Stopped here on our way out to Murrieta Hot Springs. Parking was easy. They have a lot behind Starbucks, or you can grab free street parking. We were the only ones in line so we got to place our order quickly. The employee was super nice, patient, and gave great recommendations. We ordered three drinks and four food items, and everything was ready in less than 10 minutes. I had: *Toasted Coconut Cold Brew: Absolutely delicious - not too sweet and perfect for a warm day. *Turkey, Bacon, Cheddar & Egg White Sandwich: I loved that they offered a healthier option. It was warm and cooked perfectly. Overall, the service was excellent, the coffee and food were great, and there was no wait. We went around 10 AM, and there was plenty of seating. The space is clean, quiet, and very comfortable. read more

I came here at 7:15am. The service was above excellent. I got the Bacon Gouda Sandwich and the Pecan Crunch Latte. AMAZEBALLS! My favorite was Emily's cheerful, "Good morning! Welcome in!" She's so warm and lovely. I will be coming here more often even though I live in La Mesa read more

I had a great experience with picking up my mobile order here on 03/08/26 at 6:40a. I did another mobile app order for 1 Cheese Danish and 1 Grande Hot Chocolate. This was for my daughter to have at work. When I arrived, there were a couple of trucks parked outside of the place and patrons waiting in their vehicles. I was greeted upon entering the store. A very nice young African American lady at the counter asked me for my mobile order name. 1 responded her and asked if I could get my cheese danish warmed up. She said absolutely and started to do that. The barista then told me that my Hot Chocolate would be right out soon. There was only 1 other woman waiting on an order in the store. I really liked that they had a Women's History Month (WHM) flyer posted on the Starbucks Store Community Board; AWESOME! My order was ready in a few minutes and I was able to get it to my daughter in time to make it to work. Thanks for a clean store, great customer service, and positive vibes for WHM at this location. read more

(Drank/Snacked 12/30/2025 TU @ 10:00am): Oh my stars... I'm still amazed at the amount of bucks people pay for the caffeinated drinks made here! My realtor and I ended up at San Diego's North Park Starbuck location as a spot for her to get her daily morning coffee and for us to go over our day's plans of touring investment properties in the area. Our first tour was literally minutes away, so the convenience was the winning factor. The Starbucks brand had become a global force with seemingly no slowing down in sight with the exception of the ebb-and-flow of the economic market. Did this Starbucks location provide what we needed on our trip!? PURCHASE Banana Nut Bread Loaf Slice ($3.95): Loaded with banana and nuts, soothing aromatics of previously-mentioned ingredients along with cinnamon and spices, this was a lovely flavorful moist soft slice of warmed-up heaven that paired well with my drink and held me over from needing anything else to eat for hours. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=isY0GBFO0at6OxNBgaR_KQ Peppermint Mocha Grande 16floz ($6.45): As most of you know, I'm not a coffee drinker nor was I a caffeine fiend as many of my friends. However, I was with someone who needed her fix, so we stopped by, I saw the advertising for this drink, and I was sold (damn marketers)! Since it was nearly the end of the year and associated holiday season, I felt the timing was right to order this flavored drink, I loved peppermint, and I generally preferred the chocolatey sugary goodness of a mocha. Everything tasted blissfully and kept me in the holiday spirit as the year was coming to an end. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=fuSg4beJ-fa99LVL2yoFYw SERVICE I was warmly greeted by a friendly young woman behind the counter who easily and quickly took my order, and minutes later my name was called as my order was ready - easy-peasy! PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance) Thankfully, we found a spot in their tiny shared lot directly behind the store. Otherwise, there appeared to be some parking along the main drag of University Ave. and nearby surrounding side streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Your typical Starbucks layout with the order counter, display food cases, and visible price menu the main focal points, an assortment of places to sit inside while you enjoyed your drink or work, a small outdoor patio with a couple of tables, and your usual mix of promotional ads. There was a cute collage of furry family members on one of the order windows! Plenty of natural lighting came in through the many large glass windows and doors while a mix of recessed and track electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while pop music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=x7UzQWUikQlDoNEf6IkbHw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Starbuck's North Park San Diego location filled an immediate need for us and was conveniently located close to the first property tour of the day. We both enjoyed our respective drinks, had the opportunity to discuss and review our plans for the day, and it was perfectly located for the many businesses in the area. As with most coffee shops now, they also sold pastries, sandwiches, and a smattering of other snacks. And, they had their own rewards program for free food. The prices seemed comparable, they had a good selection of items, and the service was friendly and quick. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $10.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

