Never like Starbucks, never like their coffee, never like their overpriced coffee mugs with stupid heart printed on them. Sadly the Peet's coffee one block away is always packed...me so lazy therefore I tend to buy coffee from this location times to time. The patio is smoke free, which is weird because it is OUTSIDE! However people still tend to smoke around that area. During the night, whenever you pass by there, there are group of people standing around, girls sitting on guys laps, talking about none sense, I would not go inside to buy coffees if I just came to this place for the first time. However I still feel like this place deserves 3 stars, just because their staff is very friendly. read more

Not cool Starbucks!! I showed up tonight at 10:30pm to get a pastry and coffee and you had already packed up ALL the pastries. 30 mins before closing!! That's not okay. As long as you are open all pastries should be available until closing. And I think it is legally required to have all employees have their hair back or up, including the men too. read more

I go here out of desperation whenever I'm trapped in Burlingame. I've been waiting to write this review because I didn't want to Jump to Conclusions (that was for you, Office Space nerds). But I've been there enough times to (I think) figure out what's going on. First time I went in, a young blond guy rocking the Bieber cut and gauged ears took my order and was pretty peppy. He smiled at me and said I had a cool name (sorry dude, unless you're an American Gladiator, no one has a "cool" name) and I went about my business. There's another guy there who likes to sing to women as they pick up their drinks. I don't pay attention to either of them. Message to both of you: Stop. I'm not there to get a date or a self esteem boner and since they're actually being paid, they DEFINITELY shouldn't be trying to either. Unfortunately, there are plenty of women who walk in and encourage them. They're usually ironically dressed like an extra from Ferris Bueller's Day Off and always kind of excitedly run their words together like, "Heyhow'sitgoingmeetmeatmylockerafterhomeroom!" But the thing that ultimately bugs me is that the level of service I've gotten seems to have dropped. I'm not rude to them, I offer the perfunctory pleasantries. But I've seen them be blatantly indifferent to me and extremely flirty/nice with someone who is willing to play their game. Maybe I'm reading into it too much but either way, service sucks. So if you want to date a guy who thinks he can sing like Bob Marley, this location could work for you. Otherwise, stay away. read more

What can you say about a Starbucks that someone else hasn't already? I like the location of this one and the fact the staff are very friendly. The barista behind the counter got a little crazy calling out the drink names when she finished whipping them up, but it was a welcomed upbeat attitude after a long night of drinking downtown. Thanks for the tasty blended coffee frap with an add shot! read more

So it was EXTREMELY HOT on this particular day. Like real feel on our oh so super android phones, 80 something degrees. And yea, 80 degrees is hot for us San Franciscans. After I got my eyebrows done we walked into Starbucks. I got my usual, well my usual for a HOT HOT day. Tall, passion fruit ice tea with lemonade, sweetened. And lemme tell you, the guy made it with L-O-V-E all the way hey! It was more tart then usual, which was great, cause it made it more refreshing esp. on a super hot day, and added like a ton of ice! The hubbz got his usual Venti ice coffee with extra extra ice to boot. Because did I mention it was A SUPER HOT DAY! read more

~ Soy Chai Latte ~ This has been my go-to drink over the past several weeks. I do ask for non-fat and a bit less on the chai pumps because more chai from Starbucks is actually more sweet than actual Chai. read more

I hate this place. I will start with the reason that they get one star: They are open late. Peet's is one block away and closes at like 7 or 8. Starbucks closes at 12:30. Congratulations, you get a star! I drink coffee, I like coffee; what they served me was not coffee. It was some sort of sh*t that they strained into a cup. I say that it wasn't coffee because I have had some really bad coffee, and you can not make coffee as bad as they served it. It's impossible, which means that it wasn't coffee. I smoke cigarettes, I like cigarettes; they won't let you smoke cigarettes OUTSIDE of their building. Fascists. They have these passive aggressive signs posted everywhere: "Starbucks is a Friendly Smoke Free Environment,. Thank You." No Starbucks, Thank You. The only reason that I was gonna smoke was to get the horrible taste of your so-called 'coffee' out of my mouth. read more

Not a big fan but it's ok when there is nothing else. But the guy that was power washing the windows and seats when me and my 3 year old were eating at Boulange which was only 2small tables away.... Is an idiot! "Umh sorry for the mist but I'm almost done..." What a dumb ass read more

