Starbucks is Starbucks, right? Nope! This Starbucks is one of the fastest, most efficiently run, I have ever experienced. And the people who work here are so nice and polite! They go out of their way to make you feel welcome. And weirdly, even the espresso drinks taste a little bit better than other Starbucks. I don't know how that's even possible. read more

Fast service, although the drive-thru can be slow sometimes. There is plenty of seating to go with friends or just sit alone. Their bench seating against the window is quite uncomfortable, although a nice area. There's a long table, and some other tables. It seems this place has a constant stream of people. Their set-up is good (drinks are easy to see & access when they are ready). read more

Jammed in the corner of the Camino Town and Country Shopping Center. Sometime the drive through line tends to back up into the parking lot. Parking lot itself is often busy with folks looking to park and not paying attention. So if you can get in the lot, find a parking spot, and not get run over getting into Starbucks you will find a very average experience, making you wonder why you bothered. Best feature is free wifi I use when I am next door at Habit Burger, read more

This is one of the worst Starbucks I've been to. I stayed overnight in the area, so it was out of convenience rather than pleasure. Nothing outrageous, just that both visits the staff was not an ounce friendly or fast. Took a minute to be greeted and to order at the register. As I stood there wanting to order, they moved around making coffee for customers that would've been better served if the employees drank them. I ordered a dark roast, so I can't say anything about them getting my drink wrong (can't really get that wrong). Maybe I've been spoiled by my local Starbucks, but the basics of customer service seem to be lacking here when I usually enjoy the service at Starbucks. read more

Drive through is very fast! Great locations to put a Starbucks! Fast & friendly. there are bubbling with joy there! The drive-through lady was so much fun and fantastic to talk to! She made my day excellent! she gave me excellent coffee! She sounds like she had to much coffee her self! But I enjoyed her bubbling personality! You want to go place that's very exciting and happy go to the Starbucks drive-through! read more

Starbucks - I love my Venti mocha Frapuccino! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

This Starbucks really needs to work on how to make a drink. The other day they ran out of chai tea for the chai tea latte. Instead they gave my friend just steamed milk. When she asked the manager why it didn't have chai in it he said he was running low on chai. Like are you kidding me..............:. That's crazy. Just let your customers know your out of a flavor. This Starbucks needs to get there act together . I never yelp but this was bad. read more

Why is it every time I come here my drink isn't worth what I paid for and my snacks are stale?? Never had a stale cake pop until tonight & my six Dollar hazelnut iced coffee tastes worst than my two dollar one from Dunkin' Donuts. read more

I never understand why I consistently come to this location. Everything takes forever. Self reminder, go to the one near McDonalds. The staff actually likes their job and they are quick! Management, learn to staff accordingly and instill a sense of urgency in your staff! read more

Decided to grab a couple drinks last minute, so no tIme to mobile order. The drive thru took 20 minutes. No apology, no thanks for waiting, nothing. The cashier was on her cell phone, and just standing around chatting. The line was beyond the stop sign when we finally got through with a very unhappy one year old. The location on old grove is so much better!! read more

By far the slowest Starbucks ever! There have been times I've ordered my drink ahead of time hoping to help save on time, and u still have to sit at the window while they make it, and 9/10 the order is missing an item. The one off Plaza is way faster. read more

This is really one of the worse Starbucks there is. They closed down the drive through because they couldn't keep up. Not to mention my drinks never seem to be quite right. Last Frappuccino tasted like Cherry and the woman who had to remake it was publicly irritated when I spoke up. Gimme a break! You people are the first people I see in the morning so slap on a happy face or go back to bed! Live Update: she called my name and set my drink in a sea-full of other drinks and when I asked which was the cappuccino she just walked away! Seriously?! TIP: there is a Starbucks in the Target in the same shopping center. Trust me, just go there instead. read more

