Better Buzz Coffee Pacific Beach West
1186 Garnet Ave, La Jolla, CA
Crema's Take
“This Pacific Beach gem shines brightest for its genuinely warm staff who treat regulars and first-timers alike with real kindness—reviewers rave about baristas like Josh and Keanu going above and beyond, even comping drinks when a card won't work. While the coffee itself lands as solid rather than extraordinary, the neighborhood vibe and consistently welcoming atmosphere make it the kind of place locals keep coming back to every single day.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

Definitely has a “chain coffee” feel. Mocha Latte was meh-ok. The Feta Avocado Deluxe Toast was ok… they put mayo on it which was not for me. The tomatoes would be better if they were dressed in a little evoo and balsamic. I added a hard boiled egg and ask for salt to put on it,…
First time visiting this location-great service, coffee was hot. I opted for the hazelnut divinity-large-hot. The hazelnut flavor was very light which for me was fine. The coffee was very hot- as coffee should be but use caution. This location was tucked away but had great curb…
