Again, I'm sending another review on this same business in my hometown san leandro, I've been coming here almost everyday. And I've always encounted something bad and something to say. the app tells me the drink is ready, I wait around 10 minutes and I don't get my drink then after another 5 I finally get my drink. Are you just trying to get me there early?! This place is always crowded. Never coming back. read more

Starbucks - This was not a carmel frap at all as you can see its mostly whip cream.not very good - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Leandro, California

Went to pick up a mobile order at this Starbucks, only to walk out and find my window smashed out and small backpack missing. I take the blame for leaving it on my floor on passenger side but I was in and out within 30 seconds this went down. I was told by an employee this has happened before. Great to know now. This was my go to for Starbucks but not anymore. It's not the employees fault, but it wouldn't hurt to have a sign saying " don't leave anything in car while picking up mobile order." This was at 6:22 am that this happened and not one car around when I got out of my car to pick my coffee up. Then I'm told to file a report online because the police didn't know when they would have a police officer come take a report. Like they are that busy at 6:22 am. read more

So our drinks were okay.. but it was so out of place. Overly unwelcoming. we felt like since we looked young they treated us as an inconvenience. All the workers just felt weird. I'm not coming here again. read more

This was a quick hit and run to pick up coffee for firefighters who had been battling a two-alarm fire. We pre-ordered and I drove over to pick up the order. We got three Coffee Travelers, two Pike's Peak and one decaf. Our order was ready when I arrived. I paid and was asked if I'd like some help out to my car. Yes, please. Great service and friendly staff. What more could one want? read more

My daughter is a San Leandro High School student. My daughter had visited this location with a friend, they then proceed to go into the store and ask nicely if they could use the bathroom, an old senior worker who shouldn't even be working anymore there the audacity to tell my sweet daughter and her friend that there is a policy to buy something to use the bathroom, my daughter has gotten the money from her friend and she buys the item for her friend and the old senior citizen worker says the WRONG bathroom code and has the audacity to stomp and march with her big self and stops my daughter and her friend from just wanting to use the bathroom. I personally don't think it is that serious because it quite frankly is just a bathroom we all have human needs and can't control our selves. Please do better on hiring. read more

joga the manager he keeps this place clean and happy place to be always kind welcoming customer service 10/10 we need more people like him in the organization read more

The staff is warm and welcoming even on crazy days when it's so busy . Out of 9 years I've been coming I've only had 3-4 bad experiences. The drinks can get messed up but they do honor my time there and offer to re make it for free . They're incredible gifted at their job . read more

This review is for date of service 5/10/2020 (Sunday) This particular Starbucks has been closed since the Covid stuff started and they FINALLY opened up for Mobile orders and walk up orders. I like how there are 2 separate lines for Mobile orders and walk up orders. It really helps expedite things and also keeps things organized in my opinion. I actually prefer things this way then the "old way" pre-covid LOL The other reviews "pre-covid" are pretty accurate, teen central ect... but because of the social distancing order in place and the fact that there is no school at the moment there is no teenagers hanging out and parking is rather easy to find. read more

I like this Starbucks they are fast every time I went. I tried their new Turkey Sage Danish today. I was really good but the cost for $5 was too much because it's small. It is worth trying! read more

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

Do not stop. Keep driving Asked for a decaf oat milk latte. Terrible. Had to drive to my regular Starbucks. Also ordered a pumpkin spice latte. And was filled 2/3 of the way. An unpleasant experience all the way around. read more

Coffee was not well made at all. Shots were DOA and bitter like the barista that made it. The cashier was super nice and toasted my croissant perfectly which merited a whole star for that experience. Sadly with all 6 of the baristas on shift during this not so busy 11am visit, the store was filthy. Trash was everywhere: straw wrappers and such were all around the bar area, baristas not washing their hands between texting at the bar, handing drinks to customers while cupping the caps. I tossed my lid as soon as I retrieved my drink. read more

