    So, there are two Starbucks within 10 minutes of each other. This particular one is next to a movie theater and the 8-15 freeway, so, I find a higher frequency to my visits to this one as opposed to to the sister Starbucks located near the Mira Mesa High School. This place located near Miramar college and I observe, the newer shopping and restaurants center receives a higher foot traffic, so, I grade them in quality and Starbuck Experience at a higher standard. I use to train Starbuck Baristas and had the privilege of working with amazing Managers and fellow Shift Supervisors, we were trained to make the perfect cappuccino while easily maintaining eye contact and engaging the customers. 3-5 minutes out the door and deliver impact. This place definitely has a character, the professionalism is there, the quality is adequate. So, why do I keep returning. I guess it's because, I can't stand coffee lovers hating on Starbucks and badmouthing a company that started it all and then raised standards just to watch their employees embark on their own entrepreneurship because the skills Starbucks drilled into them. I digress. Starbucks knew what they were doing back in the 90's and early 20th century. However, upholding the standards without improving them and updating them with the times, well, appears to challenge the generation taking on those high expectations and mastery of Standards. Again, why do I return, because they messed up my order and when I politely asked if they could add more cinnamon powder the barista didn't roll their eyes, instead they apologized (even when I didn't say anything was wrong), and asked if I would be okay waiting a minute so they can remake the drink ahead of the orders already in the Que. That's exceptional. Everyone assumes giving you money means the deal is struck and the end result and the journey to receive the end result no longer requires Focus and struggle to Perfect. I am a Master Barista, I own decent Espresso maker and Milk Steam Wand, and it will only take me 3 minutes to make the perfect Cap with Nutella and cinnamon powder. So, 8 dollars, is more than a coffee in a to-go cup. Thank you for providing a Starbucks experience and a drink worth spending my hard earned money on. May you keep training Baristas like the three you had on staff that day.

    Some starbucks can be very inconsistent with their service, espresso and flavoring ratios. This one was great - the drink was made quickly and tasted really good. The espresso was not sour or off. The sugar cookie latte is always my favorite holiday drink! It's delicious with a little less syrup and oat milk. Would return to this location - there's ample parking in the shopping center and other food options if you're looking for a heartier meal.

    As far as Starbucks go, this location is one of our favorites. There's no drive-through, but there's a lot of parking so you can pick up quickly. The space is casual. There are tables along the wall across from the counter. My wife and I will sometimes walk here and hang out for a bit. If it's warm out then we'll sit at one of the tables right outside. Note, it can get busy on the weekends. During one of our latest visits (on January 5th), my wife decided to try the Matcha Latte. The lady who took our order was very nice and took the time to explain the new matcha. I didn't get her name, but wanted to give her a shoutout.

    Gisele is always so pleasant , helpful and kind . She provides true customer service . Coffee was great but expensive .

    To be honest, this was a bad experience. There is a puddle of coffee while she handed it to me, and it was overflowing!!! She didn't wipe it off or even offer a napkin... I think it was an Asian girl didn't get the name, spilled some on the car chair and all over my cup holder. We hand people puddle drinks now? Ridiculous.

    I feel like this Starbucks location has gone downhill. Not as clean as it used to be. Ordered for no whip on top and I watched them put whip on top. Just not very attentive to the orders. Its unfortunate because this location does a lot of business.

    Not recommending anyone to order this location via mobile app or over DoorDash delivery. Had my colleague order DoorDash from the Westview Pkwy location as the nearest one to my hotel where I stayed for a business trip closes very early, and we needed to grab a drink to wind down after a long 11 hour shift at work. Service is horrible, they forgot to give us straws as my coworker ordered a venti Caramel Frappuccino and even napkins for my sandwich. She had to scramble to get a straw at a restaurant which was already closed by our hotel and front desk which did not have any at hand. Also, the Strawberry Açaí lemonade Starbucks Refresher tastes great but the strawberries are only a fourth of what I typically get. Now my coworker has to end up using a spoon to drink her frap. We also let our DoorDash driver know that we were missing something and he was unable to get the straws when we received our order.

