This is such a busy Starbucks filled with students with after-school homework spread out on tables, and Tweens just hanging out on the comfy sofas throughout the restaurant. There is a Larchmont School nearby, which I assume is a private school, as the students all look well off and in designer clothes. The drinks here are done well, and the clientele non-threatening. I would come back when in the area, as there seems to be enough parking in this rather small mini-mall. read more

Starbucks - Pastry selection - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My favorite Starbucks location in LA! My drinks are always perfect & come out quick, and the team here (especially the girls) are so friendly, helpful and kind. This location also just had the "local coffee shop" remodel and looks completely different than the other Starbucks in the area - giving a more cozy, lived in vibe - so there are a lot of chairs, tables, couches, and seating areas - just in case you're looking for a place to read or study. And they have outdoor seating and a parking lot!!!!! read more

I was waiting for 35 minutes and they didn't make my drink. So they refund my money back.

I've been coming here for years, but over the last few months it's really been hit or miss with the barista that you get. There's one guy in particular who murders, and I mean that in the worst way, my drink every single time. On my last occasion, he overfilled my drink to the point where it was spilling all over the side of the Cup. He proceeds to put the cap on the cup and hand it to me with sticky coffee all over it. When I asked for a napkin to wipe the cup off, he takes his apron and wipe it off with the apron, then hand it to me. Today I don't even have words, but look at my "shaken" oatmilk espresso in the photo. There are still a few great ppl here which I why I still come but they really gotta get the newbies together read more

Starbucks - Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

There are several Starbucks locations in the L.A. area that I've become really familiar with over the years. Service at this location is usually great, friendly and efficient. My drinks almost always come out just right. This location also has more seating than many of their other locations, though depending on the time of day it can get crowded with students from a nearby school. The parking lot is small and limited to 30 minutes, but there is 2-hour street parking just a little bit down Occidental. I've never been unable to find a space. My only complaint about this location is that they have the music pumped up way too loud. Maybe it's an attempt to drive off homeless people, which I understand might be an issue they're trying to address... but it also defeats the idea of sitting with a coffee and relaxing for a bit or (heaven forbid) getting a bit of work done. I tried to listen to a podcast once but even my noise canceling headphones couldn't overcome the thumping music on the Starbucks speakers. For this reason, and this reason only, I wouldn't recommend this Starbucks if you are looking to do anything with earbuds in. Great for socializing and take-out, though! read more

This coffee shop is within walking distance to me, so I frequent it quite often. The coffee is decent enough. However, if you want to work you better have GOOD noise cancelling headphones. I do, and even then the music seeps into my ears. Now, I'm not easily distracted per se, but the music is distractingly loud. If I ask them to turn it down, it's a hit or miss depending on who is behind the counter. The employees chit chat a lot and seem to have fun, which is great! But does the music need to be so loud? No. This is a coffee shop where people come to work, hang out, or simply sit and sip their drink. I won't stop coming, but they should take the patrons into consideration when they decide to blast music like its a rave. read more

This Starbucks is dope af! The servers were very friendly and helpful and the environment was great - lively and fun.

Where do I start. This Starbucks has been one of the best I have ever been to and that is because of the people there and to be more specific because of this young girls name who starts with Mai. She was really helpful and was in great spirits and best of all cool. She really knew how to engage with not only myself but others as well. She made sure my order was taken care of. I will come back to this Starbucks just for the music and the vibes, it was great and refreshing to hear anything other than boring Starbucks music. To top it off my sandwich came out nice and warm as well! I hope she gets some recognition out there! read more

Today I walked in and the girl didn't even greet me I paid with cash and I'm surprised they even took it plenty of times I tried to pay with $100 and they couldn't get me change proceeding to get my food I ask for 3 large waters to go and the girl who handled my order was chatting it up with the male co worker she being female I asked for waters and she handed them to me after she asked if I needed the cup holder which she also handed to me but she saw I was eating my food in the other hand so why couldn't she just place my waters in the holes for me. I mean that it was a saw her other co worker do to another male guest so why couldn't she give me the range or better service instead of paying attention to me I'm helping me with finishing my order she made me place my own waters myself while I'm my other hand I was eating. She should have done it for me which is why I paid in full so I should receive full service not only she was paying more attention to him. Everything else was fine read more

This review goes straight towards the one employee who covered a shift at the Starbucks in the Chapman Plaza. I believe his name is Trenton or Trevor? His name starts with a T!!He has great customer service, He goes above and beyond and has a really good vibe. Thank you for making my Sunday! read more

This has been my go to Starbucks as it is closed to my residence. I know some of the wonderful baristas in this branch. Given that I order customized drink, they have been very patient with my request. Special Shout out to Ryan and Priscilla. I forgot one the barista's name, a young man with glasses who has been very helpful. Thanks again! read more

My go to location, there's several Starbucks locations around. But this one it's always the best. The staff it's always friendly and in a great mood. Coffee always to my liking! Music it's always great, not too loud . Kids friendly which makes it so much better 10/10. read more

I come here frequently to sit and enjoy their coffee because I live close by, however today my iced coffee was awful. The coffee tasted like it had been sitting out for a very long time it also tasted watery and bitter! Service is really great but they really need to improve upon the freshness of their coffee for me to continue going. read more

I drop by this morning to get coffee and needed the restroom. The staff were standing behind the register chitchatting and asked me if I needed help. I asked to use the restroom first but they denied me access stating that they were out of service. So I ended up leaving because there was no point getting coffee with s full bladder. I cannot believe both men and women stalls were out of service at 6:45 am. Where do the staff pee? I would put 0 stars if I could. read more

It is better than before. I used to got coffee not fresh before. Now it is much beeter.

