The nicest and best staff experience at this location. Will definitely stop here again when we do our next farmers market visit. read more

Most of us think that chain locations are all the same, and for the most part, I think they are too. I was in downtown Sacramento, and decided to stop at a Starbucks that I literally have driven by for years, and I've never gone inside. Today was the exception. It was early, I hadn't eaten, and I definitely wanted a quick bite and a drink. As luck would have it, there was parking right in front, and I found out that apparently they have a small parking lot behind the store. If you frequent the downtown area, you know parking has become a premium, and it's almost impossible to find. The store wasn't particularly clean, and the homeless people sitting out in front of the store, certainly are a deterrent, but I headed on in anyway. The staff was super friendly, and a big improvement based on some of my other Starbucks experiences. I ordered egg bites, and a new to me drink. The drink was suggested by one of the barista's and he nailed it! They weren't particularly busy, but there were people that look like they've been camped out at a few of the tables either working, or just hanging out... And then it happened. Some belligerent woman who apparently had ordered one small drink, and then asked for three large Venti size cups of ice water, proceeded to empty the entire drink bar into her handbag and whatever else she was caring. This is the bar where customers can pick up sleeves for their hot drinks, napkins, salt, pepper, sugar, etc. She literally was shopping for condiments. One of the baristas in a very low voice, very politely asked her if she would refrain from taking so much and she turned around and at the top of her lungs started screaming about how she is a paying customer and she's entitled to take whatever she wants. She then went storming out of the store, spilling half of her water, which of course is free all over the place. Welcome to Midtown/downtown Sacramento. I felt bad for these two barista's, because they're hired to make drinks and serve up, heated food, etc. and instead they get yelled at apparently quite frequently from what I gathered, when I looked at one of the barista's and was told this happens frequently throughout the day, every day The red pepper egg bites were as tasty as they always are, and it's my easy go to. Quick bit of protein, and it's not too heavy. The new to me drink was the cannon ball! It's actually a very cool drink. I did make a mistake and I forgot to tell them to hold the water in the drink, but that really is not a big deal. It's a strawberry açai with mango, and I always request light ice. They mix the drink and then they put the inclusions at the top, and one of the inclusions is dragon fruit. The moisture from the drink is absorbed into the fruit and slowly, but surely this very clear drink turns different shades of pink and purple. It's really cool to watch the ombré look of the drink, and it was really pretty tasty. I asked them to make sure that it was light on sweetness, and it was made perfectly. Great service, crazy customers, but definitely a store to be visited! read more

This Starbucks location is incredibly fast, clean, friendly, and professional. I was amazed how immediate I received my drink and the overall ambiance of this location. It wasn't just the staff that was friendly, but also the customers. That's a rarity for me when it comes to coming to a chain and the consumers actually match the quality of nature as staff. My Vanilla Bean Frappuccino was made perfectly and I appreciated the "Thank You!" written in excellent cursive at the top of the cup. 5/5. read more

this starbucks just really falls short now. i'm not sure if everyone has left, someway or somehow but the quality of service is far from how it used to be. and i don't see that many familiar faces anymore. this is the one starbucks ive been to in years, that my last 3 mobile orders weren't ready on time, and i was having to wait another 5-10 mins for 1 drink and 1 entree. i do mobile orders usually before i have to go to work, and the last 2 times they forgot my entrees, but made my drink. this time i accidentally ordered a hot drink instead of iced, i appreciate them offering to remake it for me, but the fact it was already about 5-10 mins after the app said it'd be ready, i couldn't wait or i was gonna be late to work. its getting a little disappointing, sucks because i live on this block. i used to bring the staff goodies frequently too read more

This is a busy Starbucks location on the corner of J and 19th Street, next to Noah's Bagel. No drive thru, but they are quick with 3 baristas working hard. My hot matcha latte was ready within 5 min and tasted yummy. Not a big space and most of the tables/seats were taken. read more

