I always stop by here before going to the cemetery across the street to visit my dad. The staff is always nice here and the place is decently clean. Drinks are always made just right and so are the pastries (when warmed up). read more

Service is awesome They fun, detail and nicely Satisfied with my matcha latte as well read more

Their staff are amazing! We reached out to them for teacher appreciation day and they came in bigtime. Our last minute order was met with a no problem, we can make that happen. Its so nice when people listen and truly strive for excellent customer service. Thank you! read more

Been here for the first time with my daughter yesterday Oct. 9, 2025 around 1:00-2:00 pm The flavor at Starbucks remains consistent with what we usually experience at other locations, but my brief interactions with both baristas were truly memorable and very enjoyable. I believe the two baristas behind the counter are highly skilled at their work. Their exceptional customer service is something I won't forget. read more

Been going here for 3+ years now and it's one of the best Starbucks I've been too. Their service is really fast ! Staff is amazing as well! Shoutout to all the girlies who even remember my name and order when I come in! Always make me feel safe read more

I am going to as many Starbucks as I can in South San Jose and this one did not dissapoint! I got a Vanilla Iced shaken espresso w/ oatmilk and a bacon, gouda, egg sandwich to go with it. I thought that this was a fairly good meal for me. Not too oily and not to heavy for the sandwich I would definitely get this again, espresso and sandwich combo are my go to @ Sbux! Hit the spot! The service was good friendly and got the order right and the shaken espresso was just right not watery or diluted with too much vanilla. I try not to complain we have it pretty good here at the Plant! Enso forever! Lots of parking. Clean. Friendly. "Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there someday." ―A.A.

Starbucks - Vanilla toasted oat milk iced espresso w/ light ice bge sando! :()/ - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Worst service I've ever had at a Starbucks. The staff is extremely rude when you ask a simple question, they have no sense of great customer service at all. Location was messy and disorganized. Ordered an Americano so you can't really mess that up. read more

I went in for a quick coffee same typical type of drink and Jason the barista was very kind and allowed me to try something new I had never tried before. After years of ordering practically the same two drinks he helped me find something different. Brown sugar shaken espresso! Thank you! read more

I usually go here for bite sized hot breakfast (not very filling, but good enough) and of course, can't do without coffee, so I get a mocha as well. I noticed they had a new healthy option in the menu, kale & mushroom egg bites, that's what I'm trying next. The staff is very friendly. It gets pretty busy in the morning and afternoons, I go between 10 and 11. I also like this particular location cuz it's right by a small park, so you can grab your Coffee and just relax with your dog or kids by the park. And pretty much all of the restaurants are at a close proximity so you have a lot of options to choose from. Well I'm definitely coming back for the holiday drinks. read more

Starbucks - White chocolate mocha yes please! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

The coffee was good and has smooth taste. They have nice options and quality was great. The barista was friendly. The place was cool and well-managed. The pastries were well-baked and good breakfast meals. A bit pricey. read more

Restroom very dirty, in horrible condition. Trash all over the floor. And the floor is sticky.

The crew and I made a quick stop since we were in need of a pick-me-up. Our purchase was made through the mobile app and the order was ready within MINUTES!! No waiting around here!! Drinks were made well and I really appreciate the offering of curbside pick up. Pull up to whichever parking spot is available and alert the baristas of the designated number. 5 stars for delicious tasting drinks, speedy service, and pure convenience. read more

Probably the saddest. Dirtiest, rudest Starbucks in the Bay Area. No seating anymore so just a big vacant empty storefront. Workers still can't keep the bare tile clean. Filthy floors. Bathroom is in shambles. Needs a professional cleaning company if workers are to privileged to clean it. read more

the place is quiet spacious but too bad there is no electric connection so make sure your laptop and phone batteries are full. staffs are ok and quite attentive. try the new drink: frozen pineapple passion fruit lemonade and i will say is recommended during the summer but will say quite pricey... read more

Starbucks - frozen pineapple passion fruit lemonade... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

