The low rating at this store is understandable. Ask for a decaf Ice coffee. They say we don't have that with an attitude. Really. Starbucks no decaf iced coffee. How hard is it to poor decaf coffee over ice. Whatever. Guess when you're the only coffee place in Yucca you can treat people rudely. Just wait till you get down the hill if you want some exotic like decaf iced coffee Not changing anything but went to my local Starbucks down the hill and the explained to me that they just give me a decaf americano and add water over ice. Difference between making a sale and loosing a customer in my opinion read more

I come from L.A. where there is a Starbucks around every corner and didn't know what to expect at a Starbucks that is the only one in the area. I have to say I am totally pleased. This Starbucks is clean, has plenty of products available, and always has seats in or outside. I also have been able to use the clean bathrooms without waiting forever every time I go. The staff is friendly, fast, and efficient. I have only had to wait a minute once when both their drive thru and lobby were busy. I was still taken care of in a reasonable time that particular Saturday. I approve. read more

Ever since I moved out here in October I've been going to Starbucks at least once a month. I love how everyone is so nice and respectful. Great customer service. Yesterday the gentleman took my order but got my order wrong. I told one of the employees this wasn't what i ordered. So he told me he can give me a refund and I told him I payed with my Starbucks card. So the manager said it's ok she'll give me cash. The gentleman still gave me the wrong coffee I ordered back and said I can keep and they got the ice coffee I wanted correctly. So prettying much I got a free coffee. I want to thank you so much. read more

Like most Starbucks. This drive thru is a 30 min wait for a coffee. I would recommend patience when coming here.

This Starbucks is literally the oasis in the desert. We stop by here all the time during our trips to the area. They are great, friendly people who always welcome you. Fantastic customer service! Thank you for being there and serving us with great smiles! :) read more

This was absolutely amazing where I live there are no Starbucks drive through. I would definitely come back the employees where amazing she made my day. I recommend coming back. The employee rose was so amazing she was talking to us about where we should go. I would come back every day if I lived here. read more

Waited 40 minutes in the drive thru for coffee Omg.. I was jammed in line so I couldn't reverse out of the drive thru unless I had a truck to pop the curb. Only good thing is that the employees here are always really pleasant and kind read more

Stopped at this Starbucks on the way out of Joshua Tree and it was a terrible experience. None of the employees wore hats or had their hair tied up and we ended up with a hair in one of our drink orders. One employee was more focused on his phone than the large amount of orders that were coming in on a busy Saturday afternoon, and on top of that, this same employee did not wash their hands upon returning to work after using their phone behind the register. Looks real bad when we're supposed to be washing our hands due to COVID-19. read more

I've been going to Starbucks for many years and this is the only Starbucks that does not have Sugar in the Raw, they also don't carry many other Items that a suburban store would have. The manager is rude and they act as if you are doing them a huge favor by showing up to order coffee. Many mornings the wait is 10 of more minutes to get a simple Americano. They are the only Starbucks within 15 miles which apparently makes them "special." read more

This was a amazing Starbucks especially because there was a drive through. Me and my daughter was so happy even though there was a lot of cars in front of us it took less then 5 minutes till it was our turn. The frap and the coffe was delicious read more

I love this Starbucks. All the people who work here are so kind and work very hard. I don't know why all the negative reviews.

This location is ALWAYS busy. They need another yucca or Joshua tree location. They are relatively efficient but things come out rushed. For example, nearly every time I order the egg spinach and feta wrap the center is still nearly frozen. It's not necessarily the workers fault, they're always so nice and accommodating. It's just that they are too busy. This location also tends to run out of various items on a daily basis. Maybe management needs a better inventory system given that this is one of the most trafficked locations in the high desert. read more

Long lines but quick service! They ran out of supplies for drinks and were informative to change the drink suitable for the customer. Friendly workers and very funny to talk to. Told us to order grande waters and pour it into our water bottle because they couldn't refill them during covid read more

