It was my first time coming here and it did not disappoint! Pulled up to the window and was greeted very nicely. Told her it was my first time and she recommended a couple things which I got! I ordered the iced pumpkin spice latte with oat milk and then got the blueberry energy drink refreshment. Both of these items were great! Also got the bacon sandwich which was 10/10 according to my husband.

Stayed 7 days in San Diego and walked here each morning to have their amazing lattes, drip coffee, cold brew, matcha and tried their croissant flavors and loved their zucchini walnut vegan muffin. Rich creamy spicy pumpkin lattes and dark roast is rich and full bodied coffee flavor. Great service. Smooth coffee. Also hung out inside for an hour talking as a family. Great local vibe and place to get coffee!

No parking! Only drive through! It's a drive through experience! I generally don't like coffee in a paper cup it dilutes the taste of the real cappuccino. Entry is very awkward to the drive-through. Coffee on the other hand is really flavorful. I'm pretty sure it would taste fantastic in the ceramic cup.

It is a small setting but plenty of room to sit outside. This one has a drive thru and they keep it moving. Although I tried the chocolate covered expresso beans I did not like. I am a huge dark chocolate fan but I guess I couldn’t take the expresso taste. Join their rewards program!!!! U can earn a free coffee

Stopped in for the first time today. It's a cool spot but has a chain vibe. I was a little worried I was going to get more of a latte than a cappuccino, but it was actually pretty good. I was also pleasantly surprised that the egg and bacon sandwich was good too. There is a drive through here, but the walk in space is very nice too.

I wasn't fond of the coffee. Got a cappuccino with honey. Coffee tasted super acidic and not fresh. Didn't taste much honey either so had to add sugar. The staff wasn't super friendly either. I will be sticking to Starbucks.

Stopped in at Better Buzz while waiting to meet up with a friend. This location in Pt Loma has a busy drive thru service and parking is limited to the streets around the area so it can be a little difficult. The inside is brightly lit and cute. I asked for a suggestion from the barista of something strong yet also sweet and was recommended a Moroccan Spice drink. It’s basically a shaken espresso with spices and heavy cream on top. I ordered it iced and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely will be stopping back for more next time I’m in the area!

Super cute cafe with a drive through! When we walked in we were immediately greeted by the staff and the fragrant smell of the coffee. Great ambiance, friendly staff, big tables for working or for conversation. The amount of different flavors were exciting. The drinks were good and pretty sweet: great if you have a sweet tooth, but ask for less sweetness if you don't. Lots of milk substitutes as well. My favorites were the "best drink ever", the snickerdoodle, and the hazelnut lattes. Sweet and fragrant.

Cute coffee shop in Point Loma with friendly staff, bright & friendly atmosphere, and of course great coffee! I stopped by here while I was visiting SD last weekend and I opted to get one of their seasonal drinks, the pumpkin chai and it was delicious. The drink was smooth with a great amount of chai and pumpkin flavor and it was a great start to my day. I love the decor of this shop and the name of their drinks in relation to bees is so cute and a nice touch. They have your typical variety of drinks to choose from hot or iced and with alternative milks if you are lactose intolerant. Pricing is reasonable and like most other coffee shops in the area and they even have a drive-thru or you can order online ahead to avoid the lines. Parking can be tight so I recommend parking on the street and walking over!

I loved that they were open super early, 5 a.m. The staff was friendly and up beat ( for so early) Coffee was delicious, I just got a drip, nothing fancy but good !

Wonderful service, cute decor & good coffee. Visiting town, this place is on the corner with a drive-thru & some outdoor seating on benches. The indoor seating is high top with stools. I got the cold brew & chocolate croissant; brew is smooth & just strong enough to get the day going, they warmed up the croissant, very lite with a generous amount of chocolate.

The last 4 times I went to this location to get beans and a drink, they were each time either out of their standard beans or oat milk. Whoever is responsible for their inventory needs to step up their game. Not going back to this location again. All other locations are always on point.

Love this place...my drink was delicious and the customer service was on point. Highly recommend this spot!

I wanted to say last Friday I went and got 2 Matcha Lattes and on OG Acai bowl. I went through the drive thru, our drinks came out fairly quickly. The girl helped the guy give us our drinks and hurriedly said thanks! But we still did not get our Acai bowl yet. Once we told her, she came over very quickly and handed us a bag. We drove away to relax and sit down by the water. We were sadly disappointed there was hardly any granola at all! It was too late to drive back but not sure if this was supposed to be another person's Acai bowl or they just truly ripped us off. Hardly any fruit on top and about 3 spoonfuls of granola. The other times i have gotten the OG Acai bowls, they are pretty full. For $12, I expected more, there was at least 2 1/2 inches of empty space from the top of the bowl to the lid. BOO!

There are a few locations around the county but I love coming to this one because of the great service. Erin always greets me at the drive through with a big smile and remembers my name which makes me feel valued. Since her last recommendation for avocado toast it's become a staple of my order. In addition, I always get a best drink (iced). I will say that it's pretty sweet- half sweet is my preference but the coffee is flavorful and I love that it's organic! This place always has a long line in the drive thru so give yourself time.

