I had an incredibly frustrating and frankly disappointing experience this morning that completely changed how I view this location. It started with a very simple request: an ice water and a cup of ice. I was fully prepared to pay whatever small charge was required--this wasn't about getting something for free, it was about basic service and common courtesy. Instead, I was flatly refused unless I ordered something off the menu. I was told, without any flexibility or effort to help, that it was she was "sorry" and there was "nothing I could do" leading me to believe this is a new policy. What made this even more unacceptable is the context. This location sits near a professional and medical center in a fairly isolated area, where options are extremely limited. It's hard not to feel like that convenience--and near-monopoly on access--is being taken advantage of. Denying something as basic as water or ice, especially when a customer is willing to pay, feels less like policy and more like profit over people. To make matters worse, there was zero attempt at customer care. Effort to help me navigate the situation was lacking--she could have recommend the cheapest possible item so I could still get what I needed. Just a rigid refusal. For a global company that prides itself on customer experience and community, this interaction felt cold, dismissive, and completely out of touch. Refusing such a basic request sends a very clear message: customer needs come second to squeezing every possible dollar--even in situations where a little humanity would go a long way. Truly disappointing. read more

I want to recognize a Starbucks employee who provided outstanding service today. Positive attitude, patience, and attention to detail truly stood out. Thank you for making my visit such a great experience! Eris- keep doing what you are doing. you made our day with your positive attitude. 10 stars. read more

Messed up my iced Shaken espresso twice . First gave me completely wrong shaken espresso with 3 pumps of vanilla . Which I think was someone else's since it said order 1of 2. I only ordered 1 drink . Went back and told them so they replaced it with some random sweet iced coffee drink. I asked for a shaken espresso with no sweetener, how hard can it be to understand. If you can't make a simple drink what can you do read more

Great visit to this beautiful new cafe in south Davis. Service was very kind and you can tell everyone was working hard and efficient. Loved the outdoor patio, especially this time of year. My latte was made with care and I love the coffee flavor from this roaster. Beautiful selection of pastries - special treat! Excited to come for lunch next time. read more

Abby was a superior server. She was friendly, kind, and patient. She smiled and greeted us but didn't make us feel rushed. She delivered our food to us at our table. The music wasn't too loud and we could chat. read more

This has always been one of the best run Starbucks around. It's not the closest to my home, but, quite frankly, the mace blvd store has become ridiculously awful. I try to come here when I'm on this side of town. The store has always been immaculate. I really appreciate that. Service is fantastic. They greet you when you walk in the door. That means a lot to me. Drinks come out quickly. What more can you ask for? Well, let me tell you. These guys have the most amazing mobile order pick up set-up ever. As in anywhere! One thing that is a constant frustration at the Mace store is being able to get someone's attention to pick up your mobile order. Here, they are all in easy view, right within reach, and you can just pick up your order and leave. But you know what? They still greet you. And that is flippin amazing. Five star management! Five star service! Five star cleanliness! Thank you. read more

Starbucks - Look at this pick up area! And the clean store! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

Starbucks - Iced Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

Pretty standard Starbucks Food is fine but I've definitely received cold brew here that tasted like iced coffee, so bitter / burnt They're also really inconsistent in the morning. The app will say they're open and allow you to order pick up and then you get there and the doors are locked. Fine if you have time and there's no line at the drive thru but it's meant I've wasted time having to get in line when I thought I'd just walk up and pick up my order ‍ Also at the moment the dining room is blocked off so you have to eat in your car or outside. You also can't shop their tumblers read more

The drive-thru baristas have been consistently delightful, kind and make our orders perfectly. The early morning team on 5-1-24 were an absolute joy and set the tone for a happy day for my family. We drove through for a morning treat as it was our doggy's birthday. We of course had to get a pup-cup. They made our morning really fun. The only thing I would ever suggest changing is that terrifying drop-off without a barrier!! I don't like driving in that weird drive thru. Everything is else is just wonderful read more

Shout-out to Jesse at Starbucks on Lyndell Terrace in Davis! We mostly use the Starbucks app, and I recommend it. When Jesse at the DRIVE THRU sees you driving up to the ordering window, he kindly greets you by name and lets you know your order status. Our order is always ready by the time we get to the pick-up window, and using the app ensures our drinks are always made perfectly (you enter the order yourself). And the drinks consistently taste AMAZING! That's why we love Starbucks! And thanks, again, to Jesse for the AMAZING service! read more

