Hubs received his comp birthday drink: a horchata. I had a pink energy drink and Doc treated the both of us, un-birthday road trip companions- thanks Doc. I remained in the car with grandpup so never had the opportunity to check out their interior. read more

The are Starbucks everywhere of course, but some are better than others. This location is one of the good ones. I am surprised of the lower average stars. I have always had an excellent experience whenever I have visited. Never any issues, my drink is always perfect. I use the app to pre-order, just walk in and grab my drink or food, no waiting, all with friendly service from the employees that are happy and helpful. This is a convenient location close to downtown, close to the many hotels and just off the freeway. The staff as I said are very nice, this visit I also had a great little chat with Melissa the Manager. They have an outdoor patio, a drive thru and wide open seating inside to relax, hang out, work or whatever. The store itself is very clean and welcoming when you walk in. I recommend you check them out, use the app, save the wait, earn free treats and get a delicious drink. Let's bring up their star rating, this location has earned and deserves better ratings IMO. Enjoy! read more

We have been stopping at this Starbucks for years and it has never disappointed. This can be a very busy store at times and processing the drinks in a timely manor seems to be the focus. When I order ahead my drinks are always ready when I arrive. I also like the roominess of this cafe. It's a great place to sip and get some work done read more

Just had a couple quick hot chocolates for both of us going through drive thru. Service was friendly and courteous !! Our bites of food were warm and delicious while our drinks were hot and made just as we ordered. Did not have an opportunity to check the restaurant this time around. Good tasting food and drinks ! Location is great with nice attention to detail ! Cheers !! read more

Starbucks - Iced shaken espresso with vanilla cold foam. Made perfectly! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Buellton, California

I waited over 20 minutes for my order, and it was not brought out until I had to remind the staff to check it. My drink had been sitting there, and no one called my name or made any effort to hand it to me. For a place like Starbucks, this level of service is disappointing. Long waits are one thing, but needing to repeatedly remind staff just to receive an already-made order is unacceptable. Very poor experience. I don't feel valued as a customer. read more

I have been going to this Starbucks everyday for the last 4 years. The staff is always professional, always kind and make me feel like they are glad to see me. Sometimes the wait is a little long, or they may be short staffed one day, (as any business can be). But they always give me something to look forward too and they brighten my day! Thank you for the exceptional management and customer service read more

This is the 2 time I have ordered a everything bagel I all ways order 2 and ever TIME I only get 1 cream cheese for 2 Bagles

I stopped in here for some coffee and a quick bite after driving in to visit nearby Solvang for a half marathon that weekend. I found that there was quite a bit of traffic in this small parking lot that was shared with the Tractor Supply Company. Per the usual, I placed my order on the mobile app before going inside to wait for my order. Inside was pretty spacious. Once it was ready, I found an open table to eat my meal. My order was for a grande vanilla sweet scream nitro cold brew and a turkey, provolone, pesto on ciabatta sandwich. Both items were on par with any Starbucks that I've visited. read more

As a customer and uber driver who visits this establishment at least 3 times a day every day, purchasing at least 2 coffees every day, I will never tip another employee in this establishment ever again as the manager denied me a glass of water on a 90 degree day because I had purchased my coffee not even a half hour prior to asking for a glass of water. I will let every single employee who serves me from now on know why I will never tip this establishment ever again and I will try not to buy from them in general! Manager Holly knows nothing about customer service. read more

Very friendly Barista. I dinged one star because she did not ask for my ID, which is required without the APP, also no offer to grind my bag of whole bean coffee and no offering a bag. Clean store. Big inside. Wanted to give a perfect score but as a Retired Barista, I see things. read more

This Starbucks team was very calm and welcoming. They never failed to greet everyone who came in and pulled in through the drive thru. Even as I was standing to the side for the bathroom, an employee checked in to ask if I needed help with anything. We're on vacation and thankfully this location was nearby since my sister needed to take her final for a summer class. Even when all the chairs were taken, the ambient noise wasn't too chaotic or loud since her test was being recorded and proctored. I ordered a hot chai tea. They were accommodating when I asked for hot water refills and honey packets. Even when we ordered more drinks later and our gift card wasn't going through, the cashier was patient and willing to keep trying for us. We asked for our hydro flasks to be filled with water as well as a venti water for our uncle. The only downside was one of the two bathrooms was out of order. When I got in line at one point, the lady who walked out told me that the toilet was not flushing. read more

