Louise! Starbucks is lucky to have Louise: She makes a great espresso drink and can instantly recognize when a sleepy customer can mumble and bumble, "Oh..ok.. here. Got it, thanks". (Yep, that's me talking to myself.) I received a knowing nod from Louise. The second early morning I was more awake and I asked Louise if I could take some shots for Yelp- and could I take one of her? She lit up and said, "I love Yelp! I'm a Yelper too!" Great barista, an enthusiastic Yelper and wears playful makeup to light up mornings before daybreak. read more

Starbucks - Preschooler son always loved this medallion, was about his height! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Space- small, few hightop chair and 2 reg chair Drink service- ordinary Customer service- poor because I was denied a refill of regular coffee after my initial purchase. Apparently this Sbux location is not considered a main/corp store so they don't have to abide by the offer or perks since it's inside a grocery store, ugh bummer. The lady on charge says I had to get a regular coffee in order to get a refill... Not coming back here, nothing special or that great anyway read more

It says it's the first Starbucks in a grocery store, so for that reason, it's pretty cool. Very cozy spot right when you are entering Mollie Stone's and it shares space with where Mollie Stone's place their flowers, so it's quite lovely to sip some coffee or tea nearby all the beautiful floral arrangements. They have a small sitting area with several outlets. Not meant for you to stay long as it gets busy, but nice spot to take a coffee/tea break. read more

Starbucks - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

Situated within the entrance to Mollie Stones, I'd say that this location may be a good alternative if you want something quick while in the area. I tried to order on the Starbucks app however, they were stating that certain inclusions weren't available at this location so I decided to just go in and see for myself. My suggestion is, don't use the app to order as it is not always accurate when it comes to this location specifically. Also, in terms of ambiance...it's in the entrance so there aren't any doors which can make it very chilly. I would not recommend sitting there for any length of time due to that fact alone. Overall, I would say this Starbucks location is great for "grab n go" or if you want a drink while shopping at Mollie Stones. The food was great as always and the people were nice enough. read more

Starbucks - First grocery Starbucks store - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I generally avoid this location due to inconsistent service (not getting drinks right that I order in the mobile app). Today with the app not working I ordered at the register. The cashier informed me that I would be charged extra for requesting no ice. Never had that happen before at any of the many Starbucks I've ordered this same drink! read more

Train your baristas well to make decent drinks!!!!! We pay a lot for one drink, it sucks! They don't know how to steam and make a latte!!!!

What does Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake, and my local Starbucks barista have in common? "Hey, Girl..." Yup, all graduates of the school of more cool than school. White guy aside, I find many are my friends, like when I choreographed Justin in his Sexy Back video, sans the ethnic. Maybe it's the shoulder sweater or maybe my acceptance of my 12% whiteness. But all I got for you is... "Hey, Girl..." I admit I love Starbucks, but I also admit not all Starbucks are the same. I mean just like us white guys lol. I've been to some crappy locations, but for the most part most are in the decent range. One of my favorite locations is the one at Mollie Stone, in fact my first white girlfriend was "Mollie", but I won't bore you with her "Pretty in Pink" sorority days;) I love this location more than the others and it's mainly due to location, away from the seedier parts of the city, just being honest, and the baristas here are pretty preppy too. Especially my morning regular barista, who I warmly greet with a... "Hey, Girl..." Yet, as insincere as I may seem for the uptight crowd from the uptown world. I'm actually pretty chill and nice. And the "Hey..." "Girl..." is spaced apart just right. And that's all this 12% white guy could want in the morning (well besides that;P) is a friendly greeting, a smile, and a consistent cup of a caffeine bev. And no, silly, not everyone I call... "Hey, Girl..." So even though there's a zillion Starbucks in the city, I tend to gravitate to this location. I guess you could call me a regular here, hence my photo being the main pic. *pats self* Since I've been here more than a dozen times, I will say I don't really have a regular drink, but I guess a latté of some sort is what rolls of my lips. The mocha and matcha I heart too. Of course, I'm always knee deep into those seasonal drinks like the pumpkin spice, et al. And like the drinks, I don't really have a regular bite, but will say I enjoy the warm croissant sandwiches and paninis. If in the mood for the sweet I tend to go with the lemon pound cake or cranberry orange scone. A snowman cookie. A frap here, a frap there. And yes, I'm now a mobile app user, so tend to just pickup my order, so less winks, and less... "Hey, Girl..." In the end, I recommend this Starbucks at Mollie Stone more than the others in the city. It's consistent and with friendly employees too. The ambiance is calm and being in Lower Pacific Heights it's a good spot to start my day. Yup, I've embraced my 12% white guy in me, but only use "Hey, Girl..." to impress you! I love you more. *kiss* read more

