The Service: No line waiting. HOWEVER, this Starbucks is like people's office or library. People sit there for hours with their computer. It is no way you can find a a seat to sit down and enjoy your coffee. To go is the only way.... :( The Parking: Sharing parking lot with Pavillion market. read more

No matter which BigBucks I go to they are spot on, done right, tasty, delicious, and always consistent on their drinks. read more

Starbucks - More cups to add clutter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

I saw a review earlier complaining about people just being there working/reading/on their laptops. Is that Starbucks' fault? You're really going to ding them in stars for that? Sheesh. Anyway, I do like this place since there's great parking in front of the Pavilions grocery. And yes, seating is quite limited during busy hours, but that's a given at most sit-in Starbucks. The staff is also very friendly- the place isn't exactly the most super organized, I mean, it's clean and not messy but I always see the manager in the process of coming up with new ways to organize things, putting things up, changing merchandise out, etc., which is a great thing to see. On a funny side note, as of the date of this review, Starbucks is currently facing a multi-million dollar lawsuit because of the amount of ice they put in drinks- I kept this in mind as I ordered my iced drink and tried to see if there was any difference; no difference yet lol. read more

I came early this morning on my way to work feeling like a Zombie ‍ I don't know my Baristas name but he had a beard I believe. But I had to give him props cuz this was BY FAR the BEST coffee I've had made for me from Starbucks in a LONG WHILE! My complicated order of Venti iced caramel macchiato upside down, add shot, 3 pumps syrup was PERFECT!!! Thanks! I'll be coming here more often cuz all the other Starbucks always mess my drinks up! ‍ read more

I like this Starbucks because it's so convenient to me while food shopping, or coming back from shopping along Lake Avenue. The employees here are nice and somewhat friendly, and it's always filled with interesting people from Caltech; I feel part of the "Big Bang" television show just by being here! The lines are quite long though, and the service is a little slower than others, but that is to be expected, as the students are rather complex and order their drinks like no other Starbucks could. Being a gold card member, you just stay here all day and use their Wi-Fi for homework, or just cruise, but do order something, as this place needs to make a profit to stay around... read more

Excellent serví and they offer the Reserve Christmas Blend! What a treat!!! Thank you Jackie and Devon!!! You guys made my day!

I like the way this Starbucks appears from the outside when viewing it's look on the corner of Lake/California. Nice place for studying, maybe meeting someone to go over some documents, or just to be alone doing your own thing. They have the re-charge docks for your cell phone on the large table in the center of the room (love these things!) If only I were still in school... these would have came in handy if I needed to charge my phone but didn't have my cord with me. Okay, these can STILL help me if I were in dire need of more battery power on my phone -- very nifty. Parking lot is shared w/ the other small businesses next-door and Pavillions supermarket. Quick service! Never waiting more than 5 minutes for my drink/food. (I've only visited weekday mornings). Don't forget to use your Starbucks app! :] 12 stars = 1 free food or drink read more

I always forget about this location. Remodeled and new, this location is clean and the staff is really friendly. I always spy people doing work. Looks like a nice place to spend time with a friend and/or catch up on some work. Maybe I'll try that out at this location one day soon! read more

This Starbucks will NEVER update their business hours on yelp. They ARE NOT OPEN till 11pm on Sundays. An easy fix that WILL NEVER be done. Guaranteed. And we all know why. read more

I came on a Saturday around 2:30PM and I just wanna shout out Aurora and crew. They were so pleasant to talk with and Aurora made my Peach Black Tea perfectly. read more

Wonderful service! Raven was awesome, needed something for the ride home and she selected an amazing drink to keep me up for my drive. While she took care of me, her coworker was quick with the drink. Altogether was out in two to four minutes. read more

This store always seems to attract the better talent at Starbucks (as does the store on Lake & Green). Typical is today's service: The barista knows I like steamed half & half in my Clover order. On this super busy morning here, she took the time to call me over and make sure I had not ordered the soy that the cashier wrote on the cup. That's how good they are! Cheerful, professional, friendly AND accurate. #GreatService read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

The employees are typically rude at this location. My sister and I went and they messed up both our drinks. When we asked them to fix/ remake the drinks they were rude and gave attitude. read more

