The convenient cafe I visit when my gift card says so! I'm definitely not a coffee snob - if anything, I'm a person who goes wherever convenience or a gift card leads. Recently, I switched things up and traded my usual Iced Americano for an Iced Matcha Latte. Is it the best matcha? No. Does it get the job done? Yes. And since I'm cutting down on caffeine, this matcha is mild enough to keep me functional without destroying my sleep. Staff are usually friendly- especially at 6:30am, which is impressive in my book. I'm not even fully awake at that time, but it's a great interaction to start my day. The inside is spacious, clean, and definitely laptop-friendly. I usually do pick-up orders through the app or drive-thru which are usually fast. Pros: *Friendly staff, even at the crack of dawn *Spacious lounge-style seating- great for laptop time *Quick and reliable pickup/app orders *Clean interior and easy workflow environment *Convenient location near Ralph's, UPS store, Chase, CVS, dry cleaner, etc. *Matcha latte that's not amazing, but dependable (especially for light caffeine needs) Cons: *Matcha isn't top-tier, but works in a pinch *Restroom is non-gender so may have to wait during busy times *Restroom hand dryers only *Not my go-to spot unless convenience or a gift card tells me otherwise Verdict: *Four stars ! If you want a convenient lounge-y cafe with solid service and chill vibes, this place does the trick! read more

The location is very nice. A friend and I stopped by here to have a beverage while waiting on another friend to be ready. Upon entry we were greeted by the staff. The location is very spacious. It is configured like a cool lounge. The vibe is cool, the only issue I have at this location is that they only have hand dryers in the restroom. The restroom is non-gender and so the wait can be challenging. I was frustrated because I ordered a Horchata Frappe and I was given a regular iced latte, which was not good. Overall, this was a decent stop. read more

It had been quite a while since my last visit to this Starbucks, and as I was checking the menu to order a morning drink, one of the baristas cheerfully greeted me by name, saying, "Hello, Daken, I haven't seen you in a while!" "Lei" who I met 2 years ago even remembered my order preferences, asking, "Do you still like steamed cream in your Americano?" I had forgot that I enjoyed steam cream! Later, "Mariella" greeted me with the warmest hello and smile while delivering my refill right to my table. It felt like I had never been gone! My wife and I were incredibly impressed by this exceptional level of customer service. For me, this Starbucks creates a truly warm and welcoming environment on a day to day basis like no other I've seen. Congrats to the manager "Michael" as well for keeping this ship running efficiently and positive energy. read more

This spot was very cozy for a Starbucks! There were plenty of tables and the best part was the AC. I had some time to spare so I thought to just sit and enjoy my coffee. I usually do a pick up order and they make it very quickly. The shop was clean and spacious, so I'll consider coming here another time to get some work done or if I want to be productive! read more

Listen everyone is nice. I've only been through the drive through. So nice. Always comment on my dogs. But the inconsistency in drinks is crazy. I always order mango dragon fruit lemonade. So times it looks like the picture some times it looks like straight up lemonade. read more

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

Took a minute for for any of the 8-10 employees to acknowledge us after we walked in and we waited at the register to place an order. Even though multiple employees walked right past us without saying anything. When we finally were helped w/ received it with a side of attitude. Got my drink, only for it to be something completely different (more expensive) from what I ordered. Asked for a few napkins which we could see right next to the barista for him to tell us they're over by the door. Guess everyone working this morning woke up on the wrong side of the bed. read more

Located on 5698 Mission Center road, San Diego, CA 92108. This location is extremely busy after 7am until the evening. It's near a lot of other businesses such as Ralph's, a dry cleaner, The UPS store, Chase bank, CVS, Subway, Mr.Moto etc. There is plenty of free parking. I usually do app order and drive through. Customer service is great. My mocha hot latte is a hit or miss here; not sure why lol. Sometimes my drink tastes like it's missing something. Other than that; food is decent. I some times order their ham and cheese croissant or one of their pastry. Clean and tidy Starbucks. Thanks for reading my review, have a wonderful day. read more

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

This is my go-to Starbucks. It's so convenient with the drive-through because we are always in the neighborhood. My favorite thing about Starbucks is all of the fun cake pops. They have decorated differently every season. So happy that their winter drinks are out now. I highly recommend the peppermint mocha. Parking is a little tricky at this location, but you can always find a spot in the Ralph's parking lot if need be. read more

They do not read what is on the cup order. I order line the cup and/or extra caramel and they never do it. They just do NOT care. They arent as friendly as other starbucks either. I promise we all do not want to work. But at least read my order and follow through. :/ read more

