    Happy 2024 Red Cup Day!
    Jenny C.

    Challenge accepted when visiting my local Starbucks, when I remember (of course), I love that Starbucks has made it so easy to bring my own cup. :) This Starbucks located corner entrance of plaza shared with other businesses so traffic off Bristol can be congested (particularly when exiting from the drive-thru route). The interior is a standard layout with 8+ small two-seater tables. But what really makes my recent visits stand out is the friendly service from the staff. I've got to give a special shout-out to the lead male barista, who works Friday mornings, forgot to catch his name, who's when not too busy always offer suggestions on drinks. Not only is he super friendly and efficient, but he's always happy to go the extra mile to make my "standard" iced shaken espresso a little more special. One day, he suggested adding a packet of sea salt and a drizzle of caramel -- and it was perfect. I am now a proud owner of a customized drink!! Yippee ;) I really enjoyed the slight customization so had it twice this week!

    Made a pit stop here before heading to the beach, line moved fairly quickly. The barista who took my order spoke very fast, it was a little hard to understand if she'd gotten everything right when repeating the order back to me. However when I pulled up to the pick up window everything was correct. Just wish she'd slow down a little more. I ordered my go to Starbucks drink, along with a cake pop for the kid. Everything was as expected from a Starbucks.

    They have Drive TrU so this is how i always describe acceptable Starbucks. JK! Its also close by freeway and it could get busy. The employees are so sweet...I think who works in this type if places are very smiley...Just imagine being there and smell delicious coffee smell all the time...This is my opinion cuz I adore coffee smell. The ambiance is chill but not modern one. It seems they didn't remodel it for decade but store itself was pretty clean. Also, there is parking outside plenty of spots.i order lavender matcha and it was so delicious... I also tried my friend frape and it was good...We ended up paying $15+tax for the largest size i think its trente if im not wrong. Anyway as usual i got the largest size they had....it was a pleasant stop because i needed 40 min to charge my tesla and i enjoyed every minute of jt!

    On a hot day like this nothing better than a Starbucks black iced tea I like this location cuz it's easily accessible in my area only thing is it wasn't very busy when I went in today and I did have to wait a little longer than I should have just for a nice tea but I'm not going to complain to the staff

    Major points for being open promptly at 4;30 am Sunday morning. Ow. That had to hurt. Confections were hat and consistent. Dark roast good. I tend to patronize Peet's due to the following: Starbucks espresso machine setup rarely gives me a good crema. Today 2 shots. No crema. That sweet crema would-da make a miserable morning a lot better. Whasnt surprised. It's all Starbucks. Poor to no crema.

    Consistently friendly and always gets my pink drink the perfect color pink. Always clean and again soo important is the friendly factor. :) see you soon.

    One of my favorite locations. The staff are pleasant. I usually receive my order quickly. If you have the loyalty rewards, Starbucks offers a drink of your choice on your Birthday.

    New New remodeled store .. Wow!! Very nice. (See picture inside all new store) Great location near John Wayne Airport. My order Americana & classic coffee cake. Great! Efficient inside counter order service.

    They're always super nice in here! No matter how busy. And they have always gotten our orders right. There is plenty of parking, which is good, because the shopping plaza is usually very busy.

At the Costa Mesa location, parking was a little tricky at first, but after circling we got lucky with a corner spot. The location itself is SO cute! It's right next to colorful barrel fountains, and on a sunny day it honestly felt like the perfect coffee outing. The line was pretty long and you are standing in direct sun, so just keep that in mind, but the service was quick and efficient once you order. Inside, it's small but really charming, with Sunny Angels hidden around and a very open, friendly vibe. My sister (who is basically a professional coffee drinker at this point ) got the matcha and said it was her favorite, which says a lot. I got the iced Spanish latte with oat milk, and it was SO good. Spanish lattes are my go-to, and this one had the perfect hint of cinnamon without being overly sweet. Even as the ice melted, it still tasted great, which is rare. The Torrance location was just as good! Parking was easier, the space is bigger, and the service was still super friendly and fast. My husband got the cold brew "Nook way" and finished it in like 10 minutes. He said it tasted like Golden Grahams cereal. Highly recommend both locations and especially the Spanish latte. Definitely worth the visit!

    I wouldn't say I'm a hard person to please when it comes to cafés but I do think a 4/5 is an…read moreaccurate rating. Drinks (4/5): - There was a standard selection of drinks and I decided to get the double matcha. It was not bad by any means. However, I did feel that it was a bit sweeter than how I typically like it with what tasted like hints vanilla (possibly the cream?). - I later checked some reviews and saw that sweetness is something other's have noted. Interior (4/5): - There is a lot of space which is great! There are many small coffee tables to sit and chat, a plethora of larger 1/2 seater tables to do work at, and a large cross shaped table in the center which can definitely seat a lot of people. - This space would have honestly been at the top of my list in terms of interior if not for one thing: the temperature. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't sweating buckets or anything but it was a ~90 degree day outside and I feel like I expected it to be a little cooler inside than what it was. Service (4/5): - Standard service overall, staff was respectful and nice. The only thing I have in mind to note was a mild lack of urgency by the baristas to attend to customers. - I ended up sitting closer to the register and over time I noticed that most customers would wait a bit of time before being helped. - It doesn't seem like they have the largest team (2-3 people) so I understand if it's busier, but by my observation it was never busy enough to have people be waiting to give their order. At the end of the day solid cafe overall though. Would still come again to try different drinks with the staff's opinion on sweetness, but maybe not to do a lot of work on a hot day .

Inside has a lovely, jungle-y maximalist vibe with live plants all over the place and as its kinda half greenhouse, abundant natural light. My matcha was solid and my husband enjoyed his coffee. We were a little surprised that some of the hot foods were pre-packaged; per the staff prepared the night or day before and then brought in a warmed up; something like this? Not all breakfast items were available on the menu when we were there (in the morning) - a little confusing, as the staff implied it was based on timing of a delivery or preparation or something? Regardless, ample indoor and outdoor seating and within walking distance of some of the hotels around there.

But the Mint Mojito Coffee is in a completely different league. It's unlike anything I've ever had. If there were a Philz Coffee closer to my house, I would honestly buy it every single day. It's easily one of my all-time favorite coffees. The Philz Coffee across from South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa can get pretty busy, so parking isn't always easy during peak hours. Luckily, you can order ahead on the mobile app and simply pick it up. My favorite part is taking that very first sip while it's freshly handcrafted before putting the lid back on. That first taste always makes me happy. The friend I brought with me ignored my recommendation and ordered a cold brew instead. After a few minutes, I convinced them to try just one sip of my Mint Mojito Coffee... and that was the last sip I got. They loved it so much that they practically claimed the rest of my drink. The staff are friendly, and while there isn't a lot of indoor seating if you're planning to work on your laptop, there is a nice patio where you can sit and relax. It's a great spot to catch up with friends over an amazing cup of coffee. If you're visiting Philz for the first time, do yourself a favor and order the Mint Mojito Coffee. You can thank me later.
