Staff: The team here was really nice. Unfortunately, I didn't get their names. They were very patient and friendly when I was trying to get my order correct. Quality: This is a nice location that is a decent size, clean, has a few spots to sit outside, and made one darn good Carmel Ribbon Crunch.

This is for recipt order # 735603. Nicest Barista I have encountered. I noticed there were other coffee shops and almost went elsewhere but I'm glad I stopped by this Starbucks. I asked if the berry matcha had berry foam or just berry in the drink. I was told it was foam. So I instead asked for regular matcha with oatmilk. The barista then asked if I didn't want the cold foam because of the dairy. I said yes. I'm always shy about expressing that I can't digest dairy and making my drink too complicated. The barista told me they could make the coldfoam non dairy and made me feel comfortable about ordering it. I immediately changed my order. He even welcomed I come back for non dairy foam if any other location gave me a hard time. I pass by this Starbucks on my way to LA so I'll definitely be making this stop. I appreciate the kindness. I also appreciate how he quickly caught on. Thanks again for my vegan matcha! read more

This place has always been busy - like for decades. They used to be across the street - but they have their own building - complete with a drive-thru. This is my 'Go To' Starbucks off of the 101 because it has a large parking lot, indoor, & outdoor seating. I've never had any issues with the staff - the drive-thru is hectic but at least they keep the lines inside moving. Today was no different - everyone here is hustling hard to fill orders. read more

The worst Starbucks ever. Try an online order for a regular coffee when you're in a rush. For most Starbucks you'll zip right in (or they'll bring it out to your car) and pick your coffee up off the shelf, made perfectly to order, but at this one you'll stand there and wait 20 minutes AFTER 20 minutes of driving. Then they'll look at you like you're a Karen for asking if your coffee is in the works. Place is not worth it. Go to any other location. read more

This place is the worst Starbucks location i have ever visited. The floor was dirty with pieces of paper throughout the indoor seating location. There were employees working at the time 11:00am. There was a line which is normal for a Starbucks which I'm ok with. When I get to place my order i pay and my name is not asked for my order. I ask the cashier Ellie if she needs my name for the order and she says no, that she will call it out by the the type of order. So i wait and i start to hear them calling out different names for various orders, and a mixture of only the type of drinks that is being served. (so you don't need my name but clearly names are being used?). The area where the drinks are picked up is a mess to say the least. For the orders that have no names various people have to walk up and touch multiple drinks and read what it says to make sure it's their order. Might i add this is during COVID! Some people even reach and grab a drink and take it and bring it back. All the mean while the employees are chitchatting and not paying attention to what is going on. I finally get my order which is called out by type of drink which is a Brown Sugar Oatmilk w/ 1 extra shot. (which i have ordered multiple times at other locations). I taste it and it has no brown sugar. Doesn't even taste how it supposed to. At this point i have waited and seen what type of poor quality service this location provides and i decide to leave it at that and write this review. This is hands down not what Starbucks represents, it is very sad that customer service has gone down. read more

We got our choice of tea (we chose Belgian chocolate + strawberries and silk) I would say the Belgian chocolate tea was sweet and delicious. The strawberries and silk was refreshing but still warm, sweet and enjoyable. Our server Noel was very patient, kind and helpful explaining to us how tea time works. The scones with butters and jam were great, I'd come back for those alone with the tea too! Our soups were good, plenty of options to choose from. We'd come back for a special occasion, wonderful spot to go! Outdoor seating is beautiful on a nice day.

What a beautiful place to enjoy meal and then some. Campesino is an outdoor farm-to-table…read morerestaurant located at The Ecology Center in San Juan Capistrano, California. All the ingredients are grown on the farm and also sourced from other local farms. You order in front and then find your spot. The set up has a rustic charm that makes one feel you are in a truly special place - a regenerative farm that is mission-driven and both for and by community. Now for the food... it was so fresh and delicious. I loved how there was just a glass water bottle on the table so you could serve your self. The subtle flavors of each dish allowed the ingredients to shine. So I had fresh-baked pastries that weren't too sweet (and some were even gluten-free!), a unique salad brassica and grains, a tasty tostada named Huevos Campesino Peace Bean Tostada, and a simple farm fruit and granola bowl. The whole experience was delightful and as they have a seasonal menu, I can't wait to go back and try new things. After lunch, I walked around to see people working on the farm, a Peace Dome where I've read they have events, retired chickens Luna and Henny Penny, and of course the farm stand.

I ordered the matcha latte hot and it reminded me of the matcha in Japan. It's not sweet at all. The milk options included almond and oat milk, but they did not have soy milk, which is what I normally order with matcha. They also had multiple persimmon flavored pastries. My husband and I ordered a cookie to share. I had never had tahini in a cookie before. It had a nutty, kinda peanut butter cookie vibe, but not as good. I'm glad I tried it though. Service is fast casual and we got our food pretty quick, and then our drinks came out a little after the food. We ended up walking around the farm grounds with our drinks after we finished our breakfast

I'll be honest, I was waiting in line for BBQ across the street and my wife got some Baklava…read moreCroissant with Pistachio from this spot for us. Maybe it was the heat or just wanting to eat something but it was amazing! The texture of the pastry was really unique and the pistachio inside was delicious. I really enjoyed eating it and was impressed by the quality and flavor.

This little bakery is always out of stuff by the time I get there but I was early this time…read more However most everything was chocolate which isn't my first pick. They had a lemon blueberry sourdough muffin so I got 1 to try. When I had it the next day for breakfast, I was pleasantly surprised by how many blueberries were in the muffin itself. I've had muffins before where the blueberries were only on top for looks. This one had it throughout. The muffin also was not too sweet at all. I really enjoyed it. Would but again! SYOY!
