I love love love their coffee, but what made a lifelong customer is the kindness of the employees. Spencer who takes the orders in the morning went above and beyond for me this morning when I was trying to pay for my order - he truly is a gem and one of the kindest humans I've met in YL. Also their pistachio cinnamon best ever drink is to die for. read more

I really wanted to like this place because I always try to support new local businesses, and the shop itself is clean and inviting. Unfortunately, my experience with the coffee wasn't great. The first drink was very bitter, so I asked for it to be remade. It was still not good the second time. When I mentioned the taste, the response was to add a lot of caramel rather than address the issue. I understand that in any busy coffee shop, mistakes can happen especially when thousands of drinks are made every day. That's completely normal. What made the experience disappointing was how it was handled. The staff seemed visibly annoyed, and there wasn't really an effort to offer another solution even though the shop wasn't busy. In the end, I gave my $8 best drink ever coffe back to the employees and didn't finish it, and there was no offer to make it right despite it being clear I wasn't satisfied. Overall, it's a nice space, but the customer service during my visit didn't match the environment. read more

Airy, bright, clean, & roomy space with lots of options for seating: couches, high top tables, little low coffee tables, built in cushioned seating with outlets to charge your phone or to keep your laptop juiced. A convenient drive-thru too (4/5). I've been to many Better Buzz Coffeehouses, this one isn't the most charming or swanky, but it has the same delicious coffee. Today I ordered the caramel vanilla latte (4/5). I was greeted as soon as I opened the door, but they didn't even look up from what they were doing. They're very busy so the curt service is understandable (3/5). read more

WOW!!! I just ordered the NEW Coconut Macadamia Best Drink Ever and that's exactly what it is!!! The BEST DRINK EVER!!! I'm not a fan of blended, sugary cold coffees. I'm a hot black coffee drinker, but this one I will order repeatedly! I ordered it 1/4 sweet and it had the perfect amount of sweetness! THANK YOU, Shaun, for expediting my order! read more

This was our first visit here and the place is nicely set up. More of a living room feeling. Nice and clean. The server was excellent and reviewed the drinks they had and made sure that we knew what was in all of them. We did not get any food, but we did get a nice ice blended caramel coffee. Let me tell you this was great. We will definitely be back. read more

I pass by Better Buzz so often, yet it took me until my last visit to come through here. I did not know what to expect visiting Better Buzz, but it turned out to be a pretty nice coffee shop. I was really wanted to try their iced Horchata Latte, as I really enjoyed a drink similar from another coffee shop. Well, it was pretty good, but the other chain was better. It was not bad, just wasn't as creamy and cinnamon-y like the ones I've had. So I will say that their Horchata Latte is a lighter version of this drink. They do give a pretty heavy scoop of ice, which I was like I should've told them less, but it didn't make it taste any less horchata-y. Counter service was okay, though the staff was just talking with one another and guy I ordered my drink with almost missed my espresso shot in my drink, until his other co-worker told him my drink includes a shot. Thanks for catching that guy #2! One thing I did appreciate this coffee shop is that they have good seating space. I would return just for that. And this location is kind of in a smaller plaza in Placentia, so it's also not super busy in the plaza or at Better Buzz. Would I come back? Yep, probably. read more

Seems to be a popular site so we went there for coffee. 9 am on Saturday morning and there wasn't much wait inside but drive thru was busy. We ordered two drip coffees but literally had to wait and ask for our coffees for 10 minutes and I think it's because we didn't tip for ordering two drips and the coffee urns were right behind the cashier and after we asked for our coffees after 10 minutes, she reluctantly turned around and poured them for us. Pretty busy store so if you are looking for a cozy ambiance to sit down and enjoy a conversation, this might not be the place. read more

