Better Buzz Coffee La Jolla

The staff move with the sense of urgency of a sloth at this location.

Coffee is meh. Pastries are great.

Nice location in downtown la Jolla. Atmosphere was nice with the outside tables. Staff was very polite and coffee was great as always.

Really great coffee, excellent selection of breakfast dishes, great atmospheres, a block from the beach, heavenly!!!

First time here. And the line was well worth it! It truly was the best pumpkin chai latte with oatmilk I've ever had. Highly recommend 👌🏼

With a unique and friendly layout, and with some great coffee, this place was perfect for my morning coffee!

Stopped in here while visiting from out of town. Place has an excellent sense of style but the service was not super impressive. Only 1 other guest in front when we were there in the late afternoon. They ordered a chai, I ordered a nitro cold brew and picked up a bag of whole bean coffee. It took about 5 minutes for the nitro to be pulled, which is odd. The cashier and barista just didn't seem to have any sense of urgency.

The drink I received was pretty disappointing. Even though I ordered nitro, it was served in a standard 16oz cup with about 1/3 ice. I've only ever had nitro one other place that served it with ice and it was a barista accident. It really ruins the visual cascade and immediately defroths the drink. I asked the barista as soon as they gave me my order "do you always add ice to the nitro?" to which he responded "yeah, of course" as though I was the first person to ever question this (which I highly doubt). Their cup label even indicated they include ice, though I wasn't specifically asked about it when I ordered nitro. So it's safe to say, this is just what they do here.

The cold brew itself seemed fairly watered down to begin with, so I definitely can't recommend the cold brew or the nitro based on my experience.

I'd say overall staff service 3.5 stars, shop aesthetic 5 stars, whole bean coffee 4 stars, nitro 1 star. If I'm ever nearby again I'd have to try a different drink, but I'd more likely try a different shop.

Don’t order to go just drink in store, the line is wayyy too long ...

Coffee is average, clean and friendly place to visit.

Hard to find a spot to sit as expected but to go line is too long stay. At least when you have a cup people will squeeze you in for a seating.

No water is offered at the time I was there not sure if it was too busy on weekend.

We came to Better Buzz Coffee with family while on a quick trip in La Jolla. We wanted a quick cup of coffee before we departed. better Buzz is visible from far away, and has a very open appearance. It is easy to see what they have to offer and boy do they have lots of options. I got the Mocha de Mexico and greatly enjoyed it. There is tons of flavor that is not upsetting. We also got the Vanilla Latte that was delicious as well. The wait for our drinks was long but worth it. Set aside at least 20 minutes. This place is great for a coffee date or cup to go.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!
Our Server was Ella, she was not only super friendly but gave us amazing recommendations. She made me a hazelnut divinity and let me just say. I think this is hands down my favorite coffee. As a former Starbucks barista, I can proudly say this is the best coffee shop I have ever been to. Definitely will be back next time I visit Cali. Thank y'all for making my visit a great memory to remember

My friends and I only tried the coffee and we really liked the white chocolate mocha, both hot and iced were really good! They had some free stickers and the inside of the coffee shop was a vibe but we were headed to the beach so we didn’t stay.
