Great service! The barista answered every question I had and gave me excellent recommendations as well.

My family and I visited the Bristol Location and let me tell you my experience was the best from the customer service from better-buzz has to offer to the baristas; Juana was such a kind and helpful worker while asking her on an opinion. Destiny was also great she was super friendly and welcoming love the work and how clean they have everything inside. great job! Food was amazing by the way! read more

Okay, STEVE! I loved him immediately. First of all, his customer service, fantastic. I love someone with a great sense of humor! Plus, he dealt with my crazy, loud mother with a smile the entire time. 7 stars on Yelp if I could lol. Then I asked him about the banana Nutella cromuffin thing, and he told me it was amazing. I can now confirm Steve is also not a liar. We love Steve. Put it on a shirt. Next up... Mebrat! (girl, I hope I spelled it right I know you repeated it twice and spelled it out for my and my brain just kind of disassociated immediately after.) anywho... She is SO cute! So warm, so smiley, and just genuinely kind. Between Steve and Mebrat, this place has an incredible staff. I'm not from the area, I stopped by because I visited the Laguna location the other day and the coffee was great. The customer service there was... let's just say 1 star, but that's a different story.. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll absolutely be stopping by again. You won't regret coming here. Thanks, Steve and Mebrat, for making my morning! read more

If you like sweet coffee this is the spot. Im so glad they opened one up here. The one I usually went to was all the way in SD. When I arrived they had a nice drive through that was very easy to get to on the right side. I ordered the caramel blended drink and WOW it was sweet! If you have a sweet tooth this drink is for you. It was blended very well and super sweet. They gave it to us very quickly so we were in and out. They also have a very nice inside which I saw from the drive thru. Parking seemed very easy to get to as well. Great spot. Ill be coming back if im in the area. read more

I was happy to see a new coffee shop near the house. I just started drinking cold brews from drinking flavored coffee so I was excited to see that they had flavored cold brew. I go the Cinnamon Cream Cold Brew and it was delicious! It was the perfect combination for me. Too bad its on the opposite side from my route to work but happy to see them open late in case i want a after work coffee. Definitely going back. read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Cinnamon Cream Cold Brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Ana, California

A great place to grab a quick coffee! Not the most amazing coffee you'll have, but it's a great option for an on the go coffee, I like it much better than Starbucks or Dunkin. Lots of different option and flavors. A ref 16oz will run you about $5-6 and a large 24oz will be about $7. I went with the pistachio cinnamon best drink ever (iced). It was pretty good, nice flavor and didn't taste too overly sweet. Would definitely like to come back and try other flavors as well as a hot coffee. They also have breakfast sandwiches and food items too! read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Cinnamon Pistachio Best Drink Ever - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Ana, California

It just opened near a friend's house. I ordered a dirty chai latte iced, a cold brew, and the best drink ever which had fresh pistachios on the top. The coffee is perfectly sweet and reminded me of the coffee my grandmother used to make so it was nostalgic. I also ordered the pistachio croissant, the cinnamon roll, and morning bun. Together we shared the pastries and they were portioned. The croissant was flaky and the cinnamon wasn't too much. I got off to order but they also had a drive thru. The service was super friendly and they had patience for this first timer. I definitely want to come back. read more

They serve so much more than coffee! Pastries, sandwiches, even a carnitas breakfast taco! And there's a drive-thru thank goodness! The horchata iced coffee is really good and very cinnamony. It's all pretty pricey, but that just goes with every artisanal coffee shop. read more

I usually like better buzz I go to the Temecula location and Yorba Linda but this location was not it... To start out I received my order and they forget the foam that they recommended me to try and add on to my order okay.. LOL so I paid for an upcharge and didn't even receive it. You can literally see my order and the coffee I got. The coffee was so bad! Again I usually like this place at other locations but the espresso tasted actually so burnt and bitter. I couldn't even finish drinking it so a waste of $7. They need to fix the quality at this location. read more

I have pre-ordered my drink here about four times. I've also picked up drinks for DoorDash about eight times. There has not been a single time that my order was ready when I arrived. I was just in there this morning and 4 employees were there. All four of them made eye contact with me and it took about five minutes before somebody said hello or asked if I needed help. And of course, my order was not ready. I don't understand why they have an online pick up wall if they never have anything on it. read more

