Better Buzz Coffee

Better Buzz Coffee Roasters is a San Diego-based coffee company that has experienced significant growth since its inception in 2002. Founded by two college students as a four-wheel coffee cart, the brand has expanded to 24 locations across California and Arizona.

The company plans to double its store count to 48 over the next year. It emphasizes freshness by roasting and delivering coffee weekly to its cafes.

Certified as an organic roaster by the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), Better Buzz prioritizes sourcing Fair Trade and Rainforest Alliance coffees.

Each location offers a range of handcrafted beverages, made-to-order food items, and fresh pastries. Popular offerings include the Horchata Iced Latte and the "Best Drink Ever."

In 2024, Better Buzz opened three new locations:

• Laguna Hills
• Oceanside (its 19th San Diego location)

Looking forward, the company plans to open 12 new locations, including:
