Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

3 times orders triple espresso + 4 pump white mocha with half and half cream venti cup always receive almost full cup. Today receive drink just a little bit half and half cream. I paid extra to receive a drink that wasn't like the ones I've had in the past. read more

This is my local Starbucks that I frequent often for a quick caffeine kick or a sugary drink. The staff are always incredibly friendly and they're so quick. Sometimes my drink will be ready within a minute of me ordering. The grilled cheese is always done perfectly and their chai tea latte is never watered down. What else could I ask for from a Starbucks? The interior of the store is simple and they have a good amount of tables to do work inside. However, they do blast their music pretty loud... so keep that in mind if you require a more quiet space to chat or do work in. There's also outside tables where a lot of locals mingle during lunch hours. The parking lot can be a pain here, so you might need to park near DishNDash and walk over. This is a seriously busy hub for all the business plazas in the area! read more

I walked here from the Hampton Inn down First Street. Nice walk and easy to find. I liked the tables outside, although they could use some washing. It was a pretty basic SB. Latte was good. Service was quick. read more

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

Came in for some refreshing drinks and that's what I got. No coffee, but ice cold tea. The drinks were good, and staff was plenty friendly enough, and that was about it in terms of my experience. I wish I could give a more detailed review, but it was a quick and pleasant experience. Overall, I had no real qualms. read more

Starbucks - Vanilla bean frappuccino with Chocolate chips, whipped cream and caramel drizzle on top - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I made an unexpected detour to the nearest Starbucks Coffee in the area since I was running on empty. BEST. DECISION. EVER. We placed our order for a venti iced white mocha & a venti iced strawberry açaí refresher. Staff is extremely friendly, drinks are made well, service is prompt, and the store is clean. 4 stars thanks to my pleasant experience. I wouldn't mind making a return visit if I'm in area and am in need of coffee or tea. read more

I never leave a SB review but I just wanted to thank Ivy for making my coffee the way I like it!! Upon first sip it was literally just the way I wanted it/make at home! I always mobile order and somehow the coffee just never ends up tasting right. It's not hard to mess up an iced americano with soy milk and a pump of vanilla syrup, but a lot of starbucks I go to don't make them how I like it to taste. My coffee tasted fresh and was just the right amount of sweetness. Thank you again Ivy, this coffee made my day!! read more

This location always gets my order correct and the service is friendly. Street parking is limited but there is an attached garage for extra parking. They have both a nice indoor seating area and an outdoor permanent area as well. Great environment to have a coffee and get in some work! read more

hands down the worst starbucks i've been to in san jose. got there when they opened, they hadn't opened the doors yet at 4:30AM and seemed annoyed when I was there early. They had just opened and of course they lazily said they didn't have apple croissants, to which I called him out for and then he proceeded to say they did have them but needed them to "defrost". He was very unpleasant and then proceeded to be condescending when I was trying to scan the app on the scanner, to which he told me it didn't work that way and wanted me to apple pay instead when I was already using the app.. to which guess what? they charged me on my card and the app because he didn't know what was what. do not come here just go to the one closest instead. read more

This is my goto Starbucks, close to work... I order through the app and my coffee is ready in 2 minutes, always, despite how busy this place is... The strip mall location is boring but typical for a Starbucks. This particular strip mall sucks more than most so it is the highlight for me. There is no clover here so if you want fresh brewed coffee you are out of luck... Cold brews sell out quick as well. If you want any of the other offerings Starbucks have to offer then this place lays it down solid. Machiatos, frapachinos, chia, all very accessible here, stop in for a caffeinated beverage of your choice soon! read more

Whether seeing my old friend Victor Montoya as the manager or greeting any of the friendly Barista staff I always have a great experience while at this location. Today I was feeling under the weather and picked up a "sick tea" and it is hitting the spot. It dawned on me that this group of Baristas have always taken such good care of me and my coworkers and I want to make sure they get credit. Their manager Victor is very friendly and always inviting. Everyone working in this café are very smart, funny, knowledgeable, and considerate. They are located right smack in the middle of quite a few major employers. For that reason if you go between 7 am and 10 am you should expect to have a little bit of a line to get your drink. Even in the midst of the heavy traffic they received I've always received great service and hot drinks. Thank you. Thank you. read more