Yesterday I dropped in around noon to get a drink, and to both of the baristas working, thank you. They both were so kind, the drink was great but the customer service was above and beyond. They're the type of workers who make your day, and deserve raises along with better treatment from other customers! read more

This location is always clean, and really nice baristas! But most of the time they mess up my drink. Sometimes, it seems washed down. Sometimes, too much milk. It's a hit and miss. read more

This is just to update and reiterate that this is my favorite Starbucks (of course, if I had to pick a Starbucks to begin with). The atmosphere here is extremely conducive to working or studying. There is not a lot of chit chat as in other Starbucks locations in Pasadena (mainly the one in Old Town Pasadena). Staff is very friendly and really get to know the regulars. A lot of comfortable tables and chairs for your laptop and other work. There is also a very large table in the middle that seats about 6-8 people - perfect for any large study groups. If I'm looking for places to get work done outside of my home office in my apartment, I can always get work done here (as well as at the Pasadena Public Library - see separate review). read more

Starbucks - Everyone is either studying or reading. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

I normally like their coffee drinks. They function very much in order during covid. Wish they bring back the cascara cold foam cold brew.

What I love about starbucks is the consistency I can come to the Starbucks and get the same service and taste at another Starbucks 30 miles away. The staff is generally always friendly fast and efficient.They have definitely branded themselves. I also was very please when they changed the logo. Having a logo with no name and just a picture definitely shows that they have made it. The only thing I don't like is the price. However it's a business and the demand is there so having high prices makes total business sense. Multibillion dollar company. read more

Starbucks - Lol they spelled my name wrong!! Who gets Angie wrong?? Well my skinny latte was on point!! Yummm - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Imagine when I am on my way to this location of Starbucks, I come to the door to only find it is "Temporarily closed". Ummm...no! I LOVE THIS STARBUCKS! The baristas help me with depression. I have battled this for years, and when I come in, the baristas give me brass service and treat me like a rock star. In fact, they do it with ALL of their customers. I am really trying to find words of how worried I think my day will go, knowing they are not there. Btw, the food is always cooked awesomely, the drinks are spectacular and the store is immaculate - clean to the expectations of those who are OCD with cleanliness. Why oh why? PLEASE OPEN SOON! I will miss the magnificent food, attentive behavior to customers and an overall warm feeling I get when I walk through the door and they say with resounding and sweet voices, "Good Morning (or afternoon) Gina! P.S. In case the baristas are reading this message, this is Gina the author and teacher! :-) Virtual hug! read more

I like to spend time in this store with my husband with my hot chocolate after church of Sunday. Warm place & smiley faces. Will come again of sure read more

This location is my favorite in Pasadena. The people are always so kind and on top of it. Given covid especially, sometimes things go out of stock and they have to check for different substitutions, but regardless they don't mind. Also as a trans person, to be able to say my real name rather than the one on my ID is nice at any Starbucks. But here they all go out of their way to use it, which is appreciated! Wish I could tip all the staff at this Starbucks, thank you for the hard work! read more

Raven is always so sweet and welcoming anytime I come into this location! The team here is efficient and have hit the mark with my drinks every time. read more

Terrible service, too bad I liked it there but seems like they need more training for a better customer service. Went to Philz to recover from the terrible experience. Go there instead, they'll treat you better!! read more

Guy barista hit on my husband and made rude comments implying I wasn't in his league. No one wants your slander, just make the coffee.

A nice Starbucks, clean and cool staff. I can't give 5 stars because Starbucks coffee is never great, but I like coming here for the atmosphere. It's a good place to come to for free Wi-Fi and decent coffee and treats. read more

Feel like I grew up at this Starbucks!! I'm out in the working world now but I miss studying here! Glad to be back for a visit. The cashier got my Venti Green Iced tea wrong by accident, gave me my right order and a $4.00 gift certificate. Thank you so much!!! I appreciated it!! You made my day!! read more

I love it here! The workers always treat me nicely! There's a really cute barista who I always get nervous to talk to but he's always sweet about it. They proudly wear lgbtq+ flags which I appreciate. I have great conversations with the workers about music and books etc. I've also never had to take my drink back. It's always been made perfectly. It's a nice sized Starbucks so there are enough seats to just sit and work. The only sad thing is that pumpkin spice lattes are really popular at this location in the fall so they're often out of pumpkin spice. It's all about timing your arrival if you want one though. Overall this is a fun space and the worker Chris is cool! He's fun. read more

The staff would not do a blond pour over they wanted to charge me for a blonde latte when that is not what I wanted. This is not the first time. Though when a male friend of mine ordered me a coffee they made it for him, no questions. I can get coffee elsewhere. In fact there is a Pete's across the street. read more

The employees are always nice to me here. Lovely place, i love the smell of coffee here ( I wonder what kind of smelling candles they use ).

