So proud of this location! It's nearly ALWAYS busy, and somehow the team there still keeps calm, clean, and going! I've seen them under staffed, in the past, where they still kept it together! This location isn't idea for parking & or drive thru but it still is busy always... so why change it! Now my drink today, was a good one, but the amount of praline topping & cold foam was quite ridiculous, yes still delicious! read more

Very understaffed. I paid and the barista put my cup under the Pikes Place dispenser and it filled up. And it stayed there. People came in and it stayed there. I had to go ask for it. 4+ minutes. Time to get so more help here. read more

This is the most poorly-managed Starbucks I have been too. They are always understaffed and frequently have to close their cafe and do drive-thru only. The manager, Sam, is very rude and I can only imagine that is why they can't keep employees. Save yourself the trouble and go to On the Grind instead read more

We have all been to many Starbucks and seen good service, but when I ordered a refresher I watched them make it closely and noticed the manager dirrecting an employee to add extra ice after he had not made enough drink, I had asked for light ice, drink was watered down after paying like 7$ for their smallest size, like come on? read more

Got a hot chocolate on this cold night and it tasted like water with dirt in it. This is a reason why i stopped coming to Starbucks honestly, disappointing every time i go especially to this specific location. read more

If I could give Zero stars I would. Customer Service is severely lacking. Today was the 2nd time in the last month I've encountered bad customer service there. When my order was handed to me which was a cold brew, it looked like a latte with milk in it. Upon asking if they gave me the correct drink, the girl just stared at me. No reaction. No response. I just got a blank stare. I had to ask again and push for any response. Her response finally was "I don't know ". If you can't speak to people properly you have no business working in this service industry or at the to-go window. Do better Starbucks. read more

The barista was too busy socializing with other coworkers and working on drive through orders to remember that I placed an order for coffee in the store. I had to first remind her to make it and then had to ask for it when it was done and had been for 5 minutes. The store manager needs to retrain the baristas on paying attention and customer service. When I asked if she forgot (which I could tell from the facial expressions they did) they just stood there and and didn't apologize or say anything and I get an excuse of I wanted to make sure it got done. Probably nothing will get done about this because customer service and common sense do not exist anymore but I can hope that one day it will. read more

Nice Starbucks with a pleasant staff. Best have your GPS ready, finding this place after exiting the highway was tricky. read more

Always had a good experience here. There was an older worker who remembers my husband who passed away 17 years ago. So to me has personal touch. And they don't mind that I have 3 dogs and ask for as many pup cups read more

Wanted to place an order for a frappe. Special order instead of milk I wanted heavy cream. Instead of frappe roast I wanted cold brew. Refused to make my drink. Subbing one ingredient for another. That's all, not that hard. This is what I wanted so yes it's possible but just a difficult staff. read more

RUDE RUDE RUDE!! My drink had to be made 3x before they got it right. When trying to order for the 3rd time, manager tells me to be nice, because I had to give them step by step order. Then rest of staff proceeds to be rude w me, and tall young boy working there made a scene and embarrassed me. They teach employees to be rude to their customers there!! read more

Great food selection. The tomato basil sandwich is always good. They have good grilled cheese sandwiches. The coffee is very good. Especially the caramel macchiato. read more

This is the slowest Starbucks I have ever been to. First time took me nearly 30 min to get through the drive through. So I tried again but came inside hoping for it to be faster but no. Been standing inside waiting for 20 min....they need more people on staff here to handle the demand. read more

They changed the interror. Chairs nail the backs of your legs when scooching in. OUCH! Hard seats abound. It's now super cramped. Be prepared to sit within 2 foot of strangers. Yeah...just my luck the dude on my left smells like he hasn't bathed in weeks. Smell really makes my lemon cake unique. It reeks of a sale at Ikea. Six people working behind the counter with a line half way to the door. Open the other register!! This place took a huge dive. I'm not happy. read more

Starbucks - That bar on the chairs is going to hurt when your scooching in. OUCH - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bulverde, Texas

The coffee is always good and staff is quick plus friendly. Unfortunately the tables are always dirty and the bathrooms always smell like doggie. Parking can complicated if you want to order inside. The drive thru is quick. Their mobile service is super quick and they've never messed up my order. read more

Hey it's Starbucks! Well it was my birthday and they gave me a birthday drink that was awesome! I posted a picture because they left me a little note to make my day great! They know how to make a 22-year-old feel special read more

I've lived in the area for 8+ years. The employees are incredibly nice (especially the ones who have been worked there for many years). But my drinks are pretty regularly messed up. So often, there is something wrong with my drink, whether they didn't know how to make my drink so they just winged it, or they put in the wrong syrups/creams, or totally mess up the ratios. It's usually due to a new barista making the drinks, but seriously? Train them better or let the employees who know what they're doing make the drinks. Also, don't go on Sundays. The Sunday crew is unbelievably slow and will definitely mess up your drink. There honestly are a lot of great employees at this location, many of whom are great baristas. It's just unfortunate that there as so many bad new baristas to make the experience very unpleasant. read more

Love the people. But WOW this place is so slow!! It usually is the drive thru that gives me issues. Today, two cars in front of me and it took 12 mins to get through. They close early for a Starbucks but not much happens after sundown in this sleepy little town. read more

I understand this is a small town but this one operates as if it's a one horse town. Took 15 minutes to get an iced americano. This isn't the first time, I've given them a couple of chances because it's the only starbucks around but my time is worth more. The people are sweet service is just extremely slow. read more

