    Happy 2024 Red Cup Day!
    Jenny C.

    Challenge accepted when visiting my local Starbucks, when I remember (of course), I love that Starbucks has made it so easy to bring my own cup. :) This Starbucks located corner entrance of plaza shared with other businesses so traffic off Bristol can be congested (particularly when exiting from the drive-thru route). The interior is a standard layout with 8+ small two-seater tables. But what really makes my recent visits stand out is the friendly service from the staff. I've got to give a special shout-out to the lead male barista, who works Friday mornings, forgot to catch his name, who's when not too busy always offer suggestions on drinks. Not only is he super friendly and efficient, but he's always happy to go the extra mile to make my "standard" iced shaken espresso a little more special. One day, he suggested adding a packet of sea salt and a drizzle of caramel -- and it was perfect. I am now a proud owner of a customized drink!! Yippee ;) I really enjoyed the slight customization so had it twice this week!

    Made a pit stop here before heading to the beach, line moved fairly quickly. The barista who took my order spoke very fast, it was a little hard to understand if she'd gotten everything right when repeating the order back to me. However when I pulled up to the pick up window everything was correct. Just wish she'd slow down a little more. I ordered my go to Starbucks drink, along with a cake pop for the kid. Everything was as expected from a Starbucks.

    On a hot day like this nothing better than a Starbucks black iced tea I like this location cuz it's easily accessible in my area only thing is it wasn't very busy when I went in today and I did have to wait a little longer than I should have just for a nice tea but I'm not going to complain to the staff

    Jo and croissant.

    Major points for being open promptly at 4;30 am Sunday morning. Ow. That had to hurt. Confections were hat and consistent. Dark roast good. I tend to patronize Peet's due to the following: Starbucks espresso machine setup rarely gives me a good crema. Today 2 shots. No crema. That sweet crema would-da make a miserable morning a lot better. Whasnt surprised. It's all Starbucks. Poor to no crema.

    Perfect color pink drink (x coconut milk)

    Consistently friendly and always gets my pink drink the perfect color pink. Always clean and again soo important is the friendly factor. :) see you soon.

    One of my favorite locations. The staff are pleasant. I usually receive my order quickly. If you have the loyalty rewards, Starbucks offers a drink of your choice on your Birthday.

    New New remodeled store .. Wow!! Very nice. (See picture inside all new store) Great location near John Wayne Airport. My order Americana & classic coffee cake. Great! Efficient inside counter order service.

    One of my favorite Starbucks to go to I like going here because of the drive thru. And it's close to my job so it's convenient. Sometimes the line is out the street so don't go during lunch! They're customer service is awwwwsome Everyone is great. You can also order on the app and pick up drive thru. Remember to ask for a free venti ice water.

    Constant drive through line.
    Taylor G.

    Honestly I only come here when I know I have 30 minutes to kill. This is the slowest location and they don't acknowledge you until you go up to them and just tell them your order or if you mobile ordered.

    Everytime ive asked for EXTRA ice this is what I get...

At the Costa Mesa location, parking was a little tricky at first, but after circling we got lucky with a corner spot. The location itself is SO cute! It's right next to colorful barrel fountains, and on a sunny day it honestly felt like the perfect coffee outing. The line was pretty long and you are standing in direct sun, so just keep that in mind, but the service was quick and efficient once you order. Inside, it's small but really charming, with Sunny Angels hidden around and a very open, friendly vibe. My sister (who is basically a professional coffee drinker at this point ) got the matcha and said it was her favorite, which says a lot. I got the iced Spanish latte with oat milk, and it was SO good. Spanish lattes are my go-to, and this one had the perfect hint of cinnamon without being overly sweet. Even as the ice melted, it still tasted great, which is rare. The Torrance location was just as good! Parking was easier, the space is bigger, and the service was still super friendly and fast. My husband got the cold brew "Nook way" and finished it in like 10 minutes. He said it tasted like Golden Grahams cereal. Highly recommend both locations and especially the Spanish latte. Definitely worth the visit!

The parking however, was VERY filled during this time. The line was huge for a 11:00am on a Friday morning. We were bummed that the QR code was not working on the very cute wooden signage outside the coffee shop while we were in line, which was a bummer. The Honey Oat Latte with oat milk was delicious. I am notorious for chugging my iced coffee but this was absolutely delicious. A sweet, subtle honey sweetness taste and the creamy oat milk was divine. My manager's Spanish Latte was so much better & I will be getting that next time! We bought our other coworker the Strawberry Matcha, which we did not try & we were worried after the fact because it did not look like it had strawberries in it, but she confirmed it was very tasty and tasted the strawberry! The outside seating areas in this outdoor area was very cute. Lots of fun art, the directory was creative, the CD tunnel was the coolest part! We also walked over to the breakfast burrito place as well. This seems like a nice area to come and relax and just people watch and enjoy a delicious iced latte from Nook.

There is limited parking but the lot was mostly empty when I visited at 8am on a weekday. I was greeted with a smile upon entry and I got in a line of about 8 people. The line would whittle down rather quickly but then would go right back up to about 8, back & forth, during the entire time I was there. Only 2 gals were working but they were like a machine, taking orders and cranking out drinks in a perfectly synchronized barista ballet. I ordered a large hot Spanish latte and chose a chocolate croissant from the pastry case. I declined having the pastry warmed as the chocolate gets melty and gooey-messy all over my hands. She informed me that the latte would have 4 shots of espresso unless I wished otherwise, but I was ready for a good case of coffee jitters. The interior is very small with 6 two-tops crammed together and a window counter with 5 or so chairs. I sat at a table. The latte was perfectly made, served at immediate drinking temperature, with a great quality coffee and a cinnamon flavor that was exactly the right strength. The croissant was fresh with plenty of chocolate inside. By the time I finished it, I looked like a three-year-old; my lips were smeared with chocolate. This was an excellent pastry.

The baristas were friendly, and I appreciated the variety of matcha offerings on the menu. I ordered the Double Pistachio Matcha, which was incredibly creamy and had a rich, authentic pistachio flavor. While I enjoyed the nuttiness, the cream was a bit too heavy for my personal preference so I couldn't taste the matcha as much. I also tried my friend's Einspänner, which was absolutely delicious and something I'd definitely come back for. Another friend ordered the Hojicha Latte, and it had a perfect balance of roasted tea flavor and sweetness. My only downside was that it was quite warm inside during our May visit. The AC didn't seem to be running, which made it uncomfortable to stay for an extended study session or hangout. Hopefully that's something they address as Orange County approaches the hotter summer months. Overall, I'm excited to return and work my way through more of their drink menu. The atmosphere, drinks, and friendly service made for a great first visit.