I have to update this review. It's time. I need to let others know that this location has quickly become my favorite in San Leandro lately. This is during the 19 and the re-opening of the high school. That's saying a lot. I've been able to mobile order in the AM before dropping off my kid. By the time I pull up to the store, I walk right in and there is my order. Every. Single. Time. They are doing a wonderful job at keeping the location moving regardless of the short-staff and all the people that visit in the morning. Great job! read more

I always have a pleasant experience at this location. Even if the ball is dropped on their end, they're quick to rectify it. This store does get busy at times, so read the room. Remember, if you're running late or lack patience - it's not their fault. It's a coffee shop and sometimes they are slammed with orders, especially mobile orders. Overall, this location is quickly becoming my favorite :-) read more

Starbucks - My drink - Med Iced Oatmilk Latte w/ brown sugar syrup. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Leandro, California

I'm typically anti-Starbucks, being a self proclaimed coffee snob and all. But the recent launch of the Impossible Breakfast Sandwich had me as spry as my high school self speed walking for a frappuccino on lunch break. I didn't order coffee of course, and opted instead for an iced oat milk matcha latte. I should have ordered a venti for how quickly I slurped it up. Smooth, creamy, slightly sweet, with that lovely umami of matcha powder; I enjoyed my drink, albeit a bit too enthusiastically. The helpful cashier had to check sandwich inventory at 11am, I guess they had been selling out. With luck there were a few left. Within minutes I had my warm bread present in tow. The anticipation continued to build as the meaty scents wafted around my car.... I wanted to drive home and enjoy it. While I it didn't taste or feel exactly like I'd expect from a standard breakfast sausage, it was damn close. The seasoning was much like the seasoning for meat based breakfast sausages (maple/brown sugar, a hint of cloves, pepper, and spice). I didn't like the bread, which I'd call a mini breakfast ciabatta. But thought the sandwich was good enough to eat again. Great attention to covid cleanliness at this particular establishment, with marked waiting areas, hand sanitizer, and maximum capacity signs to enforce proper social distancing. read more

I always order in advance and I pick it up fairly quickly. I just park in front and run in. The staff is friendly. They practice social distancing. read more

Starbucks - Pumpkin cheesecake muffin - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Leandro, California

Dreadful experience at this location. Would suggest that you stay far away. I waited quite a long time despite me counting 6 employees in the store. People who ordered after me somehow got their drink first. When I finally did get my drink, it was wrong. So they had to make me a new one. I asked if I could just have the incorrect one anyway and the barista said his colleague was going to take it on her break. Really? Is that the policy? So I had to wait longer to get my drink. Both trash cans were overflowing with garbage. Again, 6 employees were working at the time. read more

Everyone is really nice, the service is great, the coffee is good, BUT this place is a hot mess by midday! There has to be staff who periodically pick up trash and wipe down the tables, right? Well, no. Enough said. read more

For some reason, today the staff wouldn't let me in to pick up my mobile order. I arrived around 5:03 and could see my drink sitting on the counter. I also chose indoor pickup as I've done for a few weeks. The baristas today made me get back into my car and go through the drive-through. When I asked why the app gave different instructions or why today was different from other days, she rudely said she didn't know anything about that. Such a terrible way to start a morning! There are much friendlier Starbucks locations nearby- avoid this location! read more

Starbucks isn't all the same. personel in each spot has their own character which makes for interesting people watching. wondering what attracts young students to starbucks? must be the sugary frappacinos brew: pike's place (m, 2.45) medium roast -smooth to the point of blandness, typical of starbuck beans: slightly smooth with no hints of boldness. -ok for people who dislike drama, perks. -me, i like boldness. next! drips: -service, good, cordial.. read more

Drinks here are terribly watered down/over sweetened. Was waiting for them to remake a shaken espresso that tasted like water but it's not worth the wait. Please save yourself some time and spend you money at other locations. I came here two days in a row, ordered a double espresso with vanilla foam in a tall cup. They put so much cream, the roof of my mouth was slick. Second day, I ordered 1/3 decaf shaken espresso, it tastes like cinnamon water with oat milk. Honestly, they need to retrain their staff. read more

