Good for a quality quick recharge on the road. Outside seating that was hit and miss on shade. Parking lot view. Staff friendly. read more

Starbucks - Late afternoon coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Other than the typical Starbucks fare, make sure to get outside of the actual location. There is a wonderful patio area just outside that is shared with a restaurant in the same structure. Don't be afraid to sit down, this is a shared space with plenty of shade available. It was quite pleasant to sit down and enjoy my coffee for about an hour. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

I really want to like this location... but every time I go there, I regret it. The customer service is lousy. They actually made me cry once, due to their absolute lack of caring. I ordered a sandwich and a drink. They never called out when my drink was ready; I eventually wandered back there wondering if it had been made yet (it had taken forever) and it was just sitting there. I mentioned I was also waiting on a sandwich, they asked what kind, I told them, and then they said they don't have any of those left. Would've been nice to know when I ordered - I actually would've just gone to a different Starbucks for my drink too. And then they thought the convo was done. Um hello, I expect a refund for the sandwich I paid for. Besides that particular incident, they just have lousy customer service in general. They are not kind; and they seem annoyed to have customers. Additionally, the layout of this Starbucks is annoying. You have to pick up your drink in the farthest back corner. That's a pain, but even more of a pain since you can't see the counter from any of the waiting places and they don't call out your name or drink so you can know it's ready. read more

Every weekend that I come here this location is always backed up and understaffed. I always do mobile orders but they are usually behind on those as well. The staff on weekends has a little bit of an attitude but I think it's due to their stress of not being staffed correctly. I never have issues getting my order on weekdays and the staff is friendly on those days. The store manager really needs to look at staff loading on weekends to improve both customer experience and staff moral. Just a thought. read more

Service is garbage the dude with the beard has the worst costumer service here. Gave me attitude for just 2 drinks and started slamming stuff read more

Tucked away in the corner of the strip mall is this Sbux. The baistas are nice, but in this visit, the customers were annoying. Had a family with 2 brats who didn't know what to get. The kid kept screaming he was thirsty (duh!) and the adults couldn't calm down the kid. I know its not Sbux's fault, but it made my head hurt and the caffeine didn't solve it. -1 for a bad experience, but overall +4 for a decent iced tea lemonade. read more

Went in and was asked what I wanted mind you the guy is just saying okay but not putting the order in as I'm telling him what I want , I pay then my drinks are made the lady making the drinks has no emotion at all she straight faced rude voice when calling out the drinks. I notice when the drinks are done there is 4 drinks when I only ordered 3 and I told her, all she said was "ok" and walked away, didn't even care. The guy refunded me and told me "I repeated you order, you didn't hear me" he never repeated my order and I clearly said 3 drinks. I had someone with me and she said she even heard me say the 3 drinks that I wanted. Honestly won't be back to this location it's always a bad experience with them. read more

This store closes in 5 minutes and as I was approaching the store about 10 ft to the door, the employee locked the door. I just need a sandwich. read more

Clean Starbucks| Great Service | Lots of parking I forgot to mention I wanted my drink iced instead of hot, and they remade it, no questions asked! Super friendly and great service! PS bathroom code is 2356 read more

If a you don't like people asking you questions about the food you are preparing for them you shouldn't be working here. I simply asked if they used decaf because I get bad reactions to caffeine and and wanted to be sure. The short guy with black hair and glasses (working at 10am on 9/11) was extremely rude when he answered. Sorry I didn't get his name. He acted as if I was bothering him for being there. And I would like to note there was only one other customer there. He was not too busy to answer. He then threw a straw at me. I asked nicely. I stayed calm even thou he treated me this way. Again , if you're not a people person, or don't know how show respect to others then you should not be working in an environment where you have to deal with the public all day. The coffee was good thank you for that. But the behavior of the worker was uncalled for and unprofessional. It cost nothing to be kind and considerate of others. read more

Ordered 5 drinks and forgot to order water until I got to the window but "Corndog" was really nice! Probably the best Starbucks customer service I have had. The drinks were amazing as well! (I think her name might be Courtney Lol) read more

This is the closest Starbucks to my house and THANK GOODNESS because I always receive great service when I'm in here. I went in tonight and got a triple grande hot skinny peppermint mocha with extra foam and Kelly made it wonderfully, perfect ratio of milk to foam. He was also a delight to speak with! Drink quality is consistently three stars and service is five, hence the four star rating. They really live by the Starbucks motto of creating inspired moments and as a fellow barista I take notice. Thank you guys for the delicious beverages and service, you rock. read more

