I was really surprised at how short the line was at this location. Especially on a busy holiday Saturday. I Walked in and my drink was waiting thanks to ordering in the app. The tables and chairs were full, but no one was in line to order. The staff seemed very friendly. Happy to help with a small request. Big smiles. The location looks pretty new. It was very clean and sparkling. Everybody seemed happy. I only got a drink. No food this time. But usual Starbucks quality and consistency on their drink. Plenty of parking. It is in a very large strip mall with some large box businesses. So that was not an issue. read more

Every time I come in, the workers are SO kind and positive. It's a guarantee I stop here when in the area. They also make REALLY good coffee. Sometimes other Starbucks aren't up to par (IYKYK), but the drinks, food, and service here is excellent. Give everyone a raise immediately. Vibes are impeccable. read more

A cold croissant and a frap with no sugar just makes my heart sad. I hope your day gets better queen.

They suck now! No matter how slow or busy it is they always take forever and most of the time my drinks are always wrong. They need to get it together especially since this shopping center is always busy. Hopefully they get it together because this place used to be good read more

Parked and walked by, it was around 5pm. The door had a sign that said the lobby was closed. Went into 5 Below, World Market, Nordstrom Rack, and walked by AppleBees to come back and see if they reopened the lobby. They did not. Came back at 7:18pm and got in the drive thru since their hours are late. 1 car is in front of us and we get to the speaker and they say they're closing early for to a store emergency. Which is fine, but the car in front got to order. And it's just us, a car behind us, and a car behind them. Taking 3 more orders I don't think would hurt since you don't know what would be ordered. read more

The bad reviews are just disgruntled people with nothing to live for. This location is a Starbucks. Every Starbucks is the same. Great service happy employees good coffee, what more do you need? read more

Horrible customer service. I asked to use the restroom and the barista said I have to purchase something. I told her I had purchased a coffee earlier and she still said I had to buy something. Making rules at her own judgement. There is nothing in the company policy of having to purchase to use the bathroom. I was forced to buy a water to go to the restroom. might as well do a token system at the door of the loo read more

Be cautious when coming here. They give you the third degree when using their restroom. Codes didn't work. I was planning to buy a beverage but they were so rude I just want to boycott the brand. I think they have lost their way. Maybe the baristas need more training in customer service. read more

I just went to this Starbucks on Vista Way. I had the pleasure to be greeted by Madison. She has amazing customer service skills. She was friendly, quick and serves with a smile that could bitten any one's day. Thank you Madison for being a perfect example of how everyone should treat their guests. read more

I have been coming to this location for years and I finally feel the staff is great! Very friendly and welcoming. I used to never be greeted or helped with trying to get my mobile orders that they store behind the counter. Now this is not the case. Everyone is friendly, drinks are made quickly and accurately, and the mood in the store seems happier. They definitely were short staffed during COVID so that left a lasting effect. Store is usually clean and plenty of tables indoor and outside. They still had some holiday drinks left which made my day as well. Drinks and food are now at the same level as every Starbucks. read more

I'm from out of town... was looking forward to a nice cold drink for me and my family... cups are paper, lids are paper, and straws are paper. Ruins the complete drink . This city policy of having paper everything is ridiculous. Skip this place, as it's a waste of money. read more

Coffee is as expected. I had an Americano with a splash of oat milk and it was made perfectly. There is a large patio area with several tables and chairs but you are facing a busy intersection. They were super busy, which is probably normal for this location. read more

This location used to be my go-to location, but I ran into so many issues with trying to order from this location I actually stopped ordering here all together, which was a bummer the staff (during COVID) was so great. However, since mid 2021, it feels like everytime I check if they're accepting mobile orders (let alone open) they never are, which really just isn't something I can fit into my morning before I get to work. it's a bummer for sure. I've been there one time since, when I was on a work break and the staff they had messed up my order, my drink was basically undrinkable which is always a bummer. So heads up I wouldn't count on this location for mobile orders, or honestly to be open for all their normal hours anymore. read more

Sophie was absolutely Rude. She misheard on the radio and had an attitude asking for clarification. Very condescending tone.

