Better Buzz Coffee La Jolla
909 Prospect St, La Jolla, CA
Crema's Take
“Better Buzz Coffee in La Jolla draws a devoted crowd with its welcoming vibe and creative drink options like their standout maple matcha, though the popularity comes with trade-offs like occasional longer waits and inconsistent execution on more complex items like açaí bowls. The shop strikes a nice balance between cozy indoor seating and breezy outdoor space, making it a charming spot to linger in the heart of La Jolla, even if it doesn't quite deliver beachfront proximity or consistently excellent coffee across their full menu.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Dog friendly.
