I love them and the service they provide us all. I remember when we were shut down , shout out keep it up...some of us need the boost these winter days though! read more

Great experience! Everyone was so nice and my drink was great! Will be back for sure!

Waking up in San Luis Obisbo, California... A great motivator for me this morning was: Triple Bonus Stars on 8-15-23, 55 Bonus Stars challenge (order 4 iced teas); and 10 cents off and 25 Bonus Stars for a refillable cup! Another great reward was getting a free Starbucks tumbler for 400 Starbucks Stars! I saw a cute California design that I didn't have. It's now a part of my collection! Thanks to the friendly, helpful staff at this location! The cashier was able to process our five transactions efficiently! We found a 15-minute free parking spot on the street. It was within sight of this spacious, clean, quiet Starbucks in Downtown San Luis Obisbo! read more

While visiting San Luis Obispo it was a Sunny day, just stopped by to grab some drinks. Was great customer service. It's located inside the building near a small alley or between two buildings. read more

Starbucks - Ice Vanilla Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

The staff is welcoming and friendly. The store was kept clean inside and out, especially the bathrooms. There was an excellent selection of pastries. The staff asked if we wanted our pastries warmed up, which made a massive difference in the taste of the products. I wanted to thank the staff for the invaluable service on an early Sunday morning during a busy traveling holiday. read more

BIG CORORPATE GREED They move to a bigger location with no chairs inside because they want people to take out and leave. So no washable glasses because they only encourage take out only. No socilization here. We are a college town and they frown on this. They must not want smart college students to work there with this new busisness model. Hopefully they go out of buisness with this business model. read more

Very good and clean inside. :) all of our order tasted delish We will be back :) and the location is awesome read more

too long of wait time guy tried makeong like 10 smoothies at once. there was peoples amoothies made before us even though we ordered 5 minutes before them. read more

I came by this Starbucks after a quick lunch at Firestone Grill. We had a long drive to NorCal ahead of us, so I picked up some caffeine. I got a Grande Iced Coffee with nonfat and 2 pumps. My drink was made quickly in a couple of minutes with the perfect level of sweetness. The cashier was very nice! Wish I had gotten her name. Bathroom code on receipt. The bathroom was clean and well-stocked. read more

Starbucks - Grande Iced Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

The service here is subpar. I ordered a grande sized latte, and more than half of the drink was just foam. I asked if I could my drink filled up more but they said no, because that's how the drink is supposed to be. It's unfortunate, but that's my fault for going to Starbucks, should've gone to and supported a local coffee shop instead. read more

Perfect refuge from SLO shopping! Attentive and very pleasant baristas. They make sure to get my name right and even though it is always busy here, I never feel rushed. My coffee and other drinks/treats are always speedily ready. Right by Barnes & Noble, a perfect pairing. There are a few tables and chairs outside, but the sun is too bright early in the day. read more

We stopped by this Starbucks and noticed there was an Apple Crisp Macchiato on the menu, so I asked Ian about it. He was very informative and helpful with his explanation for not only that drink, but other seasonals. Even the guy who picks up envelopes of money there was impressed by his knowledge. Thanks for helping us out, Ian. Your customer service is above and beyond! read more

LOVED todays workers, ian is my fav fr fr. he knows my name and my friends name and he always asks how i am and hes such a nice person and always welcoming give him a raise!!!! i dinally gor a iced pumpkin chai and it was great, love the fall taste!! awesome beautiful scenery. -jules and gracie read more

Wait times are intolerably long now, even for Drip coffee, and it's particularly irritating when you are forced to wait until after the homeless people get their FREE water. What's worse is that even though service has declined, their electronic payment system is shaming customers into tipping. This trend is a shameless method to force customers to subsidize low paying businesses. I'm over it. read more

Nice location of Starbucks with great collection of collectibles including bottles. Staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Walked in on crutches to quickly grab my order. As i often do. I couldn't find my mask so i ordered in the car and when i walked in i made sure i covered my face and i was in and out in seconds. The extremely rude girl behind the counter says, in the most rude, demeaning voice possible, "next time you can wear a real mask" There are 10,000 ways to handle this better especially the first interaction of the day to just piss me off i tried to find my mask and i made sure my face was covered. Next time ask more polite. Dumb worthless rude a**hole does not belong working there especially right now. Now where i usually have a great start to my day, Will be the place I curse as I pass it everyday. read more

