One of the worse experiences ever. They were busy, which is understandable, but they were chatty and not focused. I asked for lite ice in my tea and I got a full cup of ice. I don't go to Starbucks to pay for ice, foam, whip cream--I want the drink. The liquid. Even my 9-yr old daughter said "maybe if they weren't talking so much they would have known you didn't want so much ice." I'm moving up to Temecula and this location won't be my regular/home store read more

This location is slower than molasses. Ordered a hot chocolate and an iced coffee and it took 30 minutes. Thank goodness we weren't in a hurry to get anywhere. If you need fast service, I'd go to another location. I wouldn't dare go to this location before work in the morning. read more

First time I came to this location I ordered the Christmas blend drip coffee. I'm used to the need to wait if it isn't brewed and will usually choose another if I can't wait. This location, however, charges EXTRA for the Christmas brew. I find that highly suspect as NO OTHER LOCATION has ever charged me extra for one drip over another. And 60 cents at that! Pretty steep increase for an under $2 drink. I wasn't happy and got a Pike's instead. read more

Can be busy, but always consistent with my orders, and has wireless charging built into some tables. read more

This has been my favorite Starbucks location for a long while but lately they've been really bad about getting the order right. The people are nice and friendly. I'm sure they're doing their best but it's not rocket science. All I ask is that the mobile order sticker on the cup match the drink. I always get my 10 year old daughter the Kids White Hot Chocolate with extra whip cream and extra Carmel drizzle. The last 5 times or so when they call my name I open the kids drink lid and there's no Carmel drizzle. I always have to ask them to put some on top. Then I look at the order sticker and it's right there in plain sight. Extra whip and extra drizzle. We seldom get either. I may have to try the location down the street which I don't like as much. read more

I have to say this is Starbuck is one of my favorites. The coffee is wonderful & I know the tastes & flavors are always on point every time I come here. The service I receive here is amazing. Renee & all the baristas here are so efficient, hard working, friendly & very polite. read more

La Paz is my fav new Starbucks they are super duper friendly!! Samantha and Raymond are my two Favs!! They are always super busy but still always super sweet! read more

What a great Starbucks!!! The service is excellent with such friendly employees. I like the location of this Starbucks, it's right across from me which makes it so nice. The coffee is so delicious, with all the many selections. I highly recommend this Starbucks to anyone who enjoys a friendly, fun atmosphere and great coffee. read more

Decided to give this Starbucks another chance and what do you know... another distasteful experience :( If I could give any advice to MOST of the employees, not all but MOST of them, go down to the Starbucks on Rancho Cal/ Meadows near the Baron's, take some notes on how to treat customers. I am going to just assume that there is a very negative energy festering there at this particular Starbucks on Hwy 79 and hope that other employees force that person out with kindness. Hopefully the climate will change because the team culture there is too tolerant of being short and unkind to customers. It's just a coffee yes, but I used to love the Starbucks vibe and I truly could just stay home, however I enjoy breaking out of the house for a treat. A "treat"... not some grouchy, short tempered staff that is belittling to the newer staff (ya, I see that part too, so sad). Please for the whole of our community... do you need and air hug or air fist bump? I mean come on how hard is it to show appreciation and kindness to those in your community? It starts with you and you alone. Try it. Btw I always tip, always and frankly I almost don't want to here at this Starbucks but I do it because those awesome newbies simply don't deserve to be stiffed the way you long standing employees stiff them on kindness! My venti iced cold brew never tasted so horrible and watered down. read more

Very busy with the 1/2 off Frap special...