It's funny - at one time there were two Starbucks on University - one at a prime location near the iconic NP sign - - and this one which is located all the way at the other end of town - in a not-so-prime area - and THIS is the Starbucks that survives. It's nothing fancy at all - really just a place to grab drinks and go. The staff is very nice - always smiling - a small crew where everyone knows each other well. It's a no frills Starbucks because of the area which is rich in 'urban campers'. And they are very quick with the online orders!! read more

The barista was beyond rude and unkind. She wouldn't allow my 3 year old to use the restroom before I made a purchase; I'm a loyal Starbucks customer and this is my first encounter with someone so unkind. I'm truly disappointed with the way we were treated. read more

Starbucks - No bathrooms and no tables , no chairs to seat at this location:@. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Honestly, I'm not a fan of Starbucks because they always seem to open near a successful independent coffee house. But when all you get are gift cards from the Starbucks, well, you have to go in and use them. This location is nice. Parking can be a bit of a challenge since there's a 15 minute? green curb in front. The staff was friendly on my morning visit. Lots of interesting people. Lots of online/phone in orders. My latte was perfect! The lemon cake was good. My breakfast sandwich was good too. The one thing you can always count on with Starbucks is consistency. If you just need coffee and not going to hang around, this location is good. read more

This Starbucks is not good for work (no bathrooms or tables to work at), or for friendly service. There's always this one girl/employee who just has an awful attitude and makes ordering even the simplest of drinks extremely difficult and a hassle. It shouldn't be difficult. She always gives me trouble for no real reason. In my visit today, she rolled her eyes and spoke very condescendingly to me for asking to have my drink split into two cups. The drinks are made in one cup, then poured into the cups they serve us in. It could easily be split into two. I've never had this much of a hassle at any other Starbucks. It's honestly ridiculous. Customer service won't bother to do anything about it either so just expect low manners at this Starbucks. Maybe mobile order, grab your drink, and run. read more

I love going to this location. Employees are always kind and happy and feel like they uphold the Starbucks brand and culture to a high standard. Drinks are never wrong, always stocked and I can't emphasize enough how friendly they are. I was worried when this location was shut down in December for what felt like the entire month. So glad they are back. read more

I came in as a DoorDash employee picking up an order for a customer. I asked to use the restroom, the first girl said no because I wasn't a paid Customer. She got the manager and he acted weird about it. I felt the employees were really rude about a DoorDash employee using the restroom. They finally let me in the restroom. read more

Sadly I must downscale my review. The staff is still kind, but corporate has made decisions to turn the shop into a grab and go with no seating indoor or out. They have even closed their bathroom to customers. Not very welcoming! read more

This is a pick-up location. All chairs and tables have been removed. No seating, inside or out. Restrooms are also not available. It's a huge Starbucks with a huge patio where they took all of the seats out. I met up with an old college friend. Haven't seen her in years. We were laughing and chatting it up, standing at the belly counter. After about 15 mins, an employee asked us to leave and explained why. I could tell she was scared to approach us. She, as well as another employee, apologized several times. No where on the app or Google business listing does it say it's pick up and drop only. read more

We love this Starbucks! They have the friendliest staff! I've been coming here the last 3 months and each time it's been an enjoyable time!

Service here lately has been consistently stellar. My mobile orders have been ready on time, baristas have been attentive, greeting me and other customers as we walk in. There were times in the past when they weren't so great, so at least from my experience, they've stepped up over the past year (same employees, mostly). My customized drinks have been made accurately and food, delicious and satisfying. As of this review, customers can only order takeout. No chairs or tables, and this location does not have a drive-thru. There is a green curb for short-term parking, but if that's full, park in the Walgreens lots on the north and east sides. The closest Starbucks with a drive-thru would be the 24-hour location on Oregon and El Cajon Blvd. read more

Worst Starbucks , or in general, worst coffee shop in North Park. All the seating has been removed from the inside and outside. This location did this because they discriminate against the homeless who do in fact purchase a beverage and like to sit there. I still haven't heard from the regional manager regarding my concern and customer service claims they have no reason as to why seating has been removed and bathroom closes. The rep said a lot of people have called to complain. Maybe the regional manager will read this review. There are a ton of great coffee shops on University less than 5 minutes walking distance from here, such as Holsem Coffee which I now give my business too. Terrible ethics Starbucks. I will not be shopping at any of your locations due to the discrimination of those who are economically challenged. They still deserve a place to sit and enjoy their coffee! read more

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

Good for picking up your drink and going. But this establishment offers no place to sit down and enjoy your drink either inside or outside. Indoors there is no tables and the seats are stacked up and locked. Outdoor there are tables, but no chairs to sit and enjoy your drink either. I'm not a fan of this. read more

