Really good drinks and food and awesome staff. the wait is sooooo long. i ordered a drink when i went on my lunch at work and it took 30 minutes to get it. Food and drinks are delicious and staff is great like i said but having to wait over half an hour for drinks is hard to make it worth it. read more

Best coffee in SD. I love the horchata iced latte and the avocado toast. The seasonal elote toast is my favorite but isn't on the menu all year. always so friendly and fun inside! read more

Coffee is good and all but every single time I order here they have messed up my order, it happens so often I just accept it but the attitude I had received when telling them that the order was wrong. I get it its customer service it's tiring and frustrating sometimes but I'm never rude about it when I had told them that something was missing in my drink. it was usually a quick fix like adding the foam to the drink but always rolling eyes and blank stares like the ticket didn't confirm the order was made wrong or was missing the foam on the drinks. read more

I am not from this area but wish they would open one in Santa Clarita! The drink i had was so tasty, best coffee drink ever! I highly recommend this place. read more

I always go drive through (for a reason) yet I am always told to pull up to the side of the parking lot for my food items. I kid you not it happens every time I order a food item, like if I wanted to park wait and sit I would have gotten off. I'm so over it would rather just go order my coffee down the street at Starbucks. read more

Very cute area, I'm glad there is one here in Escondido now, I usually go to the San Marcos one. The lines are long of course on the weekend and weekday mornings. The service is great and they are willing to redo your drink no charge if you don't like it. I always get the Best Drink Ever now. Very sweet and creamer than the Vanilla Latte. read more

I've returned a few times to this establishment, and it has exceeded my expectations each time! Everyone is so friendly, the atmosphere makes you feel welcomed, and each time I order a new drink I have a new favorite. It can make it hard which drink to choose each time I go! The food tastes great. Overall, great experience with this location. read more

The coffee is okay. I came today and there was no line in the drive thru (unusual)! However, we still waited 20 mins for a smoothie and breakfast sandwich. The last time I'd came I ordered online and it said my order would be ready at 9:03am. My order wasn't ready until 9:30am. I'll stick to Starbucks from now on. read more

So cute inside! I love BB so I was excited they made another location in North County. Everything was delicious as always! Iced best drink and the matcha are my go to drinks, always good. Tried the breakfast sandwich for the first time and it was so yummy!! Pistachio croissant and the chocolate chip orange scone also amazing. Can't wait to come back :) read more

Better Buzz Coffee Escondido - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Escondido, California

Making someone wait 10 minutes for a cup of black coffee so you can be "fair" to the other gusts waiting for a drink is unacceptable. Its right behind the cashier for a reason. Its a quick cup and go. I've been a barista for 5 years. I'm pretty sure its not that complicated to get a black cup of coffee. read more

My favorite coffee place. Nice test and fresh. The line is long though. But worth it!

I love better buzz. Never been to this location but adorable, staff adorable, and vibes great. Staff super friendly and energetic especially for being morning risers. I'm all for having fun but when there's a line basically to the door and no one is at the register cause who it seemed like a shift lead was busy telling everyone where they should be but then walk away from the register and the staff in the back making sure the put music first and talking drama when there's obviously loads of mobile orders and a huge line. Have fun I get it I was a barista for 7 years but have fun and work. Two in one. Otherwise y'all are adorable read more

I've been coming here out of sheer convenience, because they have a drive through and I have littles. I've never been impressed with the customer service or the coffee or the pastries (Bread and Cie). But, I go every week or so to get my drink and the kids a pastry. One time, I asked if they could cut my pastry in half (so my kids could split it in the car) and they told me they couldn't because they misplaced their pastry cutting knife, but they could give me a plastic knife to cut it myself (couldn't they do that? Because I can't really in the car...). Today, I went into the store to get a couple of cortados and some pastries, the cortados came out as 12 oz lava hot lattes with really bad milk foam. One of the cups collapsed in my hand on the way to the car and with a stinging hand I decided to complain. I asked if they could remake them a little less hot and explained that it hand burnt the c*** out of my hand. Also, that cortados were 4.5 oz... the cashier ignored the fact that I got burned and argued with me about the size of the drink. I come every week and get one.. it is served in the 8 oz cup not quite full. Finally she just made what I asked for, but I don't think I'll ever go back. I'll shlep my 3 littles to James. Their coffee and pastries are better by far. read more

