"Landing just a short hop west of the bustling Starbucks drive-thru location on Miramar Road, Better Buzz Coffee Roasters is looking to draw in busy commuters seeking their daily coffee fix. This is the local roaster’s twelfth outpost overall and its seventh that combines a sit-down cafe with a convenient drive-thru window — a valuable commodity in COVID-19 times. Most of the Vista-based company’s cafes have been remained open for to-go orders, and the new Miramar spot will stick to takeout for now, with the entire menu — from specialty coffee drinks to pastries and sandwiches — available to be pre-ordered online. Open from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends, the 1172-square-foot cafe was designed MY Studio ID in Instagram-tailored style, with peacock blue hues and modern industrial elements." - Candice Woo

"Better Buzz Coffee Roasters is continuing to build upon local coffee empire by bringing a drive-thru cafe to the busy thoroughfare. The company, which just launched an outpost in Escondido, provides its 11 satellites with fresh coffee from its Vista roastery and cold brew made at its Hillcrest hub, will be replacing California Burrito Company. Due in late spring/early summer, the 1172-square-foot cafe with a drive-thru lane will feature both indoor and outdoor seating and will be the second Better Buzz location designed by local firm MYStudioID." - Candice Woo

This local chain coffee house had great curb appeal, and the coffee is good, but I also wanted to try one of the energy drink mixes. I got the coconut one which visually,  looked awesome, the only problem was that the flavor was muddled behind an insane amount of sugar,  which their energy drinks are packed with, and then sprinkled pop rocks on top. Sugar explosion.. The burrito that I was recommended had little flavor despite having chillies inside and the sandwich we got was much better, but not great. For the surrounding, i found better places to go.

It’s good, but it’s not the best coffee ever. There are a lot of good one-off spots in San Diego that do some pretty high-quality stuff. The 3-seed avocado toast is pretty good here though, even if it’s a bit expensive. It’s a good portion and the bread is cut thick. I like the “best drink ever” although I don’t necessarily think it’s the “best drink ever”—there’s a coffee stand by the river in Siem Reap, Cambodia that I think serves the best drink ever! Haha. But hey, it’s not bad for a wanna-be super Starbucks! And based on their expansion over the past few years they’re apparently making bank. So, yeah it’s worth checking out. I recommend 1) mint-infused iced coffee, 2) cinnamon cream cold brew, and 3) coconut buzz. One thing to be wary of is that it’s pretty pricey. If you get a large mint-infused iced coffee, for instance, and give a 15% tip, you’re paying like $8.50 out the door for your drink.

Quick convenient experience. Ordered the pistachio croissant and the iced best drink ever on my phone and it was ready in less than 5 minutes. The croissant was flaky and buttery but a little too much pistachio (still would recommend if you like pistachio). Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, a drive through and lots of parking.

Service is always friendly, even when the cafe is busy. The employees address me by name and remember my order, which is rare to find in the service industry these days. Coffee is always good, and pastries are some of the best I’ve had (specifically the pistachio croissant). I highly recommend you try Better Buzz if you haven’t already!

I was greeted properly in a nice professional manner (rare these days) the store manager/owner greeted me as well! The coffee is very flavorful and the banana nut and blackberry muffin was fresh! Better Buzz for the win!!! Thank you!

First time visiting. Visited on a busy Thursday morning for breakfast. I looked at all the reviews and I was very skeptical but I’m glad I went in & checked it out myself. I ordered a iced latte and the egg&bacon ciabatta. Both were very delicious. The vibe is very modern with hip hop & r&b music in the background. I haven’t been to the other locations that they have but I’m excited to visit them too so I can see which location suits me best. I’ll definitely return and I highly recommend this location.

Coffee and food is good. I love Best Drink ever and the Coconut Buzz blended but the music in all the stores is always too loud.

First time visiting this location. They overcharged me, and my hot drink was lukewarm and tasted like sour milk. I love most coffee and couldn’t bring myself to drink the rest.

