I really only get Starbucks when there's a sweet deal on my app. And the mobile ordering is super convenient. Always ready when it says it will be, no issues there. This location runs pretty smooth, have had no complaints. Their recent renovation makes this place extra cozy to chill in. read more

Descent sized Starbucks with plenty of seating inside and out. Really appreciated that they didn't have their ac set at sub zero like most Starbucks in LA. Took stars off for how long it took to get drinks...which was about 25 minutes total. We ordered off the mobile app while we were driving there and still waited another 15. We finally asked when we saw someone in line order 2 frapps and their order came out before ours. read more

I had to write a review for this Starbucks because it was just good vibes. I was working a BA job next door at Whole Foods and just needed something hot to warm me up. I ordered a cappuccino and I swear I felt so welcome there. I don't know what it was exactly. But the service was good and the staff were friendly. I also got a lovely message on my cup that was much needed. Love. read more

Starbucks - Ube Coconut Macchiato - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Playa Vista, California

Kind of a weird experience. I came here to charge my car and my dog was whining so I went down to get her a pup cup and though I didn't want coffee, I did buy one to spend money at their establishment. I ordered a venti iced drink and they gave me a grande hot drink. I hadn't taken a single sip of it and showed the barista the drink sticker that said venti iced on it on a grande hot cup. She apologized and made me another immediately. The odd part was the lady who messed up my drink then took the hot drink out of my hand and poured it down the sink. Not one sip was taken of that drink. It was so wasteful and the mistake was their fault so I felt like they should have just let me keep it? Idk pretty weird service IMO read more

I and my bf have Starbucks here every-week!! Or overtime we came to charge together here. I m not fan of this coffee for the taste but it just convenient, if you drink coffee you should know why we here not for coffee for real. But today I swear to myself to not to buy Starbuck anymore because they didnt train people to have service mind!! The guy in mask behind the lady(that she is new trainee i think), he was training her for what to do then i m ordering, 3 shoots cappuccino as i used to and make sure they got my order right since sometimes i order 3 but got 2 Then he ask what s size? I m kinda didnt hear then try to get what he said then he just Yelled at me!!! What the-? I cant believe that Starbuck allow this kind of people do job as customer service and he s teaching his new trainee. Like this??!! So I swear to myself and my bf to not to buy from starbuck here again or may be everywhere. You!! manager need to do something about this location. No respect for me or may be I m Asian-American. You guys are lucky that you look American-American because he seem welcome more than me. Worst Starbuck in these entire world for me! read more

Today June 1st at 2.05 pm an horrible black girl at the register, because I asked fir not too much ice in the drink, she was fooling me making faces, and not answering to my questions but continuing to make weird faces and laughing at me! Super disrespectful and horrible customer service! We don't have anymore the right to say anything because they treat you as a sh*t!!!! New generation is just awful! Never I ll be back! read more

Super super slow 8am on a Tuesday. I got a nitro cold brew.... Most expensive drink and should take the least amount of time tbh. 15 mins wait for that is kinda crazy read more

Excellent service, staff, seating options (indoor/outdoor), and parking. This team works hard to ensure all customer needs are met. I ordered a cappuccino and requested that it be ready at a particular time - and it was. Great music and environment at this location. Plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. Outdoor seating has a firepit option. Parking garage is not free but is modern and secure. Highly recommend this location and team - they are outstanding! read more

I've been going to this Starbucks for over 7 years with no reason to review, but today I went there with my 5 year old son who was very impatient and Trey went above and beyond 10/10 give that man a raise read more

We're nearly the only ones in the store. Spent $30 on coffee, and they couldn't take 3 steps to our table to hand us our coffee. Instead they failed to tell us it was ready and it sat there till it was cold. They couldn't tell us if the pastries were fresh or not . They scoffed at us when we asked them to cut the cinnamon roll. (They were willing to warm it for us, so I give them credit for that) We asked them to wipe down the table but they couldn't be bothered. To be fair, they did mop the floor. The two of them standing behind the counter talking the whole time. read more

The staff here are usually very friendly and always have our order ready for us on the counter when we come in along with a pup cup for our dog! read more

I used to live in this area, and have moved south of this location. This is still on my daily commute to work. Despite passing three or four Starbucks, I love going to this one because of seeing the barista Tiffany, she greets you with such a big smile, and knows your name and drink order even though I have never introduced myself to her. I also don't come every day so I don't expect her to know my name, but she is that type of personable individual. Just a shout out for her and for her really ensuring that you are satisfied with your drink order and it's such a great way to start a day with a cuppa coffee from Starbucks and a morning greeting from Barista Tiffany! read more

Sara is amazing. Very courteous and especially patient. Sometimes I can be a little hard to deal with when it comes to sweeteners and soy milk. This was one of those occasions. Sara however, dealt with it graciously and I wanted to let the world know. Thank you Sarah you rock. !!! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Playa Vista, California

This store, for being in Playa.. a rather nice area , is a hot mess. I walk in and the girl behind the counter is starring off into space and the other barista has to tell her to take my order. She must have been new because I asked if she could make a new drink hot and she directs me to a completely different drink with espresso. No worries I order it cold my fault for not double checking but she gives me the wrong size. I then proceeded to look for a seat with a plug and the only two plugs near tables are in use and the largest plugging seating area is not working. One of the workers tells me I should plug it in myself.. like I said hot mess. The only other plug is hidden near the trash so instead of getting into a work flow I have to watch my ipad charge since I need it for my next session. Next time I will be sure to stop at the many other Starbucks I passed instead of trying to work here again. Other highlights include a dirty floor and uncomfortable seats. No thanks. read more