Better Buzz is a must when heading South. I go for the Hazelnut Divinity and the Pistachio croissant!

we have now placed orders for pick up 5 times and every time they cant seem to find the order. Or they give us someones else order. Then when you ask them what is going on they tell you that they are busy. I understand that you are busy but then have better way to handle your online orders so that we are not having to wiat for you to remake our items. read more

I love going to Better Buzz and can't thank Esmeralda and Vanessa enough for being prompt and making my drink right every time. Great service, awesome attitude, love the coffee, lovely place and will continue to go back read more

I decided to stop by BetterBuzz to get a little work done on my computer (I have a hard time concentrating at home). I'm not a coffee person, so I was a little overwhelmed by the menu, but luckily there was Jorden there to help me sort out what I would like. She was very kind in taking her time to help me, even when I was worried I was holding up the line. I eventually settled on a large matcha latte with oat milk and an extra scoop of vanilla powder (she told me that they don't use vanilla syrup like Starbucks, and I think this is way better). So thanks Jordan! read more

I love this location. I frequent them often (prob at least once a week) and I've never had a bad drink from here! I normally get an iced latte with oat milk or almond milk and sometimes caramel drizzle. Or I'll get the dirty chai latte 1/3 sweet with almond milk. It's soooo good. My boyfriend likes the best drink ever and the vanilla buzz. I have yet to try any of their food but I will add to my review once I do :) the workers are always so nice and we ended up getting the black card which is a reloadable card where you can get extra benefits or discounts for being a member. The line is often long (because the drinks and bomb, duh) so just be prepared for that! I think you are able to order ahead but I have yet to take advantage of that. read more

I've been to several better Buzz locations and this one is by far one of the best! The employees are very nice courteous and the avocado toast was made better than most locations make it!! read more

So I don't usually write reviews, but I just felt like I had to in this case. I have only been to better buzz a few times, and each time the drinks have been delicious. This time I went through the drive through, and I wanted to try something new. The girl taking my order was super sweet and willing to answer any questions I had. She said her name was Jordan, and she recommended the caramel buzz to me. It ended up being delicious, and by the time I got to the window the drink was already made. I didn't catch their name, but the girl at the window was super kind as well. Overall it was a very nice experience, and I can't wait to go back again soon. Definitely recommend this store to anyone looking for a tasty treat and great service! read more

More like a 2.5 if I could because I'm I really enjoy better buzz drinks and food. But this location is INCREDIBLY SLOW!! I just don't get it, truly. It's not complicated drinks and food. Other places do more with less staff and are quicker. Maybe I'm less patient because i usually have my baby in the car who doesn't like when the car is still, but nearly 25 minutes for some toast and tea from an empty drive thru line is just ridiculous. read more

If you are a coffee connoisseur as I am, their coffee might be disappointing. I gave a couple of chances and experienced other locations as well and it is not good quality coffee. However, I really liked their vegan chocolate muffin. Also, their ambiance is really nice, decoration is the best in Southern California. Might come back for a meeting. read more

Embarrassed to admit I went 2x in one weekend. Moroccan Coffee is amazing and they make a great Caprese as well. Kombucha on tap is great but get there early because they tend to sell out read more

Craving of avocado toast and delicious acai bowl handled! Fresh and delicious ingredients. Customer service was SUPER SWEET read more

Better Buzz Coffee Escondido - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Escondido, California

I recently visited this location, located within a few miles of my house. Overall, it's brand new. So, it's amazing! It's a clean place. The coffee quality is high, as are the innovative drink offerings. It's absolutely worth the premium you would pay over your own cup of Joe at home. I highly recommend Better Buzz to anyone who is new to coffee/tea, never tried this coffee place, or the coffee snob (like myself). Disclaimer - I typically enjoy single origin coffee varietals, served black, using a French press method or a mechanical equivalent. read more

