They never disappoint. Love all the seasonal offerings and the pastries are always on point.

The people watching is worth coming here alone. Wow! If I have friends coming in from out of town I would take them here. Beautiful cars and rich people walking expensive dogs mixed with tourists . Ordered an OG Açaí bowl and it was the perfect amount of everything. This was the Goldilocks of açaí bowls. Just right. Not too much toppings and not too little açaí. Wasn't too expensive either which was nice. Sometimes a bowl can go up to 15 bucks which is outrageous. read more

Absolutely loved the Better Breakfast! Paired nicely with the iced hazelnut divinity.

Great Cappuccino! Ambience Could be better. Service was good and the ham, cheese croissant was good but could have been a better if was less greasy...but I loved the coffee!! read more

Great coffee served by a very friendly staff! The Manager, Devin, was very attentive. Would recommend 10/10!

Always a little bit of a wait on weekends but worth it! The BDE can't be beat and the food at this location is excellent. Freya is super friendly! read more

Great new addition to the Del Mar neighborhood!!! It was our first time coming here before my partner and I started work and immediately the staff was so welcoming and friendly. We took a little time to decide on what we wanted and guided us through the menu. Alana the barista was above and beyond friendly, informative and wanted to make sure we had the best first experience - great coffee better atmosphere read more

Such nice staff!! The food and drinks are great as well. Best drink ever and pistachio croissant

The lady working there was very kind and she spoke two languages so it was easier for my mother to communicate and understand her!! amazing service read more

extremely slow. Ordered online and said it would be dint at 2:25 and was definitely not done. The one person in the back sucks she's moving extremely slow. read more

If you are in San Diego and looking for a coffee shop you need to go to Better Buzz!! The ambiance and aesthetic is super cute and trendy. Lots of outdoor patio seating which I love. The coffee is amazing - I had the Horchata coffee (can't remember the exact name) and The Best Coffee Ever. I liked The Best Coffee ever more (it was more sweet) but both were great. For the taste coffees the price is not too bad either - compares to Starbucks prices. If they had one closer to me this would be my go to place! read more

Carmel buzz is THE best highly recommend it! Also the barista, I think Devin was his name was so kind and super friendly!

I enjoyed this location and found the barista to be very helpful. My drink came out quickly. I had the Moroccan spiced iced coffee and had almond milk instead of heavy cream. My one constructive feedback is that there were ants on the counter with the straws and trash cans and unfortunately it wasn't just one. Hopefully this can be rectified soon. Overall, it's a nice alternative to Starbucks. FYI, no drive through at this location. read more

Bad bad cappuccino, great great service which means I'll never go back. But people were very nice.

Service is great, everyone is friendly and looks happy to be there. The blended espresso mocha is amazing! I added the chocolate covered espresso beans and it was basically a Java Chip frappucino. read more

Lots of drink variety and some fun seasonal coffees! Mimi was so sweet and gave me a free pastry:) definitely coming back

Love my local Better Buzz location!! Service is always really fast and the baristas are always so welcoming and kind.

Wanted to check out the new Better Buzz location. Everything was fine until my boyfriend started spitting out large chunks of macro plastics. He ordered an açaí smoothie which ended up having multiple of these pieces in them. Not sure how that happens but the plastic was pretty sharp. He was lucky enough to catch this and not swallow the pieces, but who knows how many micro plastics are being blended into all these smoothies. read more

Need to compliment Jazzy one of the Del Mar baristas. Great service, personality, friendliness, memory and understands I am the customer, NOT the guest. She'll be the manager someday. read more

Worse service! Got a to go drink the day before and it wasn't made right. I was heading to an appointment long distant and didn't have time to go back as well as the other barista that took the order that day was rude (Jasmin), second encounter with her and same cold rudeness., even if I had time I wouldn't go back to her. The next morning I told Emma the barista and she was very misleading about redoing it, initially she said I can get a different drink but was charging me, when I asked why she said "you're getting a different drink, do want the same as yesterday's" I agreed and then she was charging me for that as well, I asked why, her reply "that was yesterday" I felt like I was in some bad comedy show! I won't be going back or recommending this location in Del Mar to anyone! read more

:( today was a sad day. Stopped off to get some breakfast before heading out to Fletcher Cove. Got a pistachio croissant, latte, chili crisp wrap and blueberry cold brew. Got to the cove and ate half of the wrap. Took a bite of the second half and found a long blonde hair. So disappointed and grossed out. Sorry but I have to give this a no go. I kinda wanna vomit thinking about it. Ughh and I hate giving bad reviews. read more

