    Spectacular location with both indoor and outdoor seating. Usual Starbucks fare, but the staff is much better than average.

    So I've been to a lot of Starbucks around the bay and this one is Super awesome, they always makess my drinks perfect! Definitely good attentive service as well!

    Quick service, friendly baristas, and well made coffees!! I got a classic iced vanilla latte and it was delicious and ready super quickly. I love this location because they have a really nice outdoor seating area, string wifi if you need to work, and a great view of the park. Would definitely recommend!

    You know that I don't really like Starbooks...Starsucks..Starf***. Okay, so today I was going to play tennis and wanted to change scenery by going out to the Presidio. I have never actually been to this Starbucks and had anything. I decided to have a mango dragonfruit refresher tea. Overpriced for the size and too much ice. It was okay, but uh..why bother. Well, just to write a Yelp review for this StarSUCKS! You can hang out in this Starbucks okay. It's for the working people.

    #83! I was very surprised to find out when you Yelp "Starbucks in San Francisco" this particular location comes up as number 83! Granted it is not in a particularly high traffic area and it is a bit hidden in that you have to know about the location ! But it is in the most beautiful surroundings of any Starbucks to which I have ever been. Smack dab in the Presidio bordering the Marina District of SF. Think beautiful water features, lots of trees, greenery... nothing short of feeling like you have been transported to a Zen meditation retreat! I could also describe it as a very, very mini Japanese Tea Garden feel (without the admission fee) if you have ever visited that beautiful place in San Francisco. I am usually here on weekends so the hustle and bustle of the 8 to 5 work routine is nonexistent. I read a lot of the Yelp reviewers make note of the high volume traffic at this Starbucks during work hours... Monday through Friday. And I surmise from that, and their one star reviews, that it can get pretty ugly :-) ..lots of people wanting their coffee with stressed out Baristas. So my solid 5-star review is based on visiting this particular Starbucks during weekends and holidays. If you find yourself wandering around the Marina District near the Palace of Fine Arts and you want a quiet moment and a cup of coffee ... treat yourself with this beautiful park-like setting. Dog friendly and kid friendly ....both the Starbucks and the park :-). You can enjoy the Starbucks' outside or indoor seating but I prefer to wander the park and find a bench where I can bask in nature and the beauty of it all. Also noteworthy... the restrooms in the Starbucks' building are really, really nice!!! And no codes....you don't even have to enter the Starbucks to use the restrooms (men and women).... shhh...secret!

    I ordered a Venti mocha and received a latte. I realized the chocolate was missing from my drink when it was too late. The latte was delicious.

    I come here regularly and it's always busy. Today it's a light morning with probably 10 customers and 3 workers. While I like the ambience, I've got today that this Starbucks has lost its luster with me. This is not the local, small friendly days of past. No hello, no thank you. What do you want? Anything else? Barney would definitely not stand for this Starbucks. What happened to "Please and Thank you?"

    The baristas here sure have a sense of humor. Isn't the stormtrooper on the right a bit short? =)

    Not just any Starbucks...this particular one is located within George Lucas's Letterman Center and caters to the people who work for Lucasfilm, ILM, and Lucasarts - I guess the Star Wars toys and trinkets that adorn a good area of the front area really give that away. Still, the baristas are really nice, the place is clean and beautiful, and the park nearby is gorgeous...I loved grabbing a iced white chocolate mocha and taking pictures of the golden gate bridge in the distance.

    Whether you're stopping for a quick pick me up or need a place to sit and people watch this cute…read morecoffee shop was the perfect spot. My sister and I stopped by and found seating outside to get a little work done and people watch. We got a black coffee, chocolate croissant, and a lemon loaf which were all really good. The workers were so nice, I needed a place to charge my Macbook and they offered to charge it in the back for me while I walked around with my dog. It's right next to Fort Mason and a quick walk to the San Francisco Bay Trail right by the water.

    Yikes, I fear this location is in need of some help! I used to always say I wouldn't leave a "bad"…read morereview and try to talk to a manager, but this location was pretty chaotic. I've been going to this location for at least 3 years. When I went on this day, the quality of the cappuccino was noticeably down bad. It was busy with a conference but.. I've been before in the past during a busy farmers market Sunday and still enjoyed the coffee. It was super loud too, hard to communicate my order without feeling like I'm screaming lol and then the bagel I ordered was so tufff :( Ambiance -- busy! People all crowded around the barista, there's no system other than saying names of orders, and people shuffling around to get their coffees. It's kind of interesting that such a popular location wouldn't have a text notification system to let customers know that their orders are ready. With love send help lol pls

    All around pleasant experience in terms of both the service and coffee. I had the flight and…read morethought it was overall good. They explained that the flight includes an espresso shot, espresso shot with milk, hot coffee, and iced coffee. I hadn't had a straight espresso shot before, so this wasn't for me personally just because it was so overpowering. I enjoyed the other three though. Like the majority of SF, parking is difficult to locate. I was dropped off nearby the location. There is indoor and outdoor seating; I was able to grab an empty spot late in the morning on a weekend, but I don't think seating is always readily available. It's not a huge space.

    Maybe I had very high hopes, nevertheless I wasn't slblown away by the coffee, the almond macadamia…read moremilk or the small bites offerings. At 11 am on a Sunday they were out of their best- black sesame Kouign Amann and the Raspberry Almond Croissant, which I took care of by paying a visit to Juniper bakery (sister business) later in the day. The Mocha with the house made nut milk fell flat. It needed something. I am not a fan of syrupy coffees and appreciate the more purist approach but this one just didn't do anything for me. The chai latte which I would never order was actually the best chai latte I have ever had, it was smooth like silk. Maybe I just had the wrong coffee order. Besides that, got the hot chocolate and the coffee tasting. I was surprised there was no explanation provided with the coffee- I figured it's all Honduran but an overview of some sort would have helped. I enjoyed all the coffees in there except the latte. Will visit again, earlier in the day so they are not out of their best sellers and try a different order.