So I've been coming to this Starbucks location at least 5 days a week for the last 3 years. Not one day has gone by that when I walk in I still get greeted with a smile and welcomed by my name. I want to personally thank each and every worker at this location for always making my day and making me feel at home when I come in. read more

Why have the mobile ahead and have it turned off more then on? It is so frustrating to see how inefficient this location has become. We always do better driving the distance to another location. Uggh read more

Some of the nicest baristas are at this location. Always friendly and they try to learn your name. I love that they have a clover machine. I'm absolutely into the reserve coffees. Patio is wonderful. Lots of seating. They have a bar area next to the baristas, so if you want to chat with your favorite one, you can! Absolutely wonderful. Warning though, this location is popular, so the line can be a bit longer. Doesn't that say everything? I've been going here since they opened (so long ago that I can't remember) and will continue to come here. read more

Two employees turned this into a 1 star review. The guy who took my order, a clean cut caucasian guy whose name starts with a J....I'm standing right in front of the register and he doesn't acknowledge me, even though he is looking at me. Whatever. So I start saying what I would like to order and he's just staring at the screen on the register. He cuts me off to loudly call the previous customer back over because her app to pay didn't go through. Not an issue in itself, but he should've 1) acknowledged me and 2) given me a 'just a moment I'll be right with you' or something. You don't just leave a customer hanging like that. The caucasion girl whose name starts with an S...I'm at the bar waiting for my drinks and sandwich. She comes over and tosses the sandwich down so it slides a little. Am I getting charged extra to have my sandwich thrown down onto the bar? So overall, not happy about this location. It was Fathers Day and not even busy. read more

Worst layout for a Statbucks. The register is at the back of this very narrow store so when it is crowded, which is basically always, there is no moving around without bumping into someone. If the design were thought about a little better, I think it would be a better starbucks. But the staff is friendly and the drinks are made right! If it is your only option, you won't be dissapointed in the service, but just keep in mind how busy it gets! read more

Not a bad Starbucks but it does have a few drawbacks. There is no drive thru which seems to always move faster at other Starbucks. Also every time I go inside there are about 10 people waiting to order and another 5 waiting for drinks. They always seem to be a little short staffed. Drinks have always been good and the workers are friendly. They just need to staff the place better to get people in and out quicker. read more

A Starbucks is a Starbucks...but I wanted to give 5 stars specifically to the blonde barista named Ashley. There was a really long line and the girl ordering was being really rude to her talking on her phone and describing drinks expecting ashley to know what she wanted. Ashley was friendly and patient and actually figured out what she wanted by the description of what the drink looked like. I was impressed that Ashley didn't give her attitude. I certainly would have. Good job ashley! read more

My drink was made perfectly. One barista was very friendly, another didn't smile at all (I made two separate transactions). Store was clean.

This is my favorite Starbucks!! They're always so welcoming and kind. The staff is really great, I ordered my drink wrong and Alexa was so understanding and fixed it with no problem! Thank you! read more

Not thrilled with the remodeling so far.. seating sucks and is very limited. Not sure who Starbucks hired, but they should ask for their money back.. read more

No inventory when you want to by a pound of beans! 2nd store I've been too today to try and get a pound of Kamodo Dragon . Can't Starbuck afford inventory ? Awful! I guess if anything it'll stop me from buying it in the future . save me some $ read more

This is the closest Starbucks to my home indicated for Starbucks in Meadows Shopping Center next to Wing Stop. I've worked for Starbucks before, I understand how busy it gets and how customers can be. The baristas here need some additional training on customer service and multitasking. I will stand at the end of the bar waiting on my finished beverage ordered via app sometimes 5-8 minutes before I am even acknowledged. While they hand and call out other drinks. They will start new beverages and still not assist me to grab my finished beverage or even make eye contact. Tip: While another drink is steaming or blending look over at mobile order customers and say, "Do you have a drink ordered via mobile?". Takes 2 seconds. Hand the beverage over and that takes maybe 1 second. Total 3 seconds maybe.....Drinks have also come out wrong I would say 7/10 times in past week or so. Watery, adding sugar free syrups (when this was not asked for) or no flavor added at all. Overall, training in customer service and multi tasking needs to be improved. Possible Solution: I don't know maybe its a corporate Starbucks rule to have mobile orders hiding beyond the reach of the customer but if not place them where customers can grab them just like the in store orders are called out. Have them placed off to the side with a indicated sign. Coffeebean down the street leaves them within reach and never any issues and is way more efficient. read more

