Excellent and fast service here as always! I love ordering ahead and either picking up inside or through the drive-thru. Really easy to find parking or go through drive-thru. Any baristas I have interacted with are all very kind and helpful! My most recent visit, my drink was perfect. Not only was it ready under the projected time but it was delicious. Their quality is great! read more

Iced Caramel Brûlée Latte, I asked for a Tall and for it to be half sweet. It's still prominently sweet and very milk. There's no espresso in this at all, or at least that's what it doesn't taste like. (Tastes like caramel milk). I wasn't sure if I was allowed to ask them to remake it because I already left the premises before I tried the drink. I feel bad because something like this should only cost $2 and it cost me ~$6.25 (something like that). I think tall sizes should be ~$5.25-$5.75 at most. The people today were kind, but quiet. Space was clean and they got drinks out fast. Maybe prioritizing speed over quality. I kind of have to come back since it's the only coffee shop in the area, but if it wasn't I wouldn't. One day, I'll be more brave and ask them to remake the drink -- this was way too milky and sweet. 2 stars for the drink quality today(: ...but usually I give 4 stars for the entire experience. read more

I'm not in this part of Del Mar often, but when I am, I always make a point to stop at this Starbucks. The location is great--easy to get to, and the vibe is relaxed and welcoming. The staff is super friendly, the store is always clean, and the service is quick and consistent. Huge shoutout to whoever wrote a kind message on my drink--it honestly made my day. It's those little thoughtful touches that keep me coming back. Whether you're on your way to the beach, grabbing a pick-me-up before a walk, or just passing through, this Starbucks is worth the stop. Thank you again for the great service and positive vibes! read more

Starbucks - Sweet writing - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Del Mar, California

Quick friendly service! It's a fairly quiet Starbucks. Easy for working. I had the cheese box which was pretty good. One grape was not good. Not bad odds, if you ask me. My green tea was delicious and bold tasting, not watered down, which I appreciated very much. I worked here for a few hours without issues. Free WiFi. read more

This is my tried and true Starbucks when I start my early shift in San Diego. I'm a commuter from OC and this is the most efficient drive thru Starbucks closest to my job. The line moves and the drinks are always consistent. The best part is when you leave and take the beautiful scenic route to Torrey pines. read more

My local Starbucks, I come here more than I'd like to admit. Probably everyday for the past three years. Workers are very friendly and most of the time they even recognize me on the camera in the drive thru lol, they remember my name and my order which is nice. Store is well kept and clean. Overall, my favorite Starbucks by far! read more

Friendliest Starbucks employees I've encountered in a long time. Drinks and vibes were perfect! 10/10!

Came to this location asked why my veniti cup was not filled up to the top. They took my drink said they will fill it up. Then was asked what should they fill it up with. That is not my job. The drink should be filled up to the top. Was given back the same venti cup. Not coming back. Bad customer service. read more

The drive-thru is convenient. The service and the wait time were decent. I gambled and ordered the new iced matcha green tea lemonade (venti: $4.45) and instantly regretted it. The sour and vegetal, sweet flavors clashed, 5/10 rating. Get the iced matcha green tea latte instead, or iced lemonade separately. read more

Starbucks - Venti iced matcha green tea lemonade ($4.45): Clash of flavors, 5/10 rating. Get the iced matcha green tea latte instead. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Del Mar, California

Very good drinks, the food and other items are hit or miss in terms of freshness. The service is pretty fast here, which is good on a busy Saturday morning. The decor has a traditional, but modernized Starbucks kind of look. Employees seem genuinely happy, if a bit exhausted, but it didn't impact their swift service. Overall, great job! read more

Starbucks - Salted Caramel cold cream brew, Trena size. 5/5 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Del Mar, California

This Starbucks has a drive thru and is always convenient to grab coffee before work. The store is always clean and the staff is so incredibly kind. The team did something super sweet for my teachers. Shout out to the team! read more

they got the order wrong 2 times and the service was horrible. we told the person to add strawberry juice in it but completely forgot

I love coming here to get some work done. The staff are super friendly, and my cold brew is always on point. The place is always clean and well-kept, which makes it even easier to settle in and focus. Definitely my go-to spot! read more

I loved my experience! Starbucks is my go to spot before Sunday meets. I got to meet another car person too who works there! Amanda was so sweet and quick to get my order out and made sure my cream was correct because too much not my thing. For 5 in the morning they were all awake and alert and the most important thing, cared. Amanda showed me photos of her car and I love how they're just human and people. They want to do just more than get your coffee. Well I'll be back every Sunday thank you! read more