Per company's policy, Veterans are eligible for a free tall coffee brew. This location did not honor that and had a really terrible attitude about it. The employee said "I have worked here for years and have never seen this deal." But it's the same every year? The Manager was no better and didn't offer a solution. UPDATE: a month later and the situation was not resolved by their District Manager who didn't contact me at all and then by their Operations Manager, who covered everything up and gaslit me. Apparently, I'm not the only one who has been mistreated here. This store is an embarrassment and should be shut down. read more

This business is professional and has a nice vibe. You can stay and work or socialize or continue in but they get your coffee right and are friendly. I wish they were all like this one! read more

Starbucks - Love my sun, spirits and Joe in LaLa land. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Playa Vista, California

If I could give no stars I would. The worst Starbucks management and employees ever. I would not go here even if they gave me free coffee . Place is dirty and not well kept. The staff is rude and obnoxious. Sarah was the girls name who gave me my order so disrespectful and rude and extremely condescending as if I was being given my coffee in charity. I have never felt so humiliated and disrespected by someone as I was by her just ruined my day. There are other options . You want to visit a place that is nice and friendly and really gives the barista feeling. If anyone from Corp is reading this you might get sued if this continues with more people like me for racism . Teach your employees better and train them on making coffees better a difference between all the coffees will be start. read more

I love the Starbucks especially the one in Playa Vista, but don't get me wrong sometimes they get a little short staff, little behind which is fine because all businesses do. They have to do something about the cleanliness of this place. Maybe today was a bad day but for the most part I've never seen it clean. This is the only Starbucks that I've seen that doesn't tidy up. I've seen busier Starbucks like the ones in Torrance and Santa Monica and they are super clean. read more

Overall a good location with good staff but likely need some additional staffing to handle both the in-person rushes and mobile order demand. Location: in Runway at Playa Vista, near Whole Foods. Parking: mostly easy. They are right next to a large parking structure but the structure is usually pretty full and people seem to lose their intelligence when trying to park in there... Small amount of time limited free parking outside of structure but not much. Quality: mostly the beverages are well crafted, but quality does seem to suffer when the staff are in times of crunch due to a large in-store rush and/or mobile order inundation. Speed: see quality comments above. Attitude: my interactions with the baristas there have been quite good and they are usually very friendly. read more

Not clean at all. If the tables inside and outside are any indication of what the back and food prep area are like, this place deserves an F. I come early in the morning where technically it should be the cleanest, but I always either bring my own wipes or bring cart wiped from Whole Foods. Sticky, crumbs, animals in and out all the time. Ugh. read more

I go here everyday. It's one of the best Starbucks, hands down. My only complaint is that they can't kick out annoying customers who slow everything down with their ridiculous 20 step requests. But hey it's an affluent area on the Westside, it's to be expected. read more

This Starbucks in Playa Vista is not closed first of all. It's right across Whole Foods and it's def open for business. I would like to call out Tiffany (barista) amazing energy always happy to see you and accommodate your drink order and make sure it's exactly how you want it. Thanks Tiffany for being a light at the beginning of my day read more

This branch has gotten worse and worse. They have not had multigrain bagel in ages and don't even know if they will get it back. Rude and noncaring attitude. Feel like these employees are McDonald's trained. Now, this branch no longer validates parking. How greedy does Starbucks need to be to support their board members. This on top of Starbucks no longer providing free add on for Gold members. So if you drive to this branch, expect to either pay an extra $2 for parking or go to the Whole Foods to get your validation (until Whole Foods says no to Starbucks customers). read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Worst Starbucks experience ever! And that is saying something as I've been loyal to Starbucks for the past 15 years. The manager here is rude and incredibly unhelpful. My drink was not made correctly and when I politely asked for more steamed milk to fix it, I was shocked when she confronted me directly and told me that she would do this one time, but not again. A $5 drink should be made correctly! Horrible service, horrible quality, I will not be returning. read more

I usually try to avoid Starbucks, but the service here is just so awesome!!! Isaiah & Angela make my Misto just the way i love it.

Starbucks Story #4: The Starbucks where you can meet the most random people. I was sitting and playing Pokemon Go (Pokestops abound at Starbucks...at least when I was there) when a random guy started chatting with me because of my work badge. The next thing I knew - we exchanged business cards and helped each other out with various swag. RANDOM yet kind of awesome. Let's see...what else... +Service is on point - super friendly staff. +Parking is a little bit of a pain - best to just park in the lot or if you can find it, an outdoor spot. +There's a lot of tables/bar seating (unfortunately never checked the outlet) + WiFi works. +Drinks are fairly solid - don't expect anything too different. +The layout/decor is super clean. +Usually you'll see university students, people that work nearby (like myself) and the locals frequent this spot. read more

This SB is just the best. They always tell me how handsome I am and sometimes Isaiah gives me a metaphorical high five with his mind which I love because I don't like to shake hands. And the staff here just slaughters the coffee game. My wife ordered a half tall double latte misto with two percent streamed yak butter milk but soy-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, caffeine-free with some of the yogurt blended in with 1.654378 packs of Splenda in it - and they got the order right! read more

I frequent this Starbucks a few times a month and always walk in with my little pup to grab my mobile order. This morning, the team had a pup cup already prepared and sitting on top of my drink. It was so unexpected but the level of thought and care that goes into the customer experience is top notch! This sweet gesture absolutely made my morning and reminds me why this is my favorite location. read more

I've been to different Starbucks "all over the world" and since I live and work around the area I have no choice but to get my coffee in this location... first off the cashiers or however do you wanna call them doesn't always get your orders right, aside from that the baristas always messes up the order... Ordered my usual caramel macchiato a few times, walked back home and only to find out there is no "caramel"...I'm tired of being patient, no apologies or no nothing...they just tell you ok let me make you another one... Dude a little I'm sorry can make everything right but for some reason "sorry" doesn't exist in their vocabulary... read more
