I have been coming to this Starbucks consistently for over three years... maybe longer... one common denominator has existed this entire time-staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. One barista stands out and her name is Sam..she always is so accommodating and smiles and I know if i am having a bad day she will cheer me/us with her smile and cheerfulness... She is outstanding!! What a blessing!! read more

Just never pre order a cup of drip coffee here if you want to be ready on time. On 3 separate occasions! My drink is simple: venti blonde with cream. Preorder time to make shows 8-12 minutes. Fine. It's slower than ordering at the counter because it's one of the drinks that the person at the register makes right there. But noooooooooo. It's never there ready for pickup on time. So now the caffeine hasn't hit and I'm cranky. AHHHHHHH. Fool me once: shame on. Shame on you. Fool me; you can't get fooled again. - GWB read more

Typical Starbucks. Busy in the mornings, staff is pretty friendly. They've only messed up making two of my drinks but they did remake them correctly. read more

This place has the vibe for sure. As soon as you walk in, greeting from all personnel all at once, like music to the ears. Had to stop and do the boogie, lol. I'm glad I made the right choice to pick this particular Starbucks. I guess the right time, right place, means something, lol. Everyone(customers) just in their zone, focused is key to success, let's go. Great customer service by Sharon(hopefully I spelled it correctly). She was a good sport on answering questions when debating to try new drinks. Was very helpful! Thank you very much! Let's dive right into the good stuff, but if my ways of describing things don't please you. Take a look at some of the pictures I've attached to this review. My orders are, Drink: 1. Pistachios Cream Cold Brew Cold brew sweetened with vanilla syrup, topped with a silky, pistachio cream cold foam. Finished with salted brown-buttery sprinkles for a sweet treat to start up any winter day. Let's go!!!! As much as I love Cold Brew, I had to give the Pistachios Cream a try. It's very satisfying. Im impressed with the flavor enhanced. It's so creamy and delicious. Let's go! I definitely recommend this location due to their outstanding customer service experience. Very clean and sanitized. Their parking lot is spacious and easy access. They have a restroom for your convenience. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY! read more

It's near my house, so I sometimes stop by to buy a breakfast sandwich and coffee. The cafe is small and has few tables, so the tables inside are always occupied by customers who arrive first, so it's hard to get a seat, but there are plenty of seats at the parasol tables in front of the store. It's a very busy cafe, but the staff are friendly. read more

I think the service is outstanding. For this location being busy during the week I find that they are very well organized and I really appreciate the quality of service they provide. They don't let the stress of constantly being busy get in the way of providing a friendly environment. read more

I added $20 and also bought a $25 gift card Neither loaded and I lost 45$ but they said call corporate customer service and they won't help either.... No more Starbucks for me... read more

Clean and neat location. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. However, because the location is a popular one, it's quite busy. Finding seating may be difficult. read more

Terrible customer service. They were egregiously behind on drinks chatting it up behind the counter telling us our drinks will be ready soon. Starbucks is fast coffee. They can't lose the fast because their coffee isn't that great. I won't be coming to do this one again. read more

Good store to get your Starbucks drink. When you enter you smell the fresh aroma of ground beans and the hustle and bustle of the crew. There's always a line at this location and your order is made fresh and right away. It's even faster if you order on your app and then do a pickup. I like coming here because their cake pops and breakfast sandwiches are delicious. Also always in stock. Good ambiance. Several small tables and seats available if you want to take a moment to enjoy your beverage and sit and relax. They do have a restroom on site but since it's always busy I recommend the store to clean more often. read more

I wanna give a big shout out to Melissa for being the friendliest and funniest barista Starbucks has ever had. She's the goat for putting me onto that strawberry Matcha and I will absolutely be coming back to the store. read more

I like this Starbucks store, it has so clean, stuff are so nice. I feel relaxed when I walk into the store.

Like coming here and grabbing some coffee or a Frappuccino. Quite busy and feel like the price has gone up again! The good thing is if you order via the app or have a gold card you can get refills on coffee or tea. Not refills on Frappuccino or fancy brewed coffee. Only system issue is there's just so many customers you can have someone else accidentally grab your drink or food item. Just remember to keep your receipt and they will replace one for you. Only thing that costs is your extra time to wait for a replacement item. read more

