Lots of orders
Calvin N. H.

This Starbucks is in the vicinity of Mesa College, Kearny High School, Sharp Memorial Hospital, and Rady Children's Hospital... so naturally, it is quite busy here. The pick up counter had a ton of orders when I arrived with my buddy (see picture). Although the employees were busy, they took the time to welcome us when we walked in. We had a short wait in line, then placed our order. We got our drinks in a relatively short amount of time. Service is usually good here. This location also has a drive thru which can also get busy and affect getting into this little shopping center. I have seen this happen mostly in the morning. So if you're in a hurry, although it's a little farther, Starbucks down the road on Convoy might be a little faster. Our drinks were good and what we expected. The good thing about Starbucks is you know exactly what you're getting and what it should taste like. Mom and Pop shops might take some trial and error and the quality and taste might vary (sometimes better and sometimes worse). It's good that Starbucks expanded their menu and now serves food items and snacks. Smart idea and saves people from having to go to multiple places to grab coffee and breakfast or a snack. This is a Starbucks frequent when someone in our group wants Starbucks coffee. 4 / 5: Drinks 3.7 / 5: Food 4 / 5: Service 4 / 5: Cleanliness 3.9 / 5: Overall

There's no day that I will miss a drink from Starbucks, I will stop whenever I see one. Sometimes I get them 3 times a day or just 1 a day. But my usual stop is here at this Starbucks location 'coz it has a Drive-Thru service, so it's very convenient since it's Tough to find a parking around when there are other stores next to it and the parking is very tight here. Sometimes I sit inside, but I try to avoid this place in the early morning during School hours because this Starbucks is near a High School, within walking distance for the students. OMG, it's packed, as in packed with Students at that time. There are no tables available every time I tried to go in the morning. I love every Starbucks drink, but these are my Usual orders: *SUMMER SKIES *PEACH ICE GREEN TEA *BROWN SUGAR OATMEAL SHAKEN ESPRESSO *ESPRESSO FRAPPUCCINO *VANILLA BEAN CREME FRAPPUCCINO *TURKEY PROVOLONE & PESTO on CIABATTA *MANGO DRAGON FRUIT *HOT CARAMEL MACCHIATO This Starbucks also has a good selection of Cups and Tumblers here. Also, Starbucks has an app for Rewards points, every time you buy a drink you get points, and then with the earned points you can redeem them for a drink, bakery items, or cups. In 6 Months I always earn 8,000 points and I use them for my drinks, tumblers, or bakery items. These Starbucks Reward points have an expiration date so check them before your Points expire. The Staff here is nice and the bathroom is always clean, the service here is mostly fast and the drinks are made well. One thing I do not like is the Parking, it's too Tight so mostly I just go to their Drive Thru. And also if they can add tables and chairs outside that would be nice

Definitely the smaller size Starbucks location in a small shopping plaza as well, I would assume people stop here just to grab a to go drink, definitely not a lot of spaces to sit inside to hang out play games or even study, but I did see random people occupied 2 or more tables for themselves here. The parking spaces outside aren't any better, it's limited as it shares with other restaurants in the plaza as well, so if you decide to meet a friend here, probably not ideal. Still got a chance to try their new Summer Skies Drink with coconut milk and raspberry flavored pearls, tasted ok, refreshing maybe.

This Starbucks has a drive-thru as well as seating inside. My coffee was great and service was fast!

Food is typically what you would expect for a Starbucks. Nothing special. Service is average. Drive thru can be long in the morning; sometimes averaging about 10-15 minutes. No real seating available. More of a 'grab and go' vibe.

I used to go to this location every. Single. Day. Sometimes twice a day. That's just how often I get Starbucks. But I've been avoiding this location, and I haven't been wanting to do a review because almost every single person there is so kind to me and my kids. However after this morning it's just too much. I get the same drink every time, a pink drink with light ice and no strawberries. And the last few weeks every single time I go the drink is practically white. I want a pink drink, not a white drink. I started testing it out and every single other location I've been to makes a PINK pink drink, but this location makes a white drink with a side of pink. I feel horrible complaining about the color of my drink but it's not tasty drinking 90% coconut milk. I've started ordering my drink "a splash of coconut milk", at only this location, because again I don't have to do this at any other Starbucks. But still the drink looks the exact same way. I ordered ahead this morning, a drink for my brother and my pink drink. I get there and I have to wait another 8 minutes after my brother's latte is done for my drink to be ready. And then it's white. I asked the lady to please make it more pink because the drink was practically white and she told me that she did because she saw the "splash of coconut". With multiple young children I don't always have the time or energy to request it to be made the correct way. And I'm tired of having to ask for it be fixed every visit, and then getting the drink back looking the exact same way. I've added a picture of my drink this morning for reference, you can see how I asked for less coconut milk. And this is what it looked like AFTER sending it back and asking for even less. I know this may not seem like a big deal to many, but when I am spending HUNDREDS of dollars a month I'd like for the only drink I ever get to be made correctly. The people in the drive through have always been the kindest, and gone above and beyond for myself and my kids, same with the people at the counter.

I usually do not go to Starbucks on a regular basis, but mostly for a special occasion or day I treat myself. Of course my little pup Emee the Chi has learned that if mommy gets a treat, she gets a treat! This is the location I come to most and I have always been treated with the best customer service and kindness by the employees here, especially when Emee is with me. They're always accommodating and provide excellent service!

