We have found it rare to find quality coffee during our visit to SD, but this spot is it!! Hands down our favorite quality latte - great espresso (as they are roasters too), quality syrup line (we walked out of another shop nearby when I noticed they were using Torani - whomp whomp), creative drinks, friendly staff, and the most gorgeous decor/space/vibe. This will be our coffee spot from now on when visiting SD!!! I got the Hazelnut Divinity & my bf got the Snickerdoodle Latte - we were amazed! read more

1. Incredibly rude employees. 2. They forgot our coffee and then made the wrong order. 3. Coffee is mid and expensive. Yucky energy, save yourself and skip this one read more

Second time visiting the Grand Avenue location, and it's always a great experience! This time I tried the Better Buzz Breakfast Sandwich and the Cinnamon Crumbonne -- both were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend! I'm so glad I trusted Josh's pastry recommendation. The service was excellent as always. This location has a rooftop seating area, and Josh even brought our food up to us, which was such a thoughtful touch. Really appreciate him going above and beyond -- it brightened the start of the day for both me and my sister. Thank you, Josh! I'll definitely be coming back again read more

Amazing service today during the drive thru this morning , staff was friendly, quick & the chocolate banana loaf was so fresh & warm. And of course my coffee was always on point . Special shout out to the general manager Chrizelle for her amazing management & team! read more

Jake and Megan were amazing! They were so kind and so quick to make our drinks! Jake had some amazing suggestions with add ins and such, and megan was so quick behind the scene! we talked to them for quite some time and they were entirely engaged in our conversation. They were amazing and deserve some recognition! PS my iced matcha with vanilla AND vanilla cold foam was amazing ! read more

Probably the best Better Buzz location in PB. Great ambiance, great views, and even better coffee. Also huge huge huge shoutout to Jess (sorry didn't catch your last name) but she's one of the kindest coffee barista I've ever met. Really brings the energy into the location and you all definitely need to check this place out. read more

Have been having a consistently poor experience at this location. Food items come out either missing topping or with something drastically wrong. In the last month I have had avocado toast come with no sprouts a rotten lemon, a breakfast sandwich still frozen in the middle, and today I asked for my rewards number to be put in. I had already paid, so it was too late and was promised a receipt so I could scan in my rewards. After waiting 10 minutes for a bowl in the drive through, you guessed it, no receipt. Inconsistent location, unfriendly staff and overpriced coffee that does not value customer experience. read more

Average coffee average food, service somewhat subpar, better coffee joints for sure. Tried them in Phoenix and San Diego, same all around, wanna grow like Starbucks read more

This better buzz is always nice to come by, Megan is the best barista! Always remembers my order!

I love this location. Honestly everyone is so sweet! Drinks are on par and they are very on it!

Stopped by better buzz earlier today and got a delicious yogurt bowl. The baristas were so nice and welcoming! This cafe was so pretty and aesthetically pleasing. I can't wait to bring my friends here read more

Just came to this location for the first time, and I think it was the best Better Buzz location I have been to so far. I got the hazelnut divinity ice latte and it tasted the best I've ever had it, also the avocado toast was made to perfection. The bread was nice and toasty rather than soft and limp from other locations. The staff was also very welcoming and all smiles. read more

Will definitely be coming back! Skylar went above and beyond after I informed her that I had been having trouble with my rewards on the app. She not only made my evening, but my son's as well. She made me a snickerdoodle latte and it was delicious! The little man enjoyed his cinnamon whipped cream cup! Skylar, you rock!! We hope to see you again soon. read more

Loved it! The staff were really nice, the food and drinks were really good type shi :)

One of my favorite better buzz locations! Kind and helpful staff, consistent quality, and great aesthetic. Added bonus- So close to the beach!! Also really enjoyed the pastries :) read more

I ordered a coffee and a pastry. The pastry came right away, but by the time I finished it, my coffee still wasn't ready. When I went to ask, I saw the cup just sitting there waiting to be poured. Then they poured a medium roast without even mentioning that the dark roast was out. For a coffee shop, they really don't seem to care what customers actually order or get. Honestly, I'm not even sure they can tell the difference between their coffees. which makes me question the quality of what they serve. read more

Absolute rip off! Half the cup is foam and it not even filled to the top. They charge $8 for this! Do not come here. Stay far away from this place. They are a bunch of money thieves!! They should be ashamed of themselves. The email the manager gave me to reach out to them about this is not valid... go figure read more

Megan & Caleb are the best !! Me (and my pup) both love our daily buzz. So good. This shop is the best one in PB!!

