    Ordered a tea refresher and they said they were out so I just ordered a blonde coffee. All the while I was having my order taken, another asian lady cut me off by shoving in two water bottles for purchase. I was looking at her all pissed and the crew asked if we were together. I said no and the other lady was told that I was first in line. It took probably 5 seconds for the words to sink in before the lady apologized. But to my dismay, I was passed on to another barista who finished my order and took my payment. .... what the eff just happened... Uuggh, the upside(?) is I got my blond coffee which happens to be 1/5 foam in a tall cup.

    Ordered A Venti Green Tea Latte with almond milk and it tasted just ok. The Green Tea taste was very light. The service was fast though.

    One star!! This Starbucks Location has no sense of urgency. Everyone works at a snaiLs pace and doesn't mind Leaving patrons standing around with any acknowLedgement. I stood around for about five minutes just staring at the barista without a simpLe 'heLLo'. I was reLieved to finaLLy pLaced my order for a venti strawberry refresher with no water & substituted with Lemonade and a taLL white mocha with whip. The male barista is taking his sweet precious time with the drinks while the female barista is standing around doing NOTHING. She takes off her apron and there is a line forming, even then it takes her a hot minute to hop on the register. This Location is beyond CHILL and there seems to be a huge Lack of QuaLity controL. My strawberry refresher was super sweet, cup was sticky, and muLtipLe strawberry bits were disgustingly bad ( see my photo)- who serves people that sh*t?? I didn't even bother wasting my time going back to compLain. **Pass on this Location if you have any sense of standards.**

    This Starbucks is indeed down on the Baggage claim level of Terminal 3 as Michelle M. states. It is not by a Food Court in Terminal 3 as Shirley N. speculates. You can even match the wallpaper at this Starbucks from the pic from the SFO dining web site to the pics posted to the Yelp business listing: http://www.flysfo.com/shop-dine-relax/dining I've gotten coffee here a couple of times upon arriving at SFO while waiting for my luggage. I can't say why, but it's been routinely worse than coffee at other Starbucks. The only good thing I can say about it is that it had enough caffeine in it to keep my eyelids propped open for the 50+ minutes drive down I-280 to Cupertino.

    Starbucks has to compete with Peet's Coffee at this airport for prime spots. I was wanting that new Sweet Cream Cold Brew coffee and lucked out finding this out-of-way Starbucks downstairs. I had just used the kiosk to print my boarding pass and asked at the Info Desk if there was a S/B any place close? Lucky for me, there was. However, what this place lacks is the congenial customer service usually afforded to most java junkies who frequent Starbucks. I have never heard of coffee (which is a food item) being taxed but here it is. Also, though you may have a gold Starbucks card, which I do, you are denied free refills, which are your privilege. Try explaining that to the Filipino baristas and they don't care. The answer is no. Since I am not one to throw my weight around, except in the most dire of circumstances, I let this one go. But I was not a happy camper and privately vowed to seek my vengeance here on Yelp. So beware to SFO customers looking for anything beyond the most basic of coffee retailing here. Grab your caffeination fix and be on your way--grateful that some other Starbucks will act like they are glad to see you. 2 YELP STARS.

    Americano tasted like dirty water. The lady got a bit offended when I asked for a re-make. Tasted even worse second time. $6 down the drain.

    This location has always been slow, but is now glacial due to closure of the upstairs location. Avoid unless you have half an hour to kill.

The day we went over, they happened to have the kiosk outside for ordering. The next time we went, it happened to be later in the day and the kiosk and online ordering weren't available, probably bc they were backed up on orders.

The guava flavor came through nicely and complemented the matcha really well without overpowering it. Glad we stopped by and gave this place a try. We'll definitely be back to try more of their drinks.

The cream top is so good and has a super strong pistachio flavor. Would highly recommend the cheesecake too -- it's super light and creamy at the same time because it has multiple layers.

