    Better Buzz PB
    Alexis R.

    A MUST STOP! The service is so genuine and fast! And true to their most popular drink name, they literally do make the best drinks ever. Plus whoever had the aux was was playing the jams

    Coconut Sugar Protein Latte and Horchata Latte
    Leslie H.

    Yum! We walked to this location during our stay at Mission Beach while we were out and about exploring the area. I ordered the coconut sugar protein latte (which may have been a temporary option) and my husband ordered the Horchata Latte. The coconut sugar latte was a great option for someone like me who usually needs to resort to a sugar-free option. It obviously is not sugar-free, but it was not as sweet as regular lattes and didn't spike my blood sugar, so win-win. The Horchata Latte was a win for my husband. He loved it and was disappointed that they didn't have it at the airport location. The space is bright and clean and service was great.

    Matcha latte

    I generally like Better Buzz. But I do think their drinks are really sweet. If I come here, I would be treating myself. This location in Pacific Beach has a drive thru. It's next to Taco Bell, but you can't get there from the parking lot. I like that they have convenient online ordering. The matcha latte is just ok. I would stick to their coffee drinks. Bathroom is outside. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted.

    Just happened to pass by this place on my walk. Got their matcha and it was delicious! Would rate it in my top 3 for matchas in the area.

    If you want yo espresso w/o waiting forever, go inside. Drive-thru is more like slow-thru. Espresso is good.

    Coffee was good, would recommend. The pastries looked amazing. I would come here again, just haven't found that 5 star coffee yet.

    Super clean, bakery and drink station

    This place is incredible! The service is the best in California! Drinks are on point! We will absolutely be visiting this place as our primary shop in Pacific Beach!

    Better Buzz has quickly become a favorite spot to grab coffee while in Pacific Beach. I've exclusively stopped at this location during the holidays over the last few years and I always enjoy all of their festive flavors. On a recent visit, I tried their Chili Crunch Breakfast Wrap which was particularly tasty. The staff is friendly, helpful with adjustments or modifications, and the vibes are chill and perfect for a yummy coffee and breakfast in PB! Instagram: @waitingtoeat

    Is the upstairs patio dog friendly or is it just the patio up in the front?

    Just the front. But it's small anyway, I'd go to the one on Garnet or Mission if you're going to chill.

    Is apple pay accepted here?

    I used Apple Pay when visiting in Feb 2025

I appreciated the live music, though it did make conversation a bit difficult to hear. The drinks were sweet and strong! I recommend the Tangled Up in Blue The macaroni and cheese was the best appetizer. The wagyu tartare is actually quite spicy, and although tasty, we could not finish it because of the burn. The entrees were hot and cooked exactly as asked. You seriously get a bang for your buck with the portion size of the chicken parm!

We did have a fairly large group so we occupied the entire back wall corner. It was a bit snug in terms of table space and leg space, but we made it work. The staff were doing their best to keep track of everyone's orders, but there were a few mix-ups in the end. Food came out in waves and had a good cadence to the meal. - FOOD - We had a lot to share amongst our group! Wagyu Tartare ($14.00): Really flavorful tartare! Had a nice tartness to it due to the Black Vinegar. Pork Belly Baos ($12.00 - 2pc): Honestly this was just OK to me. Ahi Tuna Crudo ($18.00): Very bright and refreshing. Chicken Satay ($12.00): A little dry on some chicken pieces. Crispy Brussels ($10.00): Not as crispy as I'd hoped but still good. B&R Mac & Cheese ($8.00): Very creamy, very cheesy. The pasta was a bit soft though. Flat Iron Steak & Fries ($25.00): Decent piece of steak, cooked medium well. I honestly enjoyed the fries a lot! However, there must have been something expired, cooked wrong, or just not up to quality as many of us got stomach issues that night and the next day. We were all spread out so not sure what it could have been given we ate a few different items. - OVERALL - It was a cool vibe and they have some good tasting items, but considering a few of us got sick, I'm a bit wary to come back.

It's got the decor, chairs, and art to match. Jessica was our server and she was amazing! She gave us lots of suggestions on what to try and what is on the menu since it was my first time here. She recommended the bloody Mary flight so did grab that to try! We also ordered the biscuits and gravy to share and orange juice. The portions are so large! So I am glad we decided to share the biscuits and gravy but let me run down each thing. Bloody Mary Flight: Honestly every single one was amazing. My favorite was definitely the pickle Mary! Everything tasted so delicious and was garnished beautifully. Well worth the 22 dollars. Biscuits and Gravy: Absolute perfection of comfort food. The biscuits were so fluffy and well seasoned. The gravy was also soooo good, just like my mom makes. The sausage in it was also cooked so well and juicy. I've never tried mashed potatoes with the biscuits and gravy but it worked very well! Orange Juice: Not a fan really, not pulpy enough and I wasn't a fan of the flavor. Overall this is definitely a must visit! I will definitely be back.

The food was amazing! In particular, I enjoyed the fried chicken and waffle tower and their roasted chicken hash. I was surprised they didn't include a side of butter along with their biscuits, but I'll probably just ask for it next time. One important thing to note is that their dishes are HUGE. All 6 of us had our own dishes, but I would highly highly recommend ordering a couple dishes and sharing it family style if you're dining with a group. One note I did have about Hash House is how overstimulating the menu is lol. The menu had a lot of clashing fonts, colors, and clip art images, it made it hard to digest the menu. I didn't even notice some menu offerings because of how busy the menu was. Also, our waitress did initially charge us for 6 coffees, even though we only had 3. It was a good thing we caught that error on the receipt before paying. Overall, the food at Hash House is definitely worth coming back for.

I'm still pretty new to seafood and have recently discovered that I'm actually a big fan of raw salmon, so I figured this was the perfect opportunity to branch out. Well... surprise! For some reason I had convinced myself it was going to be a poke-style bowl with raw salmon, avocado, cucumbers, and all the usual toppings. Instead, it came out with cooked salmon. Even though it wasn't what I expected, the bowl was actually delicious. The funny part is I learned something about myself... I definitely prefer raw salmon over cooked salmon. Not a bad discovery to make over a good meal! The atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming, trivia kept the energy up all night, and the service was friendly from start to finish. Great place to grab a drink, catch up with friends, and maybe even learn something new about your own taste buds.
