The lounge feel with sofas and modern furniture is pretty awesome and cozy! Mobile orders have been working very well well for me, always ready by time I get there Lots of students around lunch hour so it can be packed. Other times it's really chill and a nice spot to meet up read more

I've not visited this location in over a month and they recently redecorated with nice furniture, tables and chairs. It's now one of the more esthetically pleasing cafes as it's larger than your average Starbucks, so the new furniture fits nicely. Most of the regular staff are still here and friendly but some of the newbies aren't as nice. It's a fairly busy location visited mostly by locals and students at the nearby high school. I tried the coconut latte this time and it was OK, not too sweet but I think I will stay with the regular latte next time. read more

I think this is the best Starbucks in the city. Good people at the counter and very nice indoor seating. I will try to come more often and am really impressed with this certain location. read more

Treated myself to a tasty iced shaken expresso and a sausage and cheese breakfast sandwich. Fast and efficient service ordering ahead on the app. Bright, clean, family friendly cafe. This cafe has had many of the same friendly staff members for years. It's always nice to be remembered, although what does that say about my caffeine addiction?!? Anyway, another good experience at my neighborhood Starbucks. read more

Starbucks - Iced Shaken Espresso and sausage and cheddar breakfast sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

This location has the best service and ambiance. Their food is clearly organized to display so it's easy to pick out what you want. I needed an extra shot on my coffee and he gladly added it and was willing to change my order even after I paid. He did not get annoyed and was very accommodating! We went to order more food because the customer service was so pleasant. They have plenty of seating and free parking on the side streets so it's easily accessible and a welcoming environment! Definitely coming back many more times to this location? read more

Starbucks - coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I order Door Dash in early mornings and total satisfaction with the delivery, presentation, perfect cups of coffee to my delight.

I don't care what anyone else says, I love Starbucks :P As far as SF locations go, this is one of my favorite branches to visit. I love the West Portal location for the energy and neighborhood, but I come to this one if I want to get work done. They have a lot more seats here, and the space is nicely designed. I think there's also outlets, which I appreciate; a lot of Starbucks block them so there's more customer turnover, which is understandable since it's a business. Some locations have lots of seating, but the way the space is set up isn't very comfortable (e.g. Irving and 19th, or the one in Mission). This one has a good quantity of tables AND the setup/decor is great. My only (minor) complaint is the lighting. I'm not a fan of overhead track lights, they're somehow too dim yet also too glaring. It's kind of uncomfortable to work under them. Then again, Starbucks is not really meant to be a workspace, but rather a more romantic sort of hangout space - in which case, the track lights are great at setting up the right mood against the dark wood setting. The space feels very artsy, in a great way. read more

No Starbucks is perfect but this is one of the best ones. Roomy and airy with high ceilings and a decent amount of natural light. Staff are friendly and community-oriented. The locals like it here. Just be careful of the high school rush that happens every afternoon :) read more

I adore this Starbucks. I know lots of Yelpers are coffee snobs & would prefer their coffee beverages elsewhere. I visit about 2x a week, ordering a venti non fat latte, chocolate chip cookie, and a pup cup for my doggo. The food & beverage are 100% consistently tasty & flavorful. My dog always goes nuts for her pup cup. I cannot say enough about the friendliness of the staff and their attention to customer service. The interior is cozy & comfortable whether your visit is brief or lengthy. read more

Workers are so rude here. For no reason. I would understand if I was a Karen but I'm just a shy girly :(

Without a doubt, the best run Starbucks in San Francisco. The baristas are nice and work with great efficiency. The ambiance is nice if you want to sit and chat with a friend or get work done. Thank you Starbucks in Portola for being the speediest and best in town. read more

I've been going to this Starbucks for years. I find the baristas very friendly and helpful.

Owen, Alejandro, and Brandon make this Starbucks the staple it is :) always on time, always kind, above and beyond for us customers!

Started stopping by during my morning work breaks. The service and drinks are excellent. Has large seating area but I'm in and out so I'm not too worried. Best Starbucks experience I've had in a long time. read more

This is my favorite location cuz all the kids there are super sweet. I like to hang out & read my iPad. My only complaint is that sometimes they close early but I know it's not their fault. The pastries are always fresh & I get good customer service every time I go!! read more

Ordered two Impossible sandwiches, came out semi frozen. Staff was rude and unprofessional, manager clueless and dead behind the eyes. How hard is it to heat up 2 sandwiches without being total jerks? read more

Gotta give some props to this Starbucks. They are always pretty steadily busy but always seem to keep up with their orders and get them right. They also have super friendly staff. It's a decent size as well with plenty of seating to meet friends or do a little work. They seem to care about their craft and their business at this location which is super rare in a lot of Starbucks these days. Way to go whoever manages this location. Will definitely keep coming back here to support this business! read more

They didn't have bathroom availability to us when we asked .. and I saw few other people has access code to the bathroom...!!! Bad read more

