Better Buzz Coffee Hillcrest

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Better Buzz Coffee – Hillcrest

I had an amazing experience at Better Buzz Hillcrest thanks to their awesome employee named Effie. This was my first time at a Better Buzz and From the moment I walked in, he was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping me choose the perfect drink. His customer service is outstanding, professional, upbeat, and attentive in a way that really makes the visit feel special.

Effie’s drink and food recommendations were spot-on, I ordered the pistachio croissant and the snickerdoodle latte and my order came out perfectly. You can tell he takes pride in his work and cares about creating a great experience for every customer. Everything was fresh and the atmosphere was great.

If you’re in Hillcrest, definitely stop by Better Buzz 😃

Had a great experience at Better Buzz today! Effie was super helpful and offered different milk alternatives since I can’t have whole milk. He helped me modify my drink perfectly. Great service!

Definitely my fav place ever!

I always get a lavender tea latte with an add shot and oatmilk and it has been consistently delicious! I've tried their better breakfast and chili crisp wrap and both are really good :)

If you're looking for a hip place with good vibes, or do work on your laptop, or you're visiting from out of town, I recommend stopping by!

I recently visited San Diego and found Better Buzz in Hillcrest. The coffee and food was fantastic and the service was extraordinary! I enjoyed it so much that I went back for a second visit on my trip. On both occasions I had a delicious iced coffee and tried two of their breakfast sandwiches; super great. The Barista's name, that made my coffees, was Auston. She was very friendly and seemed to love her job. I will definitely go back whenever I'm in town.

I really love the chain of Better Buzz but this specific location always feels special to me. I had the best experience due to Priscila, she was welcoming, very knowledgeable and made me want to come back just to experience that level of welcoming again. Will 100% be back!

My drink accidentally spilled so I asked the first barista I saw to have it remade, she was super sweet and didn’t hesitate to make it quick! The drink was perfect, I think her name was Priscilla!

First timer today at Better Buzz didn't know what to order so I asked barista Priscila what she would recommend, she was very detailed about the menu & helped me choose my drink. Drink was a 9/10! Would def come back!

I’m from out of state and, until my visit to San Diego, had never even heard of Better Buzz. I was pleasantly surprised, as I’m not a big fan of other coffee places. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed it so much that I went back a second time in the few days I was in town. The design of the space made for plenty of seating options and the atmosphere was chill. The employees were very pleasant and appeared to be having fun. There was a clear camaraderie among the Baristas as they hustled to get orders out quickly. All were exceptional, especially Auston who greeted us with the biggest and best smile.
In addition to the excellent coffees, I had the avocado toast the first time there and an almond pastry the second time. Both were excellent. I highly recommend Better Buzz. I don’t think you’d be disappointed.

Loved the place and loved all the employees and their hospitality and the drinks are fire!!! Would recommnd coming here again 🐝

In the short time I've been sitting here, no fewer than 5 people have come in with their dogs, ignoring the sign at the entrance that says no dogs and one of them letting their dog come right up to my feet. And this seems to be encouraged by the staff. Not acceptible. Besides not being a dog person, I'm also allergic. I thought this was a safe space, but apparently not. Change your sign or tell the obnoxious dog owners to keep their dogs outside.

I love Better Buzz! This is the flagship store, and it's a great place to relax withe a morning brew and a sandwich. Their Better Breakfast Sandwich is excellent. There are many other food choices, but to be honest, I love this egg and bacon gem so much, I am reluctant to miss out on it in order to try anything else when I visit. Their Best Drink Ever is also good, but I ask for it half-sweet. The standard version is too sweet for my taste
