    We love this place! Today we have visited a location in Del Mar and we have enjoyed our lattes just chilling outside and sipping our lattes. Coffee is awesome! We have ordered a few different lattes from the menu and we can't choose the favorite one, because they are all delicious. We recommend: Snickerdoodle Latte and Honey Latte- it's a MUST TRY! It's a perfect blend of flavors , not too sweet and not too bitter either. They roast their beans to perfection in a small batches and I think that is a secret recipe to get that perfect coffee! Highly recommend it!!! The shop is not that big inside , but the outside seating area is a very nice and big place to sit and enjoy your latte in a beautiful Del Mar weather. The staff were fantastic and they were quick and efficient. Especially Brook was so nice and helpful and she has made our experience even more enjoyable. Overall: it's a cute little coffee shop, the staff were very friendly and welcoming and their lattes are just pure perfection!!! Can't wait to go back!!!

    Always such a breeze ordering from this location. My drinks/food items taste delicious and are consistent in flavor. Their baristas are super sweet and make you feel welcome in their cafe. Not a lot of seating, but enough for a few small groups. This location is easy to walk to and is nearby lots of fun local shops and plenty of restaurants. Such a unique store too!

    My first time here on Mother's day! I had the The mocha iced coffee decaf with 1/2 sweet was fabulous!! Next time I'll try the blended ice coffee. Jaelyn and Rachel and Emma were fantastic. Friendly and helpful and made the experience fun.

    The worst coffee shop I have ever been to. I wish there was an option to give 0 stars. Was going home and I need some caffeine to keep me up. We had a hard time finding the parking lot so we parked on the streets. The store had one other customer in there but they took over 10 minutes to make our drinks. The service was also bad. I got the hazelnut divinity with oat milk and my friend got a matcha latte. The hazelnut was overly sweet and you couldn't taste the coffee and the matcha did not taste like matcha at all. The matcha tasted like milk and they just added food coloring to make it look g. AVOID this cafe if it's possible, don't waste your money here since it's not worth it almost $8 a drink.

    Super nice employees! Solid selection of both drinks and food. Tried their hazelnut latte which was a tad bit too sweet but delicious regardless. Street parking available and plenty of seating indoors!

    Great Coffee spot in Del Mar. CS is superb, the young lady that waited on me was super helpful and accommodating. Very clean and well organized

    Iced Honey Latte and Matcha Tea Latte

    One of my favorite coffee chains!, never disappoints. Great concept kept throughout their menu, decor, merchandise and honestly best motto: Life's Better Buzzed. Staff at this location is always welcoming and friendly, even during rushes. Plenty of dining space inside and outside. Coffee is strong but not bitter, well balanced. Honey Latte is always made amazing. My daughter enjoyed the Iced Matcha, no grassy flavor. I've tried the Hazelnut Divinity but I do get that half sweet.

    It seems some of their images and reviews got purged from their Yelp. I've once gave an updated review about a time (July 26th) where I ordered their $7.99, Ham & Cheese Croissant. It contained smoked ham, muenster cheese, on a toasted croissant. It was a tad oily (buttery) and was piping hot! Not bad, but if you think back a couple of years I would totally see this being priced at $4! Another time, actually quite recently-- October 4th, I got myself a Mint Infused Iced Coffee. I've actually ordered this before at their Fashion Valley location and LOVED IT! Although sadly, at this specific location... I did not love it. It had way too much heavy cream. What a bummer to spend my $6.49 on that. This day they were insanely packed, one guy working the bar and another at the register. There were also maybe 1-2 others working but they were behind the door perhaps stocking? I don't know if Better Buzz prioritizes speed over quality. The man was working quite fast and what I thought to be efficiently - that is until I tasted my drink. Maybe in the colder season I'll stop by and the drink will be good? But as of now I've had multiple misses with the flavors of the drinks-- them mainly being very sweet and milky. I do like that this spot does accept cash. In addition, many seats inside are filled with students on laptops. Most of them have finished their drinks and remain seated, leaving no space (inside that is) for new customers to enjoy their drinks. Which is not 100% a huge deal, but maybe over time may be annoying for others. Although, Better Buzz does have multiple tables and seating areas outside of their shop. Also...they are a 3-5 min walk from the beach! Better Buzz Coffee has smoothies, blended iced coffees, cold brews, açaí bowls, teas, lemonade, toasts, sandwiche, & wraps. The menu may slightly be on the pricier side I would say because it's closer to the beach, it has that beach price iykwim. The choice is yours if you want to spend your money here! It is a popular spot with other people, just a miss for me.

    This location is conveniently located across from the Del Mar Plaza (south) on Camino Del Mar at 15th Street. They have a nice outside patio and a great inside vibe. The staff is high positive energy and they are really working hard to get orders completed. I highly recommend this location.

    Stopped into Better Buzz for a cold drink and a restroom break, and both delivered. The restroom was excellent--clean, well-maintained, and spacious. The store itself was just as well kept, with a welcoming atmosphere. Staff were friendly and efficient. My drink was solid, with a perfect balance of flavors--not overly sweet, not overloaded with ice--and priced fairly. Overall, a great quick stop.

    Love the Better Buzz aesthetic and vibe! The assortment of unique drinks is a differentiator from other specialty coffee shops. The quality of coffee is good and honestly just a simple cappuccino is worth it. The drink prices are high but unsurprising for a Del Mar shop.

    lavender tea latte

    Awesome drinks!! I love the lavender tea latte especially. Lemon Loaf is also excellent. Staff are really nice & friendly and the service is really fast. They've got both indoor and outdoor seating both a great. The place is nice, good lighting, I enjoy hanging out there!