It's where I grew up and still am. Literally walking distance from home, I've stopped here randomly over the years mostly for business meetings, meetups with friends, and just to grab a drink before or after shopping and going home. I came in an early July Sunday after shopping at Mollie Stones just down the block. Parked in front, I peeked in and saw that there was no line. I happened to remember seeing a Yelp friend have a tropical drink in an out of state review so I wandered in to find only three people waiting for their drinks. After staring a few seconds at the menu, I ordered the iced guava passionfruit drink (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=xMpb4XTSuPZFXlhz7vS0Og&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). Then, in seeing the sign for another new offering, I added a mocha cookie crumble frappuchino (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=g9-JuRjy6ez6tGMyTz4weQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), hold the whipped cream, to my order. I drank the guava passionfruit drink first and found it just okay; I was probably too optimistic in expecting a heavy fruit zing as this was more creamy than refreshing. A few hours later, I had the frappuchino for dessert and, well, let's just say that it was the perfect dessert for my late lunch. It was rich and creamy and left a nice aftertaste in my mouth. Sorry for the single photo (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=knCduEAMg-mmaygPmEZarA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) of the actual drinks as, being 8 am, I stuck them both back in the fridge before actually drinking the first one. Service by both the cashier and barista were cordial, efficient, and with a smile, the last one very important to me. A teenaged athlete who was there with his parent or coach made a comment about my sweatshirt (Pillsbury dough boy, my hero by the way) and I questioned how he know about it at his age. This brought yet another smile to my face. Five star morning experience from beginning to end. read more

The most amazing Starbucks team in San Francisco no matter what time of day you come by. Efficient, kind and professional. Large lobby with plentiful seating, and a fantastic team that always makes sure your drinks/food are correct and to your liking. A wonderful manager with nothing less from the baristas, this location should definitely be a go to for anyone in the city! Hard to come by another location like this!!! read more

This Portola Drive location is one of the worst in the city. The parking for this location is a disaster. Unless you live in the area and can walk here it is not even worth trying to find parking around here. The location looks small from the outside, but it is actually pretty big on the inside. There are always people sitting at the tables for hours, so if you expect to find a table you will be disappointed. This location can't make a latte to save their life. read more

My favorite place to spend a work-from-home day. Staff is friendly, coffee order is always on point, and these people work their butts off to keep up with the demand this location gets! I've appreciated the consistent, efficient, and enjoyable experience for the past two years and will continue to favor this over other locations because they go out of their way to treat me with kindness and familiarity. read more

I had a bit of a rough night and needed coffee. Stopped by this Starbucks location on Friday, July 28th around 6:45am. It was early and a weekday, so it wasn't too busy. We easily found a table for two after getting our coffee orders. I got a triple espresso and I believe my friend got a flat white? I have no idea what that is, but apparently it's espresso with steamed milk? Isn't that just a macchiato? I'm honestly not very versed in all the different Starbucks beverages, but our total ended up being $7.60 for both drinks. I'm not the biggest fan of Starbucks espresso in general as I find it weak, but this did the trick early in the morning. Nice location as it seems comfy and there was plenty of seating when we got there. But I'm not the biggest fan of their coffee. It is convenient though as there are Starsbucks locations everywhere and I can easily use their app to do mobile ordering, etc. Overall, three stars. read more

I go here almost every week with my friends and they never have messed up an order, they're always super nice and helpful, and even though they're busy they always double check your order before you pay. As far as the interior goes, its a large store with many many places to sit. Would definitely recommend! read more

Starbucks - Relatively old photo* - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

On a recent trip to SF, I stayed at my friends' house 2 minutes away. Needing caffeine, I planned on going for a coffee run, and asked what they wanted me to pick up for them. So the conversation went like this: me: Hi, I need these... (looking at my phone for the list) Cashier: Sure, what can I get ya? me: Grande ice white mocha C: Whipped cream? me: I don't know, do people usually get whipped cream? C: Not usually, but some people want it, so I always ask. me: Then, no. me: Also need a tall extra hot non-fat latte C: Any sprinkles? me: Huh? Do people usually get sprinkles? C: Some do, but you don't have to. me: Then, no. C: Anything else? me: Yes, a croissant. C: Would you like that toasted? me: Uh .. do people usually like it toasted C: Some, yes. It's flakier me: Then, yes. C: Anthing else? me: Yes, a cinnamon coffee cake C: Would you like that warmed up? me: What? Seriously!? ...um... do people usually want it warmed it up? C: Yes, if they're going to eat it soon. me: Then, yes. C: Anything else? me: Yes, venti drip, little room for cream. Can you tell which one is for me? We both laughed at the series of questions. He was a great sport for having the patience. The interior is large, spacious and have tall ceilings. There are large black & white prints on the wall, and almost every table was occupied at 9:30 am with people chatting with their friends, and others on their laptops. I like this location, and I would come back if I'm staying with my friends again. And of course, my venti drip managed to wake me up and got my day started ... so thanks for that! * Street parking may be a little tricky as there aren't too many spaces, and others park & wait for the next space. read more

Literally took 15 minutes long and no one was in line when I came in. Idk what was going on. And they don't cap your drinks so my drink was spilling everywhere . read more

