DEL MAR — Camino Del Mar is buzzing with energy after the opening of Better Buzz Coffee Roasters this past weekend in one of downtown Del Mar’s prime commercial spots.
Previously a Starbucks location, the storefront and courtyard at 1435 Camino Del Mar Suite C has been a popular gathering spot in downtown Del Mar for many years.
Better Buzz, a San Diego-based chain, officially opened its 25th coffee shop at the site on Oct. 25.
Better Buzz representatives said the Del Mar community has been very welcoming and that many people connect to the coffee company due to its local roots.
“We’ve received great feedback for what we’ve done with the space,” said Peter Santos, North County district manager for Better Buzz.
Better Buzz has expanded widely into North County in the past year, with new locations in Oceanside and Carlsbad and shops in Encinitas, Escondido, San Marcos, and La Jolla.
Santos said the company is eyeing a new location in Vista and possibly a second location in Oceanside.
“We have a few plans,” he said.
Better Buzz offers handcrafted coffee and tea drinks, as well as food items such as breakfast sandwiches, avocado toasts, acai bowls and pastries. Each menu varies slightly depending on the location.
The Del Mar location is open daily from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., and customers can also order ahead or order delivery. For more information, visit betterbuzzcoffee.com.