Love this Starbucks, but both walk in and drive thru were closed at 8:15. Yelp says hours were updated a month ago and they are to be open until 11 pm. What's up?? There were 3 people working inside. read more

From the recent reviews I was expecting the unexpected. Fortunately I was served my drink quickly and the barista got it right. At 5:30 pm on a Thursday evening, there were seven customers and three employees here. Other than the sound of the baristas and the background music, all was quiet. A very pleasant experience. read more

$7 for a drink that is missing almost half of the drink.. this is crazy besides going through the drive through they had me park to get my drink. Never had an issue until I realize my cup didn't feel normal and I normally always have a Starbucks every other day or almost everyday and it wasn't so heavy so I decided to open it and I never open my hot drinks. I get that hot drinks tend to go down because of the steam/foam but to be missing almost half is outrageous especially with the prices. Obviously I don't mind the prices but I expect to receive what I pay for which is my whole drink. read more

Worst Starbucks. their working hours are absolute garbage. not even sure why this is even a thing

I can not express my appreciation for this location enough. The staff is always so incredibly friendly, the drinks never taste burnt or gross (have this issue elsewhere), and it's so welcoming. My son and I love stopping here before our day starts and can't wait to see the new location, as long as the staff doesn't change! read more

These days I rarely go to Starbucks. There's so many amazing options out there... I decided to make a quick stop because yesterday was the beginning of fall, and I thought my boy and I could take a minute and hang out. As we went to the bathroom an employee came out. I was shocked at the state of it, let alone the fact that an employee would leave the bathroom so messy. I thought I'd be a little sassy and order a pour-over, but was basically talked out of it. I get really frustrated when coffee employees talk me out of the drink that I've got in mind. :( Whilst sitting outside I was also shocked at the state of the sitting area. Absolutely no pride taken. I'm never going back. If an employee leaves the bathroom a complete mess, what's she doing to my coffee? Drink for thought. read more

my order took me 35 minutes to get today. i so regret not waiting in the 4x longer line at dutch bros. horrible mistake to order pick up from here considering i was trying to avoid waiting in the drive thru line and since the cafe part is closed there's no other option! the guy at the window was so rude when i came to pick up my order saying "wow that was so long ago!" and being extremely sarcastic. first off, i was the one inconvenienced and i never gave any attitude to begin with. sorry they hate their lives working at this establishment! most ghetto starbucks and worst coffee shop experience ever. yuck! theres probably a toilet clogged or some isht read more

Something about Starbucks coffee makes me feel sick. I don't get this feeling drinking coffee from any other brand. I definitely recommend folks to drink other coffee and compare--you will never go back. read more

When they're open, the staff are nice and helpful, but I'm so confused about the hours! I went in the drive through line last night at 7:15pm, and no one answered for ordering, and when I drove up to the window, I could see someone at the cash register maybe looking through receipts possibly? But no answer there either, and their hours posted on the window showed they were open until 8pm. I noticed there have been other reviews that mention something similar, very strange. Hopefully a manager takes a look at these Yelp reviews soon and responds! read more

I've been to this location a few times. Today, I put in a mobile order and service was TERRIBLY slow. My first drink came within about 5 minutes of ordering and the second drink about 10 mins later. There were a lot of people standing by the drink counter waiting for their drinks, so you know something was off. My hubby didn't like his mocha frap- said it tasted off. Mine was same old same old just took way too long to get. They might have been short staffed (2 girls working) but looking at the reviews, it seems like a trend. This isn't even a drive-through location! Enough said! read more

