i have never been a "coffee house" person. It just wasn't something I would do very often. However, lately it has become part of my routine, in particular on Saturdays and Sundays. I like running errands, and then ending those errands by visiting a coffee house. This particular Starbucks has become my coffee house of choice. Every time I visit another coffee house, I always long to return to this particular location. Parking is easy, as it is right in front of the Starbucks. There is also a good nail salon right there, as well as a branch of a Wells Fargo Bank. Accordingly, you can get a lot of errands done right in one easy location, all at the very same time. The staff at this Starbucks location is exceptional. I have never seen a more welcoming bunch of your people. In particular, these people are Lily, Cory and Stephen-Blair. There is also a young woman I see on Sunday who is excellent as well, but whose name I forget, but her middle name is Ann. We like the fact there is a Pride Flag positioned near the check out area. Bravo. read more

Starbucks - Peppermint Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Just when I thought they couldn't get any worse this time some fussbudget made the $7.90 drink wrong and then punished me by delaying it. Obviously there is a management problem here since it's always something at this store read more

I like Starbucks, I enjoy their lattes and ease of using their mobile app. The problem I have with their stores is lack of consistent volume in their products. I consistently order grande lattes and know when I pick up the cup that the volume is low. It happened again today so I decided to measure the volume when I got home. There is no reason for a grande to only have 12 ounces in it. At the lowest it should be 14 oz for the advertised 16 ounce grande. Staff are always nice but for such an expensive beverage I expect better. read more

I've spent thousands and thousands of dollars at Starbucks. I stopped in to use the restroom. Couldn't even use the restroom before ordering because the restroom is for customers. Only they insinuated that I wasn't gonna buy anything and it was an emergency and how to use the restroom. These children are jerks and entitled you just work at Starbucks. read more

Wouldn't give me a water. Mind you I come here almost everyday because I live across the street. I do lots of business in the shopping center and buy from their establishment frequently now all of a sudden policy changed with water as of yesterday. I've never had to pay for a cup of water. The ladies in their today are full of shit. read more

The service was very fast and Steven was very kind and interactive with my daughter. She was so happy! Thank you Steven for having patience when she ordered! Great staff! read more

I went here with my friends for work! We all had a virtual zoom meeting to attend and there was only two person seat tables, so before my friends got there I moved two tables together and put 5 chairs. None of the workers minded. We were there from 9am until noon and we got very pretty drinks. The two I got were good and one of my friends drinks was so pretty! And I could use all my gift cards so everything was free hehe. The guy who took my order in the morning was super kind and they liked my fuzzy yellow socks! They showed me their pride socks, very cute! Later the lady who was working later was kind as well so cheerful. The guy I mentioned earlier was so cheerful and lit up the starbucks. I had fun with my friends and nobody asked us to move for being there so long. read more

I was dying of thirst in the middle of my construction shift. Needless to say, I headed over to my nearby Starbucks and my thirst was quenched. I got the classic Caramel Ribbon Crunch Creme Frappuccino. Caramel: Absolutely delicious. Ice cold unlike other times I have been here and it's melting. Got hints of that sugary caramel. Super sweet and gave me a sugar rush to continue my day drilling holes in wood Service: Lady at the drive-through window was nice and served a good advertisement of the Starbucks by talking about how gorgeous the drink was. read more

Starbucks - Caramel Frappuccino Blended Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

This SB is in the same plaza as the 24 Hour Fitness. Staff was polite and got my iced drink quickly. This SB can get busy on Saturdays. Parking is a bit limited near the shop as it's next to a bank. read more

Kacie Is simply the tits!!!! She removed watery ice from my shaking oat milk espresso after the espresso shots were poured and even offered a caramel drizzle for the top as she was making the drink. She was polite , knowledgeable about her craft, and pretty funny too. I will be coming here to have my drinks made by her from now on. It was the best Starbucks experience I've had ever!!! When I say perfection it doesn't get any better than that. read more

Good ambiance. Quiet place to study. Nice staff. Clean area to sit. Bathroom could be kept in better condition but it was not a bad experience. read more

I just left this Starbucks after purchasing, my boyfriend went to go use the bathroom. He noticed the bathroom he was in wasn't working so mistakenly went into the employee bathroom honest mistake. The employee (white female probably in her 40s) then goes and bangs on the bathroom, after my boyfriend apologizes continues to slam the door on him. She almost kicked down the door. Other employees were understand it was a honest mistake. My boyfriend is Mexican he honestly felt like this was discriminating she was very nice to other people. Do better. read more

