Better Buzz Coffee

AO has partnered with Better Buzz Coffee on more than a dozen locations throughout Southern California, delivering a consistent, high-impact brand experience across urban, suburban, and coastal markets. The team developed a repeatable yet flexible prototype that supports Better Buzz’s fast-casual operating model while preserving the warmth, craft, and personality that define the brand. Each site is carefully adapted to its context, optimizing drive-thru flow, kitchen efficiency, and customer experience within tight footprints and complex zoning environments. This depth of experience allows projects to move efficiently through approvals, control costs, and deliver high-performing cafés that open quickly, operate smoothly, and remain unmistakably Better Buzz.