Unfortunately always very busy. Drive thru line is always wrapped around the building anytime of day. Parking lot is already a terrible design. Staff is never friendly. When I say "thank you" or "have a good day" they usually just stare at me. Drinks tends to be a hit or miss. read more

I ordered 2 drinks and a snack total was 12.78 I give the boy at the drive thur 50$ he give me back 32.22 $ instead of 37.22 I didnt realized he got got my $5 until I got home which was far away from where this Starbucks was. Next time take your time and count people money right read more

Well, I think this is one of my Starbucks. Not just because of the convenient location, but the friendly service (especially compared to at least one other Starbucks I've been to). Sometimes come here when working remotely, (even though I live across the street), but today I was helped by Dylan, who was very energetic, friendly, and courteous. I'll be sure to keep coming back to this one! read more

Came by on Sunday to try the cloud macchiato. SERVICE - The cashier was nice even though she wrote down our drink incorrectly. DRINK Caramel Cloud Macchiato - I am not a coffee drinker but I wanted to try this because of the foam. I actually really enjoyed it as it made the espresso creamy and took away the bitterness. read more

Much better experience yesterday. Early in the am, line of cars, but I went inside. They made my double espresso fast and I was on my way!

They've always made my online orders fairly quickly and rarely mess up! Always hard working and friendly employees!!

This location is in a great spot, and they also have a drive through which is convenient. I have been to many very busy Starbucks where they have the flow going and you can get in and out pretty quickly. When I came here a couple of weeks ago, there were two people ahead of me and yet it took forever to get my drink. There was also one car at the drive through. There were three people behind the counter and one of them seemed so stressed and she was running around in a frenzy like she was under so much pressure to get drinks out during the very slow and quiet time I was there. Because she was so stressed and flustered she was moving things around and doing a whole lot of nothing except stressing the other two staff members out as well. If we are ever allowed to leave our homes again (I am writing this during the COVID-19 era), the staff at this store need to go and be trained at the Starbucks down the road in the Highlands shopping center where they are actually busy and yet get people in and out quickly and the drinks are made perfectly every time. read more

Starbucks - a woman in a green apron working in a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Del Mar, California

Saturday 3:30pm - wasn't even busy. Specifically aimed at the blonde girl with long hair and a silver nose ring in her right nostril. Can't tell you her name cause half her name tag was rubbed off. I ordered ahead: 2 drinks and 2 spinach feta wraps I walk in to see 3 out of the 4 items I stand there while all the workers avoid eye contact. Like helloooo?? I'm the only NEW customer that just walked in I'm the only STANDING customer at the mobile pick up area Clearly if my order was complete or if I didn't have issues, I'd take my order and go.. but no, I'm still standing here????? Anyone wanna ask why?? No?? Blonde girl is making food in the back so I think maybe one of those is my spinach wraps. I continue to stand patiently waiting She hands the food to another girl for the drive thru customers Second girl finally asks me if I need help Wow what gave that away??? I said yeah, I'm missing a spinach wrap She says let me go make that.. *checks the fridge and there isn't any. Proceeds to ask blonde girl if we have any Blonde girl says, oh yeah I forgot to tell you guys that we don't have anymore That's great you were gonna tell your coworkers, how about telling the CUSTOMER WHO IS MISSING ONE IN THEIR ORDER????? I'm like okay can I get something else? I already paid??? The reason I ordered ahead is to not wait Totally defeated the purpose cause of their incompetence read more

Dylan is beyond amazing! She is so patient! Our office out in a large order and she was so sweet and patient with us! Perfect customer service! People like her definitely make a great impression! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Del Mar, California

One of the slowest Starbucks Drive thrus in Southern California. Especially for one that isn't that busy. 10 car line and it took 68minutes to place the order. Another 13 minutes to get the order. If you have the option Drive down south or go to the grocery store right next door and avoid the atrocious wait. The stick you see while stuck in the drive thru is appropriate, "slow living". read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Del Mar, California

Truly the only reason we come here is because we live down the street. We know almost every employee at this location. They are all very friendly especially Anna who we found out is moving soon. One young employee in particular is always very much not friendly and gives an attitude when we get him. We know it's him over the intercom because it's such a downer voice almost like he's beyond tired. He does get orders wrong alot and is really awkward when engaging with customers. His name is Chase I believe. Im sure with some council and guidance he can change his entire personality haha. read more

Extremely disappointed in a recent visit. The sign on the door said only the drive through was available to purchase drinks. My wife was there to view and purchase some merchandise so she knocked and asked if she can take a look. The guy came to the door and proceeded to say "I'm short staffed and have been turning people away, do you expect me to open the door for just you?" There is a right and wrong way to say things and in my opinion this was the wrong way to do it. The gentleman was completely unprofessional and rude. Love Starbucks but not this one. read more