Starbucks - Yum? Where is the extra extra caramel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Wow, this Starbucks is absolutely beautiful. It's honestly one of the biggest and most stunning lobbies I've ever seen. I actually traveled just to visit this location because I'd heard so many great things and couldn't wait to experience it for myself. I was even excited to capture some content of the gorgeous setup, but unfortunately, my experience with Lark really changed the tone of my visit. When I asked for two cups of ice, Lark told me I needed to make a purchase first. I was happy to do so, but after I paid, he didn't say a single word. He just walked away without handing me my receipt, leaving me standing there at the register until another partner noticed I was waiting. His energy felt cold and unwelcoming, and instead of offering even a simple thank you or acknowledgment, he carried on as if I wasn't there. What really disappointed me was that the entire interaction felt rushed, dismissive, and honestly rude. There was laughter during the order that didn't feel friendly--it felt like we were being laughed at, not with. As someone who used to be a Starbucks barista, I know what great service and genuine connection look like, and this wasn't it. I've always loved Starbucks for its warmth, consistency, and community feel. I'm a loyal customer and tumbler collector, and visiting new stores is something I truly enjoy. But this visit made me feel unwelcome in a place that's supposed to feel like a little home away from home. I left feeling disappointed and bummed that I didn't even feel comfortable staying to enjoy the beautiful space I'd come to see. This store has so much potential, and I really hope this feedback encourages more kindness, attentiveness, and genuine connection with guests in the future. read more

Entire staff is rude daily. I had eye surgery recently and made it known they handed me extra hot coffee and told me to grab a sleeve warmer myself. Extremely disconnected and definitely ONLY working for a quick paycheck. AMERICA is doomed. Hate this Starbucks. read more

Marco and Anne and Charisse great customer service keep up the great service food and drinks thanks

Walked in asked to use the bathroom & the girl said " u have to buy something to use the bathroom" I will never buy anymore Starbucks.... Poor customer services... My plan was to go in & make a purchase but wanted to use the restroom 1st... Absolutely ridiculous... read more

The food and drinks are the same as all of the other locations but the staff here is so much worse. I got sass today about remaking a drink for someone who is lactose intolerant after they put whipped cream on it. read more

I've been coming to this location for about 3 years sometimes daily. Recently I've had really unpleasant encounters with the manager Rachel. She had flat out lied to me about company policy and during one of my visits I sat down with a piece of merchandise I planned to purchase after I drank my coffee. I set it on the table out in the open. I did not go anywhere near the exit with it. She approached me and informed me she would need to hold it at the register just "in case I chose to steel it" I've worked in retail mgmt for over 10 years and we were NEVER allowed to accuse someone of steeling! I'm considering hiring an attorney because what she did was slanderous! I will reconsider the amount of business I give Starbucks! read more

I accidentally placed a mobile order at the wrong store tonight and I asked the supervisor if it would be possible to be remade here. The only item on the order was a black iced tea. The supervisor said she would have to re-charge me and wouldn't remake the mobile order. It was a shame since I was already all set up with my laptop in the cafe. I understand it was my mistake but I don't see how it was a huge issue to remake my one tea. Definitely not revisiting this location!!! read more

This location is nice. It is pretty clean and easy to find. I never have issues with parking in this shopping center. I had to meet up with some classmates here, to study for a final. I was able to find a table for us, but with the size of this place, I wish there was more seating. With the size of this location, I would expect more seating. Maybe it relates to social distancing, or they want it to have a more spacious feel? I'm not sure what it is really, but I do feel that they could probably add a few more tables. When this was a Burger King, I feel as if it had way more seating then it does as a Starbucks. I also wish there were more outlets. The bigger table we sat at had outlets in the table, but other tables didn't have any outlets close by. Atmosphere was good. We were able to study here for several hours. It was not overly noisy and music level was fine. Aside from those issues, this is a nice location. The staff is friendly and drinks come out quickly and taste as they should. I would definitely return if I were in the area. Drinks: 3 - 4 / 5 Cleanliness: 4 / 5 Service: 4 / 5 Atmosphere: 4 / 5 Overall 4 / 5 read more

Tried out this Starbucks location for the first time since they've moved over to where Burger King used to be & they now have a drive through! Got through fairly quickly with friendly customer service. My sandwiches were piping hot . Tried out the caramel ribbon crunch frappe & it was so good! Fast paced. Parking lot is a nightmare if you're not used to the chaos. read more

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

If I could give zero I would. Ordered and got my daughter her drink . Then asked for a venti hot water. NO was the policy change per the cashier. Cancelled the order and won't ever come back to this Starbucks. Refunded my daughter's drink . read more

Came here this morning and it was BUSY. The drive through line was long so we went inside. We ordered our drinks but this time it took awhile because they were so busy. BUT the baristas did the best they could and when they gave you your drinks they were very nice and polite. Thank you Starbucks baristas for your hard work and for great customer service!! Will definitely be back!! read more

Starbucks - Left: Iced Matcha Green Tea Latte with oatmilk Right: Dragon Drink - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Standard Starbucks with standard employees. Always friendly and efficient but it's Starbucks. The Indoor dining area looks very nice and roomy. A good place to sit and study while drinking coffee if my college days weren't over. (thank the Lord they are) I'll be back. I usually try to avoid chain restaurants but Starbucks is always convenient If you want good coffee. Feel that Starbucks is over rated and pricy compared to other coffee places out there. read more

