If i remember correctly, I believe this location used to be a Starbucks Reserve, but it's not anymore. The interior is still reminiscent as the space is more classy-looking than your average Starbucks location with the longer wooden bar and higher ceiling interior. The drinks are average. I found my lavender matcha way too sweet on this visit. Located on Chestnut between Pierce and Mallorca Way. read more

Stopped here for a quick shot of espresso and a cup of water. The place was almost full, with all the seats taken, but fortunately, there was no line, so I could place my order for a single shot of long espresso with a touch of hot milk to cut down the acidity. While waiting for my order, which was not for too long, I looked around and saw a mix of families with kids and people working on their laptops. My long espresso with a touch of hot milk was exactly what I needed. I washed it down with a cup of water and hit the road. read more

The items ordered were fine but they were acting like as if they were in such a rush when it was dead inside. They had an attitude and were not paying attention when I was ordering and of course they messed up my order. I was also struggling to scan my app and ofc they did not help also. I don't understand why they were acting so rude. Ambiance was bad. Food was fine. read more

Mia and Dasun were great. I apologize on the spelling of his name. They were friendly, welcoming, smiling , and had great customer service. I felt bad there manager never cracked a smile and looked pissed/ mad the whole time. I would return here to have great service with these two. Mia made my drink PERFECT! read more

No frills Starbucks. I'm surprised it's listed as a "reserve", because although they have a few special beans at hand, the baristas actually had no idea about them since they said no one really ordered them. The inside is also quite simple unlike the other Reserve locations I've been to. Very minimal seating and it's out in the open so may be a bit difficult to grab a spot during popular times. read more

Blocked off window sill seating area despite having great sunlight, the only covid friendly area with fresh air in the whole venue. It's odd they have unused space that patrons could actually sit at, making Peet's next door a better option for in person dining. read more

Clean location, courteous staff, fast service, only one bathroom but no code required.

Great place to get a coffee. Came here on a Tuesday. Clean and well stocked. The employee who helped me - think she was a manager or shift lead - was really nice. Anna? Andrea? Don't remember. The bathrooms were clean. Not sure about parking, we walked to the cafe. Not too many seating options, but it is one of the fancier Starbucks. Bought a latte to go. read more

Starbucks - the inside of a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I saw a female employee there today screaming at an elderly client because the elderly client said she asked for a frappuccino instead of a cappuccino. Even after the kind male barista said he'd handle it, the female barista came back and continued screaming at the old lady saying "you said cappuccino!" The most unhinged barista I've ever seen. read more

Went in trying to use the restroom but noticed it was customers only so I ordered a small matcha. I was expecting a warm flop matcha but the matcha I got was AMAZING! The barista who made my matcha was very nice and welcoming and made one of the best matchas I've ever had, I was VERY impressed! YUM SWEET FOAMY DELISH! The restroom was a little dark and messy but the drink was fire. read more

Incredible Rude Staff taking their own sweet time to make the beverages. Rude after delivering the beverage as well. I told them that I would not be back. Peet's is just half block away and has better coffee anyway. read more

It was 4pm so I ordered a decaf drip coffee. I was sitting right in front of the brewing machine so I was able to see how the barista made the decaf. He first filled some hot water into the cup, then topped it with the regular pike coffee. Except that coffee container is decaf with a pike name on it, I was definitely super charged with caffeine late in the afternoon. read more

I like coming to starbucks reserve places when given the chance. It's been awhile since I've come back here and I always remember liked coming here before covid and today even during covid, this store surprised me how low of a rating this place has on yelp. My visit today to this Store is clean, organized and had a semi fancy feel compared to other Starbucks locations are. Everything is clearly marked 6ft across with arrows and all of where to stand and order. I did a mobile order for my visit today but I can see the 3 ladies this morning hustling trying to get as much and as quickly out as possible while still being courteous to guests and super clean with prepping/delivering. They were all relatively not stressed and calm with tons of people in a rush to pick up. It was surprising really quiet despite having 10 or so people waiting. When In the area, come check it out! My reserve latte was delicious! read more

Starbucks reserve? What a joke. This is the equivalent of a Walmart reserve. They may pour the coffee into a fancier cup, but it's still just low quality Starbucks trash beans. No matter what cup they use it still tastes like it has been filtered through a diaper. Worst part about this location are all the Marina bros. Tech bros flock to this location to get hyped up on caffeine before hitting the gym. One of the worst Starbucks locations I've ever been to. read more

Running an errand in the Marina, I noticed a cavernous and newly constructed store entrance on Chestnut Street, not a norm in this old time neighborhood. Curious, I peaked in and noticed the name... Starbucks Reserve?! Is this a competitor or what?! Upon walking in, despite not being an avid coffee drinker, I studied their menu and ordered a dark chocolate strato as it sounded like gourmet and frozen hot chocolate to me. While waiting, I couldn't help but to admire how nicely the design and layout was for this upscale literal coffee bar... yes, there was a bar counter with seating in addition to comfortably spaced tables which were apt for more intimate or private conversations. Because I was merely shopping in the area and this was an unplanned stop, I took my drink with me and enjoyed it as I drove back to the office. This was definitely not hot chocolate as the expresso was definitely the dominant flavor. It was good, but certainly different from my expectations and likely not fully appreciated with my novice taste buds coffee wise. Not sure if I'd return, but it is certainly a nice stop for those who appreciate coffee. read more

I used to stop by here years ago for a White Chocolate Mocha to get a kick of caffeine. Nowadays, this place has been remodeled.

