Never had an issue getting my customized drink at any other locations but these one. I order Starbucks on a regular basis at least 5x per week, like I mentioned Never had an issue till the past 3-4 times I had ordered at the Irvine spectrum location. I have to ho back to had them make it right, I tried giving them a few chances but after today I won't be spending my money here anymore even tho I work next door. I asked the barista to fill a little more of the cup since I'm used to getting it to the top, she replied with "you only paid for 3 shots of expreso" I showed her my past drinks which clearly are full. No wonder the have really bad reviews and bad ratings. Please stay away from this location. I got more foam than anything else. Hardly any caramel which I also asked for. I attached a Picture of my regular drink looks like at other locations.

They have seating available outside & inside. I always do mobile order & they have it ready quickly! Took 1 star off bc parking in this lot can be a nightmare, depending on what time you come... I have questions for the designer of this parking lot. Anyway, either have a friend drive you & drop you off so you can run in, or just park far away & walk over :\

I'm hooked into the Blonde Cortado which just perk me up with just the right amount of caffeine for me. Cortado tastes like a latte but not part of the latte family :) I like the ambiance here especially when it's raining looking out from the big windows is so calming.

Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, with Chai Cold Foam!

I really want to start doing this for Irvine spectrum stores to vouch for workers because as a food service employee myself, there are so many guests that forget they are being served by human-beings and many employees forgetting they are serving human-beings as well! That is why I would like to vouch for Sam for excellent customer service who made my morning by suggesting I add chai cold foam (I think?) to my iced horchata oat milk shaken espresso and it was delicious. She was super nice and thoughtful during my experience and hope to see her again the next morning I visit!

Audry, unprofessional, lazy and very rude.

I came in to get some work done, I ordered in house. The girl Adry who took my order was very disrespectful and lazy, refusing to make my order as asked. Which was a brewed coffee with steamed oat milk over ice. Claiming she couldn't put it in a glass cup with steamed oat milk?! She finally took my order, then delivering iced coffee in a glass no oat milk and said I could use the oat milk at the station! Following I asked for a wet napkin as using agave packets is messy. The barista whispered something and proceeded to get a cup of water directing me to get my own napkin. When calmly sharing I will be discussing this with a manager Adry burst out, What do you want me to do? I shared how simple it is to make a coffee with steamed oat milk and pour it over ice. Her response was the same, she can not put steamed "milk" in a glass claiming it will burst! Yet she put hot coffee in the glass? Again my request was incredibly simple and made to be a problem that didn't exist! Make the drink and pour it over ICE! The glass is not going to BURST! How absolutely ridiculous. As I continued my work I observed the manager on duty being fed food by Adry in front of customers which was BEYOND unprofessional and demonstrated the true lack of professional manners being operated at this location by this particular staff. Traveling all over southern Ca I have never had someone be so rude, disrespectful, lazy, ignorant, and unprofessional for such a simple request! I wouldn't recommend this location if Audry is working just expect unprofessional attitude! After coming the day before and having such a divine experience I was expecting to have the same today! Unfortunately that was not the case, although the only reason for giving any stars.

Reserve selection.

Great Starbucks in Irvine. Access was easy. Parking was good. Next to Whole Foods Market, Marufuku Ramun and many eateries. Staff was all pleasant and helpful.

As usual, it's one of the best parts of my day. Everything was nice, organized, and the coffee was perfection!

Iced Lavender Soymilk Latte, Lavender Creme Frappuccino
Elly L.

I tried the new lavender drinks so you don't have to! Or do? I'm not a huge fan of lavender, but I like to try new things so take this review with a grain of salt. I wanted to try the iced lavender cold cream foam matcha, but I think they misheard me and gave me the lavender latte instead. It was pretty loud around the time I came by, so I don't blame them at all, I'll just have to try it another day. They had run out of oat milk today so I had it substituted with soy milk. ICED LAVENDER SOYMILK LATTE: The blonde espresso flavor kind of overpowers the lavender, so it's a bit muted but you do get an aftertaste of the lavender flavor. Not sure how I feel about this one, I think if you like their blonde espresso lattes and want a different twist then this might be a nice change. All I can taste though is burnt beans with an aftertaste of lavender. LAVENDER CREME FRAPPUCCINO: If you have a sweet tooth, this is kinda nice! It's reminiscent of fruity pebbles and the lavender flavor is much more prominent. Mine was a bit too icy, and was hard to sip because the ice chunks were too thick to go through the straw until it melted a bit more. I will definitely order this again but will ask for an extra scoop of lavender powder and double-blended. :)

Not all Starbucks locations are the same... I only go to this location on Sundays often before church and normally relax outside early in the morning before leaving... I am a creature of habit and I usually get a Grande Soy Latte which is the only drink or just a regular coffee that I get... Employees are nice and friendly and based on customers I see in the story are very patient as well...

