Better Buzz Coffee Docks Drive-Thru Cafe in Mira Mesa | Eater San Diego

"Celebrating its 20th anniversary with the opening of its 13th cafe on June 28, this fast-growing local coffee chain came full circle after starting as a humble coffee cart in a Mira Mesa corporate complex and later opening an 8,000-square-foot production facility in Vista in 2008. Recognized as one of Eater’s essential coffee purveyors, the company roasts and delivers coffee on-demand across San Diego and emphasizes careful roasting to maintain peak caffeine levels (hence the “better buzz”). Its single-origin espresso appears in straightforward drinks and popular specialty beverages such as the Mint-Infused Iced Coffee and the Vanilla Bean Latte, and this summer it’s debuting an iced version of its Best Drink Ever® based on cold brew extracted on a proprietary system. The Mira Mesa cafe replaces a former Subway in a center that also houses other bakeries, opens daily from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m., features a drive-thru window, and will have a conspicuous 15-foot inflatable coffee cup on the roof." - Candice Woo
