I really enjoy this location but sometimes they're so slow or "ran out" of supplies on something so you're waiting 15 minutes for an iced tea because they don't brew enough in advance. Going out to coffee with friends while everyone is done with their coffees and barely even had your first sip. The ambaince is hit or miss in this one. It can get very busy and very in and out so I wouldn't pick it as my work spot for the day, service is good for service these days but not my top starbies location pick read more

Service is always great and establishment is clean. Quick when needed. Interesting spelling to my name. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Smooth process. Food and drinks were consistent with all other Starbucks. Service was great. Long line but it ran fast. Don't understand the low reviews. When i asked for recommendations for children, the barista was honest and thought critically about her answer which I appreciated. In a busy location near a Target and the mall. read more

Very busy spot... drive thru looked very busy it didn't take to long for our 2 drinks and 2 sandwiches tried there spicy falafel pocket it was delicious and the music they selected jazzy cool vibe as always everyone is either on there laptop or having a conversation with a friend read more

See all

I had ordered 2 Carmel fraps and they didn't give us it with soy. I called and Emily was so awesome to remake our drinks without any hesitation to correct our order. Best starbucks for service thanks to Emily. Thank you starbucks! read more

Starbucks - Thank you Emily! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

It's honestly embarrassing that I have to rate a Starbucks but after today I felt it was necessary. Not only do they not make drinks standard, but they take orders with the most rudest attitude ever. Extremely unwelcoming extremely not customer friendly and the worst part was when I ordered my drink. I can immediately tell that they brewed it over ice, causing the espresso to be fully diluted and the ice little to none at the top with my drink. Still warm to touch. My drink is probably the easiest drink to make while it's just a triple shot of espresso and grande cup with ice and two pump white mocha and some cold foam Every other location seems to make it perfectly fine however I've never had one make it scratch to the point where I didn't want to return to even need my money back because of their customer service at the end of the day they need to do much further. I will not be coming back here. read more

Starbucks - Very thin layer of ice floating at the top due to brewing espresso directly over ice (the lazy way) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Happy Lunar New Year 2025!! i love how super convenient this location is :) El Camino Real and Vista way :) Oceanside side next to Habit Burger and Dennys and Target . Baristas are all in synch they have great working vibe which gives the store good energy!! picked up a Caramel Macchiato and walked out with this cute festive Year of the Snake coffee mug! cheers! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Service horrendous. Employees looking at each other saying "Not Me" WTF. Will not be coming back.

SLOWEST LOCATION! I submitted a mobile order at 1:04 pm. It is 1:20 pm right now & I am still sitting in the drive thru lane waiting. I am almost certain it won't be made correctly either. They need better training at this store. read more

Greedy Starbucks only lets you use the bathroom if you make a purchase.. I spend my money at Starbucks quite frequently (which I'm stopping ) I was on my way to school, which is an hour away. I needed to use the restroom very badly just super annoying. I won't ever come back here again which I know they don't care lol. read more

Favorite study spot! All the staff is so nice! They are more than happy to re-make drinks, and the seating is always comfortable :)

I stopped by this afternoon and Stephan was very friendly and funny! He made my day :)

This Starbucks ruined my day. Slowest drive through and then my order was wrong. They refunded me my money with little to no explanation. My order came out, the lady apologized nonspecifically and then handed me one drink. I expressed that I was also waiting for a green tea lemonade and she replied asking what size and then I left because this is not ok. read more

Honestly, I've never experienced such a bad customer service experience. I ordered online a venti refresher and when I got the drink it was literally half of the venti cup .. just wow, and when I asked for a venti water one of the barista gave me her back and the other with attitude gave me a tall water. I can care less of the amount of drink but the customer service was honestly the worst part there. Not pleasant at all. Never coming back to this location. I would honestly put -5 stars read more

Starbucks is Starbucks, it's good for what it is and it's overpriced for what it is. I enjoy a nice refresher from time to time and the fact that I can hit almost any street corner and find a Starbucks is nice as well. read more

The quality does not seem up to par with other Starbucks establishments. Strawberry cream Frappuccino is bland compared to another recently visited one nearby. Yes they did remake the drink, but it is still not the same. read more

