Starbucks - Pistachio Matcha latte with Chocolate Cold Foam - Light ice - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I went to Target's CVS store at 5680 Balboa Avenue to buy some pills. Unfortunately, there was a lunch break. While I was waiting, I decided to grab a cup of my favorite coffee, a macchiato, at Starbucks. Unfortunately, the coffee was terrible. I've never had a more disgusting cup of coffee in my life! It wasn't even coffee, but rather cardboard-flavored water with a small amount of syrup. It was absolutely disgusting! I told the salesperson and threw away my cup (I won't call it coffee). read more

There were only 2 people working and a bit of a line had formed suddenly. I'd had thought they had a good rhythm going-- until I noticed as I was waiting that after they finished making one coffee it was sitting on the counter for a few minutes before ever being brought to the bar and calling out the name. Poor person that drink went to, it was already turning watery. It was now my turn to order, the guy wasn't very friendly and I felt rushed during my order. Therefore instead of asking if they had toffee nut available, using my stars to order a new drink--I just resulted back to an easy drink. Iced vanilla latte. I was going to hand him my card (gold Starbucks card) but he told me to swipe it. I did and it told me to enter a pin, I gave him a wth face and gave it to him. He didn't say sorry (I was a bit embarrassed because I was holding up the line at that point) and he manually typed my card number in. I waited by the tables afterwards which were a tad dirty with past crumbs and sticky marks. I remember coming here in the past with my dad and the workers had brighter expressions and the entire ambiance and interior of the place felt more lively and friendly. My iced vanilla latte was 98% milk, 1% ice and 1% espresso. It was milky beyond words. I could have went to 85 Degrees and got a better iced coffee than what I received. What a steal... I wanted to go and ask them to remake it but the line was too long for me to mention. read more

Convenient location inside Target, but nothing special about this Starbucks. The line was manageable, barista was friendly, and drink was made correctly. It's a good spot to grab a quick coffee while shopping, but don't expect a cozy atmosphere or anything above standard Starbucks fare. Gets the job done, but doesn't exceed expectations. read more

Today was the worst experience I've had at this location. I ordered a "Grande Dragon Drink with sweet cream cold foam" I received a mango dragonfruit refresher (which I just accepted cuz I'm not usually one to complain) but I didn't get the cold foam, which I did say something about because I have to pay extra for that. when I asked, the Asian girl that works there, was super rude. She slammed my drink down when she was finished and when I said thank you, she responded with "mhm" with her back turned to me. I still have the wrong drink order that I PAID for and was still polite. Customer service sucked hard today. You never know what people are going through. Yesterday was a hard day for my family. Be a nice human. Do better read more

I wasn't sure what I wanted and was standing around looking at the menu when the barista, Mady, asked me what I normally get. I told her either white mocha or caramel macchiato mostly and she suggested her favorite drink, a white mocha with blonde shots, toffee nut and caramel drizzle. SOLD. I'm obsessed this drink is SO GOOD. I've never had a barista ask me what I get or offer me options before so this was so helpful and amazing! I appreciate you more than you know Mady!! Will come back for more! read more

Starbucks - Guava Black Tea with coconut milk, a splash of mango dragonfruit refresher with the brown sugar syrup. 10/10 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

This is a review for the Barista Mady (at least that's what I think her name tag says). The world would simply be a better place if there were more people like her in it. I've encountered her two Saturdays in a row, and she is a ray of sunshine amongst the chaos that is a Target on any given Saturday. ***And Starbucks upper-management, the person she was working with was working at about 1/10th Mady's pace and with none of Mady's sunshine. She is earning this review for your shop despite her partner's shortcomings. Do better with your hiring standards.*** read more

This is a Starbucks located in Target. For a target Starbucks, they have a decent amount Of seating! Also, they have breakfast sandwich options which is impressive. Many Starbucks within other stores only serve pastries. I came here for a late afternoon beverage and to load gift cards to my phone app (hey, it's right after Christmas!) I asked the cashier if I could load my gift cards to my card there (often at in-store locations like target and Vons they aren't able to do this). Miranda (I am not sure if I am getting her exactly right..) was SO accommodating and even took the time to show me on my phone how to add my gift card..I felt like this was the epitome of customer service at its best!! Thank you!! After adding my card to my phone app, I ordered a tall iced coffee with light ice and no sweetener. It came out perfectly and quickly. I don't frequent this Starbucks, but I think Miranda deserves a big shout out for customer service. It made my day! read more

Still 10 ********** as far as I'm concerned. By far the best store in San Diego. Best customer service here, every shift, every hour. read more

Starbucks - #fans at Starbucks on Genesee, with Deja, Kyle and Josue with amazing coffee. Cricket made her starbucks costume!! We love you guys!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been to this Target Starbucks quite a few times and I can honestly say their service is quite good! Considering there are usually 2 people working, the service is always pleasant and quick. The workers are all nice and efficient, despite the stress from the small amount of workers compared to other stores. My drinks are also always top notch. The exceptional service and great drinks are what keeps me coming back! read more

Why is there always only 1 person working always!!? I work in the same complex and there's never more than 1 person working Then I go in tonight to try and get a drink She said I don't have any help so I'm closing early!! 2-23-20 at 5:30! When they're supposed to close at 9pm!! They either need to close the location or fire the lazy employees that don't want to work!!! read more