Got the perfect morning buzz thanks to Better Buzz Coffee. What a vibrant little place! And quite possible THE best iced coffee I've ever had. So many tempting drink options, but I chose their pistachio cinnamon iced latte. SO GOOD, with the perfect amount of sweetness, boldness, and flavor. Hubbie got their lavender matcha latte, oh man it was so good. I never order lavender flavors anymore because it never tastes right, but Better Buzz got it damn right. Other interesting options include Horchata latte, snickerdoodle latte, and "best drink ever". They offer complimentary puppy treats for pups! It's basically whipped cream, but who can resist treating your fur baby? It was the perfect outing to brighten our morning. The drinks, the friendly service, and the electric decor. Perfect place to enjoy the best coffees, and bee happy in the moment. Cheers, because life is better buzzed! read more

Decided to check what the buzz is about :) Did drive thru and the girl who took our order was super sweet and helpful with our questions. I was very pleasantly surprised with how delicious their drinks tasted. I am very much looking forward to trying out other drinks on their menu. I also noticed that they offer acai bowls- yum! I ordered their lavender matcha and it was delicious! I have seen that their lines can get pretty long during peak hours. So just take that into consideration when coming by. read more

3 visits in since this spot opened and I really think they need some time to work on things. This was another early morning visit for me, around 7am. I had mobile ordered at 6:48 with an estimated ready time of 6:53. I ordered the killer bee, my usual. I arrived at 7:02 and walked straight to the order pickup shelves and my drink wasn't there so I went to the register and asked the worker who directed me to go over to order pickup. I had walked over from that direction so I would have hoped with me being the only person in the shop that would have been noticed. I walked over to the other end and went to talk to the barista at the drink counter, she was busy making a drink so I wasn't acknowledged and I felt bad waiting for an opportunity to interrupt. When she finished the drink she looked up and I let her know I was waiting on a mobile order and I was told it wasn't ready but I saw it on the back counter so I asked and it turns out that was my order. For the second time was a clunky process for something that is meant to be convenient. While this location is close to me there are other spots not much further and until the kinks are worked out I don't see much reason to choose this spot. read more

Completely overrated. Their coffee tastes flat and far too extracted. I believe this coffee shop has become another version of Starbucks and is just not good anymore. I don't recommend this coffee shop to anyone that likes to dive deeper into coffee beans and extraction. This is place is amazing for if you want a dressed up coffee and a large space to gather with friends and study potentially. read more

Better Buzz Coffee - 17th & Bristol Came in for my free coffee for downloading the app, left with a half-full identity crisis. Ordered the rose strawberry matcha (because I enjoy making adventurous choices). My teeth were feeling sensitive (price one pays for pearly white smile), so I asked for no ice. Barista kindly asks, "Do you want it filled to the top?" I mean... in what world is the answer no? Bless him, he didn't even charge me extra. Green flag. I wait. My drink is called. I grab it. Half. Full. Not "settling foam" half full. Not "a few sips missing" half full. Literally halfway to emotional damage. I politely mention that the barista had asked if I wanted it filled to the top. The response? "It would be if it had been iced." I'm sorry--what? So removing ice removes liquid? Is this quantum matcha physics? My brain short-circuited somewhere between confusion and caffeine deprivation. Strike two, because my previous lavender matcha was also a miss. At this point, I feel personally victimized by their matcha menu. Two stars only because it was free. If I had paid for half a drink, we'd be having a different conversation. Starbucks would have never done me this way. Still know I'm paying way too much but at least they play along. read more

I definitely recommend this. Better Buzz. Travis is so friendly and so welcoming. It really made me feel comfortable and I would recommend the drinks. The ambience is very calming and the restrooms are pretty clean which is also a plus thank you to the workers who are at this establishment, God bless you. read more

Had such a great experience at Better Buzzed Santa Ana! Huge shoutout to Heidy and Desiree they were both super friendly, incredibly helpful, and gave amazing recommendations. You can tell they really care about the customer experience. We ordered the Better Buzzed sandwich with extra bacon and avocado (so good), the OG açaí bowl, and a nitro cold brew all solid, no notes. We also tried the mango strawberry refresher and the blueberry lavender lemonade with a caffeine boost, which was so delicious and refreshing. We also got the banana cream top matcha. Flavor-wise it was good, but personally a bit too sweet for me next time I'd definitely ask for it less sweet. Overall, loved everything and will 100% be back. Great drinks, great food, and even better staff. read more

