Starbucks - Great service! Thank you! Edgar was awesome! My wife and I will definitely be back - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Wow. Order was ready when I got there but much left to be desired. Pastry wasn't warmed, even though it was ordered to be warmed. Sandwich was spread out like a deck of cards instead of stacked one on top of each other. Drink was OK nothing special and I got a smirk when I came to pick it up... Wonder why? I haven't been here for a while maybe I won't come back read more

Was told, about 2 weeks ago, by employee they are no longer serving Dark Roast coffee. The only roast I drink. And this action is company wide not just their location. This morning I went back, different location, requested my usual, darkest roast w/cream. It was a light roast w/cream. I am done with this company. read more

Edgar is FABULOUS . his customer service is outstanding! I will definitely come back because of him! thank you

I've been here 3x in the last 3 days. Saw some negative reviews, and expected subpar service. Instead, I had the opposite experience. I told my wife that this Starbucks has great customer service, and is very personable and accommodating. Oh, and it helps that they do my blonde pour over with a great/willing attitude every time (rare at most Sbux where you get eye rolls or excuses ). read more

This is the slowest Starbucks I've ever been to. Been multiple times, and the employees have zero sense of urgency. I order drip coffee through the app, and it continues to take far longer than it would had I walked in. I keep giving the place chances, because it's so close to home, but I'm done. read more

Worst customer service ever. I walked in and ordered my coffee and ask for the restroom code and the female Starbuck worker told me there's no restroom and I walked to the back and to my surprise there were two restrooms. read more

HORRIBLE!!! How can these poor employees be set up for disaster???? Having a store in Bermuda Dunes, a large retirement community, with service for mobile orders only???? Not all customers are app savvy, and the app is not friendly for the ways customers like to order specialty drinks. Although this is temporary, this store is only taking mobile orders so if you go, make sure you order ahead on your mobile phone. If you don't have an app and don't want to get set up for the app, go somewhere else. I give a lot of credit to the employees for having to deal with upset customers who just want their morning coffee. They are responsible and showing up, but I blame the management team for not closing this restaurant. The cost of doing business with three employees, and only taking mobile apps is a very and unwise decision. Sadly, these poor employees are getting beat up because of management decisions. The bigger picture is the reason why this decision was made, staffing shortage. I couldn't even order my coffee because the app told me that my syrup was out of stock. When I went back to the employees, they told me it was not. So I had to redo my order without what I wanted, and then they would make it and put it in. Kudos to them for thinking outside the box, but shame on the management to have these employees deal with, this experience read more

The worst service at all the Starbucks I've been to. Apparently when I was there, (on Washington in Palm Desert) they had an "old employee" visiting & the three female baristas were so busy chatting to him while batting their eyelashes, they hardly paid any attention to making drinks efficiently as I watched this all go on for the 15 min I was waiting for my drink. (why would a mgr. let this go on for so long & be acceptable in any Starbucks? )Then, to make it worse....I look on the counter & my drink is sitting there, but my name was never called!! Unbelievable. I shouldn't have left a tip prior to being served. Lesson learned. One star just because I'm nice. 6/5/2024 read more

