### 2/5 — Dissatisfied

*2026-08-09, version 2.0*

Visited the location in apple valley ca, asked if I could have a certain flavor in a buzz, first, the employee outside didn’t even want to check which was a negative then the employee at the window said they don’t give that option. Drink was satisfactory but, I’ll pass. I want what I want if I’m paying. That fact that other coffee places like Dutch bros/six beans/starbucks, etc, offer options and this place refuses, is ridiculous and disappointing. So over this place. Not going back. I’ll stick to the others or make my own, Thumbs down.

### 2/5 — Wafer or not

*2026-07-30, version 2.0*

I ordered the Banana Pudding BDE  but it didn’t come with a wafer. 2nd time this has happened at this location. Drive thru is sloooooooow.

### 4/5 — IB

*2026-07-22, version 2.0*

Easy drive though, not too busy at 6:30 AM, didn't ask me for my phone number for my points, didn't put creamer in my coffee as requested

### 5/5 — First time

*2026-07-18, version 2.0*

My first time at better Buzz, I’m gonna go down the line and drink every coffee to see which one I like the best cause I can’t make up my mind. Great service quick.

### 5/5 — Returning for seconds

*2026-07-16, version 2.0*

This is the second time I tried Better Buzz. There’s good reason for that, I like it better than SB’s.!

### 3/5 — Menu

*2026-07-10, version 2.0*

You can’t look at the menu unless you’re ordering and if they are closed you can’t schedule ahead so you can’t see the menu unless it’s business hours

### 4/5 — This place is great, the app is ok

*2026-07-02, version 2.0*

Everything else about Better Buzz has been great, the food and drinks are consistently good, and the staff is always friendly and helpful.

The only area that could use improvement is the app. I had trouble redeeming rewards, and instead of simply scanning a barcode, the staff had to manually enter my reward code or phone number, which feels less efficient than it could be.

I also found the app a bit difficult to navigate. For example, it wasn’t easy to select decaf options, and I couldn’t find an add-on for sweet cream. It feels like the app could benefit from a more thorough usability review before new features are released. Improving the user experience would make ordering much smoother and better match the quality of the in-store experience.

### 5/5 — Great Place and Experience!

I was greeted immediately and handed a free cup, and some stickers which I love I ordered myself a caramel vanilla, hot, cold brew, and a Carnitas breakfast tacos that were to die for. our local JC Fernandez was here in his Bee suit. Super nice guy.

### 1/5 — Unable to cancel order within seconds…

*2026-08-22, version 2.1*

I placed an order and realized after getting a text that I chose the wrong location. There’s no cancellation button even within 5 seconds??? I tried calling the store too and it goes straight to voicemail. Useless.

### 1/5 — Points.

*2026-08-07, version 2.0*

I've already made 4 purchases and tried to scan them to receive my points, but the app didn't accept them because it said they're too old. That's absurd! I've almost spent $60.00 and I'm not going to get my points.

### 1/5 — Chai tea bummer

*2026-07-26, version 2.0*

I went for the first time today to better buzz and my chai tea did not taste like chai tea it tasted like milk tea. Very disappointing:(

### 1/5 — Edit order

*2026-07-15, version 2.0*

Very difficult to edit my order on the app

### 1/5 — App is buggy

*2026-07-13, version 2.0*

The app doesn’t allow payment methods to be input and doesn’t build points the way it is supposed to. No response from support/help features. App is buggy.

### 1/5 — First time

*2026-06-25, version 2.0*

First time here and went through the drive thru. The speaker or the person couldn’t hear me correctly. Had to repeat multiple times and got to the window and the order was still wrong. I downloaded the app for the first time and when I went to scan for past purchase to get my points, I had to go back into the store and ask for the QR code receipt. Not a good first impression.

### 1/5 — Gift cards

*2026-05-14, version 1.9*

my app said that I had a $10 credit and a $5 dollar credit, when I tried to use them. It said I only had three dollars and some cents.

### 1/5 — Avocado toast used to be banging, not so much any more (SO LITTLE  AVOCADO)

*2026-04-12, version 1.9*

My dark roast no room, well lots of room,

### 1/5 — App only

*2026-02-01, version 1.9*

I love Better Buzz but y’all make way too much money for your app to suck as bad as it does.

### 1/5 — Didn’t receive my free drink

*2025-12-17, version 1.9*

I joined and they sent me a notification about and when I clicked on it it disappeared and very disappointed

### 5/5 — Better Buzz IS better coffee

*2026-07-31, version 2.0*

My mind is blown how delicious Better Buzz coffee is. I ordered the Snickerdoodle latte and the flavor did not disappoint! It’s perfectly sweet with the perfect taste of a snickerdoodle cookie. The atmosphere is inviting and gets you hyped up for the day. The line at the drive through is long but goes pretty fast…..the line itself should tell you how fantastic this place is!

### 5/5 — very good service

*2026-07-27, version 2.0*

I always go to better buzz and they never miss with my orders. I’ve never had a bad experience here at all and the matcha is so good here. I lost my card once and they were still nice enough for me to give me the drinks with no charge, I felt so bad but it made my day.

### 5/5 — Welcome

*2026-07-24, version 2.0*

I am so excited that Better Buzz has come to the High Desert!  💕

### 5/5 — Killer Bee

*2026-07-19, version 2.0*

They have put Starbucks to shame.
