My neighborhood Starbucks, I love it! Cool, chill vibe. I like to go there when it's not too crowded. Early in the day can be nice.

This is such a nice Starbucks for a gathering and just people watching in the Fairfax District. My Black iced Tea was made nicely, and without any mistakes in the order. I wanted to take more pictures, but it was a tad crowded. I would come back when shopping or in the area. read more

Cool location. Too dog friendly that I can't bring my dog here there's dogs everywhere. Nice outdoor patio. Definitely a location in WeHo or just south of it I guess. Nice view of the street lol. Melrose has some interesting stuff going on. Nothing I wanna pay for tho. Speaking of which yeah it's still Starbucks so expect gross stuff here. Coffee and otherwise read more

Stopped in for a quick pick me up of double shot iced espresso. The service was truly grand and accommodating. The ambiance on melrose is very unique and the ultimate experience. Thanks Starbucks! read more

This Starbucks is pretty big and I like the ambiance. They have seating indoor and outdoors. There are booth seats, stool seats, and tables and chairs. I like how the door by the pick up area is exit only, I feel like it avoids congestion in that area. Their service is good, but sometimes they put too much ice in the drinks. My current favorites are the iced brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso and the matcha frappe with caramel lining of the cup. There has been a time where my colleague and I had to have our drinks remade. I wanted my matcha frappe with caramel lining, but the guy put it all in the bottom of the cup, so every sip I took was only caramel and it was too sweet and gross! The lady was nice about it tho and offered to remake it. Overall all though, this Starbucks is decent read more

1.5 stars. During our week-long trip to the L.A. area (first week of May, 2023), I hit up this Starbucks twice; once to pick up drinks that my best friend ordered for us via the app on the early evening of Sunday, May 7, and again on the afternoon of Tuesday, May 9. May 7 - We sent the kids to go inside to pick up our drinks as we remained in the car, illegally parked in the street in front of the parking lot. They were literally in and out without delay. My Iced Matcha Tea Latte made with Oat Milk was good. Easy peasy, no complaints. May 9 - Came in with my cousins and aunt to sit and rest, drinking coffee, while the kids shopped on Melrose. I don't remember what my cousin ordered, I went with an Iced Shaken Espresso with Oat Milk & Classic Syrup. There wasn't a long line of customers ahead of me at the register, but I waited unusually longer than expected for my beverage. When the barista called out my drink for pick-up, I immediately asked her if she used oat milk. Nope, she used regular milk. Clearly, she didn't read the drink label details, which is super important, especially for those who are lactose intolerant. Good thing that I asked! When my replacement iced drink was ready, the same barista did not even look up to me when confirming that she added classic syrup (I had to ask because, clearly, she could not be trusted). What a total fail on customer service! Additionally, one of the bathrooms was locked because it was out of service. The other restroom was so disgusting I couldn't use it. I almost vomited my breakfast and nearly lost my appetite to drink my coffee. The rest of the cafe appeared to be decent in cleanliness, but the severely dirty lavatory definitely overshadowed any tidy condition in that whole place. At least they have a free parking lot! I would go elsewhere for a caffeine boost, but if you must, beware of the lousy barista customer service and hold your pee if you can! read more

I've been coming to this particular Starbucks coffee house on and off for quite some time starting in the early 2000's. A lot of time had passed since I stepped in, possibly 2018 or 19? So this past week I decided what the heck and grabbed my laptop, some books, and an open mind and came back. First off, I miss the old layout. They used to have wooden chairs and tables, about 10 or so, that lined the window which to my knowledge used to be the old layout of what this place used to be which was a restaurant and the circular shaped window was to resemble the shape of a hamburger, you're welcome for the history lesson . Anyways, I'll probably be back. Sure, cafe etiquette or etiquette in general can be hit or miss unfortunately, ie loud ass people sitting right next to you or my favorite the screaming toddler and the parents that just expect everyone to act like it's normal. But it's a very spacious dining area so there's a way around that. And the baristas were very courteous & personable unlike some other coffee houses I've reviewed here on yelp. I miss some of the employees that I knew peripherally at the time when I used to come here but the new ones seem really nice. I also loved that I still see skater punks and arty young people and it made me hopeful that side of Melrose can have a second life and not just be strictly a place for tourists and yuppie types like so much of L.A. is morphing into. That means a lot to me as an aging Gen X-er who used to shop at now defunct record stores like Bleeker Bob's and Vinyl Fetish and for vintage clothing at the much missed Aardvark's clothing store which were all on Melrose back in the 90's and possibly from the late 80's as well I think. Anyways, I understand that time is long gone, but it's heartwarming that this Starbucks is still open for me and that vibe from back then found it's way into this place with these ramshackle kids I observed walking in with their tats and skate boards the last couple of times I was in there besides me conjuring up those vibes by me brimming with nostalgia from that golden 90's period. Anyways, good vibes both old and possibly new were felt and appreciated from this long time patron. Thanks for letting me indulge. read more

