I asked for easy ice, not easy flavor, but that's exactly what I got here. I ordered the same thing I order at every Starbucks: A trenta Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher with light ice -and regular water (if I'm ordering on mobile). Checking my order on the app, that's exactly what I ordered, and I know that because my order is saved and also, I double checked after I got my drink. I was under the impression that whatever you send in on a mobile order is exactly what prints out on the sticker on the cup- there's no editing it on the baristas end. I was surprised when I got to Starbucks to see that my drink was almost clear. Every time I've gotten this drink it's pink, almost red. On the sticker it said add water? So I'm not sure if that meant they added extra water? But this drink had barely any flavor! It was water with berries in it. I have no idea what happened, this is probably one of the easiest drinks to make and they managed to mess it up, or just water it down completely. read more

Starbucks is my go to. I go to a lot of them. This location is not a well oiled machine. Management needs to step up. Gossiping and being on your phone or walking around is more important than giving customers service here. Had to get to work and wait 13 minutes for a drink. The place was dead too... will never be going to this location again. I am not one to complain on Yelp but wow this made me pissed especially since they could give a care less. read more

This location has a small town feel compared to others. I use to always enjoy visiting and picking up mobile orders from this location. However, my score is solemnly based on their terrible customer service today. The cashier was unprofessional and unfriendly. During our visit, she was got aggressive with my husband, wouldn't offer any suggestions for low sugar drinks, and was so unpleasant that we left. Their employees definitely need more customer service training. And apparently my review isn't the only one about their terrible customer service. read more

Yay! I'm a fan. Of this particular Starbucks that is. Plain and simple: customer service. Been here a few times and each time, I've experience service that's genuinely friendly and personal. In fact, each time, the staff knew patrons in line and were engaged in conversation on a personal, but professional level. If I came in regularly, I'm guessing that they'd know me and my name too. This Starbucks is smaller than most I've been to but I like their location as it's right off the freeway (57) and it's easy on and easy off when I'm on the road as was the case yesterday morning. read more

Accidentally found this Starbucks while driving in the plaza to go to Total Wine. I was actually looking for Starbucks nearby because I found more than five within a mile but oddly, I couldnt find any. Then here I come to go to Total Wine and found it. This particular statbucks is pretty small. But they do have everything you need. Actually quite many tables and chairs to study if you are staying here for awhile AND also restroom. I placed a mobile order just because I received an email saying that I can get an extra star if I do so. My drink was ready less than 2 minutes. Though the Barista who made my drink clearly didnt get my order when it has a sticker saying Iced Green Tea with Light Ice. She first said it was iced passion tea then iced green tea lemonadr and said iced green tea. I asked for light ice but she did not accomodate that either. However, the guy working at the register was very polite and nice. I askes to get a refill later and he said something about not being sure about policy on giving refills on mobile orders but he still got it for me. Overall, it was one of the good Starbucks I have gone to. read more

Walked here with a friend on her birthday. She lives nearby and we both needed caffeine after our long day and her birthday party later that night. This is a tiny location with a few indoor/outdoor seating spots. Service is fast and friendly. I got my chai extra hot and it did not disappoint. It wasn't exactly memorable either. At least it wasn't foamy. My friend swears by their Americano. Maybe I'll actually get that someday. Most days I just really want a chai. Either way, you can't stay here long. It's just a place to grab your coffee and go. read more

Horrible Customer Service. I was the only one there picking up an order. A hi would be nice or a thank you. The fact I have to say "Have a good day." Smh. read more

Tired of St College Starbucks? This is the go to place for CSUF and SCCO. - Want to avoid your classmates? Not here! - I used to be a frequent visitor here when Borders was still around (now DSW). Study at Borders. Take a break. Study here at Starbucks. - Always nice about water refills. - Tiny Starbucks. Come early to snag a spot inside. Studying for 2 is perfect. 3-4 maybe a crowd. - You can always chill outside. - Tired of Starbucks. Walk across to Panera! So many options at this plaza. - No problem with Wi-Fi - Lots of outlets for those PC/Mac studiers. read more

Starbucks - Blueberry muffin with big muffin top - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brea, California

