Better Buzz Coffee Hillcrest

love the vibes in this place!! wish i had more time to sit down and stay. i got a blueberry muffin that was good, but wouldve been great warmed. the coffee was one of the better ones ive had in san diego so far. worth the stop!

Not sure what's the buzz about this place (I'm coming out of town) but it feels like a flagship store for a local Starbucks. Coffee is pretty mediocre, served in super size and extra hot. My friend got a 16oz cappuccino haha.

On the other hand, the space is fantastic. It's a grand and spacious hall with lots of indoor seatings in various areas around the central bar. It looks like an excellent place to chill and maybe get some work done, as long as you don't really care about the coffee.

The place is cute and the coffee is great! Also they have tables with wifi in case you like to do some work as you enjoy your coffee.

This is the most beautiful coffee shop! Have been a big Better Buzz fan for years , but when I walked in here, I felt like, this is where I want to be. The layout, design, architecture and music playlist were so perfect for an early morning coffee meetup. Delicious baked goods, great selection. I'll be coming back to work remotely, for sure!

Awesome friendly atmosphere!
Great coffee and bakery items.

Highly recommend the Mocha de Mexico and a savory avocado toast (add bacon, add egg over easy)!

Pictured is a second pastry I got (ham & cheese croissant (add bacon).

Stumbled upon here waiting for my Airbnb to be ready. Great atmosphere! Tons of seating. Make sure to explore, lots of nice decor. I had the “best drink ever” iced and it was so yummy! The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend; only downside is the lacking of outlets to charge our laptops.

The smell when the door opened was heavenly 😍. They were super busy but quickly getting people through the line and still kept friendly and smiles up!
Seating was limited however they do have quite a bit of it, ground floor tables and bar tops, mezzanine level with several tables, and a few outside too.
We got Chia Lattes hot & ice and they were fantastic, great blend of spices, creamy and smooth!
The ham & cheese croissant were so flakey, crisp, warm, and gooey -with warm ham and melted cheese in every bit.

This whole place is a vibe. Amazing. My hot latte was luke warm but the atmosphere made up for it.

Delicious coffee and pastries. Service was pleasant and efficient. Great experience!

Love this place ❤️ best drink ever 💚 better breakfast 💚 acai bowl 💚 end best wi-fi, what’s not to like 🤭
