Great place! Tried for the first time recently, Victoria helped me out and recommended Peanut Butter Cream Best Drink Ever and also the killer bee both drinks were amazing. The place was packed but service was super fast and awesome. read more

I wanted to share my experience because it's been consistently disappointing. I stop by the drive-thru at Better Buzz most mornings, and while the food and drinks are always great, my interactions with one employee, Jocelyn, have not been. Almost every morning, Jocelyn comes across as rude and unfriendly. She doesn't seem to have a welcoming attitude, and it often feels like customers are an inconvenience. A simple greeting or a kind tone can make a big difference, especially first thing in the morning. I genuinely enjoy Better Buzz and will continue coming because the quality of the food and drinks is excellent. However, I hope management addresses the customer service at the drive-thru, as it doesn't reflect the great experience the rest of the team and products provide. read more

My drive thru experience today was great! Zach took my order and had great recommendations along with an upbeat personality. Line went by fast and overall experience was pleasant. So excited to have a Better Buzz local to me! read more

We love it here. We order vanilla latte. The absolute best we ever had. Laurissa made some wonderful recommendations, and we were thankful for her recommending the latte. Service was outstanding. It's a really cute place with a comfortable vibe. read more

Got the cinnamon cold brew and the horchata latte. The cold brew was good. The horchata latte is good too but on the sweeter side for me. Maybe next time I'll add an extra shot of espresso or maybe see if they can decrease the sweetness? Either way, we'll be back to try the other drinks. P.S The straw is hella weak. The crack went all the way down the straw and we didn't even bite ours. Update: came back a day after. Bought 4 drinks. 2 of them were wrong. Asked for almond milk on one, got the regular milk. Ended up wasting that drink. As for the other one, asked for a dirty chai but that chai did not even have a shot of espresso I requested. Threw the receipt so I'm not sure if we got charged for the extra shot. MIL was disappointed at her refresher. Looked different from the photo. She was hoping it had a cute presentation like the photo ( topped with a flower). We came at night this time. The barista didn't seem to be enthused to be there. But then again, maybe she's just ready to go home. The music was louder than it was in the morning. Gave me club vibes. Would I ever come back? Maybe-- maybe I'll just order a plain cold brew. That's kinda hard to mess up read more

I heard about the hype with Better Buzz coffee in San Diego so I decided to visit this location as it's closer to where I live. I'm beginning to think it's for people who aren't really coffee fans or just goes for the hype and aesthetics. The interior of the store is black and white modern designs with tan interior. They did a good job creating an inviting ambiance that's for sure. Some sticky table so that was a bummer. I noticed on their menu that they various classic coffees and sweet mixes. Given that this is one of my first visits I ordered a classic "best Drink Ever" which was classic Americano with their signature creamy vanilla. It was ok tasting. The coffee tasted burnt and not as fragrant. We also got their "Hazelnut Divinity" which is their white chocolate mocha with a touch of hazelnut. This one drink was way too sweet! The OG Açaí bowl looked good and I'll probably try that one next time. Will be back to try their other flavors. read more

Better Buzz Coffee Riverside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

While the Drive-Thru staff were friendly and patient, our coffees were not what we thought they would be. The place is clean and their outside landscape is perfect for the area. But we had never been there before and decided two of their "most popular". I got the Carmel Vanilla Best Drink Ever and my wife got the Banana Pudding Best Drink Ever. They were not the Best Drink Ever. The Banana Pudding had a barely there hint of banana but it was mostly creamy coffee. The Caramel had caramel but i mostly tasted vanilla and it was a stronger coffee flavor and not as sweet as I like or thought it would be. There are other drinks I would try, but not in a hurry to go back. read more

When I tell you I have been counting down the days to try better buzz.. my sisters has received daily updates since construction commenced. We went opening day.. or night depending on who you ask. We arrived at 3:45 am and the line was wrapped. Staff kept things very organized and energy high. We made it inside by 4:30am and were the last ones to receive the free hat giveaway. They had multiple people taking orders and a whole team behind the counters working to get through the growing line. We ordered: ham&cheese croissant, best drink ever, and the exclusive peanut butter cream. The wait was decent considering the line and the fact that it's their first day open. My croissant was sooo good that the $8 price tag doesn't sting too much. The peanut butter is subtle, we excepted more. The best drive ever - was good, but idk if it's the best I've ever had. Overall it was a very good first impression. Vibes were good, staff was very nice and welcoming from outside to inside and the place was decorated very well. I can't wait to go back! read more

