I was once a frequent Starbuck coffee drinker but when my viente Americano went from $2 to $4.45, I gave it up. I have a gift card so I've gone through this Starbucks location a couple of times this week and either my taste buds have changed drastically or the coffee is watered down because it does not taste like the strong cup of brew I once bought. I know staff can't do anything about prices going up but making a good cup of coffee at the prices they are charging is not asking for a lot. Staff was so-so, not rude but not overly friendly as I recalled from other Starbucks. read more

You expect certain things at a coffee house, like hot coffee and tasty treats. In 2022, you also expect electrical outlets. But at the Highland Plaza Starbucks they are all covered with metal plates. One barista said it's because of COVID. Another said it's because of transients and "we're working on it." BS. I bet if I go in there next week it will be the same situation. I shook my head and left without ordering. It's just as well because I was seated at one of the few comfortable chairs in the place and speakers were mounted directly above blaring loud music. If you're going to try to charge $3.25 for a cup of coffee, you need to do better than this. read more

This Starbucks I really like how clean it is on the inside and how fully stocked their condiment bar area is. Their staff is also very nice & helpful. There are a few things I don't like. On their drive thru menu they don't have complete listing of their drinks. Inside the way they divide up the work on the weekends when it's busy it doesn't work. You will literally get your drinks at 2 different times. During the week there is not that many people inside. Customer Service: 9 out of 10 Cleanliness: 10 out of 10 Food Quality: can't rate because I haven't ate anything here. read more

I love this Starbucks, don't get me wrong. But what's the point of having these Pinterest drinks, and trying something for the first time, if the baristas get upset at you for having expectations.... for example I ordered a "grande iced pumpkin spice vanilla latte" and got a "iced pumpkin latte". When it didn't look how I expected it to look the barista asked me if I wanted cold foam on top. Frustrated, because I'm not a barista, I don't know what you did wrong, I left. Guess I can never try anything new here.. unhelpful baristas read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Highland, California

My siblings and I went in to pick up some mobile ordered drinks from this location and upon walking in it was a shit show. Multiple people hovered around the pick up counter, one lady also asked about her drinks saying she was waiting for almost 30 minutes. I am now sitting here almost 40 minutes later: i had to ask them to make a drink i was missing and was given major attitude from it, I'm still waiting for 2 drinks, and when I asked about the drinks, the manager was the one I had the pleasure talking to and she said "yea. we have a lot of tickets" and rolled her eyes. I work in customer service, I get it. But there's no need to give attitude to your customers when you're the one behind on your job. Maybe hire better staff or get a better manager. read more

I come here a lot. They always have my drink ready. I understand they do get busy easily. The workers should be recognized for their hard and earnest work. I get welcomed most of the time, I come in and go & thats all that matters. The store always looks clean too. read more

Dropped by as a quick stop driving home from Big Bear on the way to San Diego. This location was placed in an easy location right off the freeway that we were on. Ordered a drink which came quickly. Nothing to gripe about, everything here went well. FYI bathroom requires a key. read more

The entire staff here is friendly and go out of their way to give customers the best experience. I usually go in the morning when it's super busy and they always go out of their way to connect with customers. Also, drinks are always great. Thanks! read more

I recently moved into the area and of the few times I have stopped here for coffee 7am on a weekday, they are not busy and service is great! Quite unusual for weekday mornings from where I'm from. Have never had a problem with my order, my drink is always exactly the way I ordered it! read more

Ordered a coffee about 20m ago, a Capuchino venti... I guess the Venti now is small.. 70% foam and the rest super sugary coffee....

I come to this Starbucks a lot. I'm sitting here after ordering a breakfast sandwich to go with coffee. Another lady comes in and it's obvious that she's well loved by the entire store staff. She gets her coffee and two different sandwiches and after hugs and kisses leaves. I'm still waiting on my sandwich. When I ask about it the lady working the cash register, Miranda, simply says " sorry", and it'll be right up. I point out that this lady came after me and has already left with her food, again a Sorry. First time I've gotten bad service here. As a former barista I'm disappointed with the service. read more

The girl who served me my drink today was irritated because I told her that I'm there for a mobile pick up. She indicated that for future reference pointing to the counter where they serve the mobile pick up that's where I'm going to find my drink. Very condescending and annoyed. This girl should not work in places that she interacts with people. This Starbucks has a subpar service they don't even know how to make a proper iced green tea matcha. I have to asked repeatedly to add more matcha if I wanted to drink milk I'll order a milkshake. I buy Starbucks almost everyday I do not appreciate the rudeness I have experience today. I'll go to Starbucks at Baseline from now on even though this Starbucks is close to my work I'll drive an extra mile to receive proper service. read more

