Better Buzz Coffee Carlsbad
3016 Carlsbad Blvd, Solana Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“Better Buzz captures that coveted beachy California coffee shop energy with genuinely friendly staff and a lively vibe that keeps customers coming back, whether they're locals or tourists wandering over from the nearby beach. The baristas clearly know their craft and take pride in their recommendations—think caramel vanilla lattes and creative maple matcha drinks—while the croissants and breakfast offerings round out an experience that feels way more curated than your typical chain. It's the kind of place where the music, the crowd, and the care behind each order make you actually want to linger.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

Stopped here while on vacation and got the caramel vanilla latte which the barista said was her favorite. So good and such a cute location! Close enough to walk to the beach. I’m hoping I can stop by again before we leave!
Nice coffee shop a couple blocks from our hotel. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant and a pink dragon smoothie. You order at the counter then you stand nearby until your order is ready. This isn’t a good process because you’re stuck standing there until your food is ready.…
Just a Starbucks wanabe with just slightly better coffee than starbucks. If you are into and appreciate fine coffee don't come here. Pick one of the other excellent coffee shops in Carlsbad. Poorly trained barista gave me what was supposed to be a cappuccino just airy milk on…
Love Better Buzz in the Village! Ignacio was super friendly and even made me an exclusive maple matcha that was delicious. The coffee is always great and the breakfast hits the spot. Definitely one of my go-to places!