I walked in the Starbucks because the day prior somebody got my order wrong, but I called the next day and let them know what the issue was and there was no negative energy. There was no site of attitude. Everybody was efficient and professional and more than happy to redo my order, I couldn't be more happier thank you Starbucks team!!!!! read more

No cup of water??? unless you order something? wow.I Never was denied for a cup of water except this location good for you for saving ice and water filter read more

Love this location. They always take care of my dog (with a pup cup) and myself with a great brew to start the day. They hustle and go above and beyond to make us happy-- especially Alondra who hooked this guy up with a great cup of birthday coffee. Thanks again! read more

Worts Starbucks in the area. They don't chave cash back. They don't chave even a sign, to say that. I made my order, but when I should pay, they didn't accept a 100 bills, a employed asked me to change in somewhere around here, that's not my function, but I tried help them, even that, they find allowed me buy something. Yes ! I couldn't buy something in the store because they didn't have a change !! That's ridiculous !!! read more

Starbucks - the front of a starbucks coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Unfortunately the girl and guy who makes the drinks constantly touching their mask while making drinks . Don't you guys know ur mouth is number one dirtiest part of your body , you transferring all your germs to customers drink. After 5 min I left I left the store without asking for refund. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR MASKS read more

One star for employees talking to each other instead of helping the only person in line (me). The girl who helped me was sweet but I could tell that she was a new hire because she struggled with my one drink order. She needed help and her fellow employees rather gossip instead of help. After the order was finally put in five minutes later the drink came fast. Great spot for mobile orders but not so much for in store customers. read more

Starbucks - Employees that rather talk with each other than assist an obvious new hire - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I went into the Melrose Starbucks and they are a bunch of rude assholes. Probably because of the harassment from high schoolers that go to Fairfax high. They would not even give you a hot water for free as they advertise as a corporate location . And they don't let you use the bathroom for free. Especially if they don't like you as they did to an elderly gentelman . I was a witness to them denying access to that elderly man just togo to the bathroom. can you imagine the in-hospitality that they showed was unimaginable. They probably thought that elderly guy would take a dump on the floor. There is a tall woman named "EM"which looks like she will bust you in the mouth fyou give her backtalk. All the barristers learn at this location is how to be rude to customers. "April" is another woman who works at the Melrose location. And they call her a manager. This person is teaching all the youngsters. who work there. how to be rude to customers .This location get an "F" grade for not treating customers with respect that they deserve. zero stars for this rating read more

I wish I could give 0 stars to these a%#holes. I stopped drinking Starbucks since I don't know when and will never waste my hard earned money on their anything. My mom walked in asking for a cup of water & Dustin the cashier told her she would have to purchase something for water only..are you f'ing kidding me just for tap water?? We were doing shopping around when I saw my mom without water. I go back to these clowns and tell them my mom had came in for water & sure enough Dustin tells me the same thing that I would have to purchase something. I tell them I'd like to see the policy that states that. They make me wait while another person comes in asking for the same thing Dustin then tells her that she has to purchase something not even asking if she had purchased anything just assumed that she didn't make a purchase, i guess it even hurts them asking questions. After waiting Melissa comes out telling me with her ridiculous attitude that I have to call the number behind the card for their policy after keeping me in waiting for 10 min. This type of service wouldn't even come from a 1 star restaurant The manager of this place needs to clean house immediately, change their stupid policies. Starbucks needs to be BANNED, money hungry fools!! read more

The beverage is fresh and well tasting, the service is well but not 100% paying attention to details. The ambiance is cool and a bit busy feeling. Would come back if I were near. read more

There's a reason this place gets low customer approval ratings. I don't frequent locales with lower than a four-star customer rating because one can expect bad service. Unfortunately, that's why I was not surprised when the cashier couldn't understand that I wanted to reload my card rather than get a refill and the other worker closed the restroom an hour early. What was I expecting good service? Yeah, I am. I wasn't going to get accommodating customer service at this place. Find yourself a local coffee spot instead and use your hotspot. read more

bad establishment no free water given without a purchase at the time of asking for a water, i have never experienced that before. i go to starbucks everyday and already ordered something to this location earlier and i still couldn't get an ice water... baristas are also rude & have an attitude. read more

Great spot for a Starbucks. Nice location, good outdoor patio. Pretty large place to come and do your work or just enjoy company. Friendly staff and great deli :) all in all a 5* Starbucks! read more

ordered/paid for a simple orange juice and mozarella stick through the app. arrived to be told they're out of mozzarella sticks, and that i'd have to go to the front and ask for a refund instead of just processing it for me prior to driving there. i get to the front and ask to apply the balance towards a toasted bagel. the cashier asks if i want cream cheese since they charge for it (dumb), and i say yes. when i get handed my bagel, i don't think much and drive out only to discover it's not been toasted and didn't have cream cheese. this place sucks. go somewhere else. read more

