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

I am in the Santa Maria area for work and still have not been able to order the 'infamous' orange drink at this or the Lompoc location . I was told that the Orange Mango refresher was being discontinued and availability will be limited until the present stock is completely out. Then no longer available at all. It's a secret menu item so I don't hold them accountable. Disappointed yes, but more embarrassed by the way my request of the drink has been handled. Sadly they are completely out and no one seems to have ever made one at either of these locations. Maybe it skipped these locations entirely since it is so new. But huge ups to the higher power that set me straight and let me know the real scoop. Back to ordering coffee! What a novel concept. read more

Quality Starbucks as always .... However the 5th star is missing because slower than average service read more

Starbucks - nice new location. Friendly baristas and quick service. It's woodsy on the outside and big and open inside. Not sure how long it's been here but it's a nice location. read more

Starbucks - Nice building - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Buellton, California

We are locals and frequent this Starbucks. Unfortunately they get our order wrong more often than not..ie, cold brew, no Carmel syrup sub SUGARFREE, they used caramel syrup. read more

Makayla, I can't recall the unique spelling of her name, was friendly and informative. At countless other SBux when ordering decaf I've received less than stellar service due to them having to do a pourover. She, however, was all smiles. I had run out of Sweetleaf stevia during this business trip but luckily this store had a stevia sweetener in addition to the usual sweeteners. read more

It's about time that a Starbucks came to Buellton. The drive was way too long between Santa Barbara and Santa Maria without a great Latte, Espresso, Frappuccino, and sandwiches. read more

Starbucks - A heart for me! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Buellton, California

See all

Easy access off the highway. Drive thru is easy to drive thru with a larger vehicle unlike others. Friendly staff. A much needed Starbucks right outside of Solvang. read more

I come to this Starbucks all the time. The staff is friendly and the time from ordering to receiving a drink is average. Some days faster, some days slower than average. It is a nice new establishment here in Buellton just East of the 101 freeway on Hwy 246. My only complaint is that the WiFi is painfully slow. If they could just speed that up then they will get the 5th star but all in all this is a great Starbucks. read more

Starbucks - Caramel salted mocha frappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Buellton, California

The staff are doing a great job of getting people their coffee fix. So many nice new people working there that are always lovely to chat with. read more

Slow and dirty on multiple occasions. Writing this as I sit waiting in the drive thru. Baristas are usually friendly though!

Needed caffeine for the road. Ordered medium latte. They made it decaf, I guess by mistake. The first sip tasted sweet but bland, like flat soda and with no coffee flavor, so I was suspicious, but it can be hard to tell. However, even after downing the entire large latte, I didn't feel awake at all, and I am sensitive to caffeine. I had to drive the rest of the way to Oxnard while tired as hell. On way back, stopped by Coffee Cabin instead. Coffee tasted better and woke me up with two sips instantly. read more

Drive thru is sorta slow! Only 3 cars ahead yet ..... takes forever . Nice service just like most any other Starbucks

This location is hit or miss. The people making the drinks are always considerate and everything comes out tasty. That gets them 3 stars. They loose one star because they the people running the registers do not know what goes into the food and front products they sell, and the food products they sell are not labeled adequately with allergen labels. They earn one star back because the baristas always give my service dog a puppachino. A small espresso cup with a little whipped cream at the bottom. read more

I have visited this Starbucks at least six times and only ever been through the drive through. They are always super fast and very friendly. My drinks have always tasted great. read more

The barista kept bad mouthing their product and making derogatory remakes such as, "They're not real Mexicans if they say it tastes like real horchata!" Very unprofessional and insensitive of their clientele!!! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Buellton, California

I stop in here almost every week and I am normally really impressed with their service, however on a few occasions I have received stingy lattes. Half foam/half milk. NOT COOL. Please don't sting on the milk guys... I'd buy a cappuccino if I wanted the foam! read more

Drive through the Buellton Starbucks almost every weekday morning. Always relatively quick and definitely friendly service. Jynn is awesome, the best, and remembers me and my drink. read more

Slowest Starbucks. Took 18 mins to make iced coffee. Pathetic. Was second from asking for a refund.

They have been doing much better lately. Lines are moving, drinks are as ordered, and finally not running out of things all the time.

Ok, so they were really slow when they first opened, however, they've fixed the problem, and the service is a lot better now. I come here often to work on my computer, and have some coffee. They are super friendly. It's great to be greeted by someone so friendly early in the morning when I'm not feeling so friendly my self. read more

One of the most disgusting and slowest Starbucks I have ever been too. The trash was overfilling to the point where people were placing cups on the floor and baristas were standing around doing nothing while the line was out the door. Very disappointed. read more

This is the worst Starbucks I've ever been to. I love Starbucks and really wanted to like this one because it's close to my house, but I end up waiting until I'm in another town to get my coffee. The Buellton location consistently gets the orders wrong or makes the drinks wrong. There have been several times I've had to throw out the whole order. I wish I could say the attitude of the baristas was a saving grace, but they are so busy on their phones or (unnecessary) headsets that they ignore customers. When I've complained about them getting things wrong, they try to prove they're right. When they insisted they'd given me a hot drink after I told them it wasnt, I finally said "feel the cup" which was ice cold, like it was straight out of the refrigerator. read more

Every time I come to this Starbucks they always without fail get my Starbucks order wrong even if I'm the only car there. I've been coming to this Starbucks on and off since they open and I wanted to like this Starbucks so bad and used any excuse to justify them getting my order wrong. I even thought of a excuse when the barista taking my order was rude to me. I just can't excuse them getting my order wrong anymore. Just stick to the coffee cabin right next to jack in the box they are friendly and actually get my order right. read more

Sat in line for 15 minutes for 1 beverage! They didn't appear to be slammed. They appeared slow & nonchalant.

