This is a pretty decent Starbucks. The main downfall is the lack of parking if you are just picking up an order. Since we couldn't find any place to park, we were forced to go through the drive thru to pick up. Fortunately, it didn't take too long to get through, but it was longer than we had time for (hence the mobile order in the first place). read more

This starbucks is packed on weekday afternoon. Lots of students "studying" on their laptop. Staff is nice and drinks are pretty good. They have 1 restroom in the back and you need to ask for the code. If somebody is hogging the restroom, you can probably go to ross next door. read more

Food is ok but the new CEO of Starbucks does not have a clue how to save the company. Rule number one. Tell the young kiddies to stop talking down their nose to adults. Most of you were still in dippers just years ago. The adults are so over your superior attitude. The store is ran differently everyday depending on who is working. Get a manager in here who will set some rules. The store is fine and usually busy. Generally clean. Please just fix the superior attitude of a few employees. read more

COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask. All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. Some of the staff also wears gloves. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor seating available with no limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing my drink from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is pretty big since they share the lot with many other establishments. Some parking spots are smaller than others. Drink: I ordered a venti hot vanilla latte. Starbucks Vanilla Latte is a wonderful and creamy coffee drink with rich flavor. Great flavor and gives me the energy I need to start my day! Staff: The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum. read more

I came here to study for my college exams with the intentions of ordering a beverage off the mobile app later throughout the day. Particularly, relative to when I felt ready to intake caffeine. However, I was told to leave, for not purchasing a beverage immediately. Additionally, it is important to note, that I was told I cannot use the bathroom unless I purchase something upon entry into the store. From where, I told said worker (a heavier woman for the sake of accuracy) my intentions to purchase something on the app. She reluctantly gave me the code and I used the bathroom. Although from here, she began to stare at me from outside the store. Moreover, I was only sitting outside for approximately 15 mins - reading for school. Again, waiting, for when I needed to intake caffeine. In that, I was still able to study without caffeine. This is where another worker came outside, telling me I need to purchase something right away to use said space. Albeit, it is important to note, it probably wasn't her fault. She was most likely sent out by the heavier worker to kick me out. Overall, I am writing this, to warn college students and people in general that the establishment is not a safe area to study or work in. It puts barriers on peoples ability to use public space which is a human rights violation. And, is most likely, ran by a person that, does not care for the well-being of people. Instead, they value, material property. Such as a store, more than the people who look to attend as guests. Separately, I have been reading other reviews, where other innocent people are kicked out the store, for not purchasing an item. Given the premise of, "New Company Policy". However, it is important to recognize, that these policies involve individual store discretion. As in, it is up to the store manager to dictate whether the policy is enforced or not. Which is why, most Starbucks Locations do the opposite. Instead having a "open door policy" that allows people to sit freely and use the bathroom without an imminent purchase. Because of the information above, the assertion of "new company policy" is not fully true. Rather, it is whoever that is in charge of this individual store (the manager) that is constituting this human rights violation. Again given that, most stores within Los Angeles Country do not enforce it. Furthermore, if you are the manager or someone in a position of authority reading this from the store, I hope you reflect on your actions. I am not upset just disappointed. People have bodily functions they can't control. Like, a person who has to pee or a woman on her period. Yet, you barrier the entry from your bathroom. Only to then, privatize outdoor space. Shown by you, kicking people out for not immediately buying a cup of coffee. I hope whoever reads this as well, is safe if they plan to attend the store. These people should not be allowed to bully us. We are all people. And given class dynamics, it is discriminatory to allow entry into public necessities off the basis of a purchase of a coffee. Specifically since, some people simply can't afford to conveniently buy a cup of coffee. Precisely, those from Marginalized communities. Such as, the low income, people of color, disability, etc. read more

Staff was nice. I got egg white bites and oatmeal. The oatmeal had an oil based substance in it toward the bottom when I stirred it after i had some spoonfuls and now I feel nauseous. I had to go to urgent care. I called customer support and got my Money back. Will not be going back. Disgusting. read more

Customer service was not good at all. The staff was not accommodating. When I was at the counter, I asked to order a decaf lavender oat milk latte since I cannot have caffeinated beverages while pregnant. The staff member -- whose name I forgot to get -- said they couldn't make it decaf. However, I know that the espresso shot can be replaced with a decaffeinated one, which I usually request when ordering from other Starbucks branches. She insisted that they could not make the beverage I wanted. Since I didn't want to argue with her, especially with people waiting behind me, I decided to order what I usually get. My order was just left at the counter and did not even call out my name nor the beverage that was ready. I just had to check as I noticed that I was sitting for quite some time and the other people who were behind me already got their beverage. Unfortunately, it didn't look or taste the same when I got my order. It tasted so bland like it had too much water. I went back to ask if they had added the extra strawberry purée to my lemonade as requested. They said they had, but it didn't seem like it. read more

