At first, it was hard to get to, but turned left off Rosemead and followed Flair into a strip mall of various retailers. I think Emi helped me and instantly felt she was the kindest Barista I've had at any Starbucks I've been to. She actively listened to my order in such a sweet voice. Although I only ordered an iced tea, I felt it was made perfectly for me. The inside of the store is adorned with relaxing paintings conducive to a relaxing moment. I wonder how busy this Starbucks gets on a regular workday? read more

Parking is easy since they have their own parking lot and it's not shared with many other businesses.. The drive thru is very convenient and it's never too busy! They're open daily (4:30am-9pm on the weekdays and 5:30am-8:30pm on the weekends). Inside is quite small and very limited seating but it is very clean! Service is usually very friendly and welcoming. I usually place a mobile order and it's usually ready to pick up in roughly 3-5 minutes! My go-to is the Iced Matcha Latte (unsweetened, less ice, soy milk, with 5 scoops of matcha! It is not too bitter and very refreshing. The default is 3 scoops and +$0.50/extra scoop! Love that there isn't an extra charge for milk substitutions (oat, almond, soy, coconut)! This is 8/10 Also, love their Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso! I like mine with 1 pump of sugar free vanilla syrup, no cinnamon powder, and with soy milk. The coffee is quite strong but not too bitter. It's super refreshing and delicious! I wished they didn't stuff the cup with so much ice but other than that, this is definitely a MUST! This is 8/10. Would definitely recommend and return read more

By no means is this for the service or the beverage- this is more of a call for the chain to improve the sandwiches! The roast turkey pesto is far from what it originally was when Starbucks bought an old coffee chain's commissary out of the Los Angeles area. When I worked for Starbucks the lunch program rolled out and the sandwiches originating from Pasquini's were SO good and that was 20 years ago. Now the sandwiches are just so less in quality, barely resembles to the original. The original had ALOt of sauce and was on a true baguette. They used to taste fresh and delicious and now they're so disappointing, the sandwiches are dry and aren't so fresh and lack the amount of sauce they once had. It would be nice to see a revamp to something closer to the original. I'm sure it would be more in price but you receive a better product and a bit more in size too. How unfortunate. read more

Staff is always super welcoming, orders have always been correct. They have given me great drink recommendations. Cherry on top is that the service is always quick if you're on run! I never considered myself an avid coffee drinker until now thanks to this place 5+ stars read more

If there was a 0 star option, I would, unfortunately there is only one star. BE WARE!! of pastries with mold. Starbucks workers do not pay attention to the pastries they are selling, cooking, and handing out to customers. They did not take accountability. They accused the vendor of selling them a pastry with mold. As a second party selling items, you MUST verify the date of expiration, inspect the item as you are placing it in the oven, and that the food you hand out has great quality. My coworkers bit into the sandwich and realized the mold. She immediately spit it out. This could have been handed to a child with a poor immune system and could have great consequences. Starbucks should do better and not focus on their poor writing skills on their cups. read more

I find it surprising that I even considered to leave a review. I use to love this Starbucks it was my go to during the pandemic and i've been going ever since. Truthfully their service isn't great, the employees never seem happy and always make it seem like a bother when you pay to make your order specific. They have messed up on my orders a number of times and the girls get so bothered when you ask to get it fixed. The drink was like $8 I think its fair to get it right. This isn't the Starbucks that it use to be where they would tell you "welcome to Starbucks on flair where we care" so sad, i'm just trying to be happy while getting my morning coffee. read more

This was literally the quickest Starbucks drive thru I've ever been to. Amazing, friendly staff as well

Honestly the coffee i got was yummtastic but the girl at the drive thru was kind of rude & stank faced. I tried to be polite and asked how her day was & she just ignored me and when she handed me the drink the straw fell and she didn't even offer me another one. No bye or anything. I just don't understand why you work in customer service if they pay you to be nice and can't do that. I think her name was rice or something I don't remember but she should be retrained on friendliness. read more

Location states it closes at 9:00pm and we approached at 7:30pm by foot and doors were locked and the three girls inside pretended not to see us until one finally signaled to us to use the drive-thru... we left instead because it was raining.

Starbucks - This is NOT light ice . Happens every time in this location - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Monte, California

This Starbucks is fast and easy. Located on aerojet in the same plaza as del taco, Jack in the box, poke bomb etc. There is plenty of parking in this industrial business area. Everytime we walk in, there is hardly a line. The staff is great. They are friendly, courteous, and professional. I'm not a Starbucks kind of gal but when I'm craving coffee or a sweet frap, you will find me here. My go frap is the caramel frap or the Java chip. When I need a pick me up, I will order "the Vietnamese coffee" which consists of 4 shots of espresso and 3 pumps of vanilla read more

My number one go to spots as yhey are persistently consistent! Rarely are they out of items, always friendly and professional.

Not that I need caffine more like I want caffine. Actually, I think it is a little both. Awesome thing about this Starbuck is that it's next to my work . At least two of the morning staff know my name. One of the workers will even greet me when I come in personally by name . I use to work in retail and would remember most of my regulars names because who doesn't love a personally morning greeting. I love their dark roast coffee. I love coffee haha. read more

