Well, I would start with giving five stars to the staff because two different staff members greeted me the moment I walked in the door and that was very nice. Their shelf of gift items looked really good, and their bakery selection looked nice too. I bought a gift card for Mother's Day present for someone. There were many options for teacher gift cards, but only one Mother's Day card, which was fine. I did get two sweet treats from the bakery. Hands-down, the chocolate chip cookie is the way to go if you want something sweet and a traditional chocolate chip cookie. I don't know why the Dubai brownie bite caught my eye, but it did and I got that too. The Dubai brownie bite is not very sweet so be aware of that and I don't really know what was in the middle, but I didn't like it very much. It's like the brownie was trying to be healthy and trendy but it missed the Mark on both and it just wasn't delicious like the chocolate chip cookie was. But anyways, it was a nice experience in the store because of how nice the employees were. Parking is pretty rough there because of the businesses that are doing well so that's a good reason to have not optimum parking but most people used to drive-through anyway. read more

This location is the LOUSIEST Starbucks we've ever set foot in. My drink (a simple espresso blended drink) cones to a grand total of $4.95 each day at our neighborhood Starbucks. Their extremely rude barista "Nikki" today demanded $12+ for the exact same drink our local Starbucks makes for $4.95. Manipulative "Nikki" kept me waiting around more than 1/2 hour to speak with her "manager Vicki" who ended up not even existing. Nikki happily skipped off from her ship leaving me still waiting to speak with "Vicki". Come to find the actual manager is "Kelly". Kelly stated up to me already annoyed that I'd dared to question her staff about the inflated cost of my drink. Kelly strikes me to be an immature person with a little bit of power. read more

I just got the fastest made mobile order of my life. I pressed order while I was walking, less than 30ft from the store and it was ready almost as soon as I came in. Staff were nice, I didn't talk to them other than asking for a straw bc it was a mobile order but I was really impressed. Inside was nice and clean and I like the setup inside. It looks like it would be a good place to get work done. I got the lavender matcha which is my fave and it tastes great. read more

I frequent this location weekly on my drive to work. Always a speedy drive thru with nice staff. Drinks always come out correct. I've gone inside once and they have plenty of sitting space. read more

Put in a mobile order on 1/1. All systems were running correctly. When I arrived no one answered in the drive thru, doors were locked. But employees were inside. Still was charged for my drink and food even though it was never received. Called the 800 number said that their hours changed and they would not be open until 1/2. At least block off the drive thru, turn off your machines. Horrible customer service they just stood there and looked at you, no I'm sorry we're not open right now. Nada nothing so unprofessional. Have some common respect. Get it together Starbucks. read more

Went through drive-thru this evening and came home to find out both of my drinks I ordered were not filled to the top. Disappointing when we pay about $15 for drinks and can't even trust that they are filled. read more

This is one of my favorite Starbucks! For a drive-thru location, it has enough seating indoors and out. The baristas are helpful when I can't decide on a drink, and all of them have been very friendly! The sweets are fresh and delicious, too. The parking is pretty good because there is a much larger lot a few yards' walk away. I have found the bathroom to be clean also, which is a good indicator of a store. read more

We were there at 3:45, the line wasn't long and we ordered quickly . They had lots of all day breakfast sandwiches. My son ordered the bacon egg and Gouda sandwich. Loved it ! The staff was very nice too . It's pretty open and spacious inside with plenty of seating. Our order was ready within 10 minutes. We will go back soon ! read more

You think a company as big as Starbucks would drill consistency into their employees heads, but somehow I order the same drink every single time I'm there and it comes out different 9/10 times. I know other people who have expressed this same problem with this location so I know it's not just me. It's a simple drink order, cold brew, hazelnut and light cream. Sometimes I get a glass of milk with a splash of cold brew. I don't understand how something so simple can get messed up or come out different every time I order. read more

Usually I like this Starbucks but the blonde girl working at 2 pm today had a nasty attitude and was just very rude to me. This is the first one star review I've ever given but I'd give zero if I could. read more

usually my drink is on point when i come; hats off to the staff. they're usually pretty sweet, it's quick in the drive thru, and my order isn't messed up or completely wrong. however, once had a mishap with another starbucks and came to this one to ask for an additional pump of syrup, and was told this wasn't allowed and can't do it again. not just that, but i came in a separate time and asked for a side of oatmilk and was given barely ANY in a side cup. im aware they can't fill the entire cup, but it was just so little it barely felt like enough for my espresso. what seemed to be upper management that day (who helped me out) was being skimpy and not very friendly. most of the baristas are nice besides that. read more

I don't remember the last time I actually stepped foot into a starbucks, let alone during COVID. I usually drive thru, but today my kiddos and I went inside to see one of the baristas and spend a gift card. Our favorite barista, Sarah, was as friendly as could be. Drink were made quickly and out before we knew it. The drive thru line seemed to be busy and all the employees were hustling to keep the line moving. Great job! If I'm in the area, I'll stop in! read more