I appreciated that store cause they are open late. Until 9, I believe. I was driving late to work and was searching for still open coffee shop, but it wasn't a big amount though. Keep it up, you saved me that evening! read more

I cannot believe the raves for this Starbucks here. The place is the SLOWEST, most mismanaged one by far. There are always teenagers smoking outside, people with about 20 pooping dogs and during the day, many little families. They also always have 2 lines going, and whatever one you get in will be the one where the teenager takes a break when you are next in line. It's always freeezzing in there, I guess because everyone is hopped up on caffeine. Honestly, this place makes me crabby and misanthropic just thinking about! Let me say it again parents: CHILDREN + CHOCOLATE + SUGAR + CAFFEINE = we all hate you! Buy some beans, put the kids, dogs and any other stroller type/leash type being in the back yard and make some coffee. Aaaarrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh! read more

can't even make a drink right, they left my drink still icy. i couldn't even drink it. they also took forever to give out my drink, 2 customers before me had their drink before mine. read more

Same old same old...Starbucks...got one of my regulars...Grande Soy Latte....I think the barista that made it was the same from the one I go to from South San Francisco...He always makes a really good Soy Latte.. Lines were long but it went by pretty fast... read more

WONDERFUL!!!! Super clean, super friendly, this is only my second time in my life ordering a VEINTE drink, it's because we had a free drink coupon--who wouldn't order the largest??! Salted Caramel Mocha, while the name sounds legit, well it is pretty legit, but tasted like a normal mocha to me, and I ALWAYS add caramel to everything, including iced coffee, caramel never gets old, so maybe I'm used to that flavor. Anyways. As we were eating a cheese danish at the table, this guy comes by and offers to clear the trash away, which was so nice, so he took all the crinkled up napkins. Really, it's so friendly here. Maybe because it's on Burlingame Avenue and you have to (usually) pay for parking, at the meters, so if you're coming here it BETTER be good, aint free (unless you find magical parking further away? go search). Well, this is a wonderful Avenue and LOTS of dogs walking around, usually they all sit outside this starbucks too, big dogs little dogs, all usually polite. Minus the dogs trapped in their owners' cars, pitifully barking :( FIVE STARS. read more

Starbucks - Salted caramel mocha!!!!!!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlingame, California

Don't expect the lovely baristas to flash a smile or give you enough time to give your order before they turn their back to you. Also, when they make your drink wrong don't expect an apology either because it's not their fault they didn't pay attention. You should probably just stick to a cup of joe so that the bar isn't set too high. Enjoy! read more

One of the few starbucks I will go into.... I grew up stepping in and out of this place after it killed the finest coffee shop in the history of man. That little beatnik joint? Oh my it was the best. But I have had many memories in this Starbucks. Hanging out with high school friends. Working from here, thinking outside, twiddling my pen. It has been a fixture... literal edifice... in my life. It deserves some love. I don't make a habit of reviewing a chain, but this is one of the last places I see community happen at a change. Burlingame, for all it pretentiousness and uppity drawbacks, should be very pleased about this venue. It might have killed Coffee Critic and that cute bistro, but it is what it is, and what it is is a busy and great coffee shop! read more

The worst Starbucks of all time! Your better off going to the broadway location. I told the guy with the man bun that my order was wrong and he has the worst attitude ever! I wasn't going to add a star but this star is for Chen! The only best worker there! read more

Long wait. Its cold hangin out inside cause there are so many people coming in and out. There were flies hanging around the couches in the front. Pretty dirty for a Starbucks. Wish I knew there was a Peets around the corner and I would've gone there. read more

During the day: 4 stars During the night: 2 stars There's usually a line but the baristas are also quick. Good things there. At night, it's ghetto gathering. Hang out spot for kids. read more

