I was running an errand at Lowe's and afterwards decided I wanted some coffee. I did a Yelp search to see what was the nearest coffee spot. It happened to be this Starbucks. I didn't even know it was in this little strip mall near Staples. I drove over and parked right in front. When I walked in, this Starbucks instantly felt different. I'm not sure why, but it felt more welcoming and individual. I love that they have all the city mugs on the back wall. That's a cool touch. I walked up to the counter and easily ordered my beverage. The guy who helped me was very friendly and quick. I waited a few minutes for my drink and I was on my way. My drink tasted as it should. I will definitely come back. I wish it had a drive through but I like going in and just sitting sometimes and the drive thru might detract from its welcoming feeling. read more

I came here on my lunch break and the place was completely empty. The employees were very friendly, though, and even though I was just there to pick up my mobile order, they still wished me a great day and said thanks for coming in. I really appreciated that friendly greeting since you don't always get that kind of response at places like this! My mobile order pickup was super easy and of course, my drink (iced matcha latte) was delicious as expected. They have a pretty big seating area here which is good for working or just coming to hang out. read more

Great location, big parking lot, clean, staff is very friendly, consistent coffee no matter the location you go to, that is how you keep customers coming back. This location looks a lot like most Starbucks, probably on the newer side compared to some, very nice inside and out, inviting a good place to work, relax or grab some coffee to go. Used the Mobil app as I always do so I don't have to wait, just walk In, grab my drink and I am on my way, convenient and highly recommended to save having to wait around for 5 minutes or so. You can also build up points to get free drinks or food, which is a bonus. Of course there are Starbucks everywhere so you won't have trouble finding one to get you coffee fix anytime or anyplace you are. Enjoy! read more

great service but terrible at making drinks!!!! Me and my sister drove all the way here to look for me and my recently passed away fathers cat and it wasnt our dads cat so we decided to get starbucks. I ordered mocha cookie crumble and i BARELY got any of the drink i only got whipped cream and no crumble cookie and my sister ordered a strawberry acai and it only came with ice and water with heavy cream it was disappointing and disgusting. read more

They're in a nice spot next to other food restaurants, and near businesses. I like their outdoor seating, but they don't have a drive thru, which is probably for the best because I waited 10 minutes for a black hot coffee. The staff seems easily overwhelmed, with the to go orders and mobile orders. If I have time and can wait a long time for a cup of coffee I'll come back but it's definitely not my go to unfortunately read more

I've been coming to this Starbucks location more often lately because the baristas are always so friendly and have always executed my orders perfectly! The cafe is more cozy than most other locations, the outdoor patio is surrounded by lots of greenery and it's always very clean. I keep coming back for the environment. Paige was very sweet and overall there's such positive energy in here! Thank you Loker ave baristas! read more

Stopped by to grab a cappuccino on my way to San Diego, such a welcoming environment. As I entered I was greeted warmly and placed my order immediately. The store was clean and tidy and both the young gentleman and the lady barista were super friendly. read more

I normally don't review chains like this but the customer service here is outstanding. One weekend I was sitting and doing work for close to 2 hours and the manager on duty thanked every customer by name as they left. I found it impressive as they even remembered mine after sitting for two hours and having dozens of people come and go in between my order and departure. The staff is always incredibly nice. Even though there is no drive thru, they pump out the food and drinks very quick. read more

Great location, great customer service! Staff is always friendly and helpful. This location does get very busy during the week. Parking isn't the best as it is located on the corner of a shopping center but I prepare for that. read more

Did not greet customers, got my order wrong, and did not let us know when our order was done. We had to ask for our black coffee because it was missing. When we got to our grand daughter's game my turkey bacon sandwich only has eggs in it. I just didn't like the vibes from this place. read more

This is one of the best Starbucks. Staff super friendly, warm and shop is always very clean! Love this place!