All the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Jose was so kind to bring my coffee and breakfast to my table. Always clean (even the bathroom). They sometimes write little notes on my coffee cup that are positive encouragements. My favorite Starbucks!

My first blonde...(espresso).

New location but this one is huge. Everything is new. Great spot to study or do projects. Lots of parking spots most of the time.

You can actually taste the quality of the tea and the freshness of the berries. I tried the blackberry tea, which uses fresh blackberries and a simple syrup. The flavor was excellent, and the price was pretty reasonable for the quality. There are also more seating options at this location, and it feels more open. I was impressed, and I'm looking forward to my next visit!

I ordered the Boba Treasure, but made the mistake thinking it was the boba milk tea, common in other shops not realizing it was just milk no tea. That was disappointing that there didn't seem to be a boba milk tea option, only one where the boba is an add-on, but that's fine. Nonetheless, the milk drink was good, boba good consistency, shop clean with okay seating. Definitely, could use tables with chairs that face one another, hard to have a nice conversation when the chairs are all facing the counter or facing a wall, but that's also fine. Some other tea shops that are unjustifiably popular, such as Omomo in Tustin, have way more uncomfortable seating and this shop is vastly better than Omomo is every aspect. It's definitely impacted by the location as a lower traffic retail strip, but this made for plenty of parking, quiet place and quality service and drinks. Would be happy to return for another visit to try the teas.

The shop has such a cute vibe and is the perfect spot to grab dessert after lunch or dinner , or honestly anytime you're craving something sweet. The only downside is that indoor seating is pretty limited. They do have a few tables outside, but if it's busy, you might have to enjoy your gelato while taking a little stroll. The gelato itself was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious! I do wish they had a few more sorbet flavors to choose from, but the selection they did have was still fantastic. A huge shoutout to Tobi for making our visit even better! They were so friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They took the time to explain the popular flavors and let us sample until we found the perfect one. You can tell they genuinely care about making sure customers leave happy, and that kind of service really stands out. I can already tell I'm going to become a regular because I need to come back and try all the other flavors. Thank you, Bacio Di Latte, for such a sweet experience .. I can't wait for my next visit!

If you're a boba fan, this spot is definitely worth a stop. I tried their Thai tea brown sugar boba…read moreand the strawberry matcha boba, and both drinks were packed with flavor. The Thai tea had that rich, creamy tea taste with the perfect amount of sweetness, and the brown sugar boba added a warm caramel-like flavor that made it even better. The strawberry matcha boba was super refreshing. The strawberry added a sweet fruity layer that balanced the earthy matcha really well, and it wasn't overly sweet. The boba itself was soft and chewy, exactly how it should be. Both drinks felt really well balanced and not watered down, which is always a win. If you like classic milk teas or fun matcha combos, these are definitely worth trying.

I was fooled by that as well as the pictures (of non fruity drinks) and reviews... Actually the second worst teas I've ever had in my 15+ years of drinking boba. The quality of the tea is terrible and the fruit used doesn't taste or look fresh at all. I tried the strawberry green tea and the lychee green teas. The lychee tea I threw away after one sip, the strawberry tea I struggled with and couldn't finish either. !!!! Take a look at pictures people post of the strawberry green - it looks brown with a few chunks of soggy fruit. Let me tell you it tastes the way it looks. Anywhere else the same drink is naturally red with fresh fruit. I've also tried other fruit teas multiple times across several years since they opened in case I came on bad days. It was just as bad a week ago as it was when they first opened...Never spending a single penny more here. Perhaps the milk teas are decent, but I honestly don't know how they could be when the fruit teas are such a miss...

I ordered through the kiosk because there were people waiting at the register. After about 10 minutes, I noticed multiple customers who ordered after me already receiving their drinks, so I asked the workers if my order had gone through. They apologized and said the kiosk order never printed, and that they would make it ASAP. Unfortunately, even after bringing it up, I continued waiting while other customers' drinks were being made, including remaking a drink for someone who had just walked in. By the time I got my refund sorted out, the whole situation took around 30 minutes total. I understand mistakes happen, and I'm not trying to be a Karen, but I was disappointed that there didn't seem to be any urgency after realizing I had already been waiting so long. A little more attentiveness and customer care would have gone a long way.
