We've been here a few times out of convenience. But would much rather drive 10 mins further or just not get coffee at all. One day my coffee is super dark, so next time I ask for extra creamer. Now it's more milk than coffee. And the matcha is super light and chunky like they don't even bother to mix it. I would understand if it was busy or something but the Starbucks was empty read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Merced, California

Friendly store, our mobile order was perfect and efficiently made. The bathroom was clean and the access code was easily given.

I know this may be silly to say.... but thank you for the note on my cup today! I really needed it. I'm just a mom here struggling really bad and I think the workers may have heard my babies crying in the car and may have seen my mind not being focused but they worked through it with me. I'm sorry if I seemed rude I was just overwhelmed and the little note "you matter" meant so much to me and I really am greatful because I needed to hear that. read more

I ordered a tall Americano and was given regular coffee with hot water. It is also safe to assume that the coffee had been made a bit beforehand bc the inside of the cup had stains. read more

I called in an order today at 4:30ish. My daughter went to pick it up for me, it was wrong. I called the store and Michael answered, he was very nice and took care of my order. The last time I was there Janicia was so nice as well. I go to starbucks alot, this is the one is my favorite. Keep up the good work. Thank you Maria read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Merced, California

They had a friends and family sale going on. 30% off coffee and cups/mugs if you purchase a drink. This was a great deal on the coffee so we bought a bag. The staff were nice and friendly and very helpful as we took our time choosing the right coffee. It was helpful that no one else was in line. The bathrooms now need a code, which you get at checkout. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. I highly recommend this location. read more

I wasted my entire 30 minute lunch waiting for a MOBILE order, all I ordered was an iced coffee and a black tea. My black tea wasn't sweetened. 4 drive thru cars got their orders before I did. read more

Nice spacious Starbucks - perfect for a break on the way to Yosemite National Park or on the way back to the Bay Area. Located in Merced, close to where CA 140 intersects with Route 99. They have a drive through, were well stocked, and had plenty of competent and friendly staff. We cobbled together a table for our party of seven and they didn't mind. Bathrooms were clean, and orders were filled quickly and correctly. Can't ask for much more from a Starbucks - we will certainly be back next time we go to Yosemite this way. read more

Another great experience @ Starbucks in Merced Ca 700 carol Ave. the Baristas have a really good spirit. They always take really good care of me. The atmosphere is very peaceful and clean and my drink has been delicious every time. read more

Slow slow been here 10 minutes and coffee isn't ready.. there was no line and no one else waiting. I see a few drive thru...and 3 baristas 2 registers... ???? They didn't start our espresso drink until I stayed by the wait area ... giving them my evil eye lol..not really I looking at my phone and typing this review... Never been to such a slow starbucks... Coffe was good which kept it from a 2 star. read more

Clean location and well-stocked, but not all customers treated equally. Clerk checked my $20 as if it was counterfeit, but others before me received no such scrutiny. If it's a policy, apply it equally. read more

Super sucky experience! I ordered a cold brew cocoa almond cold foam and it was not the same as how other Starbucks have made it. I said no ice and they messed up and scooped it out along with the foam. I had used my stars for a free drink and it was just a bummer. I went back and told them and I encountered what looked to be the manger and she seemed annoyed, grabbed the drink, threw it away and her crew made another one in like 20 seconds which just seemed half assed at that point. I would have rather had my stars back. read more

One of my fav Starbucks in Merced Workers here are super friendly and welcoming They always get the order right And most of the time I love coming here to start my pay it forward train Most of the staffs already have my order ready when I get there Very amazing staffs and workers here The place is always clean And they have a huge parking lot Drive Thur is also very quick read more

Clean Starbucks with bathrooms for a quick stop. Tables inside and outside for drinks and eating. AC works great + friendly staff.

