This review is solely for their merch selection. I have been going around Oakland and good part of SF to try to spend my rewards but did not have much luck in finding a store with variety. This location on 65th & Hollis has a good spread, with items from the past holiday (though not on sale). Will try stopping by here next when I need to use any expiring rewards. read more

Starbucks - Merch shelf - Winter 2026 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Emeryville, California

Read the reviews while I was eating and, gotta say, I believe they may be true. My experience was five stars though. My macchiato was clean with solid proportions. My sa switched well crispy. Starbucks has tables and a short wait. The other eateries on its corner either had a very long wait (30 min for Los moles) or 25$+ starters for the other two places I checked in my way before setting on Starbucks for lunch. TLDR: Seems fine. Maybe I just got lucky with new cute staff but I'd come back. read more

Great spot if you work near by or on a walk, they have decent seating area with charging areas, not a ton of foot traffic so it's a great spot to study or work on your laptop. And bonus that they have limited edition items like a moka pot for sale at this location. read more

Starbucks - Got a green tea Frappuccino and a limited edition holiday moka pot from this location! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Emeryville, California

Nice little Starbucks with fast friendly service. Clean open dining room. One power plug next to a table. I guess that's better than nothing. Coffee was good. read more

This Starbucks is the best in the area by far!! It is quick and clean, not to mention all their workers are very friendly. Adriana especially was so kind. I ordered a strawberry refresher and she made it deliciously. Out of all of them that I tried, this one was amazing. 10/10 service, 10/10 drinks, and a 10/10 environment!!! I will be coming back!! read more

Any Starbucks open daily at 4:39am gets 5 stars. The friendly service is just a serious bonus. Bus stop across street, close to all shopping... read more

Cassie was such a patient Barista! We've always stop at this Starbucks on our way home from San Francisco to Sacramento. We've stopped at the other Starbucks off the I-80 freeway and they were either out of mocha for Frappuccino or not very friendly. Our two Mocha venti was perfect! We brought in our own cups and Cassie gave us mugs to put our cups in as she's supposed to! My husband asked for the restroom code and it was 6 digits and being a senior citizen and hearing impaired, she was patient and wrote the code down in large numbers! Kudos to Cassie and the Barista that was working with her! read more

This location was really clean. There was no one in line. The lady at the register was really nice. I ordered a chaibtea latte with vanilla foam which was good. I ordered a everything bagel but was given a plain bagel. The wait was a little longer than usual but it seems like they had mobile orders. read more

Just got my coffee. They had a sample of their new coffee and offered to me. It's delicious. Macadamia cold brew (longer name but forgot the rest). The baristas are very sweet. Had big smiles and were just very nice. Added a photo of the drink for reference read more

Starbucks - Amazing - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Emeryville, California

I did a mobile order and because I was not familiar with the area it went to the wrong location I was sitting and waiting for the order and I quickly realized that my order was not coming and asked if this was the right location. Adrianna was so sweet she confirmed that I ordered at the other location and was super quick to make my drink for me so that I wouldn't have to go to the other location and the drink was perfect! It was a very chill vibe there and the two working just had a very friendly and efficient vibe to them. read more

This Starbucks makes me so sad. The baristas here are so bad that i drive away from my home alllll the way in the other direction every morning to get coffee. When i moved to this neighborhood i was looking forward to having a Starbucks so close to my condo. What a disappointment!! The chai and matcha are water. I order oatmeal for my commute, no sugar, nothing..... no spoon! Sighhhh. The staff is surly. It's not a good time. I thugged it out over here for 2 years. I deserve better, off to Christie street i go! read more

My favorite local spot. They know me by name and treat me well when I visit. I'm a peach green tea lemonade guy. Get the trenta and a breakfast sandwich. read more

2/5 STARS SLACKBUCKS So I live in the apartments where this Starbucks is located and as a loyal customer, I always go here. I have gone in the mornings, evenings, mid-days; at all points of the day. This review is based on the mornings, which is the most crucial time of the day. 1. People want their drinks or breakfast 2. We have to go to work. Recently moving to Emeryville and recently landing a job, I integrate my starbucks routine in the morning to give myself enough time to place an order and get to the Emery-Go-Round. I have been coming here over the past month and recently I have been having issues with the new morning staff. The men have always been on it with working and doing their job as fast as they can, but the women in there (I should probably get their names) are such slackers. The best feeling as you approach the glass doors is to see one person or no one in line. The past couple times, that has happened to me so I would expect quicker service, nope. My expectation was definitely not nearly met. Only person in-line (7 minutes for a breakfast sandwich) One person in front of me (8 minutes for tea) The reason why they are so slow is because the barista is just singing and talking to her other co-workers. She takes her time walking behind the counter and has to look at the cup multiple times to figure out what she's doing. If she just focused and did her job it would be done faster. I just get annoyed when people are taking longer than they should and I have a bus to catch. Hopefully over time she learns to work at a normal pace or switch her out to a shift where people wont be waiting longer than they should. read more

Starbucks - Wrong item - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Emeryville, California

