best coffee, has the best options for fun delicious coffee, and always has such nice people working.

do not be deterred by the line, I came in on a Saturday morning at about 10 AM to a line out the door but as soon as I sat down to wait after I ordered my food and drink was basically ready It was a solid operation of people working in tandem to get orders out as quickly as possible. The food was really good, better than I would've thought, had some egg bites and a breakfast burrito, a smoothie and an iced Americano basically everything I needed to survive, well worth it. read more

To echo what others have said, parking is probably the biggest downside. The shop is located along the sidewalk in front of residential complexes, so there's no dedicated parking lot. Street parking is your best bet, though it may take a little patience. That said, once you walk in, the experience gets much better. I was immediately greeted with a smile, and the women working behind the counter were incredibly friendly and welcoming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is bright, clean, and has plenty of tables, making it a nice spot to study, work, or catch up with a friend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was a small mix-up with my order- they made my drink hot instead of iced, but they fixed it right away with no issues. I ordered the lavender tea latte and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The lavender flavor was noticeable without being overpowering, and the drink itself was light and smooth. Overall, aside from the minor order mix-up, I had a pretty positive experience. Great customer service, a cozy atmosphere, and a delicious drink. read more

I think I came here to on an off day and their system was down. I wasn't able to order ahead and I ended up waiting in a super long line. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is beautiful with plenty of space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is difficult to find, which is understandable based on the location. Once I placed my order, my food and drinks were ready relatively quickly... maybe about 5 minutes. I ordered the breakfast sandwich on the pretzel bun... it was just ok. The egg was precooked and frozen with an odd texture. I loved my coffee but my husband's was awful! read more

Cute little neighborhood coffee shop. Lots of seating and easy place to come to to hang out with friends and watch the world go by. They offer milk alternatives for us lactose sensitive folks! Not cool that they charge extra though. They gotta get on the band wagon with the other shops that don't charge extra. I would come here again. read more

There were several of these shops in the area. They had a number of different coffees, baked goods, as well as acai bowls. The service was friendly while ordering at the counter. I had the islander bowl ($11.99?). This was made to order so it took some time. It came with organic acai, granola, fresh berries, bananas, and shredded coconut. This was very filling. There was a nice balance of all the ingredients, and they all appeared extremely fresh. I liked how the ingredients are stacked as high as possible too. It was just a refreshing combination of flavors. Will I go back? Probably. read more

I was in town for a conference and a local suggested this place for coffee. I ordered their mint infused iced coffee. I've had mint infused coffee before at other coffee shops and I usually love them, but the coffee here tasted really watered down and had a burnt aftertaste to it. I also didn't taste any mint at all. I was super disappointed because I went out of my way to get coffee here before my conference started. read more

If you're anywhere near Mission Beach, Better Buzz Coffee is an absolute must-stop.

Better Buzz Coffee at Mission Beach is one of my favorite stops when I'm in the area. Prices are a bit high but that's normal for San Diego beaches and the quality makes it worth it. The coffee is excellent, always smooth and consistent, with a good selection if you want more than just the basics. The staff is friendly and upbeat, even when it's busy, and they keep things moving without making you feel rushed. The place is bright, clean, and right by the beach, which makes it perfect before or after a surf session. Every time I surf at Mission Beach I end up here for a coffee. Great coffee, great service, and a great location. read more

I ordered pickup from this Better Buzz Coffee location today. Although the order was not made correctly, they were willingly to made the correction without any issues. This location has a lot of seating inside with some outdoor seating options. It is located near a lot of other businesses on Mission Blvd so you could explore the area surrounding it. We ordered the nitro cold brew with the vanilla cream. The cream on top is thick cream that almost tastes like vanilla ice cream. The sweetness of the cream pairs nicely with the bitterness of the nitro cold brew. This drink was delicious! There is a variety of cold or hot drinks to choose from at Better Buzz Coffee. They also have some food options. We enjoyed our coffees at Better Buzz Coffee and would return! read more

There's nothing better than a good coffee buzz. We recently rented an Airbnb next to Better Buzz Coffee. A dangerous decision considering I can't get enough of this coffee shop and it's unique beverages. I ordered a round of drinks for the girls via their website. When we arrived for pick up, all drinks were perfectly prepared. We ordered a variety of options, but my favorite was their Snickerdoodle Latte with oat milk. This drink had the perfect amount of sweet to caffeine. Parking can be a bit difficult in this beach town, so I'd highly recommend walking/biking if possible. read more