very rude customer service. I drove to Starbucks prior to closing on Sunday, August 11 and walked in at 9:59pm. AlI the lights were still on and between 3-4 workers were cleaning while one employee finished making drinks for 2 customers who were exiting as I entered. Before I could say a word, the employee said "we are closed" I proceeded to say, "it's 9:59, can I just buy a cold drink from your refrigerator section? He then looked over at the time which read 10 and said "No, our system immediately shuts down at 10, we are closed" Please don't lie to me, I know your system does not immediately close on the dot when the store closes. Any other person would agree to the fact that you were to lazy to help rather than going the extra miIe to represent your store branch in a positive light. The doors should have been locked if closed. I am a branch manager for a rental car company and although I may be tired after a long day of work; if a customer walked in at 5:59 prior to closing @ 6 in need of a rental, I wouldn't hesitate and immediately assist the person after excusing myself to lock the doors prior to assisting my last customer. I believe i noticed a manager approaching the front entrance to lock the doors after leaving when my request for service was refused unfortunately, not even the manager assisted me with my order. Word of advice, in a future situation like this, may very well be the difference between keeping a loyal customer completely satisfied and made to feel valuable or a disappointed customer who may never want to return again along with warning others about such disappointing customer service. read more

Horrible service. They don't listen. They just make your drink however they want. Unfortunately, this is the nearest location to my current jobsite. I won't be nice anymore. If they're gonna keep raising prices, then they need to lLISTEN to what their customers order and STRIVE to make that order correct. Also, the drive thru is safe, but if you have to go inside, good luck getting past the homeless out front. Management really needs to review this location. read more

The worst Starbucks I have ever been to! I usually go to this Starbucks because it's on my way to work. Every time I go and get a standard iced coffee with 2% milk and classic syrup and it has not once come out right. Last week I was rudely told to begin asking for more milk if I noticed that it didn't taste right. I don't have to do this at any other Starbucks but I digressed. Today I went and it wasn't made right even after asking for extra milk. The lady seemed so annoyed and was rude that I didn't even bother telling them it still wasn't right. I have never had a bad experience at a Starbucks until this one. Avoid at all cost. read more

I have been to this location about 5 times the past month. The drinks are usually right and people are friendly. However, each time I've come it has taken me 20-30 minutes just to get through the drive through!!!! And it's not a long line or a drive thru that is really long. Now I understand each drink is made separately but the starbucks on the 91 freeway have way longer lines and I usually don't have to wait as long as I do here with 6 cars in front of me. If you have the option to go to a different starbucks it would be better. read more

Literally the longest I have ever waited for an iced tea anywhere. Currently 35 minutes since ordered as I write this and still waiting.

If you're going to charge $4.75 for a cold beverage the least you can do is fill it to the top. Venti in a Trenta cup, not ok, your product is already overpriced, no need to gouge me further! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

When this Starbucks first opened I was so happy! On my way to work, with mobile order it's just a quick way to get my fix in the morning. They were fast and had great customer service. The last 3 visits I've had here...not so much. I ALWAYS mobile order. I'm thankful Starbucks provides that feature. I'm told 4-7minutes. Which I think is totally reasonable considering all of the people in line inside waiting for their drinks and the drive thru. But it has taken 15-20 minutes for them to get to my order the last 3x I've been there. And when I come in to ask for it, the customer service is just not good! "It's not ready yet," while I see 7 drinks ahead of mine that are not mobile order. Even simply saying "sorry we are slammed but we will get yours out soon" would be better than nothing. There are side conversations happening with the baristas and they aren't even paying attention to the people waiting for their drinks. I don't like to write bad reviews, but this Starbucks has potential to be the best one in town, but they've only been open a short while and are declining in efficiency and customer service. Please fix this! Sincerely, An avid Starbucks drinker read more

This location on El Camino Real and Vista has got to be the slowest Starbucks I've been to In My Life especially the drive-thru, they greet you every time, sorry about the wait! I stopped getting breakfast because the pastries are always seem to be stale. by the way there's a sign posted inside that they overcharged customers so probably check your receipt read more

Starbucks - Get used to looming at the car in front of you, worst wait times I've ever seen and I've been to Starbucks in Beijing! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Went to this location again on a whim. Dumb move on my part. Ordered my usual custom drink (triple espresso with 2 pumps WM and splash of 2%). Watched the guy make my drink (it looked like he only added one shot) filled the ENTIRE cup with milk. I asked if this was triple shots.. he LIED and said yes. I took it and trashed it. I was already waiting ten minutes.. What a waste of $3. I've been ordering this drink for years and I'm sure I know how much espresso was added by the looks and taste of it. read more

Starbucks - Doesn't look like a TRIPLE espresso, 2 pumps WM with a splash of 2% milk to me. Hmm.. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Good drinks but but really disappointed with this location. no high chair for my child is upsetting.

