    Customer service was outstanding! I didn't catch the name of the barista, but he shares the same music taste as my daughter on Tyler, the Creator! He prepared our delicious drinks and made our experience extra special. Thank you!

    I ordered a Venti Hot Chocolate and they didn't even fill it up all the way. So annoyed. I didn't order a grande, I got a venti.

    I had ordered a Venti hot chocolate and they only filled it up about 70%. How ridiculous. I didn't order a Grande, I ordered a Venti. Very disappointed. Also, the barista was a bit unfriendly.

    This a nice new Starbucks featuring a drive thru, a walk up window, and a inside seating area, but they really need to make sure when they make an espresso based drink that they are smoother than they put out. The Venti Americano that I ordered had a harsh finish which made it unpleasant to drink black. I had to add quite a bit of whole milk to mellow out. They are either over extracting or under extracting the espresso. They need to test what they extract more often. The servers and baristas were all very nice and upbeat at this new location.

    A 'full' chocolate cookie crumbl' . Yes it did taste like chocolate water not like a frap at all.

    Today 8/11/23 I decided to spend some of my hard earned money on a Starbucks treat before work. I was very excited as it had been months since I'd been able to get Starbucks. This location recently under went renovations so I was excited to see how it worked out. I placed my order at the speaker and the worker was very unfamiliar with the menu. Okay maybe they're new . I pull up to the window after waiting behind a car, normal, and the worker has to ask me to repeat my order three times, I was confused having already given and confirmed my order at the speaker. Again whatever maybe they're new. I get my drink a tall chocolate cookie crumbl, it's not even filled up all the way, so almost $6 bucks and they can't make sure the correct amount is in the cup? I bring it to the workers attention they say oh it's the whipped cream (?) okay? Then the automatic windows shut. I see the worker turn to her co worker and make a comment about the question I asked about the drink not being filled all the way, to confirm my suspicions the other worker looks at me and starts laughing. The windows re open I let them know I do not think the situation and or comment were very funny. This really irritates me as I like most Starbucks customers and workers, work hard for my money. To spend part of my budget on something that ended up smaller than it should have been and really not tasting very good at all (chocolate water). It's very upsetting but the worst part is being laughed at, in my face. I am not sure I'll be returning to any Starbucks if this is the new normal.

    Inside, so clean!

    New Starbucks location in El Cajon! And it has a drive thru! And I'll still send that "so much traffic, I'll be at work as soon as I can" as I'm waiting in the Starbucks line text :) This new location is super clean, well stocked, has plenty of ingredients to make all your favorite drinks and the service is above and beyond. I came in to get my tik tok famous iced coffee and it was made to perfection. This staff is ready to make your caffeinated heart happy. The girl who took my order, wonderful. Friendly and happy to be there. Daniel, the barista who made my drink, super positive attitude. I mentioned to him that this new location was super close to my house and he said he was happy to have us as regular customers. The drive thru is not open yet, but they let me know they are shooting for Monday 6/28. Come check out the new Starbucks location in the neighborhood.

    This is their "lavender" I ordered it without oat milk and sweet cream instead. There was a tint of purple and matcha not mixed and overall disappointing. I'll go back to my normal Starbucks that never disappoints. Good thing I'm not allergic to oat milk I just don't like the flavor!!! do better an 8 dollar drink should look the same from every Starbucks's.

    I recently started coming to this location on my way to work and I have to say that in comparison to a lot of other locations in San Diego they by far have the best customer service. They even noticed I have been a return customer put a cute sticker on my drink today. I've never seen another Starbucks do that. The small gestures count! Everyone I have encountered has been very sweet, they always look up and greet you when you walk in and when you leave. It also doesn't hurt that my food is always hot, and my drink always tastes exactly how it should. Definitely worth stopping at this location if your in the area.

    Iced Brown sugar latte with pumpkin foam

    We are so glad they opened this location. Very convenient, always super quick even when there is an absurd line. Today we got an iced brown sugar latte with pumpkin foam and my wife loved it! I got an iced dirty chai with pumpkin foam at the recommendation of a barista there and man, that's my go to fall drink forever now, it's amazing

    No star. Always do the drive though and never have a problem I can in to 5-11-23@ 10:30 and the cashier was very rude! She need to be taught customer service!

