Reviews For Better Buzz Coffee - Tempe

Came here on a friend's recommendation. Had the Mocha de Mexico and it was pretty good. I want to try the Moroccan iced coffee but that's for another day. Staff were friendly and suggested the app to get a free drink on the next visit and points for future coffee (I'm a sucker for free stuff). Having issues signing up for the app but we'll see, I guess. The atmosphere is a bit much for me... Lots of bright so not as chill as I prefer but it was clean and they have a great patio space. In the words of Arnold, I'll be back.

Best lavender tea latte I have ever had! The staff were welcoming and friendly, especially Katie, who answered all my questions before I settled on the lavender tea latte. She was professional but still joked around with the staff. Seems like a good team. Such a fun vibe. Came back the next day for coffees and a perfect croissant! So much better than Starbucks!

Love this spot! The drinks are always on point, and the team here is consistently kind, fast, and hardworking. You can tell they care about what they do. Makes a big difference — always a good vibe when I stop in!

Had a great time at the grand opening. Waited in the drive thru and got a free hat and cup since I was one of the first 200 people. They also handed out stickers. Shoutout to the guy at the window who gave me a free pin, he was extremely kind!! I tried the iced lavender tea latte and the iced Moroccan spice latte. I like the lavender one better, it’s sweet but not too sweet and I can really taste the lavender flavoring. Make sure to shake/swirl the Moroccan spice before trying it because I didn’t like the flavor on the initial sip but after I mixed it up, it tasted better. I wished I could taste a bit more spice or sweetener in that drink though since it’s one of their handcrafted beverages. The Bacon Ciabatta sandwich is amazing and probably my favorite item I got today. I’d say pricing on all items is pretty standard and comparable to other coffee shops. I had a good experience today and all the employees were nice. I’d love to come back and try more things on the menu, especially the pastries (which aren’t mentioned on the website fyi), but they have a lotttt of different pastries available that sound delicious. Sadly I couldn’t go inside today but I would love to try the cafe experience next time too.

Congratulations to Better Buzz on their grand opening day in Tempe!! I don’t normally show up to a new place on day one, but I’ve been secretly waiting for them to open closer to home, so I don’t have to drive all the way to North Phoenix! Also, what better way to celebrate my birthday with a delicious breakfast? I ordered their iced pumpkin spice latte and had my pistachio croissant warmed up. The level of sweetness of both were just right. Be sure to check out their bakery shelf - so many yummy treats!!! For about an hour in the dining area, I saw every single customer greeted in unison by the team (think of when you showed up at a Japanese restaurant and the servers and chefs all yelled out “Irasshaimase!!”), it’s so cool!! I was so tempted to get their merch, but I’m glad that I showed up early enough as they were giving out the hat, hot drink cup, and stickers to thank their customers. Lastly, I would highly recommend downloading the app before showing up, so you can earned points right away!

First time trying Better Buzz Coffee! The atmosphere is light and welcoming. Lots of fun decor to go with the Bee theme! Staff was very welcoming to answer all of our questions about the menu and it all was flavorful and quite delicious! Will definitely be coming back for more Sunday brunch’s/ Coffee hangouts.

I bought the large Moroccan spice iced coffee and muffin, cinnamon coffee cake style, both are very good. The coffee is better for people who like the stronger coffee taste with some cream and sweetness. The young lady who took my order was very nice and helpful.

What a great addition to the Phoenix area coffee scene! I had the horchata iced latte and it was sublime. The staff was fast and friendly. The outdoor seating is inviting. The menu had a very wide selection of pastry and drinks. The parking lot is a bit of a maze and the cafe is loud. Just a heads up.
