Rude staff, overpriced, fancy drinks and coffee are cardiovascular time bombs. My wife worked at former Olive street location later promoted to supervisor for 5 years enduring humiliation from jerks with her hours cut to give to other non performing Baristas. read more

I'm not sure why they can't pick up the chairs when they are cleaning up. And putting the chairs back in their place . But the employees like To drag them and it is irritating and loud. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We come there to read , study and talk. Well it's like scratching a chalk board with metal object.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think I'd rather get my teeth drilled on than that. It's laziness and rude to your customers. You would think a manager would correct them. But now I believe it's their way saying "don't stay long people , you used up your time we traded for your $6.00 cup of coffee now get out!!! If you stay any longer you'll become an informal settler!! read more

Accidentally ordered the wrong drink, but the staff was so kind and corrected it without charge. This kind of service goes a long way! Thank you! read more

Horrible experiences every time! The second and final time was it for me, I got mt order once again my cup was only half way full IF THAT. Very unsatisfied I called back to ask why my cup was once again not filled if that's what im paying for. The guy who answered had the audacity to tell me the other Starbucks were just "being nice" by filling my cup, the same order, to the top for me while this Starbucks did not more than once. I will not be back and will not be recommending this location to anyone. Horrible service and quality. ​ read more

Bad service. Rude drive thru made drink wrong size. Said to pay to upsize then just poured it in a bigger cup without actually making it or adding more. Would not recommend to anyway. Morning crew is alright. read more

Stopped going to Starbucks not only because every time I order a bagel toasted they instead burn it but now they are extremely bothered when I order a customized drink. Every once in a while you get a nice barista but I was going to Starbucks on a daily just to get rude side comments and stares? they started treating me, THE CUSTOMER! worse every single time and I know it's because they didn't think I knew the difference between a burnt bagel and a regular one or burnt espresso shots vs some on time, regular vanilla vs sfv, regular milk and half a half?! Is it bad that the paying customer orders a customized drink and knows when it isn't made the way they ordered? Or are you just mad you got called out and need to remake it? Otherwise give my money and I'll take it elsewhere! read more

Idk bout y'all but I always need my coffee perfect. And this store did me justice. Staff are friendly and kind. There's plenty of good seating available and there's a drive-thru if you're in a rush! Stop by! Don't forget to leave a tip for the baristas! read more

Brand new Starbucks!!! All your normal Starbucks items, however this location is HUGE inside, so much so that it seems empty, they could definitely add more chairs or better yet slap a fire place right in the middle and decorate the place to match Yosemite. read more

I just can't wait until the workers here get the drinks right. Today at the drive through they gave me the wrong size again. It's either the size is wrong or the drink is incorrectly made. Usually I'll just take it and try to be understandable because I get it sometimes mistakes happens especially when they're busy however this is happening way too often and I come here almost everyday so today I kindly let the gentleman at the window know that they had the size wrong, and so they made me another drink but this time the size is correct but the drink is not. I'll just tried again another day. read more

Starbucks - Hazelnut shaken espresso, add vanilla cream cold foam. Too much oat milk and they forgot to add vanilla sweet cream cold foam. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Merced, California

Good coffee, [[HIGHLIGHT]]clean and comfortable place to relax[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Conveniently located. .....always come back here

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Always busy but I like going in and order when I have time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking and traffic is busy in the area.

Starbucks needs to explain to whomever is making Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappucinos that there's a Caramel Frappucino also. The store mixes up the two drinks often. 6 out of 10 times there's NO crunch, NO caramel lining cup, like at all, and the drink costs upwards of $24 every time I order. read more

After having lunch at Panda, I felt the urge to get a "pick me up drink" so we walked over to Starbucks to order my usual drink of Mango Dragonfuit with water and passion tea base and liquid sugar cane. I can see how other reviewers say that this location seems to never get the orders right. Last time I came here for the same exact order, I saw that the barista used lemonade as the base, which made it too sour for my taste. This is after the fact that I ordered water and passion tea base. I felt bad and didn't want to complain and have them make it again. Fast forward to a few days after which is today... My drink seemed lighter in color, and I did see the lady use a "yellow juice," which turned out to be pineapple passion tea. We even asked when she called my name if it was passion tea base, and she said yes. Luckily, I tasted it, and it was actually good. Better than I expected. Hopefully, they get it right in the future! read more