I rarely splurge on the 'Bucks. I like my French press coffee at home way better. Drink seemed watery, it could have been a lot better. It also was mostly cream which I didn't dig. The cashier was amazing though. He was so engaging and warm. I really enjoyed my brief yet pleasant interaction with him today. In fact I'm still smiling while I key this quick reviewsky. Barista was very unpleasant, she made me wait for a straw until she STARTED and completed someone else's drink. Her customer service skills need work, so did her drink. I wish I could give 15 stars to that cashier. You rock homie! Air hugs and arm bump to you. Yay!!! read more

Starbucks - Vanilla cream cold brew. Cold Brew Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I thought it was funny that the barista put Island instead of trying to spell my name or ask again lol, the only thing is that they called the name and only gave me the sandwich but not the drink and they had me waiting until I went again and checked the names of the mobile orders... also, I said not paying with Starbucks card and she thought I sai do I did... it's okay to clarify if you couldn't hear it the first time read more

Starbucks - a hand holding a cup of coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Thanks to Warren for running such a tight shift. Service was fast and friendly. Great store to visit.

Unfortunately one bad apple ... "Hannah" is her name. I had ordered a mobile pick up- like I do at every other location- and immediately she got a tone with me saying "hun what is your name we don't allow customers to just grab them we are transitioning" ok? Sorry? Every....other...Starbucks.... YOU GRAB UR OWN STUFF..... the beauty of mobile is so I don't have to wait.... Wait for the rude ass barista to finish whatever she's doing, and taking her sweet time too, to then come "hand me my stuff"... anyways... Flash forward two weeks, today. I walk in.. Hannah's standing at the register doesn't greet me, or anyone that walks in. Just standing there and I said to the gentlemen I think you're the only nice one.. he said oh we are all nice I said yeah but you're the only one who ever greets me and is nice.... I get it sticking up for your co workers... cool. But Hannah, you need to find another career cause customer service ain't it for ya, "hun". read more

Starbucks - Trenta very berry. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

What a disappointment. First of all, one of their employees, who was clearly off the clock, was being loud and raucous. So, this isn't my first Stabucks, nor my first coffee shop. I ordered a grande coffee with extra cream. I always order that -- at every Starbucks and every other place. The girl at the counter asked me if I wanted that hot or cold. I replied, "Hot, please. I've never been asked that question before." To me, coffee defaults to hot and if you want it cold you order iced coffee or one of the foo foo cold drinks. I get my coffee and go out to my car. I open it up. There is no cream and the coffee is filled to the top. I go back in and the girls sees me and asks if there's something wrong. I reiterated my order and said, "And there's no cream." She replied, "That's why I asked you if you wanted it hot or cold." I couldn't even understand how that informed her decision not to give me cream. She offered to give me cream on the side, but I told her, "There's no room for the cream. Can you pour some of it off?" She responded that she couldn't do that, but I could drink it down or she could give me a new order. I told her that I didn't want to drink it without cream and pouring a new cup was a waste, so I said, "Never mind. I'll go outside and pour it off, " which I did. Then I came back in, and she gave me a small cup of cream. Not going back anymore. I will continue to go the drive thru at Lake Murray and Dallas where they always get it right and don't look at you blankly. Managers should take this to heart. It should not be difficult to get a plain cup of coffee. read more

Great for coffee and tea lovers. The staff is fast and friendly. This is a great choice for hanging out with friends.

One thing I have noticed after visiting a number of Starbucks all around San Diego is that not all Starbucks are created equally. Perhaps, I should say, not all service at all Starbucks is equal. I stopped by here for my daily fix, given I was in the area. I ordered a tall Pike's Peak and my usual morning bun. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/_HY_lz91eIscTkoiFYtk8A?select=MCiXIu12ohnk_NEkMm2ZJA). I was asked if I wanted my bun heated and I told the girl that that would be grand, and she told me they would let me know, when it was ready. Well, I had a seat with my coffee and proceeded to sip on coffee and read the "Reader". A few minutes passed, and I started wondering where my bun was, but I noticed they were busy making breakfast sandwiches, so I figured they were back logged. Well, I waiting and waited, and about 6-7 minutes later, I finally heard a girl call out. "I have a morning bun here" so I got up to claim it. When I finally got it, the girl, big mistake, tells me that it had been sitting on the counter over there for a while and it is probably cold by now. Hmmm.......I touched it and yes, it had lost it's warmth. Although, the bun was still good, and the girl apologized for them, not making an initiative, to call out that my bun was ready, I was still a little perturbed with them. Coffee was good, the bun was good, but please let me know when my bun is ready...... read more