This particular Starbucks is known for their speed because the majority of the customers work nearby and need their caffeine and pastry fix pronto; including myself. I am not much of a coffee drinker only because it has no effect on me. That morning was a rough one for me as I had a tire blowout on 880S. Through the cold and rain, I managed to drive as far as I could towards the Cal Train station because I needed to deliver food for a special someone. Anyway- the staff here are very short, like there's no time to be friendly. I ordered my iced tall quad espresso w/ a pump of white mocha. The drink took less than 2 minutes to reach my hand. The straws here are self served so after grabbing one, I ran to my car so I can get to school w/ a caffeine kick.... I barely had 3 sips when the cup flipped over. The lid wasn't put on correctly so you can guess what happened. My car smelled like coffee for quite sometime. It was my fault, I should have checked. I am not going to ding this place for my carelessness. If you want your coffee and pastry quick, definitely come here. read more

This Starbucks makes the best espresso of all the locations I have tried in the Bay area..pretty baffling how the same coffee machines and coffee beans at different locations result in totally different espresso flavors?!? That being the case, if I get a chance this is where I get my coffee! Service is friendly and usually there is no queue.. interior is bland but it has a nice outdoor sitting (if you don't mind the strip mall's parking-lot view) read more

Surrounded by many businesses, this is the go to Starbucks for many people so you can expect a line in the morning from Monday to Friday! However, that doesn't mean that you have to wait long to get your drinks. The employees here provide great customer embedded with positive attitude (which is important when working in a coffee shop) and the ability to work fast. Although there may be a line, the employees have grown accustomed to the influx of people coming in and do an exceptional job. I usually stop by 2x a weeks but i was impressed when the person taking my order remembered my drink. Additionally, some of the employees know the customers on a first name basis-- great customer interactions! Most people don't work on the weekends; so you can find this Starbucks location to be quite empty. read more

I never thought I'd do a review on a Starbucks (mostly because it's such a large company & I'm sure the general public has heard of / been to a Starbucks), but I must say, the morning crew here is AWESOME!! I come in every so often before work and the baristas are always so warm and welcoming. They make an effort to know you by name, are so incredibly polite (without overdoing it lol), and go the extra mile to make sure you're satisfied with your experience. There are a LOT of businesses in the area so there is a constant pour in of people, yet the baristas manage to keep their energy up and attitudes positive. read more

This is a standard Starbucks location with the typical menu items. There are lots of outdoor seating, 5 tables inside, and small bar area to sit down. This place does get crowded and there are lots of people who fill up the seats quickly. The parking lots fills up quickly around lunch time so try to come early to beat the lunch crowd. The staff is really nice and is the main reason for why I stop by for a cup of coffee at this location. read more

Very quiet on a Sat afternoon. I guess since it's mostly tech industrial around here, not much is going on. So an iced tea order is near instantaneous. Not much ambiance but a decently large space. Friendly baristas and checkout folks. 3.5 stars read more

This STARbucks has got ROCK STARZZZZ! I've been here many times awhile back during the days when YELP mobile was still in the planning phase - and their customer service is just beyond EXCELLENT, it is THE BEST! When you read down the majority vote reviews here and how consistently all the staff here are -- considering the line that goes out the door during their TRAFFIC JAM traffic (mostly morning), the staff have always managed to keep an upbeat and service with a warm and genuine smile! If you want to experience what excellent customer service is like from STARBUCKS, you owe it to yourself to try this place at least once! You will be sure to come back again and again!! Cheers! read more

If you like luke warm coffee and a barista that doesn't know what coffee mints are, then great, otherwise go elsewhere.