Ambiance, service were nice! Great location. Avocado toast is a must have! Coffee was good but a bit strong for me. read more

mimi and daniel are the best! this place has such amazing vibes and amazing people. The coconut Matcha was to die for and honestly the service from the employees there were top-notch if I needed something they give it to me no problem... definitely loved it and would come back again! Also, Jay was a really good person. He was very friendly and helpful. read more

Better Buzz is a fan fav-- their coffee is full of flavor with one of my favorites being the best drink ever. The atmosphere and aesthetic is top notch and super unique to the brand. The quality of the coffee and matcha isn't lacking and is always fun to drop in for a drink with the friends. Always a recommend when in the San Diego or surrounding areas with there continued expansion. The employees are always the nicest and provide great service and with opportunity to order ahead of time through the app or website. I recommend trying their new drinks you won't be disappointed :p read more

Came and had the BEST coffee ever! Alanah made my drink and was also so sweet! GREAT service and AMAZING coffee will keep me coming every time I'm in the San Diego area! read more

Barista Alanah was super welcoming and friendly, she noticed my tote of books and recommended I visit the bookstore across the street. It made for a perfect stop after my delicious hazelnut divinity great service with local knowledge ! read more

Service is always great here. Love stopping by to get a honey latte with lavender and vanilla foam. Thanks guys!

Cold brew tastes like straight water if you like that...this is perfect for you. Great staff friendly service and clean small space, loud pop music read more

A perfect pair: their Hazelnut Divinity latté and Pistacchio Croissant. Enjoyed the view from the bar seating indoors and moved to the courtyard when the sun came out. The time spent there was limited to two hours (for those who choose to work at a café) because of the parking time limit but the parking is free and so is the wi-fi. After reparking, walked to the beach which always is so peaceful. Great location. read more

Fantastic new addition to Del Mar! Way better food options than Starbucks. I like their coffee better than Starbucks. I feel like Starbucks coffee tastes watered down. Lacks real flavor. BB is fantadtic and everyone here is so nice. Gets super busy but line goes fast. Unique choices available. read more

The drinks were super tasty and the vibes were good other than that crusty white dog that pooped on the floor. The staff cleared the land mines with a great attitude. :) read more

I had not been in this corner of Del Mar for a while and decided to go to one of my favorite and coziest Starbucks to realize now is gone and instead the bright yellow color of Buzz is in place. The outside looks very spacious and inviting...until you get inside and realize is another 'laptop-camping' situation. Why? I ask myself this is now the trend in most coffee shops in SD area. Since the business owner reads and replies these reviews here is my feedback: the girl at the cash register was not welcoming at all. She was annoyed or overwhelmed but I didnt like the vibe. My cappuccino was burnt and was tempted to go and complaibt but it was noisy and full of laptop campers. The coffee actually tastes like dirty water. Ok, that might be just a bad day...but for me the problem is to go to a coffee shop and find people in conversations that belong inside corporations. My antenna is always on I like it or not. It is so refined I can hear all the convos and there were people literally running job meetings there. Also, the library is at the corner in the same street. Please do not convert this coffee shop into a mini branch of Del Mar library nor into a free coworking space. Unless that is what you want, then please advertise the coffee shop as such. It is very unpleasant going with someone on a coffee date and not being able to sit inside because entitled customers are enabled to occupy a table for 2 but just for one. I was tempted to sit at one of the 'working tables' (I mean all were) just to mess with the person drinking water and occupying space. If you want to listen and still want to be subservient to this nonsense trend...please set a half an hour limit for people to circulate and avoid the perennial campers. Or do like the French coffee shop next to you: buy and bye and next. No one set their tent there. read more

So happy they opened a better buzz in this location!! I got a caramel vanilla latte and it was perfect! Very friendly staff since they just opened. Some seating indoors but lots of seating outside as well. I love how I can do a bit of work/study here and then just walk down to the beach after. If you're coming here to study, there's only 1-2 outlets inside, and 1 outdoor outlet. read more

I came here to get some work done on a recent trip to the area and had a great morning on the patio outside. The service was so friendly and answered my questions about the menu. I ended up getting an iced vanilla latte and the chili crunch breakfast wrap (which was a little too spicy for my liking). The Wi-Fi worked great on the patio too! read more

Coffee is always good. parking a little challenging. Nice location next to beach. Mainly outside seating. Nice to work at if you don't need an outlet. Friendly service read more

I stopped in for the first time yesterday and this coffee shop is so pretty The staff were helpful and friendly. The interior has classic Del Mar architectural elements with modern furnishings. I had the iced vanilla latte with oat milk half sweet. The espresso is sweet but strong. I will definitely be stopping by here anytime I'm in Del Mar. read more

Love this Better Buzz! Always get helped by the best people and hands down my favorite one!
