They have a pistachio croissant that is very delicious and a guava cake that also is just as good

I am not from here but I visit this area often. It was my first time trying out this place and the drink "best drink ever" was really good but my wife's lid was not closed perfectly and ended up burning herself with extremely hot coffee. The customer service needs some work for sure. There was no customer at this time and I was trying to Togo the order. Outside line has Togo line and I was just waiting, there was 3 baristas inside and no one looks at my way. That's okay, so I just went inside to order. However, instead of welcoming smile, they were just talking to eachother and I felt ungrateful vibes. Not to mention they didn't even close the lid tightly and my wife's hand got injured. Almost felt like it was intentionally done. Based on the yelp review, I see that the owner cares about the store and constantly replying to the one star reviews. Good thing you are listening to your customers. Please train your employees to have better customer service. Some customers don't have tolerance to let go of things like this especially when they are injured from it. You have nice store with great drink. Don't let the customer service to ruin your business. Many people including myself put customer service above everything. read more

Did you hear that!? This ringing in my ear it just won't stop! What I've come to understand is that this buzzing happens to be coming from the hottest new coffee spot in Carlsbad and oh my fucking god, was it worth it! So watch this, the sis, my lil phew' Gus, and me walk to up the counter after waiting in the impressively long ass line to be greeted by the homie at the register. Dude was on point with erythang and made our Better Buzz experience legit cuh, like from the smallest details in that business I was taken back. The striping on the walls made you feel like you was in some modern ass honey comb, to the stickers at the register that my lil phew' was trippin on, and the coffee... bruh the fucking coffee hit the g-spot ngl... This bitch smacked and erythang about it made me wanna be like, yo I'm come back here when I can afford this joint again cuz it was a lil pricey yk but fuck it like it was worth it on some real shit. 7/10 no no 9/10 no no 10/5 stars for this spot. And they even put the beach next to this location which blew my fucking mind! HOW TF U GET THE BEACH THAT CLOSE TO A BETTA BUZZ?!? read more

best food best prices and always sweet!!!!! carols energy is so sweet thank you for being my fav store energy is the best the service is quick and everyone's sweet read more

Spotted this place while driving, so decided to make a stop before heading to lunch. The theme of the place is really cute, but the coffee was nothing special. I tried the mazapan cold brew which tasted more like peanut butter protein powder shake than coffee. I ordered through the walk-up window. The workers were nice and my order was ready in about 5 minutes. read more

Me and my girlfriend came here today and ordered the bacon ciabatta. We asked them to sub the chipotle sauce with a garlic sauce and they mistakingly forgot. He apologized immediately, made a new one, and refunded the whole sandwich. Fantastic customer service. Thank you so much read more

One of my favorite coffee shops to study at. Even when they are going through the busiest rushes. They still interact with me in kindness and paitence. Their coffee is good, and the atmosphere is well lit. read more

My review is more on service. Not the friendliest bunch but the bigger complaint is that they have the outside line open and the inside line. A few of us stood in the outside line for a good 10 min before the guy came to the window and said it wasn't open. No sign or anything saying it wasn't open. The rope for the line and the sign said line here. It's fine if they get busy and want to shut the outside line down but have a sign stating that it is closed. Very frustrating to stand for 10 min and finally have them tell us it's closed. ( Or just have one line all of the time) read more

I came to Better Buzz and was upset by my poor choice of drink but Joe came to my rescue! He offered myself and friends a different drink and brought it out immediately. Shout out to Joe! read more

Thank you. Great customer service. I had a question and Nicole, Olivia and Roland were terrific. Love this place. Soo much better coffee and service than Starbucks. read more

I live in Carlsbad Village and Better Buzz is a frequent stop on my morning walk with my dog Piper. The service team is amazing and I'm usually greeted by Carol. Love this place! read more

I don't get the hype. This was a coffee shop that focused on the sugar content and not the quality of coffee. I asked the girl at the front to try a coffee that highlighted the coffee and wasn't overly sweet. She was very stumped! I got the nest drink ever, half sweet, and was underwhelmed. The long and wait were extreme long. I also order a chocolate shake with whey protein, and it was awful. I gave 3 stars based on the acai bowl being fresh and tasty. read more

Coffee and pistachio croissant were great! The service was quick and very friendly. Set up inside is very clean.

ordered 2 better breakfast sandwiches and a best coffee ever drink; received the coffee within 5 minute YET didn't receive the sandwiches until another 20 minutes with ZERO apology or concern........grub is good but your not that good to wait so long without any concern read more

Pastries and staff are lovely! However not impressed with the coffee or lack of. $8 for a fancy steamed milk i can't even taste the coffee and Starbucks roast wakes me up more than this coffee. Also very odd the Mexican mocha has peanuts in it lol read more

Forever my favorite coffee shop in the world! The chai latte and pumpkin chai latte are simply the best!

Life is better buzzed and especially in Carlsbad! Let's "Bee" honest the drinks, food/pastries, and the atmosphere here is just what you need to start your day. The staff here does a great job of being on top of it at this location. They are all very personable and know their customers well. Attentive to drink preferences and they want it to be right for you and will go above and beyond to do so. My husband and I love Diana and Dylan so a BIG shout out to those two who bust their butts to get this place up and running successfully and for their countless time they pour into this place to for their customers to start their days off right!!

