This is the worst Starbucks ever, they close at 4 PM daily and actually lock the doors by 3:45 PM. Do not waste your time and money going here, or attempting to go here read more

***NOTE TO MANAGEMENT*** This review is only based on customer experience, not your product. We stopped by on our way home as we do every trip down or back up. We placed our order and heard one of your employees state out loud "Someone peed all over the toilet, I hate this place!" And one of the other employees told her to "just quit". I understand frustration can get to the best of us but it needs to be contained when in front of customers, AND children. And yes, there were several children present, including mine. read more

This is the worst Starbucks I've ever been to in my life where I will be taking this to management if nothing is done about this. It was 8:30pm and the doors were locked, lights out, and chairs were up. The hours said the Starbucks closed at 11pm, but five staff members were chilling behind the counter for drive-thru, so we went there. We left the drive-thru at 9:05pm after getting there at 8:30 with not a lot of cars. That means we waited in line at the drive-thru for 35 minutes to get drinks. We finally got to the window and it took them 5 more minutes to make the drinks. My boyfriend got a tea and I ordered a caramel macchiato upside down (meaning shaken). This was the drink handed to me. It is undrinkable because all it is is caramel syrup with a little milk. Do not waste your time on this and if management is reading this, do yourself a favor and hire all new people. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gustine, California

Must be hit and miss service from the other reviewers. I put in my mobile order and my two drinks came out perfect. (Iced mocha with additional one pump white mocha and a double choc chip creme frap w/ no whip and nonfat milk). I did stand in line to order a chocolate croissant warmed for the kiddo. Everything was quick and smooth. read more

This isn't as busy as the Starbucks in LA. The line was short, but the wait was long. They appeared to have enough employees, but who knows what the deal was with the wait. Several complaints from other patrons waiting. Hey, but who cares as long as I get my Starbucks. read more

What's the point in having a mobile order if they're going to have you wait in the long line of the drive thru? Need to be better with your mobile orders because this is just bad service. They didn't let me go in or wait outside for them to give me my mobile order will not be coming back here. Also didn't have my complete order and told me my order was just sold after waiting the long line of the drive thru. Come on corporate come down here and give them more training. read more

Service was incredibly slow... 3 workers and 2 customers (that's including me) and it took quite a while. Ordered and paid for 3 drinks and they made one... Forgot the other two??? Drinks were super good once we got them - just make sure you have time to wait. read more

Vegan food selections!!! Bagels, avocado spreads, chickpea "popcorn" bags, coconut chocolate cookies... Great service! read more

Very clean and spacious inside, but it is located in a hidden and awkward location. The service was quick and friendly, plus no long lines. It is a good stop for a ice cold coffee on a hot day like this! Starbucks never disappoints! read more

Starbucks - Front of the store. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gustine, California

After an hour and a half of travelling South down the I-5 late on Sunday evening, I pull off at the Santa Nella exit hoping to find some much needed caffeination to keep me awake and alert on the remainder of my drive home to Bakersfield. The smell of jasmine permeates the parking lot as I exit the car, so far so good. There are six wrought iron tables outside shaded by three green umbrellas bearing the Starbucks name. This location has the classic Starbucks look but with much hipper music playing. This time it is a song by the Cure whereas the last several Starbucks locations I wandered into were playing Dean Martin or Frak Sinatra classics. The barrista greets me robustly and suggests I try some of the samples of baked goods sitting on the counter. She explains that Starbucks has recently formed a partnership with La Boulange, a chain of bakeries with about twenty locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. Starbucks is heavily promoting the new pastries by offering free samples. Who can resist free samples? Not me, I can assure you. I tried a piece of a blueberry yogurt muffin and one of their lemon loaf and found them both delicious. There were also samples of one of their croissants, but I didn't want to be too greedy. You can get more information about the Starbucks La Boulange partnership at the following link. http://www.starbucks.com/promo/laboulange The barrista made a point of using my name repeatedly. "Have a sample, Mimi." "Here's your drink, Mimi." "Feel free to take another sample, Mimi." "Have a safe trip, Mimi." It sounds like overkill in print, but it was actually nice in person that she was trying to make a connection with me, however briefly. All too soon I was back in my car headed South with my venti skinny hazelnut latte vigilantly insuring that I won't doze off at the wheel. Kudos to you, oh Starbucks coffeehouse in the middle of nowhere. I salute you. read more