Best customer service. I've never had a bad experience. I go to 3 Starbucks locations nearby and I'm always greeted by name. It feels great to walk in and hear "Hi Kimmie" at every location I visit in my area. Palm Desert/La Quinta, CA *Washington and Hovely, *Ave 42 & Jefferson St. *Hwy 111 & Jefferson Just recently, I walked into this store to pick up my drink, I was told by another customer who was waiting for her drink, how great that was to have this sort of VIP treatment with the baristas. She also noticed the special bond I have developed with the employees, and said that she wished she had this same personal experience. When you go to Starbucks everyday like I do and work in customer service yourself, you are usually more understanding, kind, courteous, generous and respectful because you know and understand what it's like to work with the public. So many people lack basic manners and civility these days. Way too many are demanding, entitled and rude. I will never be one of those people so therefore my experience is excellent! Always looking for the positive, while having an attitude of gratitude what could go wrong? I always enjoy a minute of small talk with Danielle, Enrique, Ayden, Dylan and all the other baristas I didn't mention while I wait for my drink. I always mobile order and I love that feature! The app is great. I love earning double stars on particular days, doing the challenges to earn extra stars, because who doesn't love a "free drink"? I know it's not really free because you spend a lot of money to accumulate stars in which you can cash out for the drink of your choice. My drink is an iced caramel macchiato, upside down, almond milk, quad (add shot) with 6-8 pumps of white mocha, and line the cup with caramel sauce. $8.45 It's something nice I get for myself that I truly enjoy. My drinks are always delicious and made to perfection. And if by some chance it's not as great as I hoped for, they'll happily remake it for me. And... I most always get something to drink for someone else to brighten up their day. Always be kind, it doesn't cost a thing. Thank you, Starbucks ! A happy and loyal customer, Date of experience: August 8, 2023 read more

I go to this Starbucks about twice a week only because it's close. But it's probably one of the most inconsistent ones I've been to. Also never ask for a remake unless you want the baristas to give you attitude and act like you are wrong. read more

Took 20 minutes to have our order taken (1 person ahead of us) and another 20 minutes to receive our order. Suggestion: Don't prioritize mobile orders if you have staff to handle the orders. read more

5am opening was great, sandwiches were on point. We got the crème brûlée latte and. A few other drinks. Quick fast and easy back on the road. read more

Every breakfast item is sold out every single day. Kinda weird, whys it do hard to increase the amount of food you Order since you sell out every single day? read more

Service is incredible here!! I walked in the shop was filled with a good number of customers and all got their coffees without too long of a wait. read more

Haylee at the register is not friendly was not familiar with Starbucks products I want my drink a certain way and the kept requesting she charge me a different drink just give the customers what they ask for and don't make it so complicated read more

Thank u star bucks for my Sunday morning routine. Great to see you folks with always with a smile. Beautiful acting staff drink always up to par. Enjoying the best of the best read more

Used to frequent this location because my best friend lives down the street. The lady that "helped me" today was soooo rude and had a piss poor attitude. I walked in and something was going on between the employees. One of them said they'd be right with me. After watching them talk for a bit it was apparent something was up. Then the person with big glasses and a black hat with long hair in a pony tail began to take my order after NOT washing her hands gross. She was snippy and disrespectful. When someone has a speech impediment don't call them out for it and don't talk to them like they're an idiot. I have NEVER received such HORRIBLE service at a Starbucks in my life. So disappointed read more

These stores are everywhere! And I enjoy trying them all just to make life interestinag. And this store is much like the others. Very clean on the inside and friendly, upbeat staff. I have tried many different kinds of coffee and they always get it right. This franchise does a great job in training their employees. They have a lot of great items for when you are hungry. Like the smoked bacon sandwich. Hot and fresh and delicious. Also great snacks to go like chocolate rice crispy treats, or cookies or lemon pound cake. Great store read more

I stop at this Starbucks location every time I come to Palm Desert. Service is well above many other Starbucks I've been to. I am greeted the moment I walk in, service is accurate, fast, friendly. Great job being done at those location. read more

worst experience in my whole life. I went and I ordered a caramel frappuccino coffee the coffee tastes horrible, no caramel syrup and the coffee doesn't taste like coffee, the coffee it tastes like it perfume. read more

Most corporate stores adhere to great costomer service, this is definitely one of them. Very professional,clean and quick to make drinks. I'd recommend this store to any Starbucks enthusiast. read more

Understaffed, expect long wait times and no drive thru at this location. Not for working people, it's perfect if your retired and have a lot of time . read more

