I'm not from this area, but Ryan (barista lead) and Gregg (register dude) made me feel like I belonged from the moment I walked in. Even during a busy rush, they both took the time to acknowledge me, talk to me, and make me feel genuinely welcome. That kind of service is rare. Ryan makes every cup with care and brings an energy that lifts the whole place. Gregg is just as outstanding. Hes friendly, patient, and quick, but never rushed with customers. Together they create the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to come back every morning during my stay. People like them are the reason businesses thrive. They turned a simple coffee stop into something I look forward to. They deserve all the recognition. read more

Morning staff is always so nice!! Even if there is a delay due to technical difficulties, their communication is top tier. Thank you!!

I am embarrassed to say how often I go to Starbucks (every day sometime multiple times a day) Some places make better. Carmel Macchiatos than others, but Starbucks always feels like a special treat for myself. I need to go less, but hey, I deserve it. read more

Local Starbucks and we generally mobile order. Depending on who is working and how busy it is we sometimes walk in and out with little interaction and our drinks are ready at the bar. On some occasions a drink will have a mistake so they don't have a 100% hit rate but totally understandable. Overall though our experiences are pleasant. Especially on Saturday mornings they seem to have more staff and someone is by the bar to say hello when I grab my drink. It's definitely nice to have a Starbucks in the neighborhood and generally parking is always available. They keep this one fairly clean and usually there are students after school hanging out, people studying or some folks working on their laptops. It's a nice and safe location. read more

The service here is horrible! I went in Friday morning to get a grande grande iced cinnamon dolce latte with oat milk, I was the only customer in the lobby at the time yet for some reason it took almost 10 minutes for me to receive my drink. The young Japanese girl behind the counter, was too infatuated with her boyfriend who regularly goes in and flirts with her and distracts her from paying attention to the customers. I spent 10 minutes listening to her talk to him about how she was going to be the designated driver for the night, but it's funny because she always drinks too much whenever she's a designated driver. Then he told her how exotic she was because she's Japanese and then she told him he would be exotic in Japan because he's white with blue eyes, I heard the entire conversation. While they saw me standing there with frustration, they would rather flirt with each other than provide me with my drink. Then comes a lady from the back who made her own drink for herself, and then turns around and goes to the back to continue her break all while I stood there, waiting for my drink the entire time . I have no clue what the two guys behind the counter were doing, clearly not making my drink either. Maybe they were infatuated with the conversation between the Japanese girl and the white guy as well. Who knows but either way I didn't get my drink quickly, and the service is frustrating there. read more

Went a little bit before close. The girls there were super sweet! And they made my drink so well!!

The workers here are very, very nice and the quality of the drinks is great. But I miss the skeleton they dressed up in different clothes depending on the season/holiday. :( I would come to this location specifically over others in the area so I could see the skeleton and take pictures with it in whatever getup it currently had on. My friends loved seeing it on social media, and that skeleton always made my day. So this location loses one star for taking away its wonderful mascot. read more

I visit this Starbucks frequently and always have a great experience! The drinks are made quickly, the employees are friendly, and the overall atmosphere is enjoyable! read more

I enjoy visiting this location. They're sometimes out of peach iced tea, but they make up for it in excellent customer service. My daughter loves the chocolate cake pops and I adore the oat milk lattes! read more

I came in late Tuesday night with a huge order & Mario & Ryan (I think that was their names) were a HUGE help! So sweet, friendly & VERY helpful with organizing a huge order. Most places always mess it up with no effort. But they went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order and I was able to carry everything. They are the best & deserve a raise!! read more

Three stars because most of the employees do an amazing job of making you feel welcome every time you walk in. They are very careful to wear their masks properly, most of them wearing two masks these days. -2 stars for the rude woman upfront this week who doesn't wear her mask over her nose, and usually it is below her mouth. read more

Big shout out to Eric. Was having a really hard morning at 7:45 a.m. and Eric was very talkative asking me about my day what I was going to do. He just took time out to be invested on someone he didn't know. Great customer service skills. You can definitely say he made my morning brighter read more