Came here in the Grand Opening of this Buzz location in Santa Ana, CA. They had a special giveaway to the first 200 guests where you got a sticker, reusable cup, and a special Buzz hat. It was a little festive as the had the normal balloons and signs posted, but the I have to give props to the young lady who was dancing her heart out as the Buzz Bee. I ordered a Caramel Vanilla Latte Iced and it was pretty good. Please come out and support this establishment. read more

Now that it's been some time since my last visit, I decided to give this place another shot. Unfortunately almost everything was worse this time around. I got a cinnamon cream cold brew and unfortunately the cream was way too sweet and the cold brew was quite acidic compared to the last visit. I got the better breakfast sandwich and that was straight up inedible; the sandwich looked like it had been nuked in the microwave and then thrown together, and the garlic aioli was completely burnt so the whole sandwich tasted like an ashtray. The danish and cookie I got were also stale, but edible. Service was still nice, so I'll keep one star for that. This is simply not a high quality coffee shop, it's a subpar chain in an area with a significantly better chain coffee across the street. I really wanted to like this place as a local, but I refuse to come back seeing that things have only gotten worse. read more

Destiny deserves to be recognized as employee of the month. She brings genuine warmth, professionalism, and positive energy that makes every visit feel special. Great service is memorable--and Destiny truly stands out. Better Buzz is lucky to have her! I will definitely come back! read more

I've known Better Buzz for awhile from trips to San Diego and was so happy to learn that they are popping up in Orange County which is close (but not close enough...open one in LA county, Downey, to be exact ). This is the third time I've been to the Santa Ana location and each time I've had nothing but a wonderful experience with the customer experience and quality of coffee and food! Their OG acai bowl is my go-to and it's the best one out there. I have had interactions with Destiny two weeks in a row and she is so bubbly and great at what she does! I look forward to coming back! Thanks for the afternoon pick-me-up Better Buzz, Santa Ana!! read more

I have been going to Better Buzz for a while. Before I would have to drive to San Diego to get some but now it's a 15 minute drive. I love a large Snickerdoodle latte. Their other drinks are good too. The people are kind and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. I love their breakfast sandwich or a pesto sandwich. read more

This location is fairly new yet service is friendly quick and efficient. I've only gone through their drive thru so I can't say how it is inside but I can guess it's probably pretty efficient as well. Love their Moroccan spiced coffee, ham and cheese croissant is served warm and flaky and it's delicious, their feta avocado toast is my favorite by far it is soo good!! I mean where else can you get amazing avocado toast thru a drive thru?! I also recently had the breakfast wrap with the spicy crunch oil it was tasty but could have used more of the crunch oil inside. Overall I'm loving Better Buzz and can't wait to try their other popular drinks (banana pudding coffee drink) and food! A way better option to Starbucks in my opinion: ) Come check them out! read more

I love better buzz coffee!!!!! read more

Overly priced and overly sweet. Love that this location has a drive through and service was great. They have many staff outside to keep the drive through line moving and they were all very nice. Offered a free pup cup! Downside: so many up charges and just high prices in general. Got my coffee 1/2 sweet and it still was sugar overload. The wrap had no flavor and the tortilla was hard but I'm thankful I brought it home to add some sauces. Overall great service, clean new location, and helpful staff... but unfortunately the coffee is overwhelmingly sweet and the food lacks a lot of flavor for the price. read more

Wow, some of you sure are being rough on a brand new location in their early days. Relax and give everything a break. It's nice that this location not only has a drive-through, but you can walk in and pick up a coffee for you and there's even some very pleasant seating. The service is friendly and the drinks were made at an amazing lightning speed. By vanilla latte with almond milk was delicious and I'm looking forward to try many of the other coffee drink. It's so nice to have a place like this that's less that's only a short walk from home and I'm excited to continue to return and try some of their other offerings, including the very delicious looking bakery items that I'll hope to try soon read more

Amazing coffee, delicious food, and wonderful enployees! The new pumpkin drinks are the best out there

I've known about the other locations but never got to try. So lucky that a location has opened closer to me! Went the day after grand opening and of course it's still buzzing! Drive thru line was out the parking lot and into the streets! I was lucky to find parking and went inside to order but by the looks of it, the drive thru moved constantly so it didn't look all too bad. The staff were super welcoming and full of energy. Mentioned to me about the rewards app and how to score free drinks. I'm a hazelnut fan so I had to try the hazelnut divinity. Got it hot cuz it was pretty chilly that day. And wow! I love my drink! Really appreciate the real coffee taste and love the hazelnut flavor. It got a little sweet towards the end but I still loved it! Got my eye on a couple other drinks to try so I'll be back! read more