First off, parking can be tricky but we were able to find street parking easily. As soon as we walked in, we felt peaceful. The ambiance was welcoming. They had a good outdoor patio with a view of the water body. I got the iced matcha pineapple latte. My colleagues got the regular cappuccino. Our drinks came out fairly quickly. The cappuccino had beautiful coffee art with a swan. My matcha tasted good. And more than anything it was colorful. The views from the patio were beautiful and we had a great time!

It's sparkling clean. And, the coffee is incredible! You couldn't ask for a better place to start off your day at. The store is located right near the ocean, so you can smell the salinity in the air. The store itself is modern, sleek with lots of seating available. So, sit down and stay for a while or take one to go. They are passionate about what they do. So, get ready for a tasty treat. I got an iced decaf latte decaf and a drip coffee. My favorite was the iced decaf latte. From the first sip to the last drip. I savored every last sip of that delicious drink. It's creamy, dreamy, and delicious. With a bold perfect coffee flavor. Pure perfection! Also, I love taking home a cup of coffee for the next day. And, a pound of coffee to share. Trust me when I say that this coffee is incredible! You'll want that extra coffee. So, next time you see a Bird Rock. Stop by for a tasty treat! You won't regret it.

This location is right in the center of so much Solana Beach activity offering plenty to do and see around this cafe that makes it an even better stop.

His vanilla latte was top tier but I absolutely love the cherry bomb latte. Cherry and coffee go together much better than expected. Their butter croissant was heaven. Just the fluffiest layers and delicious!

This would have been an average San Diego coffee shop experience for me, except for the fact that I absolutely LOVED the cherry bomb! It's a cherry mocha and essentially a perfect drink for me. Back in 2019, Starbucks had a seasonal cherry mocha for Valentine's Day that I was obsessed with. Apparently I was the only one, because they haven't brought it back since. Cherry mochas are hard to come by, and I haven't really encountered another one. This one was delicious! The espresso was bold, the milk perfectly creamy, and the overall taste not too sweet (unlike Starbucks'). Wow!! I can already tell this will be a drink I daydream about. Unfortunately it was $7.50, which will prevent me from indulging very regularly. The rest of the menu is pricey too, with avocado toasts nearly reaching $20. (I may be a millennial, but I can certainly understand the negative stereotype when I see coffee shop prices like these.) Besides pricing, the other downside of this place is the limited seating. There were only 4 small outdoor tables, so unless you're with just one other person and you arrive before 10am, I'd suggest grabbing your coffee to go and taking a walk. My friend and I sat down, since there were open tables when we arrived. She enjoyed her iced honey cinnamon latte. If you love a cherry mocha or are looking for coffee in the design district, definitely come through!

It's a nice cafe in Solana Beach. The service is amazing and their specialty Lattes are what I go for. I enjoy the French and Brazilian cafe music they play in the background. I enjoyed the coastal breeze. While you sip and enjoy a treat you can perhaps play tic tac toe and or other games on the front patio/ picket fenced in yard. Super cute place! The Lattes I go for are The Gardener (lavender, honey, vanilla) and The Farmer(vanilla and brown sugar). Made with organic espresso and love. We've even enjoyed visiting the bunnies for 22$ per person (plus tip if you'd like too) gives you about 20-30 minutes of interaction with the bunnies. You sign a waiver with the host and they'll give you instructions on the rules. You might even get to feed them too. I loved it so much! I grew up with bunnies as pets so this was soooo nostalgic for me! Come and support this family owned business and perhaps pet a bunny. You'll like it a lotte! *they do have a handwashing station too. In case you are wondering about that.

Instead of treating customers with even basic courtesy, she was annoyed that anyone was there. A simple question was met with a nasty attitude, and the interaction left us feeling completely unwelcome. I saw her speak to other customers in the same manner, so it wasn't just us. Unfortunately, the coffee wasn't any better. It was poorly made, tasted burnt and bitter, and wasn't worth finishing. For a coffee shop, that's the one thing that should be done well. There are plenty of other local cafés where you'll be treated with respect and get a much better cup of coffee. Only draw is the bunnies, who I really hope Samantha treats with more care and kindness than she does her customers; I honestly am concerned for their wellbeing after experiencing how Samantha treats people.

We each got to order a pot of tea, so we decided to order 5 different ones to try out more flavors together. The ones we picked were: -Jasmine orange oolong - Coconut milk green tea - Earl grey lavender - Vanilla cream -Strawberry rose champagne oolong tea My top two favorites were the jasmine orange oolong and the coconut milk green tea. The only flavor that none of us enjoyed was the strawberry rose champagne oolong tea, so when it came time for refills, we switched it to the rouge provence. For the food, there were four finger sandwiches: chicken breast, smoked salmon, cucumbers, and chopped spinach. We all liked the chicken breast one the most, and felt like the cucumbers and chopped spinach could have been combined into one sandwich for a more balanced flavor. For sweets, there was the seasonal scone, fruit tart, macaron, and donut. I loved the scone with the butter and fruit preserves, as well as the fruit tart. The service was polite, but a bit slow and we waited a while before our food arrived. There was only one person who was serving the entire afternoon tea area, so it's understandable that there's a longer wait. All in all, I would definitely come back for another afternoon tea experience!
