    I love the baristas at this location . Always friendly and welcoming. Today I got to try their oleato and it might be favorite new drink. Paired with a slice of their lemon loaf and you got the perfect afternoon pick me up.

    Having visited this Starbucks a handful of times on a Sunday morning or after work, I think it's a typical/reliable Starbucks. Easy to access from El Torro Road, and located close to two of the major supermarkets - Stater Bros and Grocery Outlet. I do wish the indoor area had more seating, as it can get cramped during rush hour. But, I like that they have outdoor seating, and the staff is friendly and helpful, in my experience.

    Well I was gonna give four stars but as I exited, And went to use the hand germ Dispenser and it's completely empty. Awhile back they had comfortable chairs and even a love seat. Now there's just awkward hard chairs to get us in and Quickly get us out.

    Just your normal, average Starbucks on El Toro and Trabuco. They don't have the pick up option through your Starbucks app over here. There is a little bit of seating area inside and outside, and parking is not that difficult. It's a clean store, they have everything you can get in any of the other stores (except for the peppermint mocha twice in the last week). Nothing to brag about the store with your friends and neighbors, but it's a nice, clean Starbucks.

    Update: 2020 So, something has changed since COVID and they have been awesome. The energy here is so much better the staff has been so pleasant. I have visited several times for the pumpkin spice season, and they are consistently kind! The lattes have been delicious as well and I recommend giving them a shot if you have had poor experiences in the past. Good vibes! Proof that companies can turn a corner and change for the better if they choose. If you have had disappointing experiences in the past here, give them another shot-- I did and am happy to report positive experiences now. ------------ Update: Poor customer service today! I clearly ordered two old fashioned donuts, a lemon cake, and a coffee then paid. I am waiting for the last item for an extended period of time and nobody asks can they assist me. Finally, I approach the young lady making the coffees to see if the last item is coming and she yells for the last item. We both notice the item I stated was in the bag, but another item was missing and she says 'well, if you want that item you'll just have to go back around and pay for it since it doesn't look like she rung it up.' Not only was that moment a reflection of the fact that they didn't care about the customers time, but now I am some how at fault for the cashiers error. Starbucks was once the premiere coffee go to shop, but they are becoming the McDonalds of coffee...skip a rock and you can hit another location. UPDATE: tried this location to is evening and the late afternoon crew is much nicer and more social.

    I love their curbside pick up option- it was a huge plus during the height of the pandemic when I was avoiding going into store unnecessarily and it continues to be helpful post vaccinations/with numbers getting a bit more under control. Popped out during my lunch break today to run an errand and ordered in the app for curbside pickup to grab on my way back home- my drink was ready right as scheduled, tasted perfect, and was delivered to my car by a friendly face moments after I clicked the "i'm here" button in my app. Thank you to the baristas at this location for delivering great service! :)

    Ordered a big order 25 mins prior since I know they are always busy. I finally was given the option to curbside and once again I have to get off to pick up my order when clearly I was in the vehicle. My husband heard when she said their was no one in the car smh.

    This is the Starbucks I'd recommend of the many in the area. Not a ton of seating inside, but they have generally been quicker to serve.

    This is kind of funny…read more After work, I was searching for a coffee shop nearby like I usually do, but nothing really caught my attention. So I decided to search outside the area where I live, and that's how I ended up finding this place. The funny part is that I had actually been wanting to visit this coffee shop because I saw their "Fun Flight" menu and thought it looked so interesting. I kept telling myself that I had to come try it someday. But when I searched this time, I was actually looking for a real coffee roaster and ended up here without even realizing it was the same place. Parking was easy and there were plenty of spaces. There are also other shops around, so I don't think parking would be much of an issue. The coffee shop itself was clean, bright, and nice and cool inside. I noticed one of the employees carefully cleaning the glass, and they kept wiping down empty tables and windows throughout the time I was there. Honestly, I've rarely seen someone cleaning so consistently at a coffee shop, and I really appreciated it. It made me feel like they genuinely care about cleanliness. Since it was already afternoon, I wanted something decaf, so I asked if they roast their own decaf coffee. They told me that they roast everything themselves, which immediately gave me more confidence in the coffee. I ordered a flat white and sat down, but then I realized I had completely forgotten to say "iced." Sure enough, I saw the employee making a hot drink. Well... that's totally on me! Soon my coffee came out with a beautiful latte art on top. And then I took my first sip... Oh my goodness. This is GOOD coffee! There was a slight acidity at first, but as I kept drinking, the acidity faded and I was left with a smooth, nutty, creamy latte flavor. I personally prefer medium roasts over dark roasts, and this roast was exactly my kind of coffee. Now I'm suddenly very curious about their matcha, too. I also liked that the overall pricing wasn't too expensive. The Wi-Fi did seem a little slow at times, but it wasn't slow enough to really bother me. And now I'm still sitting here debating whether I should order the matcha latte... The coffee was definitely delicious, and I already know I'll be coming back. Next time, I'm absolutely getting the Fun Flight so I can try several different coffees! Great coffee, clean space, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Definitely worth another visit!

    Came here on a whim yesterday to nest and study and I am so glad that I did! The coffee shop had…read moreplenty of seating and was very clean (I'm a neat freak so was definitely happy about this). They also had several outlets for to charge devices if needed and delicious air conditioning. The baristas were very friendly and kind and the atmosphere felt very comfy and relaxing. I especially liked their very chill music playlist. I ordered: - iced matcha latte w oat milk and vanilla (barista recommended) - banana oatmeal with cinnamon, peanut butter and choco chips - plain bagel w cream cheese I really enjoyed the iced matcha, it is probably one of the better ones I have in OC. The matcha was super smooth and with the addition of the vanilla it created a sweet happy layer to it. I need to come back to try the other drinks! The banana oatmeal, while looking very tasty, didn't pass my satisfaction meter. The oatmeal in the bowl was cold and it was a thin layer of oats that laid on the bottom of the bowl. Presentation great, but for 9$, I would have wanted there to be at least 1-2 more scoops of oats in there to make it worth it. The plain bagel with cream cheese, I really enjoyed. The bagel was huge and it has a good toastiness to it. Additionally, the cream cheese was very light, not too rich and it helped make a delicious carb. Overall, I would definitely come back here to try other drinks and pastries from their menu! I also loved that the parking lot is easy to access and there are ample spots! Definitely try this spot, if you're in the area!

This time asking them for no cold foam. When they brought the drink to me it had cold foam, again and I had to send it back. So here were are 30 minutes later, 3 tries later and I'm now realizing I paid for another drink that was given to me incorrectly the first time...not to mention this place is not very inexpensive.

Lots of business people post up out here working or taking meetings, which makes it lively. Whenever I've been in, service has been friendly and I've never had an issue. The coffee is yummy and so are the pastries, and my little one is obsessed with their gelato. Milk options are great too, though they do upcharge for them, which is a minor gripe at most. I mostly stick to lattes, but their signature and seasonal drinks are worth branching out for. The coconut cloud matcha in particular is incredible. They also have an app with a loyalty program, which is a small but appreciated bonus for regulars. This is actually their flagship location, and they roast their own beans on site, so you can watch the roasting process happen while you sip your drink, a fun detail most people probably walk right past. Only real gripe is that they close at 2pm on weekends, which is exactly when I usually swing by. Wish they'd push it to 3pm. A girl can dream.
