The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. I'm always greeted with a smile and there's always a great vibe. I had the lavender latte today which was pretty good but I didn't particularly care for the potato, cheddar and chive bake. It had a sort of chemical taste to it. Overall very clean and very chill Starbucks. read more

We love our drinks that he told us... he rocks thanks JP..... he truly shows that he care about customers more people like him... read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vista, California

I had such an awesome experience at this location! The staff were so kind and friendly. Their coffee machine was down and they helped suggest the best substitute and made sure it was customize to my liking and allergy request. They had a great space for working. Although the only challenge was the music was exceptionally loud, but great classics! I would definitely recommend and suggest this location. read more

I bring coffee in to my offices for work, I try to stop by this location as often as possible. The staff is always so friendly, especially Wilmer, who brightens my day with his positive attitude. Great service, coffees are always right, and the drive through is also super convenient. read more

On the afternoon of 2/1/26, I paid $0.50 for caramel crunch topping inside my frap & the barista did not include it. I DO NOT APPRECIATE PAYING EXTRA FOR STUFF I AM NOT RECEIVING. It's really not difficult to read the printed label on a mobile order. read more

I'm literally walking distance from here they are always a joy to walk into the staff is awesomeness. They go out of their way to get to know you . excellent customer service, on occasion you can see them singing and dancing to the latest tunes filling orders . And they work good together. Ohh btw try the pesto egg sandwich Keep up the good work guys. I may have to get a second job to support my Starbucks addiction but it and you guys are worth every cent read more

I don't love Starbucks and believe as a corporation they suck @$$ however I love my local community members who are employed by Starbucks at this location and give me the creamy brown sludge that fuels my mornings and keeps me from attacking everyone on my commute to work. Again Starbucks as a company can lick mine and all their underpaid workers boots because they suck as a whole company and I would love to see them go backrupt and a small locally owned coffee shop pop up in this (and all) location instead. Over all this location is convenient and I love the people who work here which is the only reason it gets a good review! But... Starbucks just happens to be the chain brand in this case that gets my money but I have no loyalty to them and again I do want to see Starbucks as a company fail and for the employees to become successful running their own independent coffee shops where they can implement the things that would allow them to thrive outside of corporate greed. read more

Dirty and very loud (happy music) music. Also, the dirtiest bathroom I have seen in a Starbucks at 10 in the morning. This place has been here for a few years but seems to have been destroyed by the constant crowd that pushes through. This place seems to always be very busy. I had ordered twice the egg bites, once while waiting for my ride to pick me up, and again once my ride arrived. Both times I had to ask for a fork. The service person from behind the counter didn't even know where to find them and another employee pointed over in the area behind the ordering counter near the heating oven. It seems that a fork was to have been given with the hot order at the time it was placed on the counter. Nope, I had to get someone's attention in the busy place for a fork both times. And while waiting, I got to experience the filthy restroom. I will be back because I take my car for servicing across the street. But next time, please don't chase me out with exceptionally loud (but happy) music. Dicks read more

Starbucks - A crumbled bag - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vista, California

We are avid Starbucks goers, and this morning 11/15; we were served drinks WAY too hot. Burning our mouths. We suggest the barista use a temperature gauge and not go above standard temps. Very disappointing from our local Starbucks. read more

Why is the music so loud at this store?? It feels like a club in here. I can feel the table shaking with the bass. Please have some consideration for your clientele. It is uncomfortably loud. read more

Ordered a cappuccino and got some hot Americano water with milk. Kind of a milk dump. Maybe it's a latte? The whole planet knows what a cappuccino is and this is not one. If you cannot sell a cappuccino then just don't put it on the menu. read more

I just called and spoke to Janet their Starbuck's manager. Janet said they don't have (outdoor seating at this location) because they have (limited space) in front of their Starbuck's Coffee Shop. Janet also said they do have (mobile online ordering) and (mobile pay service). Janet also told me to call the Starbuck's Coffee location on East Vista Way since that location has a (bigger patio area) where their customers can sit outside and drink their coffee. My closest location is at the College Boulevard area in Oceanside I will just go there instead. At least Janet did give me some options to chose from and that is good customer service. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vista, California

They are always out of menu items. Can we become menu compliance ? This was my 3rd time getting disappointed.

