Service was great! Sean was particularly helpful! I absolutely love the fact that they have reusable food service ware options! We all drank our coffee and latte in ceramic mugs instead of paper-plastic single-use cups! Also the food was served on a ceramic plate!! The experience was so much better! It just tastes better that way!! read more

Starbucks - Reusable Coffee Frappuccino Blended Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

Such a great birthday experience. I normally avoid this location in the mornings because of how busy it gets but I went after 3 pm for my birthday drink and Jose was amazing! I told him to surprise me and gave him some flavors I enjoy, and he whipped up such a special drink! Truly delightful! read more

It's Triple Star Tuesday AND I had a 50% off coupon through the Starbucks app, so of course I had to stop at Starbucks! The cost of the cold foam sadly went up again a bit ago, to a whopping $1.25. So since I had the coupon for the 50% off, decided it was time to try a different cold foam. I got a venti iced matcha latte with the peppermint chocolate cold foam. I'm a huge fan of the regular iced matcha latte, so was excited to try this! The peppermint chocolate cold foam added a nice touch to the drink. It tasted like an Andes mint chocolate drink with a hint of matcha. If you're craving a strong matcha taste, probably not the best choice, but if you want a chocolate drink with some caffeine, I highly recommend! Super tasty! My sister got a grande hot peppermint white chocolate mocha, which she enjoyed. They actually offer peppermint year-round so if you're craving a holiday drink even when it's not the holidays, that's the perfect one to get! This location does get pretty busy. Large space with a lot of tables, but it fills up pretty fast. I've studied here a few times, and had to get there pretty early to secure a spot. If you're a regular at Starbucks, I highly recommend the Starbucks app. There's a lot of perks - collecting stars to get free drinks, add-ons, or merch, free drink on your birthday, and coupons. Plus mobile ordering is pretty convenient. At this location, I recommend mobile ordering if you're in a rush to go somewhere. Today, we mobile ordered so our drinks were ready within 10 minutes, and ready upon our arrival. Workers were friendly and greeted us upon arrival. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

Friendliest Starbucks ever! Not crowded. Spacious. Clean. Gonna keep coming here for sure.

This review is based on how efficient this particular Starbucks is. I was loading up the pup in the car (after an hour watching him do a buncha zoomies and do lotsa and lotsa playtime with other pups at the dog park nearby) when I had this sudden urge for and iced matcha latte. So I put in the order through their app and was informed it'll be ready in about 9-12. Welp... I was gonna be there in less than 5 which was fine, I thought I'd just hangout with the pup in the car while I wait. Parked right up front and boy, this place is PACKED. Not a single table was open on a not-so-early-almost-lunch Sunday. That said, I expected my drink to take longer to come out. But! I actually got a little glimpse of the pick-up area and saw something that looked like mine. Since no one picked it up after a few seconds, I decided to check it out... ... and it was mine. I was ecstatic - I couldn't believe my drink was ready so quickly despite the crowd! How were they able to pull this? The drink was perfect - even more so when the sun began to break through the cloudy sky. I might just make it a must-stop for before and/or after taking the pup for a park run. read more

Best best!! I been a customer there for about 25 years! I go there every morning, to get my fix!! My coffee Love my Starbucks coffee and what makes it even better are the people that work there!! Very friendly kind helpful!! read more

Workers are very nice. Service is good, but my main complaint is, they are very slow when completing your orders

Used to go here all the time, but never again. I am tired of their coffee and food for it has gotten way too expensive for being only mid. They used to have a great reward program, but it is barely useful now. I give this store an extra star because it is still a place you can hang out, study, or just sit and talk with friends, you know, like a coffee shop should be. Also, free parking is nice. Service is ok, but their baristas seem stressed. They need to hire more people. read more

Why is it so difficult to check if a customer wants hot or cold? Is it that difficult? Almost every time I order a hot coffee, I get a cold coffee. Except one time, there was no hot version, only cold. I looked at what I ordered with my phone one more time, and there was nowhere it said cold; of course I ordered a latte from "Hot Coffee." I think I am going to try ordering from "Cold Coffee" then I might get a hot latte. What kind of people are working here??? read more

