Great smoothies and bowls. As someone with a peanut allergy it’s hard to find a place that doesn’t use peanut butter in theirs. Coffee was good too. Plus, nice environment to enjoy them in
Great
I just love Better Buzz! I miss it since moving away from the area. I stop by a location whenever I’m nearby. It was after lunch and this place was hopping! It was packed. It was busy. But, I still had good service. I buy the bags and have them grind them for to my specs. I got to enjoy the scent of fresh coffee all the way back home. It is is a fantastic location, with a lot of foot traffic. Perfect place to enjoy a cup of brew, nosh on a croissant and watched all of the people passing by!
Good tea. Open vibe to the street venue. Busy but no long wait.
Waited almost 50 minutes for a breakfast sandwich. After 20 minutes I went to ask if it was almost ready as others who ordered after me had gotten their food already and was rudely told they were making it. After another ten minutes I asked again and after checking they, said someone else had taken my order and they had messed up. No apologies from them after finally getting my food and for waiting almost an hour.
It's amazing how the world begins to change through the eyes of a cup of coffee. As long as there was coffee in the world, how bad could things be? :} My 1st visit to Better Buzz was 6 months ago and I have been back here a half dozen of time. There was something about this place that resonates with me. The jazz pours out of the open doors along with the aroma of fresh-baked scones makes me feel warm and comfy. The place is pretty large and well spaced-out, rusty yet functional furniture adorned with plants and tasteful lights. I would come here just to experience the buzz and the local people. I love people watch and this place is the perfect place to do people watching. I have taken several out of town guests to this place. They rave about it and thank me for the recommendation. I ordered a blueberry scone and cappuccino today. My friend tried mocha buzz and she loved it. Next time I will try the iced horchata latte. It looks super fancy and European. Get better buzzed here, please. Buzz on...
Better buzz just always gives good vibes. The decor is so nice and such a good stop. Coffee is always super good, and even a quick bite never fails as well. The chicken pesto sandwhich or caprese sandwhich always hits. My go to coffee order is the "The Best Coffee Ever" its so creamy and so good.
Great coffee! The Staff were very kind and helpful. Definitely would recommend and go back.
This may be hard to believe for some, but there actually was a time in human history when you couldn’t find a coffee place seemingly on every street corner. Today it feels like you can stumble upon 3 of them on a stroll to your mailbox. Clearly the need to set out on a trek in search of coffee has been eliminated. That is, of course, unless you’ve discovered a place worthy of the trek. Well we believe that we have! This Better Buzz location is outstanding. Sure the coffee and food are really good, but I think it’s the vibe that really stands out. Laid back, but somehow intentional about nurturing what you feel here. A great place to meet up with a friend or pound out a few emails. The song selection and volume blend into the vibe seamlessly. Yes, you can place your order to go, but why miss out? The laptops were out in force during our visit, but the convos at numerous tables were also flowing. Our only warning about this place is don’t think you’re gonna attend a virtual work meeting and go unnoticed. Your colleagues are gonna quickly realize that you’re in a way better place than they are and resent you for it. No work phone calls either. Stick to surfing that keyboard of yours or risk being outed as someone too chill to be paid for “working.” And that’s…Henry’s Take. #betterbuzzencinitas
This coffee shop has free 2 hour parking in front. It is in a walkable area with other shops. They offer some pastries and baked goods for breakfast and the coffee was good. They probably offered more types of food, but our group had to rush. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. We had a meeting of 7 people and were easily able to sit at tables outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. This is in a nice area near the beach. Highly recommend for the true CA vibe.
Atmosphere is great but I do experience some lackluster items---Today, I watched one barrista carry on a long conversation with a non-employee friend while my drip coffee cup sat empty. There were two others waiting on their drip as well. The other day I visited a French cafe in Encinitas and I had the BEST almond croissant--I say that part as I had a horrible almond croissant at BB today. It was the biggest waste of $4. Anyways, I'm sure I will still visit BB, however, there are so many other cafes & coffee houses to check out for sure
Service was slower then I'm used to but the end product was good.
Tyler and Dillon were awesome! Great customer service! My dirty chai was absolutely delicious
Rose latte ah huh! We were hesitant to try the place but were completely taken by surprise by the size of sandwich and so flavor full! Get buzzed!
Oat milk latte was ok not much flavor of coffee more like a milk late. Standard for coffee in America is very low. Ordered food and it took for ever to come out. Service is really slow here and we came early before the rush. Staff looks depressed not even a smile or a good morning. Acai bowl was below average Sandwich was not warm or toasted. Indoor and outdoor seating. Was not impressed with food paid almost $30 for breakfast with only 1 beverage.
Such a great dirty Chai! I had one shot and it was perfect but if your feeling it they can put more than one! My partners coffee was also robust and piping hot.
I liked this location. Tables and floors were clean and the staff was pretty friendly. I liked that they were able to make me a Cortado even though it wasn't on the menu. What I liked best though was that they were open in the evening where every other coffee shop in the area closed at 4pm. Will definitely be back
Seemed incredibly busy when I went. Spent about the same time in line and waiting for a drink as the time to drink it (about 20 minutes). Prices also seemed high, but that could just be the area.
It is a chain so if you ever had the coffee you know the taste. Still they manage to have very good coffee. Only 4 stars because the place is always crowded and loud so not the most chill if you want to stay in. Great for to go and walking around downtown.
Great coffee great atmosphere great location. Definitely the best better buzz out there. Coffee is a little pricey though
