    Passing through Escondido, ordered thru the app and dropped in to use the bathroom while we waited. Our beverages were put out on the pick-up plane and we noticed that one of the drinks definitely didn't resemble the other drinks...and they are all the same drink! I brought this to the barista's attention (her name is Ashley), she had a very condescending attitude and just said that she made all 3 the same. So I went back to the register to speak with another Starbucks partner and she referred me back to the barista who made it...who once again gave me sass about the drink being the same, didn't even offer to fix the drink so I could hit the road. At that moment I decided to just get a refund and buy my drinks elsewhere...and guess what! I did! The other Starbucks prepared my drinks perfectly with the consistency I would expect from all the other Starbucks. Ashley is very rude.

    The first time I was here, I had poor service. The cashier looked like she was tired and done with me even when I had just walked in. Maybe she had a rough day. We all have rough days. The second time I came in was on my birthday and Sam and another girl were so sweet to wish me happy birthday and wrote on my cup! It's the little things that makes my day, and they really made my day with that! About the store itself, the ambiance was standard. This is not a big enough space to study at. Thank you Sam and the other girl that worked afternoon on 9/1/24 (I think his name is Sam...)

    Seven dollar drink not failed to the top

    Place my order roughly 8 to 10 minutes from Deer Springs Road I15 before getting to this location. Always have to come in and stand and wait for my order to be completed. Today I watched her come up short on filling my drink to the top and instead of adding more liquid ingredients she ended up adding more ice to try to fill it to the top. It's rough almost paying seven dollars for a drink that they end up filling with ice more than 3/4 of the way.

    Not sure why there are so many negative reviews but I've been here a couple times and both times have been great. We typically mobile order through the app and pick up which is easy and convenient. The staff is always willing to fix our drinks if we forget to add something- which I really appreciate.

    Staff was very friendly and professional. They customized my Pistachio Latte with a birthday well wishes! Thank you!

    Stopped by here omw home from a night out with some girlfriends. It was a cold and windy evening so I needed a hot drink to warm me up. Normally I would have gone to a Starbucks with a drive thru, but this was the closest location from where I was at the time. I was able to park right in front so no biggie. There's a huge parking lot as it's in the Target shopping center. There were about 2 parties ahead of me, so I quickly looked up my secret keto Starbucks menu on the gram. Found the Hot Chai Tea and that was it!! When I ordered, Steven was very upbeat and friendly. He was more than happy to make my keto drink and even said he loved making new drinks! When it was ready, he said to taste it to see if it was to my liking. He kindly offered to tweak it for me if I needed adjustments. I always appreciate when an employee extends that amount of graciousness. He had a stevia packet ready in case I needed a little more sweetness. I tasted it and it was perfect! I thanked him and let him know I didn't need the stevia. I would stop by here again when I'm back in the area. Steven is definitely the role model barista you want to have!! Love the service with a smile! Keep up the great work, Steven, and I'll see you again soon! ;)

    Chai, yes. But no outlets. WtF.

So far two stars for they way they interacted with other. One star for the pastry and the coffee mis up and late service was a - of stars. And my picky pastry folks (she knows who she is) would say it's not a true croissant, as there are cuts across the pastry... but it's buttery and flaky..

Both drinks come with an actual slice of tiramisu on top, which surprised me, l thought it would be more like a tiramisu flavored drink with hojicha or matcha mixed in. The tiramisu itself is really good, but personally I don't think it goes well with the drink. The texture of the cake while sipping the latte feels a little off. I also tried the nitro Vietnamese coffee. It was unusual because when you hear "Vietnamese coffee" you expect something strong, but this one was light and you can really taste the milk. I really enjoyed the bubble waffle series-especially the Oreo one. It's really good. The honey toast series was okay, nothing special. I got the honey toast with ice cream, and I remember honey toast being crispy but still easy to eat. This one wasn't crispy at all and the bread was tough. Overall, this place is reall good for matcha drinks.

    Reasonably priced with generous portions, but the flavors were ultimately underwhelming…read more There were 14 flavors available during my visit, including two sorbets. While the selection was respectable, there were not many particularly unique offerings. Most leaned heavily toward familiar vanilla or chocolate based profiles. The staff was generous with samples and allowed me to try as many flavors as I wanted, but unfortunately none of the three that caught my attention truly impressed me. The espresso was perhaps the weakest rendition I have encountered. It lacked both the boldness and aroma that make coffee flavored ice cream appealing. Whether the espresso itself was too diluted or simply not brewed strongly enough, the flavor struggled to make any impact. The stracciatella featured a straightforward milk base studded with chocolate shards. While this was a very traditional interpretation without unnecessary additions, the ice cream lacked the richness and depth needed to carry such a simple flavor profile. The chocolate provided texture, but the base itself felt flat. The sour cream and brown sugar ended up being my favorite of the three, largely because the brown sugar was actually distinguishable. The sour cream contributed an unusual tanginess that made the flavor more interesting, though the balance was inconsistent. Some bites highlighted the warm sweetness of the brown sugar, while others tasted predominantly of sour cream, creating a combination that occasionally felt at odds with itself. I appreciated that the small size included two flavors, and the employee serving me was generous with the scoops. Still, this ended up being a fairly forgettable stop. Those who enjoy gelato with bold, inventive, or highly concentrated flavors may find the offerings here a bit too restrained.

The shop looks really nice inside, thoughtfully decorated, albeit somewhat uncomfortable chairs. I elected to sit at the bar but still had to order at the counter, that's ok. I was given a number sign that was never retrieved. Service was satisfactory, yet somewhat impersonal. I was there for about an hour, watching lunch time service unfolding. They were nice and busy but not suitably staffed for the orders it seemed. Everything just happened at a rather slow, methodical pace. I did observe a few patrons come up to the counter inquiring about their orders and complaining the soup was cold. I ordered the "California Club" sandwich, made with turkey, bacon, swiss cheese, avocado, tomato, red onion, pesto and mayonnaise. Comes with your choice of soup or salad. The sandwich itself was good overall. An appropriate amount of sliced turkey, tasty, crispy bacon on a substantial, dense bread with a nice chew. If there was avocado, it was completely indiscernible. Maybe it was smeared in with all the green pesto, I don't know. The salad was tasty, although haphazardly presented and excessively dressed. Since this place offers wine, I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. It was served in an elegant, tall stemless glass, unfortunately at room temperature. There is one restroom here, somewhat unkempt. In summary, a nice neighborhood spot with a classic coffee shop vibe.
