Better Buzz Coffee - Del Mar
1435 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, CA
Crema's Take
“This beachside gem in Del Mar hits that sweet spot where serious espresso craft meets genuine warmth—baristas like John and Ashley clearly take pride in both their pour-overs and making you feel genuinely welcomed, even with picky orders. The outdoor seating overlooking the nearby park creates an irresistible vibe for lingering over a cappuccino or their celebrated Caprese sandwich, and it's the kind of place dog-friendly regulars keep returning to week after week. Their specialty drinks and thoughtful recommendations (like that perfectly balanced half-sweet suggestion) prove they're invested in getting your coffee experience just right.”

I’m here every week for my caffeine fix and the baristas here are always friendly and accommodating to my picky order. The location is beautiful and I enjoy walking to the park by the beach to enjoy my coffee and pastry. Love how they always have new seasonal offerings too. I don’t review places often, but this place deserves the love.
JOHN (about 6’2, brunette) is THE best!!! Came in Friday evening (the night before Valentine’s Day) and got a caprese sandwich. John gave a warm welcome and provided such a friendly interaction. Was definitely my favorite experience at a coffee shop. Made my whole day actually. Ended up getting a toffee cookie, too. Thanks John, hope you get the recognition and appreciation you deserve!! 💜
I’ve been a HUGE fan of Better Buzz for years (their caprese sandwich is THE BEST and the coconut buzz) but I had an especially fantastic experience at this location. John took our order and his friendly personality was such a breath of fresh air. He went above and beyond by offering us samples on several teas. I always feel like people deserve a shoutout when the service they give is exceptionally above average. If you come to this location, ask for John! And try the pistachio croissant 🥐
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. 👏☕
Great energy, environment and decor, coffee was excellent (the barista suggested half sweet and it was spot on).
