Amazing service! went on saturday to get an açaí bowl, the girl working the drive thru was so helpful and helped me find which would be best for me. She was so nice enough to bring my food out to my car as fast as she could:) Workers are always so kind. read more

Went through the drive thru, so did not go inside. Service was good, but sometimes have to remind barista to provide a stopper sticker and sleeve because drink is hot. Other than that all is well. read more

I am a frequent Better Buzz Escondido visitor and am always greeted by name and with a warm smile by Nicole and Nicky. My order is always correct and it is something I look forward to. Thanks to Nicole's suggestion, I am now a BB coffee bean customer also for those times when I cannot make it to BB and make coffee at home. My go to drink is an iced vanilla latte, and now they have a waffle sandwich which is very tasty. Cannot go wrong with anything you order Thank you! read more

Hazelnut Divinity. Ice cold. Delicious. Each time we are in SD county, I send the boys to get Better Buzz. Everyone loves it. They can order so many different things. read more

Fast and delicious! Once in a while I like to change up my morning routine and grab a different coffee from a different coffee spot. Better Buzz fits the bill and satisfies my caffeine needs! I love their iced horchata.... This location is in a tight strip mall shopping area but it's worth the drive for me. I'll be back again for sure soon. Remember to tip well! read more

Better Buzz is always a great choice when looking for a nice warm cup of coffee, or Cold Brew ;) I believe that they make the Best Chai Latte out of all the coffee chains and houses. My wife swears by it. This specific location is amazing, there is indoor seating, free Wi-Fi, outdoor seating. I haven't been to a Better Buzz where the vibe wasn't awesome coming from the workers, the Chai wasn't amazing for my wife. The coffee is always consistent which is a great feeling when going to multiple locations! If we are in the area again we will definitely stop by! read more

This team is always attentive! They always make sure my complicated order is made right. I appreciate the team so much!

We popped in on the way to a funeral and were greeted by a huge staff. I counted 14 staff members behind the counter. We placed our order and my friend got her drink within 5 minutes. Great. 15 minutes later, my drink was still not up. Most of the staff were standing around, on their phones or chit chatting with each other. It was frustrating. I finally asked what the hold up was... 20 minutes with 14 people working seemed excessive. Turns out that ordering a large coffee drink with only one espresso shot seemed to stump the entire staff. When my drink was finally served up it wasn't even hot. Barely lukewarm. After 25 minutes, we were late for the funeral. I won't be returning to this location. read more

This location always has kind and attentive staff, I come in frequently and have had consistent positive experiences with my orders. Drink and food taste is also consistently great :) multiple different seating options allow for a quick sit down, or comfy laptop work. Will continue to come to this location on remote working days. read more

Isaac is the best! Come order a chai latte this fall! The customer service is so attentive over here and lovely! Happy holidays everyone & to the better buzz team! read more

I wish these were near Rancho Cucamonga... These are unique coffee shops that are modern and cool. The Hazelnut Davinity Iced Coffee is better than anything I've tried at any coffee shop. The Turkey Pesto warm sandwich is a delicious compliment and filling. We had the pleasure of having Andrea take our order and helped us with hot sauce & napkins when they were out. She's a gem! Thank you Better Buzzed for creating a coffee shop experience like no other! read more

At 4:45 in the afternoon this store decided to dump out their regular coffee. So they had to make me an Americano. This seems to be a regular occurrence. I have come to this location multiple times and either their are out of coffee or the coffee is cold. Why does this location seem to never have fresh regular coffee? The San Marcos location always has fresh coffee anytime I show up. Please change this practice read more

Came here for a quick stop of coffee (mainly for my boyfriend). This is the second time I've ever been to a Better Buzz. When we walked in the aesthetic of this place was very cute, it looks like a nice place to sit down, have some coffee, and do some work. If I lived in the area, I could see myself coming here. I ordered a croissant and I thought they would warm it up but they just hand it out to you from the pastry case. Now that I look back, I probably should've asked if they could've done that for me. One thing that I did notice was that some of the tables were very dirty and looked like it had not been wiped down. read more