Super tiny Starbucks that closes remarkably early (I think 9pm during the holiday season?!), boo! The drinks are rarely filled to the top and the employees are kinda unfriendly (although it's hit or miss, depending on which mood you catch 'em in). The baristas also make the drinks just ok...and again, since they fill them waaaay under the top of the cup (more than other Starbucks), one would at least hope the quality of the drink surpasses other locations. Sadly, it does not! Also, as many others stated, this location is remarkably small - there's literally only 4 or 5 little tables inside the restaurant, as well as one bench with two makeshift booths in the corner (but they're always occupied- even at 7am in the morning). It can feel a bit cramped and claustrophobic, especially if you go during rush hours (i.e. anytime before 8am). On the bright side, you can get in and out fairly quickly. Because the location is rather small, it seems like the baristas try to rush to ensure everyone's drink gets made relatively fast. Even on the busiest of mornings, I've still only has to wait about 10 minutes, which still wasn't too bad. In addition, they have a nice and cozy outdoor patio right outside, which I've had many a meet-up at :) Back when I was planning my wedding, I also met some of my vendors here, as the plaza this Starbucks is located in is really easy to find! It's right off the freeway and has a bunch of huge stores/restaurants in the plaza (DSW, Mother's Market, Lucille's), so I would definitely recommend this location if you're looking for a quick place to meet up or hang out at! :) read more

WHY IS IT SO COLD IN HERE?! I THOUGHT it was was cool and chilly outside, but then I came in here and now I feel like it's a warm summer day outside. I just don't understand WHY. Is anyone enjoying this? Maybe. Probably. But I'm not one of them, and I'm clearly frustrated by that. Anyway, great service, clean place, friendly baristas. I'll come back on a hot day. Update: Also, WHY IS THE MUSIC SO LOUD?? It's literally like EDC in here. My theory is they're trying to freeze and noise customers out once they get their drink. Hmm. Now I'm just determined to not give them what they want... I will win this fight! read more

Always great and never late. I can't complain. I get my fix here everyday and they are always quick and perfect with my order. The staff here is as expected, professional and courteous and always smiling which starts off everyone's day greatly. I always use the app to order so when I get there I just go straight to the pickup line and I'm out in less than 30 seconds. Technology is amazing. Their app really is ahead of the curve and it is quick and convenient. The place is always clean and spotless as well and very tidy. Kudos to them on running such an efficient business and to the manager of this brAnch and its team on such a good job. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brea, California

This place only takes mobile orders. Ridiculous. Drove here for nothing wouldnt come back.

Lady with glasses was VERY rude .. bad customer service . I don't understand why people work in customer service if they hate it. Get another job then read more

We've been going to this Starbucks for over 10 years, we've had nothing but good experiences from all the barista's. Josh is one of the THE most respectful, customer service oriented employees they have, it's always a pleasure talking with him, he always gets our drinks right and fast! Thanks for all you do for us Josh! We appreciate you more than you know! read more

Spent 60 bucks with 3 families and they wouldn't let us use the restroom. Also turned away another family, as I left. This lady decided to close it all down early! Picture taken at 8:24pm read more

This Starbucks always smells funny -- a damp, dank odor like it needs to be aired out. Still has great beverages and pastries. Just try to get in and out as quickly as possible to avoid the odd odor Seems like this could be a simple ventilation fix? read more

Small Starbucks. It kind of gets hidden, even in daylight. Sensational customer service! The beverages left a little something to be desired; my iced caramel macchiato w/soy tasted a bit odd, not like the usual ones I get from other locations and my husband said his caramel frapp wasn't sweet enough. We still finished them though. It's been a couple of months since I last had Starbucks, so this was an impulsive walk through. The staff here made coming in on a Saturday afternoon feel nice and we must have missed the crowds. With 90 degree weather in November, an iced drink is a serious must! read more

I been to Starbucks here it's good store but it was small actually the coworkers are good but the store are small and have only one restroom so what it's not very good Starbucks espically I speak like another language when i talk to phone I see like people look at me feel me like wired I just don't like the store and coworkers are not like fun people and friendly read more