How are you going to charge your customers 4.42 for a cup of ice and only two gulps of the actual product? I know some people might be draining but we're the supervisors that bro read more

Starbucks - Tall Caffe Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Highland, California

They have the worst customer service. I get that there is a pandemic and the inside is closed at some location but DONT let me place pick up order and you tell me I have to wait in the drive Thur for 45 min it's bullshit. I had 2 screaming kids In the car I begged they to open the door they wouldn't I called the phone several times I hear it ringing and they wouldn't pick up the phone. Then even when someone left for there shift and opened the door they atoll would hand me my prepaid order. My ice was melted and watered down my $20 order was waisted. I've never come across such disrespectful employees I don't care how busy you are you are in a customer service job and you get paid good money. read more

Starbucks - Still waiting in line for my order that was ready over 15 minutes ago. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Highland, California

Used the mobile app to order.. so its paid for. Show up to store and doors are locked. So we wait in drive through line... and after 45 minutes from order to window ... i finally got my "warm" coffee. So if you are short on time, and use the mobile app to avod lines... this is NOT the place to go! read more

It's unfortunate to type this review, because I love Starbucks and I loved THIS location because it's nearby. I'm upset that Isabelle wasn't the greatest cashier, but the drinks were still good. read more

The food and drinks are fine but there are fruit flies everywhere! They were in the food display case, and flying all over the store and landing on drinks and equipment read more

Starbucks - Those black specks are flies - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Highland, California

The service is good most of the time and then there are some newbies that suck. One of them told me to put out my cigarette when I was at the intercome ordering my coffee. She said there are signs on the door as if I could see their front door from the intercom. She refused to take my order until I compiled. I asked to speak with a manager and I did put out my cigarette. The manager defended his one employee for enforcing this policy that is nowhere visible in the drive-thru. The little dork that harassed me about it ran and locked the window when I approached. What a little scary turkey! Btw, I near smoke at the drive-thru window. I'm respectful of others. But having being told by this one barista was strange & manager didn't care to correct his worker for her random policy enforcement. read more

Awful experience truly. I placed a mobile order about 10 minutes before arriving. One of my drinks was ready and Stephanie continued to make the other one and left it on a counter for about 5 minutes. I was with my boyfriend and we stood waiting for someone to ask what name our order was for or anything. No body talked to us so we had to tell them we had food and that drink on the counter was ours as well. It was not busy at all and all the employees were just messing around and not really even working. read more

In this hot weather with massive lines for drive thru these workers are being careless and taking their sweet time to avoid taking orders, I've been sitting in the drive thru and came up to the window because I am getting no type of service through the menu speakers. The workers can clearly see us through the window and refuse to take my order or at least tell us that they are not open! These workers are so rude I'm really sweating out here and have my food in my car melting! We are the first ones at the window and other cars getting out to see what's going on! Never coming to this Starbucks again this is the worst Starbucks ever if you're closed at least have signs at the drive thru ENTRANCE!! read more

Finally another Starbucks not as close to the freeway. Love this location, it's literally up the street from my moms house and close to Walmart supercenter. I can just grab groceries and coffee on the go. There's enough parking. It's big inside and not crammed. They have plenty of seating. The employees are always nice. I always order pumpkin bread and it's good. The drive thru is quick. They close an hr earlier than the baseline one. I think. I'm glad they opened here. It's perfect. read more

Starbucks - &baby friendly - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Highland, California

First, it's extremely annoying that this Starbucks doesn't have a great area to work/study. Second, and most importantly, EVERY time I've gone through the drive thru here it's been extremely slow..like another reviewer said, a MINIMUM of 20 minutes. It's sad and weird considering how fast other Starbucks locations are able to get customers their drinks and back on the road. read more

Love this starbucks Staff here in the early morning is always sweet and efficient. Im always running late for work but make time for this Starbucks even though its out of my way and I'm back tracking because ..... but they're pretty sweet the employees who first opened up this store were very awesome too they're the reason i kept. Coming in even though my ordera were messed up couple times it was okayy their friendliness made up for it.. The night employees ummm no comment read more