DONT USE THEIR DRIVE THROUGH WHEN BUSY!!! This Starbucks drive through is the worst when busy. They get rushed and cannot seem to be able to make a coffee right. Today I used their drive through and ordered two mochas and that part went well. You would think if you lay $12.50 down for two drinks you would at least get it right. Not the case here, the girl hands me my change hinting for a tip then hands me two drinks. I put them down and start to drive off and when I took my first sip something did not seem right. I ordered a venti (large) and the coffee was at the two thirds full and no whip on it at all. I look at the other one and the same. By that time I was on the freeway. If you go inside you will get a much better coffee. Don't bother with the drive through at this location it will only make you feel disappointed. read more

Cheerful baristas. Quick drive through. Extended parking lot nearby. Delicious drinks. Indoor and outdoor seating readily available. My go-to Starbucks in Davis! read more

This particular location has consistently friendly employees, both in the store and the drive thru (yes, there is a drive thru!). For that, they deserve all the stars. They're friendly and chipper! I love being served by employees who have great camaraderie and love what they're doing. There is limited parking in the lot, and it's technically forbidden to park next door at Burger King or in the parking lot of the medical offices across the street. Lots of seating! Tall tables, short tables, a comfy bench with tables and some plush chairs. If it's not finals week, seating is even more plentiful. There is a gated patio out front with umbrellas. Now that it's summer, I highly recommend one of their cold brew coffees with cold foam. The salted caramel cold foam is delicious! The foam itself is sweet, creamy, and surprisingly fluffy-looking. It melts slightly into the smooth brew below, and it's very picturesque. It's a great ice-cold drink to beat the summer heat! If you're looking for a pastry, I recommend the lemon loaf. It's moist, thick, and the sweet tang of the icing is a lovely pairing with the lemony flavor of the cake. It seems like you get great quantity and quality with this pastry. Plus, lemon is a refreshing summer flavor! read more

This location is always busy with students and hospital workers. They always been nice to me, but it can get messy and to pick up orders I stand there to wait to get helped and I feel ignored and helped another customer that gets there after me. Messed up an order just ones. read more

It is only appropriate that my 100th review is on a Starbucks location...and my favorite one at that! I was first introduced to this location during my freshman year at UCD. My friends and I came often since it is spacious and quiet. They have ample outlets, privacy, and comfortable seating. Their drinks and service are also consistently good here. They have a private lot for parking, and even a drive thru if you're in a hurry! My favorite drinks are the Peach Green Tea Lemonade and the Caramel Brulee Latte. Too bad both are seasonal drinks! I'm a bit sad I didn't frequent this location much after freshman year, since it is a bit out-of-the-way. Will definitely miss it! Side note: I've been here for the past 2 hours and I'm not freezing cold! It's nice that the temperature in here is moderate. read more

Starbucks - Panoramic view of a section of their interior - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

Staff is fine, but constrained location and the swarm of students makes it a goatrope sometimes.

My wife and I have had it with this location and the baristas it seems to me that they can't follow simple directions when it comes to making a drink. We like the iced London fog tea latte but for some reason it's too much trouble or it takes too long to make so they decide to cut corners by using the wrong tea bags. We can taste the difference. When I bring it to their attention they give me excuses and aren't apologetic. It's one thing to forget the butter or cream cheese for your bagel but to mess a drink that is costing me $5 is not acceptable. It clearly states on the menu that it's made with earl gray tea but because they are too lazy to make it they use black tea that they have ready. We tried ordering this drink at other places and they also do the same thing too. If they have trouble making a drink that's on the menu then they should be retrained or take it off the menu. I just reloaded my Starbucks card too I wish I could refund it back to my debit card because I'm going to have to buy the ingredients to make my own at home. Very upsetting and disappointed hoping management or corporate reaches out to me so that they can give me an answer to why they have such a hard time making a drink. read more

Starbucks - Follow the directions. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

Do not trust their app. I've ordered for 5/am pick up . Got their but doors are locked . Staff are not friendly about it either. I order for pick up so I can walk in and collect it off the counter with out worrying about drive thru lines . here I've been refused service at the door and told to get in the drive thru line Twice . id go elsewhere but they're the only ones open before 5am . the drive thru is also dark and unsafe to walk through on foot whvih means the sutter hospital staff have to walk back over get their cars and then drive thru. Just be honest with your corporste folks that uou can't accept mobile pick up orders . what would you do if I showed up with no car ? I don't get my coffee at all ? read more

I'm sorry, but this place needs to pick up the pace. I ordered a tall flat white on mobile and the Starbucks app said it would be a 3-7 minute wait. I showed up nearly 10 minutes after the time I ordered it and then still waited 15 minutes. That's 25 minutes! For a mobile order! There were so many people waiting around for their order and thankfully not very many people standing in line (which would have greatly added to the already impacted service). They need to seriously update the wait time on the mobile app so it better reflects what that wait time truly is. And yes, also hire more people if it is that busy in the mornings. Oh yes and don't even get me started on the parking lot. O-M-G. Talk about an epic fail. So few spaces, so hard to turn around. Waited at least 3 minutes additional just to get out of the parking lot with so many cars trying to get in and out. Not a great way to start my day. read more