Came here for a short work meeting today and the barista (Asian male, 20s or early 30s) decided to be comedian of the month. At the counter, I ordered an iced green tea for my co-worker and he walked over to interrupt and said, "lemme guess, no sweetener?" This was probably after he overheard me speaking to my co-worker and wanted to join in on our fun. Later, we planned on moving from our bar top to a table after 2 moms and their screaming babies left crumbs all over the table (seriously, how have people been excused to be TOTAL SLOBS in public?) and asked Asian comedian if he could please help us wipe the table. Asian comedian decides that we're in China or a boba drink establishment and tells me IN CHINESE, "yes I'll be there in a minute to wipe that table." Thanks dude but I'm really not interested in hanging. Here for work SPEAKING ENGLISH the entire time and don't appreciate assumptions or eavesdropping on customers. Thankyouverymuch. My chai latte wasn't good at all (lukewarm, cloyingly sweet and obviously made from premix) and an older creepy dude sat down at our table and spent the majority of his time either staring me down or staring directly at my laptop while I discussed business with my co-worker. Clearly doesn't know what peripheral vision is. This was a gross experience overall, don't know what else to say about that. Won't be returning. read more

This place seemed ok a few months ago, but now that summer's here, you're better off walking a couple more blocks and crossing the street to go to Peet's. First of all, this store is now crowded almost 24/7 with a long line much of the time and all the seating taken. Second, it's full of noisy high school kids and questionable dudes... there's also this one clearly homeless lady who kinda camps out on the sofa, just looking sketchy. And there's a growing crowd of sidewalk loiterers who just gum up the whole works on the Burlingame corner. And finally, even if you did want to go here, parking's a bitch, so you'd better walk. Also, side note to the singing barista: Dude, you're really sweet and polite, and I can tell you're a music fan, and it's not that you're a bad singer at all. You have a very pleasant singing voice. But I really didn't come to Starbucks to hear you singing John Mayer. I'm more of a Motorhead kinda girl, but even if we didn't have such divergent tastes in music, you're a barista, not a singer. That's your role while you're here. I'd appreciate it if you kept your singing to a low hum while others are around. I know retail sucks and you've gotta keep yourself amused; maybe you should get a job at a record shop next summer? End of side note. In conclusion, I'm avoiding this place until school's back in session, and maybe even after. read more

Hey if you ever see my man Chen or in fact any other of the staff they are great and know their shit. Plus if you come enough times they become that awkward second family but it's cool lol. They know my order by heart so I have to trick them sometimes because I like being a dick here and there. But yah great crew and great drinks. Never complaining read more

Let me start by saying I love Starbucks, just not this one! I was so disappointed! My friend came over here from Oakland and wanted to see some cute little shops, so we ended up at Bulingame avenue. She ordered her iced sugar free vanilla coffee, and on our way we went. Well, as we parked right in front of the store, she wanted to get her $0.50 refill before we got back in the car. I have a gold card (Starbucks rewards program) and I was like it should be free with my card... Well. we went in and the very rude guy at the counter said you left the store so I have to charge you for a new one. My friend who normally does this with her iced coffee, at numerous other Starbucks was offended by the rudeness and decided to forget it! So I am forgetting about this Starbucks! Ugh! I will take the time later to check their online policy statements about refills, but there was no need to be rude to us about it regardless. I strongly suggest visiting a local cafe or a different Starbucks. read more

I tend to hold Starbucks to a high standard since I am a Barista myself but this place was awful. I ordered a hot tea iced which takes a few minutes to steep and the Barista ringing me up actually rolled his eyes. I always ordered a regular iced tea which he was OK with I suppose . I was trying to be cheerful hoping it would bring up his mood but he didn't even make eye contact with me at all. The bathrooms were out of stock as well. Not one person greeted my friend and I or thanked us. This is not to the standard Howard Shultz wants from us and I was really disappointed. P.s. my friend who met us after got a frappicino and it was a simple white mocha and it was made wrong. read more

Staff is super nice and there is a good large table in the back with lots of seating for studying. It can get a little noisy at times so bring headphones or earplugs if you plan to do work. Otherwise, as far as Starbucks go it has a nice seat up for meeting friends for coffee to just sit and chat. read more

I am not sure why this Starbucks started selling La Boulange pastries, because La Boulange is just next door. Aside from all the construction outside (not their fault), this location is pretty good. The baristas are usually upbeat, especially early in the mornings...when I am not. read more

I order ahead now so I don't even care that it's crowded anymore. Their drinks are always pretty good and sugary and I guess reasonably priced. I got the truffle popcorn from their new Starbucks evenings and it was awesome. I also love putting coconut milk in all my drinks, pumpkin whipped cream, and their morning buns. read more