This is the worst Starbucks I've ever been to in 20yrs. Horrible, horrible, horrible customer service. I don't know what it is about this location, but I've switched to a different one because of some bad experiences here, and whenever the other location is really packed and I'm running late, I know this location is usually dead now, probably because everyone else is switching to a different location- but even when I don't go here for a few months, and I come back and there's new staff, I don't understand how they're still not friendly. Is it just the same manager there making them all miserable? Do they specifically hire ppl who hate seeing other humans? Like I don't understand how so many workers in one place can be so bitter and dry. Also this is the only location I've ever gone to that has my egg bites looking this gross! EVERYTIME. Like why? What do y'all do at this location to manage to do this? None of the other locations do this. It's not appetizing and the texture is gross. It looks like a rat or employee was nibbling on the sides. Again this is an ongoing occurrence ONLY at this location. Why does the location at my house and by my job not do this? It makes me feel with how weird the employees here are that they would do something weird to the food. My previous bad experience that made me stop coming here is because they don't fill my drinks to the top - they swear like I'm not paying $7 for a coffee, like they're out in the field growing the coffee beans themselves and bringing it overseas and they're short on water and they get penalized if they fill our drinks to the top. So I asked them "what can I do to make sure my drink gets filled to the top?" They said you need to add another shot or ask for extra milk, because we go by measurements. OK , so next day, I ordered with an extra shot - still not filled to the top, so I asked again, hey I was told I needed to add an extra shot to get it filled to the top, and I did and y'all still didn't do it, I paid extra. Not only did 2 girls argue back with me with an attitude- I got told "that's just how it's gonna be" I was like "okay whatever I'm not coming here anymore." And she said "that's fine with us, don't" Listen whoever is hiring here - start hiring more ethnic ppl, more gay ppl, black ppl, ppl with personality - like the other locations, who work fast just to have time to talk to you without holding up the line. This is the first interaction of my day, and this location is NOT how I want to start my day. These white folks are not it and I'm white. Whatever racist propaganda you're on, it's killing this location. I'm tired of this location not changing its ways for the past 1.5yrs do something different - my next complaint is to corporate. And all 99% of Yelp reviews are positive. So you have to reallyyyyy suck to get me to write an essay on how much you suck. read more

Starbucks - two biscuits with cheese and pepper on them - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Bad service at the walk in; 20 min wait for a simple, black iced coffee. The young man simply forgot about me. Even though I was there at the pickup station, apparently invisible for 20 min. This is reflective of management for not properly training the younger team member. read more

Needs more staff to keep up with the shitty mobile app design... not entirely the staffs fault but still frustrating when the app says it's ready too early when it's not read more

As a customer I had to strike up the conversation. The restroom was very dirty before I took this picture the paper towels were all over the floor. As I'm writing this review I have been waiting on my order for 20 minutes. read more

Starbucks - The restroom - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

There were only 4 workers in this Starbucks and 3 of them were working on the drive-they while 1 worker was just taking orders. One of the three workers were just pretty much lazy and just lazily wanted to take a break. But, sometimes you just need to do it when they isn't that many customers but not today. I'm not coming back to this Starbucks again. I'll find a different location. read more

When I pay over $11 for 2 egbites and a medium drink they tell me I can only have a small water because the biger glasses are reserved for drinks only. No wonder Starbucks is going down hill!!!! read more

Trying to figure out why this Starbucks only has two stars. Seems perfectly consistent plus has a drive thru which is very convenient.

This Starbucks is a little difficult to locate or maybe it was the way we came into the area. Had coffee here twice when we were in the area. The second time, a homeless man came in, sat for a while without ordering, coughed as if he were trying to cough up a lung, then left. Maybe this Starbucks doesn't give free water (most do) as he could really have used it! I've started drinking the dark roast with a splash of coconut milk. Apparently they don't make a second pot during the day after the first, as the barista will ask if a pour over is ok. Heck ya! A pour over is much preferred to what's in the pot! If you hate Starbucks it might be because you have only tried the Pike roast drip coffee, which in my opinion, is absolutely terrible. However, the dark roast is wonderful (I had the Christmas blend twice here). If you try the dark roast on drip and don't like it either, maybe you are more of a light roast person. Anyway, there are always three straight black coffees to choose from the drip. Then there are a few more black coffee options if the store has a Clover machine (not all stores have one, but this location does). There is always the option of just an Americano--espresso with added hot water if you are looking to cut calories or milk and sugar. I enjoyed my coffee here. read more

Starbucks - 12-29-17 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

You can't always judge a restaurant by the most recent reviews because things change and reviews sometimes effect change. From the recent reviews I was expecting the unexpected. On my first trip here I was served my drink quickly and the barista got it right. Awesome. At about the same time on the following day I ordered a clover and, unfortunately, it was one of the worst clovers I have been served at Starbucks. I don't think the barista had been trained on the machine and he was not sure how to make one. On his second attempt he gave me the strongest cup of coffee I have ever received. He must have used enough beans to make 5 or 6 coffees. I think he was not aware that he was supposed to measure out the right amount of beans. I was disappointed but realize that sometimes mistakes happen. So, one good, one not so good experience. read more

