Eh, it's a Starbucks. Just like any other Starbucks. The standout about this location is that it is situated on Main Street right next to the creek so you can drink your coffee in a nice setting. The nice thing about Starbucks is convenience, pleasant ambiance and consistency. The bad thing about Starbucks is that their coffee kinda sucks. But still, I give it 3 stars for providing a valuable service, although I will default to Legal Grounds up the street when it is open. read more

This is the Starbucks we normally hit when in the area. Our friend is well known here and if the weather permits we sit outside and enjoy the location. They always get the drinks correct and we have no complaints. read more

Starbucks - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Martinez, California

Old City Hall building, this little branch of Starbucks indeedy can be found enveloped within bricks of history. Love the beautiful building and the nice greens alongside a creek and spacious patio space. Place has plenty of little tables, chairs, display cases lookin' alive and the bathrooms clean and large. Can't wait to return to jury duty and partake in the special that commences tomorrow: $2 for any artisan b-fast sammich with purchase of any drink... Another breakfast nailed down for the gung-ho civic duty-goer (uh, yes, I did handwrite them a letter requesting them to please select me for jury duty, I did...) read more

I miss this starbucks!! I used to work down the street and we were all regulars. Now our job is across town and the new starbucks just isn't the same. This one was great. The baristas all knew what they were doing, and they all got to know you, too! Everyone here is a regular, with all of the lawyers and police that are downtown. Like the Cheers theme, "everybody knows your name" Miss it! read more

I frequent Starbucks as I get a fair few gift cards, and I have to say that this is my favourite location. Not only is it my closest coffee shop, it's got a special place in my heart. My first visit I ended up staying from 10am until close to get my work done as the power had gone out at my house. The staff were so friendly and attentive, and they even gave me a free drink as I'd been there so long. Now when I go in, I've been amazed that my name has been remembered. It's such a nice feeling! I used to go to the Starbucks in my hometown in Oxford, UK every single day. Not once did they ever remember my name. Or even care to! read more

Starbucks - Great free wifi! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Martinez, California

Not that many people. It's the first Starbucks which I felt comfortable in. The Santa photo hut was right next door making this the natural ending spot after a photo shoot. The staff here were nice enough and the place was clean. Looks like the customers were normal people not out to kill anyone: always a bonus when murder isn't on the mind. Would come here again! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Martinez, California

The service here is absolutely wonderful. Such friendly and helpful staff. Thanks to the gentleman who let me use the restroom first!

Today was actually better because one of the original girl that have there for long time. I ask her if she could make my drink for me and she said yes with no problem and I thank her for that. I had a problem a few days ago when I went in there and I had ask another girl make my coffee for me and I told no and so when I went back on Friday morning I told her that my coffee was terrible and that's why I had ask her to make she apologized and took care of my order I've been going to the Starbucks on Main st in Martinez for 6yrs read more

Though quick walk from the Amtrak Station it is convenient but again my coffee is warm at best. Asked if fresh yes it is but warm. Staff is friendly for the AM times. Typical Starbucks no frills read more

This starbucks is never consistent with my drink. I order from here at least 4 days a week and my cup is never filled to the top. I always get cut short of my drink for the price they should make sure it's full when you make a mobile order. The counter where you get the sugar is never clean and to many homeless people just sitting around and not buying anything. I love starbucks but this is pushing me to go somewhere else in the area. The workers need to put a little more effort into mobile order drinks. read more

I rarely venture into MTown Proper, but on the odd Saturday or Sunday morning will find myself here with Jack and the wee ones. Cinzia + Reno see the logo and start chanting "hot coco" immediately. How can I say nein! This starbucks is comfortable (I know, I know, they all look the same) but this one seems to flow nicely. Plus there's tons of outdoor seating to sit, enjoy my latte and look at all the closed antique shops. read more

I wanted to write this review because the young girl Nicki who helped me figure out my starbucks app was very kind & genuine. It was a little busy and she was still happy to help me while making lots of drinks. She made my husband & I's latte's and they were excellent. Great customer service! read more

I went here with my boyfriend on a Sunday afternoon. It was quiet, chill, and hot as hell. Why give it 2 stars? I ordered a SOY latte (it costs extra for soy) and I was watching the guy over the counter make it. I saw him make it with regular milk . I told him (nicely) twice that I asked for soy. He got mad , cursed, and made it again. Sorry to be so upfront, but I am lactose intolerant, so even a drop of milk in me will screw up my whole day. Starbucks management: Please train all staff to be courteous. I am not from the area and this was my first time coming in and certainly my last time. Lack of customer service left a bad taste in my mouth . read more

There are good and bad things about this particular Starbucks. To wit: GOOD - It's a rather pretty location, and the staff in there are always really really nice. The store and its restroom are tidy and well stocked, drinks are tasty, no complaints there at all! BAD - They have a great location in the heart of downtown Martinez, and there are a lot of other locally owned coffee shops that they no doubt take a lot of business from. I don't cast judgment as I'm guilty of choosing them over the local guys myself for some reason, almost like a kneejerk reaction to go in there instead of hunting down a simpler option. So it's a personal goal, and hopefully its yours too, to share my coffee business with them and other local spots like Legal Grounds. Tasty drinks and prime real estate! read more