As a frequent customer here, this is my go to place considering it's near my gym where I work out. This also makes go to place for studying. The crew here is very synergized, cordial, and capable of providing "A level" service. A staple of this place that I usually order is the "Nitro Cold Brew", and my favorite sweet treats is the Chai tea latte or Mocha Frappuccino. There has never been a day we're my patience has been tested nor a day of contempt at this location. The atmosphere of this aligns well with my values of humility and taste in coffee. This Starbucks location is my favorite of the best I can go to. read more

Nice, clean, new location on Melrose. That makes 3 within a few miles of each other, right on Melrose. This location is spacious inside, and the staff is friendly. There is a large parking lot as this shopping center used to have a Ralphs (it is going to be a gym soon). It also has a drive thru. read more

There was a time when I would review more chain restaurants, stores, etc. However, I feel most people know what to expect on a basic level. Yet chain stores do sometimes have differences (the kind that can make all the difference of where you choose to go when you can). One may pay more in gas and drive a little further to get there. Some shops may have larger selections of merchandise and brighter teams. Many have improved service and better layouts. I'm more inclined to stay a little longer and enjoy the space when a place exceeds my expectations. I admit I will travel to a certain degree for exemplary service, I always have and always will. This week I was ecstatic because I found what I would call my "absolute favorite" Starbucks location in North County San Diego! Why you might ask? First, it's new with a wide open layout. I liked the seating options. Secondly, the team that served me were what I would deem a dream team! Maybe, it was a good afternoon. They were enthusiastic in their service, proud to show off their new location and quite knowledgable of their latest product offerings and specialty beverages. It didn't hurt that this new location had nitro on tap! The dream team offered me a celebratory opening shot that we shared! How fun is that! So, although a chain is a chain, no two are alike. There will always be one better than the rest. I know which McDonalds locally has the "hottest" fries, I know which Jamba Juice keeps their juice machine "running" till closing versus cleaning it early so the staff can go home. And...now, I know exactly which Starbucks chain store, will offer me a more than ordinary experience! Let's keep the nitro alive! #NCSD #Oceanside #NitroOnTap #DreamTeam #NotYourOrdinaryStarbucks read more

Really enjoyed my service here at this location has always been my go to spot. Today I ordered ahead on mobile and went in to pick up I noticed one item taking a bit longer so I just waited. Thankfully a staff informed me they no longer had that item and kindly asked how I would like my item replaced or refund. Very kind and giving myself options. I said no worries a pumpkin loaf is just fine since I only ordered a ham and cheese croissant. When they came to bring it out to me they handed me a lil courtesy gift card. Love to see a team work well and engage customers. Very happy with my service. Thank you! read more

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

I came in on a busy Sunday morning and was so impressed by the efficiency of the team. There were about 10 people working and all of them had great attitudes, fast-paced work, and it ran so smoothly! Names of employees are: Gretchen, Garrett, Aaron, Britt, Emily, Andy, and the others were at the driveway window so I couldn't catch their names. Garrett stood out with customer service and friendliness. Update: I dropped my straw and went back inside after 15 minutes or so and Garrett immediately says, "What can I get for you, Kelsey?" WHAT?! He remembered my name! He just smiled and laughed it off, but holy smokes, that was amazing. I don't know him or anyone on the team, but I think I am now a super fan of this Starbucks haha! Thanks again! read more

This Starbucks skimps me -all the time- on syrup shots. I like a sweet Vanilla/Carmel late. Knowing their tendency to under sweeten these sort of drink I have my order set for 6 shots of vanilla and 6 shots of caramel. 75% of the time it tastes "decent" - they don't give you full shots. But anyway, the reason I'm writing this now, is because I just came from there again and come home w/ my 12 syrup shot late and it tastes like a GD plain late. WTF am I paying $6+ dollars for. Don't go to this one. The new one on Hacienda knows how to "pump the pump". I wouldn't be so upset if this wasn't a trend w/ this one.....meh.' (edit: GF, who was angry I was actually considering calling about this, finally got back to her desk to work. Shouted over to me that, "If it makes you feel any better my coffee isn't good either" - she got the "Iced Toasted Vanilla Oakmilk Shaken expresso") read more

Nothing but idiotic kids not paying attention to the customers I ordered a simple iced coffee with some cream on top and guess what they left it sitting at the drive-through window while I'm standing there and they're clearly not doing anything instead of talking about SpongeBob maybe they can ask hey have you been helped yet do you have your drink After six minutes of waiting for the simple coffee The only male there gives me a half ass "sorry about that" I'm going to Dunkin' Donuts at least they know how to do their shit right read more

Efficient, smooth location! Ordered online the app, and everything was on time. They have drive-thru and parking (it's sort of in the corner by the McDonald's). Staff are helpful and efficient, and patrons are patient drivers navigating the parking lot and drive-thru line. read more

Never coming back to this location. The barista named Nat was the most RUDE person I've ever encounter. Wow She surely hated her job, which did not hesitated to reflect it on the customers!!! Not helpful at all instead of trying to understand the customer need, the type of coffee I wanted, she just had this smirk smile on her face like making fun of me while I try to explain what type of coffee I wanted! All I wanted is an iced-blended sugar-free coffee! How hard is that for her to try to accommodate my needs and PUT ICE ON THE COFFE AND put it in the blender!. Her attitude and disrespect toward me "the customer" was extremely unprofessional and totally disappointed reflecting the poor and bad management of the entire store. . . So sad. Starbucks You need to hire more professional and customer oriented employees. read more

