Driving from Palm Springs to Carmel, I needed to have have something to warm me up in the cold weather, and needed a caffeine rush to keep me awake. So this was an obvious choice for filling those needs. I was surprised how big the place was. The people working here were all very friendly. They know how to make great drinks. My grand daughters naturally wanted the fancy drinks. But I settled for my favorite, a venti size cup of Pike Place, with room for milk. Add a few packs of Stevie, and I was ready to hit the road once again. But I could leave before I got my egg white things with bacon bits. I love those. Just small enough to make a great little snack..I love this place. read more

Stopped at this location to grab a drink with my daughter before getting on the freeway to head home, the drive through line went very quickly and my order was correct, which is always a plus! I wish I had gotten the girls name that helped us out, she had the best attitude and was very courteous, I will definitely be stopping by this location again in the future! read more

Smaller few place to sit. Weird awkward entrance lot of fencing high low steps parking confusing have to cross drive through drive to go to entrance . Design layout is confusing also not aesthetic. Almost felt like gas station coffee stop. Staffs friendly! Props to the team. read more

Honestly this Starbucks just genuinely sucks... The employees don't care, they take way to long on all orders and management isn't as they should be read more

1 Star I ordered a Pink Drink at the Starbucks in the Tejon Ranch complex and found a long black hair ‍ inside my drink . When I told them, they literally just poured the SAME drink into a different cup instead of making a fresh one. That is so unsanitary and unacceptable. I'm disgusted and definitely not coming back ‍ read more

There's nowhere to sit inside and they messed up our order! Oh well, can't win them all. The music inside was just ok too. I miss coffee shops with couches inside. Their food has become a little better but I wish there were better vegan options than falafel or a bagel. read more

Carlee & Anna! Thank you so much for your hospitality! You guys are so wonderful! This store is super busy and making it work!

Came through the drive thru the other night to grab a quick latte before a meeting. Great service and yummy latte! I needed a pick me up for sure and it hit the spot! Thank you! read more

The location is nicely decorated and the employees were nice , quick and cordial . We got a pink ice drink for daughter and a regular coffee for me and they were both ok , not amazing but it is Starbucks after all read more

One of my favorite "road stops" to/from LA. This Starbucks is small but the staff here have to churn a ton of volume with less tips due to the always busy dive-thru. I prefer to order inside and greet the workers. There seems to never be a long line inside. There are also two clean, single-use, gender-neutral bathrooms with no key code. And for you road warriors, the 5G data connection is super fast: - Verizon;: 661 Mbps down / 68 Mbps up - T-Mobile:1147 Mbls down / 79 Mbps up This location deserves 5-stars for the 5G data speeds alone! read more

This has got to be the slowest Starbucks in the history of Starbucks ever. Do not come here if you are looking for fast drive through service. read more

Quite a few dead spots for cell coverage as you're coming through the Tejon Pass so I stopped at this roadside plaza and hung out at this Starbucks for an hour to complete a couple of calls and some emails before heading onwards. The roads are quite curvy and mountainous in this area, so this is a great stop if you need caffeine and a bit of a stretch. It was quite busy in the store and I was not able to find an open spot where I could plug in my laptop this morning as it was crowded enough.

Starbucks - Starbucks, Lebec - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lebec, California

Yes, it's just Starbucks but it's THIS location that is absolutely amazing. With the amount of cars that come through given its location, it's seriously amazing how quick the service is. The wait is probably less than 7 minutes. My best friend and I always stop here when we're on route to SoCal, so we can get our drinks (something caffeinated for energy & vibes + a venti water for hydration & balance ‍). Today I ordered a pink drink. They forgot the strawberries, so we went back and they fixed my drink for me with no issue. It was so nice of them cuz I'm usually the type to not ask out of shyness lol. This will continue to be my go-to pit stop. read more

After being 20 minutes behind my order, they claimed needing to wait another 20-30 minutes. 50 minutes behind after an initial 15 minute wait with no communication. Terribly disappointing and a waste of time so we canceled read more

Nasty bathrooms and rude service! Avoid if you can, there are better spots down the street.

