Wowza this coffee is so yummy. Shout out to Steve for being so welcoming and made my experience 100x better!

Wanted to try this new better buzz near me since it looked good. I've had the actual coffee before from SD & Costa Mesa. I heard lots about the banana pudding drink so I wanted to grab it and I ended up not loving it as much as I thought I would. The banana flavor is more on the lighter side and I thought it would be stronger taste. A cookie comes in the drink which ended up melting in the coffee and didn't love that so much. Next time I would probably just order a best drink ever to keep it simple. I did ask for the base to be easy sweet which made perfect to not be so sweet and still taste coffee. I also got the horchata iced latte which was tasty but wasn't as strong on the coffee. I gave this place a 4/5 because of the parking and drive thru. I was trying to go in to check the location out but there was absolutely no parking available. The drive sometimes is out in the street which isn't the best for traffic but hopefully they work on that for safety. Overall the workers seems very friendly and nice when taking my order. I wouldn't say I would come here all the time but it's nice to have near by if I'm in the mood. Very new and modern looking from the outside. read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Cold brew Nitro and Chili wrap - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Ana, California

The coffee shop is clean and it smells great inside with coffee and pastries. The patio seating is very nice with umbrellas. The staff are nice and fast with orders. However, they are new so some of them don't know what ingredients are in the drinks. It's highly recommended you do your research first before making your first orders of the drinks. I tried Best Drink Ever and Burstin Blue Raspberry. I was expecting the umbrella and this happy fancy look for Burstin Blue drink but I just had a regular plastic cup and some red popping candies. It is a little misleading and disappointing to be honest. The drinks are good but they did not have any unique or wow elements that set them apart from other places. The toasted bagel is very hard, not crispy, just hard. I'll come back to try the rest since it's conveniently located across from SA College :) read more

Waited 30+ minutes for an açaí bowl . Drive-thru clearly being prioritized. Manager was present in the lobby & his response to us questioning the wait time was " well they had to make it fresh" I didn't know they grew berries back there. It doesn't take 30 minutes to blend some berries and cut some fruit. Terrible customer service and bad management. I only came because my wife wanted an açaí bowl. Definitely overrated read more

A coworker and I decided to give this spot a try after several people recommended it to us. We showed up at about 2pm on a Friday afternoon and it was PACKED. Luckily my coworker ordered everything online while we drove and it was ready by the time we arrived. We ordered coffee for us and 2 other people. Everyone ordered different things. Everyone said they really enjoyed what they had. I had a vanilla caramel latte and it was delicious. Slightly milky but delicious. Prices seem fair for what you get. I'll definitely consider going back. read more

Shout out to Ari at the drive thru for the great drink recommendation! Will be back to try other drinks

Do better, better buzzZ The cup was a little light on the buzz. For the $7.59 price tag, I expected a full cup. It's not a latte so there should not be foam or 1/2 empty cup. Disappointed on the buzz. read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Mexican coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I had a great second experience in the drive thru! Again the food and drinks were amazing and the service was even better than the first time! I especially appreciated the pins that everyone was wearing saying "ICE OUT!" I love the awareness and that the business stands up for the people they are serving! Hard to find a business that cares for us in this time! Definitely will be coming back again and bringing all my friends because the vibe and space always feel so welcoming! read more

Visited Better Buzz the other day and I can definitely see what the "buzz" is all about! From the moment my group and I entered, we were warmly greeted at the entrance door by the staff, along with the dancing bee outside. Marissa was the cashier who helped me at the front counter, and she was the sweetest. The energy of the place was great, excellent customer service, and the turn around time for to-go items was surprisingly quick. Not to mention their food and drinks were delicious! I tried the iced Chai latte, the OG acai bowl (with coconut shavings & almond butter - so good!), and the almond croissant. I look forward to returning to try the other food & drink items on the menu. read more

The Coffee and Bacon Ciabatta sandwich was good. But the parking Lot and entrance to the place is terrible. The parking Lot is very small. As you drive into the place you better start turning quick into the drive thru or you will miss it. read more

The literal worst better buzzed. Do not bother to place a mobile order because it'll take three times as long as the app time says. This is the third time that my drink has been made wrong, so I'm not sure if the worker is not paying attention, if they're not being trained or what the hell is happening. But it's very disheartening. I've not had this experience at any other Better Buzz. read more

I gave this place another chance after multiple bad experiences and this is just the cherry on top. There was a staple in my sourdough bread. read more

I'm a SAC student of three years, and I was overjoyed when I saw this place open right as I enter into my last semester at SAC. I was finishing my late viola class, and came for a hot cup of lavender latte tea, and the service was great! Mikayla was so kind and as warm as the tea she made for me! It's so cozy and clean here, and I do love the exterior and interior design. I'll definitely come here during my last semester, and come for visits even after! read more

Better Buzz Coffee - Lavender tea latte and a nutella croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Vivian was so sweet and the mint coffee tasted great! Service at the drive thru was efficient as well.

Coffee was amazing and Vivian was awesome and so friendly. They were super efficient.

After waiting for 20 mins. The lines are long which is not a big deal. You get the workers with attitude. While trying to figure out what to order I get the guy shaking his head at me. Pressuring me to make a decision with a bad attitude. Rolling his eyes at me when I wanted to change my size. Such a bad experience. Coffee taste delicious though. read more

I had such an amazing experience at Better Buzz Coffee! Angelica was incredible she took my order through the drive-thru and was so friendly, patient, and welcoming from start to finish. You can really tell she cares about giving great service. I ordered the Bursting Blue Buzz energy drink, and it was SO good refreshing, flavorful, and made perfectly. Even though I went through the drive-thru, the vibe and energy of the place felt upbeat and positive, which really added to the experience. Angelica made everything quick, smooth, and honestly just put me in a better mood. Great service and great ambiance like this is why I keep coming back. Thank you, Angelica! read more

Finally able to try it out, I'm very particular about my Americanos. For some reason they can be tricky...?? But this place NAILED it! Friendly staff, space looks great and got my coffee really fast. Only downside was the parking lot is not big enough, I think they're banking on more foot traffic and drive thru which makes sense. Also - I LOVED the ICE OUT pins I saw on some aprons! read more

Finally got the chance to come back, and had a great experience! I was helped out by Vyvy again, and she was super awesome as always. Per her recommendation, I got the Horchata latte and I loved it. Not too sweet, but not too bitter either it was great! Will definitely try to come back!! read more

If you're heading to the Better Buzz on Bristol and 17th, do yourself a favor and hope that Vivian is behind the counter! I've been in a few times now, and Vivian consistently makes the experience 10/10. It's rare to find someone who balances efficiency with such a genuine, upbeat energy--especially during the morning rush. She's incredibly welcoming, knows the menu inside and out, and always makes sure my drink is handcrafted to perfection (the Best Drink Ever actually tasted like the best drink ever). Why Vivian stands out: Expert Recommendations: She's great at helping you navigate the menu if you're feeling indecisive. Speed & Accuracy: Even when the line is long, she keeps things moving without ever making you feel rushed. Top-Tier Vibes: She genuinely seems happy to be there, which totally rubs off on the customers. Better Buzz has a great atmosphere to begin with, but it's team members like Vivian who make it a local favorite. Thanks for the caffeine and the great service! read more

Wow! Ordering coffee grounds was a ridiculous endeavor. Their manager didn't know how to communicate and I can hear him yelling through the headset at the poor employee that's still learning. Something has changed from two to three weeks ago to today. read more