I stopped by on Monday 2/10:2025 for my free cup of coffee. Well, guess what? I was charged full price, even though I told the barista "I wanted to get my free tall cup of coffee as a Sbux member". Ugh! So in other words, they are lying to their customers. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Yes it still feels weird to rate a Starbucks. Who is reading these reviews and determining whether or not to come to this location? Anyway. The fact that they have dog photos up is enough to merit five stars from me. I asked and they're the customer dogs, not the employee dogs, but they have a Polaroid camera if you ever wanna bring your dog in to have him or her up on their wall of fame. The service is also nice and the coffee is as good as Starbucks can be, which is to say, not fantastic. Parking is fine but I always have to pull in the "do not enter" direction which makes me feel bad. It's small inside but there's enough Starbucks locations around that we customers can all cumulatively fit inside one somewhere in our area, I'm sure...lol. read more

Great location on J street where a lot of going on around the street. Large corner location with good inside seating in non-covid times. For now, seating is outside. On such a lovely day, this is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon enjoying Iced Green Tea and people watching. The staff was pleasant and the service on par with other locations. Appreciated that "extra ice" was taken seriously on this afternoon that is warming to the high 80 degrees. :-) read more

I love the vibe here. The staff seem respectful to each other and are always considerate and kind to the customers. Employees don't have that world weary, emotionally drained look you might find behind the counter at less organized outfits. The staff are FAST, getting drinks and bites out quickly. They're incredibly friendly when you pick up and make it a point to greet you coming and going. If you're going to give a corporate coffee chain your money, make it this location. Annnd there's street and lot parking too. read more

My orders specifically says on the print, "NO ICE", that lady who made my drink couldn't follow simple instructions. Also, I ordered venti salted caramel macchiato that specifically says on the print, "SALTED". Can you see any salt at all? And coffee taste like ordinary coffee. What the heck Starbucks??? So, why am I giving this a 5 star rating? Because of Mr. Hartan, the supervisor of this Starbucks branch listened to me and right away offered to make me a fresh same size drinks for free and he says he will definitely talk to the lady who made the errors. Thank you Mr. Hartan, you are Starbucks Superhero ‍ All to you sir! read more

July 16, 2022 Update of any comments one thousand one hundred ninety three. Ask someone at Check In Desk of any nearby Starbucks. He recommends this one. Leave hotel 8:47 am, walk to this Starbucks. Since have four hundred fifty eight Starbucks stars, every one hundred fifty can get either free drink or hot sandwich, I redeem the reward for impossible breakfast sandwich. Will just use for supper tonight. Get back to hotel 9:06 am. Not bad time for walking. Hurray for this Starbucks. Thank you Mona, African American, short black hair, for your help. read more

Starbucks - Sandwich and pineapple refresher. July 16, 2022. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Half o my weekend visits are to this Starbucks. I like this one. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I was happily surprised when a staff member went out of her way to give me information that was very helpful. With my new found knowledge I purchased a box of tea before they ran out. I really love the Youthberry tea. The place is always busy and sometimes there is a little wait. I've never been bothered by it as they are quick. I love that there is a free parking lot out back. If I'm on my way somewhere I can park, run in and not worry about a ticket or finding coins. I think this is the best one in the area. read more

I absolutely love this location. I'm always greeted with a smile here, literally every employee I've interacted with is a sweetheart. My order is always made correctly and comes out quickly. This morning, we came in for our morning coffee and breakfast (mobile ordered) & the sandwich I ordered was actually out, so I had to get a replacement, but I didn't even think anything of it because it happens so often at the Natomas location I used to frequent. They ended up giving me a replacement sandwich & a gift card for the mix up!! I didn't even know that was a thing! Love this place so much (: read more

Haven't drank a zip of my venti coffee and it isn't filled to the top as it should. I asked why it was so low and they said because it was easy on the ice. I am sorry, but that isn't a good excuse. I ask easy on ice so I don't get poured only ice and no coffee. So, is the 5.50 dlls of coffee I pay for ice or coffee? Instead fixing it, they offered more milk. Again, I paid for a mixed coffee drink, not just milk and ice. read more