This is what I got with my request for light ice, 2 or 3 sips and enough ice to build an igloo! Next time I will just order a drink with my glass of ice, if that makes any sense! read more

Starbucks 2 Femaie African American workers (Thur ~6pm 12/28/23) on Hawthorne/182nd like to quote unwritten/nor published corporate policies to customers that other Starbucks locations and other coffee establishment (McDs, Gloria, Dutch Brothers, Dennys, Yellow Vase) have NO problem accommodating to put dairy on the side. Worker claimed "sweet foam MUST be inside the same cup" to not perform the task and that it was corporate policy and called it "fluid" policy. This location has NO Barista and the workers refer to ingredient guide list on how to make as policy vs. how a customer wants their drink with a SIMPLE change of having dairy set on the side. This situation alone made me decide not to buy Starbucks gift cards for family friends for the holidays. Instead, I bought Nespresso gifts cards so they can make their own w/o needing to stop at Starbucks. Or MCDs, gift cards. read more

This is really the slowest Starbucks ever I visited. I usually avoid here but today it was more convenient for me to pick up my drink. I ordered via app and when I get there, my drink wasn't ready. It's ok and it happens. After 10 min my drink was ready and my app says drink will be ready 5-8min and it was total 13-14min. I could even go to Hawthorne and Torrance one and they are always better. read more

We come here a lot but today was a bad food experience on all fronts. The warmed up croissant we ordered was frozen on the inside, the hard boiled egg in the snack box tasted spoiled and the vanilla bean scone was mushy. I don't know what has happened to this Starbucks but it has really gone downhill and we will not be coming back. read more

If you order a large to go container online in the morning, take your time. They won't have it ready when they saw they will. And any frustration will result in them deliberately taking longer to serve you. Ridiculous. read more

Favorite location! Definitely my favorite starbucks location to study or chat with people. Located on corner of Anza and 190th, this place has huge parking lot. Inside is also huge (relatively speaking). There's lots of tables for seating and free wifi is great. Menu is the usual with exception of seasonal drinks and custom drinks only at this location. This place used to serve alcohol i think, now they don't. This is my favorite studying spot. read more

Like the last reviewer, Mediator M, I felt like no one wanted to be here. No name tags, out of uniform, no smiles, no greeting; warm or otherwise. I went in at 6:30pm. They close at 8. I asked for the restroom code. I was told both restrooms were closed. "Why would they both be closed?" No answer. I'm sure it's just because they cleaned them early & locked them so they could leave as soon as possible. I went across the street to use the restroom at CVS. When I came back, I ordered & no receipt was given. I'm sure they knew I would use the number on the receipt. While I was waiting, the employee who told me the restrooms were closed & two other baristas were doing nothing while trash overflowed & the tables were dirty. If you are open & selling food & drinks, YOUR RESTROOMS SHOULD BE OPEN! HASN'T STARBUCKS GOTTEN IN ENOUGH TROUBLE REFUSING THE USE OF RESTROOMS??? read more

Starbucks - Trash overflowing, restrooms "closed", employees not giving a rat's @ss! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

This location is the absolute worst. You could sit down at a restaurant and get your food faster. By far the slowest location, no matter the day or time of the week. Starbucks is built on quality and speed. They have zeeeero speed. read more

Ugh, the closest Starbucks to me and yet, the slowest service. Ordered a hot coffee and breakfast sandwich and somehow the sandwich comes out 18 minutes after I placed my order, 10 minutes after my coffee. This place needs an organizational revamp. No matter what time of day I am here, there's a large back up. read more

TLDR: Super slow service when open which is hardly ever. Go somewhere else. This used to be the BEST Starbucks in the area. It was new and nice and big, and people flocked there to study, meet up and socialize. They even served wine at one point. The pandemic COMPLETELY CHANGED this location. First they were closed for much longer than was mandated and ever since they have reopened, their hours are completely weird. Closed all day. Closed at 10 AM. Closed at 1 pm. The only consistency here is inconsistency. It's a ghost town now, hardly ever crowded, slow service, super quiet. I'm sure this location used to generate a ton of money for Starbucks...hopefully corporate will invest again here while closing the locations in the City of LA. While writing this review I've watched six people walk up to the door and walk away since it is closed on a Sunday at 1:45 PM. read more