If you are going to court, get coffee and it will be a better experience.... TRUST ME. This is not the best Starbucks, and Starbucks is not the best coffee place, but 'round these parts, it is. Service is friendly, not big but usually enough seating, crowd is strange mix of court people, lawyers, social workers, mentally challenged individuals, homeless drug addicts, young kids and more. read more

This has to be the most filthy Starbucks I have ever visited. I've been here many times in the past, but somewhere along the line they removed the 3 comfortable chairs they had for sitting and talking and replaced it with a small wooden table and a couple of chairs. This is no longer a comfortable place to sit down-and spend some time having coffee. I sat in a coffee shop for nearly an hour, and the tables were never wiped down even one time. There were spilled coffee on 2 of them trash left out on all of them and the sugar and cream counter where everybody goes was just filthy. There are cleaner Starbucks Coffee houses in the New York Subway system. read more

I come here almost every day; the people and service are great. I've had bad experiences in a Starbucks, but never this one. The staff know they are often the first people you encounter in the outside world on a given workday morning and greet everyone with a great attitude even though their day started waaay earlier than yours. I know people will get on Yelp and complain about the homeless...but if you're on Yelp complaining about people who have nowhere to live and nothing to eat trying to stay warm, maybe some self analysis is in order. Starbucks treats homeless people like people, and a consequence of that is you might have to tolerate them sitting nearby while you get your pumpkin spice latte (which you will probably complain about too). Martinez has a fair amount of homeless, so unless you want Starbucks to toss out everyone who looks unkempt or you have a plan for housing and feeding them, they have the same rights and are part of the package deal. read more

This place is in a nice location in downtown Martinez. I happened to be in downtown for business and was in the mood for a hot cup of joe and this hit the spot. I ordered the seasonal Pumpkin Latte and it was good. The lobby was clean and you had wifi but it was a bit slow. I did have to walk to the location but that was ok, but be aware if you are trying to find parking in downtown Martinez during business hours. read more

Starbucks - Carmel Brûlée Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Martinez, California

Went here Sunday morning during farmers market and one of the baristas was so rude! "Lady" with the very short red hair was a total B.

Slow. Always seems understaffed . Service is nothing special. I never go here unless States Coffee is jam packed . I don't understand why they don't just serve iced coffees at the cashier counter like Peet's. It's much more efficient to keep the line moving read more

This is my favorite Starbucks ever! They're usually always busy due to location, but they never miss the bar when it comes to costumer service. I really love how the manager, Lachelle, is always so happy and joyful even when she seems to be under stress. You can tell that her energy radiates on to her employees. It's true there are a lot of Starbucks around, but none that compare to this Martinez location! read more

Staff is amazing, location is great, and the drinks are served how you order them! I guess you would consider me a regular, as coworkers and I are there every weekday. We walk in, and if they're not slammed, they have our drinks started and sometimes ready by the time we get to the counter. When they're slammed, they're still fast! We never wait more than a few minutes, even when there are a bunch of people there. I'm very thankful for the crew this Starbucks has built. They're really great people, who always have a smile, funny comment, or silly dance move to make our day better! Thank you for making our morning coffee run a pleasure!!! Going to any other Starbucks isn't the same, and though I've made that mistake a few times, I won't let it happen again! read more

The only reason I am not putting a 1 star is because the girl katelynn behind the bar was busting her butt and she was so focused on all the orders while the redhead next to her moseyed her way about. I had a mobile order and got 2 of my drinks and food yet they were supposedly working on my last drink. I watch 6 orders be made by again this girl busting her butt only to finally ask where my drink was and nothing. I'm sitting there staring at you for 10 min waiting for my drink the redheads response was "oh I'm sorry I thought you left" like wait are you serious I'm literally waiting and you see me staring at you but you thought I left! I did not hear my name being called because it wasn't called. I know because I was standing right there and listening for it. She clearly needs some confidence in the customer service department because if I saw one of my customers waiting with a clearly annoyed face and just looked back down, I would not be employed. Never would I ever just look at a customer and put my head down. Ask if I need anything, ask what I'm waiting for so you can give me some info. You are at work not me and I shouldn't have to ask you where my drink is that is now not hot because it sat there for 10 min. So disappointing. read more

I have to give this Starbucks some major cred for being here. I was driving to Sacramento and I thought I could hold off on a bathroom break before I get there...but the call of nature was super strong. Thus, I made the detour exit right before the Toll Plaza and headed down what seemed like forever to downtown Martinez. The drive seemed to take forever...at least from my bladder standpoint...but once I found a spot and ran into this Starbucks to use their bathroom(I bought a drink! I'm not going to dash in and out!), I got to take a look at this locale. I've never been through Martinez but this location in downtown is nice. I overheard conversations of local customers interacting with the baristas, a few of them being local neighbor business owners. It certainly had a unique small town vibe. This probably was the only Starbucks in the area because the line was LONG. Only one girl was handling all the drink prep and I felt really bad for her...she even had to redo a couple of drinks because a few people didn't like how it turned out! There were three other guys there who were doing the register and grinding coffee and none of really helped her out. She eventually got it all done but she looked really stressed. Thanks to my bladder, I got to walk around and visit downtown Martinez that includes this Starbucks. Hopefully next time I come back here, it won't be in an emergency type situation. read more

