    I love the consistency of Better Buzz at all of their locations. Placed a mobile order for my birthday drink and grabbed a wrap as well. Service was notably friendly, and the store was very clean. My drink was delicious and was a great start to the day.

    Best Drink Ever
    Steph G.

    Decided to pop in on a whim since I had a promo coupon for one of their drinks. I'll be honest, I normally don't visit Better Buzz. I do like the variety overall with food and beverage but usually it's not on my radar today. I opted for the traditional best drink ever. The regular size is like a sippy cup. Let's be real. And the only reason I was there was because it cost five dollars. Overall, I think the prices are little expensive. Come here when it's more of a treat. However, I will say service was extraordinary. The male order taker repeated my order and then made some additional suggestions for food and pastries which I declined. I was also lucky enough to be there early with no line and no wait for beverages which I usually find to be the issue. I'll probably come back because the breakfast tacos intrigued me.

    Downgrading for poor handling. No response. Terrible coffeehouse experience. Used to be an app member, back to the bux I go.

    Got my birthday drink when I was back in town for Thanksgiving! Got the iced salted maple matcha and it was delicious, the maple cold foam was especially good! Super quick even on thanksgiving day and friendly staff!

    I stopped by around 2 PM on a Saturday. The café was fairly quiet -- only two tables were occupied, and a couple of customers were waiting for their orders. I ordered a simple Chai Latte and even brought my own stainless steel mug. While waiting, I noticed a small line forming at the cashier, but only one barista was making drinks. Most of the orders seemed to be going to the drive-thru, which left dine-in customers waiting longer. After about five minutes, I saw that someone who ordered after me (the third person behind me) got her drink first. Eventually, another barista from the drive-thru side came to help. When I politely asked about my order, she said it was next -- but by the time I got my drink, nearly ten minutes had passed. Unfortunately, the Chai Latte itself was disappointingly sweet. I had to add water to tone it down a bit. I usually enjoy Better Buzz for their atmosphere and consistency, but this visit missed the mark -- both in service flow and taste balance. Hoping this was just an off day, because I do love supporting local spots with good vibes and great coffee. Hey at least I got a free sticker!

    Super happy there is a better buzzed here. I believe I've only been to the SD location so it's really nice to see a location in the south OC. This place is super clean and is in a corner plaza next to Handels ice cream. I ordered the chili crisp breakfast wrap and it was super yummy. I love the hash brown that was layered inside. I would definitely order it again! However, it is pretty small. I just wanted a little breakfast fix when I came here. My wife ordered the cappuccino, which was solid. Service was a little slow but I can see it can be like that with a busy drive thru. The food came way before the coffee... would be nice if they both came together.

    Here at their grand opening!

    Always hit the spot, we love better buzz and their consistency of drinks. I always get their Best Drink Ever, even though there is a pumpkin Best Drink Ever, I still picked thr OG drink. Probably be my forever pick to drink when I need a little pick me up. Services is always amazing and fast and gotta collect those points and redeem those free drinks offers. I had like three in my account so hence why I stopped by today when I'm heading this way. It's was pretty empty in the lobby on a Tuesday morning, drive through was busy but inside I was the only one there. Keep in mind it's a Tuesday so everyone is probably at work or in school and then there is me lol. Clean tables and had to take a picture with my coffee near the wall, it's a must to do and wine no one is here, take as much food/ drink pictures as you can. Phone eat and drink first Lol

    Seasonal coconut matcha

    This cute shop offers creative caffeinated drinks and pastries. Upon entering is a very aseptically pleasing coffee shop. I love that there is a nice patio outside but also cute seating areas inside. The staff is kind and helpful. Their menu offers simple drinks as well as various types of specialty drinks such as their horchata and snickerdoodle latte. What makes them Butter Buzz special is you can add kickstarter energy shots to your drinks. Besides drinks they also have readily made pastries and savory food to order. When I came in i noticed they had plenty of yummy pastries including their nutella croissants. They also had a seasonal menu which I ordered off of. I got their coconut matcha and the person I came with got their "coconut best drink ever." Both our drinks turned out very light. Not very strongly caffeinated. They were both okay. I did try the "coconut best drink ever" and it had a coconut cold foam on top which was nice. But not very creamy. Overall I would come back to try their other drinks and maybe the food there. It's a great place to hang out at.

