I come to this Starbucks every morning, and I always feel welcomed by the whole team. A special thank you to Salma for her warm smile, kindness, and thoughtful messages on my cup that brighten my day. She truly goes above and beyond, and Starbucks should recognize and appreciate her for being such a wonderful employee. It's the little things that make this location special, and I truly appreciate the great service from everyone. read more

Update since my last review over ten years ago... This Starbucks recently went through a complete renovation (their 3rd one) about a year ago. The space is more bright inside, but with less space/tables in general. There's a row of tables and booth-style seating against the wall, as well as a long, communal table in the middle of the lobby. The space definitely has more light than the previous renovation (which was actually this Starbucks's second renovation). That said, there was a guy camping out during the time I was here - occupying three of the booth spaces and tables with all his stuff spread out. The employees didn't seem to mind. There are the three order status screens now showing orders placed, in progress, and ready - something I notice a lot of other Starbucks are moving towards now that they are aiming to be more mobile-friendly. Good selection of food options here - full assortment of their pastries and sandwiches. Staffing is solid - there was practically no wait for me to place my order. I ordered a Mango Dragonfruit Refresher - I wasn't aware that if you opt to work in the cafe, they serve your drink in glassware (vs. a to-go cup). Ugh. Guess I'll have to finish up work while in the cafe. Restrooms are cleaner now - it used to be two unisex restrooms, but now there is a Mens and Womens restroom. Parking is still messy as ever - in the Costco shopping center. read more

Like many coffee places, this one is just as packed and full. I did mobile order for an Americano and the estimated time was 15 minutes, not too bad. I do love the designated "pick up" section of the cafe. There is a giant screen with the order status so you can see where your order is. My order moved to processing in the 15 minutes, but still a while until it was ready. Aside from the longer wait time, I appreciated the ease of ordering and pick up process. The place was a pretty good size and seating was a little hard. The staff were definitely non stop busy and working very hard. read more

Very nice atmosphere. Unfortunately my order was all over the place if not I'd give them a 5 star! Forgot my food, stood there trying to get attention for a few minutes, and both of the requests I had for my drink did not happen :/ bummer read more

*** 2025 review #23 *** Starbucks always come through when I'm on the road and need a comfy place with a warm or cold drink + yummy bites to get some work done while waiting for traffic to ease up. This Starbucks exceeded our expectations! Renovated a year ago, it's spacious with lots of super comfy seating. And the staff is super friendly and attentive, welcoming every single person who comes through the door with a cherry "welcome!" #protip Gotta LOVE the complementary coffee/tea refill as long as you stay to enjoy "in café" -- did you know you can order a hot coffee, and later switch to a complimentary refill of hot tea? Perfect to stay warm as it's oddly chilly tonight. read more

If you go early like at 7:45am you're bound to get a seat for you to work at on your laptop however if you get here passed 8:20 good luck finding a place to sit. It was very fast service despite how busy they are. People just walking in and out like it's an airport. There's about maybe four or five good seats with outlets. Other than that it's best to charge your laptop beforehand. I got a delicious oatmeal with steamed 2% milk and added a splash of half and half. I got blueberries, almonds and brown sugar to add. They also gave me cranberries and raisins but i personally don't like those in my oatmeal. I also asked if they could make my bus coconut macchiato hot and they said yes so that was sweet! The drink was sweet but I forgot to modify so that was my fault. There's plenty of parking and this Starbucks is huge on the inside. Restrooms were clean, there are two stalls in the women's restroom and no code needed (finally) that was always something annoying as baristas are super busy to be asked for a restroom code. read more

As a fellow Korean, I was deeply disturbed by what happened at this Starbucks today. A simple black coffee was ordered. Yet when the cup was handed over, it had "yellow!!" written on it. There was no drink modification called "yellow." No clothing reference. No logical explanation. "Yellow" has a long history as a racial slur directed at Asians. That is not a neutral word in this context. Seeing it written on a cup given to an Asian customer is alarming. Whether this was meant as a joke or something worse, it reflects a serious lack of awareness -- or something far more concerning. Customers should never have to question whether they are being singled out because of their ethnicity. This incident deserves a clear explanation and accountability. Management needs to investigate this immediately. read more

I came here on an afternoon after a long day of work. Got myself a usual Venti Strawberry Matcha Frap and greeted by Christian, a cheerful gentleman. He's a very friendly barista. Enjoyed my cup with a smoothing background music. I highly recommend this place! 5 star for sure ! read more

Starbucks - Strawberry Matcha Frappucino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Went in to try the protein cold foam and celebrate national coffee day! Typical starbucks coffee, oat milk adds a nice body with the more bitter coffee. The cold foam by itself has a distinct protein powder taste and the sweetness of a cold foam. Once mixed into the drink you can barely taste it. It seems they have a protein milk/cold foam made and powder flavors added in (not ultra filtered milk) . Julie, the cashier, had amazing customer service and answered my questions. She suggested the banana one as the best flavor! read more

