A gorgeous location to unwind in a primo people-watching space & find some of my favorite Italian roast, this time in a concentrated Cortado that's hot hot hot! Thanks very much KENNA & ANNE for being on-brand, also a reminder that eating here never goes to waste with the STARBUCKS FOODSHARE hunger-relief program. It's "your future, freshly brewed." read more

Starbucks - DO enjoy, and then turn around to READ the other wall! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

This is one of my go to Starbucks locations up in the SLO area. I stop by whenever I am in town. Sometimes parking can be a little iffy out in the lot. Overall, it's a pretty good location and everything is fairly standard and predictable in the best way possible. At this point I almost exclusively mobile order my drinks so they're ready to go when I get in. It is a small location but there are tables available to study. There seems like a lot of students that are there. I always try to get one of the seasonal drinks that they have at the time to see if there's anything unique. Otherwise the macchiatos or the lattes are always a good option to go out. Their sandwiches are good as well and you always get the option whether not you want it as is or they are able to heat it up for you. Make sure you download the Starbucks rewards app so you get points and rewards read more

Great coffee, but super slow! Do you order aheads, super ahead of time!!!!! Clean atmosphere, good music, little seating. read more

I go here regularly to buy my morning coffee, and the employees are all very great. Everybody seems to be in a great mood and works very quickly to get everybody's orders out. The bathroom is clean. I will say this is not the best Starbucks to study at because the seating is small tables, but you can still get it done here. read more

I've been coming here for 10 years! I love the young people who work here--this Starbucks feels like my second home every morning. Thank you all for your wonderful service. Keep up the great work! read more

Every time I've come here I get the regular common Carmel ribbon crunch, sometimes extra Carmel and the crunch stuff, but everytime I've come here, they didn't add any extras, and it tastes like I'm drinking straight ice. read more

What can you say about Starbucks that You haven't already said? I love the iced Green tea read more

Starbucks - a coffee shop counter with menus on the wall - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Juan is the man! So nice and considerate, provided good vibes and quality service. I really appreciated his nice demeanor.

Happy to see this Starbucks with a register at front of entrance. You can actually just walk into the business and order. The associates are pretty cool under all this duress, even with curious customers that are overly questionable. You are still able to order on your app and it's probably more efficient but if your taking a walk and happen to walk by, well just stop in and order, you'll still have to wait outside but its something we have to do till everything calms down. I applaud Starbucks for the extra effort they are doing to protect the employees and their customers. read more

Starbucks - Covid-19 register. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Way under staffed. In multiple locations. Love the product but often can't wait 20 minutes for a juice. I know I can order online but sometimes it's a last minute decision. read more

Put in a mobile order for this location - they've got some serious operational issues and a clientele that largely consists of college kids who aren't aware that we're in a global pandemic that's killed more people than 100 9/11's, not that they can remember that either. No distancing, there were about 30 people in this small store. Orders were stacked up. Finally got our order and it was missing sriracha, napkins, etc. Not worth the $18 for feeding two people breakfast. An older woman lost her mind at how packed the store was, even telling me that the usual manager here just transferred to San Diego. Guess they're going through pains getting up to speed with a new manager. Either way, won't be back here! Cheers y'all. read more

My favorite store! Service is always amazing and really friendly staff. Also love the new coffee machine!

I am in shock, I came into this store with the intent of a quick in and out to get my daily coffee. The store was almost entirely empty with one other customer also waiting. There were four baristas that seemed to not have a care in the world about their job, including the store manager. Overall the wait was around 30 minutes for one drink. The service and staff needs to improve immediately and if I could give zero star review I would. read more

This Starbucks is a pretty average Starbucks. I've personally never had a really bad experience and I go here often. The quality of the drinks is always good and the baristas are always pleasant. The line can get backed up and there isn't a lot of table space or outlets available. Ordering ahead is probably your safest bet if in a rush. During the school year, not the most ideal place to study. In the morning just allot an extra 10-15 minutes to have to wait for your drink and you should be fine. I love the long hours though. So many coffee shops close early and I know I can get my fix late into the night (or at least 10 pm) at this location read more

Without fail, my order gets messed up every time I am in this Starbucks. They have 5 people behind the counter but they still manage to mess it up somehow. Piss poor quality. read more

Starbucks - a person holding a cup of coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

