Mobile order pickup area
Miss L.

They have seating available outside & inside. I always do mobile order & they have it ready quickly! Took 1 star off bc parking in this lot can be a nightmare, depending on what time you come... I have questions for the designer of this parking lot. Anyway, either have a friend drive you & drop you off so you can run in, or just park far away & walk over :\

I'm hooked into the Blonde Cortado which just perk me up with just the right amount of caffeine for me. Cortado tastes like a latte but not part of the latte family :) I like the ambiance here especially when it's raining looking out from the big windows is so calming.

Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, with Chai Cold Foam!

I really want to start doing this for Irvine spectrum stores to vouch for workers because as a food service employee myself, there are so many guests that forget they are being served by human-beings and many employees forgetting they are serving human-beings as well! That is why I would like to vouch for Sam for excellent customer service who made my morning by suggesting I add chai cold foam (I think?) to my iced horchata oat milk shaken espresso and it was delicious. She was super nice and thoughtful during my experience and hope to see her again the next morning I visit!

Audry, unprofessional, lazy and very rude.

I came in to get some work done, I ordered in house. The girl Adry who took my order was very disrespectful and lazy, refusing to make my order as asked. Which was a brewed coffee with steamed oat milk over ice. Claiming she couldn't put it in a glass cup with steamed oat milk?! She finally took my order, then delivering iced coffee in a glass no oat milk and said I could use the oat milk at the station! Following I asked for a wet napkin as using agave packets is messy. The barista whispered something and proceeded to get a cup of water directing me to get my own napkin. When calmly sharing I will be discussing this with a manager Adry burst out, What do you want me to do? I shared how simple it is to make a coffee with steamed oat milk and pour it over ice. Her response was the same, she can not put steamed "milk" in a glass claiming it will burst! Yet she put hot coffee in the glass? Again my request was incredibly simple and made to be a problem that didn't exist! Make the drink and pour it over ICE! The glass is not going to BURST! How absolutely ridiculous. As I continued my work I observed the manager on duty being fed food by Adry in front of customers which was BEYOND unprofessional and demonstrated the true lack of professional manners being operated at this location by this particular staff. Traveling all over southern Ca I have never had someone be so rude, disrespectful, lazy, ignorant, and unprofessional for such a simple request! I wouldn't recommend this location if Audry is working just expect unprofessional attitude! After coming the day before and having such a divine experience I was expecting to have the same today! Unfortunately that was not the case, although the only reason for giving any stars.

Reserve selection.

Great Starbucks in Irvine. Access was easy. Parking was good. Next to Whole Foods Market, Marufuku Ramun and many eateries. Staff was all pleasant and helpful.

I always try to stop by this Starbucks to grab my coffee and croissant. Everything is delicious. Staff is great, price is affordable. Highly recommend

As usual, it's one of the best parts of my day. Everything was nice, organized, and the coffee was perfection!

Iced Lavender Soymilk Latte, Lavender Creme Frappuccino
Elly L.

I tried the new lavender drinks so you don't have to! Or do? I'm not a huge fan of lavender, but I like to try new things so take this review with a grain of salt. I wanted to try the iced lavender cold cream foam matcha, but I think they misheard me and gave me the lavender latte instead. It was pretty loud around the time I came by, so I don't blame them at all, I'll just have to try it another day. They had run out of oat milk today so I had it substituted with soy milk. ICED LAVENDER SOYMILK LATTE: The blonde espresso flavor kind of overpowers the lavender, so it's a bit muted but you do get an aftertaste of the lavender flavor. Not sure how I feel about this one, I think if you like their blonde espresso lattes and want a different twist then this might be a nice change. All I can taste though is burnt beans with an aftertaste of lavender. LAVENDER CREME FRAPPUCCINO: If you have a sweet tooth, this is kinda nice! It's reminiscent of fruity pebbles and the lavender flavor is much more prominent. Mine was a bit too icy, and was hard to sip because the ice chunks were too thick to go through the straw until it melted a bit more. I will definitely order this again but will ask for an extra scoop of lavender powder and double-blended. :)

Not all Starbucks locations are the same... I only go to this location on Sundays often before church and normally relax outside early in the morning before leaving... I am a creature of habit and I usually get a Grande Soy Latte which is the only drink or just a regular coffee that I get... Employees are nice and friendly and based on customers I see in the story are very patient as well...

