    Starbucks front opposite Del Monte Ave.
    Derek W.

    A great and local Starbucks location on your way to downtown Monterey, the Naval Post Graduate School, or heading out of town. It's a newer Starbucks which is very roomy and the team is always helpful. Coffee always hits the spot in the morning along with a breakfast sandwich. Careful as you leave the location though as Del Monte Ave is pretty busy at time and a left turn could be pretty difficult!

    Four tables outside facing east and 15 tables and more insight with comfortable cushiened  seating

    The place doesn't give on the main road, but is it huge inside and facing east. Meaning if you come here in the morning or noon it's full of light and very warm. Very busy place. The parking is ample and busy because it's a shopping center area. I've been to other Starbucks in the area and some of them are teeny tiny ones with a few tables. This place inside can accommodate 60 people easily. Service was relatively quick. I saw many students and many families meeting at this place and they were all middle-class looking and some of them actually seem to be going to wedding or something. But I message to my neighbor about this place. He said he goes there for studying a lot.

    I was handed this dirty cup with fingerprints on the lid.  I had to drink it with the lid off and nearly spilt it all over my car.

    Nasty dirty cup was handed to me. This has never happened at any of the other Starbucks.

    Freebie earned! =)

    Long line. Moved at a medium pace. Grande black iced tea with 3 Stevia ordered. I have a free one! Got up to the front and the worker started to hand over what looked an iced coffee. Told what was ordered was a tea and the worker was kind and apologized for the error. Shortly later handed over the black iced tea. Good service and drink! Recommended!!!

    I Have been to many Starbucks in this area but this is The BEST Starbucks! We ordered our hot and cold drinks from the app. And we went to the drive through to pick up our order and there were no wait time. The drinks were ready when we arrived. Service : 5/5 ========== - The people who work there are nice and super friendly. - Our drinks were definitely better than other Starbucks. - We did not go inside but ambience was looking pretty nice and clean from outside. Drinks : 5/5 ========== - We ordered light iced Kiwi Starfruit Lemonade and Hot white chocolate mocha. - Both drinks were right spot on. The only thing is, I would say is if you ask for light on ice, just double confirm as we got little more ice in our drink but other than that drinks were super delicious! Overall , 5/5 would definitely go again when I am in the Monterey area!

    This location is pretty nice as soon as you get in you can tell that the ambience is pretty kept up as well of course you have to stay with Covid measures and spread out when you sit down follow the lines and then order your drink currently midday there are not a lot of people inside the store but the drive-through is very very long so we decided to come inside and get our drinks they taste great and I need extra caramel in mind.

    Pretty sure I ordered Royal English Breakfast Tea Latte. Instead, they gave me black tea. Why would I order just a plain black tea at Starbucks? I could've done it at home. On top of that, I had to make an extra 10 minutes travel time this morning because of the road block and I live just behind Starbucks which could've been a minute drive. I wasted my morning just to get a plain black tea? Wow. Just wow

I ordered two avocado bowls and requested that two eggs be added to each bowl, for a total of four added eggs, which the cashier repeated back to me to confirm the order. I understood there would be an additional charge for the eggs. Unfortunately, when I got to my destination and opened the containers, each bowl only had one added egg, even though I was charged for a total of four added eggs. The avocado bowls are already on the expensive side, so it's frustrating to pay for something that wasn't provided. I immediately tried calling the café so I could speak with a manager and have the issue corrected, but my call was disconnected, and I wasn't able to reach anyone. I understand that mistakes happen, and I appreciate that the cashier entered the order correctly. My frustration is with the order not being prepared as requested and not being able to reach anyone to resolve the issue. I hope the team can be more attentive to verifying orders before they leave the kitchen and ensure customers have a reliable way to contact someone when there is a problem. I enjoy supporting this business and genuinely hope this feedback helps improve the customer experience.

    Very cool and hip cafe in old town Monterey. I think it is in a historic building as it totally…read morelooks like a Spanish Mission era type of building. Super open and airy, there's a separate room off to the side with some haphazardly laid out tables and seats. The main retail area is pretty busy with people lined up placing orders/waiting for an order, or people fixing up their coffee drinks. Now even though I took my goods to-go I had to go out to their patio to find a restroom. That outdoor area is totally cool, totally out in the open but you're like in a square inside a fort, surrounded by walls, so you can't see any street action. But you're totally open to roam in here from the street. Next time I'm in this area, I'm definitely gonna make time to chill on that patio. Cold Brew ($6.50/5*) Perfect to my taste, smooth and mellow on the roast. Pricey for a small cup but this is a touristy area. Banana Bread Slice ($5.25/4*) Very thick slice. Super soft yet moist in the center but firmer and more well done on the edges. Pretty dark in color, maybe some cocoa powder went in but there were also tiny hits of dark chocolate throughout. Mild natural banana flavor, wished it were stronger but that's me. Blue Corn Cookie ($5/5*) Never had a cookie like this before but I was pretty impressed. Kinda like a cornbread but made into the texture of a good cookie, so it was crisp and buttery on the bottom and moist and chewy in the center. All whilst having a pronounced corn meal flavor and texture. Major props for exposing me to something new that I enjoyed immensely. Went great with sips of black cold brew. Most other things in their pastry case seemed a tad fancier than most other regular coffee shops. I'm just glad I was able to run into and choose a more special cafe to end my beautiful trip out in the central coast.

In the shop itself, there are a handful of counter seats, and some tables outside, but if you happen to catch yourself on a Monterey day with the marine layer in, then you'll probably want to stay inside so you're not eating cold in the cold.