Guys behind the counter made me a good drink, but girl taking my order wouldn't take my glass cup (that I bought from another Starbucks) because it was "unsanitary" when it didn't even have anything in it. But she had no problem taking the lady's cup that was behind me. Thanks This establishment would rather be wasteful than take care of their customers. read more

Starbucks - a starbucks cup with a brown wrapper - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

The team in this store needs to be commended. A close-by store is temporarily closed due to COVID-19 and they're getting slammed. They do it cheerily, with a good attitude and patience. They deserve bonuses. read more

I'm here in front of the Starbucks 8898 Navajo rd This is the worst location of all Starbucks around here employees who want to leave early they start cleaning up before 8 pm Bath room closed 8.15 pm when you walk in to use the bathroom real quick they tell you sorry out of order there is no coffee brewed the reason I asked for that she answered is to keep the coffee fresh also that the tow gills in front they are road disrespectful they act like they are doing you a favor to serve you in my opinion that this location should be closed tell they train the employees and please do not go to this location that was my experience with them read more

Don't bother ordering in the app at this location. Twice now I placed my order, showed up and waited 15 minutes beyond the estimated time. Eventually, and with zero urgency, I got my order. But not before the 12-15 people who came in after me and ordered at the counter got their drinks. Clearly they place in-person orders on a higher priority list. Defeats the purpose entirely of using the app. read more

This a relatively easy location for us to get coffee. We tend to mobile order the most and it's always ready by the time we make it over there. The location is clean and well kept. The staff is nice and easy to talk to. I have also studied here a few times because there are multiple tables to use. The store is very small though so the tables are kinda crammed. Overall though, great service & clean. read more

This is the closest Starbucks to me since I moved to San Diego. The staff is nice, but I usually just mobile order out of convenience. The inside is a little small but they have a corner unit so I think they have decent seating for the size. Outside seating is okay but the road noise and wind is a little uncomfortable so I don't sit there much. The parking is always slammed because of the ups store and Wells Fargo being on the same block. I would honestly suggest parking by 24 hour or Carl's Jr. and just taking a short walk if you're able to. On top of the lot being small, people are flying in at high speeds off of Navajo from the highway, and cutting corners right into your lane. They stand pretty consistent with the brand and art always willing to accommodate anything I've needed, so I would say they do a great job. I will continue coming back. read more

Starbucks - Iced Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

This Starbucks is close to my kids school. Very convenient. The morning rush is horrible. So I suggest doing a mobile order. However, my drink was been taken twice, so that's one downside to mobile ordering. Parking isn't that good especially in the mornings. Nevertheless, my drink has always been made correctly. And the staff here are extra pleasant. read more

Starbucks - My mouth has been waiting for this iced vanilla latte. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Worst service I've ever had at a Starbucks. Rude all around, I wasn't greeted upon entering and then the barista had the nerve to tell me after she finally acknowledged me that I should have told her what I was waiting for. After one rude interaction I asked the guy at the front counter to help me because my cup was 1/3 empty and he literally refused even though he had no other customers to wait on and forced me to go back to barista who was already rude in the first place. To top it all off although I arrived when my pick up was to be ready my muffin was cold. It wasn't worth dealing with their poor attitudes anymore so I left never to return. I'd rather drive 10 miles back to my normal store. read more

By far the rudest staff I've ever seen. Sunday morning at 11:00 AM. The staff was disgruntled, rude, angry, trash talking about others that had put orders in while other customers could listen. The female with the pony tail was talking bad about a customers kids, the man with the glasses told the kids to get out of the store and wait outside. It was literally the worst Starbucks team I've ever seen. read more

It helps that this Starbucks is so close to school so that on Thursday, it was raining hard (the first rainstorm of the year in San Diego), and that meant I could satisfy my craving for a peppermint hot chocolate and an egg-and-spinach wrap. It would've been much better if the Starbucks had a drive-thru, but there was limited space in the shopping center. read more

Super friendly staff who were able to answer my questions about the coffee grounds, they grinded it for me in the store and were super nice.

Here's my handy dandy PROS&CONS list for you Yelpers :) PROS: * spacious place to work * quick service * never really PACKED * friendly baristas * make drinks well * large parking lot CONS: * no drive-thru If I lived closer, I would def work here more often :) read more

Went in the morning and spoke to my usual baristas about my experience. Today I received a genuine apology, my drink made exactly how I like it (and which I didn't have to order since they already know how I like it) and the excellent service I have become accustomed to from the morning crew! I appreciate the time they took to listen to me and the follow up that will ensue. read more