BUZZING & POPULAR! Better Buzz is definitely the coffee darling of 2026 in SoCal. Each time I visit, the coffee and treats get better and better. I HAD to visit BB Riverside as it was their grand opening. I needed to try their store-exclusive Peanut Butter Best Drink Ever! Pair it with oat milk, it's so good! Furthermore, I had a lemon poppyseed muffin and a can of Liquid Death to stay hydrated. I have two locations closer to me but this spot has a special kind of vibe. It's fun, inclusive, and the atmosphere felt like a celebration of sorts. The drive-thru was PACKED, the sun was shining, but so were the polite staff! Overall, there was great line management considering this is smack in the middle of the Day street shopping hub. I opted to order inside so I can check out the shop, merch, and general customer service so I can report to the Yelp Elite Squad. A+ across the board, some of the staff were brand new baristas, but I appreciated seeing them getting trained and supported! The team worked well, my order was out in less than 7 minutes and it was BUSY ya'll. Loved their dedication! One girl scanned the whole store and noticed my table was semi-dirty, she came over and asked if she could wipe my table down! She apologized without me saying a word. I was going to just leave it be since I knew the staff were busy but they did not miss a beat, that's fantastic! The shop has merch available to purchase such as beanies, hats, shirts, hoodies, coffee bags, and mugs. Additionally, the front has canned drinks like Liquid Death and other products. Overall, the inside of the shop is comfortable. A restroom is available, just ask for the keypad code before you enter. If you're looking to eat outside, there's an outdoor patio. read more

Over priced. Food and drinks are tasty. Staff is ok. Inside is very clean. Drive thru takes forever. It'll still take 20+ minutes to get your order even if you order ahead in the app. read more

First time visit, we waited to go weeks after opening so hopefully they had a good flow. Unfortunately we were wrong we stopped by around 8pm ordered a warmed chocolate chip cookie, banana pudding best drink ever, and pumpkin pie best drink ever. We waited in the drive thru line a total of around 40 minutes with 3 cars ahead of us. The hype isn't worth it, cookie was not warmed up and the banana pudding and pumpkin pie had 0 banana and 0 pumpkin flavor. Both drinks tasted exactly the same with a weird bitter/burnt taste. Best thing I could compare it to is like gas station coffee. Just overall bad and overpriced. Won't be coming back. read more

First time here. I chose to come inside bc the drive thru was super long. That was a good move bc there was only 2 people ahead of me. Inside is very spacious and clean. The guy at the register was super nice and helpful as I ordered my drinks. The wait for the drinks was not long at all and they kept checking on my order. 10/10. Coffee is fire too read more

Whats the buzz? New coffee shop? Yes please! I can appreciate a chain, but this one in the IE was pretty good. First timer, a lil out the way from me but always in that area, I'll keep it in mind when I'm over there. Service was good, little slow for being new, so busy was expected. I tried the banana matcha. It was pretty good. I also tried the peanut butter cookie ice coffee. Also good. Had the zucchini bread and breakfast sandwich all were good. The restaurant was a little loud but fun outgoing atmosphere. cute wall signs. Overall good experience. read more

got the banana pudding best drink ever. strong words. but its pretty good, i'd take this over anything at starbucks. plan on trying their single origin coffee next time. i think other people have mentioned it, the only negative is the music is blaringggg. i can't hear my own thoughts... which could be a plus on certain days hehe. but i'd probably come more often to try out more things on the menu and work on my laptop if the music were a little lower. maybe its intentional that they don't want folks taking meetings and mooching off the (solid) free wifi so i get it. no other complaints - service was great, lady in the front encourages you to get the large, but the large is kinda huge so i'll stick with the small next time. lower the music and i'll come more often :) update: actually, if you look at all the other buzz coffees in the area, people say the same thing about the loud music. looks like the loud music is here to stay :( read more

The iced coffee drinks and food are all soooo good! Door dashed an order to work, and was not disappointed! We will definitely be going in person to try out more options. read more

My granddaughter and I journal our coffee dates. We came to Better Buzz in Riverside/Mo Valley today and it was exceptional.