Just ordered a medium latte, and it tasted like a cup of warm milk. I am pretty sure they only put one shot of espresso instead of two. read more

I got a venti strawberry frap and the lady that rung me up was very sweet and great to talk to. I can't remember her name but i believe it was Espi or something but she asked me how my holidays were going and if i've tried a different variation of the strawberry frap the variation she recommended was AMAZING!! and I definitely will get it again. read more

We just left this location and will never come back here again. We ordered 4 breakfast sandwiches and 3 of them were still frozen in the middle - not just cold, FROZEN. We're on the way to drop off some family at the airport and have no time to wait in line again. Very disappointed. The person at the window was also being extremely rude, and basically threw our order into our hands and shut the door. I do not recommend this location. read more

Slow service, unprofessional staff, and long wait periods without an apology for waiting. I was not greeted by any employees while waiting at the register as a lady employee looked blankly at me while waiting for food to heat up. After about a few minutes without any interaction from staff, I decided to wait at the table and order through the app. Ordered an iced tea and a chai latte online but wanted to get a small water and 2 pup cups for my dogs. Was informed that a complimentary water had to be with an order but let them know I had already ordered through the app but that didn't count. I've been to other Starbucks where a water was given without an explanation when previously ordered online. Staff needs to pick up speed and learn to interact with customers. read more

After driving for 2 hours, I decided it was time to stop to stretch my legs, get a drink, and get back on the road. I went to order my drink and the woman helping me was nice. While I was waiting, I went to the restroom and sat down near the pickup counter. A woman was waiting near the counter and I asked her how she was. She replied saying she was fine but she had been waiting 15 minutes for her drink. I couldn't believe it. I ended up waiting around 20 minutes for my drink and it wasn't worth it. I wouldn't go back here but the atmosphere was very pleasant. read more

This Starbucks is so bad it doesn't even deserve one star. I have tried it multiple times seeing if they can do their job. Haven't gotten my order right yet and it's not a difficult order "pink drink with vanilla sweet cream." The customer service is terrible how hard is it to be nice. Come to Buellton's Starbucks for a terrible experience. read more

I can see why they have such poor reviews. I ordered a drink online and the service I received was rude. This is obviously an ongoing issue that needs to be addressed. Part of the Starbucks experience is friendly, welcoming baristas, but obviously not at this location. My drink was fine, but not the service. read more

My Starbucks experience has always been great. But lately this girl called April sometimes leaves my drink on the table without calling my name. I've even noticed my drink is a bit melted due to this. I haven't noticed this with anyone else except for her. read more

Drinks came out perfect. Even with the long drive thru line, the service inside was fast. There weren't any napkins, sweeteners, or utensils out. Asking for these items can be time consuming and there was a bunch of people asking for them at the pickup area. Trying to the get the baristas attention for a fork to eat the egg bites felt like a hassle. Would have liked it to come out with the food. read more

I was there for a visit to try a pumpkin spice latte, at least thats what I thought it was. When I got to Starbucks I said forget the drive-thru, it was like 10 cars in line so I went inside. What was amazing was it seemed like the customers in the drive-thru had hemorrhoids or something, they all seemed impatient and complained about everything. The bistro did whatever they could to please them by apologizing or giving them something free because you could see there was only 2 employees and the drive-thru register was down. I was amazed on how the bistro would stay calm throughout that period with a mask on. All I can think is that Starbucks has great employees working in this store. If the customer is local, then they should be greatful on what they have and quit complaining. That's all I got to say read more

Big drive-through delivery lines / tiny indoor patron lines. You're in, you're out, it's Starbucks...pretty much know what you're going to get and this location does that. Starbuck's is the McDonald's of the coffee world. read more

Used order ahead through the Starbucks App. When we arrived, one food order was missing and the other was so over heated it was hard. Waited 5 minutes to finally have a chance to ask someone. She tried to tell me they forgot the first item because they're out and 2nd one was always hard. I had to ask her to make me a new one and despite her statement, it was soft and edible. We ordered a replacement for the other item that cost half the price then had to wait in line to get our refund. Will not return to this location again. read more

Ordered my drink. Wrong drink supervisor comes up and leaning against the drive thru window looks at me like I said something wrong. She was argumentative and rude and I ended up leaving with a refund because she was just plain unapologetic and smart mouthed. And dressed really sloppy too. But before I left...... I got her name APRIL. You should NOT be a supervisor. If I had been a shopper for Starbucks...you would have been out of a job! And I said several times......"I'm so sorry " thinking she would. Never! She's bad for biz. I had to give one star but really it's a negative star! read more

The workers are so friendly here! I come here almost every morning for work, and I always get great service.

