    Dragon drink for my child
    Vladimir C.

    First time ever getting a good drink at Bristol & McArthur. Shout out to Edith who delivered.

    Chocolate Mint Frap! Yummm!!

    The service was so nice at this Starbucks. Bri and Inigo gave me the best customer service, always with a smile and very caring. Fast service, awesome customer service, great store!!!

    When in doubt just remove the plates all together and replace with covers with no holes for plugs. Wow.

    I can say by far this is the worst Starbucks I have ever been to. That's saying alot considering I have been to every Starbucks In California just about. Let's start with the first issue. Worst tasting coffee I have ever had. I did not think Starbucks could make bad coffee. 2nd there is a security guard there obviously because it must be a bad area. The bathrooms are locked down with codes so I don't feel very secure with a bran muffin purchase. Nope. 3rd and this is a major issue. I don't agree with people who camp at Starbucks any more than perhaps the staff but I would never hold a meeting here or bring a client here that is for sure. All of their plugs are locked down with metal plates like fort nox. It's rather insane. If I were you with the taste of coffee and service and the lockdown of the plugs find any other Starbucks than here. In fact perhaps even a Coffee Bean. This is very very sad and makes me mourn this city and collectively brings me to a place of utter discontent for all those who love and admire Starbucks. The go to place for in the business people who love to spend money all day and dine their clients and friends this place is not. Don't come here. It's really disappointing. This is exactly how you say. We don't like you. We don't really want you here but we would like to have your money. No thank you.

    We went to this Starbucks and they were backed up on their mobile orders so the cashier stated it would take 15-20 minutes extra to get your order. I was in a hurry and so I simply asked for an iced water and a barista stated this would also take 15-20 minutes (in a rude way) due to the glitch in the system. There were 4 workers how does it take 15-20 minutes to get an iced water so ridiculous and disappointing as I'm a huge Starbucks drinker! Had to go to Milk & Honey great service there and the Spanish latte is amazing! Never coming back here again!

    Time has passed since my last review. I make this location my only stop before my workday begins. I am very satisfied with the service and efficiency of the staff, thank you!

    Alright so I had left a three star review about half a year ago. The new management is way better and the new baristas are super friendly. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Indigo, they are very stylish and funny. Also Ethan hands me my order to my hand very cool! 10/10. The store is busy so you will wait a bit for your drinks but hey the workers are working hard.

    Floors were not mopped in a few days maybe!

    Service is horrible. Waited for 2 regular coffees for about 15 minutes while employees chit chat! I would have walked out if I hadn't already paid. The place was dirty too! Floor was dirty like if it wasn't mopped the night before! This was at 7:00am! And when we got the coffee it was cold! First time ever I have been disappointed at a Starbucks!

At the Costa Mesa location, parking was a little tricky at first, but after circling we got lucky with a corner spot. The location itself is SO cute! It's right next to colorful barrel fountains, and on a sunny day it honestly felt like the perfect coffee outing. The line was pretty long and you are standing in direct sun, so just keep that in mind, but the service was quick and efficient once you order. Inside, it's small but really charming, with Sunny Angels hidden around and a very open, friendly vibe. My sister (who is basically a professional coffee drinker at this point ) got the matcha and said it was her favorite, which says a lot. I got the iced Spanish latte with oat milk, and it was SO good. Spanish lattes are my go-to, and this one had the perfect hint of cinnamon without being overly sweet. Even as the ice melted, it still tasted great, which is rare. The Torrance location was just as good! Parking was easier, the space is bigger, and the service was still super friendly and fast. My husband got the cold brew "Nook way" and finished it in like 10 minutes. He said it tasted like Golden Grahams cereal. Highly recommend both locations and especially the Spanish latte. Definitely worth the visit!

If you do visit, I recommend opting for their strawberry matcha, lavender matcha, or any specialty drink other than a basic latte to add some flavor. The syrups are what makes the drinks tasteful while the matcha or coffee base are lacking. Overall, nook coffee isn't the worst but it's also not a place you should go out of your way for.

It looks like the only cinnamon flavoring came from the sprinkled cinnamon on top of the drink. The Eggs Benedict were also okay. Nothing special with the sauce. The dish also does not come with any sides. Overall, I do not think I will come back here again any time soon. The restaurant itself is beautiful, but the food and parking situation was disappointing for me. There was also a huge wait time to receive your food.

Despite being relatively close to two major colleges - OCC and UCI - this place wasn't as crowded as you'd imagine it would be. They serve coffee, matcha, breakfast foods like breakfast burritos, protein bowls, avocado toasts - but I didn't pick anything to eat since I already had lunch. I shared with the barista that it was my first time here, and he asked what type of drink I was looking for. I told him something iced and caffeinated - and he mentioned his favorite was the Honey Cinnamon Latte - which I opted for - iced, with oat milk. Total was $8.50 including tip. My iced Honey Cinnamon Latte was yummy, creamy, and fantastic! With the oat milk substitute, it sorta tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in liquid coffee form. It wasn't overly sweet, definitely had a nice kick to it - love this recommendation by the barista! I checked out the rest of the space and used their restroom to wash my hands - it's really a neat space here. Lots of seating. Lots of space. There's an adjacent room that's connected to the cafe called "Flow Space" - which is utilized for small popups and arts & crafts. Neat spot for smaller community members to showcase their wares. Some of the other reviews mentioned no a/c - which had me worried considering we were having a bit of a heatwave lately - but to my pleasant surprise, A/C was on and cold! It was a great escape from the heat. Free wifi - fast enough for a zoom call if you need to hop into one - my speedtest reported download speeds of 17.5MB/s Restroom is clean and well maintained. Plenty of parking - of course, I stopped by a little after 2pm, so already avoiding the tail end of the lunch rush. Only downside is they close kinda early - 4pm - but open up at 7am. Great spot! Will probably be my go-to considering there's ample workspace, plenty of parking, less crowded than other coffee spots in the immediate area. I'm curious to try their matcha the next time I'm here, as well as possibly their breakfast burritos, since photos for that looks delicious.

But the Mint Mojito Coffee is in a completely different league. It's unlike anything I've ever had. If there were a Philz Coffee closer to my house, I would honestly buy it every single day. It's easily one of my all-time favorite coffees. The Philz Coffee across from South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa can get pretty busy, so parking isn't always easy during peak hours. Luckily, you can order ahead on the mobile app and simply pick it up. My favorite part is taking that very first sip while it's freshly handcrafted before putting the lid back on. That first taste always makes me happy. The friend I brought with me ignored my recommendation and ordered a cold brew instead. After a few minutes, I convinced them to try just one sip of my Mint Mojito Coffee... and that was the last sip I got. They loved it so much that they practically claimed the rest of my drink. The staff are friendly, and while there isn't a lot of indoor seating if you're planning to work on your laptop, there is a nice patio where you can sit and relax. It's a great spot to catch up with friends over an amazing cup of coffee. If you're visiting Philz for the first time, do yourself a favor and order the Mint Mojito Coffee. You can thank me later.

Phil Jaber founded Philz Coffee in 2003 and spent years experimenting with various coffee beans from around the world to create over 30 different unique blends. Each "cup of love" is custom made in front of you and finished off with their signature mint leave. The Philz baristas make sure your drink is to your liking before you pay. One thing that is unique about Phiz is that they don't do lattes or cappuccinos. The Mint Mojito Iced Coffee is their best seller and still my personal favorite. I ended grabbing one and a bag of coffee beans before hitting the road to my next destination.
