The Carp Starbucks is nice. It's always clean, they make a great coffee PERFECTLY to order and it isn't crowded like all of the other Starbucks. There is ALWAYS parking, you all. They seem to run out of ingredients a little more often than other locations, some of it because of the troubles of the pandemic, but I can't complain one bit about this location. Fewer people in line means greater attention to detail. I can dig it. I love it. I love you. Thank you, Carp Starbucks. read more

What a disappointment! The coffee is reliably good at Starbucks, as always. The service, on the other hand, was awful. The one young lady at the register was more engaged in chit chatting with her co-workers than helping customers. While taking my order, she continued talking to a male co-worker, never took my name, and her lack of focus left me unknowing when my ordering was finished. Some customer service training might go a long way for this crew, though the failure was primarily with the person on the register. read more

Awww Carp Starbucks you have been terrific until today. I ordered online, the wait said 8-12 minutes. I got there at 10 minutes knowing I would need to wait a few minutes. But while waiting I counted 8 people either waiting for an online order or waiting to order. There was only one girl trying to do it all. Meanwhile, I peer in the back to see 3 employees chatting away. No one came out to help for a good 5 minutes. When they did there was not a care in the world that people were waiting. The first of my online order came 5 minutes after the pickup time and after figuring out my cappuchino was already finished and just sitting next to the espresso machine, I finally just asked for it. I'm disappointed. But I'll be back, I have faith it will return to the sweet place I love. . read more

Not surprised to see that the other bad reviews of this location are based on the customer service, because it was absolute trash!! The only nice and courteous person was the young man taking orders. Very apologetic about the wait as he was taking orders and fulfilling online orders at the same time. He kept his cool and was very friendly the staff making drinks and the manager absolutely horrible! They looked miserable mad and rude. Not one other person there acknowledged anyone just keep an angry look on their face and ignored everyone. They where busy lots of orders coming I understand that can be overwhelming but being courteous shouldn't go out the door. My order was simple one drink. I saw the staff working hard to get the drinks done after waiting a little over 10 mins I noticed a few drinks ready, again the young man working the front was working hard and I asked if he could check if my drink was ready because my husband and daughters where waiting in the car for me. He politely said yes, he didn't see my drink so he asked the girls apparently my drink was sitting on the counter for sometime but these girls never called it out. I thanked the young man but told the girls that I understood they where busy but still needed to call out the order. Obviously there is a problem at this location as the other reviews are similar. read more

The morning girls constantly make the drinks taste awful compared to other locations lack of friendly customers service not willing to be helpful when drinks are made wrong a joke read more

This place is the worst starbucks I have ever been to. All the workers just talk and not focus on their job when I waited almost 30 minutes for a drink. They need better staff and better time management because some people have places to be. It was so upsetting watching them laugh and talk and do nothing for the majority of the time when it caused me to be late for work. Usually it takes 10 minutes but it took at least 30. I questioned why it was taking so long if there was at least 10 people in the same area. Then I looked and they were just standing around talking with each other. Not to mention my drink was watered down. I am never coming here again and I hope they get better staff members. DONT come here if u want ur drink made fast. read more

Service is terrible, they avoid eye contact and dont want to answer questions. I waited 15 minutes for an iced tea i mobile ordered 10 min prior to arrival, the cafe was NOT busy. This girl barely even looked at me when i asked where my tea was, said she would check without even getting my name. Apparently becausey order was ready behind her and had been sitting for at least 5 minutes. No apology or anything just attitude and a blank stare. Shorter with long brown hair and earrings. Don't recommend read more

The food is delicious and the drinks are refreshing. The staff is friendly, and the establishment is well-kept and tidy. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carpinteria, California

The baristas were so nice! Had a lovely experience stopping on our road trip, and the drinks were delicious too!