I've been to a lot of Starbucks and I'm not sure what's going on with this one. Usually the energy is high, names are yelled, drinks are flying around... Here it felt like we were at nap time with only 3 employees on a Sunday morning. The guy finally remembered to yell some names after I watched 10 people in front of me. So bizarre. Drink some caffeine kids! Side note. All the breakfast sandwiches should not have to be made by the one cashier on duty. Another employee is necessary here. I've never seen such annoyed patrons before. read more

I'm no junkie so I don't go to Starbucks religiously like some people, but for sure this is 1 of the smallest Starbucks around. 12 seats outside, maybe 12 more inside and the bathrooms are right where people wait for their drinks. Tiny tiny tiny, service is ok, nothing spectacular, but the walls are packed with merchandise. I've seen people lined all open space, so if your claustrophobic go to the Vons nearby and they have a Starbucks kiosk in the front of the store. Oh a grow up people if your getting more than a caffeinated drink here, your addicted to the place, so you shouldn't be spending more than a few dollars so that 2nd $ on yelp is inaccurate. Don't try and fool the public into your addictions. Anyone can spend anything anywhere, but lets leave those to compare and for the normal user. read more

One of the better Starbucks I've been too! I stopped by during the usual rush hour and it busy but it moved very quickly. I asked the cashier (rylee I think?) for her suggestion on an iced coffee. She recommended a vanilla sweet cream cold brew and it was seriously one of the best coffees I've had from Starbucks . I also ordered one of their chicken caprese paninis which i tend to shy away from at other locations because they tend to overlook them, but it came out perfect. Staff seemed very organized and the store was very clean. Quite impressed will definitely be back read more

There's nobody that could greet you better than David! What a friendly and fun guy. He made my horrible morning into a great one just by his presence! What a great asset to this company! read more

Starbucks in general is overpriced and overrated. Unfortunately the majority of the alternatives are a good 20 minutes away... Boo hoo! However there is an excellent Juice shop right around the corner called JB Juice were you can get a way better Frappicino. And why oh why did they raise there price on there ice teas about 5 years ago?! It was the one value item on the menu.. Customer service is like a, miss, miss, hit. There are nice service oriented employees but there is an even more handful of moody snobbish ones. But then again they also get a ton of moody snobbish patrons to. Have watched more than once, patrons complaining and arguing with the staff over silly things, like once this lady couldn't understand her receipt that included a few drinks and a gift card and payment. And the employee explained it like 5 times, that as an onlooker I even understood it, but the patron was arguing tooth and nail over pennies. Between the employees and patrons I usually just want to get out of this place after entering. Not to mention the CEO of Starbucks has grown increasingly obscure in his political social involvement, with the latest being, asking employees to start "racial discussion". I think I'm just over Starbucks and would really like to see some other options out there. read more

Ordered my meal on my phone and got my meal as I arrived nearby where I work at Vons Oceanside as I'm the Courtesy Clerk. This place has been so generous with their WiFi and restrooms. You can also get their WiFi while eating at Chu's Quick Wok Chinese Cuisine. 5 stars. Great coffee! Love the smell to keep me awake while I'm playing chess app through chess.com! read more

I recently moved to Oceanside, and found this Starbucks across the street from my neighborhood one day when I was driving in the strip mall. I am addicted to Starbucks, so I was very happy! This location is tucked behind some of the stores, and you have to drive all the way in to the mall to find it. I hate when there is a long line, so I am kind of happy it is hidden. Means shorter lines ;) I typically order an iced nonfat chai tea latte, and they always get it right on. My husband likes caramel macchiatos, and the new orange Valencia refreshers. He says they are always pretty good at this location. My kids frequent frappachinos, and they are never wrong or taste bad! The baristas at this location are always nice. Even when there are bratty little kids standing there screaming at them, which there seems to be a lot of for some reason. The establishment is always clean and accommodating. I will continue to frequent this location as long as I live here! read more

I absoluty love this starbucks! its all about just being an awesome lobby store, no rigamorlae of a busy drive thru store, dont get me wrong the baristas still bust their butts off here and the manager is literally one of a kind. I used to be one of those people who didn't quite get the whole "Starbucks" thing, but this place has become a part of my daily routine. read more

Ducked in here real quick while at a family party cause I needed a coffee fix right quick. Nothing special about this one. Place looked pretty dead and boring. However, I must say that I dont think it smelled at all as the previous yelper mentioned. read more

I like this as a secondary location. Staff is always friendly and it's never busy. I've never waited in line. read more

What's the deal? I have visited your store twice this week and I ordered the iced mocha and your holiday maple pecan special. I specifically said not too much ice but that was not done. I had more ice then beverage each time. I guess next time I will order without ice or hot drinks. Or just go to your competitors. read more