Starbucks is not my typical pit-stop for any drink Hot or Cold, I actually dislike their Coffee! But heard about the release of Summer Essentials and decided to give one a try. Paradise Drink ($4.95) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/starbucks-pasadena-57?select=11e7BikP2k3wIvVDddjvJA Tropical flavors of Pineapple and Passion-fruit combined with diced Pineapple and creamy Coconut Milk. It was actually a good drink, I think the creaminess of the Coconut Milk makes the drink, it's nothing great, but it's good. 4-Stars read more

Ok let's be clear IMO Starbucks is. 3 star coffee shop. I give this PARTICULAR location 4 stars because of the staff. This is by far the best location in Pasadena area and there are many. But the staff are friendly. The location clean and most of the Baristas are on point. It's also located near the Sierra Madre Villa Gold Line Station so you can get a quick cup of Java before hopping on the train read more

Today I'm in the 818 (818 or 626?--a difference without a distinction) looking to cool down with a refreshing Oleato Nitro Cold Brew with toffee sweetener and I take a look around with the San Gabriel Mountains to my north, a doggy day care across the street, and a dying Bed Bath and Beyond to my side, and I think, "This is pretty good... this is TOO good." Aside from normal Starbucks things, they have plenty of desks (with working outlets... probably not up to code, but I digress); a steady stream of the melting pot that is the SGV--students, tech workers, dreamers, and everything in between; working all-gender bathrooms (no judgment); and best of all: baristas that work too hard, too long, and for too little to NOT BE ABLE TO AFFOR... woah, woah, woah,... simmering down now... please wait... And because this is Sunny California, they have a nice outside patio with plenty of CLEAN tables and chairs so you can bust out those guns and get some heavy vitamin D on any one of the 300 days of sunlight the area has to offer. read more

Quick review because I don't want to forget. Teagan was rude and disrespectful. Didn't say a word to us. I literally ordered and she said ok. Like not even a hi can I get your order. I wouldn't expect this kind of service at Starbucks of all places. The drinks were great though. Just the cashier was MEAN. read more

This Starbucks is located in the Best Buy shopping area and is in the southeast corner of the lot. I find this location quite amazing, as it has an efficient staff, and no significant waiting.

I was not happy with this Starbucks. My coffee tasted great. But the restroom was closed. My hubby was at Kaiser getting treatment and I couldn't be there with him. I got something to eat and coffee at Starbucks. I was expecting to eat it at the store. So I wanted to wash my hands. I couldn't because the restroom was closed. I even let the associate know that I needed to wash my hands in order to eat my sandwich. I was told that I could not go to the restroom and at least wash my hands. I was disappointed. I used hand sanitizer, ate my sandwich and had my drink. I couldn't obviously do this at Kaiser since we have to have our masks on the whole time. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

As mentioned by others, Starbucks is merely occupying the end of the building. It feels as though they took some kind of storage utility closet, that runs the length of the building, and created a Starbucks in it as a dare. However, there is a certain convenience to this particular Starbucks, so long as you do not plan to park anywhere near it. Many otherwise ambulatory people seem to camp out for the six closest spots, and downright harass anyone that tries to enter their queue. Remember the angry ghost on the subway in the movie of the same name who teaches Sam Wheat (Patrick Swayze) how to break stuff? And only because he really really really needed a drag off a cigarette? Yeah? They're kinda like that. The good news is, it's a big lot. And, if you park over near Best Buy, it's usually wide open. Just be advised: you know those XXXXL Philadelphia eagles jerseys they sell at Ross Dress for Less next door? Well, the guy who buys those goes to the Starbucks. And do you know that guy who wears so much Drakkar Noir from 1994 that you can smell him two decades later? He buys Venti red eyes here. Not that I'm judging you or anything... I like roomie clothing and Clinton era cologne, too. Just not when I'm drinking a skinny cinnamon dolce latte. read more