The manager refused to cash it my gift card with less than 10$ even though it is required by state law. Very disappointed as it seems like he thinks he above following the rules. read more

Great, little Starbucks. They always get my regular latte just right-the taste, the foam. Deducted one star as they do not keep the outside tables clean and the garbage outside is almost always overflowing. read more

Don't get me wrong, I love Starbucks, but the last few times I came here they didn't get my drink right. I ordered a matcha green tea latte with EXTRA matcha, and it's tasted like straight milk every time. There's also been a bunch of foam on top that takes up a good amount of the space in the cup. I know you get a little foam from shaking the drink, but every other location I go to they take the foam out. Probably won't go back to this location /: read more

This place is slow and its dirty........ Tables outside including chairs are sticky, dirty and wet from spilled drinks, apparently they never have time to look around their cafe or clean up tables. Door handles are sticky and dirty including ground outside by tables where Spilled drinks never have been cleaned up leading to ants, flies and smelly garbage. Disgusting, i sure don't recommend this filthy place. read more

Very friendly staff! Always happy to see you when you come in. It's a neighborhood Starbucks. :-)

Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to ensure a clean environment inside your Starbucks! I appreciate your customer service in helping prepare my drink and also in helping me when I left a personal belonging in your shop. You ensured that it would be in same keeping and made sure it got to me! Very grateful for you all and your team, thank you! read more

I have recently moved in Thousand Oaks, and every morning since moving here I have came to get my coffee. These last two days have just been a huge dissapointment. Yesterday I got a Venti Iced Car. Latte + add shot and there was about 1/2 inch caramal at the bottom on the cup. So gross. Today I went and got a venti hot carm. latte +add shot and today they did not put the add shot. This totally sucked. I am at work now really annoyed with them as you can see. Other then that. They usally do a good job and are friendly. read more

This is one of the best run starbucks i have been in. I have been in some that the staff is so busy fooling around they dont take care of the place, but this one is always clean and well stocked and the staff works hard to make up happy and i its not they are willing to correct it. Very friendly. It has quite a following also and you can get in on some very pleasant conversations. I enjoy going here. read more

Great staff, local hangout. The staff remember you by name and what your favourite drink is; for a Corp chain it still feels like a local coffee house read more

They are not nice here. They aren't helpful or organized and they take forever. It's not even busy here. It's not hard to answer a simple question and not be rude. read more

This is one of the smaller Starbucks locations, it is more like being in someones family room. The environment is quit nice, and the service is great! read more

WHEN WILL THIS PLACE FIGURE IT OUT??!!?? Came in tonight and there was one guy working. He basically tossed my drink at me, without even looking up. The drink was horrible. Bland, luke warm, and tasted like it was made from expired milk. Now I go to Starbucks ALOT, and this is by far the most consistently bad location in terms of service and quality. New management is desperately needed. read more

This is a good Starbucks to go to if you want a nice Frappuccino. The only complaint is the prices for a small drink it can be around 4-5 dollars which depending on your price range can be expensive, so if you want a good drink with a medium sized selection this is your place but come prepared with $5-$6. I enjoy Starbucks and recommend it. read more

Usually this Starbucks is pretty good. The people are friendly enough. Not overly warm but okay. However today was not the best experience. The barista was on the phone and knocked my first café mocha over. So in the remake I think she only put in one shot of espresso for my grande mocha. UGG, tastes like a Hot cocoa that went wrong. For the price we pay for our drinks, I do actually have pretty high expectations. Otherwise, why do the Starbucks experience? read more

I've never seen a professional franchise establishment run by so many kids. Baristas are making jokes and laughing while they mess up many orders other than my own. I ordered a very simple coffee and had my drink messed up twice. Will never return to this Starbucks until management changes or staff is replaced. read more