Such nice people. Enforcing masks which i absolutely love for the safety of everyone. Never have a bad experience here. keep up the great work and stay safe! read more

The staff were very friendly, but unfortunately that's the only good thing about this place :( I came to get some work done on my laptop, but the music (party music?) was incredibly loud inside to the point that I couldn't even hear my friend from across the table, and there were only 2 shaded tables outside, one of which was directly by the speaker and the other being too far for the wifi to connect well. The coffee itself was just okay, one of them was way too sweet and the other I could've made at home. If the music was lowered a good bit, it would've been a better experience, but unfortunately after a 20 minutes attempt to make it work, we ended up just going home. read more

Better Buzz is my favorite coffee chain. I discovered them at their Encinitas location, so I was incredibly happy when they opened in Escondido. My OTP is their Lavender Black Tea Latte and I substitute with coconut milk. Delicious! read more

The ridiculous delays and lack of customer service is truly appalling, unprofessional and frankly unbelievable of such a large chain. Send your employees to chick-filet or in and out for lessons. 25 mins wait for 2 avocado toast with only 1 person ahead of me in drive thru line. Consistently get orders wrong. Get it together guys. Please. I truly don't understand why you're the only drive thru that has so much trouble, consistently. This is not a new concept. Figure it out. read more

Better Buzz Coffee Escondido - 3 Seed Avocado Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Escondido, California

Great Better Buzz location! Such an adorable spot that has indoor and outdoor seating plus a drive thru option (something for everyone!). The staff has always been really friendly and the food and coffee is always amazing. If you're looking for a new coffee place to try - this is it! read more

The third location I've been to and they follow their recipe to a T. I'm in love with "the best drink ever". Perfect amount of sweetness, creamy-ness and espresso. The staff at this location are very friendly and nice. I wish they had location in Orange County. So far this is my favorite coffee place. read more

The staff here is always so sweet and attentive. The ambience is very chic and clean. I usually order the lavender black tea buzz. It's very sweet, I just wish there was more lavender. Other than that, better buzz is a 10/10! read more

Okay I love the coffee but we have been "stuck" in the drive thru for 25 minutes now. Yikes! A record for sure. Next time skip the drive up and go inside read more

Overall experience here has been good. Staff isn't as welcoming as Starbucks may be, but pre-ordering is my favorite thing. My only issue is that on multiple occasions, I've have to wait up to 25 minutes past my online order time that I selected the night before. But other then that, the drinks and food are amazing! And you must try their açaí bowl! read more

I ordered an avocado toast, cold brew with sweet cream foam, best drink ever and a chocolate chip banana bread and horchata latte. Out of all of the items I purchased the horchata latte was the best one. The avocado toast tastes like the avocado is rotten, the cold brew didn't have any flavor of the sweet cream foam, the best drink ever didn't have flavor tasted like plain coffee and they didn't have banana bread chocolate chip but gave me the paper where the bread goes to take home. Ridiculous. I called multiple times but seems like the number does Not work. read more

I waited for 4 drinks for almost an hour and watched people who ordered after me get their multiple drinks and leave. When I asked about my drinks they said they were backed up but I could see my order still on the screen. They said I was next and I still waited about 15 mins and then asked again and apparently my orders disappeared off the screen and they could no longer find it. At 8:58 they wrote down my orders so they could start. I ordered my drinks at the counter at 8:05 according to my receipt it and I walked out of the store at 9:02. I never leave bad review but this was horrible and understand it's the morning and they are busy but still unacceptable to be waiting for drinks for an hour and watch others who had drinks ordered at 8:30 and not offer help. read more

Probably never going here again, waited 15 minutes for a cold coffee. If you order a regular coffee at Starbucks they just immediately take the 30 seconds and just give it to you read more

Horrible they used an almond butter from a different store and it's all chunks. They had the audacity to ask me for a tip. They literally out it at the bottom which makes no sense read more
