after today's visit I just had to! I came through the drive through and they were so fast and friendly, and the young man who took my order was very sweet, I think he said his name was Bryan. Bryan brought me a menu when I said I was thinking about trying something new and he eventually helped me decide on the caramel vanilla latte- very yummy! I'll definitely be coming back to get buzzed! lol!

Great little coffee shop with friendly staff. It’s got an old beach house vibe. The drive thru is fast even though they’re really busy in the mornings. Loved the pumpkin best drink!

Seng Yang

This place is great with many great options! Day 1 I had their coconut coffee and it was really good. Day 2 I wanted to try an energy drink and the lavender energy drink did not disappoint!! It tasted really good and not too strong! The line does get very busy for drive thru, but it does move fairly fast. One of the best spots to try!

Veronica Galvis

Every time I visit San Diego I stop at this Better Buzz for my matcha with coconut milk. The staff is so sweet and the drinks are delicious. Sofia took care of me today at the drive through and I loved her bubbly, kind, energetic personality!

We had a lovely breakfast at this coffee shop! The food was delicious — we especially enjoyed the Acai Bowl and the Better Breakfast sandwiches. The service was great, and the coffee with caramel was incredibly tasty. The atmosphere inside was cozy and clean, with plenty of seating and a nice view to enjoy while eating. The prices were very reasonable — for two people, we paid $52 for an Acai Bowl, two sandwiches, and drinks. Overall, a great spot for breakfast or a coffee break. Highly recommended!

We were in town for an event and our hotel happened to be across from here so we thought we would try it out. We were so pleased, as the whole experience was exceptional. Customer service was always friendly, both at the till and when we picked up our order at the window. We got the yogurt bowl, which filled us up all day!, the chai tea latte (best my husband has ever had), feta avocado toast (chefs kiss), chocolate muffin, and lavender hot chocolate. Amazing experience and we really hope they can make it up to LA sometime, you would have lifetime customers ;) Next time we’re in San Diego, will definitely be back.

Stayed 7 days in San Diego and walked here each morning to have their amazing lattes, drip coffee, cold brew, matcha and tried their croissant flavors and loved their zucchini walnut vegan muffin. Rich creamy spicy pumpkin lattes and dark roast is rich and full bodied coffee flavor. Great service. Smooth coffee. Also hung out inside for an hour talking as a family. Great local vibe and place to get coffee!

Stopped in at Better Buzz while waiting to meet up with a friend. This location in Pt Loma has a busy drive thru service and parking is limited to the streets around the area so it can be a little difficult. The inside is brightly lit and cute. I asked for a suggestion from the barista of something strong yet also sweet and was recommended a Moroccan Spice drink. It’s basically a shaken espresso with spices and heavy cream on top. I ordered it iced and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely will be stopping back for more next time I’m in the area!

I passed this small beautiful cafe couple times from my hotel during my stay, I decided to give it a shot on my last day in San Diego. It is a well designed, well organized local chained cafe (SD area). I was there around lunch hour, and full of staff in their counter. I ordered Americano, and Matcha Buzzed. They tasted good. No complaints at all.

Fast and efficient service and good options for a fast break. The music was SUPER loud, so the atmosphere isn't inviting and welcoming. That's the reason why I gave them 4 stars. It is perfect to grab an go but not so good to dine in. It is a famous coffee chain in SD area, I was impressed with the drive thru line. I had a greek yogurt bowl, it was good and very well served. My husband ordered an acai bowl which was good. We also had mocha, which was a little sweet for out taste. They have a good variety on menu: sandwiches, bowls, pastries and obviously coffee drinks. I recommend the place if you are looking for something fast and good to grab and go.

Honestly overhyped. The coffee itself was super mid. The location isn’t even that close to the beach. Can definitely get better coffee with less of a line/wait time elsewhere.

Great customer service they were so kind, but they did mess up my order. I got a nitro cold brew and thought it tasted off but it was my first time at better buzz. So recently went to another better buzz in mission valley and ordered a nitro cold brew again just to give it another chance. The mission valley better buzz was great, nothing wrong with it at all. I realize now that the La Jolla better buzz just gave me a regular cold brew. I am happy I tried better buzz again though it was just this location they made a mistake on since.

My first time trying a Better Buzz. The location is great. But oh wow the coffee is horrible. Perhaps if you get flavored drinks or some of their special drinks they will be alright. However, if you just like good coffee don’t bother. I’m considering just throwing mine out.

Well, Better Buzz is known for its exceptional product and customer service. However, this particular location fell short in amenities- the internet. The internet connectivity speed was significantly slower than expected for a coffee shop, creating an unproductive environment. This hindered my productivity, forcing me to deviate from my intended tasks. Additionally, parking is limited and parking area is very compact.

Order is wrong everything. Today had the "raspberry" scone...literally not one piece of fruit. They overcharged for my coffee, said I would get a refund(?) I will wait and see.

We had two açaí bowls and two flat whites. Unfortunately, the açaí was completely frozen, so we could not eat it for the first 25 minutes, and the flavor of the mixture was not so tasty. The flat white tasted more like a latte, and when I mentioned that it had too much milk, the barista seemed offended and started explaining that a flat white is simply without foam but has the same amount of milk. For a barista, it was quite surprising not to know the proper milk-to-coffee ratio for a flat white, and his reaction toward a customer was rather unprofessional. On a positive note, the girl working next to him was very kind and understanding and kindly made me a new one with less milk. The atmosphere is nice, and the café is conveniently located in the city center, very close to the sea.

My visit to the Better Buzz Coffee in Terminal 1 of the San Diego Airport yielded a genuinely disappointing experience across several key areas. While the location offers appreciated convenience, the execution of the product and service policies was subpar, leading me to a two-star rating. ​Firstly, I was highly frustrated by the refusal to serve my order in a personal reusable cup. This policy, applied to both a standard coffee and an espresso, is a significant step backward in environmental consciousness and convenience, especially at a major travel hub. In an era where sustainability is critical, accommodating reusable drinkware should be a standard practice. ​Furthermore, the quality of the coffee itself was underwhelming. The medium roast I ordered was noticeably weak and lacked the robust flavor profile expected from a specialty coffee vendor. This low quality was consistent with my observation of the equipment; the espresso setup appeared to be a low-effort, push-button automated system, similar to those used by larger, less artisan-focused chains. ​For the price point and the brand reputation, I expect better quality extraction, stronger flavor, and a commitment to sustainable service options. I hope the management addresses these issues to align the Terminal 1 location with higher service and quality standards.