KUDDOS to Ashley for taking my call and helping me with an issue I encountered! She was polite and very helpful! This location is probably the busiest but my drinks have always been perfection! Thank you to Ashley and all the employees of this location! :) Great customer service is always memorable and goes a long way! read more

Unlike growing up in the 70s, most places don't have a personal feel like they did in the old days. But this Starbucks is different. We always go there at the same time on Saturday afternoons and we're always welcomed with a warm greeting as well as dozens of other people - feels like a small town coffee shop read more

If I choose Starbucks, it's typically because I know that they consistently deliver exceptional coffee and good service. However, this location is a step-up from the rest. The staff here is always outgoing, patient and very friendly, even during the morning rush when a large number of people are eagerly grabbing coffee on their way to work. This café has a spacious interior layout and an outback patio with tables, chairs and umbrellas. Bonus points: At this location they sometimes have a daily riddle posted at the pick-up counter which can help keep you occupied while waiting for your order. (Maybe I'm easily impressed, but I appreciate the effort here.) read more

Wow had to come give a shout out to Gio and the blonde woman at the drive thru window (wish we got her name!). It's Thanksgiving and they were so funny, sweet and wonderful! What a great start to our holiday and so grateful to them for working on Thanksgiving and making our day! Best customer service I've ever seen! Thank you! read more

You know, Starbucks gets a lot of flack about all kinds of things. This was a trip that surprised me, and made me smile! The cashier/barista was a tall younger guy with brown hair! He was SO nice and welcoming, and fun to interact with. I had to leave a review because he was so good and blew away probably the last 50 times I've been in a Starbucks! read more

Will someone look into why your brewed iced coffee tastes so different from other locations. It tastes so off like it came in contact with the fruit refresher pitcher. read more

As a Starbucks addict, I think I have the authority to say that this is a top-tier one. The drinks here are consistently great and the staff is super nice. It is a busy Starbucks, but I've never had an issue finding a place to sit and work. So sad it's not my local Starbucks near work anymore, but it's always a delight to come back and visit. 5/5. read more

We are not local to Carlsbad but were in town for the weekend. We decided to stop by this Starbucks location (which is located about a mile from McClellan-Palomar Airport) for a quick breakfast bite. The customer service here is great, but the one employee who stood out was Bee. Bee was so friendly all the while being efficient at multi-tasking. read more

Dealing with Leo . has been nothing short of exhausting. He regularly purchases the cheapest items, complains about them endlessly, yet continues to return. His behavior is disruptive, unprofessional, and frankly, disrespectful to the hardworking staff and other patrons. Some customers come to enjoy good food and community--Leo seems to come looking for problems. Businesses deserve fair and reasonable customers. Unfortunately, Leo doesn't meet that standard. read more

Where else can you sit and watch planes land and fly over you on their approach to Palomar Airport? I discovered the view as I drove by on Palomar Airport Road. I saw the umbrellas in the back of the Starbucks on the hill facing runway two-four (240). I needed a coffee so I stopped in. They have a decent sized patio with 3 or 4 umbrella'd tables overlooking the approach. Pretty bad ass! Only problem is several people also know about this spot and are lackadaisically working on their laptops and cell phones. Seating is limited. I walked from the Starbucks back patio down the back path to another business (Phô) at the other end of the building that too has a large patio with tables and chairs for customers to sit. As I was checking that out a Lear jet had approached on its landing pretty low and it scared the crap outta me. Kinda loud, but then again it ain't nothin' compared to the flight deck. The approach is directly over head of this patio. Most of the other planes were smaller and had a much higher approach. There are also a few other restaurant type businesses in the same building of the strip mall so those businesses' employees use the back path between the two patios for smoking and talking (some loudly) on their phones etc. Almost sketchy as all of the back doors of these places are open and you can see in. There ain't no place to run back there, but it is landscaped nicely. The south side of Starbucks is also landscaped exceptionally well. It makes for a nice retreat. Do stop in and grab a cup for yourself and a cake pop for the grandkids. They'll love the view. Dicks read more

Super disappointed! I called the day before to order 2 boxes of coffee for our office. They didn't even have it started! We made it clear we wanted it by 8:15 AM. The person who took the order didn't give them a pick up time. I left them 2 phone numbers to call. No one even thought of calling to ask us since they didn't give them the time we requested. Now we are late for our office opening. Never again will we go to this Starbucks. Big fail!!! I'd give no stars for this place, but the app requires at least one!!! Thank you, Ashley for making it as soon as you could. Sorry the person who took the call did this to you. read more

Terrible Service. This is the slowest Starbucks I go to in the county of San Diego. Its takes way to long to just get a tea!

