“On my first visit I was greeted with an incredible smile and the willingness to get my straight matcha perfected even if she had to add more matcha or more water. On top of this amazing hospitality, I was treated to a beautiful message on my cup. 20 plus years at Starbucks and I have never got a heart. ❤️“

“La Costa Coffee Roasting is an absolute gem. Our family has been going here forever! From the moment you walk in, you can tell they care deeply about quality and craft. The coffee is consistently excellent—rich, smooth, and thoughtfully roasted, easily our favorite local cafe. Highly recommend their espresso blend!

The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about coffee, always happy to recommend a roast or explain their very cool, vintage coffee roasting machine right in the middle of the cafe. Whether you’re grabbing a quick cup or picking up beans to brew at home, the experience feels personal and welcoming.

La Costa Coffee Roasting is a must-visit. Easily the best coffee spot around.“

“Shout out to Mac Williamson for his help in updating my logo and hooking me up with a company that provided a table runner quickly and inexpensively. Now I'm ready to exhibit at the SD Festival of Books!“

“We visited Carlsbad in 2023 and of course fell in love but one of my favorite memories was waking up early in the morning, sun still hadn’t popped out, it was foggy but the temperature was already perfect. My daughter and I walked to Interim Coffee while listening to the waves crashing in. We absolutely loved the coffee shop and the vibe and yes of course the coffee was great too. Got back to our Airbnb just in time to watch dolphins swimming. Might seem like no big deal but it was such a great memory and one we still talk about.“

“I met Marcela and Amina at an industry event recently and they were AWESOME! They have the cutest cart, the most delicious drinks, and best of all - they are just incredibly fun to hang out with! Highly highly recommend for a holiday party, wedding, industry event... seriously anything. Love them!“

I had the pistachio iced latte last week and I think I nearly died and went to heaven. It is a must try! The food is good as well!

“We have been looking for a place that served tasty Acai Bowls…Our favorite Acai bowl places either, closed down, burned down or changed the way they made their Acai bowls…We found Liquid Bean Café on the internet and decided to give it a try…Well, we both had the Acai bowls but I added an Egg Salad Sandwich pressed in a Panini press to our order…The Acai Bowls were fresh and totally delicious!!!…I really liked the Egg Salad Sandwich and loved the way it was pressed and toasted in the Panini press…We highly recommend Liquid Bean Café if you are ever in the Del Mar area…We will definitely be back again!!!…Five Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Pour over cup of coffee was pretty tasteful and accompanying oatmeal raisan cookie was good. Fairly high priced though. Pleasant eclectic beachy atmosphere clean and neat. Usually busy with parking sometimes a challenge. Definitely worth checking out.“

“I work in the area and love walking over during breaks to get coffee, snacks, or their AMAZING paninis! The owner is incredibly sweet and is always happy to customize your drinks to your liking. She’s also always tinkering with new menu items, and I was lucky enough to stop by at the right time and try some experiments :) yum!“

“Not only does Drew knowledge of coffee exceed your expectations, but the service is always friendly and the product is on point!

“"Cat & Craft - Cafe" good“

“I love this place! You can stop by and get everything always with all the attention of the employees and taste the best things 😋♥️“

“A very quality coffee shop to get a “real” coffee beverage in a sea of Starbucks and commercialized coffee options.

The vibe is hip and modern, and the seasonal offerings are very unique and very good. A winter flavor that really hit was the orange vanilla pine latte. I avoid carbs but hubby had it and it was really balanced and creative.

They sell cute and functional merch as well as the beans! They roast a spectrum from light Ethiopian to medium Mexican, to espresso roast and mix of medium and dark. Decaf, too, I observed- processed minimally.

Bonus- the food looked very premium. And the Pop Pie is right next door.

I have to admit I was there twice in one day – I didn’t mean to, it just made sense the way my day was going.

I guess that means I definitely would, have already returned!“

“I love getting my coffee from here at the staff is extremely kind and the coffee is amazing. They also have a very variety of food for breakfast even some desserts as well“

“I want to say yes and recommend them. But I can't because I have a subscription to their coffee but they sent me the wrong coffee. it's been about a week, I've call a few times, left two voice mail messages, I've emailed as well and I have not gotten any response at all. The coffee I bought and subscribed to is good, but I can't continue to do business with a company that won't respond to their customers to fix their mistakes.“

“If I could give 10 stars I would! The vibe,, the specialty coffees made in the kitchen (so fresh and unique), and the people behind the counter with their bright smiles make this the BEST coffee place in town. Sylvi & Sierra are such pros and they are the sweetest. We come here for them as much as we do for the coffee! It’s a very special place you can only find here at the Alila Marea.“

“The Morning Grove in Carlsbad has such a cozy, welcoming vibe and a menu that makes it hard to choose just one thing. We tried a variety of items and honestly enjoyed almost everything. The Grove sliders were flavorful and filling, and the tomato soup with grilled cheese was classic comfort food done right. The caprese panini was fresh and balanced, while the chili crunch toast had a great kick and unique texture.
The wraps were solid too the buffalo chicken wrap had a nice heat, and the Golden wrap was hearty and satisfying. For drinks and dessert, the candy cane cold brew was festive and fun, and the toasted s’mores was the perfect sweet ending to the meal.
Overall, the food and atmosphere were great“

“super friendly and the coffee was great“

“First time at better buzz.
You know those coffees that instantly turn your whole mood around? Yeah, this was that. Ashley didn’t just pour a drink; she delivered an experience. The attention to detail, the care, the consistency everything about it reminded me why great coffee and great people make such a difference. It’s wild how one cup can set the tone for the whole day, but here we are. If you’re lucky enough to get a coffee made by Ashley, trust me, you’re in good hands. This one earned its spot in the can’t stop thinking about it category. Absolute top-tier energy, every single time. 👏☕“

“Love my baristas here!!! For such a tiny store, it has HUGE personality and great customer service.“

“Christine, the Better Buzz manager, came running out of the shop to help me when I ran over rocks by the store. She crawled under the car, worked and worked to release the panels underneath, and told me she had helped her grandfather all her life with cars. She truly was my angel today, November 30, and she is a caring, beautiful soul. Thank you.“

“I have had several treats from this cafe and, without exception, they have all been superb! Obviously made from the finest ingredients and always fresh. The team leader, Stephanie, is such a delight and is so thoughtful and kind. Thanks for the delicious goodies!“

“Best Italian coffee as well as matcha I have ever had! It is now a regular stop on the way to SD. 🫶CK 🇺🇸“
