    First time here and it's BUZZIN'! Had to get up early and needed some coffee. This is the place. Cute neighborhood on the Coronado strip. Great people watching. Ordered a Mexican Mocha and banana chocolate chip loaf slice. YUM! It was busy but still fast service. Buzz buzz

    Cool vibe !

    Better Buzz always hits the spot and this location is no different. Walking distance from the beach- the vibe is perfect for the beach town. We got three drinks- the signature drink, hot Americano and a cold brew with cinnamon cream. After trying the cold brew it felt different but my son kept it and drank some more but after about 10 -15 minutes he again said the taste was off. We walked back to Better Buzz and they literally agreed to make his drink again even before he could finish asking and this time it was perfect- exactly how it had tasted in the past. So 5 stars all around- drinks, ambience, location and service!

    Love the local feel of this place. Multitude of options. Breakfast bites are now on the menu. Free water fountain gives an Italian cafe feel. Seating indoors and outside. Usually have a lot of baristas so even with a line it moves quick.

    These folks are so nice at this little coffee shop. The coffees are delicious. And they are very quick and very efficient. They have some cool merch. Not a ton of places to sit down, but they do have some and it's very dog friendly. We like that.

    My friend and I tried a refresher and a regular matcha. Both of them were sooooooo sweet it wasn't drinkable with all that sugar. Knowing that I'd probably just ask for no sugar or the least they can do. The service was good with whoever took our order! It's a cute place by the beach so we just went in to check it out. The sandwich we got too was tasty and pretty big. Not sure how their coffee is but anything with sweetener in it, modify it! trust me!

    I always make it a point to visit a Better Buzz whenever I'm in San Diego. My husband and I were staying at the Hotel del Coronado during our most recent visit and I was so glad they have a location within walking distance of the hotel. There seemed to be a good mix of both locals and tourists when we visited. I ordered an Iced Regular Banana Pudding Best Drink Ever with an extra shot ($6.69 + $1.00) and it was very tasty. It kept me buzzing throughout the day. I also ordered the Better Breakfast Sandwich ($9.99) and it was a solid sandwich. Christopher took our order and he was friendly. It was busy, but our drinks were prepared in a timely manner. The food took a while, but someone in the back kitchen actually makes the sandwiches vs. some other places that simply reheat.

    Tell me that it looks good and I'll call you a liar.

    I wouldn't have expected the Better Buzz in Coronado Island to have the worst avocado toast of my life. But it was. Hardly any avocado, spread thin. Chewy bread with bad flavor. Hardly any seeds! They call it the "three-seed avocado toast" What seeds? Look at old photos to see how it used to look. Now they are just ripping us all off and don't even care! It's the most simple thing but they can't make it right. Everything else is a sugar bomb or contains preserved meat. The one slightly healthy thing they have tastes horrible. Never again. Two stars for the regular coffee. The seats near the back smelled like homeless.

    Chris always makes my day better and it's not just me. I see the way he treats every customer with the same kindness and energy. He's an absolutely amazing person outgoing, genuine, and always has a positive attitude. Honestly, who wouldn't want to interact with someone like Chris...His customer service truly stands out. The drinks & food are always on point. My favorite sandwich is the turkey brie, and of course, I love the açaí bowls.

    Service was fast even with how packed it was! My drink came out great! Inside is very small and gets crammed easily but they were able to get guests in and out quick with good service. And it was still very clean with how busy it was!

    Yummy!!

    Julia assisted me tonight and she was so kind and generous! I got a free pastry and chose the chocolate muffin that was calling my name lol The chai latte was on point and the chocolate muffin was warm and fresh

    Good. coffee, lives up to the brand name. A halfcaff almond milk latte was $7.50 large. Nice clean interior, good lighting, open, clean restrooms

    Came on a Sunday afternoon and it was quite busy! The space is nice and open. We got the horchata iced latte and banana matcha, which were both good.