Starbucks - Wall art. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

The only thing that I can say is that they have really bad service from managers to cashiers it has happened before, but I always try to give people a second chance because I work in customer service and sometimes you're just not having a good day,but the attitude they give you makes you not want to come back read more

This is the third time this Starbucks has gotten my order wrong. Maybe you should invest in training your baristas to read and make the drinks to what we order. The tickets(stickers) are correct but the drinks are not! If you can't make it the way I order it, then tell me that your giving me what YOU felt like making me rather then me driving off to realize it's wrong! Please invest in proper training to your employees. Not cool!!! read more

would actually be 0 stars workers are rude was told they were out of venti cups and then pull forward to see them through the window

we came to this location a few times while we were in california. the staff was so awesome and they were fast with getting drinks out - that's why we returned! thank you to everyone there. coffees were great all of the days we went! read more

Customer service is always on point. The wait is usually long but it's starbucks and it's like that everywhere. Food and drink is always right. A younger blonde girl and a guy with tattoos helped me the past couple times and are so nice! read more

I came in September 2023. There were 8 people working. Only 4 of them making coffee or doing the drive through. The other 4 were either sweeping, appearing to count inventory or fiddling with the iPads they use, or just talking with one another. After waiting about 5-6 mins they eventually took my order. It was not busy. If I were management I would prioritize helping a customer vs inventory or sweeping. It goes a long way. Iced tea was good. Just the customer service and priorities are lacking. read more

The African American woman working the drive-thru menu was extremely rude and short with me. I understand she may have been having a rough day, but she did not need to take it out on her customers that were being polite. I have never had this experience with a Starbucks employee and I am thoroughly disappointed. I would recommend retraining her on how to deal with customers. As someone who works in customer service, this is completely unacceptable. The drinks, however, were tasty and made correctly. read more

We waited 30 minute for 2 drinks hurry it up and we were not satisfied with the drinks because the whip cream on one of the drinks we got the whip melted off and all of my ice on my drink I got was all little ice cubes and it was barely cold like room temperature read more

This Starbucks is one of the best locations EVER ! AMAZING Staff!! Love this locations in Oceanside. Many thanks God bless Louieeee read more

No way to rate this ZERO stars, so one star it is. Easily the most BAZAR and UNPLEASANT experiences I've ever had with any Starbuck locations over the past 25+ years. Our order was taken at the drive-through by a seemingly unfriendly individual. Sure enough, it set the condition for what was to come once we reached the window. The lady attempted to hand us the wrong drink and insisted we were someone else who ordered these drinks via mobile order. What?!? We explained over and over it wasn't our drink (we were calm and collected) and when we tried to describe our order, she cut us off and said that's not what we ordered. She then proceeds to say they didn't register our order and was about to take it at that moment when we just gave up with the nonsense, said we didn't want anything anymore and departed. We were having such a good day that we were even going to pay for the order of the car behind us. *Unbelievably poor customer service *Pause and provide appropriate training before they continue to embarrassment the company with their unprofessional behavior and disregard for customers. Avoid this location unless you want to be disappointed. There's a Starbucks in the Target across the parking lot. read more

My favorite Starbucks hands down! If there was a rating between 1-10, it would be 9.9. Only one out of the 20 times I've been here was my drink bleh and since I've been around the Starbucks block a few times and back, that's a bottom of the ninth, tied game, and then you just hit a GRAND SLAM HOME RUN! In the morning, the drive thru line is ridiculous as all others are and sadly the baristas feel constantly rushed so even if you go inside just double check your drink and make sure it's what you correctly ordered. Studying here has never been a problem unless it's the frequent Starbucks customers who come say hi to me and want to chat a bit. So instead of sticking around Barnes and Noble down the street which always seems to be over crowded and too noisy, it's better to relax here. read more

I just have to have my Starbucks everywhere I go. This is my new go to Starbucks. Drive thru is quick and everyone is friendly. Same good Starbucks drinks overall for me while on the go and in the area. read more

The drive thru is the slowest I've ever been to. Definitely the slowest drive thru in Oceanside. If you walk in for a mobile order it's fine... but stay away from the drive thru!! And I'm not making this review based off one bad experience... I've been coming here for 4 years (check my previous review) ... and the drive thru is consistently slow. And slow is an understatement. Seriously, they should be comping drinks! Today, I heard the barista call my mobile order out while I was at the pick up window. And it STILL took another 4 min for me to get my drink in my hand from the drive thru cashier. What is going on here?? Management should take note. read more