I wish I could give zero star. Horrible service. The staff was super rude. And I ordered something online half hour ago. The food was not ready when I arrived and the staff was SLOWLY working on the orders. When I asked about the order status, the staff was so rude and showing no care at all. Will not come to this store forever. read more

I stopped by this location for a quick drink and a bite to eat. Unfortunately, it was anything BUT quick! I waited in line while the cashier helped two women in front of me, which took quite some time to get their orders right, to ring them up, and to scan their phones for payment. This was all while a second employee, without an apron, walked from in front of the cash wrap -- around me -- and made a free drink for her boyfriend who was standing in front of the cash wrap. When she was done, I tried to get her attention to ask if they had any breakfast sandwiches left, since there were none in the bakery case -- but she ignored me and walked to the back! When I finally ordered, it took just as long to get my drink! The barista didn't seem to understand the order of the two women who had been in front of me -- blended versus unblended refreshers -- and took a reallly long time to discuss the order after giving it to them. By the time I got my drink, the only other person who had been in line behind me received their drink at the same time as I did! Apparently, the barista made his drink at the same time as my drink! On top of this, my drink wasn't even properly made, but I had already left the store by the time I tried it and I didn't want to wait even longer for them to re-make it! With all of the coffee shops to choose from -- let alone all of the Starbucks locations in the area -- I will not be back to this one. read more

This is the worst Starbucks store I have ever been. Service is super slow, staffs are impolite and Unprofessional (oh both times I came in the early morning before 8am. Not sure if that matters) . I had a meeting to go and since there was a long line even I had my Mobil order in, I told them I had to cancel. They said I have to wait for that too. I left for my meeting without waiting for them to process, they did not cancel for me and charged me. So horrible. Compared to this store, the one located inside the Powell plaza is much much better. Staffs are always very friendly and efficient. read more

I LOVE this location. In every category, this location is better than all other Starbucks in the Oakland / Emeryville / Berkeley area. Staff: They really care. Space: Big beautiful windows. Always mostly clean. Managers: Strong leadership. Bathroom: Always clean. Wifi: Strongest in the entire area. Patrons: This location very rarely has any homeless or crazy patrons. Community: I really appreciate this space as a hub for Emeryville workers and residents to connect. Transportation: There's a popular Emerygoround stop outside. Some reviews have complained about speed, but if speed is important to you, place your mobile order 5-8 minutes before arriving. They usually make mobile orders even faster than that. I'm very grateful for this location. read more

Staff friendly and consistently polite; Always greeted with a warm "Welcome!" which is very nice. I do wish the store was bigger, but it's a great place to stop for a quick coffee break! read more

Starbucks - After I took out ice - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Emeryville, California

I order from here often. A couple times a week at least. The last 6 visits I have had a craving for white hot chocolate. 5 of those times they gave me regular hot chocolate. Since I walk home before drinking it, I notice too late. Today I was going to check but decided it had to be right. Nope! I pay extra and get the regular anyway. Not even whole milk. I give up. read more

Starbucks - Order clearly shows white hot chocolate and whole milk. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Emeryville, California

I've been coming here for a year now and it took me a while to get use to the staff. Like I had mentioned in my first review the service was a hit or miss. After coming here for over 8 month I noticed the staff started to recognize I was a regular and they were friendlier. My drinks started to come out more accurate and everything seemed to go smoothly. I guess every Starbucks is run differently and sometimes it just takes time to adjust. Overall the service has improved here and I hope they keep up the good work. Thanks for all the yummy morning drinks Starbucks! read more

Absolutely excellent customer service at this location. This morning I ordered a "tall" cappuccino with two espresso shots. I expected a much larger container, but realized my mistake when I was told that "tall" is the smallest size, haha. Even though this was totally my error, the staff made me another "venti" cappuccino free of charge AND let me keep the small one. That will get you more business in my book. Well done read more

This used to be my Starbucks, and I never really appreciated them when I was there. I have since moved to Alameda, and I miss my crew. This Starbucks always keeps the line moving, and the staff is super friendly. read more

Staff didn't have any sense of urgency, especially the cashier. All I ordered was tea and it took over 20 minutes and it wasn't even busy. On top of all that they didn't even have a positive attitude. I ended up just getting a refund because I couldn't wait any longer. So unfortunately I didn't get my tea and I was 15 minutes late to work bummer! read more

Thanks so much to all of you, especially Ashley, for setting a great tone at this Starbucks. My last review was unfair and unnecessary. I'm so glad you reached out to me and took time to talk. That really impressed me and I am humbled by your courage. I want to offer my heartfelt apologies to you all and especially Ashley. Thank you for reaching out to me and for setting me straight. I really appreciate you guys and the way you set the tone for my day and the great, consistent service each day. Sorry I lost my mind there for a minute. read more

Google maps says they open at 4am. They don't open till 4:30. Kinda needs to be changed on the map.

So....I just ordered a matcha drink and I got this weird/unfinished drink.... lumps of matcha powder on the bottom. read more

Parking tip: The red curb is almost never policed. I got one ticket for using it as a "pick-up zone" in two years. If that's full, there's another red curb that's only no parking one Monday out of the month for street sweeping, but no one reads the sign so it's always empty ;) Great location, great staff. Sometimes you have to wait a bit for mobile orders if you're getting a complicated drink, but the staff is *on their game*, and gets drinks out quickly and efficiently. Very friendly, too! read more

Friendly staff, prompt service! Order was accurate and next to no wait for the our items.