I had a really great experience at Better Buzz Coffee Roasters. I tried the orange raspberry scone, which tasted fantastic even without being warmed up -- though I can only imagine how wonderful it would be warm. The flavors were bright, fresh, and well balanced. For my drink, I ordered the gingerbread coffee, and it may honestly be one of the best coffees I've ever had. It was light, festive, and perfectly "Christmasy," with great overall flavor and just the right balance -- not overly milky or heavy with cream. The service was excellent across the board. The staff taking orders ahead of the menu and in the drive-through were courteous, friendly, and very helpful. Inside, the team was quick, efficient, and genuinely nice, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, this was a really positive visit, and I'd absolutely recommend Better Buzz for both their coffee and their customer service. read more

New coffee shop in Placentia with a drive thru - especially helpful for parents and not having to take kids out of the car seat! There was a short drive-thru line on a Thursday morning, so we decided to head inside instead. With just one person ahead of us, we were helped right away. Ordered a hot Best Drink Ever ($5.79) and the Horchata Iced Latte ($6.59) which were both were ready in under five minutes. Unfortunately, the coffee itself fell a bit flat - both drinks tasted somewhat watery and lacked strong flavor. I'll give it another try in a few weeks, especially since the vanilla bean latte caught my eye. Hopefully the coffee flavor improves next time. The interior was a light-filled, open design with ample places to sit. Located in the same plaza as M&J Donuts / Chuck E.Cheese. Location took over a previous Carl's Jr. Ample amount of parking in the shared lot. read more

Originating from San Diego, Better Buzz Coffee has opened another location here in OC! While there's already a location in Fullerton, I've only been to the SD spots before. I'm happy to see that this new coffee spot has been thriving during its opening week. From the moment you walk in, the entire team behind the counter cheerfully greets you. When you leave, you'll hear choruses of "Have a bee-autiful day!" and other fun bee puns. The woman working the drive-thru also had on this incredibly cute bee hat. Staff members worked efficiently like they've been doing this for years, and were attentive to maintaining the sitting areas too which I appreciate. I arrived on a Saturday morning and worked here for several hours. The line inside stayed consistently long, but the space never felt overcrowded thanks to the open layout. The music is loud, but it's energetic in a way that complements the tone this Better Buzz is going for: bright, caffeinated, and comfortable. The staff is patient and helpful when explaining menu items, and they'll call out your name when your order is ready. *Best Drink Ever (iced): I had their classic vanilla iced coffee. It was delicious, and for me, was the perfect amount of sweetness while still letting the vanilla flavor come through. *Deluxe Avocado Toast: The deluxe avocado toast comes on multigrain bread and includes cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, microgreens, with a balasmic glaze drizzled on top. You can add bacon or a boiled egg for additional cost. The toast was warm, delicious, and surprisingly filling. I plan to try more of their menu and add this cafe to my rotation of study spots. There is plenty of parking, and they do have a drive-thru. Inside, there's wifi, ample outlets, and comfortable seating from cushioned booths to high stools to a couch right in the middle. They also have bathrooms that are well-maintained and continue the bee-theme that prevails inside and out of the cafe. It's a great place to come by to study solo, catch up with friends, or spend time with family. Welcome to Placentia, Better Buzz! read more

The anticipation of Grand Opening was on Friday to our neighboring city 11.21.25 @ 5 a.m. Review 113/365 Day Challenge. If those that don't know yet, Looks like the old CarLs Jr at the ImperiaL Rose Plaza is finally making its construction becoming the new home to Better Buzz Coffee! I recall reading that it's becoming a coffee shop but didn't realize it's becoming BBC! Super estatic since I ventured to my 1st visit of BBC in the Fullerton location.

