I had to bide some time before my Best Friend's Dad's funeral, so what better way than to grab a cup of Joe. This was my first time visiting Better Buzz and I now understand why patrons visit in droves. I already had my usual one cup of coffee at home, but since I was off today, I wanted to taste if the hype was real. I can assure you that the coffee at Better Buzz hit the Mark.
Better Buzz is a small chain of coffee shops in San Diego. I know of the one on the southwest end of Rosecrans Blvd., which was always packed when I passed by it. The one I visited today is located in Mira Mesa and it shares half of a building with El Pollo Loco. It is across from Golden Island Dim Sum & Asian Cuisine and it's in the same shopping center as Target and Hobby Lobby. As you enter the shop, there is table seating with a black and white, beige, and gold color scheme and you're greeted with their slogan, "Life's Better Buzzed." There is outdoor seating with umbrellas and plenty of parking. The young Asian girl behind the counter was really friendly and provided quality customer service. The only issue I had was that my cup of Java was messy, so I had to Pat it with a napkin to clean it.
Customers flock to Better Buzz and after consuming my first drink, I now know why the allure. I think even my family friend Zola spoke highly of this place. Besides coffee, they also sell sandwiches, toasts, teas, bowls, and smoothies. I didn't see that they sell Ruben sandwiches, but they have other types of sandwiches. When I was perusing their menu for their types of coffee, I asked if their Horchata Iced Latte comes in a hot version, but sadly it doesn't. I asked the kind employee helping what was a popular coffee and she said any items in yellow or the item boxes, which was their Best Drink Ever. The Best Drink Ever is a Classic Americano with Signature Creamy Vanilla. Make sure to blow on the coffee because it's scalding hot. After cooling down and taking my first sip, it was a great recommendation. I loved the taste of the drink and the sweetness was just right for me. I definitely want to try the other highlighted drinks.
Better Buzz lived up to the hype. If you're visiting Better Buzz for the first time, I highly recommend The Best Drink Ever as the first coffee to try. This was a good way to pass time until I can be there to support my dear friends.