Popular, local, middle tier fast coffee; clever branding; quality is a notch above Starbucks and such, but not at the level of craft coffee places such as other locals: BirdRock, Lofty, Dark Horse etc. Music is always uncomfortably loud!

Right as I stepped foot into the coffee shop, I knew greatness was waiting for me. The aroma of coffee filled my insides with warmth and joy. Never in my years of being a coffee addict have I been this overjoyed by a simple aroma that stings you at their front door. 3 employees truly stood out to me: Noah, Amy, and Talisa. Truly wonderful workers, and the embodiment of Life being Better Buzzed. Amy made my drink, and boy when I tell you Amy needs to be making everyone's drink I mean it! Best iced matcha latte I've had in my LIFE. I am thrilled that such a simple drink made by an amazing worker could lighten my moody morning. Thank you Miramar Better Buzz, will be visiting again.

Jane Y.

Yelp
Went in to try a new coffee shop because I'm kinda over Starbucks and a barista named Amy helped me through their menu. I wanted a coffee that was sweet but not too sweet and she suggested the "best drink ever". It came out amazing and definitely one of the better coffee's I've tried. The barista was awesome and very knowledgeable about what they had and how all of their drinks were made. This location is kind of small but with a great group of people (employees and customers) it felt very comfortable. I would definitely come back here again!

When heading to UTC, this is my go to spot for drinks and acai bowls! Conveniently located off Miramar Road, their staff are fast and diligent. The place is clean with a good amount of parking and comfy dining area My choices are always tasty and fresh. I'll be back soon.

I've been here multiple times but never to sit inside and enjoy my açaí bowl. This particular morning I decided to come in and enjoy my açaí bowl inside. The service was fast but the staff always seems overwhelmed and you can feel it . My açaí bowl is always good. Butttt I have never seen a more gross seating area than this place. There was literally people's hair on every table. I had to get a napkin just to wipe down the area I was sitting. I get that they're pretty busy but having a clean seating area isn't hard to keep up, especially in such a small place like this location. Defiantly will be my last time eating inside.

I visited this store on a rainy day, and it was just ok- the drinks are pretty well made, but they are really expensive and take too long for what they are. I ordered the Hazelnut Divinity, and it was pretty yummy! I could taste the hazelnut flavor, but the coffee personally was not strong enough for my taste. It was also almost $7. I think I waited around 25 minutes for my drink to be made - there weren't that many people in-store, but I think there may have been a lot of online/drive through orders. The ceiling was also leaking on this day, so customers were walking while looking up, trying to dodge the water that was coming down through the roof. This was an interesting experience that is maybe location-specific, but I would probably prefer some other coffee shops in the area.

As a first time customer at Better Buzz Coffee Miramar, I think there are a few things this Better Buzz could get Better At. I ordered a Turkey Pesto sandwich. When I received my sandwich, it had only Turkey and cheese, pesto was nowhere to be found. This made the sandwich then very bland and boring. Enjoyed not having to wait in any drive thru line, as we came around 5:30 AM. My candy cane drink was pretty good though. In the future, I don't think I will be returning here as $10 for a "Turkey Pesto" served as a turkey and cheese sandwich is underwhelming and seems like false advertising.

Eva G.

Yelp
I had gotten food nearby but I still wanted to get my chai tea with coconut milk at this location. It's conveniently located on Miramar Road with easy access to the drive thru. It wasn't too busy and I was able to enjoy my delicious drink and be on my merry way.

I've always been a fan of the best drink ever. Today I tried the seasonal peppermint best drink ever. It was delicious. I'm not even really a peppermint person, but the drink was speaking to me. Highly recommend!

Samuel H.

Yelp
always a nice spot to wait for an auto service, perhaps speaking from experience the employees are super friendly and I usually don't have to wait much for my orders to come out. I love how clean and quaint the interior is, although do note that the seating is quite limited. Best drink ever has never disappointed me; try it out if you find yourself here! :)

Angelene C.