I love this Starbucks , service is really good fast , friendly they always said good morning soon as you walk in ,I feel welcome every time I come by food is always fresh , I love my smoke breskfast sand .. they always playing really nice music . read more

PROS: - Very spacious inside. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating - Good for studying alone or with a small group - Lots of plugs located around, perfect for charging your phone or laptop - Employees are always professional - Opens early, closes late CONS: - Gets super busy around 3 because of students that attend the nearby schools - Parking is horrible. There's a small lot right in front - Be patient. You can try to find street parking - Their presence in this particular spot is going to rack up the value of Ktown and make everything else expensive read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

To start this review I'd like to say I was not a Starbucks or coffee shop-type person but rather preferred to drink coffee from the comfort of my own home. I always feared going into a coffee shop and being greeted by rude baristas who were tired of their jobs and hordes of people but to my surprise, it was the complete opposite when visiting this Starbucks. I would like to give a very special thank you to the 4 wonderful Baristas who have helped make this Starbucks a staple in my commute. From the ambiance to the generosity and willingness to help they made sure I felt welcomed and they even recommended movies and music, it is clear how cultured they are (my cup of tea...or coffee). And most important of all, is how clean they keep the place. Thank you to Ryan, Maiya, Elizabeth, and Vee as they have exceeded my expectations and are always working so hard. Every time I step into this store I know I will be leaving happy and satisfied which is why I recommend this store to anyone. I hope to see them climb the ladders of employment and get raises as they deserve every last cent! Thank you to them there is still faith in the service/fast food industry! read more

I went in to get refill with January refill tumbler and the service was horrible. They did not know how to charge for free refill plus my order was not right. I ordered coffee with milk. When I got my coffee, it was black coffee. I asked for milk to be added and they give me an odd look and pour milk on the tumbler. I asked it's is spilled over tumbler and they did not listen. I personally had to go to the trash bin to spill out some of my coffee so I can put my lid to close. read more

This location is fairly large and great for working if you're within walking distance. Staff has been nothing but friendly and the restrooms are always clean (although usually out of hand soap). The only charging outlets that are functional are the ones at the community table near where you pick up drinks. There are comfier seats by the entrance but the outlets do not work. read more

When I first moved here 6 months ago, I knew it was going to be a bit of a challenge to find a store that I can consider "my local starbucks", especially considering how many surrounding stores are around this area. I can singlehandedly say that every time I've walked in here, busy or not, early in the morning or late in the afternoon, I've always been greeted with a friendly "hello" or a smile, which for some reason you don't get at a lot of at other cafe stores. In short, the baristas here are all so friendly, some of which have taken the time to remember my name which goes a long way for me. They're always so helpful, friendly, patient, and never once have I left this location having had a bad experience or even a bad drink. Id give out some names, but they're honestly all so great and amazing with time efficiency. And though I do prefer drive thru's, I make the extra time to come out of my way a little ways down the street. So thanks to all the lovely baristas here for bringing such lovely energy to the store. read more

Starbucks - Iced espresso w/white mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I never write a review, but I am soo upset I need to let you all know what just happened this one particular guy who's working this establishment claimers to be the supervisor He denied me access to the bathroom claiming they were closing. I had 28 more minutes before closing he didn't let me use it. He is not a human he is disrespectful and beyond rude. I bought a sandwich and stood in line for the bathroom. The line was not moving no so I let outside to finish my sandwich, by the time I went inside. He said I can't use it even anymore even after he saw me standing in line for it. Costumer service 0 I can't give 0 or I would read more

Horrible Starbucks! Honestly it's a hit or miss. Most of the time a miss. You need to fully check your order. Cold cheese danish which tasted old. And worst I ordered a Grande Caramel Macchiato with almond milk and triple shots. Tell me why I only got warm almond milk. Most expensive drink ever. I realized it was only milk when I got to work. Be aware that they are rude, slow and clearly incompetent to follow drink orders. This is not the first time they mess up. read more

Stopped by for quick catches up with friends. I wanted drink coffee so badly and I called my friend to meet me at this place. We ordered ice americano, Caramel Frappuccino, caramel brûlée latte, ice caramel brûlée latte and cheese danish. And we chatted little and the barista call my name and she explained me for no more brûlée latte with apologized and I was ok with that. I changed ordered caramel ice macchiato with extra syrup and hot caramel macchiato. She bring cheese danish to me and it was nice. They're always call name and have to pick it up. Drinks wasn't tasted bad. But I loved drink caramel brûlée latter. I wanted give a try that next time here. This Starbucks is bigger than other and restroom was very clean than other Starbucks. read more

