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 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!

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!

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!

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!

I always enjoy my visits to Better Buzz, but this last time really stood out thanks to one incredible employee--Leanne! Not only was she super friendly and welcoming, but she also had the kind of positive energy that instantly brightens your day. She made great recommendations (seriously, her drink suggestion was on point) and somehow managed to keep the line moving and make everyone feel like they mattered. The vibe at Better Buzz is always fun and chill, and Leanne adds something special to it. You can tell she cares about the customers and takes pride in what she does. People like her are the reason I keep coming back! If you stop by, hope you get lucky enough to be helped by Leanne--she's awesome!

Oh my goodness I'm from out of town and decided to try better buzz for the first time because the name is so cute and it was so yummy!! I went through the drive thru because it's #fourthofjuly weekend and I was in a rush and I was helped by Ryan who recommended me a horchata latte and it was soooo good! I will definitely be back next time I come to SD #lifesbetterbuzzed

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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 have come here every morning for the last 5 years. Every item is amazing and it's always so busy because it's the best! The coffee and food is all amazing. We get the açaí bowl, better breakfast, hazelnut divinity, vanilla latte, best drink ever... all the amazing. Ava is always smiling and so helpful. Everyone is so kind to my two young boys who come in with me. Anytime anyone visits first stop after the airport is always better buzz! Like I said I come here everyday and everyday It's the best

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

This is hands down my favorite coffee spot in San Diego. Better Buzz in Point Loma isn't just a coffee shop--it's a whole vibe. From the second you walk in, you can feel the energy. The atmosphere is always upbeat and welcoming, whether you're there to grab a quick drink or settle in for a work session. The employees here are genuinely some of the nicest people you'll meet. Friendly, fast, and they remember your name (and your order!)--which says a lot about the kind of culture they've built. Shoutout to the manager as well--clearly a strong leader who sets the tone for the entire team. You can tell they care, and it makes all the difference. Oh, and of course... the coffee is top tier. Whether it's a classic latte, a seasonal special, or one of their famous "Best Drink Ever" creations, it's always made right. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. It's more than just caffeine--it's a place that makes your day better.

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.

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 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.

I really enjoy this specific Better Buzz location. Super cute and welcoming. Indoor seating and small outdoor patio to bring my dog. My most recent visit this week to get my usual best drink and orange chocolate scone was top notch. The employees here are fast and efficient without losing their friendliness. Thanks for another great experience!

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.

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!

You can't run errands without coffee so I came straight to Better Buzz and WOWZA I will be back! A girl named Ava took my order and she was so nice and helpful! When I got to the window after a very short wait, miss Vannia was also very nice and the two of them made my visit one to remember! Don't even get me started on how yummy the coffee was...

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

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.

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.

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."

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.

Great drinks and beans. Always get it right. Can be busy and navigating a car on the heavily trafficked corner can slow you down. Suggest ordering ahead.

I stopped in on a busy morning before a field trip and was a bit worried about the length of the line. However the line was only long because these drinks are that good! It went super fast and we were able to get out in and out in about 5 minutes. Leanne made my honey latte perfectly and my friends mint coffee great as well! Plus it was my birthday and they made me feel special!
