This is the dirtiest Starbucks I have ever been too! I had to ask the manager to clean the table and she was very unprofessional. Will post pictures to proof read more

See all

Slowest service ever!!! And I have been to several Starbucks all around the country with faster service than this! It took more than 10 minutes for our drinks to be served to us, and there was more than 3 people working at the counter plus the drive thru. They were working on other people's drinks rather than our own. Really?! Not impressed with this location... read more

Worst Starbucks. We stop here because it's the only Starbucks on the commute to Santa Barbara, but we may have to just invest in a thermos and get coffee elsewhere. The drive thru ALWAYS takes forever. I go to a ton of Starbucks' across the central coast and this one consistently takes a very long time to get in and out. Any time we have gone past lunch time, they are out of cold brew, get the memo that you guys need bigger batches of cold brew if it's selling out by lunch every day! Staff is not friendly and half the time the drink is not made correctly. Honestly not sure why I still go here. read more

New building in Buellton, or at least, it is new to me. This location has a drive-thru, which is great for getting off the highway and back on again. read more

I haven't been happy with this particular Starbucks for awhile. I come in st least once weekly, about 8:30 pm. They are constantly out of the food and drink products I order and they tend to put away the food way before closing time. Then we are shooed out of the store 30 min prior to closing. None of this makes me feel very welcome. While a few of the employees are friendly enough, the rest seem to roll their eyes when we come in at 8:30. read more

Wonderful staff and manager Melissa. Don't bother with the drive-thru. Long wait. I'm not sure why people don't use the app to order ahead. Just go inside and say hello to Melissa. read more

This Starbucks is an amazing addition to our area. The staff is all very friendly, they are fast and efficient and the place is clean! Very helpful and convenient as there is a drive thru (especially during the pandemic) read more

This is the worst Starbucks. They're usually out of everything & the staff, while a few can be friendly most are rude. Go across the street to Albertsons, they're worth getting out of the car for. They have the friendliest staff & they never mess up your drinks. read more

This place used to be good and quick. Why use the mobile order if you still have to sit and wait? The drive through would have been quicker. I can't rely upon this place for service. The quality is good the speed is horrible. I don't think I just can go here any more. read more

Got two "Impossible" sandwiches. They need to turn down the heat/time on the microwave. The buns were toasted to a hard crisp and the cheese was nuked into oblivion. read more

Awesome location and people. Give raises to the staff.!! Especially April and Abraham. !!!! read more

I have been consistently using this Starbucks for over a year now. I'm your classic mobile order on the way to work person. They work hard to get the drinks out quickly and my order is always perfect. This location gets slammed -- especially in the morning. It's literally the only Starbucks for 20+ miles and there's a drive thru. There will be a wait sometimes and that should be expected. The employees have all been really nice to me and now, know me by name and what drink I order. I read complaints on here for cleanliness. This location is always really clean to me, even the bathrooms. If there is a lapse, I can only imagine it's due to all-hands-on-deck making drinks during peak times. read more

What I expect from Starbucks: decent latte, the way I want it What I got: wrong latte and attitude when I brought it to barista's attention. I don't know if this is legit Starbucks. I got coffee flavored milk. We got 2 lattes and both of them taste worse than the ones in the bottle. read more

I have been coming to this Starbucks since it opened at least 2 times per week. Well, I was never impressed (and I go to a lot of Starbucks. Trust). In the beginning when they first opened the issue was getting my order correct with a dash of bad attitude from employees every now and then. I recently ordered a drink through their app only to find out their computers were down once I got to the location, that wasn't an issue thought. I get it. What was horrible was the condescending tone the employee talked to me while explaining it was down and the entire time he made my drink. 1) I'm not an idiot 2) if you are going to work dealing with the public, please, please don't treat your customers like they are bothering you because it CLEARLY shows. I have to say, this was not he only time I experienced this either at this Starbucks. Not coming back. read more

Everyone here looks like they hate their job. Rude & terrible customer service. Why would you throw someone's pastries on the counter? Literally THROW. & give eye rolls. I'm pretty sure Starbucks doesn't look at their reviews enough to go try to fix the service here. read more