This lady who looked to be in charge, her name was Kayla. She made my drink so well not everyone can make my nitro drink like this Starbucks ! Sweet workers and nice place to relax in if you have the time. read more

Starbucks - Nitro - two toffee nut, two white mocha and some sweet cold foam Almost sucked it down ! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I don't really know the point of reviewing a starbucks. but this one was just OK. the interior space was kinda cutup with very few tables and a distinct lack of plushness. the outside tables, no ambience. It faces a parking lot, and beyond that, the trimble and first street intersection. what's the point? the barista was friendly in a way that kind of scared me. i think it's part of the howard schultz company missive thing. it's the first starbucks i've been to since buying many packages of ground coffee at one time at safeway so I could use that coupon where you get $10 off a $50 purchase. TMI, right? The rest of the plaza is a bit dilapidated. read more

how do you review a starbucks store? The good thing about the starbucks... no, it's not their coffee... tons of coffee out there that are way better... its the consistency of their product and service. yes, there may be places where service completely sucked but that's just bad day for you. I was around the area for work and needed a frapp. came in here, was out in 5 mins. can't complain. read more

I agree with a previous reviewer regarding this particular Starbucks being busy most of the day. It's not like that there isn't other Starbucks nearby. This place was packed moments after I sat down to have my cappuccino. And it pretty much stayed that way. Don't know why. Aren't folks supposed to grab their coffee and go to work? Nope, not all. There were a good dozen people sitting there in pairs and sipping their drinks. If I were them, I would not. I rather be at work at 9 AM and not enjoying their coffee at Starbucks. But then again, that's just me. I too would suggest avoiding this location. Instead, I would suggest the following locations: Starbucks inside the Safeway at Rivermark Starbucks at N 1st St & Rio Robles Starbucks at Zanker Rd near Montague Expwy read more

This is my daily morning and sometimes afternoon stop, and I will say by far it is the best Starbucks around!!!! The staff is greatest part of my visits though, they're always cheerful and friendly and really take the time to learn everyone's name and drinks. There are many coffee shops all over the place, but I love to stop here because it's always a great start to my morning! read more

I normally do not write reviews, but this place is never open. Every time I go they are not open. Their sign says they are suppose to be open but they are not. This is very strange and frustrating. read more

Excellent staff and manager, glowing personalities, prompt service. Previously having worked for Starbucks for seven years, I thoroughly enjoy when a store does it right. Almost every day I would either do a mobile order or walk across from my office. They all would smile, were incredibly polite, and go out of their way to ask about day. A clean, always stocked, fast service store is what I look for and I'm glad to have one so close to work. read more

My "work" Starbucks! Or rather, my "escape from work for a few minutes of sanity" Starbucks! I don't go here for the atmosphere; the busy-busy-busy hustle of Silicon Valley culture is far too prevalent. In the morning? Line. At lunch time? Line. At 2:30 afternoon? Line. After 8:00-ish? Closed! So, right about now (it's 4 o'clock, abouts) is when I'll usually head on over, for a bit of a breather from work (not that I do anything of import, now that I've found Yelp), get myself caffeinated, and brace myself for another 2-3 hours of work (again, not that I do anything...) And mostly, I go here for the smiles/giggles/hellos! I *heart* the baristas at this Sbux! They're always (ALWAYS!) cheery and extra friendly, even when all the suit-n-tie "i'm-important-lookitme's" are starting to get antsy. I walk in here, tattered denim and chuck-all-stars, and they treat me well, anyway. Sincerely, the staff here always add a little sunshine to my day... _________________________________ *cute cute cute staff... yeah, I'm a sucker for girls who make/serve/pour drinks. =) read more

My favorite Starbucks to drop by on the way to work. The people who work here are always so friendly and helpful. The Starbucks has an easy to park in parking lot, although I'm always here before 6 AM so I don't know the situation later in the day. Overall, one of the best Starbucks in terms of customer service I've been to. read more

Big points off for long lines, scant seating, and rarely-wiped tables. On my last visit, one girl's boyfriend had taken up one of the four or five indoor tables, camping out, waiting for her shift to end. Bad form. Go to the Metro location instead. Much faster and much friendlier. read more

