Arsha T.

I got an Iced Matcha Latte with Brown Sugar Syrup, and the staff were super nice. They even drew a smiley on my cup! Everyone was being greeted with a cheerful "have a good day," which honestly makes the visit feel better. I also redeemed my points for a Starbucks cup, and the staff explained the whole thing really well. Even though there were plenty of people inside, it still felt quiet and relaxed--not chaotic at all. There's tons of parking, including pickup-only spots, and outdoor seating too, so you can sip your coffee while enjoying the Santa Clara Square vibes. It's right next to Chipotle and other restaurants, so the location is really convenient. You can also walk around outside--it's pretty chill.

So nice and big inside!

I love this location so much. So big and nice with plenty of seating!!! The baristas are always efficient, making the drinks fast! My usual cold brew & cream hits every time. Santa Clara square location is such a nice area, always feel relaxed coming here!

Chocolate oat milk and coffee
Ashley V.

Not sure why this Starbs only has 3 stars. My partner and I come here often and they are always pretty consistent. I don't drink coffee, so my go to is a hot chocolate oat milk or flavored cold oat milk. We usually do mobile order and it is convenient. Service is friendly and love that they went back to writing cute notes on cups. There is plenty of seating and if you want to stay and hang you can use glassware. Seating outside too for you and your pup!

Remodeled inside

I love coming here to get some work done. The staff is always friendly. They recently remodeled and it looks great and modern. It does get a bit cold inside so bring a sweatshirt or jacket. Also the internet is functional but not very fast.

Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino
Anabelle H.

Big location with lots of seating available so that you can get some studying/work done. I ordered my drink through the app and it was ready as soon as I got there. - Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino (5/5): I am not a huge fan of coffee but I do enjoy a frappuccino every once in a while. This flavor is on the sweeter side, which masks the coffee taste LOL but I really like it. If you're not a big sweet tooth, this might not be the drink for you. But if you're a chocolate lover, I say give this one a shot. I got a tall, which was $5.95 (a little pricey but I wanted to treat myself today) Parking was a bit difficult because the plaza was super crowded. I had to circle around for 15 minutes to finally snag a spot. I sat in the store for quite a while getting some work done and I don't know if it was the smell of coffee or the fact that everyone else around me was also working, but my productivity level was through the roof. They have outlets available through the store so you can charge your devices while working.

I love it! There's a Starbucks under my condo, and I go there almost every day. I just moved into this condo. The store is clean and the staff are very friendly.

Super nice Starbucks in the middle of Santa Clara square. It is spacious and modern. You can find a perfect table for working, meeting with friends, sitting by the window. The staff is super friendly and cheerful. As soon as you walk in, you feel the Christmas vibe in here. I tried Flat White using 50%off discount and enjoyed it very much! Street parking is available if you're lucky. There is also a garage parking next to the Square, where you can park for 2 hours for free.

Brownie
Calvin C.

Not too sure why this place has a low star rating, but I was able to come in around 12:30pm and the service was very efficient and everyone was friendly. The interior is very nice in terms of atmosphere and overall comfort, definitely a good place to study and enjoy a drink or snack. The drinks were delicious and the brownie was tasty. Overall a good Starbucks experience.

Rose L.

Had a great experience at this Starbucks! It took 5 minutes to grab my drink and it was great! I always try to get extra ice in my drink but unfortunately, it looks like the app took that option off, but the frappuccino was delicious and it was great! The inside was clean and spacious though there was some sun coming through that was blinding. However, it's very conveniently located and it was a very pleasant experience.

My puppaccino Santa girl
Harmanjeet K.

My large cuppaccino was very good and hot as requested and everyone working here was very sweet towards my pup. My pupper also got herself a pup cup or a puppaccino and she thoroughly enjoyed it. I live close by so walking to this starbucks is convenient. The cafe is in great surroundings and a few tables are also set outdoors. The only feedback I think I must give is that the quantity of my large cuppaccino was way too less. I know cuppaccino has frothed milk but my cup was extremely light in weight. I might try their latte next and see how full my cup is.

Stuart R.

This by far is the best Starbucks location to visit ... biggest store ... most tables and chairs, clean, good free parking, and most of all a GREAT TEAM of baristas! These folks work as a team to deliver a great experience each time. No question - No doubt it begins with great coffee - but mix into this great PEOPLE. Led by a strong personable manager and led by terrific shift leads and baristas, this is MY GO TO PLACE! Especially given the stress of everyday life.

It's Starbucks so you know what you get, but this one takes forever. Like twenty plus minutes when the app says it will be ten.

Am I getting too old? The ambiance has changed since my last visit. They took out the open book case separating half the cafe so it wasn't just open space. The long table was there and same with the bench seat against the wall but it just doesn't seem as cozy and cool as before. They moved the rack for used dishes by the door. The menu board is very white. It's a place you go with someone you're familiar with not someone you want to date or impress.