The employees are very nice and very fast... but my drinks are always kinda off. There are times when I ask for soy and I get regular milk and when I asked for light ice in my drink this is what they gave me (I haven't even taken a drink yet). Considering it's basically $5 for juice you think they'd fill the cup up... read more

Starbucks - Strawberry Açaí - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

I so appreciate the two people who helped me out Friday after Thanksgiving. They helped fix my drink and made it hot just like I like. The guy also offered me a 4$ off for my next drink due to inconvenience since I told him this has been happening a lot with the chai tea holiday drink read more

When I first moved to slo, I always came to this Starbucks. Almost all of my drinks were made perfectly and everybody at this location is nice. Much nicer than the staff at the Chorro location who forgets about my drink all the time. This specific location made my drink that had originally been ordered to the Chorro location because I forgot to change the store I was ordering to. No other Starbucks has ever done that for me. I've always just had to forfeit my drink. They're a great location, I'm surprised they dont have a better rating. read more

Thank you Dilan for being so polite and professional! Service was great, my drink was on point and its the same experience every time with my regular barista Dilan! read more

Wouldn't let paying customers use bathroom because it was closed due to them closing in 5 minutes.

A Starbucks in a college town, that should be enough warning! Enter at your own risk. My guess is you will find nowhere to sit and tons of Apple products on tables, in laps, resting nestled next to back packs, or being used feverishly to scroll through to IG/FB. I shouldn't forget to mention this is also one of the only Starbucks in the downtown area...my memory is hazy, its been awhile since I graduated, but I say this fairly confidently. There are a couple of those quirky, one-off coffee shops, but not near this end of the main street. If you're looking to grab a quick coffee or snack, you're all good, if you're lookin' for more - you better go somewhere else. I definitely want to give them props for having ice cold water on tap, with a stack of cups right next to it. I can appreciate this on the randomly hot 805 days, which don't happen often, but they did this last visit. If you don't heed my warning, your bad! read more

Lauren working the cashier was very disrespectful, I ordered two coffees and two bacon Gouda sandwiches but my white chocolate was half way filled so I asked for a top off and she rolled her eyes at me and projected teenage attitude. Don't order from her ask for someone else. read more

I came here today (Friday morning) around 10am and I had a good experience! The store wasn't too busy and a barista greeted me and was ready to take my order right away. I ordered an iced cinnamon almond milk macchiato and a strawberry yogurt scone. The selection of pastries were a little limited compared to how I've seen it before, but I still found something of my interest. My coffee and pastry were ready almost immediately! I was pleased with my drink and the service. This Starbucks has a lot of seating inside and a few tables outside. Overall this is a larger Starbucks with friendly employees and I would definitely come back here again! read more

Definitely not my go to coffee shop in slo because I like going to more of the local shops- but it's a quick pick me up because there's always a Starbucks on the way to something. I got a hot cocoa and it's been a great pick me up this morning! read more

Usually I wouldn't write a review, but the way I was treated was unacceptable. I walk up to order and Emily took my order. Her tone was not welcoming and she cut me off and told me my total when I wasn't done ordering. I ordered 2 drinks and a sandwich and I was waiting there for 20 minutes. One of the workers asked my name and Emily yells from the back and says "I'm working on it!" I would never yell at a customer like that. It was my first time in that specific Starbucks and my last. Do better. read more

One of those hot summer days checking out Downtown SLO just like a norm tourist. My eyes lit when I saw Starbucks calling me for an Iced cold Tea! I ordered Mango Dragonfruit and the boo ordered Iced Mocha. The lady in the cash register taking orders was very friendly and all smiles while taking our order. Unfortunately, Mocha came out hot and told Jacob the Barista that my order was Iced. He took the drink, dumped it and made a new one. Mind you, he did not say a word during those times. I asked for more ice for my tea, took my drink, poured ice and bam! I said thank you and again, he was like a ghost. He was either having a bad day, hates his job or wasn't trained well. read more