Yelp
Came in for a few hours to do some work and grab a coffee. I wanted to try everything on the menu, but the barista helped me decide on the Cinnamon Cream Cold Brew which was really great. I was looking for a drink that wasn't too sweet and this one was perfect. This location isn't too big, but has a few tables inside and out to sit at. There is Better Buzz merchandise and coffee for sale in the front of the store as well. After trying this place, their coffee, and the overall vibes of the store (I love the branding and the music they were playing the day I was there) I'm really sad they only have locations towards the SD area and I don't go out there too often. I'll definitely want to stop here whenever I visit SD next. Please open up some locations in OC & LA!!

Quick, delicious & caffeine...what's not to like. Small location with minimal seating, this store is designed for to go orders, especially with a drive thru

Ayled Z.

Yelp
A small space, the banana chocolate chip bread is phenomenal and my iced matcha latte was on the sweet side despite not having asked for any sweeteners. The few tables were all dirty, covered in crumbs. And when we walked in no one else has been waiting for coffee, however they seemed busy with the drive through because it took a while before someone could take my order.

Jessica E.

Bad customer service, 15 minute wait time for 1 drink in drive thru, sitting at window. And made my drink wrong

Very cute coffee shop in San Diego! Great coffee and super friendly staff. Better Buzz delivers true to its name, which is a good strong coffee. Seating area is nice but little small and parking is a bit of an issue.

Andrew S.

Yelp
Came here based on a recommendation to try out a drink called "BEST DRINK EVER" which is a classic americano with a signature creamy vanilla. I opted for the large size which made it a triple shot! OK, definitely got a nice jolt of caffeine energy from the large drink, but I might try the "half sweet" option next time to make it a little less sweeter! The AC inside is blasting so definitely bring a jacket/sweater if you are sitting indoors. There is very limited seating both indoor and outdoor, so don't be surprised if there are no seats available. They have a drive thru option also, which makes it convenient. I will need to try ordering online next time!

Tyler M.

Yelp
I've gotten Better Buzz once before, but this was my first time actually sitting inside at this location! The place was a little small but a very nice ambience inside, good for studying or working if you can get a spot. The "Best Coffee Ever" was actually really good, I'm not usually a fan of super sweet coffee and I felt they did a good balance on mine, though I've heard from other people that this varies depending on who makes the drinks that day. The matcha was also decent, it definitely wouldn't be my first choice and I'd recommend the coffee over it (or picking out a specific tea/boba place that focuses on matcha). The team was fast and efficient with ordering and making our drinks, and I know their drive through option is also rather quick too. Overall I'd recommend coming here if you're in the mood for iced coffee!

We've been here once a while ago early in the morning and haven't been back since because we don't drive through Miramar much anymore. Guess what brought us back? Their hours! I think this is one of the few coffee shops open after 4:00pm (besides Starbucks), for crazies like us. The coffee is good, and the interior is cute. I've never tried the drive thru because it was busy and confusing in the past, but hopefully they've made it better since. Outside seating is ok, but there was shade after 4pm which is a plus. Indoor seating is mostly booth and communal tables, which were taken up by individuals using their laptops so it's limited. Now I just found out they have another location on Mira Mesa! I'll be checking that out soon too since I do go to the Target and the playgrounds over there often. Yay!

The cheese danish was amazing the blue drinkity drink was very bubbly and fun and the ambiance was super chill. The workers were super nice aswell.

3.5 stars. Went here to do some work and enjoy a sandwich while my car was being serviced. I had a bacon and egg ciabatta sandwich which was quite good (the bread was amazing but nearly $11 for a sandwich is a little wild). The WiFi was shotty and kept cutting out. Restroom was clean, water was good, and the staff was kind. I wouldn't go here in person, just stick with the drive thru. Like I said, the wifi was the most frustrating part, but if you're just going for some coffee and food, shouldn't be too bad.

