This stop on my journey to every SB in Orange County is a very pleasant one. First, a high level of the consistent friendly and welcoming service, the CDM location, a small but comfortable indoor seating area, outdoor seating and excellent AC on an uncharacteristically toasty day for Newport Beach. My Ocean Drink was refreshing, although a bit more purple than blue today for some reason...still very good! read more

I felt so welcome to this Starbucks for some reason. It could have been the Barista, who looked so nice and looked me in the eye or the ease of ordering, knowing that she would get it right the first time. In any event, this Starbucks has a special feeling about it. It's not glam or hip, but has pesonality that I have never felt before. Being on Pacific Coast Highway helped and finding parking in front of the store were all pluses. I ended up getting a trenta ice tea, chocolate croissant and plain bagel. Nothing spectacular, but some of the items I love the most. read more

I have never left a review for a Starbucks before, but after coming to this CDM location several times, I felt I needed to share my experience. One thing I've noticed is how friendly the staff can be with many of their regular customers. I often hear cheerful "good mornings" when people walk in and friendly goodbyes like, "See you tomorrow." It creates a really welcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately, I haven't felt that same friendliness directed toward me. I'm often joking around and trying to make people laugh, and maybe I was a little too much of a goofball one day. If I rubbed someone the wrong way, that certainly wasn't my intention. Still, over several visits I've increasingly felt uncomfortable coming here. Today was the worst. The interaction felt especially cold and standoffish to the point that it almost seemed intentional. Of course, I can't know whether it actually was, but that's genuinely how the experience made me feel. After today, I've decided I won't be returning to this location. It's disappointing because this clearly can be a very friendly Starbucks. I just wish that same warmth and welcoming attitude were extended consistently to everyone who walks through the door. And just to be clear I have been many times to this location. read more

Great place friendly staff and nice outside seating. Food was prepared skillfully and they made a couple of special requests to my order.

Amazing service with fast team. Love the energy. I am getting my new protein matcha and will sure to get it again :)

I just had the nicest experience at our neighborhood Starbucks thanks to the manager Derek! Despite them being out of the item I ordered in the app, he was solutions oriented, professional, and generally delightful. Solutions oriented and even hand delivered my replacement order. He even shared some of their strategies to mitigate waste at that location. Wonderful. Thanks, Derek! read more

Didn't realize you have to purchase a drink to get a cup of water!! Wow. Not counting all the times we go in or drive thru for latte?? Ok my last time to Starbucks. read more

I came in just to get a simple cup of water. The girl at the cashier names Hailey or something was giving me such a stink eye. When I asked for the water she immediately looked at me and my friend and said are you gonna buy something? I understand that you want people to buy stuff, but a nicer way would have been "Of course anything else?" Customer service is a big part of this job and if you cant even do that you shouldn't have your job. We were gonna buy more stuff but that comment felt so degrading. I cant have caffeine so I choose water and get the food there. Make people feel welcome Hailey or whatever your name is because the way you made me and my friend feel was honestly degrading. read more

Terrible experience - stay away. Do Not Come to this location manager is super RUDE. Customer Service is very BAD. read more

Much Improved. My favorite Starbucks to hang on the patio and people watch. Finally back open for full service including the restrooms. Lots of women here with hand bag dogs. LOL read more

I mean you know what you are getting with a Starbucks. Placed my order, picked it up and it tasted exactly as I expected. Thank you for the consistency. Parking is limited but we walked in. Sat inside for a bit and ambiance is as expected in a Starbucks. Was busy. Team welcomed people in. All in all a great experience. read more

Very good customer service and amazing location. Certainly one of the best Starbucks in OC. read more

I asked for the iced pumpkin spice latte and they gave me the pumpkin cream chai. I kindly asked them if they were sure this was the pumpkin spice latte because I knew this is what the chai looked like and she told me that the drink I had was the coffee one. I asked if they were sure because it tasted like chai and she said yes and asked if I wanted the chai instead with attitude. I looked on the app and it was confirmed that what I got was not what I ordered but they made no effort to listen to me even when I asked nicely. read more

sophia really needs to smile more. i asked for an extra pump of pistachio in my cold form, she gave me a side eye. later, i asked for a sleeve for my drink, she threw it across the countertop. i understand we all have bad days, but it's not the customers fault, just do your job. read more

Customer service is nice and ambiance is relaxing. Will definitely come back here again. read more

1. Star for location / walkability to CDM beach 2. Service, even on their busiest and most stressful of days, I have not observed a barista respond with anger, outward frustration, or hostility 3. Consistency; though my orders are generally simple, I have not had a bad coffee or latte here 4. A place where I have seen "regulars" known by name or at least recognized - not necessarily ideal for intense work or study due to noise, seating arrangement, and general business/ also, they don't always give you your receipt or ask if you want it read more

Poor barista Valerie! This old white lady was really rude to her and she was very polite back.

