I ask for a coffee and they give me another thing, right know it's hurting my stomach because I think they use a expired milk... really bad

I always seem to have complicated transactions at this location. IE star redemption, $1 off, 1/2 off etc. they always figure it out for me and I'm out of there pretty quickly. The staff is usually very friendly too.

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.

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 !

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.

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.

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

Good friendly service, and a good Venti Hot Americano (could've been hotter though). On this Saturday the mobile ordering ahead NOT available. Starbucks pricing has catapulted into the stratospheric heights though.

Nice new Starbucks location. Wish it had been open when I lived in the area. Wi-Fi is much slower than most other Starbucks though.

Friendly staff, never too busy or too long of a wait, plenty of parking, and a drive-thru.

Went on Mother's Day a little after 1:00 pm and I did not expect it to be as busy as it was…read more Located in Bressi Ranch by Sprouts and other small businesses, parking wasn't difficult. Walking up there was a bit of a line but it was moving at a fair pace. It gave us the opportunity to really read the menu above the register well. There's both outdoor and indoor seating. And both areas were pretty full with a bustling vibe. There were specialty drinks so I wanted to try the Pistachio latte but they were out so we ended up trying the Left Coast latte, Vanilla Bean latte, a plain bagel and Lil Dippers. The lattes were wonderful. Smooth and tasty. The Lil Dippers (mini burritos) were pretty substantial and the plain bagel surprisingly was the best we've ever had at any coffee place. SO good! Great taste and perfect texture. It was unfortunate though that the cream cheese cup that comes with it didn't suffice. It wasn't at all enough for a good ratio. And to think that at one point my bagel was forgotten by the employees. I would've missed out! Overall, we're so glad we went, it was worth it!

This location feels cozy from the moment you walk in. Friendly service and excellent coffee &…read morematcha. My one hold-up from 5 stars was the difficulty in finding the shop. I didn't notice it driving around the parking lot. I had to call only to leave a voice message asking where is Bird Rock. I walked around for about 10 minutes until I finally found it. They should have outdoor signs to make it easier to spot while driving.

Great coffee shop, love it. But, today (10/9/26, 10 AM) I was troubled with the way a few employees…read moretreated an older man with shaking hands. He was handed his coffee and then an employee handed him a lid for his coffee. The lady should have asked for his cup of coffee and put the lid on for him. He was unable to get the lid on and spilled his whole cup on the table stand. I noticed it right away and started helping him and soaking up the spilled coffee with napkins. The employees said, "We'll be there in a minute" and when a young lady employee came over eventually and said to me, "let's not waste any more napkins, I'll take care of this." That is insensitive and uncalled for. You should have some in-house training on how to treat customers with dignity and courtesy and not be so busniess-like and abrupt. I will continue to be a customer of La Costa Coffee Roasting, I'm just making a candid comment because it will make your business better.

So glad I stopped by this coffee shop! I always appreciate one that roasts their own coffee beans…read more I think it makes them stand out and much more unique than the others. I tried one of their summer specials, an Iced Banana Maple Latte with soy milk. I loved how bold and intense the flavor of the coffee was without it being overwhelming; however, I did not taste the banana or maple flavors at all. It just tasted like a straight up sweetened iced latte. Don't get me wrong, it's a great latte. But I guess I was just expecting to get more of the banana and maple flavors, especially since I was pretty excited about that flavor combination. The staff were welcoming and friendly, and the ambiance was great. I love that they have their roasting machine right where people can observe and watch the process if they wanted to. They have ample tables and chairs indoor, and a few outdoor as well. I'm pretty sure I'll be coming back here. I'll probably try the Caramel Cream Latte next time.

This is a different location for Pannikin as it is a lot smaller than their other locations, but it…read moreis very calm and inviting. Definitely a great space to work, study, meet up with a few friends or family. A few tables inside and outside for seating options. This is probably the easiest location to find parking though! The barista we recently experienced was kind but definitely needed help as it was just her taking orders and making drinks. It did take a while to get everything made and we even had to give our order multiple times for each item for her to process it in their POS system. If it was busier it would have been an even longer wait, thank goodness it was just us. I love the Jimi Hendrix as my usual, but I decided to switch it up once I saw they had brown sugar spice latte on their seasonal menu. It was as delicious as expected. Not as strong as the Jimi Hendrix, but just as flavorful. My husband has his regular latte and loved it as usual. We just love their specific coffee for espresso. Their baked goods here are as lovely as other locations. Everything is made in house too. I love their variety of options, especially their vegan/gluten free options. Something for everyone! I had the raspberry gluten free muffin and my husband had the jalapeño cheddar cheese croissant. Couldn't even tell the muffin was gluten free it was SO moist! I was lucky to get a bite of the croissant before my husband devoured it all. Definitely made in house and a real layered croissant. Love their theme at this location too due to being close to the Carlsbad McClellan-Palomar airport!

Excited that we found a Pannikin nearer to us in Carlsbad so we had to check it out…read more Located in a business park, it was a bit difficult to find but when we did, we saw that it was located right next door to the famous Prager Brothers bakery. It's a very small but cute place, a miniature of the bigger Pannikin off Highway 101 in Encinitas. There's a couple of small tables on its patio and more inside. It's a great place to meet a friend or two for coffee. I went 2 days in a row, Friday afternoon and mid-morning on Saturday and both times weren't busy at all. The baristas are warm & friendly, and gave us a choice of using ceramic cups and/or plates if dining in or to-go containers. Their coffee is one of the best around and they sell their coffee beans here. They also have various baked goods they make on site which I was excited for, because their scones are my absolute favorite, especially the raspberry. So happy to have found this place and recommended it to family and friends. We'll definitely be back!