I tried the new pineapple refresher and was not disappointed, there is a nice shopping center in the same area. read more

Starbucks - Pineapple refresher - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Del Mar, California

This is a very busy Starbucks on the account it has a drive thru and is located not to far off the Interstate 5. It's smaller inside than most, but does offer a nice size patio right out in front. I stopped in after having breakfast nearby to correct a number of exams. I ordered a Grande Americano and a coffee cake which I had warmed and told them it was for "here." However they still put the coffee cake in a bag so I had to ask them for a plate and fork. I don't think they listen very well. Anyways, the coffee cake was very good and came nice and warm. It was moist throughout and had a nice cinnamon crumble on top. The Americano was okay. It was a little harsh and not as smooth as I am used too, but it certainly had the kick I needed to get my paper work done. I added a little half and half and that seemed to help a bit with the harshness. The you lady at the counter was very nice, but when I asked for a plate one of the other employees, for some reason, was not as receptive. I could tell she felt put out, but I just wanted a plate. read more

Dylan is absolutely phenomenal! She is so patient, kind, always smiling, happy! she needs to be a manager wow! I go in for her.

This SB was Built from ground up so it was fun to see the construction over the months . The drive thru looks efficient and isn't too busy this Saturday as I'm sitting inside the coffee shop . One issue is the temperature inside. It's nice and cool outside but hot and stuffy inside . It's almost unbearable . Barista seemed uninterested when I stood there in front of him waiting for him to say something but oh well . The tall drip coffee tastes bitter and strong but I think all their drip coffees taste that way . I'd return but hopefully they can turn on the air inside bc I'm perspiring as I type this. read more

Came for coffee and a feta wrap and one of their ovens was down so food was coming out slowly. I told them it's fine and sat quietly to wait. Without any nudge or hassling, the kind you g batista with auburn hair and bangs (didn't see her nametag) came up and gave me a small gift card just for having to wait for my food! It was so sweet and unnecessary but I appreciated the gesture and her customer service very much read more

This is your typical Starbucks and is conveniently located in Del Mar near the 5 freeway off of Del Mar Heights on the west side! There is plenty of parking in the shopping center which is a plus. This place has great service and a nice place to chill and hang out at with ample seating inside. The service was sweet and my drink was perfect on the nice day that I came by to get my sip on, espresso delight.~ read more

Starbucks - Venti Iced Blonde Americano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Del Mar, California

This Starbucks doesn't get the credit they deserve! Every morning I walk in greeted by at least 3 employees saying "good morning!" and "welcome in!" I usually order on the app and my drink is always ready when I get there. One of the ladies there (can't remember her name, but she has long, blonde hair) always makes my day. Her upbeat personality is infectious and I can tell she truly goes out of her way to make peoples day. I will say though, because it's also a drive thru Starbucks, things can get a little backed up at times (rightfully so) so prepare to wait a little longer if you order inside or at the drive thru. Keep doing what y'all are doing. You're killing it, Mango! read more

Its very nice to have a coffee place right next to your house and its even better to have one with a drive-thru window when you are in the rush, or you just don't feel like getting out of your car... or on your way to work. One thing about this Starbucks, its not very cozy inside, not much seating area, just a few bar height tables with chairs. There is more seating on the outside patio, although the furniture could've been nicer, like a patio couch sets like they got in other location around SD. read more

I normally don't write reviews for anything but I stopped into this Starbucks today with my wife and our baby and the barista here was the best!Mar was one of the most genuinely kind and awesome people I've met in a while.

Today, I was feeling very down. Not the best of days at work. After work, I decided to head on through a drive thru at Starbucks. This sweet barista by the name of Grace asked me how my day was going. Feeling down I replied, Not the best of days for me. She replied sincerely, I am so sorry. I hope your day gets better. I also hope this Starbucks drink will brighten your day. She then asked me to wait one moment while she grabbed my croissant. When she returned she also had a mini cake pop inside a bag with the kindest message reading, I hope this can brighten your day. We U. I felt so loved in that moment. Thank you so much Grace. That truly brightened my day. Its the simple little things people do for others that make the biggest of differences. Blessing to you and your co workers. Mary Mullen read more

Yes drive through very friendly. Food not sure since I had only coffee lattes. I really don't understand how each of the Starbucks operates and how the barristers are trained. For example, I ordered my usual holiday chestnut praline latte and noticed my drink was 3/4 filled and that's with the whip cream. Seriously?!? I am actually paying a grande price for a tall. When I get it from other Starbucks I really get my actual grande except in this particular location. Anyways I should reconsider coming here unless desperate for 1/2 lattes. read more
