Better Buzz Coffee Costa Mesa
2701 Harbor Blvd Ste D1, Costa Mesa, CA
Crema's Take
“This independent Costa Mesa gem wins people over with genuinely exceptional baristas like Alexa and Grace who treat every customer like a friend, creating an energy that's just as memorable as the coffee itself. They nail both classic espresso drinks and creative specials like lavender matcha lattes, while their made-to-order breakfast sandwiches on brioche prove they're committed to quality ingredients across the board. It's the kind of place where you feel the care in every detail, from the speed of service to the cleanliness of the space, making it easy to see why regulars keep coming back.”

I mean WOW! My first time here and I’m blown away! Sal and Alexa were soo welcoming I was so tired and needed a pick-me-up before working on my client. And wanted to treat my client to a coffee. She said she wanted something like a caramel macchiato and they made something much more better. I also was recommended their Best Drink Ever and it taste amazing!! Since the service was so good I went ahead and tried their yummy Acai Bowl which is just what I needed. Saving the rest for later. Thank you guys so much! Highly recommend and will definitely be back!
Alexa and Grace are hands-down the best baristas at Better Buzz. Every time I stop by, they make the experience better — not just because the drinks are always on point, but because of their energy and attitude. They’re friendly, welcoming, and genuinely care about making your day better. They remember orders, work fast without ever feeling rushed, and always greet customers with a smile. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows in both the quality of the drinks and the atmosphere they create. Better Buzz is lucky to have them — they’re a big reason I keep coming back.
My first time here; ordered the lavender matcha latte, lavender latte with coconut milk and the Better Breakfast sandwich on brioche bun, cage free egg, bacon, arugula, cheese, aioli and I added avocado for $2. All the drinks were worth the price. The sandwich was amazing, however my preference would be whole Avocado vs mashed.
One of my favorite coffee spots! Drinks are made perfectly every time, and the quality really stands out. I appreciate the fresh ingredients and the attention to detail in each cup. The shop is clean, welcoming, and has a great vibe. It’s an easy place to relax or recharge during the day.
Fantastic coffee and excellent service. You can tell they care about quality—from the taste of the drinks to how welcoming the baristas are. Orders come out fast, and everything I’ve tried has been delicious. This is a go-to spot whenever I need a reliable, feel-good coffee break ☕