I would give this location 5 stars if the girl I had helped me didn't seem frustrated with me. She started off great taking my order until I realized on my receipt I was rung up wrong and my drink was made wrong because she didn't hear me. I bring my own cup and she didn't ring me up as Personal cup for that 10¢ discount. They were very short staffed and so I understand it can get overwhelming but it took me 30 mins to get my correct order. There was a crowd around the pickup spot waiting on their order. So many orders and I kept hearing my name but when I went over to expect my drink, I didn't see my personal cup. Thats how I realized my drink was there, made incorrect and my personal cup just sitting there still with no drink made in it, is when I saw it wasn't rung up as a personal cup. I was going to just ask for my cup back and ask to fix the price but when I tried the drink, it was gross. I had to have them make it right, which let to a total of 30 min wait. They have made mistakes on my drinks here a few times, but they are my neighborhood Starbucks so I go here for convenience. Its weird how I feel like I said my order clear and then when I get it, its the wrong drink. This is why I ask for a receipt at this location to see if they put in my order right. I just didn't check soon enough because it was so busy. Ad for the potato chive bake, its fine. I have no idea why almost every location didn't have this in stock but glad I tried it. I'm not missing out on anything. Its not worth $5.95 at all! Helena the manager was busy making everyone's drinks, and took the time to assist the cashier how to refund and ring me up again my drink. read more

Was in OC and needed to charge up the EV before coming back to the 626. This plaza has 4 Electrify America charging stations across the way from this Starbucks. The Starbucks was open til 3PM on Thanksgiving day. I was able to place my order via their app and - get my charging started, walked over and got my drink and lunch. It was a holiday and I'm sure they only had a skeleton crew, so I did have to wait a couple minutes - totally understandable. My food was nice and hot and the drink was right on. I found my charging spot and hangout when in Irvine. read more

Starbucks - Inside on Thanksgiving day - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

If I could give ZERO I would. Came in this morning from the start " Raven " has this stank face and attitude for whatever. My daughter was ordering and told her what she would like not rude or anything because I would call my daughter out if she was being rude and she just looked at her if she was stupid again I didn't say anything then she gave me the same attitude like girl. No need to be rude when no one is being rude to you. If this is the manager then Starbucks do better ! There is no need to be rude. read more

Ever since the upgrade- female baristas recently working morning shift were rude, instead of taking my order or properly paying attention-they stared me down, did not ask for name, and had me wait for 20+ minutes while totally ignoring my order. Some degree of jealousy is always expected from certain women, and Irvine demographic is different... So why not hire baristas who are local to Irvine ?..will avoid this location entirely... read more

I don't like going to this Starbucks. It gets really busy, and the wait time is very long. The floor often becomes sticky, with paper straw wrappers and napkins scattered on the floor, and no one cleans up. The tables are always sticky. No complain about the coffee - drinks were the same as other Starbucks. read more

What a great group that works at this Starbucks. They are friendly and engaging while working hard to keep up with very busy mornings. The menu options are standard for Starbucks. You won't find the gourmet machines here, but that seems to be phasing out at other locations anyway. What you find is a great group of staff who aim to smile in busiest of times and then engage in friendly conversations with customers when it's a bit slower. Several of them even remember repeat customers names. Great job. Keep up the good work. read more

Great and clean place! Barrista was very attentive to my matcha order. Thank you again for the lovely affirmation. You ladies made my Lunar New Year morning brighter! read more

I was at this Starbucks for about 2 hours this morning with my friend before lunch. We got a free sample of newly released cold brew menu. They brought it out in mini cups and ask everyone to try it. Some didn't take it, but I was so glad to take a sip. I am not a coffee taster nor a cupper, but sweet cream goes really well with cold brew I think. I have tried chocolate cream cold brew and pistachio cream cold brew so far. I enjoy these new drinks from Starbucks these days! read more

On the morning of Saturday, April 26, 2025, I ordered two drinks on mobile app. I received notifications that both were ready for pickup, but when I arrived, one of the frappes wasn't prepared. A female barista had already checked my frappe order and even labeled it, but she walked away and continued making other drinks that were quicker to prepare. After waiting nearly 10 minutes, I finally asked about the frappe. She then made it without properly checking the label and ended up preparing a different drink than what I ordered. moreover she didn't apologize it and just started to make another order read more

The barista was rude. We ordered a venti iced cup along with other drinks, but she gave us a small one instead. When we kindly asked for the correct size, she handed it over with an attitude, making it feel like it was our fault. She even gave us a look, as if we were being difficult for asking. Her attitude was terrible! read more

Starbucks is Starbucks. I am always a stickler on great customer service, but it really depends on the establishment. This place was okay - nothing great. This location has lots of seating outside, so that was awesome. I could sit here and leisurely drink my coffee, while doing Yelp reviews..lol. read more

My favorite location for Starbucks. They staff is friendly and works as fast as possible to keep up. They get slammed some days, but still provide great service. I just wish they would receive Reserve Coffee beans at this location. It would save me the drive to another location. read more

This Starbucks it's a hit or miss with customer service I tried to stop here at least once a week on my way into work every time Sam is here. She's always on top of everything for this. This Starbucks gets a five star review just because of Sam she always has a smile in the morning greets everyone that's comes in the morning the food here pastries are OK clean place. Definitely recommend this Starbucks. do you get lucky at Sam just to be your barista she is very fast polite and just great at customer service service read more

