    Hot chocolate 5/5
    Krystal R.

    Im not a coffee drinker, so I didn't come here for the coffee. I heard they have really good avocado toast. So I came in to read my book and get a bite to eat. Ended up getting the better breakfast with tomatoes and avocado! BOMB! 5/5 I also got a hot chocolate. BOMB! 5/5 Love how clean it is. The ambiance is super cute. Love the backdrop by the bathroom. The young lady behind the counter is super friendly and sweet. My order was up quick. The bathrooms are clean, you need a code to get in. Love the seating set up inside. Love that they have outlets on the bench side so you can charge your phone/laptop! HUGE! Ill most definitely be coming back to do my reading/studying.! Oh and the music Playlist they had going on, LOVED IT!!!

    This was my first experience at better buzz The employees were so kind, and patient which I appreciate. Next time I come here I will order the sandwiches and try a pastry, but as for the coffee it was delicious!! Loved their matcha. The place has plenty of seating, is clean, and the employees were very professional I will be coming back

    This Better Buzz location is my least favorite. Bad and slow service. Always has homeless people sleeping inside. Bathrooms are disgusting. I don't understand their seasonal flavors either. I did like the pumpkin chai but it was short lived. They just opened another location a mile away in the old El Pollo Loco by the high school.

    It's a great surprise to find this spot. The coffee in the espresso oil coated my mouth. The customer service was spot on, and the vibe was bright and cheerful. The food was delicious and the price point was sweet.!

    Light music in background in outdoor seating.. inside very modern look and hip.. love it.. not that many seatings.. Busy drive thru took them a bit to get to us but they were so sweet about it. Ordering was easy, Jaylene was super helpful and gave us a good description of drinks which made it easy to order according to what we were wanting Iced Moroccan spice, Horchatta latte and a slice of the banana chocolate loaf... yum! From the first sip and first bite!! Thanks Karla. Thank you, our first experience here and we loved it.. thanks again!!!

    Horchata latte

    The ambiance was welcoming, has a separate section from ordering and seating area. I decided to try something different and ordered the horchata latte. It was good, but not the best I've had. The cup was a bit sticky since it wasn't wiped down, which made it less enjoyable to hold. Parking can also be tricky since the lot is small and fills up fast. The staff didn't seem very friendly during my visit, which was a little disappointing, but overall the drinks are still worth trying.

    Plenty of parking, has a drive thru and a decent size lobby that has a lot of outlets in each table so no one is looking or trying to get a seat with it. Near the beach too, great to get a cup of Best Drink Ever and walk to the beach during a nice day. Service was fast and great, the scanner wasn't working at the time but I still got my points, I just gave them my phone in order for them to scan, no biggie. The Nutella crossiant is more on the chocolatey side, it's a bit too much for me but it was good, I had to save the rest for later, got it served warmed.

    Great new location in Oceanside. Love the drive-thru! Also, recommend downloading the app and place order ahead of time. Walked in, nice music playing. All the employees were working very hard. When I got to the counter was greeted warmly. Asked if I was part of their loyalty program. Drink was delicious! Made quickly. Although it is sweet, it's not overly sweet. There are plenty of customizations available. There is street parking and a parking lot.

This bowl was next level -- the prettiest one I've ever seen and somehow even better tasting than it looked. First of all -- it's ALL VEGAN. Everything. No weird additives, no junk, just high-quality superfoods layered perfectly. You can literally taste the freshness and care in every bite. The açaí was thick and smooth, the chia layer was perfect, the strawberries were insanely fresh, the granola had the best crunch, and the drizzle on top? Unreal. And the girl working there? AMAZING. So kind, so welcoming, and she made the bowl with actual love and precision. You can tell she takes pride in what she does. She made the BEST açaí bowl in the world. Period. What I love most is that it's super high-class superfoods clean ingredients, powerful nutrition but the price is still totally reasonable. You're getting premium quality without feeling ripped off. If you care about your health, if you love plant-based food, if you want something beautiful AND delicious GO HERE. Immediately. Best açaí bowl I've ever had. Prettiest bowl I've ever seen. All vegan. Elite ingredients. 10/10 experience.