Oh wow! Monica, the barista/supervisor has the worst customer service! She not only speaks to customers with an attitude but power trips so much that she takes into her hands to change corporate policy. I just had to make a point to her so I called Starbucks corporate to make sure I wasn't wrong. My husband bought a drink the day before, it was made with soy in their error (have an allergy to soy), couldn't come back the same day to have it remade so, I stopped in the day after. She persisted that I should have been back that same day and wouldn't make me the drink, but rather she criminalized and depicted a picture of me as someone that is lying to get a free drink because it's "impossible" my husband bought at that Starbucks. Btw: I had proof that it was purchased the day before on his Apple Pay transaction thread. Her request was so bizarre and strange that the people standing next to me encouraged me to call corporate and file a report against her. So.....The policy is that whichever Starbucks I've purchased it or whenever, if for any reason it was made in error, they cannot refuse remaking it at any Starbucks. Corporate was awesome and their customer arrived was spot on in winning my heart back again :-) but please, take disciplinary action against Monica, because i don't want individuals like that to treat others this way and ruin the name and reputation of a location! Thank you! read more

This store is tucked away in a corner next to Ross, but also near a major street if that makes any sense. I get a as sense that I'm the mornings this is a place to go for mature audiences. And at night it's a Pokémon catching zone. Juan was super friendly and helpful. I don't usually go to Starbucks often. So when I'm given an order I'm trying to understand. It takes a skilled barista or Starbuckcian to know what's up. And he did! He assured me if they didn't like the drink to bring it back right away. Awesome customer service. Eduardo was speedy with the order and I was out the door in 4 mins flat. Way to rock it out! read more

This is really the best Starbucks location I've been to. Staff always friendly no matter how the place gets busy. Always accommodating and never harasses customers unlike the Starbucks in Eagle Rock.

The staff looks like they genuinely enjoy working here. They did an exceptional job in decorating and dressing up during Halloween. I hope that they're all getting paid adequately for their respective positions. This Starbucks in particular made us feel very welcomed and had excellent customer service, especially the cashier we encountered today (forgot to get her name, but was dressed as the king for halloween) to make the experience worth it! We will definitely be returning to this location instead of our local one due to their kindness, willingness to help, and service. read more

This location is pretty hidden but it has plenty of parking out front. Customer service is pretty sorry here. The few times I've come in, they've been stone faced. Not even a fake smile It smells like coffee when you walk in, which is good. It's really dusty inside and it's always crowded with people studying or whatever, so places to sit are few. There's little tables outside which may be nice on pleasant days. I only come in here if I HAVE to...and I rarely have to read more

I would've expected a lot more from a Starbucks in Hastings Village. But if you want your coffee with a side of attitude, this is the place for you. I witnessed a barista roll her eyes a few times when having to be "troubled" to repeat the restroom code to an elderly wheelchair-bound gentleman a few times because he couldn't hear her. And the worst part was the barista was the one speaking super softly and unhearable so it's not even the elderly man's fault! Same attitude when I ordered...she was very short and also just annoyingly pointed to the scanner when I tried to pay with my Starbucks app, which is usually fine, but in this case the scanner was behind some display crap so I had to sort of reach around to scan it. The other barista wasn't too much better and did not seem like he wanted to be bothered as well. Parking spaces are also pretty tight outside so check your car for door dings. read more

One of the worst Starbucks I've been in a long time. the customer service was awful. After I ordered my drink , I waited to have it made. there wa at least 3 employees and the there was no one manning the station , and there was no other customer around . The employees were huddled in a corner doing their own thing. After 10 minutes , one of the employees served a customer who just got here drink right away then glance my way , she finally said sorry the started making my drink at the espresso machine - then. LEFT!!!! .The espressie was just sitting there and finally the person who took my order at the register made mydrink , and of course like the service I was given , it Tasted Like An AFTER- THOUGHT , waste of good hard earned money and time. read more

Review 65 After eating at the neighboring restaurants, this is a perfect spot to pick up a drink and desert if you can. The staff here is always on cue, ready to deliver any custom drink you desire. Since the new 'beta' Order came out, I only enter for my drinks and keep walking. The app Order to delivery is actually amazing and on the money!! Thanks Starbucks for all the hard work and making my time important, Oh and very thankful for all the free drinks!!!! Plan B I only submit 5-Star reviews, if I post a review it's cause 'hat's off" I recommend the establishment and will return for another experience. I don't feel the need to submit a review with less than 5-Stars, regardless if I check in, submit a picture or tip. I suggest Yelp change it's reviews to a category scoring system, then is when I can be fair and review each place I visit. PM me if you like additional information. read more
