Starbucks - Frappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut, California

I usually come by on weekends to enjoy a cup of coffee, and it has always been a pleasant experience. However, this morning I received my drink in a cup that appeared to have already been used. It was very dirty, which was both surprising and confusing. Frankly, I found it quite unbelievable and unacceptable. read more

I've been to quite a few Starbucks locations, but this one on Grand & Amar in Walnut is one of my favorites. The drinks are always made consistently, which is something I really appreciate. My go to order is a triple espresso with three pumps of banana syrup, one pump of brown sugar, half and half, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, and they make it perfectly every single time. The staff is always welcoming and friendly, making each visit a pleasant experience. I also love using the order ahead feature because I can quickly grab my drink before heading to work, which saves me a lot of time. The Starbucks itself is very spacious with plenty of seating, making it a great spot to relax, catch up on work, or enjoy your coffee. If you're looking for a reliable Starbucks with great service and consistently well made drinks, I definitely recommend this location. read more

"Irasshaimase".... At this Starbucks they must be getting bonuses for alllll the shouted out "welcome in!!!" It's almost awkward and kinda annoying. Maybe the person on the register can say welcome but everyone in the back too? There's 4 or 5 people on shift and they all need to say "welcome in"? Aside from that - thank you for the welcome. I ordered an iced brown sugar oatmilk shake Espresso - I asked for light ice and they said they would suggest an alternative drink because light ice would alter the flavor of my drink. Of the dozens of Starbucks up and down the state no one has ever told me I can't have my drink my way with light ice. I personally don't like so much ice melting and watering down my drink. But fine - make it the way you want to make it with allll the ice. In spite of that - thanks for the drink the free WiFi, clean lobby and bathroom and for telling me I was welcomed in. read more

Starbucks - Alllllll the ice. Meh. Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut, California

For my Spanglish Friends: This is the Starbucks of "Grand Amar", the Starbucks of "Great Love". I don't just come to this Starbucks for the reliable caffeine fix (though my usual Pike Place is always perfect). I come for the feeling. It hit me one day while waiting at the cross streets of Grand & Amar. In the beautiful Spanglish that lives in our community and in my own heart, these streets whisper a mission statement: "Grand Amar" -- To Love Greatly. And you know what? This store embodies it. It's in the warm "Hi, welcome!" from the hustling baristas. It's in the patient smile when I accidentally order a "grande" latte and my brain does a little poetic flip. They don't just serve coffee; they serve connection. The manager has created a spot that feels like the living room of the neighborhood--a place where you can love your work, love your quiet moment, or love catching up with a friend greatly. The atmosphere is as warm as the coffee, and the vibe is genuinely inclusive. So if you're looking for more than just a cup, come to the "Starbucks of Grand Amar." Taste the excellent drinks, but stay for the feeling. It's a clever little gift hidden in a street sign, turned into a genuinely lovely experience. ¡Nos vemos allí! / See you there! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut, California

I've been to this Starbucks thousands times before and usually everyone is so nice here, but today as I'm ordering the lady cut me off twice and was super rude. Then when I get to the window she has my drink sitting outside in the cold! It's literally raining, why is my drink outsideeee the drive thru window?! Her name is Melissa and I just told her that was beyond rude and unnecessary, it's a HOT DRINK, should not be in the cold because you have an attitude MELISSA. SMH wow do better, now I have to chose another Starbucks in the area to avoid Mellissa smh read more

Starbucks - My Hot drink was sitting in the cold outside of the driver thru window, so rude - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut, California

I absolutely love this location, it's my pit stop right before the gym. Everyone is so friendly and Dri makes my drinks so good, always consistent and amazing customer service. The wait is never too long, they are pretty fast and on top of it! Love it! read more

Bring a Book. You'll Age Waiting for Coffee. If you're thinking about going inside this Starbucks, don't. Unless you enjoy waiting 20-30 minutes for a single cup of coffee while questioning your life choices. This place somehow manages to turn making coffee into a slow-burn documentary. Orders take forever, and when they finally come out, there's a solid chance they're wrong anyway. It's like a mystery box -- you ordered one thing, but let's see what surprise you get. The whole operation feels like it's being run on vibes instead of urgency. Lots of movement, lots of noise, zero efficiency. Watching this place operate is like watching people figure out what coffee is in real time. If you want fast service, do yourself a favor and use the drive-thru. Seriously. DO NOT GO INSIDE. Going inside is how you lose half an hour and gain unnecessary stress before you've even had caffeine. Starbucks is supposed to be fast, convenient, and consistent. This location somehow misses all three. One star. And that's only because Yelp won't let me give zero. read more

It was our first time trying this drive thru and we came here fairly late. The service was great and the lavender matcha we ordered was well made. We often find their drinks to be very watery at times and this was just right. The drink itself is interesting. The lavender is potent and it feels as if you're drinking lavender soap (not in a bad sense). In terms of location? We like this for the convenience. It's not crowded during the evenings. It's your typical Starbucks style ambiance but what makes it nice is that Amar is fairly wooded giving you a rather different view. We'll definitely be back for night runs here. read more

always amazing ! barristtaaaaa giselle is always welcoming and makes my drinks so good

