Better Buzz Coffee Encinitas

I’ve been to this location several times and it’s my favorite one. I always have to modify my drink because of diet restrictions and they do a great job accommodating to that.

We’ve been doing a lot of reviews of coffee shops lately, but this one stood out, and I felt the need to say how great they were at the counter. I have a son who is indecisive sometimes and they were very patient with him. I also didn’t know what I wanted. Seems like it runs in the family. Either way Jacki was able to help me out. Got the drinks for everyone and got out the door pretty quickly. I would definitely recommend this coffee shop. They’re all really kind inside. I’m tired of going to the same coffee shops so better buzz is a refreshing breath of fresh air.

Not not sure how the espresso drinks or especially drinks are; however, their drip coffee tasted stale and burnt as if it was sitting in the pot for a long time.

Açaí Bowl was excellent. Surprised by long wait (anbout 25 minutes) after online order.

Not a whole lot of space outside to sit, but otherwise nice coffee that isn't burnt. It is another Starbucks without the burnt beans.

I visit this location weekly, and I was genuinely surprised that it took 15 minutes to receive my drink. For the price, I could easily make my own coffee at home and work from the library instead. My drink was left sitting on the back counter instead of being placed on the pickup shelf, so I was left wondering where it was. When I finally received it, my hot coffee was already cold.

The barista kindly offered to remake it, which I appreciated, but by that point, 20 minutes had passed. I’m not looking for anyone to be reprimanded — I simply ask that drinks be placed on the pickup shelf or that names be clearly called when orders are ready. The current system clearly isn’t working and wastes customers’ time.

This is the only location I still visit in San Diego County after previous negative experiences elsewhere, including management ignoring serious issues with aggressive patrons. Please address this problem, or I’ll have to take my business elsewhere.

Coffee was good, but the gluten free muffin was dry. They heated the croissant in the microwave instead of the oven apparently, as it was soggy when we got it. Guy taking our order was completely clueless about the bakery items and talked so quietly we couldn’t hear.
