When I'm on my way to Arizona, I tend to stop here for a little caffeine fix and bathroom break. The staff is friendly and the space is clean. The drive-thru can take a little bit but overall they are an easy spot to run in and out of to get you back on the road. read more

Food and drink good. Store only took debit no cash and would not give me a straw for my cold drink because they were low on inventory. The store on Wake At 4 th street is way better. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Centro, California

I'm a 20 year old customer. I'm gold member as well. I was horrified when I stop to get my dog some water!!!!! 110 degrees outside and they refused to give a small water. Take note I'm a huge paying customer. The new CEO will lose. He is ruining gold members ! read more

Everyone so friendly for being so early in the morning. I love when they say good morning and call me out my name.

205 S Imperial Ave location needs to be converted to a drive through location only. The staff here is really cool, but they can't handle the influx of drive thru and also two dozen people standing around inside for 30 minutes, in order to get a freakin cup of coffee. Horrible service. read more

Witnessed a mother asking about the contents of the Pink Drink for her small daughter's sake TWICE, and neither time did the barista mention the caffeine. Daughter walked away with a new drug habit (caffeine addiction) against their knowledge. Tragic and upsetting, i wish corporate would make it clearer to customers that REFRESHERS ARE NOT FOR CHILDREN. Otherwise, great location. You know beside getting small children hooked on caffeine left and right. read more

Superb every time! Nice baristas as well. I stop here on my way to work and they always get my drink right and fast.

One of the Starbucks locations in El Centro, located more centrally than other locations. Definitely the go to place for students and parents alike and a popular study/meeting place. Tables might be swamped with people studying or hanging out but it's usually not insanely crowded. I've never had any issues with service and drinks come out pretty promptly. Good place to hang out or grab a coffee if you're in the area. Parking isn't usually an issue, but the drive thru can get a bit busy depending on the time of day read more

I had the worst customer service when I picked up my mobile order. No one greeted me, and the only acknowledgement I received was when the drive thru person called out my name for one of my drinks. The barista making the drinks did not even bother to give me eye contact when she put the last drink down at the pick up area. It will be nice to go to a place and have the associates look at you and smile. read more

Starbucks sucks in general except for convenience of locations. Burnt coffee! Paying for label.

We ordered online and walked in just a few minutes afterwards. Drinks and food cane very fast. Also gave us cups of water when we asked. Everyone was very kind! read more

I ordered a drink and a sandwich. I received my sandwich very fast but I waited for my drink for quite a while but nothing. I'm not a huge coffee drinker so I rarely enter this place so I wasn't sure why my drink wasn't ready. I did notice that folks kept ordering and their drinks were all being served. I was just waiting patiently. Anyhow after a while after I kept getting up to check if my drink was one of the drinks ready at the pickup counter an employee asked me if they can help me. Finally received my drink. Not sure if this is normal but they just gave me my drink and told me thank you. If I was in charge I would of offered an apology with some kind of free item or something??? Anyhow kind bummed read more

You have seen one then you have seen all. That's what Starbucks is this days. However, it really varies according to the service that each place gives. Here in El Centro, CA., this location is one of 3 and the best one. The people here are very friendly. Is clean, well maintained and has a good speedy WiFi connection. Also the A/C works great. You will know what I mean when you come here during the summer time. read more

Just like all the other stores! This one has a drive thru and it's always got a line of cars! But this location has friendly staff which isn't always the case at Starbucks! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Centro, California

had a really bad customer service experience with mark didnt even say hello or anything didnt say have a good day or anything really disrespectful read more

Anthony! A great employee big order was in front of me he asked me if I was with the group and got me my own cashier so I wouldn't have to wait Bravo to him deserves a raise! read more

I ordered on the app and still had to wait 6 more minutes after I had already arrived at the store. I noticed cars in the drive thru were being helped a lot faster. It would have been faster for me to arrive and order at the drive thru than on the app and it's the second time this happens. read more

Best Starbucks in the Valley. Excellent customer service and the best preparations of my favorite drinks. I go here nearly every day and they never disappoint. read more

Needed a quick boost of energy on my drive from San Diego. I tried the new Sweet cream cold brew after the barista had said it wasn't too sweet. Turns out it is sweet, very sweet. I enjoyed the strong flavor of the cold brew and the service was fast. 4/5 in comparison to other Starbucks read more

Rude people. They open at 4:30. I sat in the drive-thru till 4:35 and nobody responded to me so I walked inside and they said with an eye roll that I was too early. The guy who made my drink was very polite and thanked me and told me to have a good day. The two females that were working were very grumpy I need to work on their customer service Came here again early in the morning. Drive thru was open but the lady rushed us through our order, everything we asked for she says she wasn't making then muttered something under her breath when we finally just ordered a coffee. Some other person took over our order as the first person was an A-hole! read more

Driving thru and fueling up the car, decided to stop and the standby Starbucks. WOW, the drive-thru here was fricking busy, to the point where it was causing a slow down in the parking lot. Your typical Starbucks. The service was okay. nothing stellar. The bathroom line was just as long as the drive-thru. On the bright side, it is Starbucks and the air conditioning works so does the WiFi. This location was fairly clean the day that I stopped in. read more

Very bad service. Everything is spot-on 5 stars, but when there is a hair in your drink and they ignore you and even accuse you of planting it there this all goes out the window. All you are left with is an insult and a disgusting waste of time and money that makes you want to vomit. Never coming here again. Anyone deserves better service than this. read more

