I was waiting for my ride with time to kill and decided to grab a snack and hot chocolate from here. Short line but service was slow.

Slow and rule to the guest. No refund for me when they can not give me the bacon wrap

Crazy how this location has so many 1 star reviews...! I was waiting for a friend in arrivals and noticed how baggage claim would become hectic and then feel serene just a moment after. If you're tight on time and need to make a connecting flight, maybe you shouldn't place an order when they're busy. If they're busy, they are busy and trying their best. I got in line when no one was there and my order was done within seconds. I tried an iced green tea with two scoops matcha powder and a splash of oat milk as well as my guilty pleasure: heated chocolate croissant. It's not the best chocolate croissant, but remember, this is fast food. Yes, I tried being healthy and ended up getting buttery chocolatey carbs. It's called balance ;) The cashier was nice and polite. Around 5-6 people working.

More whipped than the frappee itself waited 30min.already blended it yet she left it I it for a while. Did other ppl drinks 6 ppl behind me

They didn't have like last time didn't have time to go back to complain or remake my drinks

Come here prepared to witness the madness that is sure to be unavoidable at this Starbucks location. Long lines grow rapidly due to baristas taking their sweet precious time as they ring up at the registers and push out drinks at the bar. Located in the terminal where international departures congregate, there is a constant flow of hustle and bustle. It's safer to come here and grab your order togo since seating is nonexistent for the most part. Came here to order: Strawberry Acai Refresher with Lemonade [no water] Cafe Latte Matcha Green Tea Latte Drinks took some time but they were made very well. I appreciated the lattes not consisting of too much foam which happens more often than not. 3 Stars due to it's potential. FYI: Do not come here if you are in a rush. I repeat, DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE IN A RUSH!! Flights will be missed, you will kick yourself in the butt for a mistake that could have been so easily avoided, and come ready for quite a bit of standing around.

I have done a review in the past for Starbucks which has ultimately great drinks and on the go reheated food which is not the best quality but is something. This Starbucks is in the SFO airport so it is always a vibe to come here and enjoy the same consistent drink.

This shop is a different creature. Unfortunately it is located at the baggage claim area, which is crazy hectic. Now, I work here, so I know how peaceful can turn into crazy in three seconds. One minute you can order and get your stuff in minutes and a minute later you can wait up to 15. I'm only judging them on their performance and not the craziness surrounding them. The cashier as well as the other employees were friendly and were doing their best to serve everybody. Unfortunately I showed up when it was getting kind of crazy. It took me one minute to order and another 10 minutes if not 15 to get my order. The staff was friendly and working as fast as possible. On the plus side my order was correct and I destroyed that delicious warm brownie. If you're going to order here, try to be patient. These guys working here are trying to do the best possible job they can, with what they have been given.

Getting that fix!

This place is a freakin madhouse! The congestion of people that inhabit this place is just insane. I was in line for 10 minutes waiting to order and then decided to wait to outside for the line to die down before going back in to place my order. I just couldn't believe how chaotic this place was. I have been to other coffee spots in SFO and this one lacks so much structure. First off, the line to the register was split and extremely confusing. Next, there seemed to be an understaffed team the morning that I was here as well, that is never good. I could not tell if orders were being taking or not because I felt like the line wasn't moving. After waiting for far too long in line I had to step out. Once I found my seat outside I waited for approximately 20 minutes for the line to simmer down and then I was eventually able to get back and line and place my order. But, had I been waiting on a flight I would've been pissed. Thankfully, my drink came out great but the service was just not good at all. I'm actually disappointed that the service took so long for everyone waiting. Getting more staff hired here and getting more coverage would be most beneficial for this Starbucks.

It's small and really busy, but it was our first stop. Beloved needed his caffeine fix and this is what he wanted. VERY expensive but service was fast and by the time we got coffee our bags were ready. They offered a pretty full selection of regular food items , but no bananas.

This has been at the same location right by their shelves of mugs and food display .

Don't even waste your time ordering here unless you have a minimum of 20 minutes to wait for one drink.

There were two self-order kiosks and one register (with the employee running around like a chicken taking orders, getting orders out, and yelling at customers). Also, they don't accept gift cards at this airport location. The hot breakfast wrap with bacon was served warm, as it had been kept in foil under a heat lamp, but clearly it was sitting in the display case for quite a while. It tasted old. And the drink I got was the worst I ever had at Peet's, of all the locations I've been to in my entire life. Though I paid for extra chocolate, they put less than even a regular iced mocha, and the workers ignore you if you need help, so I couldn't even get this resolved. I understand they were busy, but there was a total lack of customer service here. I don't need friendly workers as long as you get the order right. They failed on all levels. Terrible way to start my day. It's good I was heading toward good food and drinks in Arizona for my quick weekend getaway. Avoid this Peet's at SFO if possible. There are much better options nearby, including Green Beans Coffee if you walk toward Terminal F.

I didn't make any adjustments to the drink and the sweetness level was just right for me. Funnily, I walked right past the place because I couldn't find any obvious signage outside. It's a small cafe with a little counter and window seating, seems to be mostly a grab-and-go spot. The menu has a great variety beyond the standard coffee options. Several speciality drinks caught my eye like the Ferrero Rocher latte which I'll definitely try next time. The service was super chill and friendly and I'll definitely be swinging by again. Parking tip: Grand Ave is generally rough when it comes to parking. Save yourself some time and head straight to Miller Ave parking garage. I've hardly had any trouble finding a spot there and it's just a short walk from Dead Eye.

I lucked out with a parking spot right across the street, but walked past it as there's no sign with a name. You have to look for a little weird symbol and then go into a building and turn left, then go into another door. The shop itself is very small, more floorspace is dedicated to the kitchen than the waiting area. They have exactly 3 oddly short stools to sit on, so if it's at all busy don't plan on staying. I got there 15 minutes before closing on a Sunday, so unsurprisingly all the seats were vacant. The drink itself was good, vibrantly purple and not too sweet. I think it was a little light on espresso, though, next time I'd ask for a double (and yes I did specify the espresso-version, apparently the normal ube latte is caffeine-free). The reason I went to Dead Eye is because I wanted some good tasting caffeine that wasn't from a chain and want bubble tea, so in that regards it delivered. They take credit cards.
