Better Buzz Coffee Point Loma

Soooo good! The feta avocado toast was absolutely delicious. Their new Dweet Heat Maple Croissant was a hit with my husband and all the coffee options are great. I prefer less sweet, so I typically cut that in half, but they get it and it never disappoints. Wish Better Buzz would come to Venice Beach

Well, Better Buzz is known for its exceptional product and customer service. However, this particular location fell short in amenities- the internet. The internet connectivity speed was significantly slower than expected for a coffee shop, creating an unproductive environment. This hindered my productivity, forcing me to deviate from my intended tasks. Additionally, parking is limited and parking area is very compact.

My visit to the Better Buzz Coffee in Terminal 1 of the San Diego Airport yielded a genuinely disappointing experience across several key areas. While the location offers appreciated convenience, the execution of the product and service policies was subpar, leading me to a two-star rating. ​Firstly, I was highly frustrated by the refusal to serve my order in a personal reusable cup. This policy, applied to both a standard coffee and an espresso, is a significant step backward in environmental consciousness and convenience, especially at a major travel hub. In an era where sustainability is critical, accommodating reusable drinkware should be a standard practice. ​Furthermore, the quality of the coffee itself was underwhelming. The medium roast I ordered was noticeably weak and lacked the robust flavor profile expected from a specialty coffee vendor. This low quality was consistent with my observation of the equipment; the espresso setup appeared to be a low-effort, push-button automated system, similar to those used by larger, less artisan-focused chains. ​For the price point and the brand reputation, I expect better quality extraction, stronger flavor, and a commitment to sustainable service options. I hope the management addresses these issues to align the Terminal 1 location with higher service and quality standards.

We had a lovely breakfast at this coffee shop! The food was delicious — we especially enjoyed the Acai Bowl and the Better Breakfast sandwiches. The service was great, and the coffee with caramel was incredibly tasty. The atmosphere inside was cozy and clean, with plenty of seating and a nice view to enjoy while eating. The prices were very reasonable — for two people, we paid $52 for an Acai Bowl, two sandwiches, and drinks. Overall, a great spot for breakfast or a coffee break. Highly recommended!

I've been coming here for so long and never wrote a review, but after today's visit I just had to! I came through the drive through and they were so fast and friendly, and the young man who took my order was very sweet, I think he said his name was Bryan. Bryan brought me a menu when I said I was thinking about trying something new and he eventually helped me decide on the caramel vanilla latte- very yummy! I'll definitely be coming back to get buzzed! lol!

We were in town for an event and our hotel happened to be across from here so we thought we would try it out. We were so pleased, as the whole experience was exceptional. Customer service was always friendly, both at the till and when we picked up our order at the window. We got the yogurt bowl, which filled us up all day!, the chai tea latte (best my husband has ever had), feta avocado toast (chefs kiss), chocolate muffin, and lavender hot chocolate. Amazing experience and we really hope they can make it up to LA sometime, you would have lifetime customers ;) Next time we’re in San Diego, will definitely be back.

Every time I visit San Diego I stop at this Better Buzz for my matcha with coconut milk. The staff is so sweet and the drinks are delicious. Sofia took care of me today at the drive through and I loved her bubbly, kind, energetic personality!

This place is great with many great options! Day 1 I had their coconut coffee and it was really good. Day 2 I wanted to try an energy drink and the lavender energy drink did not disappoint!! It tasted really good and not too strong! The line does get very busy for drive thru, but it does move fairly fast. One of the best spots to try!

My favorite location to go to! I always receive amazing customer service from all of the employees and the food and drinks never disappoint. The only tricky part is the parking lot but I prefer the drive-thru and it does go super fast so I'm never in line for too long.

Great store. Great coffee, not burnt, and the food was prepared well and tasted great.

I love better buzz, I get it so often that the staff recognize me and know me by name (shoutout Erin!). It is always a great morning when it is a better buzz morning. Depending on what time you go it may be hard to find parking, but it's so worth it!!!! I highly recommend this place.

Outstanding coffee!!! Delicious banana bread!!! Great vibe with friendly people. Highly recommend! Please come to Austin. We need you there.

