    Starbucks in Escondido! Immediate one star for all the staff not even greeting me and my boyfriend when we entered, ignored us the entire time we were standing there to order. The lady with the red hair greeted everyone that entered beside us. The other staff didn't dare to look at us when we entered, so it was just immediately a no. The place was dirty, and there was trash everywhere. I'd recommend going through another starbucks.

    Passing through Escondido, ordered thru the app and dropped in to use the bathroom while we waited. Our beverages were put out on the pick-up plane and we noticed that one of the drinks definitely didn't resemble the other drinks...and they are all the same drink! I brought this to the barista's attention (her name is Ashley), she had a very condescending attitude and just said that she made all 3 the same. So I went back to the register to speak with another Starbucks partner and she referred me back to the barista who made it...who once again gave me sass about the drink being the same, didn't even offer to fix the drink so I could hit the road. At that moment I decided to just get a refund and buy my drinks elsewhere...and guess what! I did! The other Starbucks prepared my drinks perfectly with the consistency I would expect from all the other Starbucks. Ashley is very rude.

    The first time I was here, I had poor service. The cashier looked like she was tired and done with me even when I had just walked in. Maybe she had a rough day. We all have rough days. The second time I came in was on my birthday and Sam and another girl were so sweet to wish me happy birthday and wrote on my cup! It's the little things that makes my day, and they really made my day with that! About the store itself, the ambiance was standard. This is not a big enough space to study at. Thank you Sam and the other girl that worked afternoon on 9/1/24 (I think his name is Sam...)

    Seven dollar drink not failed to the top

    Place my order roughly 8 to 10 minutes from Deer Springs Road I15 before getting to this location. Always have to come in and stand and wait for my order to be completed. Today I watched her come up short on filling my drink to the top and instead of adding more liquid ingredients she ended up adding more ice to try to fill it to the top. It's rough almost paying seven dollars for a drink that they end up filling with ice more than 3/4 of the way.

    Not sure why there are so many negative reviews but I've been here a couple times and both times have been great. We typically mobile order through the app and pick up which is easy and convenient. The staff is always willing to fix our drinks if we forget to add something- which I really appreciate.

    Staff was very friendly and professional. They customized my Pistachio Latte with a birthday well wishes! Thank you!

    Stopped by here omw home from a night out with some girlfriends. It was a cold and windy evening so I needed a hot drink to warm me up. Normally I would have gone to a Starbucks with a drive thru, but this was the closest location from where I was at the time. I was able to park right in front so no biggie. There's a huge parking lot as it's in the Target shopping center. There were about 2 parties ahead of me, so I quickly looked up my secret keto Starbucks menu on the gram. Found the Hot Chai Tea and that was it!! When I ordered, Steven was very upbeat and friendly. He was more than happy to make my keto drink and even said he loved making new drinks! When it was ready, he said to taste it to see if it was to my liking. He kindly offered to tweak it for me if I needed adjustments. I always appreciate when an employee extends that amount of graciousness. He had a stevia packet ready in case I needed a little more sweetness. I tasted it and it was perfect! I thanked him and let him know I didn't need the stevia. I would stop by here again when I'm back in the area. Steven is definitely the role model barista you want to have!! Love the service with a smile! Keep up the great work, Steven, and I'll see you again soon! ;)

    Chai, yes. But no outlets. WtF.

    I visited the Escondido Matcha Cafe Maiko for the first time last week! I can officially say I've…read morevisited all three locations in San Diego! There was plenty of parking in the plaza. There were a few tables, and high top bar seating inside the location. I enjoyed a matcha latte with less sweetness, less ice, and with boba. The boba quality was great! I feel like the boba could be hit or miss at the Mira Mesa branch.

When I walked in, the kiosks weren't working, so ! waited at the front for someone to take my order. Instead, all I could hear was an older lady loudly screaming at one of the employees. It was loud enough that I could hear everything from the front counter, and it honestly gave me secondhand embarrassment. The employee was being embarrassed in front of everyone in the store, which made for a really uncomfortable atmosphere. Because of the confusion, I ended up ordering through their website instead. Unfortunately, the drink was disappointing. They added a huge scoop of strawberry syrup that completely overpowered the drink. I went there to try Matcha Maiko's matcha, not a cup full of strawberry syrup. On top of that, the syrup wasn't even mixed in properly, so l kept getting mouthfuls of syrup at the bottom I was really looking forward to trying this place, but between the uncomfortable experience in the store and the poorly made drink, it wasn't the experience I had hoped for.

    Great restaurant, food, refined and tasty . The service very adequate to the style of the place…read more The ambiance mainly on Friday and Saturday is amazing, however, I prefer to go during the week when it's relatively calmer

    Hiya my fellow, Yelpers!…read more It's been quite a while since my last review--I was injured and spent some time in recovery, but I'm back and so excited to share my local finds with you again. Recently, I dropped by Kettle on Grand in downtown Escondido. When I walked in, it felt wonderfully peaceful and quiet for a coffee shop, making it a super relaxing, family-friendly spot to settle in and enjoy a bite. My Order: Horchata Latte: Delicious! Usually when I order these at other spots, they tend to oversweeten the drink, but Kettle on Grand hit the perfect balance. Margherita Panini (without tomatoes): Served hot, tasted incredibly fresh, and had a fantastic, satisfying crisp. Side Salad (no feta): Don't let the photos fool you--the bowl was surprisingly generous and packed with fresh greens. The only minor tweak for my personal preference would be a few extra nuts for crunch, but it was delicious nonetheless. Tips: Self-Serve Water Station: They have a convenient self-serve water setup, which is always a huge plus when visiting with kids or settling in for a while. Free Wi-Fi & Great Service: The server behind the counter was warm, attentive, and completely on point. Plus, the free Wi-Fi makes it a cozy spot to catch up on work or browse while relaxing. Help me out, Yelpers! Have you tried Kettle on Grand yet? What is your favorite specialty latte or panini on their menu?