I ordered at this Starbucks earlier today and got a strawberries and creme Frappuccino and I didn't realize until I got home that the drink looked very odd. I always order this drink so I know it wasn't supposed to look the way it did. The drink looked kinda chunky and the bottom was watery instead of having the strawberry stuff the put in the drink, but I just mixed it thinking that would but it didn't want to mix. I let it sit for a bit and when I looked at the drink a bit later, all the dairy product rose up to the top and bottom was watery af. I tried calling the store to let them know that they might be using bad milk but they never answered. read more

Got my order wrong. I order the same thing every Saturday. Called me a lier after I told them they got it wrong. Guess Thor's superpower isn't hearing or manners. read more

Horrible customer service! I really love Starbucks but I didn't appreciate having my food practically thrown at me! And the employees stupid remarks! "You should have let it fallen you would have gone 2 free" Here's a tip JUNIOR... if you don't like your job or if you're miserable there don't go in! Stay home and avoid ruining everyone's morning! I will certainly not be going into this Starbucks anymore. I have never been treated this way at a Starbucks! I am not sure what the manager thought. read more

Had a drink made for me in Fresno, it was horrible and incorrect. I was driving up to Modest and the ladies here helped me out, remaking it correctly and were so sweet about it! Thank you again read more

Although they are not the slowest drive thru around, they are fairly close in the rankings. Out of the numerous times that I have visited this location I have only received my order once or twice within the customer goal time on their monitors. I know they get hit with waves of customers, but at this location they are slow whether they have 10 cars to deal with or 2. I would suggest going inside for your orders, but they are equally as slow in store front. The baristas are friendly here and don't mind explaining everything on the menu to help you decide, but the unnecessary customer engagement during peak times is severely adding to their downfall. read more

Rude ass old lady working the drive Thru. No one was behind us and I was trying to figure out what drink I wanted and the rude ass lady kept trying to rush us. And was making smart remarks! She greeted us asked what food we wanted then proceed to ask if we wanted anything else with an ugly attitude. We stated just a min to view the menu that we wanted coffee and she replied with a smart comment " we have coffee we can do that today, what kind?! Like hold on let me look . read more

Wow! I can't believe this place doesn't have a yelp. Well, here you go =) Been in Merced about 4 years, but live on the other side of town so I rarely go here. This place gets alot of traffic from people going to Yosemite or those who exit right off Highway 99. It's your standard Starbucks w/ drivethru, but don't be fooled by the small looking store front, as inside it is nice and spacious. Off in front of the register is a table and lounge chair and off the the side by the window is an even bigger lounge space with 2 small tables. And finally off to the corner are 3 small tables, perfect for studying or couples. I personally love this place because the customer service is wonderful, even when it's busy. Love love love studying here.And because it's small makes it feel like it's my own little coffee shop. Yaa sappy I know =) read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Merced, California

The only Drive-Through in Merced that I'm aware of. They are extremely conveniently located off the freeway (Exit Childs Ave)... Even with that being the case, it is rare to find them completely packed. Beware--the parking is a bit scarce, so drive-through is the way to go (unless you want to drink or dine in). Biggest downside is the friendliness is hit or miss. Not too big of an issue since I have yet to have any blatantly rude behavior (as I have elsewhere)...and also not a big issue because while I'm more than happy to smile and be friendly regardless of how one is towards me, I don't need someone to return the favor in order for my day to not be ruined. Service is quick, accurate, and efficient...good enough for me! read more

Great service, I think they're doing good in terms of service based on the relative amount of people they have working there. It would be nice to consider adding some more indoor seating options now that the summer is swiftly approaching. read more

I am from Sonora driving through Merced on my way to Vegas and honestly this Starbucks is the most friendliest I have been to. I was greeted right as I walked in by not just one employee but all of the wonderful ladies! Super great attitudes and smiles. Amazing drinks and service that's what I like read more

Waited for 20 minutes in the drive thru for slow car in front of me only to have them "close" because I got there at 9:05 when in all reality got there at 8:45! Absolutely disappointed! Wish I could leave a review on the app! read more