Parking here is ridiculous. There are signs everywhere indicating who can park here or there. This location does have dine in seating but it's very little. This location is good for drive thru. Service is friendly.

I love better buzz and decided to try a new location on my way to the utc mall. The barista named Amy helped my wife and I in the drive thru and helped us pick out the pistachio croissant. I never tried something like that and she even recommended it "warmed up" and it came out flaky and warm. I was convinced that a hot vanilla bean with oat milk was what I was looking for as my drink and she was right! My wife ordered the turkey pesto with bacon and extra pesto aioli on the side and she said it was super good. Good job better buzz Miramar. Definitely will be back and recommend this place to family and friends!!

Paris R.

Yelp
The service and staff is amazing, I always make it a point to stop by before heading to UTC and im never disappointed. I recommend the iced lavender black tea latte w/ extra vanilla and oatmilk and although all their food is good, the acai bowls are my go to since theyre one of the only places left in sd that HAND-BLEND their bowls. The Miramar location always keeps me buzzed and stays consistent with their quality.

Henry T.

Yelp
Went to get something to eat to wait out my car getting fixed nearby. I figured I had tried Starbucks enough so I would try something different. This was the closest option available. The interior space is tiny. Actually was so small that it triggered my slight claustrophobia while I sat down to eat my avocado toast, which was actually pretty good if a little plain, and acai smoothie (which tasted... interesting). I think acai is probably best in a bowl mixed with other fruit and granola. I should probably order the bowl next time. The interior space was also very loud, with the cacophonous mixture of the drink blenders, employees shouting, customer conversations, and the blaring music over the PA system. I don't know how the guy sitting next to me was able to do his work/studying on his laptop with all that noise.

Liz L.

Yelp
It sucks paying $8 for a drink you love and never getting a full drink. Went yesterday and today- no change. I check off no foam on my orders and I know when it's poured it settles but instead of waiting and make sure it's topped off they just throw a lid on it I'm better off buying the stuff to make it at home. 12/14/2023 Todays drink was less than the first two!

Lala H.

Yelp
Better Buzz is one of my favorite coffee shops (but Dutch Bros. is #1 in my book...we need one in SD). The "Best Drink Ever" is my go-to hands down! Hot or iced, it's delish either way (I like it with a little extra vanilla powder...you can thank me later). I use to go to Fashion Valley mall just to get my fix, then Hillcrest (but parking is non-existent) and PB...but now that Mira Mesa and Miramar have Better Buzz in the 'hood we have more opportunities to get our BB fix! I have only been to this location 3 times, my orders have been good, however each visit the customer service was lacking...which is why I deducted a star. All in all I do recommend Better Buzz over Starbucks for sure!

Alex, Brittany & staff saved the day today!!! Thank you for problem solving a glitch in the system and helping me with my online order. There was a huge line and they figured out a way to multitask and make my coffee within 3 minutes. You guys ROCK!!! -Casey Amazon driver

We stop by Better Buzz fairly regularly and it's always consistently good. The coffee and food is solid and everyone that works there is always pleasant. The store is clean and well managed. I don't leave reviews all that often, but today we were super impressed with the service and I just wanted to leave some positive feedback. We went through the drive through and were assisted by Juan Pablo. He was very friendly and helpful. My partner was looking for a new coffee to try and he gave him a great recommendation. (Blended coconut) Then he asked for a name for the order. My partner has a name that is uncommon in English, so usually people misspell it or don't understand what his name is. He always has to repeat it two or three times before inevitably having to shorten it to make it easier. But not in this instance. Juan Pablo understood it and we were pleased to see spelled it correctly when we pulled up to pick up our order. I know this might seem like a small thing, but it was just really nice to have someone understand. Thank you for taking the time to make our interaction just a little more pleasant!

