The drive thru and parking lot situation is quite horrible though especially during peak times. The entrance into the parking lot which is located in the back, shares a lane to go in and out while the other lane is taken up by the drive thru. This makes it very dangerous or difficult to maneuver if there are cars coming in and out both ways. One of the cars will need to back up in order for another to enter/leave. The inside of the cafe isn't too shabby though, there's plenty of desks with access to outlets for studying. I've been here twice so far, and both times the drinks we got were just alright, nothing too crazy. The first time I got the banana matcha, which I liked since the banana flavor was mixed into the matcha instead of being a cold foam. The second time I got their signature drink in the matcha section, which is the horchata matcha. I tasted 100% horchata and no matcha. I thought it was decent, but nothing to rave about especially given the fact that the horchata flavor just took over. All the drinks were pretty sweet as expected, so it's best to adjust to at least 50% sweetness to be safe.

Omg! I just moved to the North OC area, and I'm happy to say I've found one of my new go-to coffee…read moreshop study spots in the area! :) I'm currently studying for a big exam, and it's been surprisingly challenging finding coffee shops to study at with the beautiful, modern, aesthetic ambience that makes me happy, without feeling anxious there won't be enough seats or space when I get there, esp since I have to drive a decent amount to get to cafes. I've been getting a little stir crazy at home and finally making the trek here was so worth it-- I felt more motivated than ever to get work done with a tasty treat. I'm not sure if it's because CSUF just started this week, or because I came on a Friday morning, but it was really spacious and open with tons of outlets (almost at each table). Not sure how other days are, but I'd love to bring my study group friends here in the future, since it's so hard to find places with enough space for study groups! Not to mention the clean bathroom haha and good wifi haha The staff here is also incredibly sweet and friendly, making it a comfortable and good experience. Because it was my first time, I asked the barista about her recommendation, and she also asked my general preferences to cater to my taste, and I ended up with a seasonal Birthday Cake Americano at half sweetness (since I don't have much of a sweet tooth). It was perfect for me! I don't usually get Americanos and have a sensitive stomach rn, but it was delicious and kind on my stomach lol. I also got a ham and cheese croissant, and maybe it could've been heated up a little more, but I did wait a bit to eat it, so it was no big deal. The other barista was also so sweet in answering my many questions haha The only struggle as others have mentioned is the parking - I ended up parking at the retail parking nearby, which had plenty of spots but can get pretty pricey, and it sounds like you can park in the areas others have mentioned still (like The Hub I guess has "New Here" parking spots or the employee parking spots?), so I'll need to look more next time. But there's quite a bit around the area within walking distance, you can easily make a day out of it too. Also since it is at the first floor of an apartment in a college town, there will be students going in and out, so just be prepared for that haha -- reminded me of dorm days, and I'm glad students have a spot like this :) Overall, the yummy coffee, amazing vibe and beautiful ambiance, especially as a study spot, alongside the kind and comfortable service has been just what I've been looking for in a coffee shop around here, and I'm excited to return! Thank you New Here!

Vanilla Thesis is the best better than probably all the rest…read moreThe coffee is so tasty Not nasty or pasty Their cheese and ham croissant is also bomb better than being made by mom One thing to note about this place, the parking sucks. But fear not, you can go into the structure, park in one of the "employee only" spots, and just tell them which spot and you're golden (wish I knew that before I came and parked across the street). Also, another reason why this place is great is that it's not full at all. Might be because of the parking situation, but the place is near empty which makes it have a nice luxury vibe. Their Vanilla Thesis drink at 50% sweet is soooo good. It's a great blend of coffee and tastes great. You can totally taste the vanilla. Their ham and cheese croissant is also great.

The line goes to the door much of the time, but they keep it moving, keep it kind, and the one barista keeps the drinks coming out so quickly that you barely have time to find a seat! It was pretty full again with half studier/workers and half friend pairs/ groups. We happened to come on the day they had a collab for jeans recycling with Madewell: donate a pair of jeans and get a free 12-oz drink from the "taplist" (regular menu list) plus a coupon for 15% off a pair of jeans! What a great and generous promo for a cause. Inside vinyl shops look fun. I am sad that the stationery shop is gone, but still looking forward to bringing my fam to check our the vinyl and fun drinks. The drinks: We came here just for the Fall Banoffee Latte because we crave/miss this British flavor. It was pretty good and a good sweetness, but I think toffee topping or a little more toffee flavor would've elevated it. I actually liked the free pour of Strawberry Swing even better! Green tea with strawberry flavor and a floral touch without bitterness. Had a taste of my friend's Princess Daisy green tea with mango/passion fruit, and it had a bit of bitter/tea flavor, but it grew on my friend's palate with every sip. The food: Only tried the cinamon sugar donut, which was tasty, solid regualr yeast donut topped with ?buttercream frosting and 8 or so cinnamon toast crunch pieces. The add-it-yourself maple drizzle dropper was a fun touch, though might've liked it a tad more viscous if possible (turned out looking like it rained maple syrup on the donut, heh). Plenty of parking on Orange St public parking lot or along that street. Now they charge at the lot, about $1.45 per hour (oh well, better than LA parking). Looking forward to returning! Maybe for the bananas foster matcha (heard good things from friend of a foodie friend :)).