My favorite Starbucks of all time. The drinks are always on point and the workers here are just so cheerful all the time. They make my Monday's so much better! A lot of space for studying away from the rowdiness read more

This place always has friendly baristas and a cool vibe for relaxing and studying. My only complaint is that 80% of the time, my drip coffee has floating crusties and/or coffee grounds, I assume from the air pots and brewers not being cleaned thoroughly enough. I have asked for replacement coffee a few times because of this, and it usually comes out the same way again. Once, the barista didn't even seem concerned or apologetic about it. Quality and consistency is important when you are paying $3 for a cup of brewed coffee. read more

Slow as hell and completely unorganized. 20 minute wait past time for the order to be ready and it still wasn't had to get a refund. Stupid.

This Starbucks is definitely not as pack as the one in downtown and Russell. I came here for the second time and surprisingly there are plenty of tables available. There are also plenty of parking spaces available. The barista are pretty friendly. The restrooms is always clean and I do appreciate they clean them pretty frequently :-). I ordered Salted Caramel Mocha. The drink taste generally the same as any other Starbucks store. In case, you do not want to stay in the store, they have a drive-thru. I will definitely come here again to study, chill or hang out. read more

I worked for Starbucks for years. It amazes me that you can't get a decaf cup of coffee because the employees are too lazy to make it. When I worked for Starbucks we always offered to make a pour over of anything we didn't have brewed. The employees here physically and verbally complain if you ask for a pour over, and literally try to lie and say they can "only do an Americano." Not sure why I would go somewhere where I'm made to feel bad about ordering a simple cup of coffee. I'm done with Starbucks. Headed to Peet's. read more

May need to write this review twice because comprehension is NOT this Starbucks staff's strong suit. Quiet unfortunate that the service was terrible and the staff was seemingly unwilling to do anything about it. They got my order wrong, remade it (begrudgingly) and made it terribly!! I was offered no types of communication of apology or understanding. Next time, I'll have to bring my order written down in hopes of them getting it correct. #dobetter #flavor #getsome read more

I think it's time I update my review for this Starbucks especially since I spend 3 days a week here! I especially love this Starbucks because it has the biggest seating area of all the Starbucks in Davis. Finally! a Starbucks where there's actually seats for me to sit down and enjoy my coffee. Although I'm not a fan of the SUPER dim lighting (especially when it gets dark), I am a fan however of the friendly service and no bitchy attitude from the barista as I take advantage of my Starbucks gold card's free refill policy :) Overall, this Starbucks definitely deserves more attention. it is by far the nicest location in all of Davis, plus has PLENTY of seats all the time and even has a drive thru! read more

Starbucks - Birthday cake pop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

IT'S STARBUCKS: Why review Starbucks of all places? This location deserves a shout out for being the cream of the crop. In fact, I find myself driving here even though I pass about two or three others on the way. PERKS: *The friendly baristas always provide service with a smile. *The sitting area is comfy and spacious. It's easy work there and there are plenty of outlets to plug in gadgets. *Nice and clean restrooms (surprisingly rare for Starbucks). *Drive-thru for the lazy days. *Convenient parking lot out front. *Front outdoor patio area where you can sit and catch some rays. PROBLEMS: My only complaint is that it can get very busy! This is merely because word is out that this is the best Starbucks location in Davis! Parking can get rough despite having a lot out front, and there's no way I'm getting in a drive-thru line if it's curving down the street! RECENT DRINK EXPERIENCE: I go for the iced green tea. It's a total addiction that satisfies my caffeine craving. The other day I ordered my standard unsweetened venti green ice tea at the drive-thru. As I drove away, I took a sip and exclaimed, "yuck-o!" because it was the sweetened version. I may have cursed a little too since it meant having to turn around. When I walked in the barista noticed me and looked puzzled. I explained to him the issue and he made me a new drink, pronto. We even bantered about how "unsweetened" sounds a lot like "sweetened" through the drive-thru speaker. Plus, for my inconvenience, he gave me a drink voucher for a free one the next time I stop by. WOW! It's those above and beyond moments that keep me coming back. read more

Starbucks - Cool lime refresher - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

This might be my favorite Starbucks ever, in both the bay and Davis area. All Starbucks are more or less the same, so it's really the service that makes the difference. Not only does this Starbucks have a drive-thru, which is super convenient, the employees who work the drive thru were super friendly and professional. The girl who took my order was friendly and patient, the guy who made and handed me my drinks took the extra step to ask me if I needed anything else before I drove away. Thank you for the lid plugs, my drinks would have definitely spilled out during my drive without them.I do not like to clean coffee stains, so I'm super grateful (: read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

Honestly this is THE BEST Starbucks I have been to. The customer service is always on point. My drinks are always correct.