How are there 7 people working and i still have to wait 20 minutes for my mobile order??? The whole point of a mobile order is to skip the line. It's a frustrating when people that order after you, leave before you. Never again. read more

Thieves!!! Health Hazard!! Causing harm to customers!! To save money to the store, employees here are willing to cause people to be sick. Ordered a number of drinks from here and some of our colleagues ended up having frequent diarhhea and other adverse negative side effects. It ruined our day! Turns out this place be taking people's money for what was ordered and turned around and used other more cost effective/cheaper ingredients instead thus not honoring what people actually ordered to save the store thus committed decieving transactional tactics thus committed theft of customers money and causing harm to people's health. Taking people's money and not delivering what was ordered = stealing customers' money! People should be cautionary when ordering from this place or any other Starbucks! We ordered our drinks to be made with almond milk and oat milk, but they still used cheaper regular diary milk as ingredient to make our drinks. Investigation required! Employees stealing from customers! Most of the people who work here are cool, but some have no shame in stealing from customers. Please be wary and be ready to take videos and pictures whenever you see employees holding up the cheap gallon of diary milk should you ordered drinks with oat milk or almond milk as some people are lactose intolerant. To save money, this place is willing to cause people to be sick. It sucks that people cannot order drinks from this place without ease of mind! Health authories may need to look into this place or have cases be reported to health authories. read more

These workers are so miserable these youngsters taking your concern so personal, the manager walks in and they all stop talking and looking intimidated, making your drink the worst way possible, throwing everything around, miserable and disrespectful human beings, don't work with the public if you hated it, got a refund but not the tip, horrible service read more

Wow talk about s cluster and no one even in the store but myself and 7 workers. They didn't have change for a $50, and then they didn't have utensils to eat any food! Then on top of it The barista continue to make 800 to go orders versus the one person in the stores order of an easy vanilla latte. Would not suggest to go to this location read more

Starbucks - All the to go orders to make before my one - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Leandro, California

Fast, friendly service and they always get my drink right. They never spell it correctly, but they get the order ready which is most important. Parking is a little tight here. Also, keep in mind there is a high school nearby so depending what time you come, it could be busy, noisy, and loud. Overall this is one of my favorite shops in San Leandro. read more

This location is so slow I was able to download yelp to my new phone, using data charges, and write this review. I am still waiting for my nitro cold brew which I'm pretty sure just literally needs to be poured. Don't come here if you're looking to just "grab a coffee". They will make sure you stay a long freaking while whether you like it or not. And no, ordering through the mobile app does NOT help. read more

Been coming here for years!!! Everyone is so friendly here,thank you Dan thank you Emma,I like her hair style!!!

Came in on a rainy day while the other Starbucks were PACKED, the ladies were very quick and friendly, drinks came out awesome. Great customer service, special thanks to Debbie for actually getting my name right haha! read more

Staff seems to be doing their best, but a half hour wait for a latte is ridiculous. I order ahead to avoid the wait, and you should expect a fifteen to twenty minute delay after their stated pickup time. On a good day. read more

