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.

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.

Can’t get enough of this place! I used to be all about the Horchata Latte (and it’s still amazing), but I recently discovered the Mint-Infused Iced Coffee and I’m hooked. It’s so refreshing, with just the right amount of mint—not overpowering, just perfect. Pair it with the Turkey Pesto sandwich and you’ve got the ultimate pick-me-up. Whether I’m on the go or taking a quick break, Better Buzz always hits the spot. Great drinks, tasty food, and fast, friendly service every time!

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!

Best coffee shop I’ve ever been to. San Diego is basically my home away from home, and this shop makes those super early mornings perfect ✨

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!

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.

The staff at this location in particular has done a full 180 in the 1.5 years. All very kind and appreciative of the business. Josh especially, is one who will greet everyone with a smile and make all orders right, if they mistakenly misread the order. Really appreciate the manager and entire team at this location!

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.

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!

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

This is my favorite location. The team is so friendly and always remember me by name. I would drive farther to go to this one for that reason alone.

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

I stopped by Better Buzz while waiting to meet a friend. This location in Pt Loma has a busy drive-thru, and parking is limited on the surrounding streets, which can make it tricky to find a spot. Inside, the café is bright and cute. I asked the barista for a strong, sweet drink, and they suggested the Moroccan Spice drink. It is a shaken espresso with spices and heavy cream on top. I ordered it iced, and it was delicious. I will definitely return for more the next time I'm in the area!

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

The best coffee with the best service. Hands down the best latte I have ever had. Ava has always been so helpful and has guided me to ordering the best stuff on the menu!

Their 3 seed avocado toast with added bacon is to die for! Thanks Alan for making it so yummy! Also my drink which was hand crafted by Chanel was literally the best drink ever !

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!

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

Had the Hazelnut Divinity hot, iced vanilla latte, hot Americano, Bursting Blue Raspberry energy and the Avocado Toast. All of it was so good. The coffee was not too sweet and had such a great flavor. The toast was perfect and a large portion.

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.

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.

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."

I love this Better Buzz location! I come here almost every morning on my way to work and the service is always great! The staff is super friendly and the service is always very fast! One of the girls there, Sami, is always a friendly face to see! She always takes my order with a smile and reminds me about my rewards which I appreciate!

This location gets quite the drive through line, but they are well equipped. Ordered breakfast sandwiches and coffee to go and they were ready within the estimated time given. Their drinks are solid always (I do ask for half sweet though). The breakfast sandwiches were perfectly good - not exceptional but I'd willingly eat again. There is some indoor and outdoor seating available.

Love this location! Drinks are great, love the açaí bowls, and sandwiches as well! Customer service is also awesome! Everytime I go, the baristas are always very welcoming and attentive! Ava recommended a drink for me and it was exactly what I wanted/needed. 10/10! :)

Love better buzz, but this location always seems to miss. Ordered a cold brew with vanilla foam, they put so much ice that it tasted like a light watery coffee... and then to top it off they forgot the foam I paid extra for. Every time I go to this location something is wrong

This is the second time that I have been to this location and it was great! The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the long line but they were taking orders up the street so they were doing their best. They made me pay at the window; which was weird and seemed to slow down the line. I am sure they are trying different things to speed up service but that doesn't make sense.

I don't know why I keep coming to this location but man it's really never a good experience! I've been in the drive through line for 20 min! There's only been 3 cars in front of me MAYBE 4 cuz I can't tell if there is one in the port but honestly this is ridiculous, it will be a 25 min wait before I even get my dang coffee.

I was looking for a quick coffee when getting ready to explore the area and found this franchise. I wasn't too familiar with them but glad I gave them a shot. The coffee is good for decent price. I picked the hazelnut latte which was recommended by the friendly staff. Great spot and I would very much try it again.

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.

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.

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.