Took 21 minutes to get a drink. Only one person working, several team members were doing other tasks like getting trash and cleaning tables. Too often the wait here is excessively long. I like the staff but the wait times are not worth it. read more

Great customer service here with an emphasis on mobile orders, meaning they don't leave you im the abyss on whether or not your order is ready because you cant see the many cups and bags waiting to be picked up. They call your name and if they see someone who's been waiting a bit, they check in with you. They also love fur babies! I've witnessed some regular fur babies come in and immediately be greeted with a puppuccino! And heres a fun fact, they've never run out of tye Double Smoked Bacon Cheddar and Egg sandwich. Its pretty busy in the mornings so leave out early or mobile order your drink ahead of time! P.S. To the patrons that don't mind twirling other customers cups looking for your name or handling sandwich/pastry bags that may belong to someone else, please just ask the friendly Starbucks crew. Imagine having the items you're going to eat or drink fondled by 5-10 strangers before you could grab it? read more

I really do like this location however... here it's says they are open till 7pm. Their app says 6:30om and here I am at 4:30pm on a Weds and the door is locked and closed. There are employees inside, but door is locked and they just looked then looked away. I don't get it.... If they changed their hours they should update the app at least. So... off to "my" Starbucks off Tamarack Ave read more

NEWLY REMODELED!!! THEY HAVE NITRO!!! This store is much more "airy", sleek, modern and has the feel of the Pike Street Roastery in Seattle. The condi bar is right by handoff now that there's ample room. A bit sad the bar sitting is gone, but it's entirely more functional from a partner standpoint which means their ability to help you and keep things stocked and clean is significantly less daunting. From an aesthetic view, I LOVE THE HONEYCOMB tiles! Amen to no more subway tiles. Go say hi to Alex (manager) and the team today! read more

Nice location with two cashiers working . The guy taking my order wasn't the sharpest but Olivia came in to save the day . I ordered an americano with steamed half n half that they were going to charge me for . Olivia said no and just prepped a very good tasting hot americano for me (with steamed cream ). The order came out quick . There's three high seats for the bar type seating . Fun place to sit and watch the baristas churn out drinks for customers. Mobile pick up is located in front. So are the sugars and milks . read more

Excellent by the Starbucks standard: great ambience, helpful staffers, quick turnaround. Was uncrowded at 1PM on Thursday.

This location is great. Taco shop next door too...so one stop shop for breakfast! Staff here is super friendly and on top of it.

There are 2 starbucks from my work... Same distance. I prefer to come to this one because they're quick and fast. You have 2 barista's making the drinks vs other places where there's only 1 barista. Sometimes I'm about to sit to wait for my drink but the drink is made so quick that I don't even have time to sit and check in Haha. Friendly staff! read more

Have to agree with those who say this is one of their favorite Starbucks. It's right along Palomar Airport Road, but it's set back from the road and from the back patio you get a great sunset view over the airport. Robin sat outside and calmed Joey down so he wouldn't hyperventilate while I went inside and got my drink, and then we both relaxed and chatted and watched the beautiful sunset from the back patio. Coffee+chat+ sunset = nice evening activity. read more

My favorite coffee! Every morning is a grande pike. It's the best coffee and consistency is good all the time .

This is the first time I've spoken with a Starbucks manager who seemed indifferent to making a customer happy. My iced coffee cup was cracked in half and dripped on over my pants, blouse, the center console and made a huge mess on me and in my car. My receipts for work, soaked! My dental packages, soaked!!! When I called to tell Alex, the manager that the plastic cup was cracked, her statement that products fail seemed snarky. How about saying, I'm so sorry our product failed and the cup broke. Please come back and let me give you a $10 card. You can get a drink whenever or where-ever you would like for the inconvenience. Instead, I heard, you can come back. Meh, we'll give another drink. And that's all you can do, yes, that's all I can do....silence. I'm not feeling the Starbucks Customer service. read more
