"This coffee spot came highly recommended, and the line that was 10-15 people deep confirmed that it was worth a try The menu offers a wide variety of classic coffee options with a Better Buzz twist. There are many seasonal and flavored drinks, you can choose hot vs cold on most drink options, and there are various drink sizes. You can also add additional shots of espresso I tried the coconut flavored Best Drink Ever and the Hazelnut Divinity. Neither were incredibly sweet, which I appreciate. I’m not a huge hazelnut fun, but the taste was subtle and enjoyable The storefront is trendy and modern, and it was very busy, but the counter and area was a little messy. It took several minutes or more to get our drink order, and that appeared to be par for the course. I also saw that a couple drinks orders didn’t have their lids firmly put on Some tips: Obviously, this location is in a high-end shopping mall. So, enjoy your drink as you pursue the shops. Also, Better Buzz has a rewards program. So, sign up and start earning points today! Cheers!!"

"Got luck out today. There were only 3 people in line when I passed by. I waited about 5 minutes to put in an order. For those of you who don’t want to wait, order online is the way to go. Excellent coffee with tasty and nutty flavors! My go-to high end coffee place."

"Better Buzz Coffee is hands down one of the best coffee spots around, and a big reason for that is the leadership. Adrian, the general manager, does an incredible job creating a welcoming, high-energy environment that you can feel the moment you walk in. The service is consistently excellent, the staff is friendly and well-trained, and everything runs smoothly—even during busy times. It’s clear Adrian truly cares about both the customer experience and his team, and it shows in every detail. Great coffee, great vibes, and great people. Highly recommend stopping by if you want quality drinks and top-tier service."

"I've been a huge fan of **Better Buzz Coffee** for years, and every visit reminds me why they're one of the best coffee spots around (especially here in Southern California)! From the moment you walk in (or pull through the drive-thru), the vibe is energetic, welcoming, and just plain fun — "Life's Better Buzzed" isn't just a slogan; it's the truth. Their small-batch roasted beans are top-notch, ethically sourced, and always brewed to perfection. The cafes are beautiful too — whether it's the flagship Hillcrest spot with its cool vintage roaster and mezzanine seating, or the chill Pacific Beach locations with rooftop views — there's always a great atmosphere to hang out or grab and go. My absolute favorite? Their **cold brew**. It's smooth, bold, and has that perfect rich flavor without any bitterness — seriously one of the best cold brews I've ever had. I usually go classic black or sometimes treat myself to the **Cinnamon Cream Cold Brew** (cold brew with a touch of caramel, topped with vanilla & cinnamon cold cream... pure heaven). It hits just the right level of caffeine kick to power through the day, and it's refreshing even on the hottest afternoons. The staff is consistently friendly and fast, the food options (avocado toasts, acai bowls, breakfast sandwiches) are fresh and delicious, and the prices feel fair for the quality. Whether I'm stopping by for my morning cold brew or swinging in for an afternoon pick-me-up, Better Buzz never disappoints. If you're looking for exceptional coffee with great vibes, do yourself a favor and buzz on over — you won't regret it! ☕✨ #BetterBuzz #ColdBrewLover #LifesBetterBuzzed"

"I love the service, they were quick and kind! I got the snickerdoodle latte and it is super sweet and tasty, my sister got the horchata latte with almond milk and she said its a little bitter but still tasty, almond milk makes it taste a lil watered down so if you like thicker maybe do oat :)!! I also got the zuccini muffin and that one is bomb highly recommend!"
