Espresso, Service, Ambiance all top quality. The staff that helped me out were top notch. Check this spot out, you won't regret it.

Thank you, Jules! You're so awesome! Very helpful and charismatic! Love this location!

Rob was great and provided an electrifying experience! Great hospitality and highly recommend!

Haven't been to this location until today! Usually go to the PB or OB. This might be the best location! Clean building! Very welcoming. Rob was nice and greeted me upon arrival. He was multitasking and making the flow of service quicker and better for his team! Glad to have stopped by today. It's been years since I've had a best drink ever! read more

I can't believe how popular Better Buzz has become! I was pleasantly surprised to find this location as soon as I stepped out of the parking structure on my way to La Jolla Cove. I've been to several of their Orange County locations, so it was nice to stumble upon one while I was on vacation. It felt like a little taste of home, even if home is only about 90 minutes away. Of course, I ordered my go-to Snickerdoodle Latte, and it was just as delicious as it is at every other Better Buzz I've visited. The location is super convenient for anyone heading to or from La Jolla Cove, and I'm sure I'll be back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Better Buzz Coffee La Jolla - Snickerdoodle Latte | IG @moniquedao - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

My matcha was grey. Half my matcha was in unsifted chunks at the bottom of the cup. See pictures. Food: 1/5 All the drinks are syrupy sweet. And just look at my matcha. It was only banana syrup. There are unsifted chunks at the bottom of the cup, and the color is just grey. Service: 1/5 And I would have complained about my drink too!! But everyone was so unfriendly and overworked here. There is only one minute of interaction during a transaction for me to decide if I like the service, and not only was the cashier unresponsive, she would also talk over me as I'm ordering. The one minute of interaction made me feel like a burden. Atmosphere: 2/5 It was cute in here. But I felt very unwelcome. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I have told everyone I know who likes matcha to avoid this place. Final rating: 1.33 (rounding down to 1 on Yelp) read more

Thought it was a stand alone coffee spot but it turns out they have a few locations. We stumbled across it as we were walking in La Jolla and of course we had to try it It has an interesting outdoor indoor vibe. There was a line but it went pretty quickly. They had a variety of drinks but I opted for a summer special which had a coconut macadamia cream on top. Drinks came out quickly considering it was busy. Taste of the coffee was good, not too sweet and it was cute too!!! Just fyi bathroom line is longer than the coffee line read more

It used to be great... note they have downgraded to a simple corporate store with super slow service, long lines and horrible food... One thing is to stand in line for 15 minutes to order but then the inefficiency of it, only to be rewarded with tiny portions that don't even fill half the container and in my case a blob of badly melted açaí with s mini sprinkle of the "special" offered toppings... read more

This place can get busy and there isn't much seating for the traffic that comes through. There's lots of food and coffee options which has nice. They have a lot of specialty drinks, tons of pastry items as well. The food does take a little while to get. Highly recommend the avocado toast. read more

Staycation coffee is the best!! Had better buzz before and it's still bomb! Service is fast, store is. Ice! Had the cinnamon cold brew....yum read more

This place has been my go to during my trip here in La Jolla. They are conveniently located by my hotel. The staff is super friendly and the ambience is really bright and lit. They offer many different choices such as a blackberry cheese, danish, scones, and cinnamon rolls. Love coming here I'm going to miss it when I have to head back home to another state where we don't have this. read more

Better Buzz Coffee La Jolla - Entrance - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Such a yummy drink - dirty chai latte with oat milk and banana cold foam. The cashier was so sweet helping us out since we had never been there before and I was asking about the menu. Our drinks came out quick and we took them with us as we walked around the town! I would love to try different drinks from there if I ever get back to one in CA. The shop is so fun since it's half inside and outside. It's expensive, but most coffee everywhere is expensive - especially in CA. read more

I had Better Buzz door dashed to work, and I was not disappointed! I do think that in general, Better Buzz might be a little more expensive than other coffee places. HOWEVER, the few times I've gone-they never ever miss on my drinks. What I mean by that is, I take one look at the color of the coffee and I know it's perfect. Whereas at other coffee places, I take a look at the drink and I know that they added too much creamer or not enough, just by looking at it and Better Buzz is very consistent, 100% in fact. So because of this, I'm willing to come here and spend a lil extra. Price aside, the drinks are always very very good. My favorite is the hazelnut divinity, it tastes like the milk leftover in your bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios. It's so so so good! I also ordered a prickly pear lemonade and that was really good, too! Highly recommend!! read more

Best drink ever is my FAV!!!!! This location is super spacious. Service is always great. Tony is awesome!

Walked to Better Buzz with my husband from where we were staying in La Jolla since he used to come here. He ended up getting the breakfast biscuit and coconut buzz while I got the bacon ciabatta. Coconut Buzz - Actually pretty good, it was a little too sweet for my taste, but I liked the coconut flavor to it. Wished the ice were a little smoother since it all clumped together in the middle. Bacon Ciabatta - For $10, I could have gotten something a lot better. It was pretty bland and didn't have much in it. The spicy aioli sounded a lot better than it actually was. Honestly, I would probably go to Starbucks instead of Better Buzz. It wasn't a terrible experience, but it was nothing amazing either. read more

We stopped here while exploring La Jolla. The prices were comparable to coffee places in the Midwest but the menu was so fun and I wanted to try everything! I went with a drink off their spring menu, the banana pudding best drink ever and it was so good! Just enough banana flavor to not make it overwhelming. I also got the better breakfast sandwich. It was so good. The arugula added such a fresh crisp and the pretzel bun was a unique touch I wouldn't have thought of. Despite it being busy the service was quick and everything was made fresh instead of being heated up in a microwave! Wish we had a few locations in MN! read more

Love this location located on Prospect St in La Jolla. This space has a very open concept and super close to the cove if you want to walk with your coffee. There was plenty of seating inside and outside and the staff was adequate. The Banana Pudding Best Drink Ever was delicious, but is definitely on the sweeter side. Cool spot! read more

Karen, Robert & the whole team are amazing! I can always count on everything coming out delicious and flawless. My favorite location by far!

the drink was pretty good but nothing special (I got a banana best drink ever). I feel like I've had better elsewhere. The main thing that bothered me was the fact that there was only 1 bathroom for the large size of this location. Service was great though - cashier and baristas were friendly. read more

Service was great and rob was really respectful and attentive .... He was awesome . This was my first time coming he made it special read more

This is a Quiet on the street type cafe. Not a lot of options for a pastry to have with our coffees. But we found a couple good ones. Sit out front , watch exotic cars n chat. Sounds ' bout right. read more

Very friendly staff and fast service. Drinks were great with a good selection. Food items were yummy as well. Overall, chill place and friendly environment. read more

I see a lot of bad reviews about service. I went in November and had such great service! The ladies were so nice to me and even chatted with me because they knew I was traveling. We visited on a Thursday and it wasn't too busy. I can see if it were a weekend it would get busier. Their signature drink is the Best Drink Ever. It's a classic americano and signature creamy vanilla. It was cool to see the layers and mixing it was pretty good. We also tried the the Mint Infused Iced Coffee. The mint flavor was spot on, I really enjoyed this one! read more

Go to coffee place when you want coffee, smoothies, food or tea. The different options allowed friends I was with to choose items other than just coffee. The coffee place is nice to sit and enjoy your items without rushing and has nice areas to sit and enjoy it, love the overall decor of Buzz coffee. I tried the pink dragon smoothie and was love that I was able to add or minus ingredients. The staff answered questions about items and the service was quick. You need a code for the bathroom so you just have to ask staff. read more