I'm glad they opened Starbucks at this convenient location in the nice and quiet neighborhood in the city of Walnut. I ordered the orange cream cake pop, iced matcha tea latte with strawberry foam & summer skies drink with popping boba. The drinks were okay but the service was so slow that day. There was no line but no one was at the cash register and someone told me to wait a little. We patiently waited for more than 10 minutes before we ordered. It wasn't crowded that day so I didn't know what happened. read more

Ordered my drink, confirmed my drink and still ended up at the window for five minutes just trying to get some extra coconut flakes lol Every excuse from the team and the manager zero accountability, bad vibes read more

Came here at night with my partner to get a quick drink. Service was quick and efficient. I decided to try their iced matcha latte since I heard that they changed their recipe. Instead of having sugar mixed with their matcha powder, they use simple syrup to sweeten the drink. Honestly, not a fan of the matcha latte because I taste more milk than the actual matcha itself. So it just tastes like milk flavored matcha? Overall, the facility itself is clean and seems to be a nice place to study. read more

I was on my lunch and ordered a single iced tea. I waited for 20 min and still nothing. When I asked for a refund the person just said ok. Sorry about that. The service is usually slow and takes on average about 10 min even in the drive through but this was the last time I come to this one. read more

I wish I could give this location zero stars. This has happened multiple times--they close the restaurant because they're short-staffed. I prefer placing mobile orders so I can grab and go, especially when I go and do my morning walks to there, but instead I'm told I have to walk through the drive-thru. That's completely ridiculous. Is corporate Starbucks even aware that this location operates this way? Is this actually allowed? If they can't support mobile or in-store pickup, they might as well close the location instead of wasting customers' time. IN THE FUTURE TURN OFF YOUR MOBILE APP. Now I'm having to deal with another headache of trying to get my refund thru corporate. read more

Today I went through the drive thru and I was a grump. I wasn't feeling well and was really just wanting a honey citrus tea with apple juice. That was my go to when I worked for sbux years ago. I ordered but was informed they no longer carry apple juice so I got upset & ordered a drink I didn't really want. Then I ordered my breakfast sandwich but they were out of sriracha.... Well I want to say. I am sorry to the guy who was at the drive thru window because, even though everything I wanted you were out of which wasn't your fault, I blamed you! But you didn't faulter, you continued with a smile and small talk about the weather. You were wonderful and awesome!!! Thank you!! read more

This location is in a busy plaza of restaurants and tutoring places. We usually go after picking up kids from their studies. The Starbucks has a large place to hang out and seems updated. I forgot to say low ice for my Daughter's Pink Drink and let's say they gave me only 30% product and rest was all ice! read more

Starbucks - Pink drink with lots of ice (not on purpose on my part). - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut, California

Employees are amazing, drinks made well and quickly!! Only thing they could improve on is the atmosphere. I'm not sure if she's the manager or a shift lead, but you'll know her by the sheer volume of her voice. I could hardly focus on studying because I could hear her yelling at employees through my airpods (through which I was BLASTING music). I've been here once a week for the past semester and I'm not sure if she realizes how much we can hear out in the lobby. Demanding and sharp, she runs this Starbucks like a drill sergeant. Employees yell "Good morning" or "Hi Welcome!" as loudly as possible at anyone who walks through the door and i'm not sure if it's out of fear or genuine kindness. It certainly feels like the former. Shoutout Roxie! You're always so sweet and genuine! read more

My new favorite Starbucks location. Baristas are super nice and energetic. I love how they always greet when anyone comes in. The energy they provide is absolutely the best vibe I have not seen in years from Starbucks. They became sour and unpleasant in other locations. I don't know what it is, perhaps it's near by school so they understand people comes in here to study most of the time. I come here to study as well. So far, they've been really pleasant. I love it and I will be coming to this location very often. read more

Wanted to shoutout Javier and the window operator as well, for his great customer service today at 5:22pm 9/20, and the pumpkin cream cold brew we got was perfect! My husband orders this drink a lot and he was so pleasantly surprised that he has been raving about it for the past 20 minutes. Thanks again! read more

I enjoy coming to this starbucks often. Whether it's for a quick drink in the morning or staying to study, there's always a great ambiance and the baristas are always super kind. Personally this is my favorite starbucks to go to, very chill. read more

SLOW.... Don't seem to be in any rush at all for people coming inside. If you're in a hurry I wouldn't come to this store.

