    Iced white mocha latte -- delicious
    Patrick ..

    Bottom Line Up Front: Better Buzz is a Southern California coffee chain that delivers delicious beverages, excellent customer service, and an overall experience that makes it feel like a mom-and-pop shop. The Drinks: I got the Best Drink Ever. That's not an exaggeration, that's literally the name of the coffee. It's a classic americano with creamy vanilla. Does that make it the best ever? No, but it was tasty ... though, I ordered half sweet and it was still more sugary than expected. Since I ordered it hot, I saved half in the fridge and then served it on ice later to dilute the sweetness. My wife got an iced White Chocolate Mocha, which was delicious. She also got it half sweet and it was well balanced, perhaps because it was already iced. The Service: I've been here a few times and the staff is always super friendly, very knowledgable, and quite accommodating. Unlike other places where it can be hit and miss or straight-up incompetent, Better Buzz always has, well, better service. Props to the management for proper training and good judgement when hiring. The App: Despite being a regional chain, Better Buzz has a superior mobile app than many international companies. It's simple to use, easy to read, and even provides me with random coupons, deals, and even a free drink from time to time. The Prices: While the cost of coffee has skyrockted everywhere since the pandemic, the prices here aren't exorbitant. Cheap? No. But also not a ripoff. In a world where a "fancy" coffee is now $8, but it's a relief to see at least one brand keeping regular-sized drinks around the $5-to-$6 range. The Location: This particular shop is easy to access off of Imperial Highway, but only if you're going westbound, as it's an easy right turn. However, if you're going eastbound, you'll have to turn left across three lanes of busy traffic to access the entrance to the plaza where Better Buzz is located. The same problem exists when leaving the plaza. Fortunately, there's plenty of parking throughout this commercial strip mall. The Setting: The interior is clean, well organized, and nicely decorated with just the right amount of decor. There are plenty of tables to choose from and the seats are comfortable. The Conclusion: Unlike a certain Seattle-based franchise, Better Buzz is a local chain that offers great drinks at reasonable prices with excellent customer service that doesn't make you feel like just another number.

    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.

    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).

    Coconut Macadamia Best Drink Ever and YES, IT IS!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    I tried this place on a whim since I needed to get some work done, but the library wasn't open yet. I gotta hand it to them, not only is the coffee actually good (I got the Best Drink Ever/Half-Sweetened), but it was spacious, clean, and the perfect place to get some work done. The staff was very friendly too. My wife got the Matcha Latte and liked it. Definitely am making this my new go-to work office away from work. #GodBlessCoffee

    always pass by this place and today was the day I finally stopped in! super cute, clean and chill place to study. they have free wifi and outlets! got the iced vanilla bean latte and appreciate it not being too overtly sweet. the seating is comfy and plenty here at this location. it is a sunday so I can see it being busier possibly during fri/sat nights. cashier was helpful as well to suggest what drink to get! thanks sam!

    Just tried the new macadamia coconut matcha latte at Better Buzz Placentia and I'm obsessed! The matcha is smooth, and the macadamia coconut adds the perfect creamy, tropical twist. The drive-through was easy and the workers were super nice. Highly recommend!

    Better Buzz Coffee had an amazing selection of Coffee, Matcha, and Pastries. I personally tried the Cinnamon Cream Cold Brew and I guarantee you that my drink of choice did not disappoint. The environment was clean and welcoming. I'd recommend this location if you're near the area or if you want to try a new location! 10/10

Never been in before, but the fellas working behind the counter were super friendly and helpful to show me their menu. It was about $11.79 for a smoothie. Ok the pricier side. And I'll admit, I was sad when it was bland tasting compared to the sweetness of the chain smoothie joints. The responsible side of me realizes it is because they do not add an excessive amount of extra sugars and juices, so it was definitely heartier and more filling. It is what I would feed my 3 year old daughter as a treat because we don't need the extra sugars. Will I crave this place? No. Would I come back? Yes, because they make an honest smoothie and a good hide out to do some work between field appointments.

However, they don't offer any unique flavors or toppings in comparison to other Acai places. Their bowls are a little on the pricier side for quantity (you get A LOT more bang for your buck at Banzai Bowls) but still enjoyable. The inside seating is nice and comfortable & there are accessible bathrooms. Service was quick and friendly. The menu is easy to navigate and they have tablets you can order off of. A great place overall BUT I think if I'm looking to get another Acai bowl, I'll be going to Banzai Bowls or Earth Bowls instead.

Also, I bought a spinach and cheese empanada and a chicken empanada ($5.25/each). You have many options when creating a bowl online. I got mine with pitaya as a base with hemp granola, strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, goji berries, diced almonds, pistachio butter, agave, and even bee pollen as toppings. The pitaya bowl was really refreshing and nicely sweet. I appreciated that it wasn't too tart. Combining the kiwis with the pitaya was a great choice. I enjoyed how the kiwis were diced; you'd have enough to chew. The goji berries stuck on my teeth, so I don't plan on getting those next time. It was my first time trying hemp granola, and the earthy flavor didn't quite suit my taste buds. I'd rather choose another type of granola. My most adventurous choice was adding on bee pollen, but I couldn't discern its taste due to lacking a frame of reference. The two other empanadas were adequate. While I didn't eat the chicken empanada, I received feedback that it tasted a little bland. However, I did like the spinach and cheese empanada, though it was a little salty. Overall, I'd come back to try another bowl. The location is convenient with covered parking. It was empty inside, but I still had a warm greeting from the person who prepared my food.