No electrical outlets available. Not a Starbucks you would want to come here to get work done, etc. Go look some place else. Seeing other previous recent reviews, it seems it's a way to get the unhoused to stop coming. It's very unfortunate that it's come to this. read more

This Starbucks at 9:30am on a Thursday is so dirty. Floors are stained, all tables are dirty or crumbs on tables and my friend said the bathroom was like a homeless person was living there. Only giving I extra stars as service was decent otherwise I'd give 2 stars. What happened to Starbucks since pandemic? read more

Five stars for service that is par excellence. I came here on a Tuesday at 1:45pm and this store was COVID prepared. Unfortunately, This location is allowing only 1 customer in the store at a time. Fortunately, for me there was no line and I was in and out easy-peazy. As soon as you walk in the door you have to stop where you are and take your order. There is no lobby or waiting area - only a 6x3 rectangle for you to place your order then head outside and wait under their cozy green umbrella from the rain. Service was fast and friendly; drinks were hot and tasted consistently well. I've been going to this location the past two years and this is my first time to review; This location has always provided a five-star service with five-star food and drinks; before and during the COVID days. Great Starbucks at a very busy location. This place won't let you down. read more

Coming in early in the morning while indecisive is a bit tough, but it was made 1000x better by the Starbucks baristas here who helped recommend me a drink! Shoutout to Charlize for recommending me an AMAZING drink. I don't know how she knew I was a fan of blonde shots + sweet cold foam but she whipped up the perfect, not too sweet drink!! The customer service here is incredible and thank you for making my day. COVID precautions were taken with the proper signage and social distancing measures were in place. An awesome location!!! read more

Starbucks - The recommended drink in question! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

One of my favorite Starbucks to go to! I love the workers here as they are so kind and dedicated in making my drinks right. When my drinks weren't right, they would go out of their way to redo it. Even on the busiest day, the baristas are always at it. ! read more

Dear Manager, I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with the service and facilities at your Starbucks location on Curtner & Monterey 175 Curtner ave, san jose ca 95125. During my recent visit this morning 03/22/24, I encountered multiple issues that significantly tarnished my experience. Firstly, I ordered a coffee, with extra shot of espresso expecting the quality and consistency that Starbucks is renowned for. However, upon receiving my drink, it was evident that it was not prepared to the standard I have come to expect. no extra espresso, The taste was off, and it lacked the usual richness and flavor that I associate with Starbucks coffee. This was a disappointing start to my visit. Furthermore, the state of the bathroom facilities was appalling. It was evident that the bathroom had not been adequately cleaned for quite some time. There were visible signs of dirt and grime, particularly around the sink area, which had accumulated to the extent that it was alarming. Such neglect of hygiene standards is completely unacceptable, especially for a reputable establishment like Starbucks. As a loyal customer of Starbucks, I value the brand for its commitment to quality and cleanliness. However, my recent experience has left me deeply disappointed and questioning whether I can continue to support your establishment. The lack of attention to detail in both the preparation of my coffee and the maintenance of the facilities has greatly diminished the prestige of the Starbucks name. I urge you to take immediate action to address these issues and ensure that such lapses in quality and hygiene do not occur again in the future. Customers should be able to expect nothing less than excellence when they visit Starbucks. I hope to see significant improvements during my next visit, as I would like to continue enjoying the products and services that Starbucks has to offer. Sincerely, un happy customer read more

Went into this Starbucks to get an iced chai and meet with a fellow video game developer. The people working behind the counter were so bubbly & engaging that it amplified positive mood in my day. This is the second starbucks ive gone to in a month where Ive experienced a super positive post-pandemic social experience with the actual employees. It made my iced chai taste that much better. Be sure when you come to this location that you say hi to Brandon and Aisha. This was just the kind of social interaction I needed after being cooped up for the past year. They were super accomodating! Thanks guys! read more