    Quick, efficient mobile order service. Mine was done in less time than predicted, and there's a clear sign about where to pick up mobile orders. I liked they had lots of outdoor tables. The line inside was pretty long, but it was a Saturday morning. A bit skimpy on the cold foam did my drink while another had a ton

Ive brought friends here in the past and have always gotten positive feedback afterwards. Recently though, it feels like it's lost a little of its charm. The menu needs updating because with all the crossed out items on the board, it looks a little low end and like they're out of things. But they also always seem to be out of multiple items when I come these days. There's no food options any more most of the time, but the display cases remain. And seating... it feels like they got rid of 1-2 tables and the tables that were outside. There never seems to be enough seating so it's both cramped while also empty looking now. They have these side benches to sit on, but no one ever uses them because they're not super comfortable or good to chat with anyone with. Also, the bathroom. It's usually open, but twice now Ive been in there where there's zero toilet paper or the paper towel dispenser is out, but someone has just put a roll on top to tear at your own will. I loved this place so I hate saying more negative than good. The drinks remain amazing, but for a spot that is so popular, it's losing some of its own charm.

There better be AC next time otherwise I'm taking away a star Because I loved the desserts so much I'm going to forgive the lack of AC this time...

I got a cheesecake slice, brownie and mochi brick with coconut. Cheesecake slice was my favorite, its like ube halaya mixed with a bit of cream cheese and put into a pie crust. The mochi brick was ok, the cashier warmed it for me because he said its served warm, I took a few bites in the car while it was still warm, wasn't blown away, so I let it cool. When I got back to it later it was already back to room temp, I liked it better that way. The ube halaya brownie would have been good fresh but what I got looked and tasted old. Like when you leave brownies out for a few days how the edges and top start getting hard. Thats probably what happened here. It felt like this brownie had a shell casing around it. I ended up peeling the hard parts off to taste it but I threw most of it away.

    I didn't know they opened another location in Mira Mesa! This was my first time visiting this one,…read morebut I've been to other The Alleys in the past. I came here with a friend on a weekend, and it wasn't too crowded. Parking was easy to find, as the store is located in a shopping plaza. I ordered the Strawberry Green Tea with Jelly, and my friend got a mango drink with mochi. Our drinks came out super fast! I really liked my drink; however, it was rather sweet, even though I already ordered it with 50% sweetness. I would recommend adjusting/lowering the sweetness here when ordering! As far as the ambiance goes, it's rather sterile/white. The inside is smaller and limited in seating, so I can't really see myself coming here with a bigger group of friends. It seems more like a grab-and-go establishment, in my opinion. Overall, I had a pleasantly standard experience at The Alley. Nothing in particular stood out to me, both positive and negative. Solid boba spot :)

I used to like it, but after this visit…read moreI think I'm done coming here, especially with how many better boba spots are around Mira Mesa. I stopped by because it's super close to the freeway and I just wanted a quick drink before heading back south. Sunday around 4:30 the music was good, the place was clean, and the workers were friendly. There's a lot of seating inside and outside, plus board games if you want to hang out or study. Ordering was easy with the kiosk too. I got a jasmine milk tea with boba and asked for less sugar and less ice. The drink came out pretty fast and the cup design was actually cute and different from what I remember. I didn't try it until I was already back on the freeway and the first sip was honestly confusing. The jasmine flavor was super faint and watered down, but then it tasted sour. Like really sour. Not in a tea way, more like something went bad. It genuinely tasted off. I couldn't even finish it. I took maybe three sips and threw the whole thing away, which sucked because I was already driving and couldn't go back. That's the main issue. With how many boba places are in Mira Mesa, you can't be serving drinks like that. If it was just bland that's one thing, but tasting sour like that feels like a bigger problem. It honestly made me question the quality. I'd skip this spot for now. There are way better and more consistent options nearby.