Excellent coffee and vibe. I knew the Better Buzz from Encinitas and every time I visited San Diego I would stop there. Now that I moved back, I was checking coffee shops relatively nearby (I was on my way to grocery shopping north) and this popped up and went there immediately. Baristas are super friendly and professional and it seems that the crowd was mostly comprised of young ladies post yoga workout enjoying their coffee drinks. I liked to sit there for a while and people watch while also observing the nice and pleasant design of even the lamps and getting ideas to paint on my walls from these huge black flowers. More inspirational and design driven than your usual Starbucks for sure! read more

We come here frequently because we like their coffee. Every time we try and sit outside the tables are ALWAYS FILTHY! This morning 12/11/2024 it was absolutely filthy, I grabbed napkins and added water to them. I took one wipe of the table and the napkin was BLACK! Not to mention the numerous stains on every table as you will see in the photos. What a shame that they could care less because it's every time we come here. The little plant ambiance they have are filthy as well, covered in dirt and cobwebs all over them. With all the options out there, I will not be coming back. I gave them 9 visits to have freaking clean outside table. It's not rocket science, have a clean table sign in sheet every 20 minutes or whatever, put down time and sign it and the manager go look and inspect, but when you don't care this is what you get. How sad! read more

Staff is excellent at this location and always so helpful when deciding my drinks! My go to spot for my favorite coffee!

Better Buzz is THE BEST coffee shop I've been to in the state of California. First off, the decor is so cute and you can tell they really go out of their way to make it a full, fun experience for their customers. There's lots of adorable BB merchandise and everything from napkins to sleeves to cups, etc. comes with their cleverly designed logo. My family and I were in town for a wedding this past weekend and visited Better Buzz on three different occasions. We had lovely interactions with Aliyah, Aaron, Tony and Danielle...a beautiful group of people inside and out. Each one of them added something truly special to our overall experience, for sure! They had a wide array of pastries (the pistachio croissant was pure heaven) and the 3-seed Avocado Toast is AMAZING!! It truly is the best avocado toast out there. It comes with a freshly baked, healthy seeded sourdough, a ton of avocado, sesame and sunflower seeds, micro greens and lemon. The ingredients are simple, yet it is a visual and tasteful masterpiece! Our lattes were nothing short of perfection. The milk temp was perfect giving the lattes a naturally light sweetness. The espresso had a bold, yet very smooth flavor. I can't wait to come back to town and visit Better Buzz again, and I sure hope the ownership would consider moving a few shops into the Santa Clarita area. The area is in dire need of great coffee shops! read more

Every time I've been to this location if been met with Amazing service and drinks! Great location with good vibes!

Great coffee! They offer smoothies, breakfast sandwiches , avocado toast and a vast variety of delicious pastries. Our favs are the zucchini loaf, cranberry orange muffin, blackberry banana muffin, vanilla bean latte, and seasonal snickerdoodle iced latte. Delicious lattes especially the snickerdoodle latte made with vanilla powder and brown sugar syrup. Their powders ( vanilla) are available to purchase along with their coffee. Awesome customer service. Very clean location. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Make sure to download their app to earn points towards free regular sized drink. You can't go wrong with the buzz!! read more

Better Buzz Coffee Escondido - Iced vanilla latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Escondido, California

Ok where do I start?!? I am a local teacher here in Escondido. I work at a title one school which means a majority of the families that come to our school are able to qualify for free lunch. We do not get many treats and there are no frills at the school, however it is a wonderful place to work and to have children thrive...I've digressed! Anyways, i wanted to do something special for the mothers of my students for Mother's Day. So I took a shot to see if Better Buzz, my favorite place to grab a drink would cater my lunch in and donate to the local mothers with a drink each and something to eat. Not only did they say yes, but the manager Nicole also drove the order to me! She went above and beyond to assure our mothers had a special day! Let me tell you they were thrilled! I am not a loyal Better Buzz customer for life. Not only do they have the best coffee and omg there is this crazy amazing drink I had with Pop Rocks, but they also give back to their community. Thank you so so so so much! I just cannot even express my gratitude to you for making our moms feel so special and for giving and helping in the way you did! I have something else for ya, will bring it when I even have a min to myself!!!!! Thank you manager Nicole and Better Buzz you guys are awesome!!! read more

