Crema's Take

This Pacific Beach gem has earned a devoted following for its genuinely warm staff and standout cinnamon cold brew that keeps locals coming back for more. The location strikes that perfect balance of being a fun, well-run independent spot with solid drinks and acai bowls, plus the bonus of a drive-thru for when you're grabbing coffee between beach days. Just know that their drinks skew on the sweeter side, so this is the place to indulge rather than seek out lighter fare.

I walked to this Better Buzz location a lot during our stay in the area, and it quickly became a favorite. Such a fun, well-run spot. The cinnamon cream cold brew is incredible and was my go-to. I also loved the miso salted caramel latte, which is unique and really well balanced. Coffee here is consistently great, and they have a solid food menu too with options like acai bowls, smoothies, and avocado toast. The space is bright, clean, and welcoming. There’s a drive-through for convenience and a rooftop seating area, which makes it a great place to hang out and enjoy the PB vibe. Service was excellent every time. The staff is genuinely nice, helpful, and makes the experience even better. Overall, a great coffee shop with awesome drinks, good food options, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely a must stop in Pacific Beach.

Whenever I'm in the PB area, Better Buzz on Grand is my go to coffee spot! This location has such a great vibe. Their drinks are always on point and acai bowls got the spot. Shoutout to Emily M. - she's an absolute gem! Super friendly, knowledgeable, and helped me pick the perfect drink when I was a bit overwhelmed with options. Highly recommend! 🚀

I generally like Better Buzz. But I do think their drinks are really sweet. If I come here, I would be treating myself. This location in Pacific Beach has a drive thru. It’s next to Taco Bell, but you can’t get there from the parking lot. I like that they have convenient online ordering. The matcha latte is just ok. I would stick to their coffee drinks. Bathroom is outside. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted.

Literally the best Better Buzz in San Diego! The staff is so nice and helpful and each unique personality makes the experience feel incredibly personal every time. I basically can’t go anywhere else for coffee now (^-^) Shout out to Skyler, Linnette, and Josh for making my day! You all rock!