Great location with lots of parking and space inside to get work done. The baristas are all very sweet and even gave me advice about my gold card. Things I never knew about like the free refills on tea/coffee. read more

My wife is from Seattle, and is a big time coffee person. We always go out and get coffee and this was our first time at this location. Most of the time the starbucks employees are super happy. Well this place they were not. The woman who was taking our order was old. Really rare for Starbucks, they usually have somewhat attractive, younger ladies that work there. She didn't understand my wifes order. My wife kind of looked at her with disgust because it was a very simple drink. She was rude as well. The Baristas were fast and they knew what they were doing. Sometimes people burn the shot, but not here! If it wasn't for the mean of lady taking orders they would have gotten more stars. Cheers! read more

This Starbucks gets that coffee is meant to be had quickly. I love this store because of the customer service and the very LOUD NY manager. She understands the word customer service. I think the reason for the great service is the lack of a drive thru. More the reason to come here. Keep up the good work, I drive out of my way to come here. read more

By far the worst Starbucks the wife and I have ever been too. None of the employees knew how to talk loud enough for any customers to hear them, they didnt put anyone's names on their drinks, and just put all the drinks at the counter and whispered what they were. It was mass confusion and several people received the wrong drinks and the employees had to remake them. It was pure chaos. There were around 6 people waiting for drinks in front of us and somehow my wife's drink was done before them which is kind of messed up for the others waiting aswell. Coffee Bean ftw. read more

So the service was really quick today but if you're there this morning make sure you have the idiot in the window repeat your order to you 3 times because I ordered a white chocolate mocha and I got a venti hot chocolate instead...didn't realize it until I got to work that he have me the wrong thing. Fuckin moron to say the least. It's not usually like this though... read more

I had a birthday drink today and who wouldn't go crazy.. So I ordered something my friend recommended. As the barista was fixing up my drink, a rude worker named Seth called out the drink. He claimed "I'm not gonna lie and say oh that drink sounds Delicious!" At least the cashier stuck up for me and said that I can hear him. Unfortunately, he did not get the hint and continued with "I don't care, he already ordered it." It not only ruined my day, but it also made me no want to drink Starbucks ever again.. Oh by the way Seth, it was an amazing drink. It would've been a fantastic drink if you kept it to yourself and did your job. read more

Drinks are made wonderfully, but service leaves much to be desired. We were in line to order, when instead of asking us for our order, someone made us move away from the counter so she could fix the gift card display, and the other women behind the counter seemed to go about their personal business and talk about their drama. Five minutes later we finally got asked what we wanted and they still wouldn't give us their full attention. Common ladies, I know customer service sucks, but if I am going to pay $5 for a freaking coffee, I expect a higher quality of service... read more

I went to get a drink in the morning to enjoy and treat myself because it was Friday and one of the barista didn't put my lid on properly and it spilled all over my car so thank you to the dumb barista who fucked to my Friday! read more

The are well understaffed for a Starbucks, forget to write your order on a cup and make you wait as you watch everyone else get their drink who was well behind you. Lack of attention to detail. Very disappointed in this location. read more

One of my favorite Starbucks in town! The baristas are always so friendly and always have the food I want. Definitely the cleanest Starbucks around too. The whole store is always shiny and clean when I come in. read more

The service here was rude. I worked in a coffee shop for nearly 5 years. I know how much it can suck, but guess what, you pull it together and smile. The cashier was fine, but the girl who passed us our drinks had a major attitude and it was clear that we were her last drinks before her break. Thankfully, I don't live in Oceanside, so I don't have to deal with this again. Iced coffee requires no thought. I don't expect anything really and I'll probably still tip. Be nice to your customers. read more

Really appreciate a drive thru starbucks. Very convenient when in a hurry. The coffee is great. There's a lot of traffic in that area, so just keep that in mind. read more

Probably my favorite local Starbucks The employees are friendly and always get my order right. They are one of the few places that make a quad espresso macchiato correctly (in my opinion) read more

Back in December I liked the customer service here so much when I came in that I went home and I applied online. I was hired a week later! The management is fantastic here! I'm so proud that as a military spouse I have support and stability with this company. Transferring is always hard but when the time comes it'll be really hard to say goodbye. I love my regulars and my fellow partners! read more

Staff here just can't seem to follow simple, monosyllabic instructions. Disappointed Starbucks...

Haven't been at this store in s number of years and normally it's very good. Today's service is incredibly slow! We order 5 travelers to be ready for pick up at 730. It's 8:00 and they are still just starting to brew the last two.... I suggest ordering the night before and giving an earlier pick up time that what you actually need. read more