Great no nonsense Starbucks with no line! Restrooms are closed right now due to Covid. Barista was courteous and quick. Parking lot was smaller but parking seemed to open up pretty quickly. No drive thru. read more

I love this Starbucks. I work nearby and come here regularly. The employees are amazing and so nice. The drink I order is immaculate every single day. They know how to make their drinks unlike other locations I frequent. This time of day is all I look forward to all day and this location really lives up to my high expectations and provide amazing service. I know they don't have a drive thru but besides that there is not one negative. Thank you to the wonderful employees! read more

Consistently awful service. They mix up online orders with in-store ones - I waited a while to get my drink or food a few times now because of these mix-ups. I saw the staff point at me and look me in the eye on the other side of the room and say something I couldn't hear - unprofessional for a Starbucks branch (Starbucks is a great company and the staff here just isn't a great representation of Starbucks culture!!!). Today my drink was set down on a huge puddle in the order pick-up area and in response the staff just said "I'll clean it up later". Who knows what that liquid contained?! Gross. Messed up. 2 stars. read more

This place was great when they first opened, but since then they have declined drastically. Being the only Starbucks north of Wilshire, the place gets packed and parking is horrific. Because of this, the demands are higher and quality of customer service and preparation is poor. I've ordered my drinks with Almond milk. Once, I've even questioned if they just poured regular milk in my drink vs almond milk. The barista blatantly lied to me. It was clear she poured from the gallon size jug. Being lactose and soy intolerant causing major abdominal pain, it was clear they either don't care or read customer's requests. The staff need to be aware of customers food intolerance and allergies. This can cause severe discomfort or severe food interactions. Come midday, the trash and creamer counter is left full and unkept. read more

Virginia is amazing! We were in a bit of a rush and me and my friend didn't know what we wanted but she gave us some quick suggestions and we took them! Thank you for being so friendly and awesome!

A real oasis in the middle of a kind of crazy neighborhood, Lots of tables inside and outside, super friendly, the manager V? is on top of everything, cleaning, sweeping, making sure the baristas are keeping up. Gets a little crowded around 4 when the high schools let out, but everyone is very respectful. One can sit off in the corner and read/coffee and not get hassled, one of the few sit-down Starbucks left in the area, also across the street from an excellent local public library. I've even reached the point where I can say, "the usual" and on a good day, it is provided without further explanation. read more

Does anyone know what happened? Cannot order ahead and app says restaurant is closed. Favorite items is always out of supply.

Most friendly Starbucks I've been to! Thank you so much Tim for hooking it up!

Just wanted to come on here and leave a quick review about HECTOR!!! I come to this Starbucks every now and then. Everyone is kind, but today I just wanted to give a shout out to Hector for going above and beyond with his hospitality. I was having a good day...and he just turned me up another notch, with his smile, great personality, and just feel-food vibes. Oh, and the drink Frap was EVERYTHING read more

I both love and hate this Starbucks, here's why: Product - it's Starbucks so I can skip that bc face it we're all addicted. Staff - very, very cool people here. Actually some of the best considering I've had some reaaally sh!tty Starbucks experiences over the years. Location - very convenient for me bc it's close to my dry cleaners and I'm always at the dry cleaners. HOWEVER, I also hate this location bc it's in a small but very nice center but their presence as a tenant has totally f#cked up everything! Please, people of Ktown, get your coffee and go! This is not a good place to just post up all day!!!! Growl!!! read more

Starbucks - Smoked butterscotch, leave me be while I drink dis thanks. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I went here to study on all day on weekends and occasionally on weekdays after 7. Considering we're in LA with many, many Starbucks locations to choose from, I pick this one. It is situated in a small plaza, which has a small parking lot, which I love (better than others where there are no parking spots OR you have to pay for parking!!). Parking always isn't easy because it can get full. Just wait a little and a spot will open up eventually. It's easy on weekdays to park here. Since it is by a few schools, it can get busy around 3-4pm. The staff have always been friendly with me and I've interacted with quite a few with them. read more

I went to pick up a simple black coffee and waited so long why did this snob named ASH roll her eyes when i asked for my coffee. Then i asked the other lady who was the manager that idiot proceeded to say WHY? Really what manager answers in that manner. She was the manager IVONNE. As i stood standing there waiting i didnt realize that i was listening to inappropriate music. I then told IVONNE and she just moved her shoulders. Really a mgr. Does that. I find them disgusting but not all the employees are like that. Theres a 2 others that are very polite and helpful. read more

Only Starbucks in the area I'll go to. Never to crowded and the workers here are A+. I've even witnessed a worker helping out a blind gentleman by guiding him to a seat and instead of yelling his name when his drink was ready, the worker walked it out from around the corner and let him know he set it on the table in-front of him. One of many positive interactions I've seen and had with the workers at this location. I wish I knew all of their names so I could give them the credit they deserve. read more