As any experienced coffee drinker must admit, Starbucks, with all its popularity, has very poor coffee. If you're unfamiliar with it, let me explain. Starbucks coffee tastes burned because of a certain process they use when roasting their beans. Aside from that, this Starbucks is quiet, great for studying, and has an overall chill environment. As an added bonus, it's far enough away from the UC Davis campus that it's not constantly packed-- unlike other spots in town such as Mishka's. read more

Starbucks - A lot of seating! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

Very busy location with a lot of hospital workers coming from across the street and a lot of drive thru customers but they still manage to get out the orders pretty quickly. The staff are pretty nice regardless of how busy it gets! read more

This is my favorite Starbucks in Davis. Okay, to be honest, I have only been this one and the one in downtown, but I like this one way more! I think the baristas are better at making the coffee, and they are way friendlier. This Starbucks also has a lot of tables and outlets, so it's usually PACKED with students or people studying. It's also near a retirement home, so lots of people from there come, too, especially in the mornings and on weekends. It's pretty hard to find a spot to study here if you want a table sometimes. They have a drive-thru. But if you try to come here in the mornings the line is super long. Usually a traffic jam in the parking lot. And the parking lot allotted to the Starbucks is definitely not big enough for all the people that come here. Even if you decide to park and walk in to get your Starbucks instead of sitting in the drive-thru, sometimes you can't find a parking spot. read more

I would not even give them 1 Star each time I order from the app or go to the drive thru they screw up order all the time I always ask them for no coffee cream base stuff HOW HARD IS IT TO GET A ORDER RIGHT read more

Perhaps the safest Starbucks in the world, as we see some police officers enjoy their cups of Joe here. I really love it, as I feel really safe and protected here. Used to hang out here quite often before Covid, working on my laptop, sitting relaxed and enjoying cafe latte. More recently I like their caramel salted foam cold brew as somehow other locations just cannot make it good like here. read more

I freaking love this Starbucks in town. I'm a little bit disappointed because this used to feel like a hidden gem of Davis and I think the secret got out because it's been a lot busier recently but I'm not even mad about it. The drinks here are always on point (even when I order super annoying customized drinks), the service is super friendly, and the wait is never too long. I generally try and avoid the drive thru because it can be super busy at times (but I don't blame them for that) but when I order ahead it's usually ready in the 3 minutes it takes for me to drive here. And whenever I choose to order inside, the service is also super quick even if they're pretty busy. It can be a little out of the way, but that's what I love about it, that it's tucked away from the main action of Davis. It also is super conveniently located next to the freeway so easy to stop by at your way in or out of town! The outdoor seating is really lovely, and plentiful, and the indoor seating has tons of room for studying or just sitting and chatting. All and all, definitely my favorite Starbucks in town! read more

I've been to every Starbucks in Davis, including the ones inside Target and Safeway, and This is the only place I have issues with. I get it, you're busy dealing with the drive-through orders, but so are the other locations. At least say hi or acknowledge that I'm standing there in front of the cashier. This location is the only place in Davis that will completely ignore you for a few minutes even if you're the only one standing in line. Edit: came back to give this place another shot. I ordered a hot Venti mocha without modifications which should be $4.75, instead I get charged $5.25. Not a huge difference, but the lack of discipline is astounding at this location. I've had more positive experiences when ordering online, so I guess I'll only be coming here when I'm trying to get coffee while on the move. read more

So while I like the starbucks on Mace more, the drive through in this one goes through much quicker. The fact that the parking lot isn't timed either, makes it pretty cool. The staff here is pretty friendly, and inside of the store is nice enough... you know, like most Starbucks, the outside sitting area isn't the best though. but I get it, given that it's older. Anyways, I don't know what else would one write about a Starbucks... it's a Starbucks. you know what you're getting. read more

Just remodeled, this is the Starbucks with the best ambiance in Davis. Every seat will have an outlet in the near proximity for your laptop or whatever charger. The staff is extremely nice here, and that is the most important thing to me. I have a coffee snob and I get Starbucks because I can customize whatever I want. And if I told you what I ordered, you will probably hate me and not want to make my coffee, but I had no problem at this one! My recommendations: obviously coffee of your choice, but bring a jacket it get cold. read more