Came to this location today to get an iced venti Caramel Cloud Macchiato. I was rang up by the very friendly girl at the register. I didn't get her name, but she had black hair and was wearing glasses. My drink was done in just a few minutes and was delicious. I'd definitely come back if I was to ever need a Starbucks when in the area. read more

OH MY GOSH. The energy I felt walking in was so welcoming & vibrant. Out of all the starbucks I ever been to or traveled too. THIS IS THE ONE. If I have to go out of my way to go to this one I will & I am. The manager Kevin was so great with hospitality love his team. read more

This is my favorite store in the valley! I check in every once in a while to update my review and commend the employees. It's a bummer when they get closed due to staff shortages however when they're there, they're on it! read more

Horrible customer service...They've refused to take my $100 bill, telling me they didn't have enough $$$ for my change. I was making $16 @ 4:30 pm and they told me they didn't have $84 on the register??? The truth is that for some strange reason they don't want to deal with cash. This place is where I get my morning coffee almost every day, and I do it as mobile order for the convenience of it...but since they are so snobbish towards cash I won't be buying from them any longer! IW Coffee here I come! read more

All the workers were very rude and discriminating. Got our order wrong and blamed it on us and weren't helpful whatsoever. Wouldn't recommend coming to this location if you're Hispanic you will get treated very poorly. read more

Most amazing back room seating ever. 10/10 the only reason for 4 stars, would have to be that my break was only 10 minutes. Will be back again VERY SOON. read more

It was right around the corner of the house we stayed at during Week 1 Coachella. We pretty much made a trip there every morning or just before heading to the grounds. Definitely got busy quickly. But they were pretty well staffed and the drinks were made in a timely manner. People were nice and wasn't trying to rush us to get the line moving. I appreciate that. See you all next year!! read more

They are in a high traffic area, so expect a bit of a wait. They are popular with the neighborhood, so the sitting area is always full during peek hours. If you visit, just be patient and courteous to other patrons. read more

Starbucks - Felt bojee this morning - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palm Desert, California

This is the store in the Albertsons / CVS plaza on Washington Street. Parking is easy - you can either find a spot in front of Starbucks or park in Albertson's lot. Store 9745 is amazing. The staff here have a system, and it works. Because I was just curious, I timed my visit the first time I was here. I was in and out in my car in exactly 15 minutes - that was including reloading my gold card and waiting for my drinks! I'm very impressed because I knew they were super busy. They even got my drinks right. Only thing I don't like - no drive thru.. That would have been so helpful because I stop by here often on my way to places. read more

The employees were incredibly generous and sweet as soon as we walked in the door. It was Thanksgiving, and they even gave me extra sweet cream cold foam since they knew I loved it (shout out to wolf!). Wolf and Brian clearly enjoy their job and working with people, and they went above and beyond to make sure my mom and I were happy with our orders. They made my day! read more

I'm so upset I went today for my mobile order and they kept pushing everyone one ahead of me. Once I got my toasted white chocolate moch it is milk none of the toppings just milk :( read more

Starbucks - a person holding a cup of coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Slowest Starbucks ever. Don't consider this place for a mobile order. Imagine waiting 10 minutes for DRIP coffee ordered on the app. I could have driven to the Varner location, picked up my coffee and come back here in the time it took. About 6 years ago this was one of the best. I remember they were one of the first to walk down the customer line, writing the order on the cup and moving it to the barista before you even got to the cash register. So efficient. Now, their biggest concern seems to be preparing the coffee in some obscure order according to their screen. Doesn't matter if the person is standing in front of you with a simple order and there is no one else in the store. I'm at a Starbucks everyday and try to avoid this one whenever possible. read more

Another coffee shop that is my favorite!! a big SHOUT OUT TO GABBY !!! she works early mornings and she is amazing! friendly and always remembers people names and their coffee, so many customers , and GABBY takes the time to remembers so many details, friendly service and the coffees taste so good. clean place, and as busy as they get in the mornings they are always friendly and you get your coffee fast " ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE STARBUCKS!!
