Better Buzz Coffee Hillcrest

Beautiful coffee shop! Has incredible seating and the coffee is delicious. You have to try the honey latte here! I came here to do school work, and unfortunately could not find an outlet to charge my computer forcing me to go back home for the day.

"I’ve been visiting Better Buzz at Hillcrest for quite some time now, and I can confidently say it’s my favorite spot in town. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax or get some work done. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and they go above and beyond to ensure every visit is enjoyable.

Their coffee is consistently top-notch, with a wide variety of options to choose from, whether you’re in the mood for a classic espresso or a seasonal specialty drink. I especially love their matcha tea latte
W/ oat milk and the ham and cheese croissant, which never fails to brighten my day.

Overall, Better Buzz at Hillcrest
is more than just a coffee shop; it’s a community hub where everyone feels welcome. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great cup of coffee and a cozy environment!"

This place is so cute I can't even stand it! It truly is a work of art on its own! It's so beautiful to look at! I also got a large hazelnut divinity latte and OMFG it was actually divine..... their lattes are on the sweet side for sure but it was phenomenal! There's actually an upstairs with more seating, decor, including pictures, plants, etc. It's marvelous!

The chocolate chip cookie is always a nice treat! The cashier was very careful to inform of cross-contamination risk for allergens when I mentioned it, which was much appreciated!
I tried the Orange Matcha Latte, and it did not fail. It's very good that the matcha is unsweetened because coconut milk has a very distinct taste that can make or break flavors, but Better Buzz Hillcrest got it right! <3

Parking: Street meter parking or neighborhood parking was very difficult to navigate as there were little spots.

Love, Love this coffee shop! My go to drink is the Killer bee with their seasonal strawberry foam. (so good) and their waffle sandwich. It is always kept nice and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. Better Buzz is a must try when visiting San Diego and I must say Hillcrest might be their biggest location.