I cant understand how u can order a drink with a "extra" espresso shot and the drink tastes like no coffee was in it at all. But this place did managed to do that. read more

Horribly long wait in drive thru. Slowest Starbucks I've ever been too. It's hard to believe the time delay it takes to move th

These employees deserve a raise! Super friendly and quick! They take the time to get to know you and are super welcoming. Ive been working remotely in their lobby for the past week and I've witnessed countless encounters with an uncooperative customer, and they've handled it well. Not many customers are educated on the California supply chain shortage, and these employees cannot control whether they are out of Java chips or impossible breakfast sandwiches. Also, they cannot control how many employees order through the app and how many order through the cafe especially with little labor. We need to give these employees credit for working so hard and fast to get us a cup of coffee. If you are running late to work or school, do not order 10/15 minutes before your shift starts, that is not their problem especially if you're running late to work. If you haven't worked customer service or worked with difficult customers yourself, then please be mindful and do not take your anger out on minimum wage employees. read more

Today I went through the drive thru and ordered two drinks. A refresher and latte. The latte tasted of nothing but milk and I'm not one to be picky but this was really bad and as for the refresher IT WAS ALL ICE. They did give me my extra scoop or infusions so okay for that but I didn't ask for the entire ice reserve anyway that is all thank you. read more

Your drink is almost always wrong or crappy. Most times I go expecting it wrong and try to order the simplest thing to not make it difficult for them. Never fails. read more

Annie was a great! Never turned her back on me at the window and held a conversation. Made me laugh and smile. Very friendly, even in the early morning. She has exceptional social skills and customer service read more

Slowest drive thru ever. How is it that it takes o er ten minutes to get thru fora cup of coffee? Worst service! I recommend you check that the lid on your hot coffee is on right before accepting it. Mine was not on right and I spilled piping hot coffee on my lap and hand when I picked it up from my cup holder. read more

Drinks are okay, they much better at the Starbucks on Olive Ave. Lets get to the service... This Starbucks is a disgrace to our community. These workers have no decency and are so rude. I have had multiple problems with the employees. Firstly an employee overcharged me $20 extra. Very disappointing. I tried to go get reimbursed for the overcharged money but was told I would have to call higher heads about it, which was weird. Today's problem was their service once again. There was nobody in line behind me at the drive through yet I was told that I need to come inside to order for taking a few minutes. I ended up ordering due to them rushing me and had forgotten a drink, which I asked if it was okay that I order it when I got to the window to pay. She then replied yes that it was all good but once the drinks were ready I was told I would have to come inside to grab it because I was holding up the "line." This Starbucks is never busy and I now see why. So absolutely unprofessional. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only "ambiance" the employees hold is their will to extend time of consumers and terrible customer service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Merced, California

this store is poorly managed. they dont put out orders in order and they dont complete a certain order before jumping to the next--whether it be cafe or mobile. they dont also acknowledge customers. i would recommend the other starbucks in the city. they do it a lot better than this place. read more

I usually frequent this one as it is close to my work. I normally do not have to deal with employees because I order online. The one time i had to deal with them they were very rude. It's very unusual for starbucks employees to be rude but this location has a bunch of them that need to be retrained on how to speak to customers. Very unfortunate because its a great location. Other starbucks in town are much better. read more

After I left starbucks I noticed my drink was a little more expensive than usual, turns out the guy at the register tipped himself without my permission read more

Recently visited this location in the evening. Arrived at 8pm, from the parking lot the store looked closed by appearance. All the chairs and stools were already flipped and up on the tables, and crew was mopping and sweeping, but closing time isn't until 10pm? Walking in because every chair was up, there was no place to sit, not inviting at all. Going to the register, not greeted, I stood at the register well the baristas looked back and forth at each other until some told another worker she's on register. No smile or good energy from the girl that took our order. As my kids sat down, in the only 3 chairs closest to the register which can't be flipped onto the small table, the barista that was sweeping moved the small table and swept under the table and under the chairs while my 11yr olds were sitting down. I get that your trying to be ready for closing, but that itself is just rude. Kids or not. Thankfully the gentlemen barista that was working made the drinks PERFECT and had great energy, and for him alone, I gave it 3 stars. If not, definitely a 1 or 2. Service: good, friendly but the crew lacks communication amongst each other. Drinks: Great, the barista we got knew his recipes and made the drinks perfect and delicious and was engaging with us at the same time Store: clean, usually busy during the day but depending on the time you go, might not feel invited read more