I truly like this place, been coming here for years but please you must try to stop some people who being their pets inside. I'm a dogs owner and there is a place for them but inside of your store is not a place for them. I am sure many of the dogs I saw are not service dogs. Many of the dogs are not clean and I can smell them. it just not nice for many of us come here trying to do our business, driving, eating. This Starbucks location got to be once of filthy place. I am sure there is restaurant code you must follow but I must say that employees are nice and kind and maybe that is the issue, they just don't know when to say no. read more

Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2016 07/27/16 This Starbucks location is found in The Plant Shopping Center right next door to Johnny Garlics. The inside of the coffee shop is clean. Came here today and the service was actually faster than normal. Usually, the service is slow but the good thing is the drinks are almost always made correctly. Parking in this area is kind of tough since there are limited parking spaces in this part of The Plant Shopping Center. If you can't wait go to Target as they have a Starbucks inside. Come here early to avoid the crowds. Noelle's Notes Friendly customer service Sometimes extremely slow on the coffee orders read more

This Starbucks improved a lot. My coffee that I usually order tasted better and more consistent (not too bland nor too much flavor). The place gets busy in the morning especially around 9am...SJ cops inside this Starbucks they get their morning coffee break here. My only complaint is a male cashier staff who probably needs a coffee coz he is always serious and will not even smile..is he new? This is my go to place right now for the summer coz it's pretty close to work. read more

The worst Starbucks in terms of service. The cashier was chit chatting with the previous customer who was done with paying. Saw me waiting for 5 min and still kept chatting. Total disregard for customers waiting in line to order. Upon completing my order which was a simple ice coffee. She made me wait while she cleaned the bar and counter before finally making my drinks. Horrible customer service. Had experienced previous inefficiencies with this sbux too. Will not be returning. I recommend others to go to other locations. read more

Came to this Starbucks to pick up coffee for my boss. Was short $0.85, how humiliating. The very nice cashier, Cindy, told me not to worry about it. How great is that? I have been in this location a few times and she is always super friendly and nice. Even though this location is in the Plant shopping center, I never seem to have trouble getting parking close-by. read more

If you want to sit around homeless, and all the S**t they carry infested with who knows what and touch the nasty tables and chairs they rouch with unwashed hands and again who knows what on their hands and bodies, and use the bathrooms they all use while the other bathroom is reseeved for the employees only because they don't want to use the same but okay if we the customer use it, then come on to this startbucks. Hopefully tou get a seat feom all the homeless sitting around who's ordered waters. read more

In comparison to other Starbucks this one has to get it together. On a non rush hour I waited 30 min for a COLD BREW, that drink is on tap at Starbucks. The staff didn't not check in at any point and when I asked him on why it taking so long he had a look like why am I asking, it will come when it comes. Meanwhile at least 5 groups of people have orders after me and received before me. Overall horrible experience. read more

Came here during lunch time and it was crowded. However, the line moved pretty quickly. I normally order a Strawberry Green Tea Lemonade, however at this location it was just okay. Something about the drink was off. I can tell since I drink this drink a lot. Other than that, staff was friendly. I do like this place and will come back if I am in the area. read more

Victoria And Bryan were really awesome and cool, great service and will definitely come back again.

Love coming here! I would always go before work. Tuan and Liz are amazing staff and I am always excited to see them. They are also very sweet and do not hesitate to help me make my drink a little sweeter! (Plus they kinda knew I was more on the shy side and offered a straw before I even asked. :) ) read more

It's the second time I come to this Starbucks and both times the baristas are super rude! The cashiers usually nice but when it comes to the ppl making the drinks they call your name once and move on to what their doing. I stood there for about 2-3 min let him finish making the next drink and he continues to ignore me until I said something I asked for a straw he grabbed it put on the counter and went about his business and said nothing. A simple have a good day will make any ones day! I've worked in the restaurant business and customer service is the number one thing! read more