I'm surprised by the relatively low ratings. This Starbucks Reserve boasts a chic and industrial interior that appears to be frequented by bros and baby mamas, as typical of the Marina. No but seriously--this isn't your typical Starbucks. The space is gorgeous, inviting, and economically designed so that seating is maximized. You also won't find your typical Starbucks drinks here, which can be a double edged sword and may explain the polarizing reviews. For instance, they don't serve Frappuccinos. But if you're craving a dark chocolate mocha made with almondmilk and nitrogen-infused cold brew, then you're in luck and can order the Nitro Mole Mocha! As for me, I'm a huge fan of the Dirty Chai Nitro--enough where I feel comfortable giving this Starbucks Reserve 4 stars without having tried everything that's exclusively on their menu quite yet (the Bicerin is next on my list!). read more

This review is just for the decor. I happened to pass Starbucks in the Marina on Monday and I gotta say that my head whipped around really fast before stepping into the shop. What caught my eye was the revamped look; all that Starbucks green is gone and now it's wood, concrete, stainless steel and faux (?) brown leather. I was amazed and I guess I haven't been in the area for awhile during the transformation. The place makes me think of Milan, Italy and Italian minimalism. I like the look. This change makes me recall how Peet's in the Marina revamped their store (which is just a short distance from this Starbucks location). Similarly, Peet's created the most beautiful space with plants, wall art, skylight and concrete. Their Marina location is in the top two of sales in San Francisco (told to me by a Peet's barista). Guess those Marina folks seriously quaff coffee! Anyways, there was a crowd ordering at this Starbucks Reserve shop and I gotta say that there are definitely issues with space. It's too tight inside this store when crowded. Impatient, I left without ordering a beverage or food. At heart, I'm a Peet's girl. read more

Typical Starbucks. No reserves special menu bc of covid. Thought it would be like seattle. Glad didn't come especially for the reserves menu. Food: typical Starbucks Ambiance: Grab and go bc of covid. No indoor or outdoor seating read more

I must live under a rock, because I didn't know there was a difference between Starbucks and the one that has a Star over the R (Starbucks Reserve). I honestly thought it was just Starbucks making it fancy looking. And fancy it is. (Seriously) When I walked in, I was surprised by the look of it. It was clean and sleek. Great place to sit down with a client. The cold brew, however, only had two sizes, tall and grande but it came in a cute plastic cup and also cost more. A grande cold brew cost me $4. (And that's with nothing in it) It was good though. I asked for a splash of heavy cream after. The female barista was really nice. The cashier was cool. The menu is different. Not your typical Starbucks. read more

Hello when you're paying so much for your drink you want it full to the top.. And the refrigerator wasn't working. They had no breakfast food out, Which wouldn't have been bad but it took so long for them to run to the back to get my yogurt with fruit and granola. And hello we all have to work! read more

While this is listed as a "Starbucks Reserve," it is not anything special from your local Starbucks. The location is very busy with limited seating--about ten tables. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable, as well as very quick in their order time. It took us about eight minutes from order to get our coffee. The line was about ten deep from the the register, taking about ten minutes to get to the register. The coffees were like anything you'd get from your local Starbucks, and it was underwhelming carrying the "reserve" label on the location. read more

More of a fancier Starbucks. Their menu are slightly different from your traditional regular Starbucks. So you are not able to get your frappuccino at this location. Their concept is almost like Phillz coffee since most of their drinks, they brew it fresh. their drinks and food are decent. Price are decent. The look inside looks a lot nicer than your typical Starbucks read more

This is a popular location, so the lines during peak times can be long. The staff is very efficient and kind.

Pretty remodel. A little disappointed with the drink options. Loved their location in Seattle with an expansive and fun menu. I'm hoping they add some more drink options soon. Heads up they don't have mobile order at this time. Tried the nitro latte, it was okay. It's not worth the $6 for a medium cup. Will probably wait a while before I return to this store. read more

Very nice Starbucks than what I'm use to. This Starbucks was quite big inside. There's a barstool area for anyone that wants a street view although the Apple Store's lighting sort of kills the atmosphere of Chestnut Street. Outlet are available for laptop/phone charging throughout the store. The service area has enough room for ordering, merchandise, and standing room. A male and female bathroom is located towards the back. Tables and chases are in the back with I suppose an electric fireplace in the back for long hours. This Starbucks isn't 24hrs so be sure to find one nearby if needed. The Pumpkin spice latte was good as well as the White Chocolate mocha Grande but it cramped my stomach halfway through finishing it. read more

I ran into this Starbucks when I was in Marina and in desperate need of Caffeine. This place was a pleasant surprise! I love the long stretch of bar seating, and most of the table seatings are also arranged facing the bar. The interior has a modern yet retro vibe, possibly due to the use of wood in its decor. And most importantly it has Whiskey barrel aged cold brew. Apparently, as I was told, this is one of the two Starbucks in the Bay Area that have this drink. When I was there yesterday, the tables and chairs needed some tidying up. But I don't fault the people working there- they were getting slammed by the continuous coffee drinkers streaming into the store. read more

This is your basic Starbucks. Super convenient to where I live and love how I can use the Starbucks app to pre-order; it's always ready when I arrive. The employees are nice and there are seats that look outside so at least if you have to work, you get a little sunshine and people watching down. It's definitely an outdated Starbucks and definitely could use some exterior work to make it nicer but it gets the job done. read more