It's still a bit sweet. ~ avocado Toast is yummy. Can add bacon or eggs n it's delish! ~ Better Buzz breakfast sandwich was really yummy, with eggs n i added argula n avocado was delish! ~ Acai bowl are yummy and great for yourself or kids. Fresh fruits topped and not overly sweet at all. Sweeten was balanced. I've been hooked since n visited them 2 times already. The atmosphere of the coffee shop is nice & love the entire vibe at our location. I was here on 11.20 for the Family & Friends Sneak Peek & i didn't think I'd be crazy to come for the #GrandOpening 11.21 my body woke up naturally @ 5:40 a.m. and said ok...I'll just wing it to see if I make it for the 1st 200 customer and get mee this exclusive #Placentia Better Buzz Coffee They opened at 5 am n surely enough got here right b4 6 am and i was able to get my hands on a cap.

Attended the invitation only Friends and Family event on 11/20/25. Located in Placentia where Chuck E Cheese is located. (Took over the Carls Jr spot). Great event with a wonderful and very cheery staff that handled the crowd really well. There was definitely a positive buzz going on! Employees were cheering and was very accommodating... all done with smiles! Unfortunately some people misunderstood this to be the grand opening but it's not until tomorrow. They tried to accommodate some who weren't on the list but had to turn people away at 11am to get ready for the next time slot but were very nice about it. Food was very good and did not taste like prepackaged microwaved items. Coffee was amazing! First time here for me but definitely won't be the last! read more

I stopped by the new Placentia location of Better Buzz Coffee today! I have been to several other locations in San Diego county, but this was my first OC location. Having only known about them in SD, I was so excited to learn they were also in OC. I love their Iced Honey Latte. It always hits the spot. I ordered the Deluxe Avocado Toast. It comes with greens, ripe cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and a balsamic drizzle. My barista (who was super friendly) recommended I add the hard boiled egg. Great choice. I love that the bread has a deliciously crunchy crust with a softly toasted center. This location is along busy Imperial Highway, in a stand alone building with great drive thru access. Not all Better Buzzes have a drive-thr, so it was nice to grab my drink and food on my way to shopping. Looking forward to stopping by again. read more

Excited to see a new coffee shop in the North OC area, especially one with a good amount of indoor seating, and a drive thru! We went on their Grand Opening Day and decided to go through the drive thru so this review is only for that experience, and not their dine-in. I ordered a "Coconut Best Drink Ever" and the drink was yummy but definitely on the sweeter side of how I usually drink my coffee. Their festive holiday cups were also cute. It was very apparent it was their first day as service was not ideal. While in the drive thru, a worker was standing outside ready to take our order, but he hadn't even presented us with a menu. It was odd how they take your order before you get to the menu, but they don't even present you with a menu until you ask. The individual wasn't familiar with the items on the menu as he kept checking with the team for what items were available. The whole interaction seemed very confusing, but given that it was their grand opening, I wouldn't fault them for it (hence 4 stars for the coffee and because I like how there looks to be spacious indoor seating and a drive thru). Still would like to check out their dining area and other menu items. read more

The ambiance is clean and unique, with well-balanced decor that includes ample tables and space for networking, socializing, or reading. The noise level is just right.

This place opened up about a month ago and is always busy. We tried them out Sunday morning. The overall quality of the drink was decent but the inside was a bit dirty. The tables have not been cleared off. They were out of napkins and warm drink sleeves. Their food labels were not correct/updated. The seasonal scone said seasonal danish...the customer service was okay. I paid close to $20 for two drinks and a scone. The scone was a bit dry, could use a dab of cream. Maybe that should be offered with it. Overall our experience was mediocre because of things mentioned. read more

I finally tried the hyped new coffee spot in my neighborhood. The space is modern, bright, and inviting, with good music and a nice vibe. Unfortunately, the ordering process was confusing, and as a first-time customer, I felt rushed when asking for recommendations. I ordered a Hazelnut Divinity, the "Best Drink Ever," and a kids' vanilla steamed milk. The Hazelnut Divinity was very good, but the other two drinks were disappointing--no sweetness and no flavor. After a long wait, that was frustrating. When I mentioned the issue, the barista responded with noticeable attitude, which really took away from the experience. I was excited to try this place, but inconsistent drinks and poor service made it a letdown. read more