Not my favorite Starbucks at all. First and foremost, my review is mostly for the service received at this location. I wasn't sure if I wanted to make a review because honestly, I get that not all Starbucks will have spectacular service. However, I wasn't asked if I wanted to use my points, the cashier automatically used up my points without my consent. Typically at all locations I go to, the cashiers let me know I have points and if I would like to use them, so you can imagine my surprise when I was told I was good to go when I said I'd pay in cash and would just like to scan for points. I was so confused when the cashier told me I was good to go. At first, I thought maybe I scanned my credit card through the app, but only realized after looking at my phone's receipt (because I scanned for points) did I realize the cashier used my points without letting me know. I wasn't given a physical receipt so I wouldn't have known if it weren't for my app's record (thank god for that feature). This is the main reason for my review, but to be honest? Staff here look like they're trying to look busy but aren't really. There was no line at the drive-thru and I was the only one ordering something at the counter. Coming in to the Starbucks, another employee stared at us and then looked at us like we ruined their day by giving the place business. I thought maybe the weather was giving everyone that sluggish and annoyed attitude, but it wasn't. The inside was way cooler than outside. The employees today looked like they really did not want to be there, hated their jobs, and hated to be bothered by customers. I asked for a puppuccino and I didn't get that so I had to wait for someone to come my way. Most of them were looking away from me. When I got it, I noticed that when I got my drink, I didn't receive a straw. It wasn't those sip lids that I got. I looked around and didn't see any straws around so I had to wait again to flag someone down to get a straw. I try to give the benefit of the doubt when it comes to service, but it's kind of hard to overlook a bunch of people looking like I had ruined their day and any slight interaction is the ultimate inconvenience to them. Drink was nothing amazing. I'd like to reiterate that my review today is mostly for the service or I guess lack thereof. It's pretty sad. What in the world happened to this Starbucks??? read more

ZERO STARS! I didn't know I ordered a cup of ice. I regret not taking a photo of how my drink actually looked like as it was given. Ice to the top. Drink was maybe the serving of a tall, if even that. I'm one to not finish my coffees in one sitting, I like to take my time and savor my coffee, yet this took me probably 10 mins. Unfortunately we have an appointment to get on the road for and had to suck up my frustration and deal with it. LAST TIME I'LL EVER GO AND WASTE MONEY ON THIS SORRY EXCUSE OF A "COFFEE" CHAIN! Save yourself time, energy and money and go to your local family owned coffee shops trust me! Even the taste is better!! read more

Had a great experience at this Starbucks today. I came in to order a Iced caramel macchiato with Pumpkin cold foam it was so yummy. While I took a seat outside to enjoy my drink and take a picture of the drink because it is so Beautiful ...I was right next to the Intercom and overheard The drive-through employee taking orders and I want to give a shout out to her even though I did not go through the drive-through today today I noticed that she would introduce herself and then ask then ask The customer what's your name that makes a big difference and she was so sweet taking the order so shot out to her. I did go inside and let the cashier know that she's doing an awesome job at the drive-through taking orders and to pass it through to the boss. read more

4 out of 5 times I order a large drink it is watered down. The logic appears to be in this order Grande - 1/3 cup mainly water Venti - 2/4 cup mainly water Trenta - 3/4 cup mainly water (might as well drink water since that is what it mostly is) I added a star because customer service has improved but overall still very poor value for what you're paying. read more

I used to come and hang out at this Starbucks 15 or more years ago every single day. The staff and managers were so amazing to be around. Times have changed. I used to order super crazy drinks that the app allows you to order. But the staff made it 3 times and it was wrong each time. Back in the day they took a lot of pride in the way they make your drink and it shows. I understand they're very busy and it's not easy to have that job. But at the same time. They chose to work there and deal with what the job came with. It cost them nothing to make for how much money the company is getting for it. They should be more kind to the customers. But regardless. Now I order one simple drink. One ingredient. And they are honest with it and dont lie and water it down like I won't know. So that's for the 3 stars. read more

One of the smaller locations, in a slightly ghetto area but it has a drive-thru, so that's a plus. The employees here are seemingly a little snarkier and not as well trained as the other Starbucks I've visited. They like to argue with me when they do things like mess up my drinks. My last visit there (four days ago) involved an argument over a refill. Quite frankly, it's annoying. I'd go as far as to say that I know better than they do since I've been a customer with Starbucks longer than they've been an employee and being that I order the same two simple drinks all the time, I'm not the one messing it up. So please stop fighting with me, thanks. read more

The 5 stars are for Laura, the sweet girl in the drive through who helped me this morning. I'm terrible at choosing drinks but wanted something warm that wasn't super sweet. Instead of getting upset that I didn't know the menu she took the time to not only suggest a drink for me but also customized it so it was to my liking. When I received my drink I noticed she wrote what she changed so I could order it again the same way. Thank you Laura, you made my morning!! read more

I gave a 1 star for the delicious Starbucks coffee itself. It was obvious the worker doesn't give a crap about their job. Got a good eye roll when I gave the specifics for my coffee (cream, stevia, etc). Ordered 2 Venti coffees and received a grande and a venti and when I asked about it, was told by the same person "I'll put it in a venti cup" instead of apologizing that they messed up the order. Checked my receipt (#686531) and sure enough I had purchased Venti's. Another great example of a young entitled generation who believes they deserve $20 an hour for pouring cups of coffee. read more

Kinda disappointed with this location and it's super close to my office . Went in at noon on 3/24/22, had to return my drink that was not completed as I had ordered through the app. When I returned the drink I was confronted by a female mgr who didn't agree with me and I was forced to show her my precious order on my app. Never apologized yet she did give me a revised drink. Unfortunately I go to this location 5 days a week....and I do know most of the employees..but today it was a new person and it was a very uncomfortable experience . , read more

This is "The" spot for me to come. I love it here. I will base it on my drive-thru experiences because that is the only way ill get my drink. (too lazy to get out of my car) At times I would become disappointed by seeing so many cars in the drive-thru and I become hesitant to stay in line, but please you don't be hesitant because they move fast, which I am so appreciative of. Especially when you want to grab a quick drink. They have amazing customer service while ordering. Something that I have noticed that not many places do is, provide alternative options if they do not have what you initially ordered. They are pretty good at that, which I like. Also, once you get your order they are pretty nice as well. They 100% always get my order right. Thank you Starbucks team! read more
