    Run of the mill Starbucks although it's on the smaller side for one nowadays, no drive through as well which i find to be rare. Serve is great and same great taste.

    Mocha and water
    Antonio O.

    I work as an outside sales man and frequent many Starbucks locations all over SD. Matthew greeted me with a friendly hello, took my order and offered me a water. I believe this is the first time that has happened to me at Starbucks. As a former bartender I know any monkey can make a drink but when you're out spending hard earned money you want to be taken care of and that is exactly what Matthew gave me! A++

    Starbucks Coffee Master and manager Ryan H proud of the new Clover Vertica.
    Fabio S.

    7 years ago I posted about the addition of Clover to this mighty store, sadly it was soon gone. Today 1/10/2024 the Clover is back! The Clover Vertica is the same brewing technology but faster, efficient, and sustainable. I tried the Guatemala today and the flavor was just unrivaled. The friendly Baristas at this store would love to make you a cup of coffee reimagined. Fabio

    Homeless guy harassing people. The employees didn't mind.

    Cool place to camp. The employees aren't very attentive if you're bleeding on their floor though

    Irish cream cold brew was delicious!
    Jenna H.

    Staff here are so cheerful and funny Johnna, Gianni & Mike are welcoming and awesome!

    Fabulous joyous team!
    Vicki H.

    Love the joy even though I had sooo many custom orders! Awesome culture!! Go team!! Love the yummies and the team!

    Oatmeal? Or cup of water?
    Kevin H.

    This is the absolute worst Starbucks. I've given them multiple chances but continue to disappoint. The manager of this location needs to be fired. Drinks aren't made well, they are consistently out of things (the latest being spoons), which they told me as they hand me my oatmeal). Today's visit: Runniest oatmeal I've ever seen. Drink was ordered hot and they made it iced. Never again!

However this location was a 180 experience from Carlsbad. I order the iced mint espresso drink. I noticed the first time I had this drink they filled the cup to the top with ice which gives you less of your drink you're paying for. So I asked the girl to give me less ice. She said they couldn't do that. When asked why , her response was because that's not how they are made. We sat there going back and forth for a moment me asking why I just can't get less ice, then she said because the liquid won't fill the cup up to the top if they do less ice. But offered to top it off with water to fill it. We seemed to be getting no where so I just said make it however you guys normally make it then. She then proceeds to talk about me in front of me to the barista as they kept looking at me and laughing like I was an idiot to request less ice. Not a great second experience. My drink tasted very watered down. Next time I visit I'll happily drive to Carlsbad where they seemed to care about how you wanted your drink made to make sure you like it.

The first three things that came to mind after dining here were high quality ingredients, the customer experience/ambiance, and attention to detail. Eddie who I believe is the gentleman who runs the place was my "cashier" he provided the two recommendations photographed below (I am not a photographer) but I can tell you they were both out of this world. The Prosciutto & Fig, Toast and the Allen's Tuna Cool and Tasty. The staff was warm and inviting, and though this is a coffee shop, they came around table to table, customer to customer and asked how they were doing, and if there was anything they could do to make the experience better. You just don't see that in a coffee shop. This place is an entire experience and it's clearly built around highly effective culture. I will drive out of my way to come here, I discovered this place on a whim and will now be regular. If you get a chance, whether you're a local, or someone just visiting "Cali" give this place a try you won't regret it, ask Eddie about his story of how this place got started with him and his three daughters. I'd be willing to bet you'll add it to your rotation and become a regular yourself.
