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.

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!