From the moment we arrived, Sierra greeted us with her kindness and attentiveness. She was warm, welcoming, and genuinely present, checking in at just the right moments without ever feeling intrusive. It was clear she truly cared about creating a positive experience, and that level of attentiveness made a big difference. Bryce was equally impressive in his approach. What shined was his care and attention to detail, especially when it came to accommodating my allergies. He made a point to ask questions before taking action, ensuring that everything was handled safely and thoughtfully. I appreciated how realistic and transparent he was about what could and couldn't be modified, which helped build trust and made me feel more at ease navigating the menu. His professionalism and awareness were evident throughout. Drea also made a strong impression with her calm and reassuring presence. She approached everything with a sense of patience and understanding, and I felt genuinely understood and validated in my requests and concerns. Her demeanor helped create a relaxed environment, which is especially meaningful when dealing with dietary needs. She balanced efficiency with empathy in a way that felt very natural. As for the food and drinks, my friend really enjoyed the Buccaneer smoothie and even went back for a second cup of drip coffee, which they said was smooth and satisfying. I had an avocado, egg, and tortilla burrito, and I especially liked the house brown sugar coffee, which had a rich, slightly sweet flavor that came through as a highlight for me. Overall, while navigating modifications can sometimes be challenging, the staff made the experience feel manageable and supportive. Their kindness, attentiveness, and willingness to accommodate made a lasting impression, and it's clear that the team truly values customer care. I appreciated the window so we could order outside, sit outside, be right by the ocean and have access to restrooms.

I ordered the California breakfast burrito with kalua pork, and wow--easily one of the most delicious burritos I've had.

I paired it with a Mexi mocha, which was also fantastic--rich and comforting, with that nostalgic Abuelita chocolate vibe that makes it feel extra special. On top of the amazing food, the service was super sweet and impressively fast. And the view? You really can't beat enjoying your meal right by the beach. All around, an unforgettable casual breakfast experience. I'll definitely be thinking about that burrito for a long time.

I scratched off an expiration date and found another label underneath! They just slapped a new one on to make it look fresh. -The soups are left out for at least a week and are heated at the beginning of the shifts. The heaters for the soups are turned off when the closer leaves. I was there at the opening time a few months ago and I guess one of the employees forgot to turn the heater on and I was served a cold soup. The soups are rotting and changing temperatures and they continue to serve it!!!!!! -The açaí used is not actually raw açaí berries but packets of frozen açaí which is extremely concerning for an "acai bowl and smoothie place". -As I was waiting by the counter for my bowl I heard the employees discussing a RAT ISSUE that they said had been persistent for multiple weeks!!! One of the employees told his coworker that A RAT HAD CRAWLED INTO THE REFRIGERATOR!! I'm not ashamed that I was eavesdropping on their conversation because this is ridiculous! Once the other worker noticed me listening they instantly stopped talking and started whispering to each other, then tried to pretend like had nothing happened. -Lastly, a majority of the employees are incredibly rude. When you ask for simple modifications some of them groan or complain. They expect tips for little to no effort and stare like you did something wrong even though they have a job to do. After one employee was rude to me when I asked to swap almond milk with water on my açaí bowl, I asked for her name. But after asking, she gave me a DIFFERENT EMPLOYEE'S name in order to cover herself!! (I printed a receipt and saw her real name). But, some of the employees were very nice and asked me how my day was going every time I ordered or continued conversation with me. Overall, this establishment has reached its last straw for me. I'm tired of dealing with the nonsense this place offers and am excited for it to be replaced with apartment homes in the near future. Hopefully this will bring in tourists to Carlsbad rather than waste the pretty lawn it sits on.