The Baristas totally need a raise! Very friendly staff, chill atmosphere and they never mess up my drinks. You don't get that anymore! This will definitely be my go to place. They're really fast too! read more

Our family has been loyal Starbucks customers for years. Our son plays soccer just up the street, and we religiously make the 2-mile walk down here for coffee at least twice a week. Today, however, we were met with an unexpectedly unpleasant experience. The cashier, Ashley, refused to allow us to use the restroom until we made a purchase, as if doubting we would buy anything. This assumption was judgmental and disrespectful, especially toward regular customers. We left feeling unwelcome and disappointed--this is not the standard of hospitality we expect from Starbucks. read more

I think Starbucks food and drink is usually pretty solid, especially for how quickly it comes out. At this location there was a woman who was super friendly, funny, and brightened my mornings when I dreaded going to work. I don't see her anymore, and I hope it's because she is off doing amazing things! Overall, the customer service here is good with a few misses, usually from people who look like they're a little overwhelmed by demand. I've gone here several times, and I've never had an issue with my order. Inside there is plenty of seating, and lots of windows and natural light. read more

Amazing store and amazing employees. I always love the atmosphere and the hospitality.

Horrible customer service. The person assisting my order did in fact not have a name tag they got my order wrong when I had to repeat myself twice and did nothing to fix it. Nobody was inside the Starbucks for the worker to get my order wrong. I recommend going to a different Starbucks. read more

Bad service. The workers here are so terrible. Every time , I come here for pick up the order, they're so rude to me. So racist.

Tony is the best coffee maker in town! Ask him to work his magic and oh boy will you taste it. He really works wonders with his barista skills. read more

Not a terrible experience. I just hope they will do a better job at letting customers know when a menu item is not in stock. With all the technology in the world, we should be able to avoid a situation where a customer waits 10 minutes (for one of only 5 hot menu items they can eat), then is told the item is out of stock. Then another 8 minutes until the new item is heated. Hope this is not the norm there. read more

We arrive at this store location at 2 am for the Bearcup merchandise since I'm pretty sure that have it since I saw it in the store yesterday. We did try to purchase it yesterday but one of the staff said that they're not allowed since the Bearcups will be launching today(Nov. 6) that We have to get in line Nov. 6 early in the morning and We did! We waited from 2am in line till they open at 5am. Surprisingly The staff and the manager insisted that they dont have the bearcups in stock and delivery has not been made at this location! But We insited that We saw the Bearcups the day before the launching date. Little that We know They gave 1 customer that they sell the bearcup. And when We told them that We are in line earlier this morning too . The Manager said that they only have 1 in stock! While they keep on saying earlier that they didn't receive any shipment for the bearcups! Worst experience ever! read more

I'm not going to lie, I was kinda disappointed at first that the closed down Burger King location ended up becoming a Starbucks, because, you know, there's a mini one on campus at Mt. SAC & Cal Poly, one across the tracks from Cal Poly, and one down Grand at the village. Starbucks-ification is real. However, as clogged as the drive thru is here (when is it ever not clogged at any Starbucks), going in and ordering was actually pretty quick. Customer service was efficient and very friendly. There was a small sign at the pick up area with a barista's name, their fav drinks, and a neat fact about them. Liked that small personable aspect. I got the pistachio frappucino here, no whipped cream. It's no different from when I get it at other locations, but still really good. This was pre-COVID, but if there are any deals, or free cups, etc. This place will run out. Too close to campus and a surrounding neighborhood, so the Starbucks crazy individuals have already swooped in. read more

i love this starbucks i come everyday ! Great service all the time and fast they have a great team here

The drive thru had become surprisingly VERY slow over the last month, esp when I'm up at the window waiting to pay, then waiting even longer for my order. I have had some really nice experiences with a few of their employees, I wish I could remember their names to send them praise! Update: they're slow on the inside too. At least 2 minutes have passed and nobody acknowledged that customers (myself and another guest) have been standing at the register. Is this location consistently severely understaffed? Or do the employees have their drink order priorities out of order? Additionally, a young male employee who took my order in the drive thru failed to notify me that they had run out of whipped cream upon ordering. Instead he handed me my beverage without whipped cream, and proceeded to charge me the full price anyway. Update #2: the gentleman (Toni?) working at the drive just called me "girl" through the drive up order speaker. Please fix this, that's just not appropriate, we're not friends. read more

Sad to say it's the worst Starbucks I've ever been to. Typed this while I was waiting but I've been waiting 30 mins for my mobile order and people who mobile order 10 mins ago already got their drink. It's also SOOO dirty in the store. The people working looked so lost. The man who looked like the manager was even more lost. It also seems like they will only make your drink if u ask them about it. read more

I just want to say this store is amazing and the employees are all great. Unfortunately they experience very difficult customers that lack common decency and respect. Any negative reviews that are on this page are all Karen's complaining because they didn't get their way when the baristas are respectfully trying to help them. Entitled people that feel the need to write negative reviews about these amazing baristas can suck a toe. These are employees that are following Starbucks standards and are not getting staffed enough to deal with your bullshit. read more

Personally my order has never been messed up when I order through the app even though i always customize my drink and it always comes out bomb Do not expect exceptional service bc they do not expect your tip. Thank you to the workers, being a barista at starbucks is war lol read more