After multiple visits and four incorrect orders, I was again given the wrong drink. I politely let the barista at the window know, and they remade it, but the replacement iced latte was even worse. It was nearly colorless (instead of the usual dark brown), had no ice, and tasted like water. When I brought this up, the barista responded with a poor attitude, saying, "That's the way it's supposed to be." This location has been consistently disappointing. The drinks are inconsistent, and the staff lacks professionalism and customer service. I ended up throwing the drink away, it was honestly the worst black tea latte I've had from any shop. Very disappointing overall.

I could tell that the place was good. There was a line going all the way down the street leading up to their drive thru. There is a small parking lot but the wrap around line for the drive thru made it very difficult to get in so we decided to park in the street adjacent. The place was bright and vibrant. The girl taking my order was bubbly and friendly. She was helpful in me making my choice given that it was my first time. We got a caramel frappe drink and the iced vanilla oat milk latte. Both were really good. They have lots of different drinks and flavors that look interesting. They also sell food and snacks. This was a great first experience of their brand. Looking forward to a return visit to try other items.

I've been going to better buzz frequently for the past several months. They have excellent customer service, food and drinks but what occurred today was in excusable. I ordered a toast and noticed that it was oddly dark around the edges. I thought maybe they gave me the wrong type of toast but I looked at the bottom and saw it was the type I ordered. The edges were not just slightly burnt but it completely black. I looked at the bottom and thought ok it's not too bad and I'll just take the crust off. I started eating and noticed an off taste/texture and saw some black on top so I scraped off the topping and saw that the entire top was completely black as well. I called and the head chef was apologetic and accommodating. He offered to refund or remake and promised to look into it further (and I believe he would). I don't care if food is slightly burnt, I'll eat it. I don't care about the money, it's no big deal. I don't care about time, I'll wait. What bothers me is someone saw that it was completely unsuitable for consumption and intentional covered the burnt side in an attempt to deceive me. Again, not just slightly burnt but fires of Mordor burnt. I give it 5 stars for previous experiences, 5 starts for how the head chef handled it, and -100 for being deceived into eating inedible food. There's no excuse for serving food in that condition.

Food is excellent and fresh! We added bacon to the turkey pesto sandwich, omg! Only one side of the sandwich was toasted but it was still crispy and good. The acai bowl was refreshing and delightful. I also had a vanilla latte, I recommend that too. Service was good, we were greeted immediately with smiles, the food took a few minutes. The ambiance is quiet, everyone is on their computers working. We sat outside to enjoy the nice weather. I want to compete back for the avocado toast. Great little coffee shop.

I got the Iced Horchata Latte. Service was pretty quick considering the long line of cars. I didn't go inside the shop so I am not sure about the ambiance inside. I was surprised that the horchata latte wasn't as sweet as I expected it to be. I liked it but I also could have used a little more flavor. But overall, I'd go back to this coffee shop.

Couldn't come to San Diego without getting Better Buzz. This location had a drive thru and it was nice and cozy on the inside. We got our usual, the vanilla bean latte and the best drink ever. The service was friendly and drink were delicious.

This location is on a corner with a small drive-thru lane , street parking , outside patio and inside tables with a cool vibe and coffee. Staff welcoming and they do have breakfast items , baked goods and merchandise Their coffee is great! Other drink items on the menu , combos yummy! I had a breakfast sandwich it was hot and delicious that went perfectly well with my cold brew coffee. Thanks

First I want to say be careful about street parking. The nearby curbs are not painted but it's posted no parking from 7 AM to 10 AM every day. I parked behind another car and narrowly missed getting a parking ticket, just dashing in for coffee. Whew! But otherwise, the service is friendly, I got a medium roast coffee and found it delicious, and last time I got their avocado toast which was incredibly good on a thick slice of house made whole-grain bread. I give them all thumbs up except for the parking situation. I was disappointed that staff working the drive-through line who I walked right by after parking illegally in front of them didn't give me a heads up. Because there was already another car parked there, I didn't think twice. Figured the sign was about street sweeping or something. But it is for every day!

Great coffee shop to stop by for a quick breakfast! I enjoyed their Better Breakfast Sandwich a lot. Their matcha latte was also pretty good. It's somewhat small inside but you can find seating inside or outside. The baristas were nice.