So my drinks here always come out delicious and I do appreciate that. My biggest problem with this location is that it is busy and the workers just talk or gossip with each other vice put in work. I've had shorter lines where I think "this shouldn't take to long, there are only 2 people ahead of me" and it still takes 20 minutes. A lot of talking, a lot of standing around. I think the manager could be a lot more on top of it. I'll continue to come here because I do think my coffee and drinks are made well, but with that being said if I'm pressed on time I'd rather go to Starbucks drive through with a 10 car line vice here. read more

This is my favorite Better Buzz, there's enough space to work and socialize and the countertops are gorgeous. Food and drinks are on point. The manager, Diana, helped me out and she was very kind and diligent. Come to this better buzz!!! read more

Never waited so long for a coffee and a food item (not even good at that) - Super bummed and won't be coming back. Seems to be just like a instagramable environment and ambiance and also sticks out like a sore thumb in the village. Bring back Cessy's :'( read more

Jonah, Roland, and Matt are the best. Great service and super fun. Cappuccino was not good. But if you like Sweet drinks and nice baristas this is a great spot. read more

Great overall experience, Roland, Nicole, and Alivia were really buzzing, making the store feel welcoming as ever. Definitely coming back!

Ordered "the best drink ever" was pretty good! Ambiance was a popular spot feel - love that can order inside or at a window outside. Service was average - did not wait long and friendly staff. read more

The pistachio croissant was good, and the coffee hits! It's a beach town, so the vibes are super chill. Despite being busy, we didn't have to wait very long. Life really is better buzzed! read more

Ambience and coffee were perfect Enjoyed this shop a lot. Parking was a bit tough but worth it to find a spot read more

Very good coffee and definitely some coffee options you won't see elsewhere. We got the horchata latte and it was really good. Make sure you get a straw and mix it very well otherwise it tasted a little weird at first. read more

Came to better buzz because my cousin Jason said it was the best coffee he's ever had. Let me tell ya, he was right. I had a great conversation with the lady who handed me my drink, super charming lady. I posted this location on my story to let everyone know that this is the best! Thanks Carlsbad. Also everyone try the turkey pesto sammy.. top notch ! read more

We got here on a sunday at 4:50pm we are first in line but the blonde barista she made her friends drinks first for 3 free drinks and 1 pastry for free they are next in line after us. I was waiting for my drink and they didn't make our drinks first read more

Do not order food through the app.... ...,you pay, if they don't have it or are REALLY late with it.....you just don't get it with no refund. read more

Great espresso drink, nice seating area, but unable to access bathroom X 25 minutes due to door lock not working. Reported it, but limited staff made it clear issue was definitely not on their priority. Finally staff came & nicely let me in. Bathroom smelled like someone had urinated all over floor, t.p. roll running out. Just a disgusting restroom experience. For that reason doubt I'd return. read more

Better Buzz Coffee Carlsbad - Bathroom door not working - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carlsbad, California

!!!!!DO NOT ORDER ONLINE!!!!!!!! They prioritize the in-person orders, I waited 25 minutes for my drink that I ordered ahead of time while I watched them pump out orders for the people in line. 15 in person orders per 1 online. Not worth it. Need a better system. read more

There are a lot of outside tables and chairs and you can spend hours enjoying the atmosphere.

$19.95 for the worst iced coffee & stale cookies we've ever experienced. After a lenghthy wait (only 4 customers in line) the 'iced coffee' was warm with a sad piece of ice floating around. Also, sickly sweet as the barrista put too much syrup. Cookies were stale and flavorless. read more

Normally love this place but there was a massive hair in my sandwich this morning. Nothings more gross than hair in food.

Unfortunately, we had a bad experience here. 35 minutes to get our coffee. Waiting and waiting for our name to be called. I had to ask an employee if they called my name yet. No, he said. I see 2 coffees sitting on the counter for quite a while. He said , oh, these are yours. Took lid off, and both were cold. I told the guy they were cold now, and he said, "no their not, they are double cupped".....I said, Sir, they have been sitting here for over a 1/2 hour, he dumped them out, and made us 2 more. No apologies either. Our blueberry muffin that I had to ask for was so dry, I couldn't eat it. Sad... read more

10/10 great service Carol is the best never want to go anywhere else. Such a cute place and great vibes.

The coffee is fine, but it is just terribly run. It isn't just that the lines are long and slow, but the number of people that didn't get their orders, got partial orders or skipped completely was mind blowing. More common than not. They have one guy working the front who is totally overwhelmed and becomes pretty rude. Don't come here - so many options. read more

Coffee (simply coffee) was really great. However, the point of sale (pos) service was really poor. The young lady at pos was busy retrieving and heating pastries. She basically ignored the 4 or 5 people in line. The employees downstream were busy making foo-foo drinks. The system is really out of whack. To top it off, if someone just wants coffee, you have to wait in another line until someone pulls the ticket and pours the coffee. I'm not for getting ahead of others, but it takes 15 seconds to pour a cup of coffee. You shouldn't have to wait 5 minutes. read more

Absolutely love it, one of my favorite drinks is the Cinnamon cream cold brew. Highly recommend Better Buzz Anything from their breakfast options and pastries is so good and the açaí bowl one of my faves too! The staff is very welcoming and friendly and Diana is amazing! So happy for her and running such a great store! The vibe & location is great! Try it and support ..you won't be disappointed! read more