    My experience this morning at Better Buzz was made even better by Remy and his warm, upbeat, and kind attitude. His attitude totally made my day! Also, my drink (iced best drink ever) was perfectly made by Kevin. Thanks, guys!

    Cashier was impatient and when asked if they could grind my bag of coffee that I just purchased and they said that it will take time . And I had to ask for a tray for 2 coffee I ordered .... And had to ask for a bag to put in my bag of coffee I bought. Personal have not given a smile , not one of them . I gave a 15% tip , not a thank you .. good thing I didn't give my regular 25% tip

But we reserved a portion of the restaurant hired a band and catering and it was wonderful! Their staff helped set up and clean up, it was very special a nd we can't thank you enough!

    I'll preface by saying I came here to grab food while at the beach on a summer Friday afternoon, so…read moreI figured it would be busy. However, we waited 40 minutes to not even move 5 feet. There is ONE window for ordering and one where the food comes out. After waiting 40 minutes in line, my friend and I didn't even want food anymore so we walked over to the mobile bar/tent. This serves mainly alcohol but you are allowed to order NA drinks here too. But what doesn't make sense is that you can order soda and milkshakes at the tent, but they still come from the one window that is already slammed with orders. My friend ordered a soda and was told it would come out quickly. We waited for about 10 minutes and I decided to ask about her drink and the employee handed me a Coke that was sitting there under her name. We were standing by the pick up window the whole time so I'm not sure why he didn't call her name when he was calling everybody elses'? Best part is that after we started to walk away, one of the employees came out and made an announcement that you can order drinks from the cart. Half the queue got out of line and moved over there... This should be on a sign somewhere so that you can get in the correct line and not wait forever to order.

There is a reason , The ambience The service The food The decorations- dishes , tea cups , orange juice glasses all match their decor makes you feel like you took a trip to France ( down to their tooth picks in the sandwiches ) We ordered the little basket of mini warm baked goods -they were tiny and delicious $4.99 for four . You could buy a dozen . We split the Chicken Breast Les Champs sandwich on their baguettes which was absolutely DELICIOUS!! We both had a plate each with out one dill pickle spear I tell you it was the best flavored not too thick and not too thin chicken breast - it must have had 3 pieces total with tomato and we had mini chopped red onion on the side but on the sandwich would have been amazing . I would have taken my other half home if I ordered a whole to myself . I can still taste that sweet flavor and we both cannot wait to go back . Service was excellent so thank you to everyone as we were very happy and we told them that and wrote it on our receipt .

    Wonderful French crepe cafe…read more The Mushroom and Spinach crepe, add bacon, was excellent. They essentially make a French folded omelette and then wrap a crepe around it and top it off with Bechamel sauce (kind of like Alfredo for those who don't know). Even though the menu doesn't mention the sauce, it comes with it. The Nutella Banana crepe was amazing with a generous amount of Nutella inside. Instead of having the chocolate drizzle on top, I wonder if they can do Nutella drizzle on top, in addition to the Nutella that's inside already. I highly recommend paying for the extra berries on top to keep it interesting. The side of nicely seasoned breakfast potatoes rounded out the meal. Be sure to ask for a side of ketchup! Outdoor seating with great service and successful ambience right at the oceanfront in the most happening part of town, right by the San Clemente Pier.

We couldn't bring Cako on the pier, so we looked at what was available. I did see Bear Coast coffee which I wanted to stop into. Walking down the street, there were these cool blue umbrellas that sort of reminded me of the French Riviera that you see in the movies...LOL! The menu was simple so we decided to stop, plus we needed outdoor seating for Cako. The young woman who was working was friendly and upbeat! Told us to grab whichever table we wanted. Even brought out water for Cako. I ordered the Frenchies sandwich, ham, salami, prosciutto, provolone and pesto! Very good! Scooter had the Jambon and fromage, which he said was perfect! Both sandwiches came with these seasoned crispy potatoes. The menu was small. But I'm sure they'll offer more. Would've tried the crepes but that will have to wait until next time, Again, the service was great! The young woman came out and checked on us and refilled our iced teas. Great afternoon to enjoy lunch and watch people. Cako Approves!
