San Diego – Better Buzz, a popular coffee chain known for its specialty beverages, is set to open its 14th location in San Diego at 9878 Carmel Mountain Rd., Suite C in the Rancho Peñasquitos neighborhood. The new store will officially open its doors on Thursday, September 4, 2025, contributing to the city’s growing coffee culture.
The newest Better Buzz coffee shop will offer a variety of cold brews and specialty lattes, alongside a menu featuring delicious food options such as sandwiches, acai bowls, and avocado toast. To enhance customer convenience, the new location will also include a drive-thru. The store’s operating hours will be daily from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m., catering to early risers and those looking to grab a late afternoon snack.
The decision to plant roots in Rancho Peñasquitos aligns with Better Buzz’s vision of becoming a community gathering spot. The company aims to create a welcoming environment that not only serves high-quality coffee but also fosters connections among local residents. Recently appointed Vice President of Marketing highlighted the importance of building a space where the community can come together and enjoy exceptional coffee and food.
To celebrate the grand opening, an event will kick off at 5 a.m. offering free merchandise giveaways while supplies last. Guests attending the event will also be treated to an exclusive opening drink, the Banana Pudding Best Drink Ever, which will be available for the first 30 days. This innovative drink includes banana pudding cold cream and a vanilla wafer cookie, designed to delight patrons as they explore the new location.
In addition to the exclusive beverage, the menu will feature seasonal limited-time items that capture the flavors of fall. Items such as the Pumpkin Spice Latte and Turkey and Brie Croissant Sandwich are expected to attract customers looking for seasonal delights.
Better Buzz has become a significant player in the San Diego coffee scene since its inception as a craft coffee cart in 2002. With the addition of the Rancho Peñasquitos location, the chain will have a total of 25 locations across the San Diego region, including 11 established shops just outside the city. Recent openings in areas like Poway, Fashion Valley, and Vista have demonstrated the brand’s commitment to expanding its presence in Southern California and beyond.
Expanding outside of San Diego, Better Buzz has made notable strides into neighboring regions such as Orange County, Las Vegas, and even Arizona. Plans for continued growth are evident with a new store scheduled to open at the San Diego Airport later this year, highlighting the company’s ambition to reach even more customers.
As Better Buzz prepares to open its doors in Rancho Peñasquitos, the community can look forward to a new local hub for coffee, food, and connection, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to bringing people together around quality beverages and food while supporting local communities throughout the region.
