Better Buzz Coffee Hillcrest

Cool vibe to hang out at. But... 1. No outlets anywhere so make sure your laptop/tablet is fully charged.
2. Music is a bit loud for reading or studying.
3. Sandwiches have little to no meat on them.
Also... It can be hard to find a place to sit - which they could remedy by opening their 3rd floor seating, but they decide to not do that 🤔 - such a waste...

Recommend? Yes!! Such a cute and cool place to sit and chat while eating. Will come back!

- F00D: I ordered an acai smoothie and it was really good! Also had their Zucchini walnut bread and it was good as always!
- Great service, very fast and very friendly!
- ONLY complaint is that it was too crowded which isn't the establishment's fault. That actually demonstrates that it's a hip, nice place to eat!

Asked for a flat white which should be two shots in at most an 8 ounce cup. I like a full bodied, rich cup of coffee. I was assured, with a bit of attitude, that the batista could make one. Ended up with the standard 12 ounce milky cup of coffee which was good if that's what I asked for.

Absolutely stunning coffee shop. This place is gigantic; with 3 floors, meeting rooms and outdoor seating. They're extremely busy, but we were fortunate enough to find seating on the second level. The 3rd level was not open on this day. The décor is incredible. Looking down at the center of the coffee shop from the 2nd level is a beautiful sight. It's a great place to study, get work done, and relax. I must say that their iced latte was very milky and slightly watered down though. Their wifi was also down, so I ended up having to use my hotspot to get work done. While both were very disappointing, the ambiance and décor made up for it. I think that coffee shops need to post when their wifi is down. I was visiting in the area and had I known wifi would be down, I would have gone to a different coffee shop.

Parking in the area is not great. It took us driving around the block several times and ended up parking far down.

This place is like a modern art & architecture museum, so aesthetically pleasing in every detail and corner, perfect place to work, hang out or read a book with nice coffee by hand. They have two floors with lots of seating. I like their rose latte and I would definitely come back a thousand times

A super place to go and relax and have really good food. They don't rush you out and they work pretty fast. I definitely would go back again.

Really busy place. Coffee is mellow. Lots of people working, but it took 15 minutes to get 2 plain black coffees once ordered

Great atmosphere, lots of people, Friendly staff and great coffee! My honey latte was fantastic!

I love their drinks and the place is super cute, but their WiFi doesn't work. Came here to get some work done but ended up leaving with $7 less in my bank.

Beautiful location. Its spacious compared to the one in La Jolla and Point Loma. I had the "best coffee ever". Indeed it was!
