    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Big jimmy out here ! Slanging coffee, appreciate the tips on what to order for our first time!! Let's see if we catch the buzz! Ps. Line seems long but moves fast!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!!

    Ok! I understand that prices may increase but shrink-flatiron seem to have hit Quik Stop Subs. 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.

    It's about 1:30 on a Friday afternoon and the wife and I are heading out to La Quinta to celebrate…read moreher birthday. We are both starving to death and I can't wait until we get there. We are on the 10 Freeway heading east in Moreno Valley...I grab my phone, jump on my Yelp app and plug in SANDWICHES. Answer: Quik Stop Subs I didn't know where it was in relation to the freeway so you will have to trek another 5 minutes further than you want to but believe me it's worth it. I remember first driving by a Jersey Mike's and thought we could just go there but I went with my instincts and it paid off. This place is killer! It's in a non-descript retail center. It's very clean and smells just like an Old fashion Italian sandwich shop...fresh baked bread and fresh lunch meat and cheese. We were greeted by two lovely women, San and Nary. They both are GREAT! Super friendly and boy can they make a incredible sandwich. We ordered the 9" Godfather ($13.99) with ham, capicolla, salami, roast beef, turkey, and provolone cheese plus all the extras. Excellent! The sandwich was perfectly proportion (meat/ cheese/bread), but what takes it to the next level is the freshly baked, perfectly toasted house made bread. I asked San and Nary where they got the bread and they both said in unison, "The Boss makes it." Enough said. Great place. Great people. Great sandwich. Great stop. 5-Stars!!