This is probably the best place to use the restroom in Santa Nella. As a lady who has traveled this stretch of I-5 for quite a few years I have conducted an exhaustive survey. Not only is the restroom usually clean...you can also get a snack or a drink. Yeah...it's Starbucks....but in the middle of BFE - its not too shabby. Would I prefer an independent coffee shop with soul?...yes! Would the bathrooms be as clean?...probably not! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it sure it convenient when taking the shortcut to 152! read more

I am pretty easy to please. And I normally have great experiences at Starbucks (even ones off of busy freeway exits that have lots of traffic and people using the restrooms). I was here yesterday, a Sunday evening around 6pm. First, the bathrooms were gross ... smelly and wet on the floor like many missed the bowl and hadn't been cleaned all day. They seemed understaffed ... A total of 4 working when the drive-thru and front counter were both crazy busy. They seem to maybe need a second espresso station just for the drive thru or maybe just faster baristas. I am used to the hustle of baristas in the Bay Area and these baristas moved at a snail's pace and could not multitask to work on multiple drinks at once to save their lives. What should have been a 10 minute stop to get back on the road ended up taking 30 minutes and in the end, my Carmel macchiato was lackluster at best. Bottom line: if you want a fast experience of a caffeine fix before getting back on the road, it won't happen here. read more

I used to stop at this location every time on my way back home, but after ongoing disappointments I had not returned. For months it was a hit and miss experience; you would get awesome customer service and poorly made drinks or great drinks and an unfriendly attitude. Today I decided to try again and so glad I did!!! Service was fast and friendly and my drink was done to perfection!!! Experience was a 5 star! Great job keep it up. read more

I stopped by during my road trip and this is the most unpleasant Starbucks I have ever been to. The lady who took our order seems annoyed the whole time (not just to us but to everyone else as well). It just feels rude and they even made our drinks wrong. My sister asked for a "medium" drink and she responded with "we don't have that. Tall or venti?" I understand it's not the correct wording but we never have a problem before. I wouldn't come back to this location read more

A 1 star review.... I go to Starbucks a lot... my girlfriend used to be a barista . This place is the worst I have ever been to!! Thee absolutely slowest Starbucks in the world I'm sure... there was no car in the drive thru and it took fifteen minutes from order to drink in hand the first time I stopped here... There were 2 cars in the drive thru the second time and it took literally 25 freaking minutes to get my order... terrible terrible service... management needs to do something different here.... product is product and if it wasn't Starbucks I wouldn't buy it but I think I'll just stay away from this one.... not worth it... by the way it was just me.. 1 drink... the car in front of me.... 1 drink... read more

Barista Debra made ordering super quick and she was super friendly and helpful all the employees here were friendly 10/10

If you're like us and can do the East Bay to LA drive down the 5 (and it rhymes!) without thinking, you've probably stopped here at least once. Well, that's what we had done this past Friday ("need a decent cup of coffee...and we're in Santa Nella"). But this time we added an extra ounce of "not thinking" as we stopped into this Starbucks and locked our keys and phones in the car. Smart! Fortunately, a very friendly and gracious Starbucks employee named Ann loaned us her phone to call our insurance and when we offered her thank you $$ she politely declined. SO NICE. If you are ever in this Starbucks again, please ask for Ann, and then tell her she is the BEST! And yes, the bathroom is clean and yes, the coffee is good. : ) read more

Waited here for over 25 minutes for our drinks and finally threw in the towel. Dude at the front desk didn't seem to care at all that about 3 other families and us cancelled all of our orders. If I could give it zero stars I will. Store was also filthy, bathrooms were trashed and workers were awful. Totally not what you expect when playing 5+ dollars for a coffee! read more