Service is bad and slow waited for over 15 minutes to be told to keep waiting on second so when I finally asked how long was told an additional 15-20 minutes waiting by the very rude girl behind the counter. read more

The Starbucks is inside Mollie Stone's, so it's not really a Starbucks. they did not have what I wanted, sparkling ice tea. The worker was not especially helpful. read more

As Starbucks go this one is pretty good. Efficient service, friendly staff and open all the time. It can be a bit of a wind tunnel to sit down here since there are no doors: it's in the entrance to the Mollie Stones grocery store. As for that, this is a historic location since this was the first Starbucks to be put in a grocery store. But not the last. Too bad the market doesn't indicate the date when that happened! read more

Starbucks - Historical marker since this was the first Starbucks in a grocery store. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I made an online order and came 20 mins later, the lady was asleep and had to wait another 5 minutes for her to make it

Extremely busy place (especially before COVID) located annexed to a popular fancy grocery store. It is great delicious but does get super busy. This an unique location with a landmark plaque : first Starbucks in grocery store! read more

Having been to several Starbucks throughout the city, this location is one of the best I've come across. Mainly, because of the fact they're located inside the grocery store, with tight parking security, there's always parking here :-) The barista was pretty easy going, helpful, attentive and fast. The only downside is that they were out of a lot of the things we wanted to order, which is the main reason for 4 stars. But, all in all, the overall experience was great and I will be frequenting this location every time I'm in the area!!! read more

First time in this store Bad customer service and they not upgraded their system so disappointed Please change the staff read more

Not open from 2-2:30pm apparently. Don't trust the posted hours of operation, they are not followed.

Carmel brûlée is amazingggg. Not to coffee tasting but not super sweet tasting either. A perfect blend of both with a Carmel vanilla-ish taste. Ham & Swiss always good. Service was super fast for 2 drinks & 3 warmed items. Friendly service read more

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

Did I tell you how much I love Starbucks? This friendly store is on the patio in front of Mollie Stone's, and it is a nice place to get a nonfat latte on Sundays. It's a nice place to stop for a nonfat latte when we're grocery shopping. It's a nice place to get Starbucks, instead of Peet's up the street. My Lady likes Peet's so I'm going to leave it at that. read more

This Starbucks sits in the entrance of the Mollie Stone market in Pacific Heights. It's a smaller Starbucks with only a few seats, but they offer the standard menu, flavors and pricing. Service has been very good the few times I've been....friendly, quick, everything you ask for in the brand. Overall...no complaints here. If you're in the neighborhood looking for a cup of joe...give this Starbucks a try. read more

The barista was nice but just a tip - this Starbucks is owned by Mollie stones and does not redeem or give rewards to card members. There is also limited seating. read more

Not busy, got my coffees . Totally forgot food. Wake up young man. No apology just after I went back up to ask for food.

I'm not a regular coffee drinker, and I didn't order anything when I frequented this place so this review isn't about the actual beverages or food they offer. I came here to meet up with someone and noticed that their coffee took about 15 minutes to prepare. This, in my book, was a bit long considering it wasn't that crowded. I might come get a coffee of my own one day, but only if I'm not in a rush to go anywhere. On second thought, I'll just go to the one two blocks away on Fillmore which also has a friendlier staff and more butt room. read more

You would think I would learn my lesson and check the expiration date after buying expired drinks several times here but no...I expect people to do their jobs right and put my faith in them. Today I bought an orange juice that was expired yesterday. This is not the first time this has happened at this particular Starbucks. Please check your expiration dates. It worries me to think that maybe your dairy products and other stuff you use behind the counter might also be expired. 2 stars for the friendly staff. read more

This is the FIRST Starbucks grocery store ever! What a local Starbucks to have. Pretty much your typical grocery Starbucks, perfect for when I'm in a hurry or grocery shopping. This one also gives you punch cards towards a free drink! Love that Starbucks now carries evolution drinks, so healthy and yummy! read more

When I used to live right down the block from here, I frequented this Starbucks. I understand that all Starbucks shops are supposed to be the same but this one always seemed to shine out the rest of them. Smaller then most coffee shops, but conveniently located inside a Molly Stone's, this Starbuck's provides a quick stop for that caffeine re-fuel. The staff are super sweet and always get my order right, and get this, which is the topper of them all, they always seem to spell my name correct on my cup. Thank you starbucks Lower Pac Heights! read more