    This location is finally opened the exterior is clean and nicely put together. They have listed on a board two drinks promoted which I ordered both of them however I was bummed that they were out of their new strawberry foam which it was only 11am. All the drinks I ordered where perfectly made tasted great and refreshing I even felt generous and paid for car behind me. Great job!!!

    So welcoming and fun atmosphere

A special thank you to Olivea, Monica, and Noska, who made my visit even better. They were incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They made me a pistachio frappé exactly the way I wanted it, and it was honestly one of the best I've ever had--rich, creamy, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious. It's rare to find a café with both amazing drinks and exceptional customer service, but Shaghf Café definitely delivers on both. If you're looking for a place with a great atmosphere, delicious beverages, and staff who genuinely care about making your experience memorable, I highly recommend stopping by. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Rude staff and a very disappointing experience…read more My friend ordered a Lotus frappe, and unfortunately, it was not good at all. It tasted more like crushed cookies than an actual frappe, and she was literally chewing on pieces of ice. Since we've ordered the Lotus frappe here before and it was perfectly fine, we figured this was simply an issue with how the drink was made this time. I politely asked if the drink could be remade as a caramel frappe instead, since we knew that one was good. Instead, we were told, "We can't do that, you would have to pay." I'm sorry, but why would we pay again for a drink that was made poorly the first time? We weren't asking for a free drink just because we changed our minds. We were asking for the original drink to be corrected because it was genuinely not drinkable. What really made the situation worse was being told, "We're not a chain like Starbucks to just remake drinks... this will go to waste." Respectfully, if the concern is that the drink will "go to waste," perhaps the better solution would be to make sure the drink is prepared correctly in the first place. I understand that businesses don't want to waste product, but making a customer pay for another drink after receiving one that was poorly made doesn't exactly feel like great customer service either. I'm not expecting the "customer is always right" treatment, and I'm certainly not trying to be difficult. But when a customer genuinely cannot enjoy what they were served, the reasonable thing would be to offer a solution rather than essentially tell them, "Sorry, pay again." We've had good experiences here before, which is why this was especially disappointing. Hopefully this was just an off day, because the way this was handled left a much worse taste than the frappe did.

I will admit I was a bit frustrated trying to use the app, it wouldn't accept any credit card info and I had to start over a few times. My plan was to order ahead of time and pick it up. I ended up having to go there to order. I parked and went inside. The girl Crystal was absolutely amazing, a complete and utter gem. She was so outgoing, nice, patient and full of energy. She just had such great vibes, even while I waited, another customer noticed it as well. The drinks I got: 1. Caramelizer Zero Sugar Added -Espresso, Sugar-Free Caramel & Sugar Free Chocolate Breve (less ice) This drink was ok, I tasted less coffee flavor. Instead of it being watered down, it might have been 'milked' down. I think too much half and half. I will keep note of this for next time. I think the flavor was good, but honestly too diluted. 3/5 2. 911 -6-Shots Espresso & Irish Cream Breve (made it sugar free and half and half, less ice) My sister said they did like this, but the coffee flavor was not strong enough. 4/5 3. Iced mocha latte with oak milk, add almond. My niece got this and they did not really care for it. They noted they didn't really taste the almond flavor and it was not sweet enough. They said it tasted watered down. I guess they could try again next time and tweak their order. 3/5 I really hope to find a sugar free carbonated drink that is really good here, as well as a favorite coffee drink. I feel it's trial and error for the menu. Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 3/5

The lighting is warm with a few plants here and there. The menu font is a bit small, I think they could benefit on having it slightly bigger or lowered a little. I've always been a fan of their chocolate orange mocha, but this time around it really missed the mark for me. Usually it would remind me of the Trader Joe's chocolate orange. We got the Iced 24 or 20 oz, I believe. I asked for the biggest they had. The chocolate tasted very light (reminiscent of a milk chocolate) and thin. I was able to taste the orange notes. The espresso was definitely lost in the drink. I wish the balance had been better, I do like the price of this drink though-- I thought it was quite fair! The girls working were kind and soft spoken. They got the drinks out in a timely manner as well. I'll come back, maybe to try a different flavor since there's multiple on the menu!
