Chipotle San Diego Reviews
I loveeee this place! Such a great vibe. Honestly, best part was the customer service (I’m pretty sure her name was Zoe?)! Her energy’s infectious! Great way to start my day. Coffee’s amazing btw
I had the best Barista experience ever! Zoe was so kind, so funny, and made a great coffee. It was such a kind interaction, she made my morning so much better, and I was having a rough day. She really cheered me Up, and gave me the confidence to take on the day. She deserves everything!
Absolutely loved this coffee shop! The coffee tasted delicious, and I was really happy with it. The café itself is beautiful inside—such a cool, welcoming spot to hang out. Zoe took our order and was incredibly kind and helpful. She even gave our baby a little “coffee” made of whipped cream, which was such a sweet touch. I’d definitely go back. Great service, great coffee, and a great spot!!
I am a frequent customer of this better buzz location and I can honestly say it has some of the kindest staff members and warmest atmosphere of any coffee shop in the area! I come early in the mornings and the baristas are always very sweet, especially Zoe. She always has a smile on her face and starts my day off right with her excellent customer service. Definitely my go-to spot from now on! :)
Alyssa truly went above and beyond in a way that deserves to be recognized. I placed an order through Uber Eats, and unfortunately there was an issue with my order. When I contacted Uber Eats for help, the situation was dismissed and no effort was made to fix the problem, which was incredibly frustrating and stressful. I decided to contact the store directly, and Alyssa answered the phone. From the very beginning, Alyssa was extremely kind, patient, understanding, and genuinely apologetic. Instead of brushing the issue off, Alyssa listened carefully and immediately worked to make things right. What made this experience truly exceptional is the level of care Alyssa showed regarding my specific needs. I am disabled and have many food allergies, which makes ordering food safely very challenging. Alyssa took the time to ensure my meal was not only corrected, but made accessible and safer for me. That level of compassion, awareness, and attention to detail is rare and deeply appreciated. A situation that started out frustrating was completely turned around because of Alyssa’s amazingness and kindness. Customer service like this makes a huge difference, especially for people with disabilities and dietary restrictions. I am incredibly grateful and thankful for Alyssa’s help, and this experience has left a lasting positive impression. Thank you, Alyssa, for truly caring and for going above and beyond. This is what 5-star service feels like!
I recently visited this location for the first time in a while. Elliot was very kind to recommend a few options and were really knowledgeable of the menu. I really appreciate their time but also being very welcoming. They also made my drink which was AMAZING! Horchata Ice Latte is a fave.
I have been coming here since college great place to grab coffee and study/work. My most recent visit, I made a mistake an ordered at the wrong location, I called that location, so they wouldn’t make my order. I walked in to the Hillcrest location, I explained my situation they were so kind and were able to take care of my order. Great service and good drinks. My go to is the best drink ever ( 1/2 sweet).
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Better Buzz Coffee – Hillcrest I had an amazing experience at Better Buzz Hillcrest thanks to their awesome employee named Effie. This was my first time at a Better Buzz and From the moment I walked in, he was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping me choose the perfect drink. His customer service is outstanding, professional, upbeat, and attentive in a way that really makes the visit feel special. Effie’s drink and food recommendations were spot-on, I ordered the pistachio croissant and the snickerdoodle latte and my order came out perfectly. You can tell he takes pride in his work and cares about creating a great experience for every customer. Everything was fresh and the atmosphere was great. If you’re in Hillcrest, definitely stop by Better Buzz 😃
I recently visited San Diego and found Better Buzz in Hillcrest. The coffee and food was fantastic and the service was extraordinary! I enjoyed it so much that I went back for a second visit on my trip. On both occasions I had a delicious iced coffee and tried two of their breakfast sandwiches; super great. The Barista's name, that made my coffees, was Auston. She was very friendly and seemed to love her job. I will definitely go back whenever I'm in town.
I’m from out of state and, until my visit to San Diego, had never even heard of Better Buzz. I was pleasantly surprised, as I’m not a big fan of other coffee places. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed it so much that I went back a second time in the few days I was in town. The design of the space made for plenty of seating options and the atmosphere was chill. The employees were very pleasant and appeared to be having fun. There was a clear camaraderie among the Baristas as they hustled to get orders out quickly. All were exceptional, especially Auston who greeted us with the biggest and best smile. In addition to the excellent coffees, I had the avocado toast the first time there and an almond pastry the second time. Both were excellent. I highly recommend Better Buzz. I don’t think you’d be disappointed.
After visiting the Carlsbad and La Jolla branches, I wasn't really expecting much from this location but am pleased to say that this is my favourite branch. Such an interesting building inside with plenty of seating on 3 floors. The coffee was served piping hot in a mug, and the zucchini loaf slice was absolutely delicious.
I've always used the PB location, but this was my first time at the Hillcrest. I parked on the street. The spacious, high-ceilinged space is spacious and relaxing. It's amazing that there's a second floor too👍🏼I'd love to come again. The coffee is much better than Starbucks'. The matcha latte was extremely sweet, so if you want it less sweet, it's best to ask for it.
I really liked the atmosphere of this coffee shop. There is a lot of space, two floors. Interesting style, not loud and pleasant music. Nice staff and delicious pastries. There are good teas. But the coffee was not good. It was bitter and too hot. The coffee is not very good quality for me.