This Starbucks is located next to the freeway and down the street from Solvang. It makes a great pit stop on the way home. The parking lot is kinda weird, but they do have a drive thru. The bathrooms were not stocked up and clean when I was there, so I'll minus a star for that. The service was OK, but it took a bit longer than usual to get our coffee. The drinks themselves tasted just fine. read more

Great employees. They are typically Helpful and friendly! Otherwise this is a typical Starbucks.

I don't know if they ever clean this location. Every table is always dirty and sticky, the floors are crunchy with crumbs, and the bathrooms are not any better. When I ask for a table to be wiped down, I typically get a blank stare or an annoyed look. Bummer. read more

One thing that peeves me to the max is when I am Talking to a barista in drive thru trying to order my keto drink & a lady cuts her off & says they don't have Keto drinks...she said they don't own the rights to it....I am the one that called it that and at no time did I ask them her to claim it as theirs.....I just wanted a damn "white" drink .... it was called this at another Starbucks no lie! I didn't need that whole explanation all they had to ask me what was in it so they could make it...starbucks got so damn big that customer service just went out the window...reminds me of fast food service...such a shame. read more

Amazingly badass baristas working behind the counter of this location. I experienced a less than satisfying Frappuccino purchased at another Starbucks up the road. This team fixed the problem and made my day in the process!! Cannot thank you enough. Picture perfect frapp with flavor to match!! This is exactly why I remain loyal to Starbucks. Exemplary service, and superlative drinks and food. Enjoy your week. Hope to see you during my next visit. (La La). read more

Worst experience at a Starbucks ever. The Drive thru barista was so rude and said she was the supervisor but refused to give her name. She has zero patience and cut me off while putting my order in. I told her I felt she was speaking to me with an attitude and instead of changing her tone said they were just really backed up with orders despite there being only one car behind us. When I asked for the store manager's name, she literally closed the drive thru window in my face. read more

I have had the worst experience at this Starbucks you could imagine and on multiple occasions. I do not plan on going back there and would recommend others to skip this location as well! I have been bullied multiple times by Laura who calls herself the "shift supervisor". She has yelled at me, talked bad about me over her head set while the other baristas giggle, she has even purposefully made me wait longer for my items putting other orders in front of mine and telling the other girls working there "she can wait". One morning I was in the drive thru and I heard the am supervisor talking over the drive thru speaker thinking her microphone was off and saying the man behind me in line was "creepy, ugly, and short", when I confronted her about it and said everyone heard her over the loud speaker she just said "Oh I'm venting because we get so many stalkers here" what a terribly embarrassing situation for that poor guy! I don't understand how it is acceptable to take a customer's money and abuse them while you're just trying to get coffee, Nevermind good customer service the baristas in there are the worst representation I have ever seen! I have been "mean girled" by them, for lack of better words, too many times I will not go back! The manager of this Starbucks needs to take some responsibility for the conduct of their employees and raise their standards. Either clean house or close their doors. I would give them negative stars if I could. read more

I love this local Starbucks - most recently I've really appreciated the real happy and positive service there. Unfortunately, there was something I noticed as I drove around the drive-thru to get my coffee - trash. Quite a bit. Living in such a beautiful area as Santa Ynez, with lots of tourist, keeping it looking its best it's important. Thank you for listening and here's a photo also. read more

There was zero need to rush I don't know why they rushed I was the only person in the drive-through my drink came out super sticky and there were fingerprints on the top by the mouth please disgusting I would never ever go here if I looked at the yelp reviews and now based on all of the others I would never ever go to any Starbucks that I don't check the reviews on first ever again. Honestly the worst Starbucks experience I've ever had. I'll go local instead and wait. read more

At this Starbucks in particular, the service is horrible, three times in a row. Immature and unprofessional staff. Unfriendly. Bathrooms are filthy. Whole vibe -- staff works at their pace, very inconsiderate. read more