Are you traveling to San Diego and want to try a local coffee store? Better buzz is your place and definitely mine! Specifically the one on Point Loma. The service is peak, it's something every coffee store especially the StarBucks across from it could learn from. From the baristas to who takes your order outside it's always a delight and something that's a staple with this store. I've never had a bad coffee or treat while visiting and I don't think I will. The store is something you think of when you come to San Diego, small but unique something you'll never forget and remember every time you come here. The smell of coffee fills the air as people greet you is something a lot of places are missing now these days. Overall better buzz Point Loma is something the business as a whole should be taking notes from. It's a great coffee shop to stop by great a drink and talk to the people working there they're so friendly and who can resist the smell of fresh coffee in the morning?

This is my go to coffee shop in Point Loma. They have great drinks, the service is quick, and the location is perfect. Broden helped us this morning in the drive thru and was making us laugh.

Eh, I wanted this to be amazing. It looks amazing. But it fell short of its mark for me. I still think it work trying but keep expectations normal, and maybe it'll be better. I got the horchata ice coffee, and a like apple cinnamon muffin thing. While my friend got a raspberry coffee.

The service was great! Got my drink so fast! Erin helped me at the front and was so sweet she knew exactly what I wanted!

For the 5 days we were visiting San Diego, we got Better Buzz four times. Loved the Cinnamon Cream Cold Brew, Best Drink Ever, and OG Acai Bowl with almond butter. The regular sized hot Best Drink Ever is the same size as the Large Iced one. The Açaí bowl with the almond butter was delicious-- we got it 3 times. I tried the Hazelnut drink, but I didn't like it as much as the cinnamon cream cold crew and Best drink ever. The cinnamon cream cold brew was definitely my favorite. My boyfriend bought the vanilla cream powder they sell. He said it tastes so good when he adds it to his coffee.

Better buzz coffee to me is so much better than Starbucks. Service and coffee here is great. Just wish they had a better outdoor seating area especially if you have your four legged friend with you. Ha

Now I don't usually do ratings however I was a bit disappointed in this sandwich. I ordered it through uber eats. When it arrived it was a bit cold to even begin with. And there was barely any pesto in this sandwich. Now I took a few bites but the taste of this sandwich was not it. Now I tried to get a refund through uber eats only to get told that I couldn't smh ‍

A must go for coffee lovers. Perfect balance of sweetness and classic coffee or tea. I got the lavender tea latte and it had a balanced amount of tea flavor and creamy latte. Service is efficient and can get busy. We parked down the street and walked in. Views are amazing being by the coast/marina.

Today was my second time going (I was always intimidated by the long lines), HOWEVER I was impressed how well it went today. This time I used the mobile app and upon drive thru your team members were professional and friendly. This is what stood out to me on why I will come back aside from the great food/drink options of course. Please thank your staff for their hospitality and reward them with something as a team, if offered.

Loved the decor and vibes of this place! They were popping on a Saturday morning at 8:30 so I knew they were going to be good as we were visiting from out of town! The service was great, friendly, & quick! I got their ham and cheese croissant and it was so good! I also had their coconut matcha and wow! The perfect blend of sweetness and coconut flavoring!

Came here twice to grab coffee while visiting Point Loma. Service is quick and the place is cute! Drive through line could be long and it seemed to be busier during the weekend but really great coffee

Jose took my order at the drive-through and was very pleasant and the food was delicious! Got the bacon ciabatta breakfast as usual. The coffee drinks are also on point Oh and the girl who took the payment and my food was happy and friendly. Love Better Buzz.

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!

Our first time here to see what all the hype is about. Sunday morning, August 10, 2025 at about 8:30 am. My wife and I placed our first order. About 5 minutes later they call her name and she hands me my drink. She did not receive her drink as she thought it is coming up next. Nope. She waited and waited and waited, until she thought way too many people that came in after us were receiving their orders. She inquired about her drink and they forgot to make hers. Well,. ..First time here, LAST time here. Here's a tip to customer retention, FOCUS!

Favorite better buzz location in San Diego! Love love love starting my day with the mint infused iced coffee :) & the staff is always so friendly and kind!

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.