I spend my mornings at this Starbucks location. It's spacious, everyone is friendly, and they get the job done. They are very accommodating whether it's a mistake on their part or yours. Don't be afraid to speak up because they are absolutely willing to help make your Starbucks run a great one. My favorite crew member is Michael! I have a difficult name, and he has always made it a mission to get it write with pronunciation and spelling. He's the best! All the crewmembers are great, and this is my favorite location to get work done at because I can guarantee that the service will be good. read more

First time visiting this location and they did not disappoint! I was greeted at the window by Garett, super friendly and had amazing customer service skills. I know drive thru's can get busy but it's nice to see when people can still look past all the chaos and do an amazing job. Many thanks!!! read more

First off, as a new Starbucks this places is beautiful. Aesthetically pleasing. They have a bunch of succulents outside, and I have to stop myself from pickin them for my own garden, but they are beautiful. The inside is just as nice. It's big and spacious. Almost always pretty clean, except after a giant rush- which is understandable. The partners are trying to get everyone's drinks and food as quickly as possible so.. It can get pretty slow some times so usually between 10-2ish is a good time to come through and just enjoy the quiet of the store. And after 5pm too. It's p much a ghost town till they close. *i spend waaaay too much time here* The staff is great. They're very patient and accommodating. Even to the really mean and entitled customers- which I don't understand why they act that way, it's just a cup of coffee lady. Is it really gonna wreck your day? Maybe learn the name of the drink you want instead of comin up with a name. It literally says it on the name on the menu board. "Luxe Life Carmel Frappe?" This ain't McDonalds. They serve frappuccinos. Come on these people work long hours for not enough pay. Calm yourself. Sorry. This is becoming more of a review about that nasty customer. Haha. Tangent. Anyway. This place is the bee's knees. It's not as busy as the one up the street, and more space the one down the street. It's just right. read more

This is a new location and has only been open for a month or two. It is very pretty, clean, modern, has patio seating, and is a prime location if you ask me. However, I do live super close so I am kind of bias. The staff are super friendly and the service has always been efficient and timely. I usually order a vanilla cream cold brew with light ice or a chai frappe with an add shot AKA "dirty chai." My order is always correct, and always satisfying. See ya tomorrow Starbucks! read more

Asked for a Caramel Macchiato with almond milk. Instead I get drink with regular milk. I was too far to return drink. I don't ask for almond milk to be fancy. Being lactose intolerant sucks. read more

Really bad location. I've been cut off by rude drivers coming the other way more than once trying to get ahead of me in line so they can save 30 seconds. More often than not they are out of whatever you want and the high school kids working here, really don't seem to care at all. read more

I always go through this drive thru and leave impressed. The line never takes too long and drinks are always spot on. The best part is how nice the baristas are. They actually seem like they enjoy their job. One girl is always there, Mariah. She's the sweetest thing. She genuinely takes time to know her regulars. She really is a breath of fresh air. We are all frustrated because we haven't had our caffeine yet to start our day then we get her positive attitude and our coffee?? Crazy how the Starbucks barista can make your day so much better. I wanted to make sure she got recognition for how great she is. Even topped it off with a water because she knows I'm dying! Best location. Best workers. I'll always go out of my way for this location. read more

My favorite Starbucks! All the baristas are very friendly including the manager. They attempt to get to know their regulars :) I love sitting at the long bar height table.

The employees typically do not greet people when you walk in and you are left standing waiting to see when and if anyone will wait on you. Mobile orders are left sitting while you stand and wait. They need to bring back customer service! read more

Do not attempt this Starbucks if you are in any type of hurry. Don't be fooled if you see 0 or 1 car in the drive-thru; you'll still wait at least 10 minutes for your drink, despite the 5 employees all "working." And by working I mean milling around and talking. And don't think it will be faster to go inside because it's not. They apparently make orders in the order they come in, not one barista dedicated to inside and one on drive thru. read more

Another swing, another miss. Wanted to give them one more chance so I stopped here to get some breakfast. Went inside and the place is chaotic again. Several people moving around but nobody really getting anything done. One lady in front of me complained that she's been sitting here for 10 minutes and still hadn't received her order. She walked back to her friend saying if she wouldn't of said something she would've never received it. The girl told her it was because the person operating the register was new. Should they be operating the register then? After waiting about 10 minutes for my breakfast bites I overhear a tall girl with glasses complaining about customers complaining about her. She tells the other employee that every time she gets a complaint it's on a Saturday, like she really believes it's the day of the week responsible for complaints. My guess is it's the service and the work ethic. To complain about something like this within ear shot of customers is not only unprofessional it affects the customers and the staff. All in all this store lacks supervision, accountability and basic cleanliness. Would think this would be something Starbucks would have down by now. read more