I went back to this location because the drink I ordered didn't taste so great. As soon as I walked in Angel noticed I was returning my drink and without hesitation she jumped on it right away to make it right. It's these kinds of things that go a long way for people. Thank you!! read more

I head out to El Centro on business four or five times a year to appear in federal court. This Starbucks opened up a year back and it was a GODSEND- previously the only Starbucks was inside an Albertson's and it sucked nuts. This Starbucks is in the parking lot of a mall- Rite Aid is an anchor tenant in this center. They have a drive through, but don't go that route unless you are prepared to sit in your car for 20 to 30 minutes- the line is always five to six cars deep and everyone in each car orders frappucinos, so each car takes 5-6 minutes to be served. Inside it's just as bad because the staff is almost entirely engaged in making frappucino's for the drive through crowd. The interior was occupied entirely by Mexican-American "emo" teens- super cool! There was also a pack of 15-20 of them outside, loitering in the 95 degree heat. This is likely as cool as it gets in El Centro. read more

I absolutely love coming to this Starbucks. The atmosphere is always mellow & the smell of coffee makes it so much better. The staff here are very nice & they do care about their customers. They never get my order wrong & it's a great place to hang out with a few friends to catch up. read more

5 stars ! Yes This people is always friendly and Smily ! I usually go there in the morning to get a small coffee before my work out ! People is always helpful and Smily ! Only bad thing is always pack :( But still 5 star because this people seems to be trying their best to keep people moving ! Thank you guys !!! read more

Out of all the Starbucks in the valley, this is my favorite one. They always prepare the drinks better than at the other locations

My favorite Starbucks of all time. I have traveled quite a bit and nothing compares to my hometown El Centro Starbucks on Imperial Ave. Anthony and the rest of the 6:00 a.m. crew is the best!! I love them! The service is fantastic and fast, even if there is a long line (don't let that deceive you). They spoil us so much!! Thanks you guys! read more

The baristas here are friendly, and service is fast. Despite the other reviews on here saying that there's bad service here, I experienced great service. My order was prepared quickly (probably because there's a drive thru as well, so drinks need to be made fast). As with all Starbucks locations, this Starbucks is clean, well-kept, and has free WiFi. So if you ever need to study and take a break from the heat during the summer, this is the place to be! read more

It's a Starbucks, just like every other Starbucks in the United States. If you have seen one, you have pretty much seen them all. The drinks are somewhat pricey as is the food. This particular Starbucks, has decent free wi-fi and the A/C works. Which is very nice in this part of the country during summer! read more

This Starbucks has really cleaned up it's act in the last year! This place has previously hired bimbo-like barista's with pretty faces (no brains) who would drool over the Border Patrol Agents who passed through drive through while whispering their most scandalous gossip through their head sets. The customer service used to be a joke, and drink wait times were horrendous. One year ago, I would have said that this place was a joint I visited regularly strictly because of my addiction to caffeine and the limited choice in local suppliers. NOW, I'm proud to be able to say, I go there for the truly friendly service. I'm almost always greeted and said goodbye to, by my first name. They typically know what I want when I walk in the door, and whip up a drink in a reasonable amount of time, without any hassles. There has definitely been a change in management and a new wave of employees that have really straightened this place out. There are 3 Starbucks locations in El Centro. All of them are a pleasure to visit, this one just happens to be my favorite. read more

Starbucks - my favorite Starbucks! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Centro, California

The one star off is because they do not know what a long espresso is. Just use a bit more water than what you are used to!!! If you want an espresso with just a bit more liquid on it... read more

The service is volatile. I have waited for service while 3 employees stare at me. I need service. I am not standing up for fun. I understand that you are not at the register but are you incapable of ringing someone up while the register person gets back. I am flat out ignored sometimes. The air conditioning is terrible. The place gets so humid and unbearable. The products are okay. read more

Whenever Im traveling to Cali I always stop at this Starbucks, they make my drink the way I want it and always with a smile! Can't ask for more than that... other than their clean bathrooms too :) read more

Great service & when they get it wrong they are always gracious & don't give you a hard time when they have to remake a drink love it. (Sometimes there's weirdos walking around at night...only down side..) read more

Friendly fast service but maybe too fast. A rare Starbucks fail. Headed east on highway eight or would have returned. The turkey bacon sandwiches had frozen spots. Funny how something tasty can be disgusting cold. And the passion tea lemonade was watery. read more

I ended up at this Starbuck's twice in the same day because that was how badly I needed both caffeine and a bathroom. This place was pretty good as Starbuck's goes. I'd hate to be an employee, though because of dumba**es like me who get to the register and then say "Ummmm..." In my defense, the menu was very different from how I remember and I had a hard time locating the cold drinks. Oh well, first world problems. I got my caffeine fix, my bathroom break, and a bit of free wi-fi before continuing on my El Centro adventure, and I came back again before my trek back to San Diego. No complaints on either visit and great service both times. read more

Just love Starbucks! Great customer service! Great drinks! Perfect for a meeting or just to sit down and relax. Very popular place for the imperial valley residents! read more

Always stop here traveling Yuma to San Diego. A surprise in El Centro. fast friendly service gets you back on the road quickly.

Rude with a side of slow. Plenty of time to talk to each other. But don't ask for your drink after you waited long .they will snap at you and still leave you standing . Also place is the dirtiest most fly infested Starbucks I have seen . And I have been to hundreds. Six years as gold card. read more