The slowest Starbucks in existence. You can build a house in the amount of time it takes to prepare a order on the app. Orders are never ready and extend past the ETA time. I can only imagine the wait time if you placed an order in person. Read the reviews, it's a pattern. read more

"We Stan" is the first that comes to mind when I think about this Starbucks. Service here is always up to par and the baristas always do their best to make the drinks and accommodate everyone!! read more

If I could leave a zero for wait I would. The manager needs to organize better! It was a 30 minute wait in line! Get it together!

I have been around the Starbucks at this city, and none compare to this one. It has a lot of tables to work on homework, the WiFi is good no matter how many students, it's super close to the UC, power outlets all over, most of the UC students are here, there's local businesses around (in case your hungry), the baristas are extremely friendly, and overall feels very safe. Perfect place to go study and have coffee at the same time !!! read more

My sister and i mobile ordered 3 drinks on 10/03/2023 , 2 Pumpkin Spice Chais and 1 Carmel Frap. Upon picking up I noticed both of my Pumpkin Chai Lattes had no pumpkin cold foam . I asked the girl making mobile orders if I could just get the cold foam on top (not even mentioning it looks like straight up milk.) Which I wouldn't have even cared if we had the foam on top. Which to which she responded " were out " . okay? after tasting one of the drinks it was literally milk i couldn't taste the chai at all . I politely asked if it was possible I could just make all the drinks caramel frappes because we weren't going to drink the chais anyway due to there being no foam in the first place. The girl just shrugged at me and rolled her eyes and just continued making drinks ??? Anyways , after being ignored, we ended up just dumping them in the trash anyways . Customer service obviously is out the window , didn't get the replacement drinks because I guess that wasn't even an option at this point i just want my money back . read more

Service service service. I came here today to get my freebie birthday reward since I was traveling and without a Starbucks in the area. However apparently the reward expired!! Even though it's barely been a week yet... It's sad having a birthday gift expire and never would wish this upon my worst enemies. But I was saved by the nice lady here (maybe the manager?) and she comped my drink even though I wanted to pay, saying happy birthday to me. I mean come on, that's just too nice!! Great location and plenty of seats for studying or hanging out (away from the heat with their awesome air conditioning). Also the frapp drink cake out absolutely amazing so that was a nice cherry on top of the situation. Thank you! read more

Starbucks - Delicious and thanks to the manager for making my birthday reward all that much better!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Merced, California

This location is surrounded by quite a few businesses and a few schools so it gets very busy very fast. I normally like to go into each location to place my order but at this location I would highly suggest using the app for the pick up option. The staff members are very friendly and they do their very best to complete each order in a timely manner and I noticed that they conduct regular cleaning. read more

Very disappointed with my whole experience here at Starbucks on G street. Lady running the cash register (Katelynn) was so rude. She was too busy conversing to even take our name. We waited almost 30 minutes for a bagel and a croissant, just for the food to be cold. On top of that, when we asked for our order the man working the counter said he was too busy to help us and we'd have to wait for someone else. It was frustrating to see crew members standing around and not helping. Very disappointed will NOT be returning to this Starbucks . With that being said, shout out to the manager she's a super women ! read more

I don't know how the Starbucks employees are in the afternoon, but the ones in the morning are super rude. I don't know if the short blonde lady is the manager, but she is the worst. Mornings are expected to be busy. I put my mobile order almost 20 minutes in advance and still wait another 15 minutes inside while the drive thru gets theirs before mine. I will no longer be coming here. Go to Dutch Bros or Starbucks on Olive and Mst. No matter how busy these locations are, they still greet you and don't make you feel like an inconvenience. read more

Three stars for the hours and the baristas. Overall okay experience, but I ordered a double doppio--- which would equate to 4 espressos ---on ice with half and half 4 pumps of vanilla and caramel drizzle. I was on a break of only 15 minutes from the hospital and once I got to my car I realized i did not get what I had ordered. I'm just a list of complaints at the moment. read more