All the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Jose was so kind to bring my coffee and breakfast to my table. Always clean (even the bathroom). They sometimes write little notes on my coffee cup that are positive encouragements. My favorite Starbucks!

My first blonde...(espresso).

Probably the best customer service I have ever experienced in the entirety of going to Starbucks. I always order regular shots of espresso over ice for caffeine/energy and was pleasantly surprised when the employee, Margo, politely shared a fun fact about blonde roast being the strongest and asked if I would like to try it instead. She did so in a way that didn't make me feel pressured like the typical, robotic sales associate/food service worker would and I find that to be extremely rare. Her kindness and fun fact will always be remembered. "The more you know..." Thank you Margo.

This place is sooo good and super refreshing--perfect for hot weather when you need something to…read morequench your thirst. The spot itself is really cute. It's a small boba tea shop with a simple, clean interior (which I actually love--it's not overly decorated or cluttered). It's a great little place to meet up with friends and just hang out. Service is quick and easy. You can order online for pickup or use their kiosk in-store. The staff is friendly and always greets you when you walk in, which makes the experience even better. Now the drinks... SO good. I got the passion fruit peach green tea, and my husband got the pineapple green tea. Both were super light, refreshing, and not overly sweet at all--which we really appreciated. Honestly, we finished them wishing we had ordered more. Safe to say I'll definitely be a regular here. Highly recommend giving this place a try--it's 100% worth it!!

This yummy tea spot is definitely worth a try for people who appreciate tea quality and care more…read moreabout it than toppings. Highly recommended over The Alley at Spectrum. Really appreciate their fruit tea selection since that's my go-to drink. They even put the quantity of fruit they use in each drink (e.g., 1 peach, 40 blackberries) Passion Peach tea is so good! It's excellent quality and made with real fruit. I recommend starting at 50% sugar if you like drinks to be less sweet, then work your way down from there. Blackberry Rock is also delicious and would be a hit for oolong lovers. Keep in mind they put around 40 blackberries inside so you'll be crunching lots of seeds (I wish they would remove about half the seeds). 50% is a little bitter to start with, so I recommend starting a step above. Also hope they'll use bigger ice cubes - the small aerated cubes melt too fast. Was really disappointed by their topping selection, It's really bold to only have 4 options, but as I mentioned, for those who don't care for toppings or get the classic boba each time you're fine. Service is fine. They're quick and focus more on making drinks than taking orders (plenty of iPads to order on, can flag them down if you need help/have questions and they're nice about it) and there's a fair amount of seating inside. Maybe not the best for studying due to lack of space, but okay for short and small social gatherings. Lack of topping options would be the reason HN Tea won't make it into my OC favorites, but I will return when I'm around Spectrum and craving tea without toppings.

If you're a boba fan, this spot is definitely worth a stop. I tried their Thai tea brown sugar boba…read moreand the strawberry matcha boba, and both drinks were packed with flavor. The Thai tea had that rich, creamy tea taste with the perfect amount of sweetness, and the brown sugar boba added a warm caramel-like flavor that made it even better. The strawberry matcha boba was super refreshing. The strawberry added a sweet fruity layer that balanced the earthy matcha really well, and it wasn't overly sweet. The boba itself was soft and chewy, exactly how it should be. Both drinks felt really well balanced and not watered down, which is always a win. If you like classic milk teas or fun matcha combos, these are definitely worth trying.

This place is NOT for fruit tea lovers!!! If you are craving fruit teas, go to HN Tea down the…read morestreet instead. The shop is cute on the outside, staff are friendly, and all is clean. I was fooled by that as well as the pictures (of non fruity drinks) and reviews... Actually the second worst teas I've ever had in my 15+ years of drinking boba. The quality of the tea is terrible and the fruit used doesn't taste or look fresh at all. I tried the strawberry green tea and the lychee green teas. The lychee tea I threw away after one sip, the strawberry tea I struggled with and couldn't finish either. !!!! Take a look at pictures people post of the strawberry green - it looks brown with a few chunks of soggy fruit. Let me tell you it tastes the way it looks. Anywhere else the same drink is naturally red with fresh fruit. I've also tried other fruit teas multiple times across several years since they opened in case I came on bad days. It was just as bad a week ago as it was when they first opened...Never spending a single penny more here. Perhaps the milk teas are decent, but I honestly don't know how they could be when the fruit teas are such a miss...