They're the way Starbucks was when they first became big in the 90s. The happy, friendly baristas, fast service... and they make the best drinks. You're guaranteed to get a big "welcome in" and on my only second visit I got a "great to see you again!". Unreal service and everything is top notch here. Especially recommend the iced shaken brown sugar oat milk espresso. read more

No bathroom. A coffee shop without a bathroom. Is this even legal? The cashier was polite about it. How is it that a huge company like Starbucks can get away with not having a bathroom? read more

Best starbucks experience I've ever had. The workers were so friendly and nice, like seriously the most accommodating service. Quick service and great drinks and it felt so happy in there. I love you guys. read more

Shame on Starbucks for making the restroom permanently closed to customers. This location always had a customer restroom, but it recently decided to prohibit customers from using it. Instead, they send their customers to a business down the street. I personally think restrooms should be a requirement if serving food. It's at least an ethical decision that Starbucks should be ashamed of. read more

I don't like to leave critical reviews but I feel it would be helpful for growth. While the employees are super nice and helpful I feel it's very disorganized and no communication. Ordered 2 cake pops they were sent out separately, one pup cup and was given 2, Wanted an iced drink and got a hot. Other than that my vanilla latte was delicious and no complaints from my dog about his pup cup. read more

A very busy shop, but the staff is very nice and understanding! I suggest ordering online, they seem to have priority over in person orders.

I ordered online and was expecting to use the bathroom while I wait for them to make my drink. There was a sign that the bathroom is closed for customers. I asked one of the female employees (short hair and wears red lipstick) why did they close the bathroom and when are they going to open it again to be used. She said that it will never be used by customers FOREVER. It is odd to think that other locations are letting their customers use their bathrooms and have tables and chairs to hang out while enjoying your coffee. This location does not! We are paying almost $10 or even more for a cup of Joe, the least they can do is have their customers have a place to enjoy it! I wonder if Starbucks Corporate knows... read more

I placed an order online and when I walked in to pick it up at the store an employee named Ginelle starts laughing saying someone came in and took my order. How is it even funny ? Horrible customer service! Don't place your order online because apparently there are thieves who come in without the workers knowledge and take your order. I will not be coming to this store after this incident! read more

Awesome! I have a heart condition and have to be super careful about making sure things are decaf... On top of that... I am 'that guy' when it comes to coffee.

Only a few people in line and it didn't take long to put in my order. The wait was reasonable as they made my coffee drink and my latte was like expected at most other Starbucks. My lemon pound cake tasted fresh with the perfect amount of lemon. If you like lemon, you would like the lemon pound cake. There was no place to sit as all the chairs were occupied. It's a small place with not a lot of seating. The creamer area needed cleaning. This place is conveniently situated right off the freeway and close to other convenient stores. So parking is not a problem. read more

Stopped by here after picking up our banjo/bass player and heading to Santa Barbara for a gig. This location was relatively busy but the wait was less than 7 minutes to get our drinks. While there I had ordered a cold brew nitro coffee with white chocolate pumps and got two protein boxes and a cranberry bliss bar so that we had snacks on our mini road trip. The location I am told is a bit sketch but seemed alright in the day time. Otherwise the place was clean and quick read more

Bad service, unapologetic staff Mobile order saturday at 8:00 am Waiting patiently for 15 min. After 25 min I asked is my order was ready, they had no idea about my drink "We are so busy specially saturdays" someone said ... 7 people behind the counter So finally 30 minutes later I got my coffee , but wait, its not what I ordered!! Employee (Tattoos and ear expansors) twisted his mouth in discontent and told someone else to do my coffee.... So finally I got it 40 minutes later Guess what? not what I ordered again, but close to it ... Again not a single gesture of appreciation for my patience and not a single word of empathy and apology. Well, its just coffee right!? read more

I came to Starbucks because my daughter wanted a cake pop. It's tradition now that we see a Starbucks, I have to get her a cake pop. They had one cake pop left which was a pumpkin flavored cake pop with a happy face on it. My daughter was happy and enjoyed her cake pop. I definitely love seeing her happy. I ordered a tall mango iced tea. I was a little disappointed in my drink. I didn't taste the mango flavor too much and it tasted watered down. I didn't want to return it and ended up drinking it. At least it was a tall and not a venti. I hate wasting money. Other places have been more consistent with their drinks. Maybe I should have ordered something else. Oh well. This location is in the ghetto hood as there were strange people hanging inside. The bathroom in the back was blocked off. Such a negative. At least I didn't have to use the restroom. This location was okay. read more