Stopped by on our way out of town last night as Dear Hubby had a Starbucks craving. He went in while I waited in the car. We'd done a lot of walking and I was ready to rest. I have been inside in the past. It's a smaller location in a shopping plaza away from the beach and the downtown area. It's not far off the freeway. Established before drive-thru Starbucks became so popular, this location has indoor and outdoor seating. Our Frappuccino was frosty and delicious; a great summer's evening treat. read more

Mocha Frappuccino with no whip. I had not even taken a sip yet and the drink settled to almost half of what should have been in the Grande size cup. Next time please fulfill your portions better to accommodate the actual size. Such robbery. read more

Young Man & Young Girl working together tonight for closing shift.. on September 1st, 2022 I was waiting inside Starbucks in line behind a couple to order.. young man with glasses behind the register told me that the register all of a sudden stopped working & said it's a minute before 9pm by the time he decided to say something to me. When I had been waiting for over 5 mins before 9pm as he still took the couple in front me order & still made their drinks. I wouldn't recommend coming to this Starbucks Customer service is horrible & the young man & girl both refused service for no reason as they seen me waiting. AGAIN THIS IS ON September 1st, 2022 Why even lie and say the register stopped working and still take another persons order! & make their drinks right in front of me. read more

Very noisy and crowded/overrun with VC Students! Poor service, long wait times for order!

This STARBUCKS is the most packed store in Carpinteria always lot's of teenagers male and female. but can't really complain because even if its a small town there are plenty of parking spots around, and including many patio seating outside and inside, cashiers are really fast during sunset hour. and the manger makes the drinks really good , I always wait for the manger to be there because she is so friendly and kind.!!!!! read more

Very rude cashier! Didn't accept cash. Didn't have half of my order! Long waiting time!!

Starbucks is a known entity. That said, this isn't one of the better ones. It's too small for the number of patrons and needs a more regular cleaning. There must have been 25 coffee drinkers packed into this Starbucks this morning. The order line was pinched between the pastry counter and a rack of stuff to buy (mugs, packaged coffee, etc). There weren't enough seats, and the floor needed a sweeping. Corporate should move this to a larger location. This one is showing its age. read more

This Starbucks is not only poorly run, it is dangerous to be in. The sign in the store reads they support social distancing and want only 6 persons in the store at a time. The picture tells a different story. There were 12 people crammed in this store some of who h you don't see in the Pic. They also got 3 orders completely wrong just in the time in I was there. They need a total clean out of management here. read more

Starbucks - Overcrowding in Carpenteria Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carpinteria, California

Dear Starbucks Co. I drink your coffee when I'm in a pinch due to your baristas' lack of coffee knowledge and poor attitude. The lack of customer service has only increased with current Covid-19 regulations. You know... I'm so ticked off, I'm not even going to bother further. read more

2nd time in a month. They cannot make a chai tea latte! Received mobile order. It was milk basically. No flavor. The kicker? A piece of sugar packet left inside cup! I asked if they could remake it. So they use same cup, add chai, put lid back on. What?!?? Touching all over cup and it was lukewarm. They did not make a fresh one! Sanitary much?? I trashed it. Lucky llama getting my business now! read more

Very good Starbucks right in the heart of Carpinteria. They were super busy but I got my drinks FAST!!!!!! I was impressed that the barista used my name several times during the transaction and she took the time to clarify my order. My drink came out perfect and just how I ordered. Thanks for another lovely visit Starbucks! read more

I usually come in before 7am each Friday. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful when IDK what to order. Beverages are served within a good time frame and the order is always correct. Specifically, I want to recognize Stephen and Gigi for their amazing customer service and friendly attitudes. read more

Worst Starbucks, ever. Writing this review from inside the store. Spent a LONG time waiting in line. The cashier Ricky didn't understand our order 2x, a supervisor came over to help him enter Stevia for our drink. That's not an uncommon request, I think he was in training. With the line nearly extended to the front door, probably safe to say they were understaffed and perhaps a slower cashier should not be used during busy time. Come to my order. According to the same employee that helped cashier enter Stevia into order system, she said their blender was broken and they could not make foam for the pumpkin cream cold brew. Seemed very unapologetic and just said I could get a refund. Refund given, waited for my mom's portion of the order; I left empty handed because of their short commings. A refund, apology, and a "would you like something else for the inconvenience" would have gone a long way considering how dragged out this road trip detour was. Avoid this location. read more