I have been coming to this Starbucks location from time to time for years, and it used to be one of my favorites to stop in at, but over the past few months I have noticed a complete 180, particularly in the staff at this store. Today's visit was the straw that broke the camel's back, and unfortunately likely my last visit. When I walked in I already noticed a weird vibe - there were about 8-10 other patrons inside, either standing or sitting around waiting (I assumed) on their drinks, as they all had their eyes glued to the small bar where drinks get passed off. I stood in line behind one other person, and waited my turn. As soon as I stepped up to the register, the girl stationed there kept her eyes down, continuing to write on several cups. No greeting or acknowledgement was offered, so I browsed the snacks and fall-themed reusable cups while I waited. When she finally raised her gaze, she immediately said, "I'll be right back," and disappeared to the back, returning less than 30 seconds later with a large cube container of something liquid for the bar. I asked to please load my card first, and then placed my order for two iced teas. She didn't ask my name, ask whether I wanted a receipt or even thanked me to end the transaction, but just immediately went back to writing cups so I awkwardly moved aside to wait by the bar. The vibe got even more weird as I watched everyone side-eyeing each other, probably trying to gauge their further wait by attempting to figure out who ordered before who, because drinks were trickling out at a sluggish pace despite there being two baristas behind the bar. Eventually once about 10 minutes of waiting had passed, I was about to just give up and go ask for a refund, but the "friendly" girl at the register was tending to a line of about 4-5 new customers at this point. Thankfully, I finally saw one of the baristas reach for an iced tea shaker so I decided to wait while she worked at a sloth's pace to add the tea, then water, ice and shake x2. Finally, after about 15 minutes of waiting I was out the door with two iced teas that cost me $7.50 and most of my sanity. Unless and until they clean up their staff, I will avoid this location like the plague. read more

I really like this Starbucks for its location, friendly workers, and there's rarely a line. What else can I say- I like the vibe here!

Worst Starbucks I've been to in a long time. Not busy at all, no drive through, no call ahead orders, 3 people behind the counter and 20 minute wait for Americano. read more

Placed a mobile order for (2) Grande hot chocolates. When I picked them up, I thought they felt a little light to me but I didn't really give it a second thought as I just wanted to get out of there since the store was starting to get crowded with people. When I got home, I took the lid off (and we hadn't taken a sip of our drinks yet since we had drink stoppers on them) and noticed they were halfway full! I pretty much got ripped off. If I wanted a child size hot chocolate, I would've ordered it. My husband's drink was halfway full as well. I've never had a problem with my drinks here in the past so I'm not sure if they have someone new making the drinks but I'll avoid this store for a bit until they get baristas that know how to make the proper size drinks. read more

The staff is super slow here, the store small and hot and stuffy but our coffee tasted great so this location is still ok in my book. Service was nice, but I had to repeat my order several times and wait a good 10 minutes to get it. Easy parking in the lot out front, great hours. Would not go out of my way to return to this location but worked out fine. read more

I know, I know, reviewing starbucks. Just wanted to note the staff are super friendly at this location and move pretty quickly. Caramel Flan Latte (grande add shot w/soy milk): I will simply die if someone reviews this drink and talks about how it is not an "authentic" flan flavor. I know somewhere in the Yelp universe it will be written. I can feel it. I don't know what I was expecting with this. I am always a sucker for any new or seasonal drink. Anyway tastes like a caramel late. Flan is actually just a sweet light flavor anyway, so its not that far off. Needed a mid day pick me up and they made it happen! read more

Worst customer service I've ever experienced. Very rude to customers then laughs about it in front of me. A simple question couldn't be answered. Such a disgrace. This location needs new employees that have better manners and respect for other people. That know what customer service is about. Management needs to step in, if they care. read more

I haven't been in this Starbucks for a while. Only because I have relocated to the La Costa area. I came in to enjoy a nice hot Christmas latte. I was so happy and impressed when the borista let me know it was two for one hour. That's two Starbucks Christmas latte's for the price of one. Ooooohh yeaaaaa read more

Okay, what completely ruined this for me is a dog on a table. I'm completely fine with dogs on a lap or on the ground, but on a table where people eat? YUCK! according to state to law dogs can't sit on chairs or tables. Please correct me if this law has changed since January 2015. This also isn't the first time I have seen this at a Starbucks, but this IS the only time I've been able to sneak a picture. I hope to never see this again. read more

I go here when it's my only choice. It's not bad, but It's not great. Service is fine. Tables, chairs, & ground are always dirty. There's not much seating. If you want to sit outside, you can enjoy watching traffic and smelling the gas station. I'm glad there's a Starbucks here, but it's not one I specifically want to go to. read more

Wow! Only one employee working, making drinks & taking orders!?! He's working hard to take care of everyone. Took 20mins to get my order...guess I should stick to the crowded Target Drive thru location nearby which I was avoiding in hopes of getting my order more quickly - Not! read more

Great customer service! Thianne keep up the great attitude! Clean and safe Starbucks to come too! Highly recommend!