I go to this Starbucks all the time and have thought about leaving a one star review for years. I don't know who is training these people on drive orders, but every time I get to the speaker, they tell me to wait, and then they don't repeat the orders or tell you the price, they just say "see you at the window". No other Starbucks does this!! Even when there's no one in the drive thru, they say they'll be right with you.. this is not the way. Train your employees better! read more

I couldn't believe how dirty this place is and the restrooms were worse. Service is not Starbucks quality, they are kinda rude and they gave me the wrong drink twice. This last time I went, my lid to my coffee cup was not put on correctly and I was driving down HWY101 as my lid came off!!!! hot?!!Yes!! & dangerous! Not cool read more

No bathroom so if you want to wash your hands before eating, you can't. They say it's to minimize contact, but no bathrooms = no sanitation. Let's get reasonable. Will not return. read more

So slow. Painfully slow. If they don't have the staff, they should close or partially close.

Very very slow , they're racist here , we waited for forever for one drink and the lady at the cashier was really rude , I felt super uncomfortable speaking to her read more

I went through the drive through this morning it wasn't packed and with service from starbucks usually being the same I thought nothing of it. The girl rushed my order and didn't listen to me. Being allergic to dairy Ihad asked for soy and the girl taking my order disregarded me when I asked. I drove an hour to work to realize my whole drink was wrong. No one looked happy to be there and everyone was being rude. I love Starbucks but I always have issues when I go to this one. Just go to Albertsons across the street. read more

Worst of the chain. Every six months or so I try again. They never fail to disappoint. Staff just doesn't seem to care it try.

Relatively new Starbucks in this shopping center that was built a few months ago. Super convenient since they do have a drive thru here. Staff is courteous and nice. read more

Starbucks - Iced coconut milk mocha macchiato - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Buellton, California

I always try to stop here in my drives from LA to AG. Great staff last night 12/29 -- location is ideal and gives you food choices like Chipotle, Habit Burger, Panda -- even more restaurants across the street. The decor of this Starbucks is really hi-end. Great raised tables and good selection of food/drinks read more

This Starbuck is in a good location right next to my hotel and close to the freeway. It does have drive through. I have been here several times and I understand being busy. But 3/5 times my drink has been wrong. Nerd Pro: Lots of space to spread out and study or work if you want. Nerd Con: They don't seem to understand the concept of diffusion because when I ask for milk in my tea (they no longer but milk out only half and half) they immediately but it in the cup. This stops all diffusion and thus stops the tea from actually flavoring the drink. So I am just drinking warm milky water. You don't have to let it diffusion long just so the water is light brown. read more

We visited this store on our way to Fremont, CA on 8/17, 9PM. My husband left his cell phone in the store. We tried to call the store several times on Friday only got busy tones. We called 800 number for help, then the store manager Melissa answered the phone when we called again and she was very nice, saying she will FeDex the phone to us and send me a tracking number. I never got the tracking number. We waited several days and tried to call the store to check, only got answer message so we left several messages, but noone called back. We are trying to contact Starbucks helpline but they said we have to call the store to resolve this. We need the phone to contact our contractors. It has been a week. We don't know what to do. We are shocked at the communication issue with this store. Other store we called did answer their calls but said they could not help us. This has been the store we always visit on our way to visit our grandchildren...I think we need to find one that will answer phone calls in the future. In the mean time, we are still missing the cell phone... read more

I am passionate about Starbucks unfortunately they have been closed for the last handful of days this is potentially acceptable if I can understand why. The root of my disappointment comes with not being able to understand why they are still excepting online orders when they are not able to fill the orders and I am unable to get my money back. Before leaving my house this morning I placed an order believing if the transaction went through they were going to be able to fill said order... much to my surprise upon arriving they were closed and I still have not been able to get my money back! I have DM them informing them of this atrocity am hoping for a reply. read more

super loud music speakers play hip hop and rap in an unknown language and the servers can not change the music choice

I love Starbucks and I frequently get coffee at their locations when I go on long drives. Leaving Solvang, this was the closest location. While the drinks were great as always, the service was certainly not. We entered and got to the register (no line, only one or two people inside with their drinks) and waited more than five minutes for anyone to even say hello or address us. I understand they're busy, with the drive thru and all, but usually, when a place is busy, someone will say, "Sorry, we'll be with you in a moment!" But nope. Here, more than four workers made eye contact with us, walked directly in front of the register a few times. No one said a thing until someone from the back came out and took our order (she wasn't very kind either). Overall, not good service. read more

