I was an early bird today. I usually don't wake up early, but today was a bit different. The minute I opened my eyes, I was craving some decaf Lavender Latte with oat milk, Blueberry Muffin and their Birthday Cake pop. Got a great, warm welcome by all their baristas and James was the one who helped me with my order. He was very pleasant, knowledgeable with the menu, helpful and kind. Place was clean with lots of patio seating. They also have a great selection of pastries, coffees, gift cards, gifts, cups/mugs and let's not forget great sandwiches. I also got their Egg, Pesto, Mozzarella sandwich on Ciabatta bread. Everything tasted fresh, hot and DELICIOUS! I have been to this Starbucks before, but not in a very long time. Great music playing overhead and I SO enjoyed everything that I got on this visit! Was there in the morning at 9AM! Thank you Starbucks, James and management!! Way to go. Gender Neutral Restrooms and no parking. Find a spot and grab a seat! read more

Be aware this location consistently will water down all of your drinks , this Strawberry açaí refresher was basically water with a hint of the drink. I legitimately have never had a worse version of this drink; I almost wanted to go and replace it but it wasn't worth the trouble. This is the 3rd or 4th time I've gotten really watered down or gross tasting drinks at this location. Never again read more

Great atmosphere, beautifully decorated. People that work here are fast friendly. The only problem is the music is too loud.

This place is amazing. Service is wonderful. Best staff ever. So kind and wonderful, and they make my day!

Friendly but my drink is crap. Sorry wasn't even busy. And it's a cafe store??? Lmao. read more

Starbucks - This is supposed to be a venti iced shaken espresso with vanilla cold foam. No foam and not even filled. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Studio City, California

If you're going to draw smiley faces on cups as a fun little personal touch, great--go for it. It's a cute gesture that can brighten someone's day. But if you're only doing it for some customers and skipping others, it honestly just feels weird. What's the message here? Some people are smiley-worthy and the rest of us don't make the cut? It's a small thing, sure, but when you're standing there watching the person next to you get a cheerful face and you get nothing... yeah, it kind of sucks. It's not about needing a doodle on a cup--it's about consistency. Either make that friendly energy part of your vibe for everyone, or skip it altogether. Don't make your customers feel like they're on the wrong end of some random popularity contest. read more

Super fast preparation even though I ordered while I was down the street at Barnes and Noble. I was able to grab my drinks and check out some books all within 50 yards. Service was super fast and welcoming. Plenty of space to work or relax with multiple styles of seating for all types of groups. read more

This Starbucks used to be my go to location. It was once a Reserve store and maybe it is still the same but I don't see the difference between a regular store versus the Reserved. Back in the days my buddy used to be a partner at this location. Because of that this location was very familiar to me. Quick, easy and convenient are the best things I can say about it. There are times now days that I would create a mobile order and pick up after a hike at Fryman Canyon. It is easy to access, there are plenty of parking in the rear and very accessible to other stores in the local area. Recently I would tell people to meet me at this location for quick hang outs and I feel that the location is just centralized enough to have those meet ups. Parking: large private parking in the rear VERDICT: Rinse and repeat read more

Staff is very sweet, good seating, it's got that "distant echo of a starbucks reserve" kinda energy read more

Starbucks - smiling drinks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Studio City, California

I had a Starbucks gift card that's been in my possession since Christmas and with an hour to kill before my set Saturday morning appointment a block away, in addition to my hunger pangs sorta kickin' in, the timing couldn't be more perfect. Iced matcha green tea latte was a given, but to grub... what to grub... impossible breakfast sandwich it is! The wait was surprisingly short given the semi-crowd waiting for their stuff. I was also surprised they knew my name without me giving it! (That was kinda weird... was it the app? My debit card, maybe?) My drink was refreshing as I expected. My food came out really hot. I've had impossible burgers and meals before and man, they really figured out how to give this patty that meat taste and texture. It gave off that frozen-heated-in-a-microwave/warmer taste, but wasn't too bad. FOOD: 4. SERVICE: 5. Staff was friendly and swift. VALUE: 3. Ten and change for the drink and grub. It's the usual Starbucks pricing. PARKING: Street - I didn't see a lot behind the block. Meter rates at $1/hr, so it's not a big deal at all. OVERALL: 4. I'm not really a Starbucks fiend, but the experience here was above average. One plus for me is that they're dog friendly. Although all the ones I saw were quick ins-and-outs (just enough time for their masters to order and get their drinks) staff and customers alike didn't mind their presence. Good first run. Will most likely come through again given the chance. read more

Just wanted to give a great shout out to Riley, Ivan, Bota for AWESOME customer service! I spilled my whole drink all over the floor and immediately they came to my rescue to clean the huge mess with a smile AND made me another drink without me even asking - again with a smile and a great attitude!! Way to go, guys! It's my first time at this store and I'm definitely coming back! Thank you for all your kindness read more

A shout out to Neil, Jordan, and Mia - these baristas are all super nice and always smile and say hi. They're also quick, efficient, and make great drinks. When I'm down, this Starbucks cheers me up. Plus, I love Neil's braids! read more