It is such a ridiculously busy Starbucks. The closest to campus, of course, it will have students as staff. There is a staffing shortage everywhere, sometimes you get what you get. I wouldn't say I like reviews from out of town when you have no idea how it is day to day. Starbucks is my regular morning coffee in San Luis Obispo. Their staff are friendly and try their best. I love the manager with the bright blonde hair. She has been so kind and attentive every time I come in. She treats her staff with respect even when they make a mistake which can happen. I appreciate that. I can't tell you how much their new remodel has made all the difference as well. The store is typically very clean. read more

The workers here are so rude. They didn't even acknowledge us when we walked in, we stood waiting at the register for someone to take our order, and the cashier seemed annoyed with us. I think her name is Anna. I would not come back to this location. read more

Great service. Julia really went above and beyond to take care of us. This is definitely the ideal Starbucks, what you would want in the early morning. You already know what to expect with the coffee and food. It's a lot better with Julia serving read more

I rarely give a Starbucks Coffee a 5 star review but this was a 5 star experience and so much needed on my recent road trip down to SoCal. I was super sleepy and tired so this was a welcome stop to grab a quick cup of tea. The staff was super friendly and I was very surprised they had some major for sale items! Starbucks merchandise is my weakness. haha. Lovely location, right next to Jamba Juice as well so it satisfied everyone in my party. Great location! read more

Not friendly, didn't make drink as requested and threw away extra after bring told that was all I had for nutrition all day. Thanks allot. Not cool..That's really not nice..very frustrating.. That was my review last time..funny this time they claimed to not even have the protein powder...sad..you think someone who gets a frap a day would be someone to please with customer service.. I'M STICKING TO MY 24th & HIGHWAY 101 in PASO..THEY ARE AMAZING!!! read more

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

It takes a lot for me to leave a bad review. That being said don't bother putting special instructions when ordering via the mobile app. Several times I've requested no whip cream on my drinks and the label on my drink will state "No Whip" yet, there it is. Their excuse can be attributed to laziness or stupidity. After watching how fast they work I can't say they are lazy so it kinda narrows it down. read more

Been coming here for 7 years, but recently service has gone downhill. Some baristas are great at their job and some are really not, and clearly don't care. I tend to go in the early afternoon and I see the same people a lot. My issue is that they get my iced green tea latte wrong about 70% of the time by not shaking/stirring it. I know this drink gets a lot of hate iced, but I don't see how it is any more time consuming than other shaken teas. We all have jobs, and we all have parts of the job that we don't like, but you have to do them. Grean tea lattes are supposed to be shaken to break up the tea that will form a huge ball in the bottom. When I have ordered it shaken, I have gotten some eyerolls, and I generally try to people please, so I generally take the drink home and shake it in my shaker to fix it when I can. read more

I think this is the best starbucks I've been to! The staff were all very friendly and they made a delicious caramel macchiato for me! It's also not too busy or loud for studying/conversation. There's also plenty of parking. Highly recommend this one versus the Cal Poly starbucks locations. read more

There is currently a poor barista at this Starbucks. He got my order wrong, It was so hot I had get ice from him. Then when I tasted it; it was like water. I'm really disappointed. You know how it is. I'll come back for sure. The guy's name tag simply said pride. I'm all for Pride. But today I don't like it's coffee. *Oh sadness* read more

This is the worst sbux in slo county. Every time I come here they get my order wrong. I just waited very long for a bagel and a drink because they made my drink wrong and forgot to put in my bagel. The staff is super nice and friendly which makes me feel bad leaving an unsavory review but I used to work at Starbucks for 5+ years, and in several locations across the country--this Starbucks is the most inefficient Starbucks I've seen yet. As I said, normally I wold give my baristas the benefit of a doubt, but they weren't even busy, they were chatting it up, and were not paying attention to one another--which is why they got my order wrong. A Starbucks should run like a smooth, well-oiled machine. This Starbucks is rusty and musty. read more

I really enjoyed the Cloud Macchiato! Kelsey is always so welcoming when I come in and she's so nice. I really like coming to this location!

Worst slo location. No lines and waited 20 minutes for a matcha that looked like milk

This specific location is the slowest I've been too and it wasn't even busy. Avoid if you want your items in a decent time.