This location is the swankiest yet. It's like they took the best ideas from all the other StBuxes and incorporated them into this location. Besides the standard tables for two and tables for four, it also has a fireplace, a communal table and sofas. It looks small from the outside but it's quite roomy inside. Baristas are friendly just enough. It's busy-crowded in the morning, since it's a stop along the very busy Portola Dr (leads to 19thAve/Hwy280S or toward downtown Market St) and O'Shaughnessy Blvd (leads to Hwy101 or alternate route to 280S) intersection. The lack of parking will be evident, unless one is willing to wait or search for parking in the nearby side streets and walk a block or two. Otherwise, meters are $.25/8mins (meter maids have field day giving parking tickets here..bordering on blood lust even). If going around late afternoon, this place is a stop for kids after school lets out. So, the "clientele" is predominately kids, or parents who picked up the same kids from school and decided to stop in. At night, they close early (8pm). read more

Well, this Starbucks surely wins the dirty shop award today. Dirty restroom, dirty counters. But hey, wait, I see a guy wiping tables. And couldn't get a Clover Coffee since the machine was being cleaned so guess some things get cleaned from time to time. Big open space though. Coffee? It's coffee. Nothing to get excited about. read more

Constantly messing up my mobile orders. Ex: making a regular latte when ordering a Vanilla latte

I like this Starbucks location. It's so close to my house and tucked away in a tiny local neighborhood. Next door to Creighton's and Tower Market as well, yay. Never really had a problem with their service. Well, you can't really say too much about any ol' Starbucks and their drinks or pastries. Starbucks will always be Starbucks. I came here once for Thanksgiving studying and it was super distracting because I was still in school mode while a bunch of families were coming in and out, celebrating and cheering on the holidays. Another moment I remember here was when I came to do some reading and ordered a peach green tea lemonade. The barista was like "hey, aren't you that girl who works at that gelato shop?" Yes, I am that girl. read more

I really want to like this Starbucks because the floor plan space is HUGE. If it weren't for the metered parking, this would be my go-to coffee house to work out of. The space alone is worth one added star. Sadly, this location has more cons than pros, and all service related. A few cashiers/baristas here have snarky attitudes that I've never encountered at a Starbucks before. Typically attitudes are friendly and attentive at other Starbucks, which is great. This location, on multiple occasions with different staff, has taken way longer to ring people in line up, and combined with less then friendly attitudes, is surprising to say the least. The other gripe I have with them is their cold brew! I've ordered it here 4-5x and each time it tastes like a burnt Iced Americana. But the place is always super busy that I cut my losses over a $2 drink and try next time. Needless to say, I won't order the cold brew here anymore if they can't get the logistics down on making it. Yuck. Lastly, I asked for a venti iced water to go with my coffee and food I bought, and the cashier stated they're only allowed to give me a tall. I asked if she could make an exception, but she wouldn't budge. Wtf?! read more

This is my Starbucks I hit before work. I hate the fog and occasionally getting into near accidents outside because people don't pay attention that it is a one way street. Even customers coming out of here walk in the middle of the street to get to their car. So many idiots that makes a ton of money, but can't read a sign. The coffee shop opens early and closes even earlier. I get there at 7am and it is empty most of the time and others filled with cops when school is out. The staff tries to get people out fast, so fast that they screw up the orders. When school is in, this street is packed. read more

Props to the dark skinned girl for letting me and my girlfriend into the shop for a quick cup of coffee when they're closing 5 minutes early of 6:30pm on a Sunday. Was gonna leave a fat tip for being in on such a short notice, but... Super no go on the two (one dark skinned male and a light skinned female with tattoos) behind the counter yelling that they're closed and refusing to make anything but tea and a frappucino; and saying it with attitude. Closing earlier than the posted time and giving us the death glare is not customer oriented but in fact disrespectful. After seeing that, we just said yea, no thanks, bye. PS: Thanks Mollie Stones for helping us! read more

Barista messed up my drink today, which is okay. I understand we are human and make mistakes. Instead of just giving me the wrong drink, she goes and pours it out and makes me a new one. What a waste of perfectly fine coffee. She rather throw it away than giving it to the customer. That's not good. read more

Nice layout and technology oriented. Even if I try to avoid Starbucks (especially in SF I would rather go to some indie coffee shop) I really liked this one because of the communal table and the availability of giving juice to my thirsty phone. We did not have difficulty getting a parking spot just in front of the store as it was a Sunday afternoon, but I can guess is not easy to park during 'normal' hours. read more

I am so consistently disappointed with Starbucks now. This was the latest episode: ordered a drink online. Went and waited... waited. Finally went to check. They did not call my name just put an empty cup. I took the cup, waited in line. Asked for a refund. They couldn't find my exact drink (probably because they didn't have it) and ended up refunding me for 5c less than what I initially tried to purchase. So I lost money and no drink. And no offer for making me wait for something they didn't even have. Unfortunately this is a similar experience at many starbucks. Their app does not accurately represent what is in store. read more