Come to this location before work sometimes, today the clerks were selective on who they help. Did not pronounce my name right after I told the person 3x! Also if you can't say good morning to everyone that comes into your place of business, then don't show up just stay home. read more

I miss Langston...but still love the weekday morning crew! They know me, my drink and the fact that I want all my morning crack supplies rung up separately(gotta get my Starbucks app points!!!) Even on a bad day, they make me laugh (like Drea wearing that crazy looking furry raccoon hat with the gigantic eyeballs on it!!) And - Hey if you don't have that crazy little Starbucks App get it... It's cool & convenient, you can load cash on it so you don't need your wallet; you get a free birthday drink and can get poinks, yes I said poinks, with every purchase to rack up free drinks and free food! ). read more

This starbucks was nice and spacious but a little messy maybe it's from the morning rush. Besides that the staff was really friendly and nice . My coffee was made perfect and the sandwich I ordered was very tasty. I'll definitely come back to this starbucks when I'm in Martinez again. read more

Starbucks - Ice coffee with breve and roasted ham & swiss sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Martinez, California

Actual Starbucks is nice and the coffee is what it is. Service was not very cordial. The barista didn't confirm my order and gave me the wrong order. When I told him that my order was incorrect, he said he could print me a receipt. There isn't a reason for me to see the receipt because you took my order incorrectly. If you show me the incorrect receipt it doesn't prove anything. read more

I love Starbucks but this one has to be the worst I've been in!!! Customer Service is horrible the cashier (male) was awful. Please train him. Customer service is really important. read more

I love this Starbucks. Always friendly staff, clean bathrooms, and coffee is made quick! Gets busy with the courthouse down the street so sometimes there is a line but other than that its pretty awesome! read more

Awesome workers! Love getting my coffee every morning before work!! They always have a smile on there faces ! Fast workers !

It was sad to see this. Very dirty. I wanted to return my drink. Inside smelled like homeless. Unfortunate. The staff is not social at all. Although they may be pleasant. read more

See all

I was at Starbucks today at the martinez location and ordered my drink and the I had to wait 15 min and I had a 10:00 appointment so I told them where is my coffee and sandwich i requested I had to wait each of my item for 10 min each and I told them I have to leave now I had an appointment and the lady who makes the drinks for other people that I was ahead of them and all mobil orders than mine!!! she didn't even apology to me but the casher guy did..so I miss my appointment and including sudden heavy traffic unexpected.. so I hope better service next time instead taking to long or sweet little time when customers are trying to beat the clock read more

A pretty good place, compared to other Starbucks I've visited. Most of the staff knows me as a regular and my usual beverage so that's always a plus. They work really hard and are always friendly, considering the staffing issues. Management really should schedule a second barista for the busy morning shift. Waiting 15 minutes for a drink is a bit much and not the fault of the staff. Otherwise no complaints. read more

Staff is always really nice but it's a bit unsettling knowing there's vagrants parked next to the door and sitting outside talking to them selves. As they watch you getting in and out of your car. I wouldn't bring kids to this location if it was me. Not necessarily the cleanest location either (see other reviewers pics) read more

My favorite Starbucks in Martinez! It's always busy but the service is quick..love the atmosphere there, much better than the one in Nob Hill. The only negative is you have to pay for parking. They also have seating outside which is lovely because you get to take in the quaint downtown area of Martinez. read more

It is really too bad that when you go to pay using your cell phone Starbucks app the person ringing you up tries to grab the phone from you after pulling it away from her. Finally having to ask her not to touch the phone. Then getting a rude cold shoulder from her and the barista. Only at the downtown Martinez Starbucks! Really too bad! read more

Everyone that works here is very friendly and knows my family and I by name. They keep the place really clean and the lines are always taken care of in a timely manner. I highly recommend! read more

I have been going here EVERYDAY at least twice a day for 5 years and I love the staff and atmosphere. Everyone is wonderful but ANDREA is exceptional! She is the epitomy of excellent customer service! I live in Castro Valley but i work in Martinez and as long as I am working I will continue to visit this Starbucks at least twice a day at a minimum! Try it, you'll love it! This I can guarantee! I don't normally endorse anything or anyone unless I am ABSOLUTELY sure that I won't look bad...guess what...this staff can ONLY make me look good! We're all regulars here! Like Cheers always said "Norm" as he entered the establishment, they all say "JoAnn" as I enter. I love this place! read more

8:58am....One star because my drink was made well as always. But to the young woman working at the counter this morning, you saddened me. When you feel the need to laugh at someone that can't afford a simple cup of coffee and then walk away from them as they're still talking to you is simply sad. The look on your face said it all when I asked you what the woman wanted to order and told you I would buy it. You know your reaction to her situation wasn't right and in a world full of such hate today I hope you change your ways before it's too late to turn back. read more