Have heard several rave about Better Buzz specifically located in San Diego. Tried out the Vanilla Bean latte and Best Drink Ever! Both were really good! The vanilla bean latte has a slight sweetness to it, nothing too crazy, still good! The best drink ever.. highly recommend! Now it says that it's an americano, and normally Americano's are just pure espresso and water. I was expecting it to be quite strong or bitter, but was pleasantly surprised by the flavor! Definitely one of my favorites drinks I've had! This staff was really friendly and were able to help me with any questions. Also loved the pride decor to celebrate this month! The only downside is that there really isn't much parking for this location so be aware. However on the bright side, this location does have a drive-thru!

Best drink ever! Seriously best drink ever. Way better than Starbucks. Glad to see better buzz making it here in San Diego

Hi-ya! This place was busy and across the street from our hotel. The service was fast, good and product was good. Their coffee was what we all needed and hit the spot and we all ordered a ciabatta sandwich, which were all made fast and tasted fairly decent. Overall, the atmosphere, service and food was on point.

This coffee shop is so cute! Love the ambience and the service was great! Erin was so welcoming. It was my first time and she was very patient with me. I will definitely be coming back.

If I was on an expense account I'd gladly go to Better Buzz every day for weeks at a time. It's hard to find fault with a place that offers cinammon cream cold brew on tap. You may have heard me say I appreciate when a food or drink either has the name of the establishment, or appears in a rectangle with a large font and some version of "try our famous..." With a plane to catch as I sadly had to leave SD and return to the real world, I was glad to see the vanilla-laden "Best Drink Ever" and the "Better Breakfast" sandwich. While the size/value ratio isn't perfect, the havarti, bacon and garlic aioli are powerful enough to be mentioned in my next Ted Talk called "Stop Complaining About Free Motel Breakfasts And Go Somewhere Nearby."

Store was decorated so festively! My best drink was delicious as usual. Friendly and efficient staff especially for a busy weekend morning.

definitely recommend better buzz , love the people serving always with a great attitude even they get really busy especially right now that the holidays are coming up. My favorite drink right now it's the winter chai cold brew so happy they brought a chai foam was definitely waiting for this

Yelp
This place was highly recommended by locals. Crammed on the corner of Hugo and Rosecrans with a drive thru no less. Decent seating area inside but a small patio as well. Ordered two large coffees over 2 days, consistently good quality and robust dark roast blend. About $4 for large 20 oz? Cup. Staff pleasant and inside was clean. Gets busy. Recommend, 5 stars.

better buzz has been my favorite coffee shop lately i have been going through the drive through even on those long lines they always have a such a good attitude , thanks to Elizabeth for such a great service that she has having patience with me in deciding what to get.

Better buzz is usually awesome. The ciabatta sandwich is one of my favorite breakfast options. However, this time, I made the mistake of asking for sourdough. And was given half a sandwich. Wild that changing the bread removed half of the meal. Not sure if that was cause of the bread change, or just this location sucks, but I don't appreciate getting half as much food as I usually do, especially at full price. Not cool. Two pictures are attached. One is what I was given. The other is off Google images of what a normal bacon ciabatta sandwich looks like.

Got the "Best Drink Ever" Quality lived up to the name Love the ambiance of the place. The employees were very nice and helpful in explaining the menu Will be getting the merchandise next time I come back :)

This coffee shop was conveniently situated across the street from where I was staying. Despite its busy ambiance, the service was prompt. Their pistachio croissant was delightful, offering a rich flavor of pistachio creamy paste. The ham and cheese sandwich was tasty, and the OG Acai bowl was large and satisfying. Overall, Better Buzz had a great buzz about it.

Yelp
I love better buzz! I honestly wish I got their Coconut Matcha drink before the season ended bc it's easily one of my faves (along with the iced Best Drink Ever & iced Vanilla Latte w/ oat milk). They literally had me at coconut cream & matcha, two of my favorite things ever. Glad I got to try their elote toast as well! So hearty and filling. One of these days I'm going to wake up early and get the pistachio croissant because I'm always too late.

Quan D.

Yelp
A nice location with a great selection of caffeinate themed drinks. The shop does not have a lot of options for lounging (and the music was a bit loud) but it was empty enough for a relaxing morning. The line gets pretty long if you're ordering to-go, so keep an eye on that. May be better to order ahead and pick-up, but PL parking can be a bit of a challenge. The drinks are solid, better than most chained stores, with their own little twist. The pastry I got was pretty good, a little slow on getting out but not a big deal since I was there to kill off some time. I recommend coming inside and kicking back a minute; kind of an odd thing to say for a drink that's supposed to be your 'pick-me-up' but its nice to just sit back and enjoy a cup of coffee once in a while, and Better Buzz is a nice place to do that.

It's much better than Starbucks and a healthier option. I mostly get the acai bowl and the pesto sandwich is amazing on sourdough.