I come to this Starbucks EVERY MORNING before work. Friendly staff who remembers my drink orders. The gal who works there, her name is Jessica, is really nice. They also give you a punch card. Free drink if you purchase 10? Something like that. I'm a happy kid when I get my free drinks :-) This place is also really convenient, plenty of parking space. read more

This store is attached to Mollie's Store - which has its own parking area - which is something really amazing in that area. we stopped there as we had go parking just infront. the staff was nice and polite - they also have a card plan - where you get a free cup after 10 stamps - which is rare in a startbucks read more

Want to start your morning with starbucks should visit this place quite and nice environment with quick service and yes I definitely like the service there we don't have to wait that long . read more

I like this SBUX inside of Mollie Stone's. It's distinctive and has a less corporate feel to this place. However, the place is fun-sized and has very limited seating. I grabbed the bar-stool as this gal was saving like two tables and five chairs for her group that was late. Entertaining in that it reminded me of that Seinfeld episode when Elaine had to save multiple seats in that theater. The grande house (italian roast) was comforting that rainy afternoon. I don't recall if this place has WiFi, but I got a few things done over Verizon LTE. The staff is very friendly. read more

Friendly & fast location, I'm usually in and out in 15 mins during the morning coffee rush.

Although I, personally, don't consider this to be a true Starbucks (no franchises man!), I do actually like it. Normally when I stay at my friend's house, I'll pick up coffee here on my way back down the peninsula. It doesn't seem like it has much seating (just a makeshift bar), but it is nice for a quick coffee without having to hassle with a long queue. Just don't expect the full-on Starbucks experience, because that won't happen here at this franchise. read more

Never thought I would review a Starbucks. I debated writing about this hidden gem because I wouldn't want it to become overly popular. Then again, I share. Just a few blocks away from Coffee Corner (Sacramento and Fillmore), tucked in the entrance of the overpriced Mollie Stone (that's for another review), there is a mini Starbucks. Not even one of those poser coffee bars with the cups that read "We Proudly Brew Starbucks Coffee". No, I'm talking a real Starbucks. Funny thing is, I'm not a die-hard fan of Starbucks, but with convenient parking and a friendly staff, I felt compelled to give them props. I will be back (I drive to work and live 2 blocks away...a perfect start to the long commute.) Better yet, I was only looking for beans as I typically brew at home, but was pleasantly surprised to see them comp my venti drip. Free stuff rules! read more

I'm usually suspicious about the quality of Starbucks beverage I will receive from an "in-store" Starbucks, but I am almost always pleased when I visit this one. The girls who work in the morning have remembered my name and know my drink, which makes the chain feel less chain-like. If they see me coming across the parking lot, all sweaty and gross from the gym, they get my drink going, and don't make me feel like I need to take a shower before I go out for a coffee. :) read more

I take coffee every day. this is a very good location. great guys quickly and correctly do their job

It's Starbucks. It is what it is. The Mickey Dees of coffee. But like Mickey Dees, we love it and keep coming back.

The staff is horrible. Not only did most of the females in that Starbucks ruin me and my friends drinks- they thought it was okay to do over and over. Don't waste your time. read more

Love love love the staff! Obviously, I am an avid coffee drinker, but their staff makes a big difference, especially when a cup of coffee can be easily made at home. I usually get a late start so I have the pleasure of being served by the gents in the afternoon. Sweethearts, and they are fast. Means A LOT when you're just a regular no frills coffee drinker like me. Freshness counts, I notice and appreciate that too. Thanks guys! Keep up the good work. :) Great treats too! read more

Starbucks has been always my favorite coffee center.... But this one is the best one .. and I cannot pass through this street without holding a cup of mocha ..... read more

Great customer service! Friendly and attentive staff. They remember my name and drink order... Granted, it's a regular coffee, not that hard to remember. They are a busy location, so just remembering that I've been here before is impressive. :) read more

never thought i would review a Starbucks but the service has been great each and every time I come in..how can I not give a shout out? never encountered ONE staff member that wasn't pleasant. the station though small gets a lot of traffic, but often there's only two people manning the station. so one makes the drinks, other takes orders and depending on the type of food you order either of them will take care of it I'm always here getting food for someone at work, usually the manager; I don't mind the times I have to wait because even though it's awhile you can tell the baristas are efficient..it's just what it is. never brought anything for myself but liked it so much I feel bad I never get to tip (they always hand me gift cards to use) I'd tip out of my own pocket plus free drink for every ten you buy card? I wish I liked Starbucks drinks :( read more