Visited sat 3/17/18 @ about 4:30pm. Cashier super sweet, manager I think (some guy trying to look like Flynn rider but failed miserably) was so rude. He freaked out on a co worker bc she asked if he wanted her to stay late. I DONT KNOW YET!!! I HAVE TO CHECK FIRST! In turn she was rude when we asked if the coffee was a grande. THAT IS A GRANDE, THIIIIISSSSS IS A VENTE! I'm not sure why some Starbucks employees act like they are better than the customers. Relax dude, u serve coffee and clean toilets for a living. read more

1 Star for the horrible customer service I received last night from Richard. I have come to this location many tines before to study and the baristas are always respectful and make great coffee. So, coming in that is what I expected per usual. I went in last night with my friend to grab some drinks and sit in the store. I went to the front and ordered my drink and said I didn't want whipped cream because I don't like it. Richard looked at me with a disgusted face and said "you don't like whipped cream I don't like you" and with no sarcastic tone and his face was still the same so I was shocked that he was being like that to a customer. He then asked why I didn't like it. I said I don't like the taste or texture and he just looked at me like I was stupid. Then just said out of nowhere "you know out of you three (including my friend) you know who's my favorite? Not you" and I was just really uncomfortable at that point and tried to pay with my phone. So, I went to scan it and he looked at the name on the account and saw it said carol on it. I use my moms account not my own to earn her points. He just said "what kind of name is that you don't even look like a carol" and I said my name is Taylor and that it's not my account. I just walked off because I paid. He proceeded to call me carol when my drink was made and he said it in a tone of voice that was just rude (kind of a had to be there moment). I got my drink and sat at the tables to drink it with my friend and the store was closing soon. He said "um, carol we're closing in 10 minutes" with the same rude tone in his voice. There were also other customers in the store so it was really embarrassing that he was calling me out like that. I'm not one to get upset easily but when I got into the car I started to cry because I was embarrassed by him and treated with no respect. My friend called the store and asked to speak to the manager (Dave). Dave was present when this was happening and we explained that I did not appreciate the way I was treated. Dave told me that he already had to speak to him the same day about his behavior at work. He thanked me for calling and told us he would have another talk with him. May I also mention that Richard suggested that I write him a bad yelp review in the store. Not sure why you would ever want to encourage customers to write a bad yelp review about the store you work at. I work in retail and would never treat a customer with the disrespect I was given last night. All in all, Starbucks is still amazing. Focus on hiring nice employees who make their customers feel wanted. You never know what your words may do to someone Richard. Hopefully you learn that soon. read more

So slow in this starbucks! Been here 15 minutes! Just for a coffee.. i give them 0 stars

I needed a fix for my long drive back to the Desert through Hwy 74, so I stopped at the last available Starbucks off Temecula Parkway. It's pretty time consuming getting to this establishment and leaving also. The location seemed popular and bustling that evening, which gave it a good vibe. When I entered they were not busy and had more people inside adding to the calm vibe. The employee was friendly and added to mellowness. The service was fast and a great product that brings justice to the quality of Starbucks. The place was clean and inviting. I will definitely keep this place in mind during my trips through Temecula. Overall, great place that entails what a Starbucks is! The only downfall was the tedious drive to get to it and leave from it, which is not that bad when you have this quality to get too. read more

I normally do not write reviews for Starbucks and places of the like. However, I have to say that the service here is the best I have ever had at a Starbucks! It was super early in the morning...and I am NOT a morning person!!!! I was greeted by the sweetest/smiliest (yes, that's a word...my word...haha) gal. She was friendly and really nice. It was a nice way to start off the day!!! I don't live anywhere in the area...but, wish the service at other locations was like the one here. read more