I have been getting the same drink every day, a salted caramel cold foam cold brew, from any of the many downtown Sacramento Starbucks for years. On May 2, 2025, I picked up my drink from the 19th and J store, and was disappointed because it wasn't filled to the top. To me, the foam is the best part, and leaving a quarter inch of room meant there was significantly less foam than usual. The barista noticed my disappointment and asked what was wrong. He had already thrown away the extra foam left in the frother, or I would have asked him to just add it to my drink. Instead, I let him know why I was disappointed. None of this is a big deal, but what happened next was unacceptable. The man apologized that every other barista at every store including his had been making my drink wrong all these years, and explained that he and only he had made it correctly. That is NOT the way to deal with a dissatisfied customer who visits Starbucks every day (often more than once a day because I like both their breakfast and lunch options). I was so flabbergasted that he made the situation about himself and that he just wanted to argue with me that I left, but if that's what Starbucks' idea of customer service is, these days, I'll have to give some real thought to exploring other options. I'll give it 2 stars instead of 1 because the other baristas there are lovely, but that never should have happened. read more

*Da Bumpity Bump* - 2 More Stars SITREP Props to baristas Kevin & Tyler, and the Mobile app problems diminishing. THE SETUP With the *crapfest* known as the holiday advertising season well behind us, it seems that the store chemistry and the application snafus all have re-found their equilibrium. So I'm jumping up the overall star-rating another coupla notches to four (4). KEVIN & TYLER I have to hand it to senior baristas Kevin & Tyler for ameliorating some of both the preparation headaches and the smartphone app snafus. * KEVIN https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/starbucks-sacramento-103?select=KesREyJ6qujqxTBZX78wnQ A constant issue for me has been arriving too early (before 6:30am) or too late (after 11:30am) when the store has either not started the pot of Veranda Blonde Roast - or they tossed it before 12 noon. Kevin has started a Clover process at no extra charge to get me covered if the pot is not there. * TYLER https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/starbucks-sacramento-103?select=4Lw_V0tSvUdfA7peeEYlog He knows his coffee and is a dynamic educator! And I really appreciate seeing his smile in the mornings - or more likely - on the weekends when I come in. NEW FOODS! I have quickly become a fan of the egg bites if I want to treat myself to something other than the breakfast sandwiches. * Egg White Bites - these are no doubt healthier, but still great tasting! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/starbucks-sacramento-103?select=7wPSq8NYPKNQ5LzWjrK7Zg * Gruyere & Bacon Egg Bites - "COME TO PAPA!" Okay, definitely NOT as low-cal as their egg white sibs, but these bites are Ohhhhh soooooooo tasty! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/starbucks-sacramento-103?select=scgiM4OROX6eI_aOnHskjQ CAVEAT As much as I love this location, you'll never be a "5"-star until you uncover your electric outlets and let us plug in our laptops again. THE LOWDOWN With dramatic improvements, I've got a new found appreciation for this, my main Starbucks store in my Midtown hood. read more

It's approx 230pm, I intended to just use the bathroom since there's a password to use it. And asked the guy with a beard making the drinks if I can use their bathroom because I gotta go tinkle, and he didn't even hesitated to tell me it's only for customers only. What great service! For that, I got so thirsty, and luckily for me, today is 1/2 off frapps Monday, thank you God. So anyways, back to my story, I had a difficult time deciding what to get, because everything looked so good just reading what's on the menu behind the counter and the aroma from within. Mmmmm.... So I asked the guy, what's your fave frapp ever, and told me, "Double Choco Chip", and so I ordered that and spiced it up a bit and asked if he can add some caramel drizzle. And oh lord, he drizzled my frapp so good! You have no idea... Anyways, I'm off now to drink my frapp before its all saturated and melted. Slurp slurp! read more

Starbucks has all of it's rockstars at this location. Everyone is friendly, knows me by name, and really goes abvoe and beyond. I witnessed a barista walk out an order to an elderly man who relied on a scooter to get around. Regardles of how busy they are, they are always friendly and the drinks are always perfect. My favorite Starbucks for sure. read more

I live a few blocks away and frequent this location often. The friendly, welcoming staff make this my neighborhood Starbucks.

I am no longer a Starbucks drinker but all my (pokemon) friends come here so why not. The service here was pretty stellar so I got no complaints as long as I get my Soy Match done right! Yes there is a gym right on this location Pokemon fans. Warm up your winter with a drink and join us for a raid! read more

Friendly staff and quick service! Area is dangerous when it comes to crossing the street.

