The company prides itself on roasting its own organic, fair trade, and rainforest-certified coffee weekly, ensuring the freshest and most ethical coffee products for its customers. More than just a coffee shop or roaster, Better Buzz embodies a vibrant lifestyle centered around connection through coffee, authenticity, and positive energy.

Better Buzz emphasizes creating experiences that go beyond just serving beverages, focusing on delivering moments that brighten people’s days and foster inclusivity and a sense of belonging.

Baristas earn a competitive base pay of $17.00 per hour, with tips averaging an additional $4.00 per hour, depending on location and service quality. The role requires availability for at least 22 hours per week, including nights, weekends, and holidays, reflecting the company’s commitment to meeting customer needs at all times. Better Buzz offers comprehensive training through a certified Training Ambassador and clear pathways for career growth within the organization.
