As a working student, having spots like these really feel as though they have me in mind, ensuring that I can get my job done comfortably and without any hitches. HOSPITALITY: The workers are always nice and smiling, and ensures that me, as a customer, is heard and accomodated. FOOD/BEVERAGES: This specialty coffee shop provides a lot of options to choose from, and I have absolutely loved all of them! I frequent this place, so I have been able to try out all that they offer, and I have not had any problems or complaints whatsoever. My favorite drink that they have is their Olive Grove! It's a shaken espresso drink that is lightly emulsified with honey and olive oil, which brings out their espresso's caramel and toffee notes. To me, it's an impressively good and balanced drink, especially with the sweet and rich oat milk they top it off with. If you're feeling adventurous, I believe that the Olive Grove is the way to go. Overall, I would say that this is an easy 10/10 for me! Would definitely recommend to anyone who's looking for coffee shops to frequent or to check out.

This location is on the smaller side, but is cozy and a good place to meet with a friend or two or get some work done. The staff is always friendly and they're pretty quick. On my last visit the drinks came out so quick. Parking can be hard when the plaza is busy- on my recent visit I parked further down the plaza and walked over.

I almost decided to not order anything since I felt full from ramen but with reasonable prices and the opportunity to try a new yogurt-based boba drink (I haven't seen many of them in Sac), I thought why not. 25% sugar is the move for Strawberry Blizz ($6.75). It's a strawberry blend with a wonderful conglomeration of flavors between the smoothness of the strawberries, harder textured apples/mangoes, and honey aftertaste of the boba. I didn't sample the milk or fruit teas but I highly recommend giving the yogurt blizz drinks a try instead.

Secondly, I asked for half sweet and their drinks are over sweet. I realky like their ube cloud foam. I like the vibe of the location and love that it is clean.

My avocado toast while not super pricey was pretty underwhelming. Granted, it was to-go, but the bread was average, and maybe not as quite toasted as it should have been.

The coffee was solid and they sell an array of breakfast and lunch eats. Not a ton of morning pastries to choose from. Overall, solid, but as a visitor from the Bay, I wasn't as impressed.

I never go to Starbucks on my own, but I'm always in when a friend wants to go. We had just left…read morethe Elk Grove Regional Park and after a cold stay there for a fun festival my husband was looking for something hot to drink. We looked in the shopping center to the right, but no cafes popped out for us. It's always a good idea to shop local, but when you're in need of a hot drink you'll go where you have to and today it's Starbucks. My husband is a loyal customer to Starbucks and goes at least twice a month to pick up breakfast for his mom when he visits her. It's quick and convenient and she loves their oatmeal. And you can't say no to Mom when she loves something so healthy for her. Today's trip to Starbucks was tough as there was a lot of traffic. You aren't crossing at a protected area, you're risking your life crossing two lanes of busy traffic. Starbucks is located to the North of the On and off ramps for highway 99 right off of Elk Grove Blvd. In the cove is located a quick quack car wash and a Burger King, I think it's a Burger King, but don't quote me, there is also a large gas station there. Getting out of the parking lot is just as tough. There is a lot of traffic coming out of the Quick Quack car wash, but people were nice and they let us exit which was a blessing. Good thing we were making a right hand turn on to the 99 North so we didn't have to cut across any traffic. Starbucks has a good size parking lot. You have to cut through the gas station to get there so it's a little tricky. They also have 2 drive through lanes, but one lane was blocked today. Inside it's really pleasant. So much more quite then the experience arriving there. It's so calm and realizing inside and they have plenty of seating available. Near the wall there is a padded bench the length of the Starbucks and there are tables and chairs for your guests. They also have additional stand alone tables. They have 2 unisex bathrooms and a had washing station that has the soap, water, drier all connected. Kind of cool and new wave. We had a real pleasant time. My husband ordered an Earl Grey Tea and a new blonde brownie with raspberry swirl on it. I think the blonde had butterscotch chips in it, but they couldn't verify when I asked. I doubt it was nuts. I really enjoyed the Blonde, it wasn't overly sweet and the raspberry was a nice sweet touch. The Earl Grey Tea came out really hot and strong. They use 2 tea bags and it came in a double cup. He likes the double cut as he can pour some to drink in one while keeping the other half with the lid on to keep it hot. I'm glad we made the stop and he was able to warm up, but due to the traffic I'd pick a different Starbucks to go to the in the future. We did make it in and out ok, but it was a bit nerve wracking.

I also really appreciate that you can customize your drink, especially since I can't have dairy. There are so many great nondairy options, and my drinks always come out perfect. When my son is good, I'll treat him to a cake pop, and now every time I pick him up from school he asks, "Can we go to Starbucks?" Sir... you're in kinder let's not make this a habit already! Starbucks is definitely addicting because it's just that good. This location is right off 99 near E. Stockton, and it can be a little tricky to get to because of the traffic, but it's never too crowded when I go and the service is always smooth. Great spot for a quick treat for yourself (and your kid too).

There's a nice indoor area with tables and a couch, real plant vines hang from the ceiling. Through the many clean windows, EG Blvd. can be clearly viewed. There's a courtyard area on either side of the establishment that's well maintained with trimmed trees. There's space between the tables and it doesn't feel so crammed. Soft coffeeshop study music is playing in the background. The workers were friendly and the coffee came out fast even with a line but the sandwiches took over 20 minutes to come out. The coffee and food were at market prices; the sandwiches are larger than normal and easily shareable. Parking was easy thanks to the parking lot next door. The coffee was well balanced with many milk alternatives available and not overly sweet brown sugar or vanilla add-ons. The Turkey Panini was savory, the red bell peppers gave it a kick, and the bread was toasty. The Bacon (turkey) Breakfast sandwich was fluffy and It's refreshing to see this type of vibe in EG.

There's plenty of seatings inside and outside + lots of parking spaces. The cafe is super cute and they even have couches!

Having to sit in a drive-thru for 20+ minutes for a drink is absolutely stupid. This happened on numerous occasions too. I only go to this particular establishment because it's on my way to work. But I'm done. I'll be taking my business elsewhere and I'll be telling all my friends and family to avoid this place, like the plague. My suggestion? Have your employees stop jaw-jacking with their friends who happen to be customers at the moment. I've personally seen (on several occasions) employees leaning out of the window, having long conversations while they laugh and share whatever it is on their phones. All while there are 4 or more cars waiting in line. Don't get me wrong, there are a few employees there that do a good job, but MOST don't. Hire responsible, courteous, and MATURE minded employees, and you won't have these types of reviews. Oh, and IF, I happen to go back and see this kind of service again. I'll be sure to take a photo/video and repost it. But that's a big "IF".
