    Large nitro coffee after it settled
    Caleb A.

    My first visit to Better Buzz. I'd always assumed it was worth the wait as the Encinitas location is perpetually packed, but now I understand why the line moves so slowly. It's not demand, it's understaffing. The person taking orders was juggling at least three roles at once. No fault of the barista's. The bigger disappointment, though, was the coffee itself. I ordered a large nitro, expecting the cold, creamy pour you'd get anywhere that does it well. It arrived over ice, already a red flag. I asked for a remake without ice, which they handled graciously, but what came back was flat, barely half a cup once it settled, with none of the velvety texture nitro should have. Just watered-down, lukewarm coffee.

    I had to try the new Vanilla Bean Oat Milk Iced Espresso. I was a little concerned because I do not do overly sweet beverages, but the young lady at the register assured me it was not very sweet and she was right. The beverage's subtle sweetness came from the vanilla bean syrup. Both the vanilla flavor and sweetness was very limited in a helpful way. It allowed the espresso and oat milk flavor to stand out, which made the coffee drink enjoyable to drink. They put just the right amount of ice and the drink was refreshing. Oh yes, I also had a zucchini walnut loaf with the iced espresso and it was very good. I do recommend it. Both actually. The hospitality was good. It was not as upbeat as the last Better Buzz visit in Imperial Beach, but good enough. The service was very good. They had my order ready even before I sat down at a table. I was like, "let me chill a moment," which was a joke of course.

    Cinnamon cream cold brew

    Ordered the large cinnamon cream cold brew & it too sweet for my liking -- would probably order it half sweet next time if I come back. Large size was VERY large! There are better coffee shops out there, but the employees were super nice & it's an overall clean location with outlets and lots of seating to WFH/study at.

    Strawberry Rose Best Drink Ever.

    I wanted to order my usual this afternoon but glad I went with the suggestion made about the Strawberry Rose Best Drink Ever......so good! It's such a pretty drink, not too sweet of course and was just the pick-me-up that I needed! Thank you to the barista taking the drive thru orders-you were on point and the drink made my day!

    Fantastic coffee and service from a woman who was so enthusiastic and friendly, wish I had got her name. Their banana bread is to die for! Good location with a clean lobby and they have a drive thru if you don't feel like getting out. Highly recommend better buzz!

    Clean and comfortable. Well maintained. Friendly service. Efficient. Nice selection of coffees, teas, and food items.

    Caprese sandwich
    Stephanie S.

    I ordered a caprese sandwich and a pink smoothie with dragonfruit in it. Both were delicious. I like how the food was freshly made. The bread on it wasn't hard when toasted and the mozzerella cheese was nice and melted with a nice cheese pull. The arugula really complemented the sandwich a lot surprisingly. I was nice and full for brunch. The service was exceptional here. My hubby got the best drink ever banana one he loved it too. I think it had a nilla wafer and whipped cream in it. It tasted very good for a cold brew drink.

    The ambiance is really chill and the service was amazing! Grayce was so nice! She explained the menu and her fave choices. Especially the seasonal drinks and their best drink. The seasonal banana pudding best drink ever and the Nutella croissant was!!! If you need a pick me up stop here on the way to SD or heading back to LA!!

    My first time at Better Buzz and it was super yummy! I got the Banana Pudding Best Drink Ever and it was delicious I also had the Nutella croissant warmed up and I was in heaven. My barista, Grayce, was so friendly and explained the drinks on the menu that I was interested in. Great music too!

    For only being open for a few weeks, they are doing great! I did go opening day and service was fantastic and my drink tasted exactly the same as other locations, so their quality control is great too. I've enjoyed going through their drive-thru as it's pretty fast, but my most recent visit, i decided to walk in and order. It didn't take too long for our drinks to be made, even though they were busy. Again, our drinks tasted right, so the quality is there. The staff is very friendly and welcoming too. Plenty of seating inside and a few seats outside. Really easy to park as well since this is located in a shopping plaza. The drive thru line could get long but they have it setup so it would still be easy to park if you wanted to go inside instead.

We stopped by to try it. They offer specialties sandwiches, sandwich board, grilled sandwiches, house salads, and of course great selections of beer. The place has both indoor and outdoor seating.

It is located in a small strip with parking lot and has some indoor and outdoor seating. This is my second time trying board and brew in general and I am really underwhelmed with the sandwiches. This time, I tired the Baja wrap and it was really lacking flavor and was overwhelmed with guacamole. We ordered my son the kids grilled cheese, which was decent for him. We added a side of avocado for him and to my disappointment again, it was mashed avocado in a bowl instead of freshly sliced as I was envisioning. I will give it one more chance when I am able to eat the cold deli meat and see if those sandwiches are better for me.