Came in here on a Sunday around 3pm and there were a few people in front of us in line. Nothing really good or bad stood out for me here. My iced black tea lemonade was good! The only weird thing? Before I got to the cashier, the barista was asking everyone what their order was so she could get started on making them. Which was fine until I got to the cashier and had to repeat my entire order all over again. It wasn't a big deal but I'd never experienced that before. read more

I feel that the only good thing about this Starbucks is that it is open late. Apart of that, coffee is mediocre and no local vibe at this place. But I'm not a Starbucks fun in general. There is an outside seating and fee wi-fi that mostly overloaded with students laptops. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlingame, California

Wow I am surprised that I am the first person to review this starbucks. In fact I had to google map it to get the address because yelp didn't even have the location listed. Wow! Well, 2 things. 1. Every time I come here someone who is working here knows me. 2. If noone working here knows me then I will know someone hanging out here or hanging out in front. Coffee is normal starbucks coffee. Pros: close to doughnut shop and burlingame ave andnext to train station, some people who i know who hang out here are cool Cons: some of the people who i know who hang out here are super duper lame. read more

I wasn't feeling the rude attitude tone from Sage. Plus if you drop the pastry tongs on the floor where everyone is walking you should at least wash them. I wonder how many times that has happened? Rude tone and dirty tongs. I'm good. read more

What's so special about this one? A Starbucks like any other. For me, it's the location. I'm not a coffee drinker but I do love the MATCHA SOY LATTE. The soy is ORGANIC. I like it with extra matcha and no classic syrup (as the soy they used is already sweet enough). read more

we come here for meetings, grab a cup of coffee. If it gets really busy, I go to bext door, which is owned by Starbucks but not nearly as busy. Advantage here is that it opens late, but lots f young people at night. goos vibe read more

always freezing cold in here, unbearable. the line is always always so long - it's loud and overly crowded, and I feel like the employees are so stressed out. It's not an enjoyable experience. Meh. read more

The service was just fine but the cleanliness could use a little help. There are a lot of seats next to the bathroom and boy it did not smell great at all. I usually don't notice these things too much but this was unacceptable. How do you expect people to use Starbucks as a third home! read more

Thank you to Dellrich, Marilyn and Isaiah for working this Easter Sunday! It was the perfect way to spend Easter. This is officially my Sunday spot..and the only place I can really read on Burlingame Ave. Go figure. And the music..much better than Philz and Peets! read more

Starbucks - Easter Sunday 2017. A perfect way to spend a rainy day. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlingame, California

See all

I've been in this store a few times and it's always busy! But that doesn't affect the baristas in anyway. They are always on top of their game and produce the best drinks possible. Just had a great experience with the barista (Chef) Chen! He was kind, funny and personable. This store isn't necessarily the most convenient one for my commute but I will definitely be going out of my way to stop here on my way to work. Thank you! read more

Good service and a good location. Right in the middle of the buzzing Burlingame Ave. The coffee shop is kinda small and it can get pretty crowded specially on the weekends. There's a few outdoor seating for sipping your coffee while people watching. Lots of parking spots around so parking isn't an issue. read more

On the hunt for a gift at the J. Crew in downtown Burlingame, I stopped by this Starbucks to pick up a drink. (OK, I'll be honest, the primary purpose for visiting this Starbucks was a potty break, but I figured, if I'm here anyway, why not get some coffee too?) The interior was certainly comfortable. There are plenty of tables and chairs, plus a nice common area with a big meeting table and even a self-service customer library. I noticed this Starbucks uses Clover machines for brewing individual fresh cups of coffee, but with the chill outside, I wanted a warm chai instead--maybe next time? Service was pretty fast, and the baristas very welcoming. And the bathrooms? Well, unfortunately not the cleanest, but when you gotta go, you gotta go. read more

This is the slowest location......absent minded employees....no leadership.....a complete failure......

Really nice cute Starbucks with tons of windows. The way it is decorated reminds me of a studio space. Favorite part? It has large granite cafe table oppose to the regular small wobbly wooden ones. Perks: its a Clover/Starbucks Reserve site! It is a nice place to grab your coffee while people watching on Burlingame Ave. read more
