    Ham and Cheese Croissant
    Angela N.

    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!

    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.

    There's an ordering line and an online order pickup on the right.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Loved the iced snickerdoodle latte! This is such a cute place can't wait to try the food.

    Chili Jam croissant.
    Amanda E.

    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.

    I was invited to the sneak peak family and friends day & was VERY impressed by the service . Everyone was very friendly and helpful since it was my first time there I ordered the recommended items and really enjoyed everything ! I will be back often I'm sure (: Shout out to Gemma !

    Strawberry Rose Lemonade, Oat milk latte, Peanut Butter Best Drink Ever.

    Although business is thriving and there's a crowd we waited 5min. max! Ordered 2 drinks from the menu, and even ordered an extra. Speaking of the register employee (didn't get his name but has a Pokémon and corgi pin) service was 10/10...super helpful and efficient! We were planning on only 2 drinks but ended up getting a 3rd just cause of how he upsold it. Vibes and atmosphere 10/10.

    I finally made it back to my hometown and had to stop by Portillo's in Moreno Valley again!!!!…read more This was the first time I decided to try their burgers and boy I'm glad I did because I've definitely been missing out. The char-grilled burgers were cooked perfectly--juicy, flavorful, and loaded with fresh toppings. The Italian beef sandwich was tender, juicy, and even better with the hot and spicy peppers that added the perfect kick. The French fries were hot, crispy, and seasoned with just the right amount of salt. And if you're ordering fries, the cheese sauce is a must--it takes them to the next level! Daughter had the Chopped Salad with spicy chicken, and it was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor. The spicy chicken added just the right amount of heat without overpowering the salad. The portions were generous, the food came out fresh, and the staff was friendly. If you're looking for delicious burgers, amazing Italian beef sandwiches, crispy fries with cheese sauce, and a fresh, satisfying salad, Portillo's in Moreno Valley is definitely worth a visit!

    Drove all the way from Beaumont to try Portillo's for the first time as I heard they use Vienna…read moreBeef hot dogs with a nice snap to them. I ordered the chili dog with onions and got a side of nacho type cheese to dip it in and for the Fries...... Not bad overall, but the chili had BEANS in it and was too watery. It needs to be THICK like at Tommy's and Cupid's. The fries were no big deal. Speedy service, as the inside was just about empty on Thursday around 3 p.m. How about selling just the raw dogs so we can take them home and make our own? These were not anywhere near as good as Cupid's in the San Fernando Valley on Winnetka.....which has been the gold standard for decades!!

    I never liked sandwiches. I use to always get the spaghetti from here and that's really good but…read morerecently I tried the #3 yankee (with light lettuce because I don't like shredded lettuce) and it was a real game changer. That's my go to sub spot now for actual sandwiches. You can call in a order for pick up (they're typically fast) inside it's decent size. There is seating to eat inside. It's very mom and pop home vibes. I have seen it get busy around lunch time because the Air base is right there so I do recommend calling in for your lunch. They also have to go menus. *side note. They do the BIG sandwiches. I got the 6ft for my baby shower and it got devoured.

I…read morehave been a frequent customer here for over 9 years and this will probably be my last visit. Quik Stop Subs have always been a alittle pricy but for what you received it was well worth the price. A fully loaded sandwich piled high with meat and veggies. Today I received a slim pickings of meat and veggies to the point where the sandwich looked like it was just a loaf of bread. I have a colleague that also went to Quik Stop that same day and we both had the same experience. I guess it's back to homemade sandwiches from now on. I'm sad to have to move on but I won't pay for a sandwich that is over $10 with a slice of meat and sprinkle of veggies. The service is still great.
