Location 4: In Santa Ana, CA (Irvine adjacent), corner of MacArthur Blvd and MacArthur Place. Small parking lot shared by many restaurants and a parking structure. Mostly foot traffic from the residents of the high-rises and hotels nearby. Venue 4: Medium sized venue with Indoor and outdoor tables. Clean and free rest rooms. Typical Starbucks setting. Thery close much earlier than other Starbucks (usually around 6 PM). Check the hours before you go. Service 4: Polite, efficient and to the point. Or you can skip standing in the order line and order on your Starbucks app! Food 4: Same menu and quality as other Starbucks. Cookies, pastries, salads and sandwiches. My favorites are the Egg Bites, Breakfast Sandwiches and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Prices are reasonable and quality is consistent. Drinks 4: Nice assortment of hot and cold coffee and tea-based beverages. Seasonal specials. Prices are reasonable and quality is consistent. The last word 4: Great place to have a beverage and a snack if you are in the area. Would definitely visit again! read more

I mean it's Starbucks. But I love that this place is pretty fast to make drinks and they make them well. The workers greet everyone and I love the little smiley faces they do on the cups. The parking lot isn't big but there's always somewhere to park.

Was denied bathroom access simply because they were closing soon. As a paying customer, this is disappointing and unreasonable.

I have been coming here since 2019 because I live across the street. I order almond milk because I'm lactose intolerant. Today they put regular milk instead of almond milk. It tasted different but I didn't pay much attention to it, then when I arrived home, my stomach was hurting and I trashed half of the coffee. Now in the afternoon, I've had stomach pain all day, and extremely bloated. Hopefully this can be a coaching opportunity to pay attention to the milk selection, some people order different types of milk because we CANNOT have regular milk. Thank you read more

I walked into Starbucks at 7 AM, ready to order, only to be told they had no change for my $100 bill on a $31 order--absolutely ridiculous. I get that we're moving toward a cashless world, but cash still exists, and a major business should be prepared for it. Telling a paying customer to go to an ATM and pay a fee just to complete a transaction is unacceptable--do better, Starbucks. read more

Come to this Starbucks occasionally when I'm in the area. To be perfectly honest, it's not a particularly memorable Starbucks - it's certainly not bad, never had a problem with the service, either - but if you asked me what I like about it or why I go there, all that comes to mind is: it's a Starbucks. That said, it's good at being a Starbucks, so I'm rating accordingly! read more

It's such a shame to have an excellent location that is just across the street from two major hotels, and staff it with a smart mouth manager that talks down to customers and laughs at them. Are you kidding me? What gives an employee the belief that he is above the level of his customers. That is the world we live in today. It just shows you how much Starbucks has fallen over the last number of years. Proves they will hire anyone without proper training and management skills as a properly trained store manager would demand more per hr. read more

Cons: primarily the only thing keeping it from getting 5 stars in my book is the afternoon close time of 6:30pm is a bit too early to my liking. Novelty: great spot overall nonetheless. read more

I work at the building next door and have been working and coming to this Starbucks for the last 9 years. It used to be great, but man these employees need a serious attitude check. There's a girl that makes drinks, she wears glasses not sure what her name is, really don't care... but bro she wake up on the wrong side of bed every morning. She's rude as f, she can't be asked for things because god forbid it happens she gives you the look of h3ll lol. Today a gentlemen was having trouble finding his drink in their pile of unorganized orders and she looked at him and said "this one right here?!!!" , then proceeds to rudely handing it over and under her breath she told her co worker " like I'm not busy or anything". Her co worker also giggled and they reminded me of Regina George from mean girls lol I mean girl, good thing you're busy, and be grateful that customers are coming in because otherwise you'd be left without a job. Your customers are the reason you get a pay check , that's how business works. If you don't like your job, find another one or fix your $hitty attitude, acting like Micah and Irina from Love is blind...eww. read more

This location happens to be great for me as it's within 50 feet of my home! The tricky part about this location is typically parking is a nightmare. If you're here early or late enough in the day it's okay. During Covid, I have to say this spot has done a stellar job of being organized and on top of expediting mobile orders in the morning. I've been to a TON of Starbucks recently and Covid seems to stop them from operating well. This place breaks that habit. The only feedback would be, I would love to not have to touch the door handle to get in, but this is easy to solve with a door-puller which are becoming common now. Overall very impressed with their attitude and organization through Covid, so, kudos! read more

I was charged 50 cents for a "free refill". The reason I gave 1 star is not about that 50 cents at all, I could care less. It's because when I asked about the charge, non of the staff working there seemed to give a damn. They even lied to my face that 50 cents are going to be credited back to my account. How do they know it's my account if my app wasn't even scanned?