I've lived near this place for more than ten years and used to come frequently. They closed for a time to remodel and must have hired all new people when they re-opened who they didn't bother to train. I went in today an ordered an iced coffee with a splash of cream. It doesn't get more basic than this. I got a block away before realizing that they had put some god awful sweetener in it. When I took it back, the guy said they would remake it and not charge me. What the hell? Of course you won't charge me. lol. The second one came out and was disgusting. About 70% milk and 30% watered down coffee. So, I took it back and said to just give me a refund and give me a hot coffee with a splash of half and half. Third try came out and it was black coffee with what appeared to be a tic tac's worth of half and half. So, I stopped at the bev counter for more cream and finally walked out with my FOURTH iteration of this drink and it still tasted like poopyshit. The remodel is very nice and the patio is lovely to sit on if you try not to think about all the shootings happening on Melrose right now. A scroll down the reviews and it looks like I'm not alone in thinking this location has gone down the tubes. read more

I had a bad experience with the lemonade. It does not taste good. Service was great though

I found this Starbucks last night when I wanted a caffeine jolt before a play. It was easy to get to, but as with most Starbucks in LA, parking is an issue. This had some spaces but the only one left was a handicapped spot. Off to a nearby meter where I paid almost as much as my drink cost. The drink was good, the service was fast, and the wifi was dependable and fairly quick. I just wish there were more Starbucks with parking lots in LA. read more

Great music playlist, but it's way TOO LOUD. Deafening. Big lineup at the bathroom because someone was camped out in there. Management did nothing.

I've been to so so many Starbucks and this one really let me down. I placed a mobile order so I don't know how their customer service is but my drink was terrible!! They didn't make it the way I requested and they filled my WHOLE cup with ice!!! For an almost $7 drink this is insane! I finished the whole coffee in less than 5 sips!! Would not recommend at all and will be requesting a refund. read more

Horrible service with attitude at the pickup zone! I ordered grande iced americano in venti cup with extra ice since it's 103 outside today and I didn't want melted americano. But it was melted when he hand it to me so I asked " can I get a cup of ice please?" Then he replies with "You need to ask at front when you order next time..... (Awkward silence and looking at each other)..... please.", then he added" I am giving you in small cup " Dude! I asked already and you didn't read my order on your cup correctly! Don't act snappy when you messed up!!!! read more

Definitely the worst store in West Hollywood and possibly one of the worst in the city! The store is dirty and always jam packed full of people who stand in line outside like a concert just to use the bathroom. Not to mention the unfriendly store manager Alec, with no personality. Who makes no attempt whatsoever to connect with customers or improve the store. The area is also super dangerous where a lot of robberies occur, as well as shootings over pairs of shoes... One time in 2020 the store had to be shut down for the day as someone was shot on the same street as the store! Not a good place for Angelenos or tourists, so beware coming to this store or Melrose. Not as glamorous as it may seem! read more

One of the best and coolest looking Starbucks in LA. The patio outdoor seating is very nice. Shop is spacious and very busy morning, afternoon with alot of Industry people. It slows down at night. I thought the Staff are some of the best I've seen-very efficient and on top of the high customer volume. The location is great for meetings in the middle of the trendy Melrose shopping district. Top 5 'bucks in LA. read more

Fairly large Starbucks with indoor and outdoor seating right smack in the Melrose hip scene. Lines can get long during peak hours, but they maintain multiple clerks to keep things moving along. Not much parking in the Starbucks lot itself and the adjoining public lot is not free. Street parking available too but beware of residential permit only - read signs carefully. read more

Hello, What a beautiful location, great atmosphere but poorly costumer service. Didn't Cleo woke up in a good mood today? - Go back home! Flies on the food display made me give up on a delicious lunch I was planning to have, and politely was mention to him and I guess.. He doesn't really care about at all. You need more positivity, hygiene people work in this location. Lost a huge costumer ! read more

I come here frequently as I work less than a block away. Typically the service is great but today the cashier was EXCEPTIONALLY RUDE. She asked me to repeat my order 3 times --- my voice is loud and projects so my voice was not the problem. Then my order was wrong, then the sandwich I ordered looked like it was tossed in and wasn't even completely a sandwich. When the girl handed my change back to me she sat it on the counter too far for me to reach, forcing me to reach behind the counter just to retrieve it. I told her please don't do that to anyone else and she looked at me and raised her eyebrows like it was amusing to her. I am DONE with this location. Horrible. read more