Passing through service was great! My Venti Vanilla Latte was great!! I love this location and the Baristas are Amazing!!

Slowest Starbucks ever. Ordered a soy latte, saw people who came in after me get their drinks so I asked about mine, turns out they lost my order. 20mins for a simple order at an empty location is pretty bad. read more

Samantha took charge and customer serviced the hell out of me after I waited 15 minutes for a tall cappuccino. The store wasn't busy, and I definitely thought it was weird I didn't receive my drink in the usual 1-5 minutes it takes. Turns out someone else grabbed my drink. Samantha noticed I was still waiting, quickly remade my drink, and ensured I would return to this location. She was so sweet and offered great service! read more

Slow AF.......................15 min with only 2 cars ahead of me. Come on get your s together.

It's true that this is a convenient location. Easy on and off the freeway. Thus the drive thru line will many times be WICKEDLY LONG!!! The crew seem able to get out the orders. But, every time I order my 'go to' drink, a 'Flat White' (grande), it comes out HALF FULL! It will have too much foam. My GRANDE seems more like a TALL, an EXTRA EXPENSIVE TALL. I do a mobile order and then pick it up. If I had more time, I might ask them to fill it up with steamed milk. But, that would defeat the purpose of doing a mobile order! 1st, id have to get their attention, which is not easy, as they are all running around, super busy. I understand such, as they have a very large cliental base every morning. My last visit, the Banana Bread was NOT heated as requested. BOTTOM LINE: 1) Don't do mobile orders, if you're your PICKY with what you like or how you want it. 2) Factor in an extra 5 min or so for your "IT'S NOT RIGHT! FIX IT!" speech. read more

Love, love Starbucks and was so excited to finally get one in our town but it is painfully slow. Not sure if it because they are all new or management. We have been three times and each time it took about 25 minutes to get two drinks. They also made our drink incorrectly on two of the visits. I am hopeful that they will get better and faster. read more

I go to the Starbucks once a week since it opened it seems like its getting slower and slower I was in the drive thru with one car ahead of me I could see through the windows on my left hand side there was four people working one person in the inside doing studying one car in front of me and they got one drink after 9 minutes painfully slow they think everything's a joke!!!!! I also frequent the Starbucks at the bottom of the grapevine in tejon if these people think that they can make it at those Starbucks they would be fired and ran off the first day luckily there's a coffee shop right across the street that's an original owner to Buellton I think I'll start visiting her some more. 0 stars I only picked one star because Yelp made me read more

One of the worst Starbucks experiences of all time. They took 20 minutes on 3 drinks and when I got the drinks they were all cold and didn't taste right. While ordering I asked for a lemonade and a strawberry tea and they told me that all there tea products were out. Poor management if you ask me. read more

Painfully slow! 20 MINUTES for 2 drinks. The staff were not in any hurry either, standing and chatting casually with one another while I was waiting. Management really needs to be more involved with training these employees. read more

Went through this starbucks drive thru on our way home from a long fabulous weekend. Ordered our drinks, when we got to the window one of the drinks was incorrect, the "barista" Carolyn with horrible customer service, bad attitude, and hateful as all get out argued with us saying we were wrong! Asked for more money to make the drink right, we were in complete utter shock at the way she was treating us, gave her the .50 cents while trying to talk to her she closed the windows on us, held out her finger as to say wait. By this time I was getting very upset, when she finally opened the windows to give us our drink I told her I've never seen anything like her at a Starbucks She closed the drive thru windows and FLIPPED is off with both hands! So now I'm more than angry! Went inside the store to speak with a manager, no manager on duty said I could speak with a shift supervisor, and guess who that was? Yep Carolyn! Needless to say I called corporate (at her lovely suggestion) hopefully she will be taken care of properly... It was a bad ending to a wonderful get away .. read more

Staff is friendly but super slow. I go to this location often and it usually takes about 10-15 minutes for one drink and that's when they're not busy. It's takes longer if they're busy. Always plenty of staff so I don't understand why employees take so long to make drinks. Don't stop at this location if your short on time. read more

Horrible service at drive through. Had to clarify order three times. It was just two drips and two lattes. Server had attitude.

A mixed bag. Agree with a few reviewers - an extra shot in a standard cappuccino took really EXTRA time, though the place wasn't busy at all. There was water running out of the cooling unit, the employees had not been realizing. However on the positive side: the location is convenient, the interior cool and spacious, bathrooms clean and most important the beautiful smile of Trish! read more