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!

The parking however, was VERY filled during this time. The line was huge for a 11:00am on a Friday morning. We were bummed that the QR code was not working on the very cute wooden signage outside the coffee shop while we were in line, which was a bummer. The Honey Oat Latte with oat milk was delicious. I am notorious for chugging my iced coffee but this was absolutely delicious. A sweet, subtle honey sweetness taste and the creamy oat milk was divine. My manager's Spanish Latte was so much better & I will be getting that next time! We bought our other coworker the Strawberry Matcha, which we did not try & we were worried after the fact because it did not look like it had strawberries in it, but she confirmed it was very tasty and tasted the strawberry! The outside seating areas in this outdoor area was very cute. Lots of fun art, the directory was creative, the CD tunnel was the coolest part! We also walked over to the breakfast burrito place as well. This seems like a nice area to come and relax and just people watch and enjoy a delicious iced latte from Nook.

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.

There is seating available but the store itself is on the smaller side. They definitely packed as many seats in as possible, so if you're looking to study you may be elbow to elbow with other customers if the store is busy, which it usually is but take that as a sign that the drinks are good, and worth waiting for. The service is always really nice, and again there is alot of care that goes into everything. Highlights include the strawberry latte, banana latte, hojicha latte, and when it was available the seasonal double matcha.

The area was surprisingly quiet when I visited, I didn't see many customers, which made it easy to stop by and give it a try. I ordered the Matcha Einspanner and it was delicious. The matcha flavor was rich and well-balanced, and the espresso complemented it nicely without overpowering the drink. It was flavorful, refreshing, and tasted higher quality than I expected. The only downside was the portion size, which felt a little small for the price. That said, considering it's located inside Bloomingdale's, it's somewhat understandable. Overall, it's a nice spot to grab a drink and take a break after a long day of shopping. I'd definitely stop by again to try more items on the menu.

I've tried different drinks here, the only drink I'd order again is the Matcha Tornado. However,…read morethey don't consistently make the drinks; I've tried to customize my order with 25%, 50%, and 75% sweet but they always came out the same as 100% sweet. So I wonder if they actually customized it or not. What I really don't like about this place is they don't handle the drinks with care. They just toss the drinks on the counter, the cups usually have spilled milk outside, or the lids are not tight. I saw so many customers dropped their drinks when they picked them up. Just yesterday when I picked up the matcha tornado, it splashed all over my shirt.

Although I mainly go for tea right now and my family likes the food and sometimes coffee drinks. The pastries are really quite tasty. They have great coffee sticks which I might try next time too. The next time you go, try a pastry, so far I like the coffee cake muffin a lot, but the croissants are great too. Tell them Frankie sent you although it might but really get you anything. In just enjoy supporting great places who do things right.

I love stopping at Philz whenever I travel to California. I was introduced to them back in the day…read morewhen I was chilling in San Francisco. I love the quality of their beans. I was driving from Newport to Huntington Beach and came across this location in Costa Mesa. The store is a little hidden from the main road and not very spacious. But the drinks and customer service were great as always. I went in wanting to try something new, but defaulted as always to my longtime favorite Ice Mint Mojito. 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.

I enjoyed the Strawberry Matcha,…read morewhich was refreshing, smooth, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. My husband ordered the Brown Sugar Maple Latte and absolutely loved the rich, warm flavors. We also shared the Ham and Cheese Pesto Croissant, and it was delicious--light, buttery, flaky, and filled with great flavor. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. One of our favorite parts was the outdoor seating area. We loved dining outside and enjoying the beautiful weather while sipping our drinks and relaxing. It created the perfect atmosphere to slow down and enjoy the experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, the drinks were excellent, and the food was just as impressive. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for quality coffee, delicious pastries, and a great outdoor dining experience!

