    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.

The coffee was fine. The staff seem to know the local regulars and chat them up appropriately. The seating it still hard and uncomfortable. I'll try again one more time to see if hey flip my bippy. 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..

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.

Their coffee tends towards a brighter, citric flavor that reminds me very much of cold brew. Which I don't care for. But others might!

Probably the chillest work/read spot in all of Escondido. Parking can be rough if downtown is busy, but only if you're adamant about needing to be very close for mobility reasons etc. Otherwise you can usually find something walkable. Beautiful, open cafe with a lovely view of the small park across the street and downtown Esco.