They are the slowest Starbucks ever!!! And my drinks are hit or miss at being correct or tasting right. Need more employees or faster service!! 15 min in a drive up for a pick up order is crazy ... I cannot go in I have kids and too hard to unbuckle all of them to go inside read more

I've been here quite a few times doing the Livermore to Bakersfield circuit and it's my "go to" Starbucks on this route. I've never walked in and have always used the drive through. I've never had a bad experience with food, drinks or service. The woman who helped me Saturday was downright delightful. read more

This is right off of the 5 and there is not much on this side of the road, but there's a McDonald's and this hidden gem: a drive thru! When you are walking around downtown SF and your typical city, you see Starbucks everywhere and would not care to give it a second glance. But when you're on the 5 and cow, sheep, and tree-lined pastures are all you see as you try to keep your eyes open; this Starbucks is a dream! Friendly and quick service via drive-thru! Yummm.... read more

I never post reviews, but this is deserving. The guy with the beard (I should've asked for his name) that is working tonight currently, is the SWEETEST! They were out of cold brew, but were willing to make more an hour before they closed. Since I had to wait, he gave me a gift card for a free drink next time, made my drink free, accidentally gave me a pumpkin scone when I asked for a cheese danish, but when he brought out my drink, he brought out the danish too!! So so kind. This made my night. This reminds me of the kindness people can have. Thank you, Starbucks barista. You are the BEST!! A+++ for customer service! read more

Terrible service!!! I didn't give one star only because of one guy, named Philip. He was the only one doing something there as fast as possible and trying to figure out the line of 20 people. There's definitely something wrong with the management. He tried to ask girls to help him but didn't get much... Girls were moving super slow. One of the answers to him was "what? Who are you?" - this came out from one older blonde lady with kind of long hair she was holding some folder, looked like a manager.... Unfortunately I didn't catch her name. That was so unprofessional!!! I told her maybe she should help to figure out the situation... she said "I gotch ya!" and disappeared in the back room. Nice! I ended up ordering something quick couse I knew it will take them a while. Whoever is higher than this awful management, if you want to change this location for better one, you consider to have Philip as a manager!!! Or just anybody, but not this! read more

By far the absolute worst Starbucks experience I've ever had. Walking in the first thing you noticed was a handwritten list taped to the door listing everything they were out of food wise which was pretty much everything. One bathroom was completely out of order and the lock didn't work on the other one. I had to stand by the door while my girlfriend used it. It looked like the entire place hadn't been picked up all day (i.e. - trash on the floor of the dining area and the bathroom and tables not wiped down). 5 o'clock in the afternoon on a holiday drive day and they didn't have any regular coffee already made so we had to wait for that to be made. While making our purchase we noticed an open tube of chocolate covered almonds on the counter, asked the cashier what was up and she said "I'm not sure, they were there when I came in so I just left them there." Seriously?!?!? It didn't cross you're mind to ask someone on if it was a sample bottle or trash so you'd know? Went to the counter to get our coffee and the machines and back bar looked like it hadn't been cleaned in days, splatters, bits of stuff all over. If you're that far in the weeds, really, call the GM/owner and tell them you need to close for an hour to get caught up. read more

Ordered a green tea and it has a metallic taste to it. They should really check the water they're using and make sure they're not using foul water. read more

Worst green tea Frappuccino, mostly ice, some milk and almost NO green tea. We usually don't want too much green tea either but this is just icy and plain. It's our daily drink so we know what's up. read more

Long bathroom lines on this crowded holiday weekend. Very friendly @ efficient barista! Easy parking!