Alejandro harasses me every time I sit down in Starbucks, in spite of the fact that Corporate has informed me in writing that 'a customer is anyone on the premises, regardless of what that person orders or when that person orders it.' I have related this fact to Alejandro. At 5PM 11/22/16 Alejandro had a man (short heavy, dark disheveled longish hair, with a baby face, about twenty years old) by the name of Rhys Freeman (he probably gave me a fake name) come to my table and demand that I order, when I told him that I know Alejandro is putting him up to harassing me, Rhys Freeman insisted that Alejandro left, and that the policy "at all restaurants I know of" is that customers must order as soon as the arrive. I pointed out that Alejandro was standing behind him, I asked to see the Policy and informed him that a POLICY is a legal document that must be on file with the city attorney and the police department. An edict is an unlawful abuse of authority and both he and Alejandro can be ARRESTED since their EDICT is not a Policy, but rather is HARASSMENT. I told Rhys Freeman that Alejandro has been harassing me with unlawful edicts for several years. I have asked Alejandro's staff to stop harassing me numerous times, I told Rhys Freeman that I am working on a murder case that demands my undivided attention so "I am going to buy something just to get you to stop harassing me," so that I can get back to work on my computer. He responded by telling me that he is too busy to look for the Policy at issue, he then told me that Alejandro told him the purchase would have to be consumed then and there, (a pack of almonds) I replied, "just throw it in the trash and leave me alone or I will have you arrested for relentlessly annoying and harassing me. Harassment is civilly and criminally actionable: A conviction in civil court carries damages from $10,000 and up. Since Alejandro and his fellow bully Starbucks employees insist on harassing me while my voice activated tape recorded is worn, there is ample evidence of their criminal and civilly actionable illegal violative conduct. If it were merely a matter of petty inadequate individuals with nothing better to do I could tolerate it,there are plenty of stupid pests in the world, but these irritating employees claim to be acting at the behest of and under the authority of Starbucks. Starbucks is libel for it's employee's subordinate conduct. And more importantly one must ask oneself what kind of ignorant low wage idiots take satisfaction from bothering respectable people who actually have a life as contributing members of society? A. Unconsciousness representatives of Starbucks. HARASSMENT: California Penal Code §646.9(e) defines harassed as a "knowing and willful course of conduct directed at a specific person that seriously alarms, annoys, torments, or terrorizes the person, and that serves no legitimate purpose. This course of conduct must be such as would cause a reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress and must actually cause substantial emotional distress." Course of conduct is defined as a "pattern of conduct composed of a series of acts over a period of time, however short, evidencing a continuity of purpose." Constitutionally protected activity is not included within the meaning of course of conduct. Repeatedly is defined as "on more than one occasion." Sentencing Under Penal Code §646.9(a), three years in state prison, even if there is no restraining order in effect. However, if there is a restraining order or any other protective court order in effect, he or she could be sentenced up to four years in state prison. If the defendant was previously convicted of stalking (§646.9), criminal threats (§422), domestic battery (§273.5), or a felony violation of a restraining order, a five-year sentence can be imposed. Other provisions of Penal Code §646.9 provide that the sentencing court may issue a restraining order against the defendant that is valid for up to ten years, read more

As a daily Starbucks customer, I've come to expect great service, but my recent experience at this location was anything but pleasant. While the coffee itself was good, the service left a lot to be desired. The barista, who was deliberately hiding her name tag, didn't smile once and had an unwelcoming attitude from the start. I politely asked for a splash of milk.. something I've done at countless Starbucks locations.. but instead of accommodating the small request, she insisted I pay for a full price of milk, which seemed absurd given I only needed a tiny amount. What made it worse was her dismissive tone and complete lack of empathy. Her behavior was a stark contrast to the friendly, helpful service I usually get at other Starbucks stores. It's disappointing to be treated this way, and I hope management takes action to ensure better customer service in the future. Starbucks should always be a place where customers feel valued, not dismissed... read more

Unfortunately, both were a massive disappointment. The Shaken Espresso barely had any ube cream on top. When I politely pointed out that it looked like it was missing the ube, the barista got defensive and snapped that "it's just foamy." If a drink calls for cream and comes out as pure foam, standard customer service means discarding it and remaking it right--not serving it anyway and arguing with the customer. To make matters worse, my second drink (the Double Berry Matcha) barely had a trace of strawberries in it. It tasted like plain matcha. I didn't want to be a pest in front of people waiting behind me, so I didn't demand a remake, but for the price Starbucks charges, this is unacceptable. They remodeled this location a while back, but they clearly need to spend less time on the decor and more time on employee training. Avoid this location if you actually want what you paid for.