Only opened, not a drink taken.

This Starbucks location is closest to my house so it has been my go to location since moving to this area... until now. Each time I have ordered here, there has been something not right about almost every order I have made. Their drinks never seem up to actual Starbucks standards from when you order from any other location. Now today I got a pumpkin spice latte, drove home and haven't taken one single sip. They filled this cup up half empty. I have never experienced this before, there is not even whipped cream or foam inside to excuse this. Paid full price for this drink to get a half cup.

Today I stopped by Starbucks to grab a surprise drink for a friend. I don't really get food at Starbucks but I was starving and thought I would try something new so I got the Tomato and Mozzarella Focaccia. 3 hours later and I am in so much pain and I can not leave the bathroom. I have not had anything else to eat and my friend said she feels totally fine, so clearly it was the food. Never again I am done with Starbucks, I basically paid them to give me food poisoning...Great. When I called to let them know a food item might have gone bad the girl who worked there was very dismissive Direct quote: "And, I don't know what you want me to do about it..." By the time she realized I was just calling to let them know so they could at least check the dates on the food so others don't get sick. I was so put off by her horrible attitude I just hung up.

Very cute shop. Perfect for meet up, study, work, or just chill with a nice cup of matcha latte!…read more Staff/baristas are super friendly and helpful. All their lattes are amazing but my personal fav is the matcha. Excellent quality matcha and you can definitely taste it! Been here a few times just to grab some lattes and pastries to go but love the vibes. Will be back someday to just chill and enjoy the environment.

Pretty damn busy coffee spot and it was hopping on a Saturday afternoon when I popped in here…read more So many people in here studying, catching up, etc. And it was like Asian central so I felt right at home except for the fact that I might have been 25+ years older than everyone in here lol. I am in the closet about my age and still think I am like a kpop kid lmfao. Who am I kidding here?? Its a great space, but would agree they could probably cram in a few more tables. There's also another back area, and more tables back there. Guy helping me was very patient and helpful. He was also handsome too, always nice to have eye candy, even if I could have been his ajima!! I ordered a hojicha cloud as I love a good hojicha and I prefer it over matcha. I don't like sweet drinks so I asked him how sweet and he responded that the drink has 15g maple syrup in it. I froze like a deer in headlights because I didn't know what that meant but was impressed with how precise he was. I told him to just make it half that. I waited a few minutes and then my iced hojicha cloud came out. The foam on top was delicious and the hojicha was well made. I guess I could do with 7.5g of maple syrup! I sat outside as they put a bunch of chairs out and enjoyed the people watching but also some of the Miramar Air Show going on too. They came real close and did some neat tricks! Parking is a bit of a problem in this shared lot but overall, this was a good experience and I would return. Nice coffee bar with good drinks and good vibes!

We've been wanting to check out Long Play Hi-Fi for a while, and after finally finding it (which is…read morepart of the experience ).. It's got this hidden, almost speakeasy vibe. You ring the doorbell, wait patiently, and once you're inside, you realize this isn't your typical coffee shop. It's a place to slow down, enjoy the music, and savor your drink. Monique and Danica were both amazing. They're warm, welcoming, and you can really see the passion behind what they do. Danica is also the DJ, and her eclectic playlist made the whole experience even better. One of my favorite parts was just sitting there watching our drinks being made. You can see the care and craft that goes into every cup...even the Kuramoto ice is beautiful. The Matcha Americano completely changed my perception of matcha. The Kyoto cold brew pour-over was fascinating to watch and incredibly smooth. We loved it so much that we came back the very next day. This time I had the Midori, and my brother-in-law loved the Highball, especially the yuzu. No laptops. Trust the DJ. Drinks are meant to be enjoyed fresh, so take your time. If you're looking for a quick coffee run, this isn't it. But if you appreciate great coffee, good music, and people who are passionate about their craft, Long Play Hi-Fi is absolutely worth the visit.

(Dw, from the inside, you can see outside well) Drinks were really good and carefully made, song selections were unique! We ended up chatting with one of the customers there too.

Read an update from the local LV writer that this place had remodeled and reopened. I was amazed as…read moreI had driven by so many times not noticing the place. After heading over and trying a few items really regretted not going g earlier. Ordered the coconut Sunday with coconut and mango ice cream. Best coconut ice cream! It is served w/3 scoops plus coconut meat in a coconut shell. 5/5. We also ordered the sticky rice w/mango sundae w/mango ice cream. 5/5 We ordered to take home the coconut jelly and the bar bin for home. Enjoyment. Again both were great. Cute interior design with a few seats and a couple outside. Parking may be limited at busy times- we did luckily find one next to the building but didn't see any others. Staff was super friendly, answered questions for items we weren't sure about and advised how to heat up our take home item.

Super good desserts…read more Cleanliness and consistency is the issue First few times I've had the original I had so much coconut shavings and mango and coconut milk and when I ordered side of rice it was a good amount Today it was small amount of rice with a few drops of coconut milk and 3 piece of coconut and 4 pieces of mango it's not like my first 2 times And my ice cream part didn't even have coconut milk If you go here it will randomly be good. Cleanliness especially bathroom looks really dirty and unorganized. As busy as this place, they need to clean up and add more quality place to hang out in. Still very good desserts, like I said the issue now is consistency and cleanliness Thank you guys
