Stop 2: The Starbucks Sakura merchandise saga continues. This location is off Kearny Mesa located in the shopping center with Japanese market Mitsuwa. I have been to this location several times. There are several stores in this shopping center that I visit occasionally, Mitsuwa, Jamba Juice and the Dollar store. This location is tucked into the corner of the lot and always busy during the day. This location is always packed. This was the next closest location on our journey, we arrived at 6:14 pm. Walked in and I saw a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately they only had a couple of Sakura cold cups. The Sakura cold cup wasn't exactly my taste or what I was looking for and passed. Onto the next location! 2026: 15 read more

Really nice! Greeted us on drive thru, got us our drinks promptly. Water was yum and everyone was cute and all dressed up for unicorn day!

The food here is a bit overpriced but if you are on the go, this is a decent option. The drinks are their signature trademarks, they always update when it comes to season drinks. I tried the energy refresher blended drink. One of three options to pick from. For one, I didn't feel any energy pick up, and it wasn't as sweet as I expected. It tasted like a sugar free blended drink. This is a newer built location, a little bit of a labrynth to work around. So be careful as the drive through is a bit challenging with two ways of traffic trying to work its way in. The inside is your typical ambient feel of a coffee shop. read more

Very nice, welcomed me as soon as I walked through the door. It was a out 30 miniytill closing time and at 1st it was pretty quiet but then it picked up even closer to closing time. I had placed my order online and it was ready for pick up when I went in (within a few minutes from ordering so not a long wait at all). Baristas were very nice, store is big and has plenty of indoor seating. Lots of merch to choose from of looking for a gift or even yourself. They also had your standard quick bites as well. My drink was tasty as usual. Close to Mitsuwa and other shopping and easy to get to. read more

Very accommodating! I needed to kill time, waiting for my spouse' medical procedure.. It was very hot outside ,and I wanted a cold drink and a place to relax with my book on tape. I asked for an decaf iced Americano, Of course the ice melted quickly. The barista happily provided me with a cup of ice and a shot of cream when the cannister was out. read more

This is one of my favorite Starbucks. Whenever I'm in the neighborhood I stop here to get me some coffee. The workers are always cheerful and friendly. The drinks are always just as I want them. I enjoy this place. read more

I always come to this location, Greeted with enthusiasm. One staff member named KAT was extremely unmotivated for the work day or maybe she is experiencing issues on the outside world. I understand. However coming out of a long traumatizing shift in the hospital, I just want to grab a cup of tea to decompress and wait for traffic to die down and KAT's energy was not helping. This has been the 2nd time i have encountered KAT her attitude just made this place NOGO. read more

I've encountered rude customer service at this location one too many times! The unnecessary attitudes are so annoying especially first thing in the morning. They seem to hate their jobs or something. Making customers feel like they're bothering you is not great customer service. No wonder this place only has three stars. I asked to have my grande drink in a venti cup so that there's room for the cold foam (which was a great recommendation by a prior Starbucks barista!), and the girl asks me "why?"....why should I have to explain that to you? No one has ever questioned why I ordered my drinks the way iiiii like them?! read more

I am so over Starbucks I ordered a train to iced tea. The whole cup is full of ice. Why pay for a large one if you're just gonna get ice not worth $4.95!!! Total ripoff! read more

Starbucks - Over priced Iced Green Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Yikes...after visiting this Starbucks over 100 times across several years either they either have new management or the store manager decided to show their true colors. If you would like to be treated kindly as a paying customer I would recommend trying any other coffee shop within 50 miles where you can be sure to find a better experience. read more

I stop at Starbucks all across this state and country so I don't usually Yelp because it is a quick in and out and no time to Yelp. But on this occasion I was on may way to see a client nearby and was a few minutes early. I ice coffee and croissant along with a quick visit to the bathroom was what I needed. What impressed me about this Starbucks, other than the clean bathroom, was the team work. One person took my order and I noticed another start to warm up my croissant. As the person that took my order went to get my coffee her coworker was walking by and scanned my Starbucks app [I was a little slow accessing it when I placed my order]. None of them said anything, they just seemed to work so well together. Of course, you can imagine that a place with these type of workers would have a clean and well maintained area. Kudos to the management team at this location. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I've never felt so unnecessarily singled out in a Starbucks. While walking to the restroom, a shift lead yelled across the store--from behind the counter while making drinks--asking if I was a "paying customer." It was loud, public, and embarrassing. I responded that I was, but the damage was already done. I then tried to calmly explain the situation to another employee and was met with zero empathy or concern, as if this kind of treatment is normal or acceptable. Even if there were a policy issue (there isn't), publicly calling out a customer like that is unprofessional and disrespectful, especially coming from a lead. Basic courtesy and customer service were completely missing here. Plenty of Starbucks manage to treat people with dignity. This one didn't. read more