It is unfortunate that as I was browsing reviews, another very recent review touched upon the…read moreservice experience here too. I came in today and was served by a blonde cashier who felt cold and unfriendly. She was very bubbly and warm towards the patron (who was also a white woman) before me, who maybe seemed to be a friend or a regular. They were chatting for a bit and when it came to be my turn at the register, her face completely fell and she did not welcome me or say any greeting. Just.....silence........so I awkwardly ordered my drink. Once I said my order, she turned her head to the specials menu, and had a cold, blank expression, which made me think that it was out or that they couldn't do what I asked. I asked her if the drink I ordered was available, and there was a long pause before she dryly laughed it off and said that she didn't register what I was saying. It felt like a lame excuse and it felt so awkward; so I just tried to be as polite as possible and continued with my order. I wanted to just sit down and leave asap. It was so disorienting because she had acted in a completely different way with the girl before me. I just shrugged it off as a bad day, but when I consulted my friend about it, she said that the same girl acted in the same way towards her. And then I came here to write a review and saw that another Asian woman seemed to have a similar experience, so it doesn't just seem like a one-off thing....

Coupled with the faint smell of tea in the store, and you know that you're going to get an authentic experience. Store is very clean inside and the decor reminds you of being in a tea house. There's only about 3-4 tables inside, so not too many places to sit if it gets busy. You can order through a kiosk or in person, and the service is usually pretty timely. I ordered the Roasted Oolong tea latte and the Phoenix Oolong tea latte, both of which are their more popular drink selection. I usually try to get the lowest sugar level which was 10%. Of all the tea places I've tried, these drinks easily had the strongest tea flavor at that level of sweetness. If you're not use to the bitterness from tea, you might elect to select a higher level of sweetness to balance it out. The oat milk has a very subtle flavor, but also doesn't overwhelm the drink. Either way, I thought both drinks were well-made.

We tried the pork belly and the cubano sandwiches. They were excellent in every way. The cubano was true to spec. Tender ham, mustard pickles on a beautiful roll. Simply delicious. The Pork Belly was spectacular. The pork was tender and flavorful and the cucumbers, cilantro, onions and jalapeños made it a flavor delight. All on a delicious roll. Just writing this makes me want another one! However, there's one thing you do not want to miss. Their newest addition is Salt Bread. These are sold 4 to a package and and are like the yummiest croissant you've ever tasted. I was sitting waiting for my order to be completed when the owner cam out with a bit of one on a fork. I was hooked. They're already baked, but the instructions are to put them in an air fryer (we used a small convection toaster oven) for 2-4 minutes at 350. I also like them split and toasted. They're fantastic! You'll want to put The Sandwich Society on your restaurant list! (And you'll want Salt Bread in your pantry too!).

You can order and pay for your sandwiches on the kiosk. The worker was kind enough to give us a sample of their cheese bread. We ordered the Hot Pastrami Melt and the Bulgogi Cheesesteak sandwiches. The toasted buns on the pastrami melt gave a great texture and helped it from getting soggy. In contrast, the bulgogi sandwich was very wet and the bread felt more like a sponge at the end of my meal. The flavors were great but the sandwich itself was messy to eat. The service is great and they even gave us a cookie for each sandwich for free! It's a great place for a casual lunch. I'd definitely come back to try the other sandwiches.

The space is super clean and spacious, which made it really comfortable to hang out in. They also have a small shop inside, which was a nice touch and fun to browse while waiting for our drinks. The worker was incredibly nice and helpful, answering all our questions and making the experience feel really welcoming. We ordered the Black Sesame Hojicha Latte, Hojicha Einspanner, and Banana Pudding Matcha, and all of them were really good. The cream tops were especially thick and creamy, adding a rich, smooth texture to each drink. The Black Sesame Hojicha Latte had a nice nutty depth that paired really well with the roasted hojicha flavor. The Hojicha Einspanner was smooth and comforting, with that strong roasted tea flavor balanced by the creamy top. The Banana Pudding Matcha really surprised me. I usually don't like banana-flavored things, but as a banana flavor hater, this is honestly one of the best ones I've tried. It was creamy and well balanced, with the banana not being too overpowering and blending nicely with the matcha. Definitely a solid spot with good drinks, a clean and spacious space, and friendly service. Worth stopping by if you're café hopping in the area.