I can think of a few things I rather do than wait for my coffee at this Starbucks. I'd rather wait in line for a ride in Disneyland surrounded by loud and obnoxious 12 year-olds in Mickey Mouse ears for 4 hours. I'd rather follow my wife to the mall and listen to her ask me which pair I like the best only to go against my preferences. I'd rather stream the entire Twilight series on a Windows Vista while connected to 56k dial-up internet. During the time I waited to get my iced coffee, I could have climbed the highest elevations of Peru, meticulously picked out the freshest and richest coffee beans, tamed the fiercest of burros, mingled with the locals and opened my own coffee shop. When service is slow - I can understand. Places can get busy and orders can get lost. I really do understand. But when service is slow because you have incompetent employees that laugh and joke about screwing up orders, then we got a problem. Listen, no one finds it the slightest bit amusing that you confused black iced coffee with a cheese danish. Close this one down, Starbucks. When your "barista" messes up an order of "Tall, Black Iced Coffee" - it's time. When your customers have to wait until the second coming of Christ to get their drinks - it's time. Shut. It. Down. read more

I miss frequenting this Starbucks during the pandemic but I understand why they are closed and appreciate them for caring about the safety of their employees. To the reviewer that said you have a better chance of being in a car wreck...you are a moron. Stay home. read more

This is a dirty store with what looks to be mud on the floors, behind the counter. It smells like a bottle of spoiled baby bottle milk inside. Bathroom was overflowing with trash and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a week. Our peppermint cocoa and chai latte were lukewarm, almost cool. Disgusting!! read more

Convently located off the main highway, this Starbucks is always happening. Expect a line but staff is helpful and friendly. Amenities include a drive through, indoor and outdoor seating, multiple plug outlets between bench seat tables, free wi-fi, a lending library, and small meeting room. They also have a community announcement board for events easily seen and accessed to the left of entry. Close proximity to food options and shopping makes it an easy choice. You'll find a lot of locals outside visiting in the am and a lot of commuters do their bulk coffee shopping here. It is a mid-sized store but if you are looking for consistency and easy of access, this is it. read more

Don't order a mobile order here or come inside to order because they are all trying to make orders for the drive thru and it will take forever. Do yourself a favor and go through the drive thru if you want your drink in a timely manner. read more

The Yucca Valley store doesn't know how to stock anything!!! They run out of main items like cups,lids and food every week. So don't get stuck in drive thru because they probably won't have what you want! read more

They could make this a tourist attraction for the worst starbucks of all time, it'd be about the only saving grace this place could have to its name. Unbelievably slower than slow. Out of stock ingredients. Greatest mystery is how it has such long lines after years of bad service. read more

Their afternoon staff is the best! Make the drinks perfect, I love the way they attend me,

The drive thru at this Starbucks is consistently slow. You can expect at least a 20 minute wait. Once you get to the counter, the staff is great. Not sure if this is a management problem or shear volume. During covid 19, this Starbucks takes mobile orders but no one is allowed in the store so customers still have to sit in the long line of the drive thru. Mobile ordering is pointless. I called the store to cancel my order and was told mobile orders can only be canceled in person! It makes no sense! read more

I don't think anyone working here has any remaining brain cells. I waiting an hour for a mobile order. The girl "just needed to poor my milk!" for like20 minutes. Wild read more

This location sucks. We waited like half an hour for our drinks and they're still not ready. So many mobile orders delaying everything -- six of them came out as I've been writing this. Bad experience! read more

First of all to Tatiana M, grow up and stay in L.A.. This place is always friendly and busy as usual for a Starbucks. They ALWAYS make things right if brought to attention and strive for perfection. Moving here from Kansas City, MO this small town location provides outstanding service and product equal to the major markets. Great job! Plus they are open 24/7 read more

I can't believe how busy this place was on a Sunday morning! The employees were really rockin' it to keep up with the demand of both the in-store crowd as well as a packed drive through. Service was prompt, location was clean. In line with a Starbucks experience. Would go again if in the area. read more

Romeo made my day today sweet and very nice guy very helpful and got my order perfectly. Love my local starbucks all very friendly .

Worst Starbucks Ever!!!!!! Most of the employees seem okay but the manager Allie is rude, dysfunctional, and speaks in a very condescending manner to customers. And the other employee Michelle has the worst customer service skills I have ever seen. She is so unfriendly and unapologetically rude. I watched both in my time there be so snarky to customers asking simple questions or taking a little longer to order I felt so bad for them. The atmosphere of the whole shop is very unwelcoming which is not like most Starbucks. I felt so uncomfortable there and the drinks tasted like slightly flavored water......never again read more

Small place , all tables occupied by computers of empty cups. A time limit needs to be at of occupying a table, sat down at a table of five with one guy using it as his office. Guess he wasn't thrilled we sat. Tough shit. read more

Horrible service, the woman was so rude and you waited for over 10 min before they even acknowledge you.