Better buzz is a great option if you enjoy sweeter coffee drinks as opposed to espresso/artisanal coffee. My favorite one I tried was the horchata latte with cinnamon cold foam! The lavender tea latte is also really good. I definitely recommend for people that enjoy Starbucks, Dutch bros, etc.

My husband and I visited today around 1:30 or so and we had no trouble finding parking. The cafe wasn't super busy and the employees were so friendly and patient as we tried to decide what to order. Our drinks were delicious. Really yummy iced matcha with coconut foam and my pumpkin best drink was perfect! Thank you!

Other than being so busy, you may have to wait and no place to park around the coffee. Here is excellent lots of fresh bakes items inside and as many service people as they could have working in the small space, everyone was friendly and everyone was helpful and everything was clean if you're in the neighborhood stop by based on foot, but if you have to, you can do the drive-through sometimes it backs up on the street though so be careful.

great service today! the drive thru line moved really fast. Loved the better breakfast on gluten free bread

Great customer service! And they actually had the toast after 7pm! Woohoo! It's kinda a small shop on the corner, minutes away from the airport. We were headed to sunset so perfect location! The employee that took our order was super soft spoken, sweet, thoughtful and friendly! She also reminded us about using our rewards/app, which we had a free drink reward!

This location was right across from our hotel. Great spot to start our day in SD. We placed our orders online for their lattes. They were tasty but definitely on the sweeter side and can be a bit heavy on the syrup. Definitely recommend checking out their loyalty program! They give out free coffee oftentimes.

I got the Best Drink Ever, which is americano and vanilla cream. It was almost a little too sweet, but the bitterness of the espresso complements the sweetness well.

Not for food! The server sent out a BURNT chili crisp wrap in a to go box! It cremated the egg and I threw it away! Should never have been sent out of the kitchen! Looked dry and bland too! Coffee may be good but the food not so much!! Got home and it was inedible!

I've seen this spot in Vegas and said what the heck is this, the same day I was headed to San Diego and it was across the street from our hotel. It became our first stop on day two of our vacation. The small location on Rosecrans was small but accommodating for indoor seating. Ordered the Better breakfast sandwich and a ham and cheese croissant with egg along with the best drink ever and the horchata iced latte. All I could say is wow. The sandwiches were delicious. The taste of the first was amazing with all of the flavors bursting through. The drinks were tasty and not at all bitter. Definitely will return.

Love the coconut best drink Great service and everything is delicious I keep hoping they will come to San Luis Obispo. Cal Poly and Cuesta College would love

First time visiting the Point Loma location .I got my usual, iced Best Drink Ever. It was ok but had coffee grounds all on the bottom (every time I drank it I would get coffee grounds )and sprinkled on top? I always enjoy the service and coffee but today was disappointing.

I normally don't order anything other than an americano but I decided to try their "best coffee ever" and for a non-americano it was definitely a favorite! Their yogurt was also incredible! The added honey comb really make the difference and I got mine with berries, hemp seeds, granola, and bee pollen and all ingredients felt very fresh/high quality. My friends who ordered the avocado toast also raved about it. The shop itself is pretty typical but very well lit, could maybe see myself doing a couple hours of busy work in there. It was definitely a great way to end my trip to San Diego this week!

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!

Everyone who works here is so nice and welcoming! They do a great job of getting folks through the drive through quickly too

A charming little place on a busy street corner - perfect for people watching. There's so much natural light, and the staff are literally the sweetest and most helpful. Looking at the other customers, I'm also now convinced that the only people in San Diego with below average attractiveness are the tourists. The food was super mid; I got a pesto turkey sandwich, which I genuinely wish I never found out what it tasted like. Please stop serving this. But you get 4-stars because wtf your coffee is wildly good. Like so, so good. Please stop serving food, but please never stop serving coffing

Amazing service and excellent drinks!!!! The employees are always very friendly Hbbkvcg jogging jjggjj

The service is So great here. They always go the extra mile. Once I absentmindedly drove off before getting my food item. They remembered the next time I came in and remade the food item free of charge. They are good people at the Point Loma shop. And the coffee is the best in San Diego!

Everyone is so friendly and nice. They all work so hard. The food is really good and fresh and coffee is great also. Way better than Starbucks. Erin is great!

Amazing espresso, service and yummy food!! The baristas were very welcoming, We will be back!!

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!