Terrible service. It was ridiculously slow. 6 people went after me and got their stuff before me. Also the Asian girl with a mask who was a cashier was not friendly AT ALL and didn't even get half our order correctly. We had to order a second time after waiting forever for 4 drinks. Never coming back here. read more

It's Starbucks... in Irvine. The safest and most boring city on Earth. You know this location is going to be clean, safe, and extremely cookie cutter here. I bet that the craziest thing that happens here is when someone orders an EXTRA shot of espresso in their generic Skinny Iced Vanilla Latte. read more

If you're looking for a place to get some work done, then definitely go to the Starbucks. I enjoy working in a place that isn't too quiet and this place is always Poppin! Even though they have long lines to get drinks they do a pretty good job of getting your order to you quickly. My only feedback for this place is a wish it was a little bit cleaner. My table that I used to work from was a little messy prior to me sitting down. I cleaned it off pretty easily. The restroom was OK too. read more

pretty good location I love the way that they make the drinks here. They also use those high quality Starbucks cups. I hate when I go to some Starbucks and they use those thin sheet cups. It almost feels like your drink is going to fall right out the bottom of the cup within the first 5 minutes have some really good bottled water options as well. Anytime I drink coffee I get super Thursday night I do not like drinking water from the tap. So they have high quality bottles of water there that makes things really good read more

This Starbucks location is not too bad. It is definitely not the best Starbucks I've ever been to but I do not have a ton of complaints. One of the positive things about this location is the ambiance. It has a really good vibe to it. Everyone inside the location was super chill especially the staff and that is something I appreciate. The one thing I don't like about the location is how long it takes to get your drinks. It takes entirely too long Starbucks is typically about speed and convenience and I don't feel I receive either every time I come to this location. I think that is a reason why not a lot of people often come to this location either. There's not a whole lot of people every time I come read more

Busy place. The workers are over worked but jeeezzz. The girl with the glasses calling out drinks today around 1pm was grumpy. When people say hi at least acknowledge them instead of pretending we're not even here. The moody unhappy face you give us was really a Sunday ruiner. Lighten up and take a coffee break girl and relaxxxxx. We appreciate you. read more

I had an overall great experience at this location. I came here to redeem my stars for a free drink of my choice, but unfortunately I was missing 1 star from the reward. An associate suggested that I could purchase a cheese stick for just over a dollar, which I proceeded to do, but the stars still did not generate to show that I had the right amount for redemption. Without too much trouble, a supervisor stepped in, punched in a code to help me out for the inconvenience, and I was off with my coffee in less than 5 minutes! This type of ambiance from the team and service is extremely appreciated (maybe bringing my baby in a stroller helped my situation) as I was in a slight rush. The location is fine as it is a standard plaza shared with multiple businesses, and although the prices are not nearly as low as they used to be I still would not mind stopping by this Starbucks again for a quick pick me up. read more

Really poor quality coffee. I've yet to have a satisfying experience here. You're better off making your coffee at home.

Customer service terrible, no one greeted me or asked if they could help me, lady with glasses dressed in black with no uniform or badge on at 7:18am on 9/20/24 treated me with upmost disrespect, incredibly rude with no ounce of customer service trying to verbally get in a fight with me for trying to pick up a order. Disgusting. People like this that can't handle fast pace work they should not be in customer service. read more

I've been a loyal customer to this Starbucks branch simply because it is conveniently located near my house. I have to say that there have been positive and negative experiences during my visits here. Depending on the barista, you can meet someone who is bright, jovial, and friendly, and someone who just wants to get your order and drink out of the way. As always, I like their iced teas and ice caramel flan latte. This place can be busy throughout the day. One thing that I noticed during my visits here, is the inconsistent pace of making drinks. Sometimes they're fast and sometimes they're slow (depending on who is working and the number of customers). All I am going to say is that it shouldn't take too long to make an iced green tea lemonade or passion tea apple juice. My sister is a barista at another location and they can make their drinks faster in a more efficient manner despite the long lines. But will this make me stop going? Probably not, because I love Starbucks and I love to show my support for the franchise. I'm pretty sure management can do something about it and make everything more organized. That's my main concern. Other than that, cheers! (holds up my Venti iced green tea lemonade) * read more

I was in the store yesterday (Sunday) and there was a very rude girl in front of me but the girl taking her order I think her name tag said Sable was very patient with her. The problem continued with the girl making the drink and she was again rude and having trouble with her drink but the girl making the drink, I think her name was Amira, tried to make her happy with a smile on her face. These poor gitls deserve a raise and are a complete asset to your team! Oh and by the way my drink was amazingmy delicious! read more