I always hate going to this Starbucks but I have friends and family in yucca and I have no choice. But as a partner myself this is sad. My drinks are never made right the taste quality is horrible. I had chunks of the soy milk from not properly being shaken before pouring it. And 6 scopes of matcha in a green ice tea latte? Come on if you don't put 6 scoops in your venti green tea frapp then why are you going to put 6 in an iced one. I also asked for it shaken and they never properly shake my drink right as you can see. read more

Linda is the nicest barista in the world. I love seeing a team work together well and efficiently while have fun. Thank you for not putting sugar in my doubleshot:) read more

Been here many times since it's the only one in the area but been to countless Starbucks all over the country. . This is the worst one I've ever been to. Rude, slow, prices change, never get the order right....ugh! Glad I'm moving. read more

This is the worst Starbucks location I've ever been too! I've given them multiple chances, but after today I'm no longer going back. The drinks always taste nasty, service is terrible... they're extremely rude and always out of everything. The lines are always long and very slow. It can take up to 20 mins to place your order. The last time I came here I wanted to get a pup cup for my puppy, they weren't giving any out so I'm like that's okay I understood. Today I came by to get a iced coffee (which tasted horrid, plus they put the wrong lid on top) they were out of oatmilk, I asked for a pup cup and the lady rudely tells me they're out of whip cream like really??? I saw whip on top of someone's Frappuccino in front of me in line. This lady that takes your order is older and has a nasty attitude. Don't waste your time here, drive out to another Starbucks. I work down in Palm Desert so the Starbucks down in the valley will get my money from now on. read more

The drive through is always super slow and super rude ( every once in a while you get a nice lady at the window, but rarely). Waited 30 minutes just to make an order then The person in The Mic wouldn't tell us our total or confirm our order. Jus silence... Until I said that's all, then just a "okay, see you at the window" The coffee itself is usually good, but mine tasted like soap today. I got a venti sweet cream cold brew with hazelnut. Usual Starbucks quality was not on poimt today... The staff not working the drive through is very nice, bit I rarely go in because I only get it when I'm on my way out if the basin. I do only come here because it's the only Starbucks in town. May stop altogether after soap coffee though... read more

I have lived in Yucca Valley my whole life and the many years that Starbucks has been here me and my family have enjoyed them every time we go. Never a complaint until now. I totally get that times are hard and there may be some staff shortages but lately this Starbucks in Yucca Valley has been closed every time me or my wife goes to get coffee. I went at 8pm and they were closed one night. Then my wife went one day in the morning and they were closed. I've gone multiple times at different times in the past couple weeks and they have been closed. I went tonight and it was just after 8pm and there was a paper sign on the drive thru that stated most days that the store closes at 2pm. How in the hell can a coffee shop or any business be closed mid-day?? Unless you normally close at that time cause your a breakfast/lunch establishment. Very disappointed. We don't need to buy coffee there but we enjoy it sometimes. Something needs to change at this store. The hours suck and the quality of the drinks have gone way down and the customer service has been effected greatly as well. Cmon Starbucks!!! DO BETTER!!! read more

They made us wait 1 hour for a mobile order (10:02-11:00). They are SO quiet and they put the mobile ordered orders in the back of the kitchen so the employees only pass the drinks out. I understand they are stressed too but 1 hour is just too much. read more

I'm a starbucks fan great service.the only problem is there drive thru lines.lines are long which we end up blocking del taco customers. read more

I'm not a big starbucks drinker, but my boyfriend is, so we stopped by on our way home from Joshua Tree. We were driving through the drive-thru and I needed to use the restroom, so I walked out and into the store. Walking inside I noticed that there were only two people working, and that there was a line of about 8 people. I went to use the restroom, and on my way out I noticed that we were still three cars away, the same location we were at when I first left to go use the restroom. Although it took a while, he ordered a hot dark roast coffee, and it tasted like it's supposed to be, so I guess I can't be too critical. read more
