Everyone who leaves a one star goes "i've been coming here for years no issue". Which means to me that they're never the person to leave a 5 star when things go well. Those people shouldn't be allowed to have yelp because it's biased in my opinion lol but whatever. I always enjoy coming here, they're always so nice! I've never had my stuff made wrong, but even if I did I wouldn't be too bothered lol. There was one time, if I remember right ,someone came in and took all of the mobile order food, so I had to wait. Literally not a problem, not their fault, if anything it sucks they had to remake everything and probably deal with some unruly adult children about it. I always enjoy coming here! :) To all of the one stars, you get what you give. read more

Go see their amazing manager SHELLY at this Starbucks and tell her Steve's sister DANA said Hi!!! This is such a clean and cute Starbucks near Lake of the Pines. We love it here and they are right next to El Agave Mexican Restaurant z read more

It wasn't my first bad experience at this location but it was the worst. I just put other problems down to people make mistakes. Several tablespoons of grounds in my venti cup is ridiculous read more

Starbucks - Several tablespoons of grounds in my coffee. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Auburn, California

Counter service good but completion of ordered beverage VERY slow. Many people waiting for orders to be completed.

My drinks are always perfect and this is an ideal location on my way home. The staff are Auburn small town friendly. Nice ambiance to sit with friends and be cozy. read more

Just moved to the LOP area recently and really happy to see Starbucks . They're always friendly and do Good Work .

I wish Lake of The Pines actually had Black People. Because if it did, we would be friends and meet here so as to commute together thru the LOP gates and onwards to our canasta league. Maybe even find me a new BF in a refreshing, creamy mocha. With that triple extra shot and my my aren't you .... swole. Just kidding. Like Black People would even live in that Gated Purgatory of Mendacity and Unfashionable Patio Pant Sets. Ugh. And don't get me started on footware in a place that thinks Louboutin is something WalMart does to your truck whilst you stroll their Champs de Lazy Boy aisle. I'll still take a date tho so hook me up fool. The Icy Girl chick would be perfect. If her name was Kenneth. Or a shortened variant of same. Ok so back to our coffee and some lunch. We could chop it over lunch, maybe talk spinach... This is a pretty decent Starbucks; esp. so since it surprisingly is THE ONLY ONE IN ALL THE LAKE OF THE PINES. Can you imagine such a thing, Right? No wonder LOP is so savage and.....Architectural InDigestion like. It's not their fault. Let's send them some balloons with spring-like florals and prints. Help them get through the unfortunate tone on tone thing that last walked Fashion Week when yet only days existed. Rising above this tailoring tempest, the crew here really jam ons it and turns your order out snap snap chop skippy quickly. Sometimes the perky-poodleness is a bit....much...but one really doesn't ever go to Starbucks for group so no bigs it's a 38 second relationship of fleeting mutual platitudes not an engagement penis. One doesn't have to take it for long. Breakfast Sammy's are lit! Yum Yum Eat Them Up I Think I'm in Love. Drive thru almost always looks like a Disney Ride and not at the right end either. But again, the crew totally coffee-bangs and keeps 'em pointed out. Inside...eh, meh. Typical 'bucky but perhaps a bit on the small side or maybe it's just all the 67 year old dudes posted up at every damn table like some Pelican Bay prison gang ready to grab your sweet meat for walking by. Instead they just bitch about everything. Follow along AYOR. That's why I keeps myself to the drive-thru Son. Unless B-Legit is inside holding court. I'd be out the truck before it stopped rolling. TRY to describe his silky self without using the words 'Chicken Biscuit Daddy.' Simply cannot be done. Yeah, I said it. ALL of it. Like you really came here expecting puppies and Wednesday bible study material...puh'leeze. . I speak my mind. It is what it is and it was what it was. read more

Starbucks - Starbucks Back - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Auburn, California

See all

We all know what to expect at Starbucks. Average coffee, pleasant service and fairly clean bathrooms. I used to go to this location because it was on my commute and it was always as expected. I went back today after not being here for two years, but today I didn't get anything near average. I assumed I knew the ingredients in a pumpkin spice latte, but today, no pumpkin, no spice, no coffee. I think it might have been cardboard and warm milk. My warmed pastry wasn't and when I asked to have it re-warmed, the eye roll was audible. I mainly went so I could pick up my email, but now when you wish to use the wi-fi, they want your first name, last name, email address and phone number. Rather than give all that up, I used my cell hotspot. I am not going back. There are so many lovely local coffee spots, I just have to drive a bit further. read more

Jared & the rest of the team were running the show today! Busy drive thru and full lobby and these guys were working hard with a smile & determined atritude! Shame on the person who called out of their shift today. Keep up the good work, you guys! read more

