Luke and Bert were amazing!! I’ve been to many better buzz locations including the headquarters and I’ve never had customer service the way Luke and Bert provided! Truly amazing service I will forever come back to this location even though it’s a farther drive

Better Buzz has great coffee but not worth the long drive in wait.

The Iced Pumpkin Chai is to die for but it's only available for a limited time.

I’ve been here twice on two different holidays to SD and am always pleased by the friendly staff, delicious pastries and fantastic coffee you can get either walk up (there’s no official parking, FYI) or their very efficient drive through service. Certainly worth a visit if you’re near Shelter Island.

First time trying this place. Better buzz. This is the turkey sandwich they served me. I think they might have mistakenly served me something else. I would highly recommend avoiding this coffee shop.

Good food, terrible staff. I forgot to ask for my drink iced and it came in hot so when I asked for them to remake it they openly talked crap in front of me as they remade my drink. It was not busy, it was slow. I was the only one in the drive thru and when they remade my drink it was wrong.

If you’re a student and want a good drink and a nice ambience to sit down and do work, this is the place. I walked in here and was immediately greeted by the barista working the register. I remember her name was Ashley. She was of great service to me and made me feel very welcomed. Im not much of a coffee drinker, so she gave me multiple great options, and i ended up choosing the conscious chocolate! Which is a chocolate protein shake (so good you have to try it). For what you are getting it’s worth every penny. I then sat down at their high top tables, where i was able to plug in my computer and get some work done! She had also recommended to me earlier about their food items (which they make fresh every day), so an hour later i went back up and got one of their ham and cheese croissants and added an egg to it (which she recommended and it was definitely the move) and it tasted amazing. All in all, I would highly recommend coming here to either get a drink, some food, or get some work done! I will definitely be back here again soon!

My visit to the Better Buzz Coffee in Terminal 1 of the San Diego Airport yielded a genuinely disappointing experience across several key areas. While the location offers appreciated convenience, the execution of the product and service policies was subpar, leading me to a two-star rating.
​Firstly, I was highly frustrated by the refusal to serve my order in a personal reusable cup. This policy, applied to both a standard coffee and an espresso, is a significant step backward in environmental consciousness and convenience, especially at a major travel hub. In an era where sustainability is critical, accommodating reusable drinkware should be a standard practice.
​Furthermore, the quality of the coffee itself was underwhelming. The medium roast I ordered was noticeably weak and lacked the robust flavor profile expected from a specialty coffee vendor. This low quality was consistent with my observation of the equipment; the espresso setup appeared to be a low-effort, push-button automated system, similar to those used by larger, less artisan-focused chains.
​For the price point and the brand reputation, I expect better quality extraction, stronger flavor, and a commitment to sustainable service options. I hope the management addresses these issues to align the Terminal 1 location with higher service and quality standards.

The inside is relatively small and the drive thru is short and has a long line. I would recommend downloading their app and ordering ahead of time. Plus their app has rewards

Vegetarian options: There is plant-base alternative milk to choose from.

Parking: There are very limited parking options.

I went here and the workers are so rude. this is the rudest and worst better buzz ever. They are literally racist And disgustingly mean here. I came and the lady taking orders was already rude and looked like she hated her life when taking our orders. She acted as if we were wasting her time and were annoying all I wanted to do was look at the menu. And then when we rolled up to the window the lady did not say one word at the cashier and just took our money and do not even give us our change back. She is lucky it was only a dollar of change left. We grabbed one of the cups on the shelf to look at it and possibly buy it and the lady stared at us as if we were going to steal it. I don’t know why they act like this I have been going to this better buzz for years and been living in point loma all my life. I have never encountered such rude workers that Would stare at us as if we are different. I felt racially profiled here, seriously. I want a call immediately about this service.