They had a barista doing busy work and not making drinks. Mobile orders that came in way after I placed my in store order were made with priority. All I got was iced tea with light ice and light water. The barista that made mine did extra water and regular ice - she was extra heavy on ice for all other drinks. When I asked her why, she was extremely rude. My iced tea tastes like water. So glad I wasted time and $4.25 for water read more

Great location for a Starbucks, near the water and shopping. The service was fast and my drink was served to me correctly. The wait person was courteous and friendly. They do have a gender neutral bathroom, which seems to be the question of the year. There was an outside table for customers that was covered and very quiet. Some folks had their mini-greyhound rescue dog there. The dog was too cute. I like to be able to go into a place when I am traveling and know what to expect. Thanks Starbucks Carpenteria! read more

Worse Starbucks ever! Had to use mobile ordering as their main cashier ordering method was not working. The bathroom had no toilet paper/toilet seat covers were gone , no paper towels and when I asked for napkins they said they were out. Such a disappointment sorry read more

Came here late on the drive home from NorCal. Employees were friendly and our drinks were made perfectly to order. Line went quickly and drinks were made quickly. Granted it was pretty late at night however some Starbucks are slow even with a short line but these baristas made our drinks quickly even though the line was short. Great job! read more

Tonight I went to Starbucks in Carpinteria at 8:40 I wanted Match green tea Frappuccino but I can't because when the young girl asked me what size and I answered Venti She told me I don't have any matcha ,!!!!!!! I think she wanted to go her home !!!!!!! So I have to drive to Ventura to buy it ! read more

I was asked to leave for not having a mask. I was happy to wait for my coffee outside so I asked if they could notify me while I wait outside. They said no I can not let you know when your coffee is ready. They were extremely rude. On top of it they were wearing clothing affiliated with a political movement that was found to be offensive. I would not recommend this Starbucks. read more

The kids working there spend more time chatting with each other than actually doing their job. Not to mention they mess up the orders. Who is the manager? read more

Very rude especially manager, goes off on anyone who tries to return their drink if doesn't taste goood or made right. Manager screams at customers in front of everyone making a scene. Don't go get there if your particular about your order they won't accommodate you unless you want to pay a hefty fee for that. Place is awful. read more

Why do you ask for names when you aren't going to call out names? Baristas creates the drinks and places them on the counter. Am i going to just assume it's my drink and go ahead and touch someone else's drink? With covid still being an issue, how is this not being addressed. Kept saying excuse me and they couldn't hear me over their personal conversations that's the workers were having. I asked for a double shot and they only gave me a single. When I asked who's drink that is, the barista said "idk there's no make" what the hell. Who's managing this location? Clearly nobody. read more

Hard not to give a good review to Starbucks because I love my lattes, however...this particular Starbucks makes my soy latte no foam a different way every time! How, I don't know...It's a very easy drink! Staff is not friendly which is sad for such a small town. read more

This is a common stopping place while traveling to LA (they call me the urinator like it's my super power lol) The Fireman can get a quick coffee and I can use a restroom. They only have one (The Fireman says I should be yelping restrooms since I habitat them each visit lol) and it's male/female plus being only one and there's always a line I find it on the dirtier side. As far as service for Starbucks, the baristas were so so friendly. You could tell the holiday "weekend" was enough. It's just ok. read more

Went into Starbucks today for my usual Venti Caramel Frappuccino , I had the pleasure of interacting with Justin, I told him that I was 3 stars away from getting my next reward on the Starbucks app and wanted to know the fastest way to get 3 stars he told me a few different ways but it was so confusing for myself that he just hooked me up with a drink on the house.. I have never had anyone do this for me and I come to Starbucks all the time. Super grateful for what he did this guy definitely knows how to show good customer service!!! Thanks again Justin I owe you one!!!! read more