COFFEE: 8/10 SERVICE: 8/10 AMBIANCE: 9/10 COFFEE/MATCHA: 8/10 I can definitely see why their Pistachio Einspanner is one of their signature drinks. The pistachio cream was rich and flavorful without being too sweet, and the presentation was beautiful. My only reason for giving it an 8/10 is that the drink leaned a little more toward the creamy side than the espresso, but it was still enjoyable and something I'd recommend trying. I've tried their matcha and honestly thought it was great quality!! I noticed they sell Rocky Matcha, so I wonder if this is the matcha they use as well? If you are not a fan of just matcha and milk, I recommend you ask for a sweetener to add. SERVICE: 8/10 Service is pretty straightforward, and my order came out in a reasonable amount of time. Interactions with staff were pretty quick, but everything ran smoothly. AMBIANCE: 9/10 This coffee shop is minimal, clean, and aesthetically pleasing. It has a cozy modern vibe with thoughtful decor that makes it feel like a great place to slow down, catch up with friends, or enjoy a quiet morning. They also have a nice outdoor patio if you prefer sitting outside. Seating inside is limited. Overall, I'd definitely come back. While the drinks are a bit on the pricier side, the unique menu and inviting atmosphere make it a fun spot to visit, especially if you're looking to try something different from your usual coffee order. On my next visit, I will definitely need to try more of the desserts that they also sell.

Regular HK-style ones are just okay too, nothing standout. Not cheap either (around $3 each these days?), but I guess you're paying for convenience on the Peninsula. That said, it's not bad at all, and when you're in San Bruno/Millbrae and don't feel like driving into SF Chinatown, this is one of the better local options. Not too many solid Chinese bakeries around here, so it fills the gap without being a total letdown. Best egg tarts are still at Golden Gate Bakery in SF Chinatown--no contest. Theirs have that perfect silky, jiggly custard and buttery crust that makes you want to go back immediately. Suzanne's is fine for a quick fix, but if you can make the trip, skip this and head to GG Bakery instead. Solid neighborhood spot if you're lazy like me and want something nearby, but don't expect it to blow your mind.

Their menu has a ton of options, although there aren't many pictures, so it took us a minute to decide. Thankfully the staff were super friendly and patient. We ordered a dozen Binka Bites in 6 different flavor (Choco Bavarian, Dubai Chocolate, Churro Biscoff, Nutella, Oreo, and Mango Cream), 2 Spam Musubis, and a Chicken Empanada. It was my first time trying Binka Bites and I really enjoyed them. The texture reminds me of a hybrid between mochi and sponge cake, soft, chewy, and not overly sweet. My favorite flavor out of the box was definitely the Nutella. For leftover, I would recommend to microwave them for a 5-8 seconds before eating so it will be soft and warm. The Spam Musubi had a great spam-to-rice ratio imo (very important lol) with decent amount of sauce. Meanwhile, the Chicken Empanada was fresh, hot, and packed with flavorful shredded chicken. Overall, it was a really great first visit. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying their Mini Adobo Rice with Scrambled Egg next time.

There was no line at all, so my drink came out really quickly. Service was efficient, and basically non existent since you order on your phone, and pick it up from the counter. They have some seats indoors and a few benches outside, it's pretty spare and basic inside which is all you really need in a cafe. I saw a lot of people getting takeout, and some small groups around tables chatting. I was debating between the matcha and houjicha, then got intrigued by the black sesame, and finally after much internal debate, decided that black sesame + houjicha would work best together and wanted the einspanner. They honestly have so many intriguing options like Earl grey matcha einspanner??? Banana pudding?? I have to come back. My only complaint is the price but I guess everything is expensive these days. $8/9 for one of these drinks hurt my heart though. On the flavors: while I wish there was more black sesame (I always do), this was one of the most satisfyingly black sesame items I've had from a cafe. It went really well with the toasty roasty notes from the houjicha and I think they added enough of both amidst the milk to make it a very satisfying drink. This can be rare because a lot of places drown out all the flavors with too much milk. The best part though, was the einspanner - the sweetened whipped cream on top really brought the whole drink together and was so delicious. It made it just that little bit more decadent. I got it at minimal sweetness and at first though it wasn't enough, but I was glad I did as I worked my way through the cup, it was perfect.
