    I like the ambiance and how spacious the place is, barista's are friendly. The drinks taste good as well.

    Love the service here. Everyone is so attentive and nice. The place is small with little seating but, there are plenty of seats outside. I love my coffee milky and there is only one employee here who always makes my drinks on point.

    That moment when a person wonders if it's worth the cost... I'm referring to walking into this Bay Area Starbucks, and having the worst experience. The seating is limited, and what is available is not only dirty, but uncomfortable. I ordered a venti strawberry açaí lemonade, and the gentleman at the counter acted like he didn't know what I was talking about. When he finally understood after showed him on the app, his response was, "I've never had that" okay, then. I smiled and suggested that he try it. He replied with "I would never drink that". What does anyone say to that ?!? While I waited for my drink, I went over to the restrooms to wash my hands. There are two water closets, and the shared sink is outside of the two restrooms. The water closets were dirty. I'll leave it at that. The sinks were interesting. It's one large sink with faucets that dispense soap, water, and will dry your hands. Admittedly, that's pretty cool. My drink was ready, and the only way I knew, was to walk over to the counter that had piled up drink orders. No names being called to let customers know that their order is ready. My drink wasn't made correctly, and I politely mentioned it to the person at that counter. He stared at me like I had said something in another language. I requested the drink to be remade, and he refused. I asked for a straw, and he made some funny noise with his mouth, and pushed the straw across the counter to me. This is not a typical Starbucks experience, and this isn't a location that I will be returning to.

    Super Friendly staff and a warm welcome when you walk in the door. Sammy's smile and kindness changed all the challenges in my day that occurred before 10:30am. Thank you

    Big German Shepard inside store "not a service dog"
    Zaro K.

    We spend a lot of money at this Starbucks! It's close to where we live, the center is new & nice & it's a convenient location. This week on two separate occasions Sunday & Monday I saw the same lady with her dog going into the store. There is a clear sign that states service animals only! This dog is not a service animal however the woman put a puffer vest on the dog cause it was cold. It's a huge German shepherd by the way! So I think she put the vest on to make people think this is a service animal. It's very unsanitary to have a huge dog in a small space. She was sitting in the middle table with the dog under her feet. As someone with pet dander allergies I think it's unfair that people think they are above the rules! The employees need to kindly ask people to leave their pets outside! Also maybe not bring them to a coffee shop while your studying inside for hours at a time! Starbucks needs to handle this situation because it's getting out of control.

    First time coming here and the plaza is already nice but lonely but this Starbucks is in a good location for workers nearby and also very unique from the other Starbucks. To order you go through the door closest to the wall and you pick up your order at the other entrance near the parking area and they have a walk-in talkie to call your name when your order is ready which I thought was cool. I tried ordering thru the mobile app but their location didn't show up so many they aren't doing that at the moment. When I walked in I was greeted by the friendly workers. What makes this location different from the other locations is the menus are not on the wall which is okay if you know your Starbucks order by heart but for a new person probably not a good thing. Other than that I like the design they have going on, very simple and clean. They make your drinks fast so you don't have to wait long.

    First time going to this Starbucks. Went around 3pm to grab a pick me up and a late lunch. Staff was super friendly and while waiting for my order I enjoyed reading all the nice notes for staff and seeing the plant Felix

    Festive in the new store
    Corey N.

    As other reviews mentioned, this is a new store in a new location. My first visit was today. Wasn't sure how many people would be here but seems everyone knows. Busy for the three hours I have been here and the drinks keep flowing. Everyone seems happy. The expected festive colors and items are present. I am feeling a holiday spirit while working online this morning. Sizable outdoor seating for when the weather is good. Decent indoor seating with all 2-4 seating tables and chairs at the two sided bar. Thumbs up.

    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.

    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

I've seen people study or do work in there but it's not the most quiet place. Staff is always friendly to us when we're ordering drinks. We tried the Guava Matcha with Guava Cream, and this was easily a 10/10 for me. The li hing powder on top adds such a unique, slightly tangy flavor that makes the drink really stand out. This is the drink we always order whenever we visit this place. We also tried the Double Matcha Melon Matcha, which was good, but I still preferred the guava matcha. My husband likes the Melon Matcha better though. The Vietnamese Coffee was very strong for me and on the less-sweet side. The Pandan Latte wasn't really for us either. It wasn't very sweet, and we didn't get much pandan flavor. We've definitely had better pandan lattes elsewhere. The drinks aren't cheap, but I think they're worth trying, especially the guava matcha and double melon matcha. Lines can get pretty long on weekends, and parking is free but limited. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for the guava matcha!

    I've had Academic a few times already. This was my first time at this location. Parking was awful,…read moreeven for a Friday morning at 10AM.. 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.