Very disappointed with this Starbucks, I did a mobile order and order a grande. When I got my drink, it was not even filled up all the way. read more

Starbucks - Order a grande, and this is what I got! Very disappointed! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gustine, California

We always stop here in this nowhere town when going family in Mariposa. It is a welcome sight and we are always happy with the service:) For being in the middle of nowhere off highway 5, it really is well stocked and the people KNOW how to make some good coffee:O) read more

Drove up to get a coffee on the long drive home from Monterey and this place closed 50 minutes early tonight. Super disappointing all the staff was just hanging out in the dark with the lights off staring at us as we walked up but then ignored us and looked away when we tried to open the door. I definitely wouldn't count on this place this is the second time this has happened. The hours on the door even state 10:30. read more

We were by there again yesterday before 4PM and they had cones in the drive through store closed. What the heck is going on with what used to be our go to pit stop to and from the coast. Never have we had a Starbucks that was so inconsistent and we spend a ton of $$ there. PLEASE get back to regular hours inside and out and have your bathrooms open during all open hours. From a long time regular customer! read more

This location is Gross flies everywhere , unfriendly staff , Dirty glass & counters . Very unappetizing . read more

See all

Have been her several time over the years. Every single time they have one person at the registers. Three or four people doing busy work.. There is always a crazy line. Bathroom are always dirty. Tables are dirty, stuff on the floor. While i was in line with the other 15 people. One worker was dumpling trash, dragging nasty dirty trash right next to everyone standing in line, then she came out with a trash can . She could have waited until line was gone. No one is friendly. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gustine, California

Just passing through? Star*ucks may not be your first choice - and to be sure, I prefer to frequent locally run establishments when I'm able - but they're at least consistent, have soy milk and clean(ish) facilities - I don't know if that includes the "facilities" here or not, as the line was something like 20 milling teenagers deep. So yay for a soy latte; boo for not being able to, um, "facilitate" while just passing through. read more

Good place to stop on a road trip when you don't want McD's. It's the usual Starbucks, and as such, can get pretty crowded. There was a big back up for the ladies' room line, so 1 woman went into the men's room. She came out and said that it wasn't flushing, and a worker said something about the pipes being connected to a well and it needs time to reset, and some other strange thing which amounted to...long lines for both bathrooms. I know that a lot of Starbucks don't even have more than one restroom ,but if you're gonna be the only SB for miles and miles, maybe they should invested in more. Also, the outside trash cans were overflowing and I was there around noon the day we passed through. read more

This Starbucks is located off of I-5. We stopped here for a quick breakfast/ coffee on our way to SoCal. We got a strawberry frappucino, zebra mocha, spinach square, mozarella/ basil/tomato sandwich and a Grilled Cheese sandwich. Strawberry frappucino was on the tangy side, which I didn't like. High chair was a rolling one and was full of coffee stains and generally dirty! They have a shared bathroom which is something I dislike. read more

This is a great location for a SBux but it's tucked back at the end, and no sign if you're coming from the north going south. I decided to do drive thru, and no matter how loudly I spoke, the gal taking my order couldn't hear. It sounded loud inside. I got my order and thank goodness had to run in and grab napkins (we ordered 4 breakfast sandwiches and didn't receive any), because I took a sip of my drink and it was all wrong. I ordered an iced coffee, no cream or sugar and got something entirely different. When you've been up for 5 hrs driving and it's only 9am and have 6 more hours to go, you def need a little coffee boost. The girl at the counter gave me a new coffee quickly. All the sandwiches were correct and delicious. Just need to speak loudly in the mic at the drive thru window. read more

The worst service EVER There was a line of cars in the drive-through and I was waiting for over 30 minutes finally when it was my turn the barista informed me that they're so backed up that it's gonna take another 30 minutes just to take my order I asked how can I just exit because I was stuck in between cars inside the drive-through and she just left and turned off the mic and I had to stay there and wait until I could leave when instead she could've exited the store and informed all the other cars behind me so that way they can reverse out of the drive-through and I can get out to but she had everybody waiting it was the worst! I'm so upset read more

20 minute wait for a cold coffee on ice. Dirty store and they didn't even bother to call me when my drink was ready.

Stopped to grab a quick bite and the service is horrible came around 7:00am and the wait was so long and kind of felt a little racial stares and slurs . read more