This is my favorite Starbucks location! I love walking in because everyone always welcomes you and makes you feel comfortable right away. If you don't know what drink to order, the staff is super helpful and gives great recommendations. The atmosphere is also really nice because the music is at the perfect volume, so you can actually relax and have a conversation without yelling over the music. Great customer service and great vibes every time I come here! read more

Nothing is ever wrong at Starbucks. It's always a well managed, clean experience ordering from a responsive barista using the app for a refill (I came earlier). I don't need a wallet, I linked my bank card to the app and there is no security issues because they know how to keep it secured! The coffee has that burnt taste so I always order the cold brew, less acid too. Calm it with heavy cream. Better than milk. I know I shan't drink my calories so NO SUGAR! DON'T EAT PURE SUGAR! IT'S POISON TO US!! read more

I love coming to this Starbucks to study and get work done. The space is calm, comfortable, and always has great energy.

I usually never have a problem with the Starbucks. I still haven't. However, today I was helped by somebody who was probably the kindest human being ever his name tag said Tommy and I just wanted to thank him for just really lovely service. I just wasn't having the best day And I came here to grab myself a sweet treat and he made my day by going the extra mile for no reason. read more

Bad service. Customer service from the drive through is definitely there. Whomever the supervisor there this morning could definitely use some customer service training. Talking about me and my experience negatively with her staff. After getting a taste of my drink, I noticed that the Acai drink barely had any sweetness to it. It was mega diluted with water. I went back in to let the supervisor l ow about my drink. She defended it by saying it needed to have lemonade in order for it to be sweet. Wrong! I have been to many Starbucks branches and it has always been made correctly. She was very defensive and I understand that. I do not want to say customer is always right but the consistencies within this store is non existent. I did not get a chance to explain further because they started remaking the drink. Guess what? It's the same. It is the mix they made and it's very bland. Regardless of the outcome, I am rating this store 1 star for not listening to their customer and cutting them off. This is long overdue. Shame. I went to a Starbucks location in Albertsons 1608 Broadway El Cajon and wow!! It tasted like the others but Kearny Mesa store. Kearny store is very inconsistent. read more

Well Starbuck's is one of the few places open via drive thru. Our Yelp reviews is a bit limited. The back story to this visit is the interesting part. But anyhow happy they were open. 5 mins before closing and they were happy to take the following cars behind me as well. Use your rewards cards if you're in their star program. I get a reminder fr a frontline dr in the UK checking in with me to have something healthy and green besides other healthy wellness things. So sweet right? So for Mama Vera I ordered a matcha tea frappuccino w/coconut. What do you think? Healthy or no? Never had this drink before and I will be ordering it more often. The matcha isn't bitter and is easy to drink so I like it. The coconut gives it a tinge of tropical. The overall frap is lush on a hot day. When we can travel again I'll bring Mama Vera a Starbucks in person. Shout out to fellow health workers we work hella long hours and need our coffee. Thanks to Starbucks for being open and putting percautuon processes in place. Mel M Yelp 20:33 Covid -19 read more

Starbucks - Happy Happy Grande Non- Fat Chai my Usush !! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I came in today in the morning and the girl with a name Kat was super rude to me. I told her I wanted to redeem my rewards after I had paid and she said I should have told her before that she couldn't do them anymore. She said the only way was to cancel the transaction. So I told her to do that then. Then I showed her I wanted to redeem a cup for my points and she was like oh you didn't tell me that. But I'm like isn't that her job she should have asked what I wanted to redeem. She made me feel it was my fault. She has attitude and isn't welcoming nor nice. read more

Can't comment on the customer service or drink because there was no customer service. After entering, I waited 4 minutes without being greeted before walking out. An employee walked past in front of me, twice, and yet didn't say a single word. There were 4 employees on the shift and no customers in line (besides me) aside from the drive through. read more

PROS: + easy parking + drive-thru + spacious + clean tables + bar seats about 12+ + friendly baristas + 2 bars (against wall and middle of store) + large tables (4 per) + quick and consistent service + not freezing + next to great food options (Poke & Ramen) CONS: + where's the cheese box? :( Great Starbucks location! I will definitely be working here in the future :) read more

Great service and always quick. I have no issue with this location the staff have upbeat demeanor and great genuinely & look up when doing so. The vibe is great!

