    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.

    I always try to stop by this Starbucks to grab my coffee and croissant. Everything is delicious. Staff is great, price is affordable. Highly recommend

    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).

Their in-house syrups are pretty good and coffee/espresso generally taste like a smooth pull. There has been maybe twice where the vanilla oat latte was a bit lacking on the vanilla flavor but besides that they're generally consistent and good. The app is really useful too if you're in a hurry in the mornings! I'd definitely recommend this place.

Staff is friendly & greets upon entry. Ordering is done through one large tablet, and drinks came out surprisingly fast. Minor observation - there's so much glare on the screen during the day being directly across the windows, but not a dealbreaker. The menu mentions that hot teas make the wait time a bit longer cause they heat it'll up. Topping options are somewhat limited, but that's perfectly fine for me since I always choose aloe vera. They also offer soy and oat milk alternatives, though the menu notes that dairy provides the creamiest texture for their milk teas and encourages you to stick with dairy if you can have it. Mountain Rock Oolong Tea Latte is a solid option. The HNT Trinity Latte is an interesting option if you're indecisive. It combines three different teas into one drink, and I could definitely pick up both jasmine and oolong notes. Overall, a clean and efficient tea shop with friendly service and quality tea - will stop by again when I'm in the area!

The service was friendly, though understandably a bit slow because of the constant crowd. The line may look intimidating at first, but it's mostly because orders take a while to prepare rather than an overwhelming number of customers. If you visit, make sure you have plenty of time and don't mind being in a crowded space. The drinks were good overall, but definitely on the sweeter side for my taste. I'd recommend asking for less sugar or using an unsweetened oat milk option if available, since even the milk seemed to add quite a bit of sweetness. One thing that was concerning was the seating. One of the chairs at our table was already damaged, and a member of our group unexpectedly fell backward when it gave out. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt, but it was a scary experience. We showed the staff that the chair had already been broken. The chairs are quite small and delicate, so I'd suggest checking your seat before sitting down and being a little cautious. Overall, it's a nice spot if you're looking for a cute café and don't mind waiting, but I'd recommend visiting during a less busy time and customizing your drink if you prefer it less sweet.
