Venti Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso
Alvin A.

Friendly customer service from the young female barista . Quick service making my way in and out with a happy smile. I mobile ordered my favorite drink, a Venti Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. Always use Starbucks Mobile App right before heading down. Every time I arrive, it's always ready and available at the pickup counter. I just skip the line, and it's there! This store is adjacent to my overnight hotel, getting to a coffee shop in the airport can be an unnecessary pit stop. But if you're super early or encountering a delay, you can sit and enjoy your drink, get free refills of drip coffee, and experience high speed WiFi!

Great Starbucks location right on the edge of Little Italy within walking distance of a bunch of high rise apartments! The service is friendly and quick, I've never had to wait on a mobile order it has always been ready for me when I walk in. Also if you haven't tried the horchata oatmilk shaken espresso you're missing out!

This starbucks is the WORST the employees are ALWAYS rude ! The barista always makes the coffee wrong and when I mentioned it they look at me like i'm stupid . I went this morning and again shitty service my cup is 1/2 way full ...

Huge fancy Starbucks, in downtown San Diego..great place to chill out, and meet friends, especially since outdoor seating is also nicely arranged. Service is typical of Starbucks-pretty efficient. I just wish their coffee tasted better though ...

Venti dark roast coffee with a smoked bacon egg cheese muffin

Starbucks is located on the ground floor on the beautiful towers of Luma apartments serving up tasty coffee and treats with great wifi! Starbucks is located on the bottom floor of Luma Apartments and is offering superb customer service and tasty drinks and snacks. I came here in a weekday to catch up on some work and enjoy the free wifi and a nice black dark roast venti coffee and a smoked bacon egg muffin, and everything was great. The coffee was piping hot, and the sandwich was great as well. The ambiance and decor were second to none while drinking coffee in Little Italy, San Diego. Customer service was great while it was fast and friendly, but due to the amount of homelessness inside, it was an issue for me, but it wasn't a big deal since most of them didn't cause a scene. There were plenty of tables, chairs and booths to sit at with great complimentary wifi and I got to complete what I had to do with no issues while enjoying a nice black dark coffee and bacon egg muffin. This is definitely a spot to check out for people watching and completing work at your job while enjoying coffee and a snack.

This is a fairly new Starbucks in Little Italy. It's a very nice looking Starbucks with an open floor plan and large windows. I had the Impossible Breakfast Sandwich for the first time on this visit and a iced Americano. My order would of come out much quicker than it did, but the lady wrote down the wrong name on my order, so they never called my name, as my order sat on the counter for about 20 minutes. Let's get the names write please. The impossible sausage breakfast sandwich was surprisingly good. I would order it again. It tasted good and the plant base sausage had good texture that emulated animal base protein. The iced americano was consistent with the others I have had from other Starbuck location. It was strong but smooth and easy to drink. I did add whole milk to mine however. Other than putting the wrong name on my order, the staff members were nice.

One of the nicest Starbucks I've been to.

This is a really Starbucks in Little Italy. They have an open floor plan with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. They have lots of outlets too. A big plus are the clean restrooms. Other Starbucks by Santa Fe Depot close their restrooms. Everyone knows what a dump the train station is. The barista"s are really nice here too.

I mobile ordered a drink at 954am and it's 1016am and my drink still isn't ready. I get busy but Tnis has to be the worst experience at Starbucks ever. When I would ask for an update, they wouldn't give me an answer. I'm pissed. Bad taste in my Mouth about Starbucks in San Diego.

Cinnamon Dolce Latte. Why order a venti if you receive a grande?
Cristina S.

This is the third time they messed up a simple coffee order. The first two times I received oat milk instead of whole milk in my latte, and now this pathetic looking one! I'm sorry, but for those prices I expect a little more consideration!

Venti iced green tea with two Splenda
Ana K.

I wanted an iced green tea and a place to sit down to work on my laptop so I went to my usual coffee shop in Starbucks. This Starbucks has indoor and open-air seating and provided great customer service. I was a happy camper!

My boyfriend and I wanted a quick bite to eat before heading to the Safari Park. Parking was easy…read moresince it's located in a plaza. We stopped by at around 8:20am today and there were only a few people in line. Service was welcoming and kind! They had an assortment of baked goods + empanadas as well as a great matcha/coffee menu. There's lots of seating for anyone who wants to hangout with friends or study. So awesome to see that they serve Nami (aashleyk's matcha brand). I ordered a chicken empanada, pan de elote, & an iced matcha cloud (less sweet & oat milk). Everything was absolutely DELISH. I'm pretty picky about my matcha, especially when it's in an Einspanner form. I loved the contrast between the sweet/salty cloud and the matcha itself! This place has their ratios down perfectly. Can't wait to come back (probably tomorrow)! 11/10.

The staff were awesome and super friendly. I got the Mia-mor Latte and a plain bagel with cream cheese, and both hit the spot. One major bonus: they only charge $0.50 extra for oat milk! Most other coffee shops charge $1.00 or more now, so that was a really nice surprise. They also gave me a stamp card for future visits, which I'll definitely be using. Will absolutely be back!

Spill the Beans has completely ruined every other coffee shop for me…read more I'm here every single morning, and there's a reason. The bagels are larger, fluffier, and have this perfect subtle sweetness -- rumor has it they're boiled in agave syrup, and honestly, it shows.

Parking is a bit of a pain bit of you are in waking distance or come early enough it shouldn't be an issue. Sometimes they run out of items if you come later in the day. They have a special Bagel of the month, so make sure to ask what it is. They have several bagel flavors, and different flavor cream cheese spreads. I love the habanero bagel, it's one of my favorites, but just be warned it is very hot. Definitely don't eat it without something cold to drink. They also have a breakfast sandwich called the San Diego which is a favorite of several people I know. You chose the bagel you want it with and they add fried eggs, bacon, cheese and aioli. I highly reccomend it. I've not had a lot of their deinis, but i did order the cinna-bee which has honey, cinnamon, espresso and milk. I thought it was good and would order it again. Definitely check them out and try some of their bagels, or perhaps one of their sandwiches.

Honestly this place is so good. The atmosphere genuinely feels like you walked into a cafe in Japan…read moreit's cozy, cute, and nothing like your typical San Diego restaurant. It's based on the kissaten café style from Japan and you can really feel that when you're sitting there. Servers were friendly and attentive as well The omurice was amazing. fluffy egg over brisket fried rice with a house-made demi-glace that all just works together really well. Got the earl grey lavender tea to go with it and that combo alone is worth the trip. Already planning to come back and try more of the menu.

This Japanese restaurant is so cute and pretty!! The servers also add to the Japanese vibe~…read more The menu is pretty easy to navigate. I feel like everything looked really good, so it was hard to decide what to order. The dishes have small portion size despite the price. I think this kinda helps in that you have room to eat dessert! The brown sugar Okinawa tea was good but the after taste of the sugar was not good. They kept the tea pot warm, and they served oat milk on the side. Karaage had too much chicken skin for my preference. Guratan was penne pasta and not macaroni as specified in the menu. Yakisoba could have used more chicken. Omurice had the more flavor and the egg was really good. I want to try naporitan next time because of the tomato based sauce. Of the desserts I tried, the parfait was most enjoyable because of the fruit with ice cream. The mushi pudding was good; it was the thick and "hard" type of flan. I want to try kakigori next time because I saw their shaved ice machine was legit. Parking - free street parking only. Be prepared to walk up/downhill. Credit card/apple pay accepted Bathroom is only one room in the back. THE SEAT IS WARM. This was a nice gem to find in this part of town.