Starbucks - Inconsistent hours - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

This Starbucks needs some major management work regarding staffing. This is a rather big location on a busy corner with a lot of mobile orders and walk-in orders. The overall vibe here isn't welcoming. Nobody seems like they want to work here, there's no ambient music, and the overall attitude here is very rushed and doesn't seem fair to the customer or SB employee. If you want to step back further and look at what corporate America has done to the day to day employee in 2023, this is it. Inflation so high that a barista job turns into a production line with zero incentives or pay offs. It's very sad so at least provide more help, pay, or incentives to make people want to be here. Who is in charge here? read more

This is one of the bigger sized Starbucks I've been too. Although I don't live in the area, I've been to this location several times in the past year. It's bright from the large windows and always clean. The employees are always friendly and willing to get your order right. Due to the size of the location, they always have a lot of merchandise to choose from too. You won't be disappointed in making an order here! read more

Starbucks - Pumpkin cold cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

I was going to take a star off for no drive-thru but the service was just too good to give it 4 stars. I've never ordered a kid size drink but my daughter wanted to "look like mommy" TJ gave me my options and he was so patient with my indecisive daughter. Good service here at this location. read more

This is my go-to neighborhood Starbucks. I use the app and order ahead. For the past few months the service has been way behind. You get an alert that your order is ready only to wait for 20 more minutes. If you offer mobile orders and the customer orders ahead make sure the messages are accurate to your customers. Used to give this place a 5 star but as I mentioned before its been bad news the past few months. Hope they get it figured out! read more

Been coming here for almost a decade and their drinks are usually consistent. I wish they had a drive thru but at the same time i don't because that probably keeps the place from being too congested lol. I've seen some questions and yes the restrooms are locked and you have to get in line to ask for the keys lol. It is pretty spacey in there unlike other starbucks so you can totally chill in there and do your homework or bring friends read more

Starbucks - Cookie mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

Classic and the world's favorite. What else is there to say? Cozy vibe, nice people, and jolly times.

dont bother ordering pickup because it will take ten minutes or longer, either wont have your order at all or only half of it. Go to the other Starbucks instead of ordering pickup here read more

The Starbucks has a really helpful staff. Mary is always ready to help. My drink is usually made on time. Also, they keep the store very clean! read more

The tables in this store are permanently disgusting. They're irreversibly caked in who knows what and if you out your hot sandwich bag on them, it literally sticks to the table. Once you tear your bag off, it's permanently added to the collage on the tabletop. That said it's big and convenient so it's always packed and that seems to be the only concern as they've never done anything to improve the store. At a minimum, they could provide customers with a sanitary surface to eat on. Currently that's not the case. Update: They got new tables and chairs that are clean! read more

Starbucks - Tabletop as one of the first customers to visit in the morning. Same as it looked last week... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

Another of my regular Starbucks locations. This one can get very crowded. PROS: - Pro Tip for this location: USE THE MOBILE APP - Line management is decent, and earns this Sbux an extra star - Cashiers/Barista's are very nice, and remember the regulars - There's a lot of seating area CONS: - Sadly only 2 restrooms, and there's a lot of "accessibility" in the ladies restroom (so I've been told), but the lone men's potty is one person at a time, and can really back up a line. - I will say the staff needs to clean the bar area, the coffee servicing area in the middle, and the table tops more often. It gets filthy inside and here's where I deduct stars. - Also they need to refill the creamers and napkins more often For being a big location at a key intersection, and high traffic they doa decent job moving the orders along. Work on the cleanliness and things shall be 4-star in my humble opinion. ENJOY! read more

Slowest and Worst customer service ever.....................................................,..........zero stars if possible...........