On behalf of European Wax Center South Lake Pasadena we just have to say how awesome the overall service of this team especially from the amazing Jamie and the always smiling Raul :) You guys always have a positive attitude and never crack under pressure and y'all make the best peach green tea lemonade with that extra pump of mango aka Stephanie's fav drink and that green tea frap w/ vanilla bean powder no whip! (Octavia's fav.) ;) Keep being awesome, you guys are the best :) Love, Stephanie, Octavia and the rest of the EWC family read more

The staff is friendly and accommodating. Chris, in particular, not only makes you feel welcomed, but also makes you want to come back. Thanks for the great service, Chris! read more

This is one of my favorite Starbucks. Always clean, outstanding service and a nice neighborhood feel. The only challenge is find parking in the crowded Pavilion's lot. read more

Been here twice this week and both times the coffee was extremely watered down. I went in today 06/06/2020 and purchased a tall pike which was absolutely the worst coffee I've had in my life and, that's no exaggeration. It was 90% water and the rest coffee if you can call it that. Unfortunately, I was already a few miles away before I noticed it so I couldn't come back to get another one. I am very disappointed and will probably not go back to this location. read more

It's was 10/7/21 @ 9:41am the young lady at the register left us in line hanging didn't even say I'll be with you shortly there was 3 young ladies making drinks and the young lady at the register was heating up a couple of croissants it wasn't even busy to have three young ladies making drinks very rude to not even apologize after we waited almost five minutes read more

I went to Starbucks to get a cup of coffee on break. Whilst departing, one of me grad assistants gave me a coupon for a buy-one-get-one free, for a Grande Latte. I didn't realise Starbucks even had coupons, I've never used them before. However, after this experience today, I reckon I'll definitely be looking more vigilantly for more. So the plan was to get one for myself, and the other for me grad assistant. So I walked into the Starbucks and handed the girl behind the counter the coupon for buy-one-get-one free, seemed pretty sraightforward, one would assume. So the girl gazed over and pointed at the chalkboard behind, which stated, "buy-one-get-one free" for today. She looked at me wiv a smile on her face and said, "They're already buy-one-get-one free today, so I guess they're both free" "Well of course", I said :) I then proceeded to ask, I still get to keep my coupon, right. "Yes, I think so." She handed me my two "free" lattes, and I walked out the door wiv coupon in hand, no money spent, and obviously, one confused server. I'll definitely be back, because I know exactly what shift she works ;) read more

Ordered two drinks and pumpkin bread. The two drinks were done and I asked for my bread. Cashier told me to wait as he handed two other girls behind me pumpkin bread. Then he told me they were out and I could get something else. HE JUST GAVE MY BREAD AWAY TO PEOPLE WHO WHERE BEHIND ME IN LINE STILL WAITING FOR THEIR ORDER! I ASKED HIM FOR IT EVEN BEFORE HE HANDED IT TO THEM. Then all I get is, you can get something else? FAIL, will never come here agian, i see remolding did nothing for this store's customer service.... read more

Thoroughly disgusted. I have never gotten a ice green tea with stuff floating at the bottom. Made me sick! read more

I'm a regular here (I work in the area) and the baristas here have always been really nice esp. Paola. She's so sweet and always has a smile on her face even when its 7:30 in the morning. lol (And she always remembers my order )They're fast, organized, and on top of everything. Even when it's super busy they handle things with grace. I've been to other locations where it was really unorganized and the customer service wasn't that great. read more

One of my go-to Sbux. Parking can be a pain. It's located behind the store in the same plaza as the Pavilion's. There are plenty of seats if you're coming here to do some work. read more