Amazing, loving, staff with the sole purpose of making your stay there perfect each and every time! I love them all, and this store will always be my go-to whenever I'm in town! If you're around often enough, they even have a customer of the week board, where they write amazing stuff that nobody would think they remembered! They know everyone by name, and are always super speedy and friendly. It's a pretty busy store sometimes so it can get a little crowded. All in all, 10/10! read more

After my work and long drive from freeway i always stop by here to buy ice or cafe americano

Every time I walk into this location, I am greeted by the happiest, most friendly employees. Even during these shitty times, they all keep a smile on their faces and you can tell it is genuine. I began to make this my go to Starbucks because I always leave there with a positive attitude and smile on my face. This location needs to be the model for all Starbucks locations. Thank you to all the staff and keep doing what you're doing. You all are amazing! read more

Every time I come to this location they are always short of supplies. Out of forks; stoppers; honey; napkins; etc. What's worse is they don't tell you they are out of something until you finish ordering. Really? For a location that seems to be always busy they should plan better to make sure they don't run out of something or at least tell us before we set our minds into ordering. read more

It's Starbucks, so no surprise on the menu. I'm knocking the rating down because of the miserable parking situation, unless you are there for your morning coffee. A late afternoon or evening coffee will be tough to get unless you walk to the shopping center. The restaurant is small, so there is no comfortable seating. The good news for this location is that they have friendly, efficient service and sell Nitro coffee. read more

This store is how I start my day, everyday. Plus plus plus on the awesome staff, cold brew from tap and making my keto drink pure deliciousness. Mobile order is always ready and a smile and greeting always come with it. Best staff and store!!! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brea, California

I stop in here for mobile orders constantly and my drink is always ready when I get there. The staff here is extremely friendly. My drink is always correct and it always tastes great. There is very limited seating and the inside is rather small if you plan to try to stay. I would recommend somewhere else in this shopping center. There are a few tables outside as well. I've never had any issues and plan to keep coming back! read more

This is by far one of my favorite locations! Mobile orders are incredible here I have never waited once. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming. The drinks are consistently delicious and if they aren't don't worry they are kind enough to help you out finding your perfect flavor. The case is always stocked with delectable looking goodies which is hard to say no to. read more

The workers here are so nice. This morning I accidentally sent my online order to the wrong Starbucks in a different city! I was in a rush on my way to class and they did not charge me and made my coffee and food super quick! Very grateful thank you guys! read more

I like to stop by at this location in the morning because they do not get as crowded compared to other starbucks location. It is a bit small and number of tables are limited. Anyways today I got the strawberry acai with splash of lemonade and it instantly became my favorite drink from Starbucks! You guys should really try it. I also love how they put strawberries in the drink. Love the smell of strawberries! read more

Starbucks - Strawberry acai with lemonade - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brea, California

I went to pick up my order but didn't see it though it should've been ready. Maddy saw me looking lost so she kindly let me know that they were all caught up on orders so I should double check that I placed my order to the correct store. Of course I hadn't so she let me know how I could get the issue corrected. They got my order done in store quickly and were very nice! Thank you Maddy and to the rest of the team as well read more

This review is for Alyssa! I came here after a horrible experience at a nail salon really close to this location for a pick me up. I ordered a tall caramel frap and she asked me about whip cream. I usually skip it but today I said "the nail salon broke my nails so load the whip cream on!" She was really sweet about everything and basically made my what would have been very bad day...GREAT. I grateful for her today and hope that whenever I come into this location, she is working. Service was pretty quick here considering there were loads of people waiting and only one person making the drinks. P.S. my frap came out perfect. read more