On a long time Starbucks customer have been to many Starbucks I have over 6000 reward points. The Starbucks on Highland and bolder needs a little help The employee's lack customer service skills and a good work attitude. I stood there for what seemed like forever, waiting for somebody to take my order while the manager looked at me 2 or 3 employees looked at me and said nothing to stared at me as they walked on by. It seems like if you're a walk in customer your Not as important as those drive thru customers. So you will stand there and wait until they take care of those people before yours is taken care of. I've watched multiple drinks go out before mine. I've tried The drive-through and after my drink was prepared wrong I've decided to go back to walking into the store, Maybe I just need to find a better Starbucks read more

Every time I come here they mess up my order. Today I ask for coffee, I got coffee flavored milk. Four time here, fourth mess of coffee. Customer service sucks in this location as well. Rude barristers. I didn't know that was allowed to happen at starbucks. Rant over. read more

Starbucks - Coffee flavored milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Highland, California

So i go to this starbucks everyday after the gym ! I really love how close it is to my home after the gym . But i really hate how long it takes to make a simple drink , it took almost 20 mins to make my "tall" white chocolate frap and it wasn't even busy . They need to be better with speed and also on their people ,person skills , this location they seem like they hate being there all in all . And I believe they need to fix their ticket machine , they seem to also forget your order which has you as the customer waiting entirely too long for yet again a simple order . read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Highland, California

They've had a change in staff every time I'm there. Rudest customer service here. Hector always messes up drinks like he is even capable of being a barista here. He is rude and never says anything or apologize for screwing up a simple drink. Other barista here charge to add heavy cream even tho no other Starbucks charge from here to L.A. Simply the dumbest barista and they are so slow and they always have a new staff that are not trained. Even tho I live close by I go to another location because the manager here is a doofus and doesnt have any customer service skills. I miss the coast. Service is just shit out here in the IE even at a Starbucks. I believe the ppl here are dry as the desert they grew up in. read more

This place is very poor in service in your attitude that time I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone !!!

You don't serve a medicine ball drink? Everyone knows Starbucks sales them! Guess staff is to busy just standing around like always!

This Starbucks looks normal from the outside, inside were transient looking ppl. Don't use the restrooms, no paper towels, toilet paper and dirty floors, sink and toilet seat. This is a new style Starbucks, how could it be this filthy?? Also I saw a smashed battery on the floor?? Never ever returning!! Yuck!! read more

Typical Starbucks set up but they really struggled to get our drink order right. Place was quiet inside but steady at the drivethru. Overall, they had more than enough staff to get things done. We bought a coffee and a tea and it took several tries at the register AND at the counter to get them right. I've never had to correct a barista repeatedly like this. Ordering a double espresso and a hot tea shouldn't be that complicated. At one point they gave me someone else's coffee instead of my tea and that customer said she'd been waiting 15 min. On top of it all, servers were less than welcoming. How does a fully staffed Bucks mess up like this? Maybe it was a bad morning for them? Based on this, if we lived here, this would NOT be our regular caffeine stop. As a side note..... whoever designed their ADA accessible bathroom needs to check the door. It's way, way too heavy for someone with disabilities to handle. ADA law says doors with this amount of pressure require an electronic door opener. read more

The quality of the products is getting worse and worse. Today I ordered two grande hot chocolates for my daughter and I. When I got home and took them out of the carrier, I noticed they seemed unusually light in weight. I took the lids off the cups, and both cups were only half full with hot chocolate. Neither cup had been drank out of yet. I might as well have ordered a small, because that's the amount of product I just received. This picture shows my cup untouched, when I first took my lid off and I had not drank any of it. Honestly, this is ridiculous. read more

Great workers, positive attitude, and is always focused on getting the drinks/food out love these peeps.

Waited 20 minutes for a lemonade with no ice. The lemonade is already pre made and it took them two seconds to pour it. Still wondering why they had me wait so long. read more

I used to love coming here, their could be 15 cars if still wait cause the line was fast and people were friendly. Now days it could be 2 cars and wait 10 mins per car and only one or two drinks go out...so disappointing. Please add back tue amount people you started with made the experience much more enjoyable! read more

I don't understand their hours. Says close at 9:30 but I showed up at 8:15 and they said they are close. Please update hours of operation if this is incorrect. I checked online first before stopping by and wasting my time read more

Sat in the drive thru for 20 min! Which I believe is excessive. My Frappuccino was poorly put together, sloppy like they rushed it. I see why I haven't been here in a while. read more
