Curator’s note

Tim Langdon and Stephanie Garden started Better Buzz as college students in 2002 with a coffee cart in a business park, and in its first two decades it grew to twelve stores across San Diego, Los Angeles and Orange County. Between 2022 and 2024 the company doubled to 24 and crossed into Arizona and Nevada.

The Coffee

The espresso is a single origin, the Killer Bee is coffee with a shot of espresso in it, and the horchata latte runs on a sweetened cinnamon rice milk made in house, with the cold brew on tap plain, under cinnamon cream or on nitro. The Costa Rica Santa Elena on the shelf is a honey process from a woman-owned and operated farm in the highlands.

The Vibe

Coffee Shop Experts and the Alexis Karpetsky Workshop shaped these 1,350 square feet toward the harbor and the naval station nearby, working blue accents through a room that keeps the company's signature branding otherwise intact. The seating is custom and built in, and it carries on outside, which on the harbor side of the city is the better half of the room.