Unbelievable! I frequent this store and today I went in to use the bathroom prior to meeting a friend for a coffee. They would not give me the bathroom code before purchasing a coffee first, I had to speak to the manager and even he treated me like I was a criminal. The worst service ever. What happened?! I used to love the people that worked there and this Starbucks. So disappointed. No wonder Starbucks is losing money. read more

One of the cleanest and well run at at bucks our family has ever been. Management has really done well. My friends always comment on how awesome this location is. You can even buy a homeless person a donut and coffee. read more

I stopped by this Starbucks since I was in the area across the street and my wife wanted her blonde Vanilla Latte. I parked across the street and walked over to this Starbucks because it's street parking if you don't want to park there. When I walked in, there was only 1 guest in front of me. I told the guy working the cashier my wife order with her customizations like light ice, 2 pumps of espresso and 4 pumps of sweetener. Everything seem right until I got the drink and look at the order label. It said light ice but the barista put medium amount of ice, he did the drink first and then put the ice to where the drink would look full. He also only put 1 pump of espresso, 1 pump of sweetener and give me the grande size instead of venti. My wife didn't enjoy her drink, saying it was too strong and I didn't want to ask them to redo the order so she just drank as much as she could. I don't come to this Starbuck location often since it's out of the way. read more

They hand me an undercooked cold chocolate croissant, when they used to heat them up in the oven crisped to perfection

This location is obviously busy and I'm not mad at that. I got good vibes upon entering and the staff working had a really good attitude towards their customers. My gripe is when they have mobile orders just sitting there and they don't call out people's names. When the starbucks app tells me my order will be ready at a certain time, I generally wait until close to that time to hop in to pick up. There were a ton of people waiting for their orders so I literally stood there for 5+ minutes while my order just sat there. Lame. read more

It's Starbucks. Newly remolded store. Pick up only, outdoor seating only. Street and lot parking are a challenge during prime time. Not the best area which I suspect prompted the change but the store is nice, the employees are always helpful and the coffee is good. read more

I came in this morning and within five minutes I witnessed three separate adults verbally abusing/yelling at staff for whatever reason.. Despite these people acting like children, the staff kept it cool, calm and professional. I really appreciate and admire this because if it were me, someone would definitely be getting a cup of milk to the face.. Oh and as I was leaving, a lady was loudly and obnoxiously saying something about how "nobody wants to work anymore". Without a hint of irony or self awareness. Great job Starbucks team. You are so valued. read more

Good spot, parking, staff, is polite & professional. Meets all Starbucks standards that we all expect.

came here for an undertow and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The two baristas working at the time were very sweet and kind and they helped me get my caffeine fix. loved the atmosphere so much that I decided to leave a resume. fingers crossed I hear back from you guys. love the entire energy of the store - Alex read more

Yes I did go to Starbucks. A nice place to sit and relax but the policy against smokers and people parking motorbikes or motorcycles on sidewalk in front of entrance needs to be enforced read more

Thank you Roni? (That's what the name tag says today) for your terrible service. . Yesterday I got an extra large laté. The barista was happy to make my drink. - TODAY I was made to look and sound like a fool in my local Studio City Starbucks location. Why was the manager more concerned with telling me I was wrong and making things up than serving a customer with a smile on their face. She was crotchety and clearly having a bad day as she greeted me with the most emotionless slanted face I have seen. The day barely started. I will be posting more of these today further detailing the situation. Didn't know people of color didn't receive the same service as my lighter skin counterparts. UPDATE: i come back and used my huge brain to tell them that I could have a large in an extra large cup with, get this, extra shots of espresso . Which basically made my late an extra large. Not hard to do your job. Do it well read more

I came into Starbucks on Sunday 8/4/24 and WOW, I was taken care of by the mayor of swoon city, Avy. Her service was impeccable, she was effusive and radiated kindness. She made me an iced honey citrus mint tea like it was a cortado, all while handling the floor with basically no other employees except for herself. I couldn't believe her charisma while under such pressure. I really hope this review finds its way into her imminent raise. By the way, does anyone know if she's single? PS I love this Starbucks! Great peeps all around! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Studio City, California

Very rude baristas. Stopped one early Saturday morning. No one greeted me, even though I was the only customer in the store. When I tried to order, without even looking up, an employee behind the counter merely said, "order at the other counter." A different employee, with a sour look on her face and an attitude to match, took my order without saying a single word. When it came to pay, she merely said "scan" when I turned on my apple pay. When I held my phone next to the pay device, she barked, "scan!" I then noticed there was a scanning device. Not a pleasant experience at all. Very rude, but obviously these employees don't care. there's a Coffee Bean down the street; I will definitely be going there from now on. read more

I love Starbucks ; but this location always been my least favorite even though it's on my way to work . Today however I stopped by, because my friend, who is a nurse as well told me that Starbucks gives free coffee to first responders. I was told at this location that they don't have acids and can't do it for me. She made me feel like a beggar ! I can still afford buy myself a coffee. And I thought it was a very nice gesture from Starbucks to offer it to all first responders. I m not sure if the workers not aware or it was not implemented; but this person made feel very bad just prior to beginning of my shift. My suggestion to administration if Starbucks if you implement it , let everyone know ; if you don't implement it do not publicize this I deal enough with pandemic in the hospital and don't have to deal with attitude of this young girl .... read more

