    Cozy interior - time to order.
    Lianne K.

    In the small world category - this Starbucks is extremely close to several other venues (Los Altos Golf & Country Club, Los Altos United Methodist Church) that I noticed as we drove by, but didn't realize were all neighbors. Some kind of serendipity! This is an old-school walk-in Starbucks; no room for drive-thru here. There's seating indoors, but it's very pleasant to sit outside in the front of their space, under the overhang of the shopping plaza's facade. Dear Hubby and I were headed back home after a visit to San Francisco and were in need of a cold beverage fix. Once you're on the 280 you don't really see options from the freeway, so have to use Yelp or Maps to find places to stop that aren't too far once you exit. This Starbucks is not directly adjacent, but is a short drive off Magdalena Avenue to Foothill Expressway. We got to enjoy the late afternoon sunshine partially managed by the roofline so that it wasn't beating down on us on a warm day. The friendly staff made our drink speedily so that we had time to savor that break for a little while before saddling up to get back on the road. The Rancho Shopping Center has a comfortable vibe and free parking. Took me back to the era of the 70's / 80's when this style of plaza was very popular.

    Located right at Rancho Shopping Center just minutes away from my home is this nice location. The staff is nice, kind and top notch. The shift manager Kiana is just super nice and helpful. Let me give you an example. I kept getting this weird sign in for Starbucks and zero locations could explain this. Then I took it into Kiana and within seconds she knew what it was. She said, Joey this is the main site that initially people go to..when they are signing in for the first time. All this time some people in the other stores thought it might of been a virus. Thumbs up and hats off to this store! Thank you Kiana.

    Never been so glad to see line inside a Starbucks!

    This Starbucks location has the best customer service in the Los Altos area. There are a few Starbucks around the Loyola neighborhood that take online ordering. For some reason, this is the only one that can really make it work. Without going into too much detail, the downtown location makes you wait forever, as your drink just sits there. Same problem with the Fremont Ave S'vale store. This location has easy parking, quick in and out, and they're friendlier. What I like most is the convenience. If you order ahead, you don't have to wait when you get there. As simple as it sounds, the other locations haven't figured that out yet. And the Starbucks inside the two Safeways? For some reason, you can pay with the app, but you just can't order ahead. Hmm, go figure. And I didn't want to get too attached to this Starbucks. Really, I didn't. It's a big corporate store. And there are more specialty coffee shops if you're willing to drive downtown and deal with partking (like Redberry). But the drinks here are convenient and still pretty good. I love the pike place roast. Consistent, served hot. A great boost for getting in gear on a chilly morning. And the cold brew, so smooth, a summer favorite during the pandemic. Our sweet tooth likes the new matcha with oatmilk concoctions. Two pumps, light ice. Unfortunately, they run out of oat milk alot, for a few days at a time. Cmon, they're in a strip mall with a supermarket. Plenty of oatmilk in there. But I guess it doesn't work that way. And the kids seem to like all manner of fraps. Coming home from the first soccer game of the year, or celebrating a negative covid test, any excuse to order one on the app on the way home. Quick order when a few minutes away, and grab the drinks, and we're on our way. It goes without saying the pastries still suck. Plenty of places downtown, or even the Andronicos next door. But please, don't get a soggy croissant or stale cake pop from Starbucks.

    Thank you Starbucks for my free reusable red cup with my holiday drink this morning! I love this location. Super fast, friendly service. Lots of outdoor seating including park benches in the sun. #ThankYouThursday2021

    Zachery was polite and nice. Happy that I came to get my drink. This Starbucks is close to my new work place. I think I'll be fine now

    At 7:30am, 10 people waiting for drinks, 10 more waiting to place orders AND 15 mobile orders lined up.., And ONLY ONE gas pump operational. Terrible planning. All the while an employee is in the back storeroom doing whatever... Poorly managed. If you're on a schedule plan 15-20 minutes to get your drink. Mine took 18 minutes.

    Average Starbucks. It's a smaller store and can get busy with a long line. Everything else is pretty much the same as any other location.

    Robu coffee provides a great option for folks who are craving matcha and Japanese sandwiches…read more I came here on a Saturday with my partner around 12, and it wasn't too busy. There are a couple of tables in the inside and a lot outside for you to sit! The cashier at the counter was very friendly and attentive. We waited around 10 minutes for our drinks, where we were able to take our sandwiches from the refrigerated portion of the case. It seems like there are sandwiches you can order where they will make it for you in the back, which I would like to try next time. Between me and my partner, here is what we got: * Sakura iced coffee: this exceeded my expectations! I thought the Sakura flavor came through without being too sweet and surprisingly the coffee did not overpower it and complemented it very well. * Banana matcha: this might be one of the first banana matchas I have had that did not taste artificial. I really like how they give you a small spoon shovel so you can eat some of the pudding top. So cute! * Egg sando: very yummy and they used the perfect amount of mayo. It was a light, delightful bite. * Strawberry sando: now this is the overall winner that stole my heart! This might be the best strawberry sando I had and I was surprised! Their strawberries were not only fresh and crisp, but the deep sweet vanilla bean flavor you got from the whipped cream was phenomenal! I usually do not care for strawberry sandos but this one got my attention! Overall, awesome place in Mountain View!

    one of my fave new coffee spots in south bay! i've tried the black sesame latte and salted coffee…read more(vietnamese coffee) and both were strong and flavorful. i got less sweet and found it to be perfect. there's parking in the parking garage next door. employees are super sweet. only downsize is not much inside seating so not the most comfy to work from or chat with a friend, but solid drinks and i'm excited to try more drinks.