Awful experience today. Took my 2 daughters to grab some breakfast, when I picked up my order at the counter, I noticed my daughter's chocolate muffin was not there. I waited for a few minutes at the counter for someone to acknowledge me. No one did so, I spoke up and said, would it be possible to get my muffin? The woman behind the counter, the pretty one with auburn hair, was extremely rude in handing it to me. Whatever, we all have bad days. I went and sat down with my girls to enjoy my food. We didn't have napkins, so I went back over to get some and the dispenser was completely empty. So I turned to the woman again behind the counter and asked if I could get napkins, she went to back, got them and brought them out to load the dispenser. While passing me, she snidely said "and we never charged you for that muffin" to which I was shocked because I ordered it. And that's not my fault that your employee didn't ring it in. I stood there stunned, and she turned around and almost threw a stack of napkins at me to which I grabbed, and went back to enjoy the food with my kids. My daughter's breakfast wrap was cold in the middle, so we brought it home to microwave it. Zero stars. My coffee was good. Ambience is good, but the vibes are WAY off. There are lots of BETTER Buzz shops with much better attitudes and service. Also, I tipped 25%. So... You can take that chocolate muffin I owed you for out of the your tip and kiss my ass. I didn't spend 40+ $ on sub par finger food and coffee to be treated like crap by your employees this morning.... Will never be back after being embarrassed by the establishment. I work too hard for my $ read more

This is a great location to chill and grab a cup of coffee. Brandon and his crew are very friendly and the locals give a great vibe. There are plenty of things to enjoy in the area including the local beach and boardwalk. read more

Super cute, very quiet and a nice spot to hang out with friends! They have a lot of sitting space for larger parties and they're relatively fast with making drinks. I got the blue buzz energy drink and it was SOOO good! It's topped with pop rocks if you like that kind of thing :) read more

I had such an incredible experience at Better Buzz Coffee, all thanks to Skyler! She was so friendly, attentive, and genuinely made my visit feel personal and warm. You can tell she loves what she does -- she greeted me with a smile, helped me pick the perfect drink, and made the whole vibe of the place even better. Speaking of drinks... the Hazelnut Divinity was exactly that -- divine! Smooth, perfectly balanced, and just the right touch of sweetness. Every sip was pure joy. I can still taste that rich, nutty flavor blended with their insanely good espresso. It was hands down one of the best coffee drinks I've had in a long time. Better Buzz overall is such a vibe -- the atmosphere, the quality, and especially the people (shoutout to Skyler again!) make it a standout. Already planning my next visit. If you're thinking about stopping by, do it -- and hope Skyler's there to make your day better, too! read more

I love PB, it's always a vibe. better buzz is one of my favs and I love this location. The employees were nice and the coffee was good!

My drinks are always made right and fast at this location. Music is always good here as well.

I got the mango strawberry refresher. it was delicious. staff was so nice and my drink came out quick.

Great service and better coffee in PB. I would recommend coming in early before the rush!

This is by far my favorite place to start the morning. Not only is the coffee next level but the food is actually fresh and even though I can get stuck ordering my "usual" I've tried a few drinks based off the barista's suggestion and have never been disappointed. Im not a morning person and don't know how they do it but as a regular, Skylar has greeted me with a smile and a recommendation and it's always been great. She knows her coffee and probably knows yours too. Trust her! She will make your morning. There's so many coffee places and I don't usually leave reviews but go here! No bad mornings ever. read more

Stopped by here for a coffee before hitting the beach. The location is convenient with a drive thru and parking lot in the back. Iced rose water latte: faint rose aftertaste without being to overpowering. Coffee is on the lighter end. Out of all the drinks we got, this was the less sweet. Mango Red Bull smoothie: Strong refreshing mango smoothie. The Red Bull blends well with the drink, but it's definitely the sweetest drink out of the bunch we got Mint Infused Iced Coffee: There is a fresh mint aroma and the heavy cream on top makes this a creamier iced coffee. Iced Honey latte: Strong honey taste but also making this drink on the sweeter side Overall, the drinks are exactly as described for the flavors you get. Their coffee blend is light on the palate. Ambiance: This feels like more of a grab and go place to me because there aren't many tables. The decor is cute for the pictures and there is a bathroom in the back of the store. Service: The cashier was friendly but wasn't too knowledgeable about the drinks when we had questions. read more

We always go to get our "buzz" on at Better Buzz!! Their coffee is well brewed and their prices are respectable. We order the Freshly Brewed (medium) roast coffee with our favorite creams and syrups. The taste is well rounded--not acidic nor too sweet. It's just right!! If you're thinking of how to jumpstart your day, set it off with getting Buzzed. read more