Unpleasant Starbucks experience. Generally the workers here are pretty nice (+star) but there is one staff in particular who is extremely rude - not just on one occasion but on MULTIPLE occasions (I gave her a chance) and for that reason in am giving this review. I typically get my drink with a flat lid on the side, instead of doing this when I asked for the lid the worker poured part of my drink away, placed the lid on top, and tossed my drink to me and left. The picture below is what I paid $6 for. I will not be coming back. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

It was my first day in my office and I decided to spend my break walking over to Starbucks for my all time favorite drink! There wasn't a long line which I appreciated because there is always a line at starbucks...... I have a complicated order of iced green tea latte, sweetened, shaken, less ice with soy milk. My drink was decent but it was a pale green color because there wasn't enough matcha powder. I guess I will have ask for a little bit more powder in my drink. I will come back for my drink fix whenever I have the time during work! read more

They always have a long line, but most of the workers take their time to greet the customers and not make us feel rush. I always come to this Starbucks since it's the closest one. Beautiful scenery with nice indoor and outdoor sitting. Today was another great experience. Their internet isn't that fast, so my gold card reward won't show up on my phone. I told Melvin I'll try to pull it up and 5 minutes had passed. He knew I got frustrated and he took care of the situation. He is so sweet and patient! Definitely coming here again. read more

The best non-drive thru Starbucks location -- so mobile ordering can't be beat here! But the problem with mobile ordering is you don't get to experience the awesome personality of the entire staff here! And don't let the line out the door fool you. It's only because the counter is so close to the front door. They'll have you on your way in no time! I'm going to miss these guys as my office is moving further down First Street. I'm thinking I may have to make an unscheduled VTA stop! read more

I love this Starbucks. The staff is always friendly. And they make really good coffee. I've been to a few that have been hit or miss with the coffee brewing, but this location has never let me down. read more

This is the Starbucks on my way to work and although I don't usually write a review for the mega super chain of the world, I just had to following a funny incident last week. First to the store, it's in the crowded lunchtime shopping center on Trimble and First St. so lunch time not a great time to arrive here. Also, they are closed on weekends since they cater mostly to the business crowds. Otherwise, they crank out the drinks and rock it like every other store. After I placed an order, I waited near the pick up area which is also near the bathrooms. Now the men's room was closed for cleaning so one guy who either was oblivious or in a rush, went into the ladies room! I performed a double take and I looked around to see if anyone else noticed...nobody did! Everyone was talking, doing their own thing...then before I knew, the guy emerged out of the ladies room like nothing was wrong! I'm not sure if I'll ever see something like this every again! read more

My girlfriend works right around the corner so I'm here waiting for her lazy butt all the time. Like she said, there's SO MANY GUYS always at this place. God. Silicon Valley ratios at its very best... sausage galore. lol It's chill though read more

I work real close by and walk to this Starbucks almost everyday. I usually just a get a good regular ol' cup of black coffee. Sometimes I'll get a cheese Danish, other times I'll get a croissant. What does this have to do with the review? Absolutely nothing. POSITIVES: - The staff is top notch, by far, the friendliest Starbucks I've ever been to. I know almost all the employees and they all always have a warming smile. - Coffee taste like every other Starbucks Ive drank at, so a plus for consistency? - Walking distance from my work so that equals the shizzle. NEGATIVES: - Parking during lunch time is NON-EXISTENT. So carpool or walk or be prepared to hike for your coffee. - Not open on weekends (use to be, but not anymore so now I get to enjoy delicious Carl's Jr. coffee on saturdays! /sarcasm) read more

First visit was today. Noticed ample tables but they were very close together. You'll be elbowing your neighbor. Not enough outlets but the ambiance is nice. My drink was made well. No complaints there. I did notice a good amount of outdoor seating. I liked that. The bathroom was very clean and stocked with supplies. If I'm in the area, I'll go to this one versus the Mercado or Montague location. read more

The staff at this location is always so great! They are fun and professional and always bring a smile to my face! read more