The manager Alex is incredibly kind and patient as she answered all my questions about the different kinds of coffee and Better Buzz in general. Chiron is always amazing and totally makes my mornings! Chiron is kind and genuinely good-hearted. He remembers me every time and makes me feel comfortable. Last week I was listening to an audiobook while waiting in the drive thru and started to cry a little. Chiron saw and showed genuine care for me and checked in to make sure I was ok. It really touched me! He showed absolutely no judgement and reminded me it was OK to cry. Thank you, Chiron.

I placed an order for pick up and was supposed to be done by the time I got there. I ordered a large vanilla Caramel latter extra hot and 1/2 sweet and a large caramel latte with oat milk extra hot and 1/2 sweet . I waited inside for at least 20 minutes for the 2 drinks. They are extremely busy and I understand . Both drinks were really good . Worth the wait. I would definitely get the coffee here it's so much better than Starbucks

SD G.

Yelp
I like coming here only thing I wish the sitting areA would be more inviting and comfy. The coffee is strong with great flavor and taste hot like Starbucks which is watered down. The yogurt bowl I got the coconut yogurt with perfect amount for one person. It's not overly sweet with a touch of honey comb.

Justin S.

The coffee is decent, but the study / hangout vibe here is terrible. Very loud, cold, and the WiFi never seems to work. It's a tiny location.

Jasmin H.

Yelp
Was visiting SD and have heard about Better Buzz via social media for years. I know this is a newer location and was in a rush, so opted for the drive through. The worker standing outside was nice but not super helpful in recommending me options as a first timer. I went with the iced vanilla bean latte and a matcha latte with oat milk for my sister. Honestly the latte was good but not amazing. Solid coffee flavor and not too sweet, not too bitter. I didn't like that I ordered light ice on just this one but both drinks came out with the exact same amount of ice (3/4 of the cup full) even after asking the worker explicitly abt their usual amt of ice they give. The matcha was reminiscent of a starbucks matcha latte, potentially worse but didn't expect much I guess. You order and pay with a person at the drive through, and pull up to a window just to get straws if you want and then park in a designated # they tell you where you wait for your order, which is different.

Amazing everything and JP is wounderfull. I was extremely hungry and JP offered me the most delicious sandwich that I've ever had. I don't know if it's because it was starving or if it really was extremely delicious. But everything was fantabulous. Keep up the good work. This is the location I love to come to.

I've noticed a lot of cafes close crazy early, so my friends and I came to Better Buzz to study after trying two other spots. I ordered tea so I can't speak for the coffee but I am definitely not going to come back here to study. Better Buzz Coffee is a very well branded coffee chain, and this store has a shelving display dedicated to selling merch. The store is pretty small, and there are only about four tables. The main issues I had as I tried to study were the loud music and bad wifi. I could hear the music even over my headphones. I was trying to watch a video, and it paused every 5 minutes. It was really a inefficient situation. Their pastries looked quite good, but I was full from my earlier meal and didn't get one. I just got an iced tea and it was nothing to write home about, very bitter. I don't really make a big deal about service, but when I let the person at the register know they were out of toilet paper, I got a snappy reply. There are many better cafe drinks and study spots in San Diego, so this is a one and done for me.

Delicious coffee and teas. A little pricey but worth it for specialty drinks. The service is good and the inside is nice and clean. Their sandwiches are bomb. My favorite is the turkey pesto.

James V.

Yelp
A solid addition to the Miramar area! As with their other locations , this Better Buzz has a hip interior + exterior design with memorable branding: "life is better buzzed." It wasn't crowded on a weekday afternoon. My friend and I were both flatlining into a post lunch food coma so coffee sounded fantastic. I typically opt for a "best iced drink ever" but went for hazelnut today. It was as expected -- quite sweet. Perhaps that's on me for not asking, or maybe I should've gotten an unsweetened drink altogether. Pricing was okay ($5-$7/drink). Service was prompt. Seating area was clean and featured good music. Solid stop.

Love their New Salted Toffee Latte , & Buzz. This place is always so great for a Coffee date... The staff is Amazing

Michelle G.

