Better Buzz Coffee Food Court
7007 Friars Rd, San Diego, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Fashion Valley Mall's food court, this Better Buzz location punches above its weight with a genuinely warm team that makes each order feel personal—their snickerdoodle lattes and expertly balanced matcha lattes are worth the visit alone. The upstairs location moves faster than their downstairs counterpart, making it a perfect spot to meet up with friends or bring your dog while sipping on thoughtfully crafted specialty drinks in a surprisingly welcoming atmosphere for a mall setting.”

Overall experience at the new Better Buzz in the food court was good! Great service and good vibes when you walk in. The line went by much faster in comparison to their downstairs location. I gave a 3 star for food not cause the food wasn’t good, but I’m surprised they share the same food menu as their original location Would like to see some different food options, but I’d still walk to the food court for Better Buzz. Lina helped me out and she was the sweetest!
Great Team! Had the best snickerdoodle latte ever!! With warm welcoming atmosphere. You can really tell the team is well managed with how engaged and caring about each customer. 10/10 definitely recommend going to the food court location.
I absolutely love stopping by the Better Buzz Coffee in the Fashion Valley Mall food court! From the moment you walk up, you’re greeted by such a friendly, welcoming staff who genuinely care about your experience. The atmosphere is warm and positive, even in the middle of a busy mall, and it always feels like a bright spot in my day. The drinks are consistently delicious, and their açaí bowls are fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made every time. You can really tell this location is well-managed—the team works efficiently while still being kind, upbeat, and attentive. It’s clear there’s a lot of pride put into what they do. Highly recommend stopping here for great coffee, amazing bowls, and outstanding service!
Angie and her team were helpful. it was a busy thursday night but they killed it. sofia took my order and she was lovely, angelina made my drink to perfection. love that this company is expanding!
I ordered a matcha latte here and it was excellent. Super smooth, perfectly balanced, and not too sweet. You can really taste the quality of the matcha. Definitely one of the better ones I’ve had, and I’ll be coming back for it again.