The worst Starbucks I've ever been to. -Ridiculously slow. -They get orders wrong. When you inform them the order is wrong you are met with attitude. -The store is filthy. -Bathrooms are filthy. -Re-stock food cart is parked outside of bathrooms uncovered. -When picking up a mobile order you have to interrupt and flag someone down to ask if it's ready. -No one acknowledges your presence or asks if they can help you. Not once in my 50+ visits. -Manager does NOT want to be there. It's obvious. Provided all this feedback though Starbucks website and nothing has changed in the almost year it has been open. I frequent this location at least a couple times a week. The only reason is so that I can customize my drink via the app. I've only seen maybe 2 faces more than once besides the manager who is a pill. Major shame. Every other Starbucks I've been to is dialed in. This one is managed horribly, clearly. read more

Fast service, drinks on point. Lots of tables inside and seating outside. The Floors of store was dirty, trash cans were to the brim, and the bathroom was out of soap. I must of came in after the rush and they didn't have the chance to clean up read more

Awesome Customer service is pretty standard at Starbucks but the woman managing the drive through was so snarky and rude here. Least friendly Starbucks I've ever been to. Super slow and doesn't care at all about the experience. Avoid this one read more

This adorable little Starbucks, on Highway 246 just East of the 10 in Buellton, has a fresh, clean, new feel to it, making me believe it hasn't been open long. There isn't a spec of dust or a scratch in the paint, nothing to mar the spotless perfection of it all. There is an outdoor patio area with tables, chairs and the ubiquitous dark green Starbucks umbrellas. Inside are the traditional Starbucks Earthy tones, but with a twist; most Starbucks have Earth tone paints, but this one has much more wood panelling than usual and even some dark red brick. It all still fits in with the Earthy tones, but add a variety of textures to the environment. The line wasn't particularly long and the baristas kept it moving pretty quickly. We received our drinks, a vanilla latte for my companion and a soy chai latte for myself. The drinks were made quickly and we were in and out of here in under 10 minutes from when we walked in. Very efficient service and drinks that meet the Legendary Starbucks standard are a win for me across the board. And don't forget - free wifi! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by this Starbucks before heading home after a weekend at Solvang. It was a bit out of the way, but the only Starbucks within the area. This Starbucks is huge and has a very nice feel/vibe to it! Plenty of seating inside, as well as outside. There's a drive thru as well! The baristas are friendly and I was surprised at how fast everyone was working! My caramel macchiato was made super fast (and correctly), and my bagel was heated up real fast as well. Super lightening speed! read more

Everyone has been to Starbucks at least a handful of times. I am not a HUGE Starbucks fan but will go to one roughly once a week or so and, like most people, I've been to Starbucks all OVER the place both nationally and internationally. Why all this preamble? Just so you know where I'm coming from when I say that THIS Starbucks was the fastest, most efficient, and friendliest Starbucks I have ever been to. I went through the drive-through and there were four cars in front of me. Start to finish I was out of there with cup of coffee in-hand in (not exaggerating as I watched my clock) about two and a half minutes! The woman on the speaker- handling the drive-through customers was so pleasant and friendly- it was so refreshing! They processed my order perfectly and I was on my way. read more

Wow Extremely Rude attitude(s) right when you walk in, felt rushed to order and they got my name completely wrong because of it..surprise they got my order right read more

1. the bathroom was clean and had toilet paper- amazing how many of them don't get maintained. 2. the banana bread was available! and the server offered to heat it ! Good location and friendly employees! read more

Dear Owner/Manager, Very nice space, primo location BUT the staff here seems terribly unhappy. Four of them looked up as we walked in (zero line) not one "Good Morning" or "We'll be with you in a minute"....all heads returned to the tasks at hand. We just stood there, waiting ... if this was my store, I'd have a serious training session with these folks working the morning of May 14th. read more

Since I wrote my original review, I have noticed improvement and changed my opinion of this location. Workers are taking my entire order now and getting them done correctly, im very happy with the change. Still a bit slow compared to other locations, but not terribly slow. read more

One of the longest and most unproductive drive thrus I've ever been through. The young man working the DT window was rude and made us seem like we were an inconvenience to his day. No hello. No thank you. What happened to customer service? Note to manager: train your staff on how to at least smile. read more