This place has everything going for them that your average Starbucks has going for it except this place doesn't really have any parking within a reasonable distance and normal Starbucks has nice employees. Oh and most Starbucks baristas know how to make the drinks on their menu, but these guys seem to have a bit of trouble with that. Maybe you could say this place is the Australia of Starbucks'. read more

Do not get a vanilla sweet cream cold brew at this location. It's my go to drink and every time I've ordered it at this location it's been made incorrectly. It's either missing the sweet cream or the pumps of vanilla. Always test your drink before leaving. Staff is very kind about fixing drinks but I do not think there was proper training on the Vanilla sweet cream cold brew. read more

Also, Denise, Aldo and Mason have been AMAZING at running this Starbucks efficiently!!!!!! I sat here and watched the staff deal with a displaced, smelly individual so respectfully! Always being super attentive to each and every customer who came in before and after! Also this location has OUTLETS! Super plus for me because I do work remote, have the Starbucks app and also conduct business meetings at Starbucks! Also there is tons of parking in the back as well as on the streets(metered)! If your In Studio City, stop here! You will not be disappointed! read more

Anyway i paid and i got so disappointed because it's not nice. they gave my coffee 12 mins later. so bad. read more

Starbucks - Not good - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Studio City, California

Tuesday's triple digit temps sent folks who usually sip barista blended beverages at outdoor seating on the corner of Ventura Boulevard and Vantage Avenue during double digit weather inside. Me too. But not for either liquid refreshment or a quick repast. Nope, I was on a quest to find stainless steel straws to reduce my carbon footprint. Not a fan of Starbucks' coffee, I prefer one of their perfectly brewed iced teas. However, I am a huge fan of their totally tasty, waistline conscious food (Egg Bites, YES!!), fresh salads and snacks (single serving vacuumed packed carrots and apple slices), often dining in or getting a meal to go when I'm too lazy to brown bag it. Selection here was well represented. I'm also a fan of Starbucks' retail merchandise (especially gift cards), reusable ceramic or insulated cups, mugs, and coffee and tea packaged to take home or to gift a special someone. Unfortunately, the merchandise selection was small and did not include the stainless steel straws I was looking for. I may be a tad early on trying to acquire this item as the ban/press on plastic straws is still relatively new. Meantime, I'll continue to use paper straws (also not easy to find) to sip caffeinated beverages without staining my teeth. This Starbucks is an intimate place where the lines move swiftly and the clientele is mellow. I could hang out here in the future to study or catch up on paperwork prior to seeing Silver Triangle clients. Metered parking on Ventura Boulevard. There's a free parking lot behind Pier 1 that doesn't seem to be enforced if you're frequenting other businesses as well as neighborhood parking subject to street sweeping days on Vantage Avenue. read more

Yesterday, on a perfect spring day, JayChan and I put the top down on his little MB and went looking for adventure. After exploring the hills along Mulholland, & stopping at various overlooks to appreciate the views (on this clear day we could see forever), the hot sun pretty much had done us in. Anyone who knows me knows that 'Bucks iced black tea is my fave refresher at times like this. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ecn9lm5wI0DUNrqHvipY1Q?select=TMxX-0lDalB9kZvfaDKE2w Right where Laurel Canyon spit us out is where we landed......at this 'Bucks on Ventura. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ecn9lm5wI0DUNrqHvipY1Q?select=wl36F0jBVCNjJ0LFhCaC-w The pretty people-watching is stellar at this location. It was the icing on the cake as we talked endlessly. I was reminded that a lazy Sunday afternoon spent with a friend so dear is a grounding force like no other. It's amazing how the quiet, simple times can offer such perspective. As we sipped our unsweetened iced tea, I was thinking that life is sweet enough just as it is. In fact, I went back for a refill....... read more

Not a bad place to work - but did experience some WiFi issues. There is indoor and outdoor seating, but as with most 'Bucks, if you want to get any work done, I recommend you stay indoors to get the strongest WiFi. Friendly staff but they have that annoying bathroom "sitch" where you have to get a code for the door... never easy to do when there is always a line at the counter. Easy parking in the lot behind or on the street. read more

Wow. You can't get more LA snobby than this Starbucks! Excuse me for not knowing which way the line queue should go. And sorry that my mistake ruined your entire day!! Not everyone stays near home 24/7. Some people like to explore other cities and visit family and friends that live beyond walking distance of them. Okay, so for all you yelpers that are visiting this location first time, the line starts closest to the glass, there is an island and it should be on your right. If you go on the other side, expect to feel the wrath of evil eyes from the LA hipsters. Coffee is still good and service is fast and friendly so I didn't want to dock too many stars. But with two coffee shops pretty much across the street I may not find myself back at this location anytime soon. read more