I like this Starbucks. It's in a great location with plenty of parking out back. The padded bench seating is real comfortable for slumpy sitters like me. There's a great patio in front and bike parking too! The staff is nice and the drinks are tasty. I was a little surprised during my last visit. There power outlets are all gone. Apparently homeless people had been using the outlets to charge their phones. The management decided to remove the power outlets. It sucks a little for customers but it's still a good Starbucks. read more

This is the best Starbucks store in Sacramento!!! They always have the best vibes and attitudes and my order is always correct and AMAZING! I feel so welcomed every time I walk in. The staff is friendly, diverse, professional and efficient!

Walk in and be personable, it's worth it!!!!)) read more

Two stars simply because the cookies and muffins looked good. I didn't buy one although I wish I would have. Instead, I bought a chicken BLT salad sandwich which turned out to be the most disgusting sammy I've ever attempted to eat. (See picture).before making my purchase, I asked the counter person if they made them fresh EVERY DAY and his response, "they drop them off every day". Hmm... judging by the days old slimy lettuce in this, more like every 5-7 days. I opened the top layer of bread, saw this and threw it straight into the trash. What a waste of money. 100% jipped. 100% NASTY. 100% disappointed. Starbucks needs to step up their game, this was seriously barf paste on bread. I'm gagging just thinking about it. read more

The employees here are really friendly! Not to mention funny. I come here when I need a pick-me-up from work and I always enjoy my visit. They have great breakfast sandwiches as well! They aren't too big, but they are filling. My personal favorite is the slow roasted ham and swiss-- a buttery croissant bun with gooey, melted Swiss cheese, egg with yolk, and juicy ham slices! Try one!! You won't be disappointed. AND NOW, THEY CARRY SRIRACHA PACKETS! I love to add this to my breakfast sandwich to take it to the next level! The baristas here are all super friendly, kind, helpful and funny. I know most of them now since I'm quite a regular here, and they seriously make me smile and feel happy with every visit! This is how a Starbucks should be like! It's a very pleasant experience. Also, there is now an app you can download to preorder and pay for your drinks and food!!! Skip the line and wait if you order ahead! But be warned, the customers in line will give you the death glare!!!! But it's not your fault you were smart enough to use the app ;) Overall, great Starbucks with a great staff! 5 stars all the way!! read more

This is my favorite Starbucks! They know how to make good drinks. They are super friendly and always willing to educate me on different types of coffee, roast, etc. They offer free parking. Parking lot smells like urine 24/7...but it's free! Because this is midtown, there are a lot of bums walking around but they are usually harmless...just don't make eye contact. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

This space is way too small for how busy it is and it is not relaxing at all inside because it was really loud with the music playing and all the people talking and all the clanking that way going on in the barista station. I didn't mind the feist cd that they were playing but I couldn't concentrate on the toxicology book (boring chemistry stuff that requires all my undivided attention) and ended up trying to return phone calls instead (also hopeless). The barista girls were so nice and attentive though and when I asked about their new-fangled Pikes Place Roast they told me that they didn't have any brewed. I wanted a sample so I told them I would wait. They gave me a free venti cup for my time and I ended up buying a peanut butter cookie while I waited around. The cookie was lacking the home baked goodness that I love in peanut butter cookies. This one seemed diluted somehow like they were using super salty planters peanuts and crisco. The coffee was noticeably better. It is still bold, but definitely less of an aftertaste and kept my pits sweaty and my hands and legs jittery - shaking uncontrollably for at least 2 hors post-consumption. Parking in the lot is next to impossible during peak times but there are plenty of street parking spaces. read more

Was in a basic b**ch mood this afternoon so I decided to nab me one of those infamous Pumpkin Spice Frapuccinos, and OH EM GEE it was like totes magotes worth it!! It literally embodies the fall season in a novelty beverage, and I now see what all the hype is about. It literally tastes like a pumpkin pie smoothie. The touch of cinnamon was the icing on the cake. It just put me in a good mood! I literally moaned after every sip, and I'm not exaggerating. Nothing else mattered in the world while I was working on my PSF. I swear Starbucks didn't pay me to write this. I'm genuinely obsessed with this seasonal beverage. Unfortunately the nutritional facts probably aren't the best, but honestly, who cares. Just make it a once in a while treat. All I'm missing now are my yoga pants and UGGZ!! ;) read more