I've been coming to this location for the past 6 years. It's pretty big on the inside. It's loud during their peak hours so I'm not too sure how people can work here with the noise but the staff here is very nice and it's pretty clean. It shares a parking lot with the pool store (right next door). But parking isn't hard to find. I use my Mobil app to avoid the wait. Out of experience if you're in a rush order a head. It's much quicker than waiting in the line. read more

Starbucks - The frappula!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

I love walking in here! With the new renovations, it is so spacious and inviting! And, with that being said, it is very clean and new! Although this location is usually very busy, you can find parking fairly easily. When I want a perfect Starbucks drink, I make a point to come to this one. The service is very friendly and they actually have given me info on various drinks. One time I asked about the new Fizzio drinks and was told if the Spiced Root Beer one was too strong, I could come back to the counter & ask them to add cream to tone it down. I was also told that it would then be more like a root beer float. I didn't return, I drank it the way it was served. On another occasion, I overheard a Barista telling a customer all about the Clover machine & how it worked. I came in recently and the guy taking orders said he recognized me from Yelp and I think he mentioned something about the green tea frapp! So odd, but yet cool! My staple drink and most favorite one is the Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino!! With an extra scoop of Matcha!! This is most definitely my go to Starbucks location. When you want a drink made your specific way, come to this one!! TIP: As with all Starbucks locations, if you have a Starbucks Gift Card, you can register & reload it from your mobile device. Download the Starbucks App. Be sure to join the Starbucks Rewards Program and pay for your purchases with the registered gift card or the registered gift card on your mobile device. Each total purchase will earn you 1 Star. ***If you buy 2 drinks, order & pay for each one separately so you can earn 2 stars. They don't tell you this.*** When you register for the Reward program, you instantly get a free drink, and you'll get one on your birthday. I'm at the Gold Level until Feb. 2016! Gotta love rewards!! read more

I know. The first thing your going to say was "Jimmy why did you visit a corporate establishment only focused on increasing revenue so the new CEO can get his unrestricted stock options and by himself another island?" And you would be right I am hypocritical for visiting a crappy corporate chain, but I have a reason. I was getting high as hell on the Redondo pier and got crazy cotton mouth while I was driving by so I had to stop in. Also everything deserves a 109th chance to fix their crap. Well Starbucks you never cease to amaze me. Let's start with the fact I was high and hungry and breakfast at 8pm sounded splendid. While choosing what rubber tasting breakfast sand which I wanted a cute little fly popped out of nowhere. See exhibit A. I asked the lady if that's the sandwich I would be eating and she said yes. So great, no damn food Ok moving on to the drinks. I was feelin something with nitro in it because who in the hell wants oxygen in their coffee. I want that damn nitro. So I got a nitro black coffee. When I get it the lady hands me a cup with some weird hole at the top. I said where the hell is my damn straw she pointed to the sign. See exhibit B. I said give me 10 straws so I don't have to deal with this straw crap. Starbucks trying to save the world by not using straws but using non sustainable coffee fields for their garbage coffee. The only positive was the napkins were out for me to take a big handful, because you always need napkins. Extremely disappointed in you Starbucks No love and no respect for you from Jimmy. read more

How does this Starbucks consistently get mobile orders wrong? Does Starbucks need a reading test for employees or maybe just better training so baristas do their jobs and make these expensive drinks properly. I hate that this is my local Starbucks. I've been going to other stores a 1-2 miles father away because this 190th store is the most incompetent and inept, but every once in a while when I'm in a rush, I'll come here, and every time they mess something up. read more

This location is one of the best Starbuck locations . They are pleasant and very helpful. , Diante is one of the most helpful and pleasant baristas I have had the pleasure to meet he always makes sure we are happy with our order.

Most all of the baristas who work at this location are the best I've met. Thank you for your excellent service! read more

This is the WORST Starbucks ever. I understand staffing shortages during COVID, etc. but their hours are inconsistent and they don't update on-line. Even when they are open, mobile orders are never on-time, the order is incomplete or wrong, probably because when you walk in to pick it up, employees are so engrossed in their conversations with each other they're not focused on orders. read more