Staying down in San Diego, figured we would try to support local. Ordered ahead at this place, had to wait still when we got there (no worries, it happens) but when our food was finally out the coffee was lukewarm at best, seems like it should've been hot given the wait. Breakfast sandwich had basically raw bacon on it and an epic pile of arugula. It was just ok. Not great.

Our office recently moved to Point Loma and I drive past Better Buzz every day, I've tried coming in the morning but their lines are way too long so early in the morning. I ended up getting the app and ordering for pickup, if you get the app you can get a free regular drink after your first app order. It's so easy and convenient, I ordered a Mexican hot chocolate and a pistachio croissant, added the time for pickup and within 7 minutes I was there to pick it up. The team here are so friendly and had everything ready for me, also how cute is this spot? It's so bright and welcoming and plenty of space for people to work and enjoy their coffee inside and out. Also my pistachio croissant and Mexican hot chocolate were delicious!

First time trying out Better Buzz! Parked a block or two away. The line for the drive thru was absolutely nuts. It definitely causes a ton of traffic issues. For the morning, it was quite busy. Ended up just ordering a cold brew. It wasn't bad, but I would probably get less ice. Didn't stick out to me. Seating is a bit scarce both inside and outside. All in all, standard coffee shop. Not a fan of the layout of their place for ordering and drive thru. Inside, it just becomes a cluster of people ordering and waiting for their drinks.

Mmm, that's good coffee. Better yet, that's good coffee with a better buz.... I should come up with a better pun. I'll see what I can do by the end. I'll make this one quick. Located right on Rosecrans with a cool drive-thru in a small limited area. Real estate is tough to come by around here and they make good use of theirs. As I said, the coffee is good, smooth and hot. It goes well with some of the baked treats they have to offer. Service and quick and friendly. Okay, I don't have a good pun for buzz, but get some of their coffee and the rest of your day will be BREWtiful!

We walked in and placed an order. The staff was helpful with suggestions and answered all questions. The drive thru line was very busy however our drinks were made quickly, which was nice. I ordered a horchata drink and was slightly underwhelmed with the flavor, I was expecting a bit more. Nice place to visit if out for a walk in the area.

I came to get an iced chai and a OG açaí bowl. Well the chai is great but the bowl is awful. Please make the açaí fresh blended. I go to eat said bowl and the açaí is frozen solid so I can't eat it on the go I have to go home and BLEND that part so I can actually eat it. This isn't the first time this is happened but now it's getting annoying.

Great vibes, not too busy and fast service. Always quick, easy for on the go. Today I tried this energy drink its overall flavor is a berry taste, refreshing. I like the pop rocks for that extra sweet and sour taste.

Maybe I'm use to a certain style of coffee but not much on the selection choices. Seemed the same as Starbucks to me. Only complaint is the parking not easy to access with drive thru getting in the way.

Priscilla V.

Yelp
Great coffee but horrible lid cover. They use a sticker cover for the open area of the lid where you drink. When you take it off it leaves residue. They should something else because it annoying as some of the sticker residue goes in my mouth. I tried to take off most of it but it's super stuck on the lid. This is annoying!

I had a great experience at this better buzz! I love the space despite it being a small location. A few great things: - I was greeted multiple times by different staff members. - Restrooms were super clean! - My friend and I accidentally over did our stay by a few minutes and there was not a moment where we felt we were getting booted out. - Quick service but also a lot of baristas! What didn't go so great: -Parking is the absolute worst! That's all! My coffee was amazing! I highly recommend this Better Buzz.

Barista who took our order was super sweet she made conversation and took our order promptly. Love the blended drink. Tastes more like a shake lol we love trying different coffee shops while on road trips and they did not disappoint.

So stoked we happened to stop at a coffee shop in Liberty Station. My wife wasn't a fan of the chai latte at that shop and so we searched for a Better Buzz and we're very excited that there is a location in Point Loma. The coffee is impeccable as usual and the chai latte was quite good and my wife was quite happy. The service is excellent here as this location offers a drive thru they have to be on their game and they are. But because of the drive thru the space inside is so nice and quaint. You have a lot of high tables and barstools that line the windows that allows a view of the outside world.

Eat-in (indoor and outdoor), take-out, drive-through breakfast joint with pastries (banana bread, pumpkin bread, scones, croissants, muffins and muffins tops, etc.), breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and tea. No juice, but the hot Chai tea latte was the absolute bomb. The yogurt and acai bowls are large enough for one hungry person or two people who are also eating a pastry. The coconut yogurt bowl is quite sweet. The acai bowl comes almost frozen.!a They do have wifi but not enough (comfortable) seating (inside), that you would want to linger and work, especially since it is also loud with the various machines. I didn't notice if there was very much parking, since we walked from our hotel.

Marco H.

Amazing costumer service! Everyone is very welcoming and eager to answer your questions. It is difficult nowadays to find a coffee shop that is warm and welcoming. The staff here is doing a great job!

Better Buzz was by our home for a few days while visiting San Diego. We walked here and had friendly service, consistently good drinks and an overall great experience. The customer service was friendly and quick. They have coffee, teas, food and pastries. The drive thru was packed every time we went and I see why. Would definitely stop in again when in the area!