Another great experience with a well operated store! The drink was made to order correctly and DELICIOUS and the Partners were ALL in GREAT SPIRITS, NICE, VERY FRIENDLY and the store itself very clean and well organized "little bit of dust on the pod boxes" but awesome overall!! read more

Starbucks - Once again, great product and AWESOME PARTNERS!! The store is obviously run by a great SM under a well respected DM. Live it. Thanks! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bulverde, Texas

Let's chat about Veterans Day coffee, shall we? Came in this afternoon. Was first in line, no baristas made eye contact, waited patiently until someone acknowledged my existence. Everyone seemingly "busy"... yet a line is forming and those standing around continue their busy work. Ordered my daughter a cake pop and a free Vet coffee. Then waited another 10 minutes watching everyone get their orders that came in after me. I finally spoke up and so did another gentleman that was waiting for his drink. They finally gave us our drinks after a 13 minute wait; his was presumedly much longer. Both of us were Vets. Coincidence? I think not. Well played, Starbucks. Well played. read more

DO NOT go to this Starbucks. You will get caught in the parking lot and wait an extremely long time for your order. We placed an order for ONE drink 10 minutes before arriving through the app and still waited 30 minutes. read more

Horrible Starbucks! Ordered 2 peppermint hot chocolates and was given just milk! We tried stirring it, there is absolutely no chocolate In here other then the few chocolate shavings on top. Still confused on how someone felt comfortable serving this. read more

This has got to be the most frustrating Starbucks ever! Time for a management shift or refresher training on customer service. I've been to this location a few times and every visit has been unpleasant. First time in, there were 3 female baristas working and not one of them acknowledged my presence. After patiently standing and waiting for 10 min, one hesitatingly walked over to the register and asked me what I wanted. . Today, I went through the drive thru and after several minutes, I was told it would be a minute. After 12 minutes, the line had not moved and nobody got back with me to take my order. There were 4 cars ahead of me ‍. I'm done. I'll go to Quik Trip for my coffee...they're much friendlier and quicker. read more

I just started going to this SB and don't drink coffee too often but I do love White choc mocha. NOW that being said 5 times they got it wrong and sadly one of the times i complained when back for a make up and they STILL got it wrong. Yes they have great customer service at the drive through but what good is that if your coffee doesn't hit the mark. Sadly this is the only SB near here and when i get the urge to want coffee i will settle for my instant at home instead. read more

They are always rude at this location, I keep coming back because it's the only Starbucks close by my work & I always feel like a burden when I come to this one because they get annoyed with my order coming in right when they open, I understand it can be a little annoying but I work at 6Am & they open at 5:30 so what can I do? read more

TERRIBLY slow. I only come here because it's the only one for at least ten miles! It seems like no one has ever been trained on efficiency. They always have at least four employees running around doing everythjng EXCEPT making eye contact with the customers to service them. read more

This location has gotten lax in carrying whether or not your drink order is correct. Use the app, drink order is the same every time. No foam no whip , today I have whip and foam her response is as she roll her eyes , oh you don't want foam or whip? If you don't like your job, find another one! read more

The service here is definitely improving! There's a really friendly older lady who works here and she always makes it a point to talk to and reach her customers. The customers really seem to enjoy her. The staff seems to have been updated and drive through orders have been much faster--even on Fridays when the lines are long. Very happy for the improved service!! read more

Always out of something!!! Manager is sassy and short when it comes to complaints..we need a need coffe stop in SB!

Before the pandemic, I would come here literally every morning for an espresso. Love the atmosphere and the incredibly friendly employees. This is definitely one of my favorite places to be. read more

The food and coffee are good, as always. However, if you're in a hurry, I suggest ordering ahead online otherwise you'll be waiting for an absurdly long line. Not due to the employees, but due to the popularity of this location. The parking lot is also extremely difficult to navigate on a busy day read more

I witnessed the store manager Carley or whatever it is, Telling the employees that they were out of dress code and was loud about it in the middle of a busy time. While she herself was wearing leggings.... No apron on, hair was down and trying to "help with drinks" while just standing around texting on her phone while customers are waiting in line to order/receive drinks . Very unprofessional manager. This store needs to fix its management. employees are great, drinks are made well. Just saw a piss awful manager treating employees like s***. Would hate to put up with her on a daily basis. read more

This morning I stopped at Starbucks after I placed my mobile order. The gentleman making my drink double checked with me to see if my drink was supposed to be iced or hot. He also went out of his way to make sure I didn't want whipped cream on it. I don't normally order on the app due to mistakes I make not realizing it. read more

This location is either very good or very bad, there's really no in between. You just gotta test your luck when you go. Compared to other locations, this one is pretty skimpy when it comes to adding cream. Don't get me wrong I love me some strong coffee but I want what I ordered. On top of that some of the baristas are not very friendly. Overall Bulverde SB provides subpar service. read more

They NEVER have anything in stock. Literally zero food options today and no caramel. This isn't the first time they've been out of stuff either. How do you have a food and drink establishment without any food or drink items? This is also the SLOWEST Starbucks ever. It takes nearly 20-30 minutes to get through the line every time we come. read more

Please have your employees google your own menu items. I've ordered a Starbucks Doubleshot on ice at least half a dozen times and have received 4 oz of espresso in a large cup with ice every time read more

Was decent until recently.. staff change? Shift change? Ridiculously slow. Prepare for a twenty minute wait during peek times. I've been stuck in line and waited 30 minutes before. read more
