    Almond Croissant
    Christine R.

    I came here with my brother on a Monday after lunch. I wasn't planning on getting anything, but then I saw the almond croissant. When I ordered, the cashier asked me if I wanted it warmed up. I said yes, and less than a minute later, I had a warm almond croissant in hand. Up close, I realized that this was my first almond croissant with slivers instead of slices. It might seem like a small difference, but these bigger pieces added a lot more texture. The croissant was also sweeter than I expected, making me think that they use extra syrup. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail, and I genuinely want to come back to try the Kouign Amann. Now, you're probably wondering why I'm giving a cafe 5 stars without even drinking their coffee... they had excellent service! My brother's drink came out within 10 minutes, but the server apologized as if it had taken much longer. We tried to reassure them that it was fine, but just in case, I'll say it again... no worries!!!

    Came in with some friends for the first time. Got a nice selection of food, pastries, as well as coffee. I appreciate the coffee selection that have some options that makes it stand out from the rest of the coffee shops. Service was a bit slow, but my biggest complaint would have to be the condition of the establishment. White tickets of drink orders are scattered all at the front door and the trashcan was overflowing the entire time we were there and we sat for about 45 minutes. No one bothered to even look at the station let alone empty the trash as you can see in one of the pictures.

    Hell ya brother!

    My most beloved better buzz that immediately became my post workout weekend treat (and a girl do deserve a treat) as soon as they opened. I like this location better than the one closer to my house because the staff here is just top notch. They always get it right. No shade but the imperial location has twice used all my rewards points and then been like "whoops I can't undo it" and its not like im going to call corporate and complain about losing my rewards but what the heck!! I also really like the outdoor seating here, the mobile pick up counter is super convenient, and the hot food and pastries have been delicious every time. And boy am I a sucker for cold foam :9 :9 :9 Also my favorite thing is to get a best drink ever. The sticker code for it is BDE. I like to peel the sticker off my drink and put it on my dog and call her the Best Dog Ever. And their pup cups come with little milk bones!

    Looks like a fairly new location. Free standing building with plenty of seating. I was welcomed by multiple workers as I entered. Friendly. The time from order to receiving my drink was quick, almost too quick for a latte. =) The drink (plain hot latte made with whole milk) itself is solid...tasted a little watery tho. Good, but not great, coffee taste. Nice and hot. Will def return.

    I stopped by here on my way to a hair appointment to try something new other than Starbucks. I ordered the caramel blended drink. It was incredibly sweet (just how I like it :)). The service was pretty quick for the morning which was great. The shop itself was clean and the employees were very welcoming.

    Fairly quick service. Staff is great. Easy to park even drive thru. Carnitas egg bites.are the best for breakfast and they're big size like you would make at home. My favorite drink (I hope they keep this permanent on the menu) Coconut Macadamia best drink ever.

    Mint Infused Iced Coffee
    Kris N.

    *Note: TDLR at the end of the review Mint Infused Iced Coffee: 4/10 I paid for iced milk dawg. Errrrrr they deadass put a mint leaf on top of my drink and called it mint infused. Didn't taste any mint at all, just a super iced out milky latte. Service: 3/10 Money grabby af. The cashier (older dude so I think might be the owner), was nonchalant asf and gave me this weird look when I didn't order a large. He basically shooed me off after telling him my order. Also, no one calls out your order. They just leave it at the counter and you gotta check on it. Ambiance: 6/10 Plenty of tables and outlets! Came on a Sunday around 3pm and it was crowded af, but I was able to nab a table. Music is kinda loud, but I think it's a pretty decent place to study. Parking was pretty easy to find. TDLR: I would rather go to Starbucks tbh LOL. Drinks are very okay, hella fucking ice bro. Easy parking. Owner (I think) is rude and money grabby.

    Cinnamon Pistachio and Banana coffee 10/10 would recommend BOTH!
    Christine V.

    Stumbled upon Better Buzz on the way home and decided to stop in for an afternoon pick-me-up -- so glad I did! I'd heard the banana coffee was a must-try and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Sweet but not overdone, a natural hint of banana without any artificial taste, and the cold foam on top was fluffy and heavenly. We also tried the Cinnamon Pistachio from their new seasonal menu and that was another hit -- a perfect blend of flavors that somehow avoids that fake sweetener taste you find elsewhere. What really made the visit was the staff. Everyone was genuinely friendly and happy to share their personal favorites to help us narrow things down. That kind of enthusiasm goes a long way. We will most definitely be back!

    Raw bread
    Justine P.

    This is the 3rd time this place has messed up our very overpriced order and I'm sad to say we will not be coming back. We ordered extra toasted avo toast... received raw bread. Then paid extra for double eggs and double meat in our croissant and got even less than usual. Then once I reached out about it they said they couldn't offer any compensation but they "understand my frustration." Don't come here if you want good quality breakfast.