I work at a Starbucks in Downtown Los Angeles, pretty busy, but my partners are super friendly and we've never had complaints about our attitudes during a shift. I went to this Starbucks yesterday and today. The girl who worked yesterday was super friendly and we had no problem with our drinks. Today, the two girls were rude, especially the barista on register. The girl who made my drink was pretty annoyed because I saw that she had made many frappuccinos before ours. Mine was not even made correctly and it was a simple caramel flavor. I'm not going to be a customer who says I will never go to this Starbucks again when I'm visiting but this staff needs an attitude adjustment. read more

Tip for the ladies... I had a friend in high school that used to frequent this Starbucks consistently just to view the slew of EMTs and firefighters that frequent this joint due to the uber-close proximity of Sierra Vista hospital and the local fire department. Perhaps she had a secret plan to choke on her bagel and cream cheese, hoping one of these local beef-cakes would rescue her by performing the heimlich maneuver or mouth-to-mouth... This Starbucks is my mecca... I return time after time whenever I come home for a quick trip or vacation to SLO. Hey, and while they make your chai tea latte you can walk on over to Fantastic Sam's near Albertsons and get a haircut. A decent haircut and a decent latte, 15 bucks... not bad. And be sure to bring your laptop and check your email while you're at it. read more

Worst Starbucks to get delivery from, today was the second time I have gotten a frap from here and both times they forgot my straw, and I order a chicken bacon panini, they were out but didn't even tell the driver so he could inform me, they just wrote me a stupid note telling me to get a refund for it. The only reason I ordered from here was because all the other Starbucks weren't delivering, bad mistake! read more

Rude employees. Made drink wrong and talked bad about me to their coworker right in front of me. I didn't even ask them to remake it. Won't go back. read more

5 stars for customer service!! The employees are so kind and the store is always actively trying to be involved with the community. I have worked for a Starbucks myself and I can say in my personal experience that this Starbucks is greatly run and does its best to make its customers feel at ease and comfortable. read more

By far the best Starbucks in SLO as far as the drinks are concerned. Used to be even better, when Jacob and Peter worked there... No cushy chairs. Not much seating at all, actually. Definitely a high-traffic location for students and cops/EMTs/firefighters alike. Gets the job done well! read more

Clean, single seater bathrooms as well as efficient customer service. It is perfectly designed when youre on the go with a mobile pickup area and lines that are typically not too long. I think they even allow dogs inside. read more

Well this is my new go-to Starbucks. It's close to my house, the staff is super friendly and sweet to me, and it's improved from a month ago. I think if you've been a Starbucks-goer long enough, you know by now that building a rapport with a barista (or two) can be very rewarding. You get that little bit of extra attention that just gives you a sense of...belonging there. Here's the thing with this Starbucks: the tables are plentiful but they are all round and small! Though close to campus, it's intentionally not as welcoming to students (because we all know how students buy one thing and stay for hours studying). And I don't mean they are cold to students. Definitely not! Many of the baristas are students themselves there! I'm saying the tables aren't very conducive for laying out your books and laptop simultaneously. They are tiny and round. There are a few electrical outlets present. I like that the restrooms are well-kept and clean too! So here's the layout: 10 tables. Three of them are short and round, one is rectangular (but handicap designated). Between these four tables there are three electrical outlets (one hidden). The other tables are tall and circular (think barstool-seat, tall). One of those tables is by an electrical outlet, the rest are not. This Starbucks has great hours! Mon-Sun 5am-10pm Just remember, a little respect goes a long way. With anyone. read more

After leaving Los Angeles, CA at 5am and driving 3 & 1/2 hours to San Luis Obispo for a 9 am meeting I was in much need of some coffee. I saw this Starbucks and decided I need to get some JAVA FAST & PRONTO... I found parking even with all the cars coming & going that early in the morning and walked inside. Indeed there was a line to order from the cashier, but it did move along quickly. Once I ordered my Caramel Macchiato, it only took about 2 mins to receive my much needed coffee. I can saw that the Cashier was very nice and efficient as well as the Baristas who made my concoction of a coffee. They flowed everyone through so everyone was happy and getting on their way, myself included. Will return to this Starbucks if ever I have to be back in SLO. read more

Going into to Starbucks today was probably the worst decision I have ever made not only was the employee super rude after I waited 25 mins after ordering in store for my 2 drinks and sandwich's the whole store was told to wait outside at this point we had 1 drink and both sandwiches. Then 2 times we had to send our last drink back because of careless mistakes. Like just take a deep breath and calm down they all were rushing so much they were making 2x the mistakes. They are normally pretty okay in there but today was one of the worst experiences at Starbucks in my entire life. read more

I Did not have a good experience in here. I won't be back. The cashier was very distracted and not paying any attention to my drink order. I wanted to try a new holiday drink called salted caramel latte. I got my drink went outside, I took my first sip and I had to spit it out in their bushes. The drink had abundance of salt at the bottom WHAT! As if this was a joke or something.. I could not believe someone would actually think that this was ok for someone to drink! I walked back inside to tell them how horrible this was and of course I got rolling eyes and another salted caramel latte with less salt. What a Salty start to my morning. read more