He's always rude to me as a customer, and the employees look stressed when he's present / aren't friendly like usual. One time I forgot the restroom code and threw out my receipt already (same code is always printed on the bottom). I asked one of the baristas for the code, and the owner swooped over and scolded me for losing my receipt. He then told the barista that she can't give me the code unless she checks the transaction history on their computer to verify that I was a customer. Never mind that my boyfriend and I were dining in and clearly had food and coffee at the table that I just walked away from, or that the barista just gave us our order minutes prior- such a weird way to treat your regular customers. It's embarrassing that I kept going back after that. I like how their coffee tastes though, and especially that I order for here and get it in a "big mug." It's literally the only reason I pick this place over other coffee shops. Today I received my overpriced coffee (~$9 each!) in cheap paper cups and mentioned that I ordered for here. The owner immediately lied and said the mugs were only for regular sized coffees, not large size. I was literally here yesterday drinking a large coffee from a mug. He could have just said the mugs were dirty, or the dishwasher was broken. He said that after I pointed out the lie, ha. I would have still given 2/5 stars because the food and coffee are REALLY good despite how unpleasant the owner is, but they also recently changed their menu photos to AI slop. 0/5 if I could.

I went on a Thursday between 2-4 p.m. and really enjoyed the space…read more Ambiance: The space is beautiful and bright, with large windows and high ceilings. It was very quiet during my visit, and conversations were kept to a minimum, which made it easy to concentrate. Even though it's located right across from a Caltrain station, I couldn't hear the trains at all. Parking & Accessibility: Parking was a breeze for me. I parked in the garage in one of the guest-reserved spots, and there's also street parking available. Since it's directly across from a Caltrain station, it's also easily accessible by public transportation. Seating: The café is connected to a leasing office, so be mindful of where you sit. The leasing agents do monitor the area and make sure café customers stay within the designated Coffeebar seating area. Drinks & Service: I ordered a loose-leaf tea and asked for it iced. The staff was warm and friendly, and as they handed me my drink, they said, "I hope you enjoy the tea." I really appreciate little details like that--it made the service feel more thoughtful and welcoming. Overall, I would definitely come back, especially when I need a quiet space to focus and get some deep work done.

Only one tall seat; wish there were more tall seats which is healthier :(…read more What can I say I love CoffeeBar despite all the cons. Pros - nice and clean restroom, gives it an upscale vibe - They are nice enough to give you free refills when you have your own cup - Cal-train station is nearby WiFi SSID: "@Coffeebar Guest WiFi"

Personally feel like I'm living a fever dream where everyone loves this place and enjoys the coffee…read moreand I'm the lone Scrooge who hates it. I don't think their coffee is any good. At all. I've enjoyed a few of their specialty seasonal drinks but those have never become core menu items. I am talking some really great items like mango matcha's, strawberry matcha's, lavendar latte's etc that I have thoroughly enjoyed but their core menu is not something I ever want to order from. They have really great stuffed croissants but those are also seasonal! My office catered pastries from here once and I still think about the spinach and cheese croissant we had alll the time! I have never seen it in their case though. And while they are really great, ~$8 for a pastry is highway robbery. Parking here is very difficult and I think most people who come here live nearby enough to walk. You gotta hope to get lucky with some street parking as they have no designated parking areas. I've had several odd cashier interactions where I am met with blank stares and no dialogue as I order. Today took the cake, however. When I ordered, the cashier looked at me confused. I picked up their menu and pointed to the item one I wanted. The cashier had to come find me again after placing my order to confirm it again. They have a seasonal chai listed and 'can be made into a pumpkin chai by request.' There was confusion around it coming with a shot of espresso and because my stomach has been completely wrecked since I had it, I think the they must have put two shots into my drink. In the past 5 hours, I've used the restrooms 4 times and eventually projectile vomited. I don't drink coffee often and had this in ONE sitting. I realize this is a unique experience as I do not drink espresso often but wanted to share so you all understand how strong their coffee is and seeing as how its across SCU, it DOES make sense why so many people come here. Upset is the least of what I feel right now and can confidently share I will not be back. Shits fucked up. No pun intended

There's street parking (if you're willing to walk a few minutes). They also have parking behind the cafe though it's limited. I was pleasantly surprised. My sister and I went yesterday afternoon and there was no line. I asked for the staff member's recommendation who said that I try their banana matcha (what I ended up ordering). My sister ordered the guava matcha. Both drinks were soooo good! From what I read from reviews, it's really a hit or miss depending on the day. The banana matcha was absolutely delicious! You can still taste the matcha while having a hint of real banana. Definitely not some artificial banana flavoring. My sister isn't the biggest fan of guava and she enjoyed her matcha too! 10/10. There's lots of seating indoors and outdoors. It's also next to the Valleyfair mall.

Ain't y'all got work or something (I was coming home from the dentist). Luckily I found a spot after circling the lot one time, got my drinks, and was in and out within 15 minutes. I finally got to try the Melon Matcha, which was delicious! I recently had the King Jasmine Melon matcha from Heytea or something, and it just did not hit. I know these aren't identical drinks, but I've been craving something good with melon flavor, and this hit the spot. For the 2nd drink, I got one of our usual go-to's, the guava matcha. Pretty good overall. I've knocked on their prices before. Still steep and more than I'd like to pay for my matcha, but it IS good. Still, costs about $1.5-2+ more than other places in my experience.