I have given this location the benefit of the doubt about 3 times.... today was my 4th visit in & I really hoped I wasn't going to have a bad experience again...... I was wrong. I specifically asked the gentleman at the front to repeat my order & when I got my drink at the pick up area, the barista said my name & with a total different beverage description. When I let him know it should have been something else he kindly grabbed it and apologized and offered to re make it for me. Just as he was about to toss it, the guy who took my order rushed up to tell me the drink I got WAS correct & handed it back to me!? I wasn't in the mood to argue so I just said okay and walked out. Got into my car and sipped my drink & Of course.. it wasn't what I ordered :) Not only was it was the wrong drink... but it spilled all over my floor mat when I turned out of their parking lot & also splashed all over my new WHITE converse. Apparently they didn't have hot sleeves or drink stoppers?? It was just the cherry on top of a gloomy Friday!!! Hopefully they can improve and I can return as a satisfied costumer if my stains come out of my chucks. read more

I have been going to this Starbucks for awhile and it's a little bit on the smaller side. My drinks have always been great! One time the barista gave me the wrong size drink so she gave me the wrong size one and a one that was the right size! I scored two drinks!! Looking to study here might not be the best idea due to its size. But it's possible if not all the tables are taken. The baristas here are super nice the only complaint I have is it is a hit or miss how fast you get out. Some days I have been out super quick and other days I felt like it took forever just to order my drink. Overall, I still feel it is a great Starbucks and the baristas are what make this place with their up beat personalities :) read more

I placed a mobile order yesterday and my drink didn't taste right I came in today with my drink that i didn't end up drinking to get remade and the girl working expo was very understanding and sweet, i didn't get her name but she was great and didn't give any attitude, handled the situation very well read more

This location does not have a drive thru which I did not know before I came so I'm putting it at the beginning of my review for people who care. The employees here are very friendly and I have never gotten an incorrect drink from this location. But they honestly get caught up in their own conversations behind the counter and it makes the service slow. I've been here three times and have not had a visit last less than 15 minutes. At every other Starbucks location, crowded or not, it takes less than 10 minutes to get in and out. The first time I came it took a little while for me to get my order and it was no big deal, I get it. But the second time I came it took them 20 minutes to make an iced green tea and there was only three other people in there besides me. The last time I came they completely forgot or misplaced my order and I had to remind them after seeing three other people, who came in and ordered after me, get their drinks first. Not really worth the wait in my opinion when there are other Starbucks pretty much everywhere. read more

ATTN MANAGER OF THIS STARBUCKS:: your barista JESSICA needs a raise! I recently started working in the same plaza as this Starbucks.. Upon my third time entering Jessica recognized me and said, "You are becoming a regular!" I explained that I worked around the corner and I would probably come in quite a bit. She took my drink order to memory and its amazing every time! Sure enough the next time I came in, she didn't forget. Jessica is the reason I'm giving 5 stars. She definitely puts in the effort to know her customers.. And that is what it takes to have amazing customer service. The other staff is very friendly too. Some Starbucks locations, as we all know, makes better drinks than others. This one makes them perfectly. I really don't have anything negative to say about these guys... they are great! read more

THE LITTLE STARBUCKS THAT COULD. Tiny hallway baby petite XS lolita Starbucks but efficient and great outdoor seating. Perfect spot to get some dessert coffee after tearing up Lucille's or California Fish Grill just across the way in the lot. Nice friendly staff, fresh half&half, gets packed sometimes, and no... no receipt necessary :) read more

You close at 8:30pm, yet you lock your doors at 8:25pm. Most likely earlier then that because I saw no near the doors as I walked up. Wednesday night. read more

Small place, but convenient. Inside there is about 6 tables and plenty of outlets. Outside there's about 4 tables for people who want to enjoy the sun. Free WiFi - and they don't kick you off after 30 minutes (like Panera) Parking can be a pain sometimes, but there are always spots - or spots opening up. My go-to Starbucks mostly in Brea. read more

Let's TRY to make this a short review (pssst, I SUCK at that! :P). Small (awkwardly long/rectangular) location, not very many tables, but there are friendly baristas - always a plus! :) I came in today (Halloween 2012) as Batman (OF COURSE) and the lady gave me a weird look at first when taking down my order + name. The guy who rang me up finally understood the connection between "Grande Pumpkin Spiced Latte for Batman" when he saw my full costume :P All in all, they were nice if not surprised by my costume but they called out "Batman" proud and loud and that's all that really matters (and the fact that my drink was DEE-LICIOUS! :)) read more