    The only reason why I gave this a 3 star is because the service sucks! It took forever for my drink to be made while 6 people that order after me received theirs. They took their time on the hot drinks and prioritize the cold one. The coffee itself was a 5/5. The ambiance was modern and cute but would have a better structure on the line when waiting and picking up your coffee

    Does anyone know how much sugar content is in the lavender latte?

    I don't know the answer to that question, but when I ordered, I asked for 1/2 the sweetener, and it was perfect.

This past Sunday, I decided to head over for a morning walk and finally stopped in again. The shop is pretty small with limited seating, so it's not really a place to hang out. It seems more like a grab-and-go coffee spot. There aren't many great coffee shop options in this part of Coronado, so I can definitely see why it's popular with both locals and tourists. I arrived just before the morning rush, so I was able to order and get my drink almost immediately. The cashier was super friendly and welcoming, which made for a great first impression. I also really appreciated that they offer a military discount--it's always nice to see businesses supporting the military community. I ordered a medium cold brew with coconut cold foam and asked for very light ice. I was so happy they actually listened! So many coffee shops still fill the cup with ice even when you ask for light ice, and I hate watered-down coffee. This one was perfect. The coconut cold foam was absolutely delicious and added just the right amount of sweetness to complement the bold flavor of the cold brew without overpowering it. I also love that they serve organic coffee. I'll definitely have to remember to stop by more often whenever I'm in Coronado in the mornings. Next time, I need to try one of their donuts too!

Like several other places on this street, this place gets slammed constantly, especially on weekends. Even so, the customer service is super fast and friendly. They really try to stay on top of my coffee cup. The coffee itself is a really smooth and balanced flavor. The traditional diner appearance is also great. The only reason I would give 4 stars would be the chicken in the chicken and waffles.....which is not even bad. I have high standards for this in particular. Thinking about it again, there's a lot of bad chicken in this country, but I've rarely had bad chicken in chicken and waffles. Maybe it's because a breakfast place wouldn't attempt it in the first place if they couldn't make it well. I found this portion to be a bit light on the actual meat. The breading is excellent, but I can see that the meat starts to become drier in the sections where the meat is thicker. And, of course, still a bit lean. I believe chicken for chicken and waffles should be dark meat, like any self respecting Asian should. Lmao. Grits were good too.

The cinnamon roll was a total waste, took it home and so bland, lacked any flavor in the roll itself, the frosting was the kids favorite. For a cinnamon roll to have a splash of cinnamon in it is bizarre. It felt like Clayton's was cutting corners hoping people didn't notice, while still charging a lot for their shrinkflation. Service was ok, it took forever for the server to just come up to greet us, to the point the hostess went and got waters for us. Again not the normal for this establishment, but still very blah and disappointing. For how expensive things are I would not eat here again. Normally we would visit numerous times in during or time here.

It's tucked into a cute neighborhood near Logan Heights. We came around 9 a.m., and street parking was easy to find. There was already a line when we arrived, but it moved pretty quickly.

The matcha was creamy, rich, and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. One thing to know if you're ordering matcha or a latte--they only offer oat milk, not almond milk. My husband loved his coffee and said the espresso was smooth, flavorful, and let the coffee shine without being overcomplicated. The shop itself is really cool too. There's an art installation inside, an outdoor patio with additional seating, and I noticed quite a few people picking up bags of espresso beans while we were there.

Also a little bit of a pet peeve when they don't fill a drink all the way up, especially when I didn't adjust ice level.

Since we had never tried a European-style café before, we thought we'd give it a shot. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Everything from the food to the ambiance and overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The paninis were unbelievably bland -- they really need some kind of sauce or spread because they had almost no flavor at all. On top of that, the prices were surprisingly high for what we received. The desserts were around $11 each, and they didn't even taste fresh. The bread pudding was so hard we could barely get our fork through it. The only redeeming thing about this place is the location. Otherwise, the tables and floors looked unclean, which made the whole experience even more off-putting. This restaurant really needs to revisit its menu and overall upkeep because, as it stands, it's not a place we'd return to.