When you have a new item on your menu called 'SALTED caramel hot chocolate' and you hand me one without the required Sea Salt, then I ask for it and you give me fucking attitude like it's my mother fucking fault that you ran out of sea salt and charged me $3.25 for a dinky fucking hot chocolate with caramel squirted on it, you're wrong bitch..WRONG! No more of my bucks for you and no more stars! read more

I'm a software engineer. It's an occupation that requires an analytical mind and mad problem solving skillz. It's also involves a lot of "cutting and pasteing". (Shut up, I know I spelled "pasteing" incorrectly). Anyhow, after an entire afternoon of "cutting and pasteing", the mind starts to wander. Daydreaming ensues. Wow, that new girl in Accounting is really cute. I wonder if she knows who I am. Maybe I can find an excuse to go over and talk to her. Man, my eyes hurt from staring at this computer screen all day long. OMG, is that her name in the employee contact list. I've got an extra special 'cut and paste" job for you, baby doll. I'm thirsty, think I'll head to the Starbucks. As I walk in, there she is, my Accounting dream woman standing in line waiting for a $5 cup of coffee. I start to get nervous. Her: Oh hi, aren't you one of the engineers? Me: (Gulp) Uh huh Her: That's so cool! My boyfriend is an engineer too! Me: That's nice... The moral of the story? All the good ones are taken, and the coffee is really expensive at Starbucks. But there IS free wireless, which is nice. A great place to get your "cut and paste" on. 3 stars. read more

Love this Starbucks location. Have grown to know the staff and they all do a wonderful amazing job in service in customers in the area. I'm usually in 1-2 times a week and always greeted as I walk in. read more

Much to my surprise and disbelief, this joint was brimming with business. This is what happens when you have no competition; people patronize this place because there's nowhere else to get coffee in this neighborhood and Peets is on the other side of the tracks. Business opportunity here! Hurry! Today, it was barely 9 am and they were out of sausage, egg and cheddar sandwiches! Not even a busy, tourist-infested Starbucks at the entrance to Chinatown in the city would run out of imitation mcMuffins. I had to order a different sandwich that was 20 cents more. Sucked! Then, the sandwich heater-upper dude just threw the 'wich into a bag and didn't even bother finishing the packaging to comply with what the Starbucks branding police specified. Where's my black bellyband sticker thing? Sloppy! Anyway, I wanted to park my ass there with my laptop while waiting for my car which was in the shop nearby getting its rearend checked out...But there's no free wifi, except for tmobile's ripoff service that only people with corporate accounts sign up for. Ridiculous! And even if you have the funds to pay for a $40 per month tmobile wifi hotspot pass, good luck "working" at this location, because there's only ONE electric socket, accessible by 2 tables. Craptacular. read more

First of all, they are quick with their orders. When it's the morning rush, they immediately start taking orders from customers who are waiting in line for efficiency! Love it. Also, they are very friendly and upbeat. Great service. read more

Looks like this place has turned around since last year's reviews. I'm new to town, and this coffee shop is stumbling distance from my place. Haven't met an employee yet that isn't happy to whip up a batch of extra bold life saving java for a fella in need. The 5th star goes to the wonderful girl that saved my forgotten vest for me. Talk about making a good impression! I know I can get good coffee just about anywhere. I mostly enjoy the service and smiling faces of this particular starbucks. I've hit the other one's within 10 miles in any direction, and they just don't hold up. read more

It's only suiting that my first ever yelp review is of Starbucks, as I've been a fan since the 1990s. I value the establishment for their efficiency, customer service, and willingness to customize drinks. Most days thinking about my tall americano or caramel macchiato helps me get out of bed. I lived at The Courtyards for about 6 years so it was wonderful having this Starbucks right downstairs. The workers were always friendly, free wi-fi to do work while I enjoyed my coffee, and the drinks were pretty consistent. One downside though, they close pretty early. read more

Needed a place to chill for an hour or two, so I decided to get some work done here. Since it's Welcome Week at Cal, I wanted to avoid all the hordes of undergrads at the cafes near campus. This place is pretty tiny with an OK amount of seating. They also have seating outside for nicer days. Plenty of outlets for laptop chargers too. Free wi-fi also. By 4, all of the seating inside was occupied. Service was friendly and fast. Iced soy chai was all right. Parking wasn't too bad on a weekday afternoon. Probably better to walk though. read more

I had a positive experience at this cafe store. Appreciate the friendliness and efficiency. They're quick. The mobile order option is nice and they really make that simple even during the busy morning. read more

I was there at first time and I ordered as usual green tea frappuccino with cream on top. And it was good, I mean tasty, because sometimes in other places it was not really good. Service was nice and fast and friendly. It seems like they have regular customers because they were talking like old friends :) Why is it 4 star? My plastic cup was leaking... :( next time will close tightly. :) read more