As those who know me know, I spend a great deal of time in Starbucks. I have frequented Starbucks locations on three continents and in eight countries. This one is pretty nice, it is quieter and more out of the way than the other one just up the road on Wendy. They tend to play the music a little too loud here, and it's one of the smaller locations. That said, when you are able to get a seat they have the soft comfortable chairs, but only two low-tops. The rest are high-tops. If I'm reading, or working on my pad or ultrabook, I don't mind coming here. If I was working on a regular laptop, I would go up to Wendy. Virtually no patio seating, and no atmosphere for it either, it's just an old school strip mall. The staff here are nice and professional, but that's true of most Starbucks. This is a quieter location, so you're less likely to run into people you know . . . but hey, that can be a good thing. I will agree with a previous reviewer that occasionally you'll get a crazy chatting you up, especially if you sit outdoors. Indoors you're probably safe from those distractions. In short: a small location, with points for the soft chairs, but if you're not going to be taking advantage of that, you might be better off at the Wendy location. Music runs a bit loud, but the staff is nice and will remember your order if you come in often enough. Four stars. read more

I waited 20 minutes at this Starbucks with one car ahead of me . The guy working at the window was super nice , but the person making the drink wasn't so because the drink had chunks over chocolate in it that was not blended and is not the usual doubly chocolaty chip frap I order read more

Very rude service worker. In fact other people waiting for there drinks as i arrived ovious had a run in with her and warned me careful she hells. No customer service skills. Rude rude rude. read more

This place is so awesome! I regularly stop by on the way to school in the morning. The staff are very friendly, on of them even knows my name! I'm not in to all those fancy drinks they make, but they sure make a good hot chocolate and drip coffee! read more

Before starting a hike to Boney Mountain Overlook we stopped here to get some coffee and snacks and to hit the restroom. They had some interesting choices full of carbohydrates and sugary goodness. I tried the maple oat pecan scone for $2.25. It was pretty good. The staff was very friendly and quickly put our orders together. The place was clean and comfortable. read more

One of the best Starbucks I've ever visited. This one really exemplifies the "third place" (after home and work) that people spend their time. Neighbors chat, people on their way to work or school, and an efficient, cheerful, and friendly staff. Compliments to the staff, to Tony (store manager) and Anthony (district manager) for their fine work. read more

The nicest Starbucks I've ever been to... seriously the friendliest baristas around.

I'm surprised in how great everyone thinks this Starbucks is. Its the closest one to my house but my wife and I choose to go to the next closest, which for Starbucks means about 100 yards farther. I feel the employees are really not that friendly and my coffee always takes longer for some reason. The place is clean and often full in the morning. read more

The best Starbucks in Newbury Park! This is my regular morning stop now. Always friendly and great customer service!

My second home. All of the employees are awesome... they all make a point to remember customers and their drinks. Location is nice and quiet- not a ton of traffic in the afternoons- great study place. Depending on how you feel about crazies can make or break this place; the odd customers are great for people watching, but careful not to feed them attention, they will come back for more. read more

I don't even usually like Starbucks but decides to give it a chance because I was desperate for some coffee. Not a good idea. Went there about a week ago and ordered a Frappuccino and a simple cup of coffee. I received the Frappuccino about 6 minutes after I ordered and continued to wait another 5 minutes for the cup of coffee (which they had clearly forgotten about) I ask on of the baristas and the tell me they are waiting for t to finish brewing. Shouldnt I have been told that while purchasing it not 15 minutes after? Anyway I continued to wait, after asking 3 other baristas for a cup of coffee that I had ordered and reviewing confused and rude looks from all of them a good 20 MINUTES after I ordered I got the cup. 20 minutes for a cup of coffee?!? Outrageous. Never never going back. read more

Went to this Starbucks, which closes an hour before the one with the drive thru does, and we came in a couple minutes before they closed. We offered to go to the other location but the manager in charge said we could take two drinks to go. And the girl shandy at the counter rolled her eyes, charged us, set our drinks down rather hard, and threw our cards down in the table. No goodnight, no bye, just walked away and started talking to one of her regular customers. Only gave this Starbucks 3 stars instead of 1 because of the general manager and how amazing he was. read more