The baristas here tend to be much slower than the other locations...I find myself in the drive thru lane much longer than normal. The staff isn't so friendly here either. A simple good morning or a "hey how's it going" goes a long way. I ordered a simple iced black coffee and a breakfast sandwich. The meat in my sandwich happened to have been cold too-A few minutes longer in the oven would've been greatly appreciated, I mean I did have a long wait already...what's another 3 minutes. I'll be back again...it's the closest location to my work...hopefully it's a better experience next time. read more

Very slow drive thru- I could have easily ran in and out by now. Have been sitting in the drive thru for over 20 min now and still not at the window. If I wasn't stuck in this line I surely would have left already. Never been in such a slow drive thru ever. Crazy! read more

Finally a fast and friendly drive thu! Been here 2 times and each time they have been very friendly and quick! My drinks come out extra hot just like I ask and the don't engage in odd conversation at the window, it's natural and pleasant. Haven't been inside, but I'm sure it's good, since it's been open only a couple of weeks ... Or less. Welcome to the neighborhood, it's been long overdue starbucks! #drivethru read more

Shitty service always closed. Definitely one of the worst Starbucks i've been to. Refuse to take customers even after saying they're open. We were on of the last cars to make the cut in the drive thru but when it came time to take our order, they ignored us and refused to help us. read more

I begin this with saying that I've frequented this facility since they opened. Sure! The drive thru is speedy, but it's a hit or a miss with beverages.. today for example I requested a tall soy mocha with an add shot and wound up with a grande. I did not request the size I received and I didn't bother to complain because I just wasn't in the mood to fight anymore so I paid the extra fee and got out of there. This is the fourth mishap I've dealt with in this particular Starbucks. The drinks are also a hit or miss... Just like Forrest Gump says: Life is like a box of chocolates, ya never know what you gonna get" Same goes for this Starbucks. One day it tastes like a Mocha.. The next it tastes like raw ass. I'm done... Since dealing with the same hit or miss whenever I frequent this or most Starbucks in this county I have decided to stick with Black Rock Coffee Bar.. They haven't let me down in consistency... Which listen here Starbucks!!! It's what people want, and what they keep going back for! CONSISTENCY. Asta la vista babayy!! ::salutes:: read more

Took 30 mins from standing in line to getting my order. When I was waiting, one of the baristas had my sausage and egg sandwich, and the other baristas rudely said, "that sandwich is for her." She could've definitely said it nicer. Also, the lady taking orders (Megan), was pretty rude (considering I've seen her about 3 times and at the same mood each time. They have a good amount of people working but they seem so slow :( read more

Beautiful, new drive through starbucks in Oceanside! Yay! Everything is updated, like it's the starbucks of the future! The barista didn't write on my cup, she just entered everything into her fancy new computer and my iced tea was up before I was finished paying! Lots of space for meetings or whatever including a huge, central table that seats at least 14. read more

It's unfortunate to see all these negative reviews about this Starbucks location. I visit here a couple of times a week and the drive-thru girl (wish I could catch her name one of these times!) is always very cheerful and nice. They have never made my coffee incorrect and I am very pleased with their service. Keep it up! read more

Continually disappointed with the customer service and quality of drinks. This store needs a major refresher on Starbucks third place environment and beverage quality standards. I ordered a mocha with a pump of vanilla in the drive through today and got a hot chocolate- they forgot to put the espresso shots in my drink. This isn't the first order they've messed up either. It's unfortunate because it is the closest one to my house and the drive through is convenient, but from now on I'll be going to the lobby store down the street. read more

Starbucks - They heard the order correctly, they just didn't put the espresso in it. Poor quality of attention towards the basics of your job. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AT GRAND OPENING Happy to have a new Starbucks in this area, especially if heading north into Oceanside, you can happily avoid Mission, in exchange for a happy new team in a brand new building that has a DRIVE THRU for groggy, on the way to work Starbucks stops Happy! I am dancin' my way to this new Starbucks quite often! read more

As a Northwest Native, I grew up going to Starbucks, and although it generally isn't coffee for the true "coffee connoisseur ", it usually will do and often gives me a feeling of home since moving here three years ago. However, we get three coffee drinks several times per week and more often then not, the drinks are bitter and taste burnt. I am not sure if this happens during the espresso drink making process or if the product comes to the store like that, but it needs to be addressed. Perhaps it is because people are not as particular about their coffee in Southern California but the quality should be the same and it leaves Starbucks open for another coffee company, like Dutch Brothers or another NW company, to come in and take away business. Please keep quality control a number one goal because it is non existent now. read more