Yelp
This location is super cute! Blue velvet seats are SUPER comfy. The vanilla latte was super flavorful & the açaí bowl was packed with fresh fruity flavor. Between a busy store and drive thru, the service was incredibly fast. Very fast paced place & service! Lots of parking in the lot which is a huge plus. I'm interested to try the other locations to a have a feel for the different stores

Lani M.

Yelp
Let me just say.... I love Better Buzz! Just as much as Starbucks. But Better Buzz I feel is way better since more exclusive! & there's not many around so I don't drink it as often as Starbies. I've been to this particular location a few different times before going into work. & typically I'll order for my coworkers as well. I've never really been inside the store itself. Usually go thru the drive thru since I want to be in & out. The many times I've visited this location, the drive thru wait time is ridiculously longggggggg. I mean I understand they're backed up, there's many ppl ordering, it's early morning, they're tryna fill orders as fast as they're ringing them up. But each time I've ordered it's like 20mins+. Who has that amount of time to wait especially if you're making a quick pit stop before work. They usually tell me to pull into a parking spot to wait for my items. There's usually a FEW cars waiting in the stalls already. Be prepared to turn off your vehicle. Lol. The food & drinks itself is top tier. They just need to work on how quick they bring out the items. Love their vanilla frappes!

I didn't try their coffee but their coconut matcha is really good and the matcha was whisked well. They also have a drive through and plenty of parking!

Justin M.

Yelp
Out of all the Better Buzz's in town, they have always made my drink right, it's always ready at mobile order, and I'm always greeted with a hi and bye! Snickerdoodle lattes with oatmilk and a crumbonne is my go to and it never disappoints!

Lala B.

Best coffee ever - was happy they were open on July 4th! Love their açaí bowls and pistachio croissants!

Mei T.

My friend and I got our morning fix: Coconut Latte with oat milk and almond croissants. The drive thru was quick and efficient, the drinks perfectly sweetened, and the croissants soft and flaky. I definitely recommend swinging by here to get your daily dose of caffeine! This particular location is rather small and only have a few stools outside. If you're looking for a coffee house where you can lounge around, this isn't the place for you. There's a much much larger Better Buzz in La Jolla. This place is good for grab and go, or drive thru. Same great quality, just a significantly smaller location!

Not sure who or what the girls name working on Thursday dec 21st on the night shift, but damn girl, smile and act like you enjoy your job a little. Say hello, say you're welcome when you finish a drink, smile. Looks like you hate your job and everyone around you. Ordered a small cause i don't want a ton of milk, They gave me a 20oz hot cup wtf. lol Didn't say hi when you walk in, didn't ask what I wanted to order. Finished my drink and literally said nothing. Hats off to the guy who took my order and was cleaning the place because at least you look like you care about your job. Anyways place sucks because of service like this. Go somewhere else. Threw it away tbh. Be better better buzz. More like be better grumpy girl.

The place is very expensive. I ordered an iced mocha and the bacon ciabatta breakfast sandwich, and it cost $15.68. I was offered two drink sizes, and chose the smaller one. The mocha was too sweet. I wasn't asked for a desired sweetness level, so it's their default. The sandwich was tasty, but for $8.49, it should have been bigger than it was. Weird experience with the staff. I used the drive through. A dyed blonde white girl took my order by the menu outside. When I got to the window, I grabbed my phone for Apple Pay. The girl there had a confused look on her face. She then said "oh, it said you were paying with cash." No one asked me how I was going to pay, so how did that come about? Did fake Goldilocks assume that because I'm black I could only pay with cash? Given the reaction of the employee at the pick up window, that's the only thing that makes sense.

Never disappointed when I go here. I need a dose of caffeine, and they are there to provide it. Friendly staff is there to give great recommendations, too! My new favorite is the hazelnut divinity with oatmilk. Chef's kiss. It's perfection. Definitely recommend it next time you find yourself at Better Buzz!