Usually come in during my work hours to grab coffee for my coworkers and myself, and usually things are fine. I've not had a bad experience w/this Starbucks location until today. They are open during covid-19 now, with takeout and delivery, and you can also step in and order at the register. I normally take a walk across the street and will order in person. They do have an area for pick up, with a plastic shield between the barista and the customers. Drinks: -Really enjoyed my mango dragonfruit w/lemonade, first time ordering this drink. - The pumpkin spice latte (1 pump of pumpkin) was also really good, and it wasn't too sweet. Usually the drink comes with 2-3 pumps of pumpkin, but with just 1 pump it's not too sweet! Normally I have a pretty average experience, and I even had a great experience yesterday at the register with an employee with a "Rap" badge on his apron (or is it Kap? I couldn't really decipher the words) who went out of his way to help me get the stars on my app. For full disclosure I normally don't get Starbucks at all or drink coffee, so I just have the Starbucks app on my phone but have not used it much at all and am not super familiar with it's layout and how to collect stars. I asked the register after paying, if I could get the stars and instead of turning me away and saying that it was too late/I'd already paid/closed out the bill etc, he flagged down a lead to help him so he could void my bill and do it all over again so I could get the stars. He was SO kind, so patient and he even apologized saying it was his bad, rather than mine. Come today, Thursday, and I walk on over to Starbucks for my coworkers and I encountered the RUDEST bxtch of my life. Ana was at the register today and she literally acted like she hated her life and her job. She was so impatient, had customers repeating orders multiple times because she couldn't hear them, and her demeanor was so off putting and unfriendly. I asked about the stars again and asked if she could scan my stars but all she said was "you should've told me beforehand" "can't be done now"... but you can... it literally happened yesterday.. And for someone who doesn't frequent starbucks much, how am I supposed to know? HOW am I supposed to know to tell you?? When I was literally holding my phone in front of you the entire time with my Starbucks app open. And sure, the stars aren't that big of a deal, but the attitude that was attached to her statements was just ridiculous. I really wish I asked to speak with the manager LaBree, her customer facing employees should be better than that. For drinks, I made a huge order because I was ordering for my coworkers as well (~15 drinks). She was SO impatient when she was putting in the order, thank god I'd written the orders on a piece of paper so I wouldn't have to speak to her lol. Can't imagine what it would've been like if I had to yell my order through the plastic shield to her deaf ass. read more

I went here for a White Chocolate Venti Mocha and it was brewed to perfection . The Counter girls are perky and friendly.

Really disappointed with service at this location. I come to this one because it is close to home but I came in for a quick in and out because I had a 5pm apt to go to and it took 20 mins to get my order. It was not busy at all with 4 staff members behind the counter just talking and taking their time. I was in customer service before I really appreciate when employees do a great job and will let them know when they go above and beyond! This was not the case definitely room for improvement. read more

I've been coming to this Starbucks since it first opened. New faces come and go, never had a bad experience. Granted they do get very busy before/after school. La Brie the manager is the best. She has a great team working at the store. read more

Teen central. Teens working there teens every were you look. There is a high school next door. i would never come her at 3 pm during the week. too many kids! i know that makes me sound like i am saying "get off my lawn!" lol but it is really true about this location. even in the summer there are a ton of teens there. despite the crazy amount of youngsters this is still a great place to grab coffee or in my case chai tea. my drink was made well and made fast. just not a lot of places to sit. a ton of parking is always available. read more

This is the closest location from my house to my morning commute to work.. the staff is pretty exceptional except that little girl SUNNY! She is rude. She will look me dead in my face and NOT help me. She ignores customers and she's NEVER doing any work behind the counter! I don't know what her problem is but I spend a ton of money supporting Starbucks! I will not come back to this location as long as she is there! She doesn't like her job and it shows! read more

Love how close this is to businesses and the neighborhoods, but the drinks are inconsistent, to be honest. Some days I have a reeeeally good skinny cinnamon dolce latte, others it's too much milk added. Maybe they were in a rush? I have ordered either cold brew or iced coffee through the app and then when I get there to pick up my mobile order, they tell me that they are out and offer another drink to take it's place, which is great customer service but would love if they updated their location's stock status on the app. Also, BEWARE of afternoons between 2:30-6/7 pm on weeknights when school is in session! So many high school kids getting Frappuccinos and hanging out around the plaza. Makes for a parking mess and extra long wait time for your order--mobile or in-person. read more

Bad customer service. I payed for my drink, I was waiting for a long time. When I asked they ignored me and acted like I was crazy. Will not go back. read more

Do not go here between 7:30 and 8 on a school day unless you want to wait 10 minutes, even with mobile order, and be surrounded by 25+ high school kids. Dirty sidewalks outside. Generally slower than some of the other locations. read more