This is a Starbucks located inside a Target store. Does this Target Starbucks hire baristas? Or are they just Target employees who are rotated as needed? Who knows, don't care anymore. I always enjoy Starbucks, but this one? No. This Starbucks is located in the Target on Balboa Avenue. They don't know how to make iced coffee? Ohhhh, noooo! The college kid was rude and condescending to me. I think he didn't want to bother making the "blonde" coffee I ordered, and there were no other customers in there! Maybe he wasn't trained to do the blonde pour-over? It always bothers me when there are no customers in a store, and my gut feeling is rarely wrong. What I received was the most bitter, bottom of the barrel coffee I've ever had in my entire life. It was supposed to be a pour over, but no surprise. I literally gagged enough for people to look. Lol. The second drink we ordered was a latte that was not supposed to have coffee in it, and it did have coffee in it. Wtf No big deal. I asked for my money back and got it. Did I say I loathe this Starbucks? Don't waste your money. read more

I was shocked at the service I received here during my second visit. My first visit was great and they made me my hazelnut drink, like I always order. I came in here a week ago and tried ordering my same drink and the barista gave me such attitude and said they don't service hazelnut anymore. Okay, so I ordered my go to vanilla drink and again, with a horrible attitude she stated they got rid of vanilla as well. WHAT?!?! If that's the case, Starbucks will lose me as a customer forever. Anyways, back to this specific location. I finally found something to order and the barista walked away after I paid- no thank you or anything. When my drink was ready, she didn't even call my name or anything to let me know my drink was ready. While she was working, I saw three other baristas just talking there and laughing. Horrible experience and horrible service. read more

This review is 1000% because of Mady. I've had few experiences with quite so exceptional service workers, and she is one of them. She greeted me (and everyone in line in front of me) with such positive infectious energy, I needed to share. She was incredibly quick, efficient, and helpful, all without missing a beat. Starbucks you're lucky to have such a great employee! read more

They actually sell (limited) sandwiches here! As with most Starbucks attached to Target - you can use your rewards cards to accrue stars but you can't use the deals that you earn from the cards here. I know, confusing. The practical: - coffee is like it is everywhere else, fast service. - nice seating area, generally pretty empty but during lunch time some people eat very pungent Cheese Pizza purchased from next door, no real complaints though - do share a slice! :P - basically, the seating area is more of a cafeteria setting so don't expect staff to be cleaning up the tables, because based on my time camped out here...they don't, which can be gross at times. - free wifi - oh and most importantly, there are four sets of outlets with USB connectors! Woohoo! read more

Starbucks - Yeah these are pretty great There are four units along the wall. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Went to this Starbucks on balboa for the first time and I was so disappointed in the customer service of the barista who made my drink. Everyone from the person who took my order to the person who told be the code for the restroom was so polite and professional. All except the last person I came in contact with...She gave me my drink and didn't even acknowledge me at all! I said thank you politely and she just kept on doing what she was doing. Then the next guy comes up for his drink and she says to him "Thank you Zack and and have a nice day". All of that and with a smile!!! But I got nothing! Ps. The drink was good though! read more

Megan went out of her way to make sure that I received excellent customer service when my gift card wasn't working appropriately. Thank you for being such an awesome staff member, Megan! read more

Great facility here. The floor plan is very open and less cramped than a normal Starbucks. The interior lighting creates a soothing atmosphere at night. They're located next to Walgreens. read more

This Starbucks is situated in a busy intersection and gets tons of business. They work great for me cause if we need travel jugs, they have them ready with tons of sugar, creamer and cups. Thanks read more

Nice big location with plenty of parking, pleasant & patient staff. Can be busy at times with proximity to the community college & large shopping centers And now they have coconut milk as an alternative to lactose products read more

Service is not good. No personality , no hello , nothing. Usually hit up Starbucks at least once a day for my Treinta Tea...I avoid this one. Drive down the street or go to the one in Target , worth it not to deal with employees. read more

Extremely disappointed in my visit here. I'm a former Starbucks partner and pregnant so when I ordered a DECAF soy misto, then was given a fully caffeinated soy misto, I was a little confused. When I said I ordered a decaf they told me they don't brew decaf. That's so unheard of. What do you do for any other decaf customers and why wouldn't you be upfront when I ordered it? I specifically started my order with "Decaf" so there shouldn't have been any confusion. Additionally, when I requested a refund, they couldn't do it and simply offered me a recovery coupon. That should have been offered regardless but they were unable to give me my money back. I can't believe how terrible the customer service/communication was and would absolutely never recommend this Starbucks. read more

Great way to pass time while my gf shopped. The baristas were really nice and my venti iced Carmel macchiato with soy was perfect! They even asked me to try it to make sure it was great before I took it. read more

Starbucks - Entrance to the starbucks in target - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

This place is conveniently located but I just don't like their coffee. I prefer flavored coffee from 7-11 or somewhere that the coffee isn't so dark and leaves a bitter taste in your mouth... not for me. read more

Starbucks - Here is my coffee mug - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

There are 3 Starbucks in the vicinity with similar addresses: inside Vons (on south side of Balboa), inside Target (on north side of Balboa) and a standalone store on the NE corner of Balboa & Genesee. This location is inside Target next to the entrance in front of the registers and a Pizza Hut Express. Plenty of seating: simple red Target tables & chairs. Might not be the fastest experience if only 1 person is working the register and making coffee, but it was good. :-) read more

I try to avoid this Starbucks. Not so friendly service. Filthy counters and floors. Don't know if it's owned by target or the Starbucks people but somebody needs to do something. read more

They only have 1 Barista and there was about 7 customers they lost already because people won't wait in line for someone who looks like they dont know what their doing...and I had a star reward and she had no idea how to not charge me for that. Don't recommend this location. She's looking at "cheat cards" on how to make drinks. read more

I come to this Starbucks when I can't make it to the one in Mira Mesa. Love Linda!

Great coffee. Nice and friendly staffs. This Starbucks is located inside Target, so you don't have the warm ambiance or some jazz music as in other regular Starbucks stores. read more
