Today was my second time coming for coffee and could possibly be my last. The first time we came the person taking our order was so rude. They would huff and puff every time we asked a question. But the lady at the window was super sweet, which made me want to come back. This morning the young man at the drive thru, was so so sweet. I didn't catch his name, but he has glasses and curly hair. He made a second time experience so much better... Until I got to the window and the man at the window was so dismissive and had a dry attitude. I wish their entire staff was as nice as those two!!!!! At least the coffee is really good!!! read more

Love better buzz... and this location... always on time and one day the lady did a teddy bear on my coffee... love it!

I love this better buzz, the drinks and food are amazing. I tried the feta avocado toast with chopped bacon on top and it was soo good. And not just that, the employees are so nice and friendly, I always feel welcome. Sophia was so sweet and patient when I had no idea what I wanted to order, she gave me a couple of recommendations-- her favorite drink is the hot lavender tea latte and when I tried it I immediately fell in love with it. I will definitely keep coming here!! read more

Ordered an açaí bowl and paid for 2x the almond butter and substituted the granola for gluten free granola. I even added a note saying it's my birthday and how much I love almond butter. They added half the amount of a normal serving of almond butter and completely left out the gluten free granola. The iced chai is pretty good though. read more

First time trying better buzz, loved it! Im definitely coming back , the coffee was surprisingly good and Sarah was so friendly while serving us and explaining the whole menu to us. Thankyou read more

Ugh, I'm kind of over this place. Plan on spending, on average, 8$ for a drink. Plan on a cluster of a parking lot, plan on long lines inside and drive-through, plan on about a 15 minute wait time for your drink. Also, my husband and I each had coupons for free drinks, waited in drive through only to be told we can only use 1 coupon per car. Ended up having to park and go in and do separate orders and wait in that line. Best part was my husband had ordered a hot coffee but they gave it to him iced. Because of already waiting twice, he just took the iced coffee. Inside is loud and crowded. Just not worth it for your time and money. Update: Management kindly reached out and offered to send us a gift card. Thank you! read more

Tried their matcha latte, horchata latte, better breakfast sandwich, and chili crunch breakfast wrap. The matcha was okay and could've used more matcha. It was pretty sweet. My bf's horchata latte was really good! We loved the breakfast sandwich and wrap but the wrap could've used more chili crunch. Also tried their paradise bar which was super good if you have a sweet tooth. And it was gluten free! read more

Better Buzz Coffee in La Mesa is a great spot for good coffee, and a relaxed vibe! The drinks are consistently well made, and you can really taste the quality of the beans. I tried one of their signature lattes, and it was smooth and not overly sweet. The food options are solid too, fresh and filling, though a bit on the pricey side! read more

I've sipped coffee from all corners of the globe--Parisian cafés, hipster dens in Brooklyn, and even a shack in the middle of a Costa Rican jungle--but none of them, and I mean NONE, hold a candle to the liquid gold Jillian serves up here. First off, let's talk about the coffee itself. I'm convinced they're sourcing their beans from some mythical coffee farm where the plants are watered with unicorn tears. Seriously, this stuff could wake up a hibernating bear and have it tap-dancing to Beyoncé in under 10 minutes. I used to think coffee was just coffee, but now I know that was a lie I told myself before Jillian introduced me to the true elixir of life. Jillian doesn't just make coffee--she creates caffeinated magic potions that turn your average Tuesday morning into a scene from an epic movie montage. Last Tuesday, I walked in with the enthusiasm of a sloth, and by the time Jillian handed me my Americano, I was ready to write a novel, climb Everest, and finally tackle that pile of laundry I've been ignoring for a month. But here's the kicker: Jillian has this supernatural ability to recommend the *perfect* coffee for every occasion. Hungover? Jillian's got a dark roast so smooth it could charm the hangover right out of you. Feeling fancy? She'll whip up a lavender latte so delightful that you'll start using phrases like "artisan" and "mouthfeel" without a hint of irony. Once, I mentioned I was in a weird mood, and Jillian made me an iced coffee so strong that I swear I astral projected into a better version of myself. And let's not even get started on her espresso shots. I'm pretty sure they're 90% caffeine, 10% rocket fuel. One shot, and suddenly, I'm speaking fluent Italian, reorganizing my life goals, and questioning why I ever drank anything else. The espresso here is so good, it should come with a warning label: "May cause spontaneous bursts of productivity and a sudden urge to start a tech company." Of course, the coffee shop itself is cool, but let's be honest--it's Jillian that makes this place legendary. She's the caffeine queen, the barista boss, the espresso empress. If there were a Nobel Prize for coffee, Jillian would win it every year. So, if you're looking for the best cup of coffee on planet Earth, with a side of Jillian's magic touch, get yourself here ASAP. Just don't be surprised if you start writing poetry about your cappuccino or trying to figure out how to legally adopt a barista. read more