The staff is so sweet. This Starbucks is always busy. But the staff gets all the orders out quickly and they still make sure the order is done consistently and correctly! The white chocolate mocha is my favorite. And I love the seasonal special Holiday drinks they have! read more

This Starbucks has such friendly employees. They all were helpful and worked quickly. I came in one night 10 minutes before closing and they still made me feel so welcomed even when I felt bad coming in late. I really like the aesthetics and the seating here. One of my favorite locations to come in and sit! read more

Needed a quick caffeine fix and tada, there's always a Starbucks around for just that. Placed a mobile order while I drove over. Was surprised at how large of a space they had. Must get extremely busy. Looks like mobile orders are the main business here with their large digital display on the wall and alphabetized countertop. My order (which consisted of two simple drinks) was ready to go within maybe 5 minutes and I was out the door. I appreciated the smiles and friendly service from the two baristas who were clearly overwhelmed with orders. read more

Couple bad apples with bad attitudes. Ask for a remake and they take it personally. Ask for a "pup cup" and wait 10 minutes on top of having to wait in line to order said "pup cup". I drink Starbucks daily and I will no longer do so thanks to this store. This used to be my top 3 Starbucks locations to go to and they make me feel less than and have terrible vibes. If I could give no stars, I would have read more

After watching the movie, we decided to try the Wicked inspired Starbucks drinks. Both were a one and done for us. Between the two drinks, we liked the Glinda's Pink Potion better (forgot to take a photo). It was more refreshing but very sweet. Elphaba's Cold Brew tasted heavier and the added peppermint flavor gave it a holiday touch. read more

The ladies behind the counter was so sweet and nice . But the manager ( I think that's what she was ) . She was stalking up the cups on the shelves was a bit rude . Kinda odd response really. I was telling her something about if she ever Meets the ceo . Or who ever is in charge of Starbucks to let them know about the cups not keeping the drinks cold enough. But her response was rude . Even my partner just looked at her like ok ur rude . Ya not coming back to this location. She was in regular clothing . Didn't seem nice at all. If u don't want to work . Or show a good example to ur team. Them pass the job to someone else . I said what I said . read more

Quick service and good area since there's plenty of parking and seating inside and outside but the blended strawberry lemonade was alright. It's more tart than expected which I liked but my friend mentioned it was too sour for their taste. read more

Hailey is true gem of a human. I came in this morning for a mobile order pick up. It was delicious until it slipped out of my hands and made a giant mess. I went back into the store fully prepared to buy a new one and she offered to replace it for free. It was super sweet of her. I was on my way to a funeral and she offered to upsize it for me. I was already upset about the funeral and losing my $7 coffee was icing on the cake. I sat in my car and cried happy tears because I was so moved by her kindness. I hope she gets the kudos she deserves because it really made me feel special. read more

Super kudos to the Baristas today! They greeted me by name, smiled and were very upbeat! This level of service is why I continue to spend my $ at Starbucks. Plus, I've been a gold card holder since 2009. read more

This has become my favorite nearby Starbucks location due to the fact that it's the closest Reserve location to me. They've also taken COVID very seriously, by enforcing social distancing rules and requiring masks. They usually have a good assortment of Reserve brews to select from and the baristas always provide their best recommendations as well. Their staff is always super friendly and helpful, and even with mobile orders on a busy day, I am able to get in and out super quick. It also shares a plaza with Costco and Petsmart which are two stores that we frequent as well. read more

Bro. I went in here to buy a coffee. Suddenly, my stomach felt like it was punched by a sumo. After a few sips, I have suffered the worst stomach I ever had in my life. This called for a number two. I rushed into the bathroom and closed the door behind me. Ah. Peace it is. But not for long. The employees were pounding on the door every 2 minute. I was crying begging them to give me time to wipe. They told me they would barged in if I don't come out in the next 60 seconds. Worst shit ever. These employee are horrible. For this reason, 1 star. read more

This location has a lot of seating that fills up quickly, and a lot of parking that does the same. It's on the way to work so before I come here I mobile order so all I do is swing and grab it on the way. My drinks are usually done right, and are ready and waiting. What more could I ask for? read more

Gave up on this Starbucks due to staff attitude. Decided to try again given renovations. Most Starbucks are very welcoming. The staff at this Starbucks are unprofessional and unfriendly...no eye contact, short angry voices, throws straws at you when you request for one, gives you attitude when you try to personalize your drinks. Beautifully renovated but maybe manager needs to spend some time and money renovating staff attitude. Still as rude as before. read more