05/12: update from awhile ago, tried going back to this place and everyone here moved so slow!!! Went inside and they are just in their own time. It's a wonder why they keep getting new people. No one inside ordering. Takes 15 minutes and On top of that, drink isn't even full. Horrible place. They only get a star because yelp makes you pick one. This place is horrible. The employees are slow and the manager lady is rude. It literally takes 20 minutes in the drive thru line for 1-3 cars tops. The wait is always so long and sometimes the coffee tastes burnt. I'm. It sure what's going on there but I would suggest going to the other auburn Starbucks instead. We frequent Starbucks daily and this is the only one we have a problem with. Poor management possibly?? More training? read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Auburn, California

I have been coming to this Starbucks for the last 2 1/2 years because it is the only one near my work. I have never experienced customer service as bad as this Starbucks anywhere. The employees aren't just unhelpful, they are consistently rude, inattentive and unprofessional. On several occasions I have had reward stars that I asked them to redeem but instead I have been charged for my drink. It's just a bad Starbucks. read more

This is by far the best Starbucks! I often travel throughout the Sacramento area and the Bay Area so I often visit Starbucks locations. This location has the quickest drive thru line, the best staff and always accurate drinks. read more

The coffee itself was mediocre but when I order with light ice I hardly expect the ice to be nearly to the top of the cup. Not only does this mean there is less to drink in the cup but the beverage is too cold for me to begin with. I was disappointed at the lack of attention to the light ice detail at this location. read more

Starbucks - Too much ice to be light ice - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Auburn, California

Sat in drive thru line for 15 min, got 2 Choc Mocas. Drive down the street and BOTH HAVE MINT IN THEM ??? Had drive back, go into store to get what we ordered ? Come on guys, be careful with drive thru customers to avoid all THIS HASSLE !!! read more

It takes a lot for me to write a review on something. I've been to a lot of horrible starbucks locations, because most of them are so poorly run. But man, does this one take the cake. Want to sit in your car for *literally * 25 minutes? Go through their drive-thru! Want to wait 15 minutes for an iced coffee? Go inside! There's usually 5 people standing around talking while you stare around the empty store, doing everything except making the coffee you paid for :) Have something in mind that you really, really want? There's a 99.9% chance they're out of it. It blows me away that they somehow screw up my unbelievably easy drink *every* time I've come in here. By the time I get it, I just leave and say screw it because I've likely already been waiting for 20 minutes and I'd rather not wait 20 minutes more for them to have to dump pre-made iced coffee over some ice. This is the panini that I paid for today. Basically just some bread with a piece of tomato and a piece of basil. The drink I brought home tastes awful. I genuinely don't understand how someone can mess up an unsweetened black iced coffee, but congratulations. This tastes like cleaning products. I feel like you have to try really hard to be this bad. Do us all a favor and close this place down. Calling it a disappointment is an understatement. read more

Starbucks - a person holding a hot dog in their hand - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Auburn, California

I went through the drive-thru and the employee in the window was chatting with what seemed to be a friend of hers in front of me, so I had to wait until their conversation was over to pull up and get my drink. The drink was ok. read more

ok. just walked into starbucks on my way to school and my drink was not even full... like what the heck?! i would have given it one star but at least it tastes good :) (i got a iced pumpkin spice latte with light ice) read more

Starbucks - my drink that i just got WITHOUT drinking it - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Auburn, California

I have to say this bbn is the best starbucks that I go to. I've been there hundreds of time and maybe had one drink not be amazing. They are very consistent and pretty quick for how bush they usually are. read more

It's very disheartening when a person spends their hard earned money on a drink and all they get is a couple sips. Seriously what's the point to this much ice? Plus there were no strawberries. Don't think I'll be returning to this location. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Auburn, California

Ordered an iced tea. Waited ten minutes during which time three people behind me got espresso drinks. I left empty handed and will not return to this location ever again. read more

This has to be the worst Starbucks I've ever been to every time I go Messed up food? It's premade all you have to do is read what I ordered and put it in but that seems to be too big a task. read more

My car broke down in the CVS parking lot. The Starbucks lobby was closed. Tried getting a coffee through the drive through and they declined me service. read more

So I'm on my way to work. I pull up at Starbucks on the corner of Combie Rd and the 49. Normally when I come here I go in. Today I wanted to try the drive through. So I pull in to the window cause it's 5:23am and no one is here yet only to see a mature woman with glasses giving me he stank eye through the window. After a few of those I determined they aren't open yet. Ok, no problem I understand. Here's my problem and why I'm giving this location one star. They are in the hospitality business. Why not be hospitable??? It's not that hard to just point at your watch and smile. The lady that gave me the look was at least in her 40's and should know better. As I age I'm growing less and less tolerant of this behavior. Being friendly and hospitable will bring people like me in the doors with my wallet open. I ended up waiting because it was early and I want my coffee. I decided to go in and was greeted by a very friendly young lady, who is undoubtedly a driver of business for this location. I'm grateful to her for being professional and friendly. I'm still giving this place one star because of my first impression though. read more

