I just paid $95 for the employee to STOP making my boba order to allow a poke customer who just walked in to order and pay. I stood there and watched his entire order process. What's worse is that this is the SECOND time this happened... I thought the first may have been a weird fluke. I asked the employee and she said it's their policy to stop boba drinks to help poke customers. 1. I paid $95 to wait 25 minutes for my to-go poke and boba order. Unacceptable. 2. They lost another customer who wanted to order boba because his slow it was, they literally left. There's too much competition for this exact food in the area to have such bad customer service. If they don't fix it, they will lose many more customers to other places.

As soon as you walk through the entrance gate, you are transported to a lovely tea garden. We did make reservations ahead as it is reservation only. Rushell greeted us and we were quickly seated. We chose the La Dolce Vita Tea Experience. We were able to sniff the tea leaves first in individual test tubes which absolutely helped me pick my tea. I loved that experience! Once everything was selected, we were brought out our teas and salads. The salad was refreshing and I especially enjoyed the fresh tomatoes, garbanzo beans, and house vinaigrette. I had the Eiffel tea and absolutely loved it. I typically prefer black teas with either hints of floral or fruit notes and this tea had the perfect combination. We were then given our individual towers/ tea tiers which consisted of three sandwiches (smoked salmon pinwheels, apple Brie melt, and Prosciutto, Feta And Balsamic Fig Sandwich) of our choosing, a cranberry orange cake scone with creme Fraîche and strawberry preserves, and a trio of desserts (lemon cake with blueberries, petite four, and a rosemary shortbread). I honestly loved everything I ordered. I loved the cake scone as it was very moist and the sandwiches were all divine with powerful flavors in each bite. I didn't love the creme fraîche, as I prefer clotted cream with my scones, but it does offer a great break from sweetness of the cake scone. I especially enjoyed how toasted the Apple Brie melt was. I love short breads and petite fours, so I'm a bit biased but they were my favorite desserts. Not only did we have a lovely time due to the atmosphere, tea, and delicious food, but we thoroughly enjoyed Rushell herself! She was so welcoming and shared so much with us. Happy to always support local and especially women-owned businesses. I can't wait to go back!

Their matcha is a powder "latte" mix -- grainy, overly sweet, but bland matcha taste. Not an actual matcha powder. The color was between a brown and a green. We figured maybe the matcha just needed extra mix, so we asked for more, the girl says she's gonna have to up-charge us for that. Okay...most coffee places don't do that, but we understood and didn't fight her on it. Got it back expecting it to be better but nope lol just tasted equally as bad with an extra dollar spent on a scoop of grainy latte sugar mix at the bottom. Didn't finish either drink.

First of all this is not for the employees because it's not their fault! I walked into the bathroom after buying my $7 drink and I seen a man and a woman in a public bathroom smoking drugs off of foil! I was so mad! First of all why would you do that in a Starbucks bathroom!!!!!! It was literally disgusting! I was furious I told the employee she looked really upset too! It's not their job to patrol the bathroom where the fuck are the police!??? San Diego has a disgusting drug problem that they will not address and the fact that you can't even go to Starbucks without encountering this is crazy! I was shocked there was smoke all in the bathroom these people were so ignorant they thought the smoke was invisible! I'm actually sorry for these employees that they have to deal with this I'm sorry bathrooms should be for customers only this was crazy!!!! I definitely snitched to the employee because that's dangerous fentanyl is a dangerous drug and that's obviously what they were doing in the bathroom at Starbucks which is truly insane!!!! San Diego for the price of living in oceanside you would think stuff like this wouldn't happen but it does even at Starbucks! I wanted my shaken espresso I did not wanna see two crackheads in the bathroom doing drugs I really didn't traumatizing! read more

This Starbucks is the senior center of Starbucks. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE seniors, but there are some old creepy men that are ALWAYS there, lurking behind their keyboards watching Xrated stuff. So just be careful for the Old Bald men there, parked at the entrance. I don't think they have homes as they are always there. The service is good, the coffee is standard. It is creepy when you see a old man use the women restroom, and their reply is, "I'm old and can't hold it" read more
