Better Buzz Coffee Tempe Market Station
1949 E Rio Salado Pkwy, Tempe, AZ
Crema's Take
“Better Buzz Coffee in Tempe Market Station pulls off that rare feat of nailing both their espresso and their vibe, with customers raving about genuinely great coffee flavor and top-tier espresso that actually justifies skipping the usual chains. The welcoming atmosphere and helpful staff make it an ideal spot to settle in with your laptop or meet a friend, though their pastry game is still a work in progress. Their app ordering system sweetens the deal with solid pricing, and their seasonal drinks like the Candy Cane Best Drink prove they're willing to get creative beyond the standard menu.”

Coffee flavor here is great I love it! The cinnamon roll however..... reminded me of kings Hawaiian roll which is not the normal dough texture of a cinnamon roll and they didn't ice it very well, basically just bread.
Super helpful staff but more importantly better buzz and price over Starbucks. I was slightly irritated when told to download the app but I'm glad I did. Came back the next day. We googled diem our sandwiches so fast, no pics to give but I love they have better did than Starbucks. So, this is like a coffee bistro versus a coffee shop. I like that.
First time coming to this location. Asked for a warmed chocolate croissant. When I got it it didn’t feel warm, I asked them to warm it again. I had to come back in to show them the chocolate was still cold and hard. Anytime I get this in other locations the chocolate is melted/warm. Was told just the croissant gets warm not the chocolate. Croissant wasn’t even warm the second time and it was extremely dry. No other solution was offered prior to me leaving.
Q: How do you fix a broken candy cane? A: With a peppermint twist! Candy Cane Best Drink Ever and an Iced Matcha Tea Latte was ordered by app and picked up shortly afterwards. The Candy Cane Best Drink Ever at 3/4 sweetness and with oat milk was an amazing sweet treat after hiking "A" Mountain nearby. I'm a fan of their "Best Drink Ever" so any time they release a fun cold foam to go on top, I'm down. What else needs to be said about this San Diego coffee chain? They're great and they do coffee well!
Better Buzz Coffee Roasters in Tempe is an absolute vibe. The coffee is amazing, the espresso is top-tier, and the ambiance is super cute and welcoming. It’s the perfect spot whether you’re looking to study, get some work done, or enjoy a casual little coffee date. The space is warm, stylish, and inviting somewhere you actually want to sit and stay awhile. And let’s talk about the food… the chocolate protein açaí bowl is TO DIE FOR. Hands down one of my favorite menu items delicious, filling, and a great balance of flavor and nutrition. If you’re in Tempe and love great coffee with an even better atmosphere, Better Buzz is a must-stop. Highly recommend! ☕️✨🍫🍓