Starbucks - a woman sitting at a table in a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

This is your typical neighborhood starbucks, but wait...what makes it different is that it is right next to CIVITA and the business district of mission valley, so be warned...you will need to wait. The baristas are literally working their butt of during the whole shift. The only time I saw this place slow down was right before closing. The cars are back up throughout the drive thru, the pick up orders are laid out covering majority of the table and the line to order is long. However; even for being so busy they are always accommodating and willing to slow down to make sure your order is correct. The food and ambiance is similar to any starbucks, but you can tell a lot of the neighborhood frequent this location. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would be back for my shaken oat latte! Yummmmm read more

Whenever I am in San Diego, I frequent this Starbucks. On this trip I went five days in a row and every time the staff was warm and friendly and efficient. Food was great. On one visit I had to wait an extra minute for coffee to be brewed, and Michael brought it out to my table. So nice! My partner and I get Venti ceramic mugs for here and enjoy making this our go-to spot to start our San Diego mornings. read more

This place only gets worse and worse everytime I go. Poor customer service from some, not all. The employees are just talking and talking , so they take forever to make your drink. And the new water policy is ridiculous! Purchase inside but try to get a water from the drive thru within seconds? They say no. Wow. Disappointed in this place. read more

This one has ALWAYS screwed up my order. only if I'm in a hurry will i go to this one which just means I'll get any drink except what I ordered. go to the one near Ralph's instead for speed AND accuracy- this one must be their training facility for the juniors.. read more

I have been to this location a couple of times, always for pickup and this was my first time ordering inside. This location is spacious yet busy. It seems allt of the patrons today had little to no respect for others, as music was blasting from laptops, loud videos being watched... I get it, free wi-fi but there needs to be some respect for others. The staff was friendly and busy making drive-thru orders and mobile orders. I was getting my free birthday drink and the barista who made it placed it in trenta cup because the banana expands, that was really nice as most others throw away the rest... I mean technically it's paid for ‍ The wait wasn't too long and I was on my way. Leaving is a hassle especially because you are trying to merge across traffic with drive thru customers coming at you as well. read more

Been through here so many times since it's right down the street from my work. The team is friendly and quick with getting drinks out. Minor concern is that since they get so busy, they run out of some food items fairly early in the day. Decent amount of space with tables, lounge areas to sit. Frequented by students and business folks alike. I've seen many interviews being conducted here as it's close to lots of commercial office space. Keep on Yelp'n! read more

Starbucks - Java chip frap w raspberry syrup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

This location has a huge dine-in area. On a weekday mid-morning, it was busy but not crowded inside. Parking can be a challenge. It's right next to a bunch of Tesla charging stations, so it's convenient for those drivers. I prefer to order on the app. Got a matcha Frappuccino that tasted fine. Bathrooms were clean, and people were friendly. read more

I don't appreciate how comfortable people get in the restaurant. People treat it as their home, with their belongings covering nearly the entire table. Additionally, the man seemed to be passing out and twitching, and I don't believe he was healthy. There really should be more regulation with this. read more

One of the few Starbucks in the area with a spacious indoor area to study/work and chill! Comfy seats. Plus a drive thru. In the age of disappearing Starbucks seating and even bathrooms, this is a winner. read more

I can't wait for the new Starbucks to be able to open up their awesome sitting areas. I can't wait to try one of the nice leather chairs. And there's plenty of electrical plugs everywhere. I'll miss Burger King but this is a much better use of the space. read more

Very sad store, I traveled the world worst starbuck. I've ever been in so unprofessional training.They're horrible.

It was just ok. My drink wasn't what I was hoping for but it was doable. The guy at the window was awesome though. Great smile and very friendly. read more

Awesome ambiance. Great service! This is going to be my spot every time I'm in San Diego!

We visit this location often and it's disappointing to see people with poor attitudes. Siena in the drive thru needs to work on her attitude. We always order an ice shaken espresso and well... it always comes shaken already. She told us today that they can't shake it and that's it comes with all the espresso at the bottom. She told us to try stirring it with our straw. Pretty pathetic. read more

I went through the drive thru and ordered a Venti Iced Upside down Caramel Macchiato with extra drizzle and the young lady in the drive through was so nice, friendly, asked if I wanted anything to eat which I did I got the tomatoe mozzarella also. When I got to the window turned out her name was Nye and she had a beautiful smile. She was courteous and respectable and asked me how my day was. we had a small chit chat and she gave me my drink and my food. And I was on my way. I will return to this locations. Thanks Nye read more

Placed my order at 3:04pm, app said it would be ready by 3:06-3:10pm. Someone I know placed their order after me and got their drink before me. I was asked what was my drink so I told him and he was barely going to make it (this was around 3:15) I needed to get back to work already so asked for a refund and was refused because "he was already making it". It was a grande dragon drink , it didn't have any dragonfruit in it and it tastes like pure coconut milk and water. Waste of money. This is about my 3rd or 4th time here since it's so close to my job but all times I have been disappointed. read more