    Coconut and banana matcha
    Thuy H.

    This is a month old review. We want it to try this place as we pass by it many time and now they have banana flavor. We ordered drive thru so I didn't get to experience the food inside. We order the banana matcha flavor and coconut flavor latte. The drink was alright, the matcha is light in color which usually indicates lower grade matcha and the banana is lacking flavor. The coconut taste more like a vanilla latte than coconut. Drink deserve 3 stars, but we would come back to check out the food next time.

    Best Drink Ever.  Not sure if it's the best but a great drink anyway
    Steve L.

    I've been wanting to try Better Buzz for a while and was eating near by so stopped by for a coffee for the drive home. This location is amazing, near the 91 freeway entrance and large, clean and very cozy to enjoy your drink alone or with friends. The menu is expansive. There is something for everyone here. I decided to start at the top with the Best Drink Ever. An Americano with their signature creamy vanilla added. Shuttle, not too sweet and coffee forward... which is always my preference. I'm here for the beans not the diabetes. The list is large of specialty drinks, so many directions you can go. Also a nice selection of teas, smoothie and even açaí bowls. So I will be back to try more. They also had some food options that looked good and a great assortment of pastries. Unfortunately I just had a large dinner so I will have to be hungry next time I drive through. The staff was well versed in the menu and provided some recommendations. They were very busy and the lobby was packed. But the staff remained chipper. I'm hoping they expand into west LA but this San Diego based chain is worth a visit if you are passing through.

    Amazing!!!!
    Hopi H.

    Amazing service!!!! Drive through literally takes seconds for an order to be completed. I tried the chocolate croissant and it's just heaven!!!! Crispy and lots of chocolate!!! Better Buzz is awesome and I thank you Josh for your professionalism and work ethic!!! The vibe is also cozy I love it!!!!

There was also a yogurt-like cream on the bottom, and I personally could have gone without this cream, but loved the drink nonetheless! Service: You self order, and the drink comes out pretty fast in five to ten minutes. The cashiers are nice and call you by your name! Ambiance: The best quality about this cafe is it's such a nice place to study with many tables inside, a few tables outside, and a clean bathroom. Parking is also easy with a upstairs lot facing Vivot! There's also a bit of area to walk around the cafe for a study break! Also huge shout out to this cafe's hours as they're open from 7 AM-11 PM, so you feel no rush to quickly finish your tasks! Please come to Vivot for not only a refreshing drink, but a beautiful place to study that is open late!

    My second time here…read more Drinks: underwhelming. Not well proportioned ingredients between the chosen flavor, milk and matcha. Waterdowned with plenty of ice. Price: overpriced for both drinks and sandwivhes. Although I don't mind paying extra for a satisfying drink, this one is not one of those. Ambiance: the walls, decor, plants and furnitures needs plenty of improvement. It looked like they were going for a minimalist look but it seems too bland and all over the place. I appreciate the music but the overall ambiance is not very inviting. Service: self serve to order and they ask for tip? The customers are expected to clear the tables and put away food and drink containers. It doesn't make sense. Parking: it's downtown fullerton, unless you know the area, it might be difficult for you to find parking especially during peak hours. But there's a couple of parking structure nearby which is a plus because it's covered and free. By the way, I initially ordered the classic strawberry matcha for comparison to other matcha drinks I've had from other cafes and I came the 2nd time to try the matcha flight to give it a chance but I was underwhelmed on both times. On both occasion I ordered my drinks with coconut milk and it was so overpowering and matcha flavor is very mild and with addition of plenty of ice, it taste like a waterdowned green drink that's milky in flavor.

I ordered the Caramel Bliss latte (got it half sweet)... it's a caramel latte with vanilla cold foam and caramel drizzle. The prices here are good! The coffee is advertised as $5.99 and after tax comes out to about $6.50 which is still cheaper than most coffee shops these days. The drinks itself tasted amazing! Not too sweet and great flavor. I liked that you can actually taste the coffee. I think since it has cold foam it's still on the sweeter side so if you don't like coffee too sweet maybe skip the foam.

It's quite inconspicuous if driving past the cafe, but as we walked toward it, we noticed customers using their patio. We were greeted as we walked up to order using the kiosk. A few of the tables have handwritten notes underneath clear glass. I noticed many heartfelt messages that sparked my imagination as to how the writers must've felt. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere with chatter from local customers who seemed to know the owners well. We had also played a card game after eating, so this cafe is good for that as well. The owners were friendly and even took our plates and cups once we were finished. There's very limited parking right next to the cafe, so I had to make use of residential streets. However, it's worth making a trip here to try this coffeehouse. Also, It's interesting how they open early at 7 am per Google Maps. I usually don't see cafes opening that early, but this is a good tidbit of information for the future.