I went here with my boyfriend and we both got iced killer bees with vanilla. They were strong and sweet; which is exactly what we were looking for. The barista, Andrea, recommended the drink and said it's the strongest drink we have but it's delicious with vanilla. read more

Chloe is friendly and she always makes my coffee order amazing! 10/10 service whenever I visit!

Andrea, Chloe, Tori are the best. Always making my day better. Go to this location they won't disappoint!

Escondido keeps rubber stamping permits for Starbucks around town so it was both unusual and refreshing to see a competing coffee shop chain open up.. This better buzz is clean and brite. But it's just not as well-rounded as Starbucks, expecially with sugar free options. That's disappointing. When we came to visit they said they only had two sugar free flavors available, vanilla and caramel. Worse was when I inquired about lighter sugar options on their frozen blended coffee drinks. They said they didn't have any sugar free powder mix (like The Coffee Bean does). I pointed out that their online menu said they had vanilla and mocha light versions and they said they would simply use less sugar mix and more ice. Uh no.. So this place looks great (just don't come here if you're having a migraine) but begrudging I'd say that Starbucks makes better drinks.. read more

I love Better Buzz but this place is a buzzkill. It seems like they're always getting new staff and they don't know what they're doing. I love their coffee so I still come and I'm happy that they have gluten free options, I came here today and I was in a hurry so I couldn't really go back and fix it. I always order the same thing. One of the items I order is gluten free turkey pesto with bacon. I don't have a problem with it being made with items that aren't gluten free. But I do have a problem with them giving me sourdough and no bacon. Which I obviously was charged more for because I requested gluten free with bacon. It's really something that shouldn't be overlooked. Not to mention there was no one in line, and they can't do a simple order with that many staff clocked in. Also a week ago when I came and ordered my usual. The girl who takes the order at the drive thru literally said to me "i sometimes forget what gluten free is" that's nothing you should publicly say out loud to someone who has a gluten intolerance. I probably won't come back since they frequently mess up orders. I don't have time to come back every time because they couldn't check the order before giving it to me. The slip is literally attached to all the items so I have no idea what's going on. I would have gave them a 5. read more

I love Better Buzz and when we were on our way home from a friend's house we were pleasantly surprised to see that BB is on the way to the freeway. It was a bonus that there is a drive thru too. It was about 3p on a Saturday afternoon and there was no line. There was an employee outside taking orders and once we got up to the window our order was ready. We ordered our usual - 2 large best drink ever with easy ice. (I typically order a decaf.) Staff were friendly and fast we were satisfied with our drinks. My drink was a little sweet but I added more ice and got 2 drinks out of my large BDE. Located in the Trader Joe's shopping center, ample parking, and a great place to pick up some delicious coffee drinks. read more

I've been a big fan of Better Buzz Coffee for years now. This is my first time visiting their Escondido location, and it's pretty nice. Definitely does not live up to the Hillcrest location, but that's hard to beat. This location is in a shared parking lot with other shops, which means there's a good chance you'll find decent parking. But it does make this spot a little difficult to drive to. The inside of the coffee shop is cute (still not as cute as Hillcrest, but cute nonetheless). It wasn't very busy this Friday morning, which is nice. And the baristas were very professional, kind, and patient. The açaí bowls are delicious, per usual. The iced green tea with sweetener was yummy, a little more herbal than sweet. I ordered a large dirty chai with two shots, my usual, and it was great! Their drinks come in two sizes: regular or large. With iced drinks I'd definitely recommend the large. Their merchandise is a bit pricey, but they have cute glass cans, tees, hoodies, mugs, etc. Give better buzz a try! This location isn't bad at all, but Hillcrest will always hold a special place in my heart. read more