Friendly service from Adrian in the drive thru!The Banana Pudding best drink ever was made to perfection!

Amazing staff great customer service love this coffee. I will definitely be coming more often.

First time coming here since it just opened up here! The line was long for the cars! I went inside to try a Carmel macchiato! It was just what I wanted! Nothing special! The employees were all very nice and friendly and moving around helping each customer to get their drink as fast as they could! The inside has been redone as it used to be a Taco Shop! The outside also had be redone and painted! read more

Stopped by the new Better Buzz in Riverside this morning and was beyond impressed! The café is spotless, with a beautiful, modern aesthetic that makes it such a welcoming place to relax or grab your morning coffee. Alfred's hospitality truly stood out--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming with a smile. The coffee was excellent, and the outstanding service made the entire experience even better. Definitely a wonderful way to start my morning. I'll absolutely be back! read more

Love the concept and bee mascot for the business. Chili crisp wrap was good, but could be more spicy. It should come with a spicy dipping sauce. Moroccan spiced iced coffee was ok, needs to be more sweet. Friendly service and fast drive-thru. Clean and fun coffee shop experience. I'll be back to try their regular coffee drinks. read more

The decor is so buzzing cute! I love the honeycomb features and all the bee accents. The food was delicious, I got the chili jam croissant (eggs, sausage, arugula, spicy honey jam). But the coffee wasn't great, my Vanilla Latte had a strong, bitter, burnt taste. I'll definitely be back to try something else, and please add some sugar-free options! These drinks are pretty high in calories, so they're a nice treat every now and then. I would recommend to call complete orders when ready so many people standing and waiting for each part of there orders. Overall, great location and the staff were all really pleasant. read more

Always the friendliest staff. Every time Albert is there he genuinely brightens my mood! So funny and somehow always convinces me to get a sweet treat. He greets everyone with the best energy. Super good at multitasking when it gets busy. I love the drinks at Better Buzz more than other coffee shops but the staff is truly what keeps me coming back for more and in my opinion Albert gives the best recommendations and always lets everyone know when there's a promotion. Get the horchata latte if you go! read more

Love Better Buzz, I go to the one near my job in Anaheim. But since this closer to my home, I decided to go to the grand opening at 4am. Though were lots of people the Better Buzz Team handle it well and it was well organized. I waited in the drive thru line, the gentleman organizing the line of cars ensured that no other cars were cutting and maintained a good flow of traffic, and was quite communicative to us. He also gave me some food suggestion such as the carnitas egg bites and the matcha, which I ordered. My order consisted of these items: Ice Lavender Tea latte (for myself), Ice Matcha Latte, and Iced Carmel Vanilla Latte and for food the Carnitas egg bites and Carnitas egg tacos (for myself). Let me tell you those carnitas tacos are by FAR my favorite food item so flavorful and the sauce that comes with it is creamy with a nice kick to it not overly spicy but the tacos are so flavorful (I gave my mom the egg bites she haven't tried them yet, I went when she was sleep). Most of the hot food, if not all, is HOUSE-MADE, meaning it's made to order!!! So it's FRESH!!! I took a sip of each drink and they were so creamy and flavorful, the matcha not to earthy, the lavender isn't overbearing in the tea, and Carmel vanilla latte was sweet (not overly sweet) and maintained its coffee flavor. My favorite thing was the man dressed as the Better Buzz Bee he was such a vibe! We vibed and he put a glowing lightstick in my car lol. Love ya Better Buzz Bee! I'm so excited there's one in Riverside/Moval area! read more

Food -8/10 Vibes - decent not recommended for studying or doing work. (It's tooo loud and a lot going on ) but maya be give it 2 months and the hype will die down Service- decent drive thru window girls were a bit too busy having a conversation to actually pay attention to the window. Unfortunately food was wrong and we were charged double when we only ordered one of each ordered item ;( Also there's way tooo many people at the drive thru window ! We counted 5 heads just standing around and the main girl was actually working the window. read more
