If you order decaf coffee at Starbucks and are told it's unavailable but offered a decaf Americano at a higher price, you may be experiencing false advertising and deceptive trade practices as outlined by the FTC. I've faced these practices for over 10 years at various locations nationwide, including this one, whenever I order decaf.

Matcha latte

I usually enjoy Starbucks matcha, but this time it was disappointing. The drink wasn't mixed at all I had to stir it myself, and even then, the powder was still clumpy. When I took a sip, the dry matcha powder went straight into my mouth. It was really unpleasant. I hope they can take more care in properly preparing matcha drinks next time.

Sometimes you just need a little pick me up and you want something pretty consistent. I don't come to Starbucks often but their sandwiches don't disappoint and I already know what I expect with their coffee. Their customer service is excellent as always. I only usually get a regular cold brew or a black hot coffee so you can't really mess that up!

Very disappointed in this Starbucks. The service was really bad. I couldn't redeem my coupon in store so I had to online order in store to get it. The barista was just staring at me without much help. The store manager was yelling at me that there is no coupon. But when ordered online everything worked out. No apologies from them. The pastry was the worst I've ever tasted. They put soy milk in my coffee even though I ordered whole milk. Argh! The bathroom was beyond disgusting!!! And this in a prime spot in downtown Burlingame.

I wanted to go to a 24 hour Starbucks, but decided against it. This Starbucks has always been one of my favorites, and has not disappointed me today. It's been a year almost since I set foot in here, I moved closer to the city. Well, I gym at the 24 hours in San Mateo, so, I think I will start coming here again for my favorite ice coffee with an extra shot and coconut milk with no sugar. The baristas at the register does her job well, and greeted me while helping the customer in front of me. The barista at the espresso machine called my drink out loud and clear by my name and drink and the drink taste Starbucks Standards. Which is a high bar, when I use to work as a shift supervisor. That is another story. Anyway, this establishment nestled in the heart of Burlingame will provide you with your caffeine put-stop and quickly have you back on your scheduled agenda for the day without skipping a beat. Please support this place and treat it kindly, for they put up with a lot and they will still offer you great service with a smile. Thanks guys!

Out of all the locations in the Bay Area I've been to this is my favorite . I work close to the store and go in daily. In the morning Travis and Princess always take care of me! When i need that afternoon pick me up Kaitlin always has great suggestions. I met the Store manager Jeanne and she made me feel so at home!

Dave looking annoyed that he had to do a refund.

You can't go wrong at Ceré Tea! I've been a handful of times, and I am consistently impressed with…read morethe quality of the drinks here. Every time I've walked by, there's a pretty sizable line (often extending out the door and around the corner) - but after trying it a few times, it's very clear why! They offer a wide variety of drinks spanning traditional espresso drinks, to matcha and hōjicha teas, to fruit teas and "tornados" (blended smoothies), so there is really is something for everyone! In the times I've been, I've tried their mango fruit tornado, earl grey matcha latte, a regular latte, and the black sesame matcha einspänner - and I've been impressed with each one! The drinks are thick, creamy, balanced, and always refreshing. They've been excellent for the warmer summer months, but some of their drinks are also available hot, which will be nice as we enter the cooler fall weather. The ordering system is fast and easy - just enter your order and pay on the kiosk, without needing to talk to the staff. And despite the often long lines, I've never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes for my drinks. Overall, this place is consistent, quick, and very tasty. If you need a refreshing pit stop on your way around downtown Burlingame, Ceré Tea is a great way to go!

$7.25 for the Osmanthus Matcha Latte. Matcha is pre made in batches. For an expensive price point,…read moreI would expect it to be freshly hand whisked. This drink is described as matcha, milk, and Osmanthus Syrup. I didn't taste any of the syrup, the drink wasn't sweet at all, which isn't bad but I paid extra for the flavored latte rather than plain and it just tasted like plain matcha. It did have some flower leaves in it though? Which was unexpected as I would think a syrup would have been strained. You also don't interact with anyone here, you order on an iPad. The table I sat to wait at was dirty.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Sama…read morehits the sweet spot of delicious drinks, good space to work, and decent surrounding parking options. The Rose Cardamom Honey Latte surprised me because I LOVED IT. It reminded me of a Vietnamese coffee in terms of coffee strength but balanced by sweetness. I was scared it would be too sweet or one flavor would be overpowered, but you can taste everything and the latte is very well balanced. My drink came out super fast after ordering at the register, and the decor is super aesthetic. Lots of good seating options and there are outlets for studying or working.