Server was very polite the man who gave drinks was very impolite didn't acknowledge you and practically threw my drink at me

I like this particular Starbucks. I used to go here all the time when I lived in the area. We don't live around there anymore, so I don't frequent it as much, only if I happen to be in Temecula -shopping. The place is always clean and staff are friendly and efficient. My coffee always turns out perfect. They just seem to know how to make it correctly here without any drama or redoing the order. Cake pops are yummy little calorie/fat hoarders. We like to stop by here if we are going the mountain way to Palm Springs area by taking the 79S. read more

While the crew is friendly you will need 30+ minutes to get your coffee here. Just walked out for the third and last time due to very slow moving service. read more

I actually refuse to come to this location. The customer service is good except the lady Angelica. In fact I think its the manager. She was very rude to me and used profanity around me and my cousin. Very disrespectful and I'm astonished that she would do this considering she's the manager of this location. I am going to be calling corporate very soon. Do not come here. Also, I got the scent of pot when I was around her and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. read more

This location is great and Marie is absolutely incredible. She is always upbeat and energetic, even when there is a line out the door, she makes small gestures that go a huge way in creating a great experience. Awesome job! read more

Went in today for a Venti ginger ale & a Venti ice water. Caught attitude from the cashier. Every single barista looked like they were miserable. No smiles. No "thank you". No "have a great day". Absolutely miserable people & they were messing up drink orders left and right. It took 20 minutes to even get the ice water due to the fact that they were so busy making other patron drinks. The made one lady's drink 4, YES 4, times. They were busy, but it wasn't unmanageable, however the staff was completely overwhelmed. Where's the seasoned staff at? It's a busy location, staff it properly! The place was also disgustingly dirty! Super disappointed by the experience!! Spent a total of 40 minutes to get an ice water and ginger ale. read more

By far one of the better locations in Temecula - I prefer this particular location over the many others available in the area. The staff has always been helpful and friendly. It can often be very crowded at times but they are always consistent with their service. read more

So this Starbucks has always been ... Meh but tonight was the end of all that. We were kicked out at 9:30. Starbucks are not allowed to close with customers in the store. None the less, I was finishing up a cinnamon roll when the employee walked to the door and said, "We're closing." I said, congenially, "How about three more bites?" He said, "We have a half hour to clean the whole store. You have to get out." I happen to know this is expressly NOT Starbucks policy. I'll try to alert the district manager but this is not how you should be treating customers. A shame. read more

I always come here and never had an issue till today they made my drink wrong I order a matcha green tea cream frappe with vanilla and the classic and I asked the girl to fix it she gave me an attitude about it . they gave me the original drink back and the new one and the second drink was worst then the first one it wasn't even blended nothing I asked for was in the drink . I am very pissed off and won't be coming back. read more

Bought an iced white chocolate venti! It was delicious as always. Was going to get it hot at first due to the fact that it was a but chill outside however the iced drinks offer more ounces for your buck and an extra espresso shot so wiser decision in my view. Great service no complaints. read more

Worst Starbucks ever...waited 30 minutes for a green tea..walked out before getting it ..avoid this place ...yeah I'm mad!

My husband and I love coming to this Starbucks and enjoy there drinks but we've come to realize that for the most part all the employees are very professional and nice except for one particular Asian lady. I don't care to know her name, but she's a small petite lady with glasses seems to be rude in her voice. I'm not into the Starbucks lingo and do not know all the fru fru names of the drinks because I normally order just a plain cup of coffee. But today I ordered the not usual drink which was a Frapp for my daughter. When she took my order she sounded snarly with an attitude cuz I wasn't saying the Starbucks "lingo". She just looked at me with a straight stupid look to her. This lady needs to go back to basics on customer service training. A smile on her face and less attitude training would do her some good. Otherwise she should just work somewhere else to be away from the servicing the public. Don't know if she was having a bad day or having person issues, that's not my problem, just put her where she doesn't have to speak with customers in a condescending attitude. read more