Just stopped here on our way to Palm Springs. This was the worst Starbucks visit ever. I tend to not get upset specially when I'm on vacation, but let me tell you that it was hard not to when the lady helping us was ridiculously rude. I ordered a grande iced vanilla sweet cream cold brew with extra cream, I have never had to say to make sure it had ice. I guess from now on I will need to since they didn't give me ice. The sweet cream was $1.50 extra, but did I get extra? No I did not. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese, and my husband just had a regular coffee. Well that took 15 minutes just for the drinks, at this point we're ready to leave. The gentleman that ordered after us received his drinks and food before us, my husband asked the lady if our bagel was almost done, she said about five more minutes, I said we should just get a refund we can't wait any longer. He explained to her that the gentleman got his and ordered after us, she than says we'll do you want a refund or not? Really? That's how you treat customers instead of apologizing for the ridiculous wait. I told her she don't have to be so rude to us and to just give us our refund so we can be on our way. I hope this Starbucks hires nicer people. This particular location was super busy why not be nice so customers don't get upset that they're waiting so such a long time read more

I understand that this Starbucks is along a busy freeway, but come on, why is service so slow? They had 4 people working but they were doing everything in slow motion..... no urgency to move orders along! Next time I'll just go to McDonald's! Better yet, I'll see if Dutch Brothers is nearby! read more

Wish I could give no stars. Super rude staff to everyone along with myself. Had no urgency for anything. Seemed like they were pissed off for people asking for them to do their job. Didn't give me straws for 2 my 4 drinks. She was mad she had to give a man creamer for his coffee because they didn't have any out. So I grabbed straws and she yelled at me and told me that I need to ask. Sorry she should have put the 2 straws down with my drinks instead of being pissed off about creamer. I tip all the time even if it is for someone just doing their job. Needless to say they didn't get a tip and didn't appreciate them thinking that I didn't understand what they were saying. Totally not ok to speak a different language and talk crap. It is free to smile and be polite. Remember you get paid to do your job. read more

I just got done with a burger over at the In N Out and I need some coffee to help me stay awake for this dive all the way up north on the 5. I just made it in here before closing, thank goodness. Going inside I find the service faster than waiting outside in the car. All I need is a large house coffee black and I'm on my way. Paid cash and we're outta here. OMG, that first sip does wonders ... Aahhhhh! I always say that after my first sip! This location is just across the street from the In N Out so that's super convenient! OK, back on the 5 and off we go .... wonder how long I can last before I need to pull over .... this coffee has a waking effect, but it also has another! read more

The poor workers. This Starbucks had at least three dozen people inside ordering and waiting for their orders. The drive-through went much faster. Every single worker was working g hard filling orders and/or replenishing whatever needed to be replenished as fast as they could. Some of the customers were not patient, but there were just too many customers for the amount of workers. I admire the positive happy attitude the workers maintained even with all the chaos of the amount of people stuffed into that facility. It was obvious that the drive-through people had priority. We're going to remember that. Our drinks were made perfect perfectly. We had to wait over a half an hour, but it wasn't a fault of the workers . read more

This is a great location to stop by before hitting the Grapevine. It's a safe area, well-lit, and the service here is excellent. I have been here many times over the years, and any issues with an order are promptly fixed. A plus is the clean bathrooms. read more

There's 6 people working and they are more concerned with making their owns drinks than getting through the line of people. This is the slowest Starbucks I've ever been to. And while typing this review they made drink cold not hot... read more

Although packed with customers and a long wait for a specialty drink, this Starbucks gets an extra couple of points because they do not make you wait for your basic coffee in a line with all the Foo Foo drinks. Service was friendly. Bathroom reasonably clean. read more

Stopped here before going over the grapevine. We all know the menu on Starbucks so there's that. I tend to grade more on service and quality of product. Not very friendly I might add. Our barista clearly did. Not want to be there. My cold brew tasted like it was burnt and old too. But if you need caffeine then you have to do it I guess. read more

Man they really need proper training at this place. There really wasn't anything positive from my experience here. It was all bad, the service, the drink was bad, the place is dirty as hell read more

Worst Starbucks EVER. Waited in line for ten minutes which is fine they were very busy. Ordered 4 coffees 4 food items. They read order back and it was correct. We were missing one food item and told the girl who said we only paid for 3. Instead of adding it and letting us pay they made us wait back in line which was still ten people deep. The girl was terribly rude. read more