I'm gonna get straight to the point, this location has some of the rudest baristas I've EVER had to deal with at Starbucks. I feel like it's just common knowledge that Starbucks baristas are notorious for hating their jobs and making it feel like it's customers fault that their job is so horrible, but this is by far the worst I've ever seen it. I ordered a very simple drink (and I know it's one of the more simple drinks to make because I have friends and family that work at Starbucks and they let me in on the scoop so I don't order drinks that are annoying and complicated) and I was standing not very far away from the bar when I heard two baristas essentially talking sh*t about the drink I ordered. Very shamelessly, not very quietly, talking about how the drink I ordered was sooooo hard to make and the fact that I modified it with *gasp* oat milk made it even more complicated. On top of that, apparently putting cold foam on top of your drink really pisses off the baristas they do NOT like going out of their way to make a drink they were hired and paid to make. I could hear every word they were saying as they were ridiculing they way I ordered my drink, the flavor I had chose, and the fact that I was so stupid for ordering such a drink. When the barista handed out the drink, instead of saying my name that was posted on the sticker, they said "here's your drink" in a snarky tone and I was not the only one in the cafe so it could've been anyone's drink. In fact their was a man standing in front of me so it very easily could've been his? Why didn't they just say the name on the cup? I have no idea. I'm so sorry you chose to work at Starbucks and making my tiny drink was SUCH an inconvenience to you that you openly talked about how annoying I was. You can thank your lucky stars that I work in the service industry as well and recognize that people have bad days, otherwise I would've been talking to the manager about your shi**y a*s attitude. However, 9 times out of 10 at this location, this is this kind of service you will receive. There was one girl in the drive thru who actually entertained the drink I ordered and thought it sounded really good but that was the only good experience I've had out of this location. Be better please, it's not that hard to be kind to people ESPECIALLY in a time like this. read more

Ummmmm GROSS....This Starbucks was disgusting... 1. Fizz machine broken 2. Spilled food and drinks spilled on the counter and no one cleaning it up. 3. No one bussing the tables. 4. Watched an employee reuse a cup... NEVER have I seen a Starbucks behave this way and I visit many, many locations almost daily!! read more

Rude as hell employees. Watched a guy make my drink using dairy blender when it was soy. Then watched him dilute it to all hell. He threw it at me as if I should have been grateful for a $10.25 beverage that he took ZERO care to craft. Starbucks has become McDonald's in the coffee world. No one working there actually knows how to make coffee or anything regarding crafting a drink. It's child employees need to be properly trained both on customer service and recipes. A woman who I would guess was a manager then proceeded to tell me his is how it is and I can take it or she can put more ice in it for me ... ?? God only knows what the customer doesn't see. This location is by far the worst in the area. Take your business to the plaza by chevron if you HAVE to get a Starbucks bc you will be sadly disappointed here. read more

The positive attitude and employee engagement was amazing. They were busy, mostly drive through and took a minute to get to me, I walked in. They did acknowledge me the moment I stepped up to place an order. The girl who took my order was fast and personable. The barista who made my drink called my name after a few minutes, just to let me know she was making my drink and had not forgotten about me. I worked at Starbucks many years ago and expect the best. This was a great experience. Nice job! Thank you for still having eggnog. read more

PROS: Employees at this Starbucks are quite nice, it's clean, and it's a got a good atmosphere. CONs: I often find that the drinks that I would like to buy aren't available, a couple of times due to things like being out of lemonade. Passion tea lemonade does *not* taste good with limeade as a substitute, as an FYI. It was like immediately when they opened too on a hot August day so I don't know how they could have run out. read more

Why is it that when Starbucks runs out of the single container of half-and-half that they don't have a second one readily available? And why is it that you have to go through employee attitude and a five minute wait to get a second container of half-and-half? This Starbucks has poor employee management.They need a new manager at the Starbucks so that their employees could learn to be friendly and actually helpful. Poor customer service read more

Update: came back because I have a gift card and it's close to my work, the staff seems really friendly despite on how busy it is.. Guess It was just that one guy maybe he's having a bad day. read more