Look, the coffee is Starbucks coffee, it's the same as everywhere else. This would be a DECENT place to work. There are about seven power outlets, only five of which are close to tables. They could use a couple more chairs. But the wifi - THE WIFI! 28 MPBS! Best I've seen in Merced! Will be back. read more

Eric and Greg are the best ever baristas!!! One of the best Starbucks I have come across with awesome customer service and selection of the best ever goodies! Will definitely stop by here everytime I am passing by... read more

Starbucks - The goodies section - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Merced, California

I went to this Starbucks 3/27/18. There was one person in drive thru so I decided to just go through. It was 6:30 am when I pulled to place my order. I place the order go around to the other window and there is a car there he leaves after 5 min. I sit there for another 10 min for my one drink white choc mocha and croissant! The lady hands my croissant and said she was going to get my drink! 10 min later she comes back with my drink. While, I was watching her thru the drive thru she was making the persons behinds me refresher, taking orders and then went back to get my drink. So when she finally hands it to me, I said "it's a bit ridiculous Waiting so long for a drink why you are making the persons drink behind me. She stated that she's the only person there. I'm sorry that is not my fault that you are the only person their! It is also unsanitary for you to be making drinks while doing cashier without washing ur hands! Starbucks needs to get it together! I will try to avoid this Starbucks at all cost. Not to mention by time she gave me my drink it was warm not hot. read more

Made a mobile order and drove thru the drive thru to pick it up. Apparently the crew doesn't understand service because we were greeted with "hi next time you place a mobile order don't order it right before you get here to give us more time". He then shut the window before we can even get a word in but a couple things. 1) your telling me mobile ordering it didn't give you enough time when we weren't in a rush and also doesn't it take more effort to order at the drive thru? 2) we literally had one car in front of us so maybe they just need a little more time to mentally and I guess emotionally process the fact they will actually be having to work for the money that they are making. He was a tan male with black hair and I've personally worked at Dutch Bros for 7 years and am more than happy to give this dude a lesson in service and who knows he might even get the stick out of his butt from it and make more tips :) read more

This is seriously the slowest Starbucks in town. And it's right off the freeway, you would think they would be on it.

I can't get one simple coffee without my order being messed up. Please consider going to the other Starbucks locations.

I've been coming to this location for a while and the morning staff is great! Nice and friendly and quick however I try and stay away later in the day, totally different experience. read more

Best Starbucks in town! Always super friendly and talkative with the customers. I've never had an issue with my orders at this location!

I haven't always encountered "Good" employees, but they weren't too bad. Now when it comes to drinks, I have never favored how much sweetness they put into my drinks. It always tastes kind of watery. Some of the food they had I didn't like too much, but some I did. So it depends on you and what you like and what you don't like. But I like the drinks. And I'm still a customer. It's not always my favorite place to go but when I'm in the mood, I like it! read more

Worst Starbucks ever! There is no consistency. Early morning staff are rude and have no personality. I did a mobile order with a bagel, like I have done dozens of times before, and it wasn't toasted. Then got rude because I just wanted a refund. I rarely drink me here now but I usually regret when I do. I don't recommend stopping at this store. read more

"Not Your Typical Starbucks Experience" I'm going to take a stab in the dark here and assume this horrible experience is because they are in the middle of nowhere and don't really get avid Starbucks or avid Coffee Drinkers visit frequently enough that the staff here is morbidly unaware that a true Starbucks experience is supposed to be welcoming and inviting. Oh I'm sorry I walked in to get coffee and interrupted the conversation you all were having while on the clock. I mean I'm not paying for a drink or anything? The staff seemed annoyed and bothered that patrons were coming in or ordering via driving-thru. Let's get it together Starbucks. read more

These guys consistently provide good service and I've never had problems with this Starbucks. Much appreciated for the good coffee.