The WORST OR SECOND WORST EXPERIENCE TO DATE!!! First, they tell you at the drive thru that they aren't doing any substitutes, no extra orders and items added at window so I was shocked with that but, then I ordered my usual Carmel Macchiato and that's it, I wanted a pastrie but that message scared me straight!!! The Lady at the drive thru was REALLY RUDE!!! She didn't know how to add money onto my app by simply scanning it and then adding the cash. She had me at the window scanning my card over 10 times because she was screwing up on the busiest day of the year. I get it , you're stressed out but do not treat customers this way! She kept getting mad at me as if I was her cash register. She ask to scam my card RUDELY OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER... AGAIN AND THEN SHE WOULD close/ SLAM THE WINDOW CLOSE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO ASK HER IF IT'S BETTER THAT I USE MY CC SINCE SHE WAS FRAZZLED BUT SINCE SHE WAS SO RUDE I DIDN'T EVEN GO THERE TO ADD MORE TO HER STRESS LEVEL. TURNS OUT, SHE ENDED UP CHARGING MY ACCOUNT 5 TIMES TAKING ALL MONEY LEFT ON MY CARDS AS WELL AS, I ADDED EXTRA MONEY which she also charged, AND SHE BECAME UPSET WHEN I REQUESTED A RECEIPT. SHE was so mad that she must've said something rude because another one of her coworkers told her to calm down. Smh Get out of there and go work at the mall girl with less stress golfing clothes away from us humans who are calm and trying to comfort you. I get it that it was a stressful day but Starbucks is a high stress job as is, however, there was no need to be rude. Although after almost 30min of holding up the drive thru line with her ignorant attitude , I finally got my drink which she told me would be free since he system was having issues. I asked for a receipt because I knew she screwed up!!! She closed/ slammed the window and walked away, when I attempted to tell her to have a great Holiday and to give her some kind words to help her. I sure wish that there were meme's and gifts on here because I'd add one closing the window wishing it would slam. Lmaooooo She finally returned with my receipt and closed the window on me as I was again, trying to comfort her by showing respect and giving her mind words. I left and knew I'd be able to come here and reach out as well as, I'm going to report this as I was charged almost $12.00 for a Grande Carmel Macchiato, all over her charging my cards over and over again for small amounts smh read more

They made my drink wrong twice and warmed up my pastry after I asked them please do not warm up my pastry And took forever to finally give me the right pastry still the wrong drink longest wait ever read more

I can't help but stop at this Starbucks before heading up the grapevine. For me it's perfectly placed, after a long drive from parts north, it's a welcome break for this coffee drinker. I ordered a nitro cold brew from the Drive thru which was reliably good and just like that...I was back on the road. read more

I ordered a sandwich only since no nitro cold brews. It took them over 15 minutes after I ordered to warm it up. They were busy. However, drink orders were coming out faster. Would not recommend to walk in, maybe drive thru is faster. There was no line when I ordered to order via app. read more

Annoyed... Never have I been told that I cannot purchase the cold foam separately. I always order my drinks this way, due to the fact that "I need all my caffeine" not half coffee and half cold foam. I refuse to argue with people from Starbucks, they are "Cool" but damn, this Momma travels and Starbucks is supposed to have my back. A little disappointed, something so simple. Do better! read more

Horrible la atención!!! No son amables con los clientes te miran con si te regalaran tu pedido

Subpar Starbucks location. Unfriendly and inefficient employees. Also, Starbucks never failed with the cleanliness of their bathrooms but this location is an exception. Would I stop in again? I probably have to because there really isn't anything for miles once we miss this exit. ************************************************************ If you found my review helpful, please smash the "useful" button!

My Starbucks app sent me to the wrong location. I was at the other location at 5555 Laval Road and under the impression I placed my order until i checked my app. The app auto ordered me at 5844 Dennis McCarthy location. The good news is my order was ready and waiting for me when I arrived. You have to ask for your order to prevent beverage theft. Overall, It is a bit more crowded than the Laval Road location so it's best to order via mobile (just check the address). read more

Came here at opening (4:30am) and stood outside for more than 15 minutes waiting for them to open. We knew they were open because they were taking drive through customers. We saw the partners looking at us (a family of four) and they still didn't come open the doors for us regardless of their opening hours. No acknowledgement, horrible customer service. At the very least, they could've come to the door to tell us if the lobby was open or not. read more

If your looking for coffee, I don't think you can go wrong at Starbucks... however if you are on a long road trip and you want to go to a clean bathroom that's not in a gas station don't go here! They might be low staff... but even if they were they still need to do bathroom checks... Toilets were nasty, toilet seat covers in the package was on the floor... Dyson hand dryers are nice but needs some kind of rug to catch the water drippings bc if it isn't going to be cleaned often then the wet floor can be a safety hazard. Napkin holders were all empty... floor had trash throughout the store and I was not greeted at all... I used to work at a Starbucks and we were trained to welcome every guess that walked in. read more