Absolutely the filthiest Starbucks I've ever been in. Counters, floors, tables, chairs, and bathroom; all covered with trash grime and slime . I counted 4 employees and two patrons, including myself. Grab a mop, grab a towel, grab a broom, and show some pride in where you work and what you do. Gross!! read more

I love Starbucks ... Got to tell you... They are so nice and they will make me a new drink if I drop it or if it gets messed up ... Also the staff knows me really well so that helps and I love getting their iced chai tea lattes ... They are do good !! read more

So it's very rare that I leave negative review. I'm not sure what happened to our local Starbucks. In the last year it's gone down hill fast. Used to be fast, convenient, & consistent. But lately, terribly slow and beverages are inconsistent. Today my daughter and I waited 20 minutes for two pastries & two coffees. No one in line ahead of us, not busy at all. Such a bummer!! Hopefully management can make some changes for the better. read more

This is by far my favorite Starbucks. Always courteous and always super quick. Comfortable atmosphere with plenty of seats. I feel lucky to have this Starbucks close to my home. read more

Awful place to have to go! They are rude, they NEVER get the drinks right and even when they do they taste awful. There's an older lady that works there, when I went for my coffee this morning the new girl forgot my drink, which is fine, I let the older lady know. She wasn't apologetic and at the end told me "I didn't have time to stir it" how freaking rude. Like that's fine but it's HOW to say it to the customer. I just paid $7 for coffee, I would appreciate a little politeness. I hate going into this Starbucks, to bad it's so close to where I live or I would go to Auburn for my coffee on my weekends. Avoid it if you can!! read more

This is the worst Starbucks I have ever been to. The espresso tastes like the water has been run through the same grounds more than once (it's almost burned). They never, ever get my order right. Sometimes I got milk in my latte when I ask for soy, sometimes I get regular chocolate when I ask for white chocolate. It almost seems like they just pick and choose what they are going to give you. I have been going to this Starbucks since July (because I got a job right down the street) and today is my last day. I will go out of my way to go to another coffee place. For the third day in a row, my food order was wrong. Since I went through the drive thru, I didn't notice until I got to work. read more

If it weren't for the staff of this particular store we wouldn't shop CVS at all. We used to live near here and had to use the pharmacy frequently. Plus it was the only decent store nearby for drugstore type items. We have moved and have had to use the local CVS on several occasions. Customer service at the closer CVS is terrible at best. We actually have our physician send our prescriptions and refills to the old CVS whenever possible because we prefer the staff that much. Use the CVS rewards card. It really makes a difference. read more

Really yummy! However, it took us 15 minutes to get in and out of there, so service was a little slow. My gingerbread loaf is really good and so is my mocha frappachino. Travis was also really friendly! read more

I have been to this starbucks many times, but I wont return again. Every time that I've came here I've received the worst service from the same employee, and when I called and made complaints about the service here I've never received an apology, instead whoever in charge blamed me for whatever went wrong... If you love being talked down and yelled at by the employees then I highly recommend this starbucks, if not I recommend driving a few minutes down the road to receive the service we, as paying customers, all deserve. read more

I hate this Starbucks! Every time I go there my drink or food order is wrong. My husband frequently will grab coffee for both of us and bring it home and my drink always tastes either watered down or way too strong and it's not just a 2 or 3 minute drive for me to go back and get it fixed so typically I just end up throwing my drink away. What a waste! The one time I was fed up and decided to drive all the way back, I was offered nothing not even an apology. Every time I go in the store there is employees just standing around doing nothing. You would think that with over staffed as this store is that they could at least get orders right. Very disappointed customer! read more

i come here 4 times a week and it's the only place that 8 times out of 10 have bday cake cake pops so i am NOT complaining.

It's been a while since I've been here and they still shout out my name to welcome me! My drink was perfect! Thanks Nancy, yum.

don't go here if you don't have to , worst location . always takes so long they were closed for a month and nobody knows why , this morning i was sitting in line and the girl was just chatting it up with the car in front of me , AND THEN they proceeded to give me the wrong sandwich . if it weren't for convenience i wouldn't come here at all . read more

Generally very friendly staff at drive thru! The drinks are consistent at this location. Line can be long and slow at times.

Usually stop by here on the way down to Sacramento or Auburn. Seems to get worse every time I go. Have previously gotten breakfast sandwiches that were still cold in the middle. This last time, I ordered a vanilla latte and my bf ordered a dirty chai, and our drinks tasted the same--watered down coffee with no flavor. Will just have to stop by a different location instead. read more

Going to Starbucks daily, this store needs help and I wish Starbucks management would listen... I generally drink my coffee there while working and they have a nasty fly problem, and when I bring it up to the manager she told me that Starbucks headquarters won't allow them to treat for the issue... so it is OK for the flies to land on on the breakfast foods and lay their larva??? How gross!!!! Not to mention the dirtiest bathrooms of all Starbucks I have been into including in SF!!! read more

By far my favorite starbucks. Staff is super friendly and they seem to always make my drink right.