What happened to this Starbucks? Among many things going wrong, the restroom situation is unacceptable! This Starbucks used to have 2 restrooms each with keypads for customers. Now they leave one restroom open for anyone to use (customers, non customers and the homeless) and one is a key-coded for "employees only". I came yesterday and the restroom was gross. I didn't say anything thinking it was a one time thing. However coming today calls for a review. While I was waiting for the "customer restroom" an employee came out of the one on the left and I asked her to hold the door and she said "oh I'm sorry this is for employees only". So I waited for the other one to open up as I did yesterday. After waiting another 5 minutes, I entered a disgusting bathroom!!! I walked out and I didn't even want to grab my drink because I completely lost my appetite. It was unsanitary, smelled, pee and everything else on the floor, no paper towels and watered down soap! Keep in mind this was only 9 AM. So now being two days in a row I'm assuming this is standard sanitary situation at this Starbucks. Also I should mention my drink yesterday wasn't even properly made....a splash of cream doesn't mean a little coffee with my cream, which is what I got. I hope this Starbucks gets their act together. I personally won't be coming back. Plenty of other coffee places to go that value their customers and their entire experience. The fact that these employees and MANAGERS are so well aware of the bathroom situation that they hold one for just themselves just gets to me! It's so wrong. Starbucks as an entire brand is just not what it used to be. read more

Located in a humongous shopping center that is just like any other suburbia shopping center with stores and chain restaurants; even though this was in San Jose (near old Tully Road side away from 101 toward Guadalupe Pkwy/Hwy 87). This Starbucks does its job. Lots of seating. Lots of electric outlets if you need to quickly recharge your laptop. read more

We came here yesterday (9/19/14) to do the Happy Hour Special where you buy one "fall" drink and get one free as long as you buy between 2pm-6pm. This location is quite spacious with its high ceilings and big seating area. There's also a nice outdoor patio with chairs and tables so that you can relax outside while sipping on your coffee. I made a beeline to the bathroom while a friend ordered the drinks. As soon as I got out, our drinks were ready. Easy peezy. I had the Oprah Chai latte with soy milk and it was dee-lish, just as I expected. We didn't get to spend any time in here since we were on our way to the Linkin Park Concert but it's a location that I wouldn't mind coming back to if I'm ever at The Plant again. read more

Oh yes, the drinks are made the same. The seating is different and somehow similar BUT my Starbucks experience here was absolutely awful. My family and I decide to come here while we waited for our queue at the next door restaurant. We order drinks and I use my card to pay for the 3 of my teenagers' drinks and this boy behind the counter starts giving me a sermon about how to speed up my order since the line is long (like 5 people behind me). You know what, Don, you're the supervisor and if the line is too long at your store, if it's slow it means YOU aren't able to hold up your crew. It's not how the customers are ordering but it's HOW YOU take orders and how organized your crew is. Capisce? One of these days you are working and there's a hoard of crowd to come in, you cannot be giving a litany of your "protocols" so you can speed up how the line moves. You just lost my next visit and you just costed your store a good review. Now grow up and get another job. Your management skills are zap and your social orientation makes this establishment look like the coffee is made of dirt. read more

Starbucks - Yes, this store ! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

So. When I call ahead, after already going through one refund 15 minutes before and I ask if you have Coconut milk in stock and you say yes. I assume when I get there, you'll have it. Not that I'll have to go through my second return of a drink in less than an hour because you can't "use" the Coconut milk you have. Not that I'll have wasted 20 minutes of my time driving out to this location. So. Will I be returning to this location? No. What I did do is call and complain to Starbucks that it seems like... and I may be wrong, it seems like people who have milk allergies and soy intolerances are not as important to Starbucks. Because back when I took the milk hit - NO Starbucks, and I mean, NONE, ever ran out of milk. And this is the 5th Starbucks this month to "not carry/have/use" Coconut milk. In fact, it turns out Starbucks headquarters only allows each location to order two cases a week, it's not considered part of their milk order. So Starbucks, if you're going to tout you now have Coconut milk... perhaps actually have it? Whaddya think hmmm? Good plan? read more