Sama Coffee Shop in San Mateo understands that a café can be more than a place to consume coffee;…read moreit can be an exercise in atmosphere and appetite. The room is quietly elegant, its Middle Eastern influences expressed through considered décor rather than theatrical excess. There is an appealing sense of decorum here; a place designed to encourage lingering rather than turnover. The coffee is similarly assured. Turkish coffee possesses the requisite depth and bitterness, while the rose-cardamom-honey latte introduces floral sweetness and spice with admirable restraint. The pastries and sweets--particularly the baklava and kunafeh--provide a luxurious counterpoint without descending entirely into confectionery excess. At roughly $10-$20 per person, Sama occupies a sensible price point for an experience that feels considerably more considered than the average neighborhood coffee shop. Sama is, ultimately, a café with a point of view and that is increasingly rare. The service was designed to provide you with a feeling that you're like a beloved family member. Eager to answer all questions asked and make you feel like you're at home.

I recently had some pastries and bread from Backhaus delivered to me via 4 hour express air mail…read more Also known as my wife flying some back for me on a recent business trip to Burlingame. I can't really say anything about the atmosphere or service since I didn't physically visit this store. What I can say, though, is that Backhaus serves some stellar baked goods from everything I was able to try. Kouign Amann ($6) - This pastry has a nice tighter brioche-like crumb, clearly constructed without trying to be a croissant like so many other bakeries. There's an excellent thin sugar glaze melted on the bottom. It almost shatters like glass and is not too sweet. Sugar soaks into a pocket on the interior, creating a sweet, soft, almost pudding-like texture. (5/5) Almond Croissant ($7.75) - Really open lamination, airy and chewy. Cut in half and slathered with a dark brown colored almond frangipane. It's by far the darkest rendition I've seen and seems to have higher moisture content than most, so it soaks into the croissant, creating a soggy texture. It's also not strongly almond in flavor for some reason. The sliced almond on top powers the pastry far more than the filling. The croissant is good but definitely not my favorite. (4/5) Croissant Loaf ($22) - At first I thought this croissant loaf was really expensive, but I think it's well worth the price. Firstly, it's quite long. I didn't measure it, but I'd guess it's baked in one of the larger pullman loaf pans, probably at least 16 inches. The interior, while not having as large honeycomb air pockets as a normal croissant, still flake apart easily into layers. The loaf is compressed a bit from being baked in the pan, rather than having the freedom to openly rise. It's deliciously buttery inside, while the exterior is a dark golden brown that flakes apart. Unfortunately they bag the loaf up, so the exterior flakiness softens due to the moisture trapped in the plastic. It's still an excellent croissant loaf and it works wonderfully in sandwiches, as French Toast, and eaten just by itself. (5/5) I wish Backhaus had been open back when I lived in the Bay. I will definitely visit in person next time I fly down.

Wow what a find! We arrived and the line was out the door 15 min after they opened (a good sign)…read more All of their pastries looked so good, we asked the woman working which were top sellers and she recommended any croissant or scone. We chose the blueberry oatmeal scone, which was delicious, tasted almost like a cookie. Also got the raspberry coffee cake which was not my favorite as the raspberry was pretty strong and overshadowed the coffee cake. Finally got the breakfast sandwich which was my favorite item. To drink we all got cardamom lattes, hot. For some reason the drinks came out extremely hot, like I couldn't even pick up my mug without burning my fingers. After it cooled down for 10 minutes, it was really good but perhaps the baristas need to adjust their milk frothing temperature? The space is really cool, they have an upstairs section and if you sit by the window you get a nice view of the outside. They do not have outlets, so it's not designed to sit at all day and study.