Much appreciated! read more

Starbucks - A SCAM FOR YOUR MONEY - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I went here with my sisters to get fall drinks because we've never tried them before, we also never have to this location before either. We went in and we were looking at the menu, the cashier looked really tired so we moved a little away from the cashier so if someone comes in they can order since we were not ready. After we picked what we wanted the cashier had a straight face the whole time but was telling us about the drinks and we really appreciated it because again we never tried fall drinks (from Starbucks or anywhere) so we didn't know anything about it. I ordered first and I ordered two drinks, it was something like apple spice frappe, the other one was for my brother. My sister ordered their drinks and when they were ordering I seen two drinks that looked just like the one I ordered but it was someone else's ordered and I'm assuming because they were already making the same drink they made mine at the same time because they had two more by he drive through window that I noticed but I didn't pay any mind to it thinking I had no reason to. After about 10 minutes they put the drinks on the table for pick up and I asked my sister if she thinks it's mine but she reminded me that I payed extra for caramel drizzle and it didn't have it on there. So I assumed it was not mine, it was way over 25 minutes later that I went to them to ask if my drink is done and they told me it that those two are my drinks and I was shocked. They called my sisters names for heir drinks but didn't call mine? Then they had it sit there for so long, it was all melted and I was upset. I asked them if those were the same ones sitting there and all three of the ladies that were working there just stood and stared at me for like 8 seconds and the supervisor said "yeah the cashier didn't write your name on the Order so..." that didn't make sense because I used my app and it automatically adds my name to the Oder the same way it did to my sisters orders. But then I heard one of the workers say under her breath "It wasn't even sitting there for that long wtf" I was not about to argue with some 18 year olds so I just told them that they didn't even add the caramel that I payed extra for and they just opened the lid and drizzled so little and gave it to me. I 100% should have asked for my money back and did not take the drinks but I didn't. I didn't like the fall drinks so it definitely was not worth all of that but it's okay because at least I know not to go here again. One star for how the place was pretty quiet and clean. I did notice that the lady mopping started making a drink for someone at the drive through, she didn't have gloves when she was mopping and picking stuff of the ground and she didn't wash her hands making that drink, I was watching because I was getting impatient waiting over 25 minutes for my drinks. read more

This place is my home away from home and it is NOT because of the coffee. It is because of the people! This team makes my bad days better. They always have a smile and really bring sunshine to the place! I love saying very loudly when I leave "I hope everyone tips a little more today...you all deserve it" And they do. I wish the app let you tip when you use stars to buy a drink. But I compensate when I actually buy and tip a little more. THANK YOU TO THE STAFF~Lisa read more

I've come to this location twice so far and both times, my coffee is incorrect. I pay to have 4 shots in my venti latte and never get the 4th. Very disappointing.

Went in on Sunday at 12:00 to get a iced coffee. When I walked in there was no one in line. A Older barista says she'll be right with me as she changes out a hot coffee jug. Then proceeds to help a couple who was shopping for mugs. I passed them as I went to order my coffee. So why couldn't she have taken my order first??? The couple was not in line I was. It seems customer service everywhere these days is on the decline. Note to self, don return here. read more

Starbucks - My new tumbler ice white mocha with Carmel drizzle and vanilla cold foam and a almond croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

The woman who I assume is the manager at this place is very unpleasant. She wears glasses, speaks loudly, and looks like she might be a mix of Asian and Caucasian. This review is based solely on our experience with her. Starbucks is consistent. The drinks are good and the treats are tasty. My issue is: I ordered 3 cake pops for a colleague for his birthday. One for him, one for him to take home to his wife, and another for his daughter. My husband ran in to grab the order. When we arrived at the office, we realized there were only two cake pops. The next time I came to the store, I told her what happened and showed her my receipt on my phone. She didn't bother to look down, didn't say anything to me, walked away to grab the cake pop and bag it, came back and plopped it in front of me, and said anything else? I didn't actually want the cake pop. I would rather have just had her acknowledge the mistake and perhaps give me a credit toward a future purchase. Maybe foolish of me, but I expected some kind of, oh sorry for our mistake. Quite the opposite. She was borderline rude. This woman handled this situation poorly and really should be the person at the cashier dealing with customers. My husband was with me and had the same impression. Not good. read more

Busy Starbucks located in the Mitsuwa Plaza. I came here last week during lunch for a quick drink. The parking lot is always full during lunch time. Fortunately they have a drive-thru. I ordered my standard iced caramel macchiato with a birthday cake pop. Everything was made well. I'd only come here if you're already shopping in this plaza otherwise, the parking is hard to find. read more