Staff is lovely and helpful :) Yes it gets super busy but they always try their best to get you out the door And my drink is always tasty but I don't get fancy or obnoxious either with my order so that's been my experience read more

I never write review before but I was very upset , this morning about 10 am I was asking barista if I could get straw very politely? She turned to me and said "what" very bad tone of voice and angry face. I will never come here again she was so rude, not professional and disrespectful who treat customers like that!! read more

This review is strictly in the context of *other* Starbucks, certainly not other coffee houses nearby. This location beats out the others in my opinion for cleanliness, more friendly staff, and a bit better ambiance (weekend mornings) for some quiet reading in the corner with a cup of Bux. If you're looking for reliable wifi, a reasonably clean and quiet environment downtown to relax and soak it in, this place certainly isn't the only spot to do so but it's a good one... read more

Tis a Starbucks like all the others. If I need to stop in at Sephora or Pottery Barn then I am in luck because they are right there. Woo hoo! Normally long lines and pretty busy I don't usually frequent this Starbucks with so many other great coffee options downtown. Linneas or Ascendo or even Kruzeberg if your in the mood for hipster coffee. Not much else to say about this place it's a Starbucks... read more

This Starbucks is tucked away in the plaza. Came here on a Wednesday night and Dylan was very helpful in helping me select a drink. The team was very friendly and they made my experience a lot better. This was my first visit to this location, I was buying dinner at Splash Cafe across the way and I really wanted coffee. read more

Love this Starbucks! I am a Starbucks Partner and to say I had an amazing Starbucks Experience means I truly DID have an amazing experience. Considering it's Downtown SLO AND they're fast, says they're really good. When I went in on the 11th of August I was helped by Dean and Alex and they were the sweetest and most helpful. Alex helped me more by going out of his way to get me a Veranda from the back, which made my day. On slower parts of the day they were focused amongst themselves and not with any customer, which is the only reason why I gave 4 Stars. Either way,they are, by far, my favorite Starbucks, next to my store in Nipomo. I come here to enjoy coffee and my days off, and the partners here make my time worthwhile. If your near by you've GOT to stop by and enjoy your drinks with almost NO wait at all. read more

Took way to long to get 2cups of water and it is tap water, also they don't know how to spell my name like it's not that hard to spell

Thank you ALEX for making my blonde short Capps EXACTLY how Iike them without even asking. It's like your my souls barista. And thanks Starbucks for the protein packs. You guys are always nice and good I wish you still sold time. read more

Sometimes you just fee like a frappachino...so you come here. The service is usually good, and aside from the last time, they don't normally screw up orders. Lots of homeless people like to hang out around here so it's not as desirable a location as it once was. On a plus you can take Starbucks into the theater, so that's nice. Some good table and bench seating, and lots of windows for people watching. They have a good deli selection of stuff along with coffee and cups. Coded bathroom door to keep the homies out. read more

Ordered online and picked up some water and a sparkling beverage. Super quick even with a Thursday night line. Dylan made coffee beverages super speedy even with me quirping in his ear about how speedy he is. Never seen a barista this fast and add in a chatty Cathy in his ear. He is a true find. Cheers to a perfect beverage and SBUX on a busy farmers market night. They have this dialed in. From a SBUX geek! Way to go! read more

My little girl needed to use the restroom desperately and this was the closest , a girl named Emily was beyond disrespectful and yelled at myself and my daughter infront of all customers for forgetting our masks (like I said we were in a complete rush) she could have been way more professional about it. She made not only myself never come back to this location but made others turn around and leave. read more

Very friendly staff and quick service in a great location . The place is kept very tidy even with the large turnover of customers . Great section for lunch snacks. Unfortunately each time Music is way too loud for normal conversation! It's not a calm place . read more

It's funny because they have a secret menu but they don't even know how to make them. Why even have a secret menu ? Friendly staff just don't ask them to make something from the secret menu. read more