Plenty of parking across the street at bagel shop and down the street. Lots of outdoor seating too if you just wana enjoy the coffee and people watch read more

Starbucks - Iced green tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Corona Del Mar, California

How do they always manage to make you feel like an inconvenience? Service with a snark. The only employees that seem to be genuine are the new hires that are doing their best while being mostly lost. It's almost like the last step in their training is to teach new employees how to mask arrogance with visibly fake and half hearted politeness. This level of misguided confidence is what I expect at an independent coffee shop, not a top 100 nasdaq corporation. Plus they are incredibly slow for a Starbucks. read more

The best coffee's! & customer service! Even when I pass other Starbucks I make sure to stop at this one. Great atmosphere & clean too ! Mike is awesome does very well at managing a rush, and going out of his way to make sure the drink & experience are top quality! (: read more

Hector was so kind! I left my wallet at home accidentally but he bought my drink for me so sweet! The drink was great too! The staff here is alway very nice!! read more

This is my favorite store and favorite crew! But... I had an incident with "Bob" this morning. "Bob" is a early morning regular, from the homeless community. Bob approached me to within 10 ft or so, used a few expletives, said he didn't like me and called me a "girl". I left shortly after the encounter. My provocation was looking at him. This was extremely uncomfortable for crew and customers alike. Up to today, "Bob" has been fairly innocuous, besides talking loudly to himself and making a mess at his table; This was fairly aggressive. Can we do something for the crew ? One team member said "I can't take this much longer" Thanks read more

Very welcoming, employees remember your name as a returning customer. Clean establishment and nice ambiance.

Great service good selection at reasonable prices. Clean restrooms and very comfortable seating lounge area for relaxing and getting work done. It's such a beautiful day here in the heart of Corona Del Mar. Please come and see for yourself what makes this a must visit little beach town by the Pacific coast. Live Love and Laugh today !!! read more

Ever since they remodeled the patio and interior it's so much better. People who work here are super friendly and tend to remember regulars and locals. Heat lamps on the patio are also great when it's cold out. Lots of dogs seen on the patio relaxing too. read more

Not sure why this isn't a 5 star Let's face it star bucks coffee is what it is so I'm ranking the location and Service. Location. Free parking on the street on behind the building. Nice size patio n reasonable inside. Place is always clean. Service is great. Very polite and efficient staff. read more

Easily my least favorite Starbucks, but when you absolutely desperately need some caffeine, you absolutely desperately need caffeine. I very rarely come here for the following reasons: They've never gotten my order right (pretty hard to mess up a very simple coffee with milk, btw.) There is zero parking here. As I leave, I almost always nearly get run over by some chick applying makeup while she's driving. Overall, it's in a pretty neighborhood. But pfft! I'll drive further away to get my caffeine fix. read more

Love this place! Its homey, the baristas are so funny and amazing, always making your experience the beat possible. It's not as busy as the Starbucks by fashion Island. This is located off the the PCH and Goldenrod. Turn on goldenrod and there is a garage with limited parking. Park on the right side, left is for employees. read more

Very nice medium sized Sbucks where I needed to stop by to get a cold drink after heading back from Dana Point! It's ask a great place to stop by to get on the grid to check to see if you have an email update and other online quick update before getting off the grid (for a foreigner with no data plan). You know from Starbucks that they are clean, modern and usually some interesting people lounging around and chilling. read more

We love this location and whoever is in charge of hiring at this location is an all star. Erin went above and beyond to help us and even gave the boys complimentary Fox pops for being well behaved. Either way Erin gets 5 stars for extraordinary service and being super friendly. I couldn't ask for more! read more

Very clean location, drinks were made just right, no complaints! Your standard Starbucks:)

The only reason this place even got a 2 and not a 1 is because Kevin is absolutely amazing and deserves the positive feedback. However, April and the other older lady working there this morning were the rudest baristas I've ever dealt with and I order from Starbucks 2-3 times a week. They really need some additional training on customer service. They could learn a thing or two from Kevin. Thanks for the great service Kevin! You are the only one making it worth to come to this Starbucks. read more

Whenever I'm on a walk to Laguna or Dana Point from Fashion Island I always stop here for a Iced Green Tea. I drink the first one and get a refill for the road. I enjoy relaxing on the patio for a bit. The restrooms are always clean. Service is fast and baristas are friendly. read more

It's a Starbucks. What could I possibly tell you that would add to your knowledge base. Coffee with a mermaid on the cup. It's big, clean, fireplace with a living room type setup with upholstered chairs. Food is always average so if you're hungry I'd suggest Bruegger's across the street or fro-yo next door. Park on the street OR there's a small underground garage - entrance on Goldenrod. read more

A surprisingly large starbucks for Corona Del Mar, where square footage is scarce. In such a great location - Pacific Coast Highway and Goldenrod. Vegetable juice shop to the South, bagel shop to the North, and tons of pet owners and their dogs and cyclists after a ride. A parking tip - forget the underground structure or parking on Goldenrod, and look for parking on Pacific Coast Highway, which is usually less scarce. read more

No problems here. Ordered a caramel macchiato and husband ordered venti coffee. Got coffee right away, short wait for macchiato. Employees were helpful and courteous. read more

Wow This is the best Starbucks in this area and They know how to make good coffee . Everybody is super nice and professional ! Thanks Katie , James ,Kevin :)) You rock !!! read more

This is a nice Starbucks! Comfortable chairs inside, patio seating outside, what more could you want? It's a perfect place to relax with the Sunday paper and enjoy some people watching. Otherwise, it's your standard Starbucks fare, only with more difficult parking. But you'll be able to hang out with the beautiful people of Corona del Mar, and maybe swing by Fashion Island for some upscale shopping on your way back to the ghetto. read more

This place is literally always out of something. It's so frustrating coming in the morning to find them already out of plain bagels or out of stock of all their valentines items. They're consistent with wait times and their attitudes aren't unfriendly- not friendly either, but not unfriendly. It's just an average coffee place. But seriously, get your manager to pay closer attention to the orders. You're literally out of bagels before 1pm every day. read more