The employees this morning (see photo) are the BEST! They found a way of turning the simple act of ordering coffee into getting a dose of dopamine to start your day. Talk about setting the standard for customer service. I want to come here every morning before work just to place an order now. Creative, fun, happy (w/o being annoying or fake), nice... Starbucks hold onto them! read more

Starbucks - Super nice and happy Starbucks employees! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vista, California

This location has a high turn over of staff and due to that the drinks are never the same. I don't like giving poor reviews but my drinks have been incorrectly made one too many times. My drink is super simple and even then this was the third time of it being made incorrectly. I get an Earl grey with oat milk and I've had it made without the oat milk twice and this last time it was made with syrup which would be the London fog. read more

I'm bummed to have to say I'm disappointed in this location. I've been coming here for a while and I get the exact same drink each time. My order varies so much depending on which person makes it. I can come here every single day and each day my drink will be wildly different. Let me explain my order before you think I'm petty. I get an iced blonde Americano with a light splash of cream and three pumps of vanilla. Wordy? Maybe. Complicated? I don't believe so, but maybe it is. Before, I used to ask for light cream, but then my drink would be all cream and I felt like I was wasting my money. Once or twice I asked them to remake my drink because it was all cream and then finally I asked someone (who told me she's a manager) what the proper way to ask for my drink is since I end up with a drink drowning in cream. She said to ask for a light splash of cream instead of light cream. Okay, so I changed my wording because I wanted to make sure I did my part in being clear. Sometimes, this would work and sometimes it wouldn't (again, depending on the person making it). Today, I asked for a light splash of cream again and my drink was all cream. The nice woman at the window asked me if I'd like to have the drink remade, but I had to go to work and said no thank you. Honestly, I'd have to have my drink remade often and I don't want to be that person. I keep wanting to give them a chance and I like most of the people I have encountered here. I wish there was a bit more consistency in how drinks are made. I have to decide if it's worth going to this location again. Check out the picture of what the drink looks like. It's pretty light which means there is too much cream. A blonde Americano with a light splash of cream should be darker than this and certainly shouldn't taste like straight cream. This isn't a one time occurrence either. read more

Starbucks - My order does say light splash of cream (lt spl cream), but it was straight cream. This has happened multiple times. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vista, California

Drinks were super watered down and had hardly any dried fruit, worst starbucks stop waist of money. Could not drink it. Got off the car into the store to see if i could get the drinks fixed and they had excuses and added a but juice but thats all, and the floor was super super dirty!!! Maibe cuz they only had 2 poor employees working alone? Idk never stopping at this location again. read more

Starbucks - Watered down and like 4 tiny pieces of dried dragon fruit very sad drinks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vista, California

This place is unbelievable .. there's only like ONE kind person working here. I ordered 2 tea's and a cheese danish. I waited for 15 minutes, no sign of the tea and only was handed the cheese danish. I got up to ask where my tea is after 15 minutes and they completely forgot about it and started working on it once I asked about it.. and because I waited so long, I asked if I could have my cheese danish re-warmed .. the girl warmed it up again and then walked back and TOSSED the cheese danish on the pick up table.. literally Tossed it. I was in complete shock with how rude and disrespectful she was. I'm going to make sure my friends know not to go to this location. read more

Love this Starbucks! Everyone is always working hard while still keeping spirits up! Every time I go, it's pretty busy, but my drink is always made right and they always have the food items I like. I love the mobile order option, it's such a timesaver! Usual order: grande iced caramel macchiato with oat milk, light ice, extra caramel drizzle and the cup lined WITTTTTHHH either a double-smoked bacon cheddar and egg sandwich (breakfast) or the cheese and fruit protein box (lunch). Love my Starbs!!! read more

Drink was great, quick, good service, and upbeat music. Can we just take a moment to show appreciation to those baristas that just make your day better?! JP was definitely it! I have never walked into a Starbucks and said I am going back just for the barista. He was an absolute vibe!!! read more

I've already cut down my Starbucks visits due to the quality of the drinks & price gouging the last few yrs. I used to go to the Starbucks on Melrose near Sycamore daily, but their Fraps are a hit or miss, more times a miss. I was not happy with the tiny muffin I received this morning, not even close to being the size or quality they used to be, but still charging the same.. guess it's time to stop giving this company my buisness if this is the direction they will be going. read more

Starbucks - What's the deal with the smaller muffins? But still charging the same amount. Not cool Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vista, California

This Starbucks drive-through is a must visit just to meet their barista named JP he has personality plus best customer service I've ever had at a Starbucks ever go visit this guy he'll entertain you and treat you like you're his favorite customer! Thanks for the refreshing treatment JP!!! read more

I come here often, line is decent and always goes by fast. I order my coffee with an extra shot because I need my crack, of course EVERYTIME I get my coffee there is never an extra shot in it. I even asked the girl at the window and she said yes. No Extra Shot. Lost faith in this star bucks, thanks for my free venti cup of ice water. read more

This Starbucks was the best I've ever been to!!! The staff was incredibly friendly and looked like they genuinely enjoyed working and were all very smiley and happy. They even brought my food out to me. The bathroom was very clean and spacious as well. I'm not from here but if I ever come back, Ill make sure to stop at this starbucks. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vista, California

I am appalled that the baristas use plastic cups and throw them away if you bring your own cup with you!! The entire purpose of bringing my own cup is to avoid a useless waste of plastic and they have metal containers to measure drinks so why on earth are they throwing away plastic when they encourage you to use your own cup with signs everywhere?! I need to call the manager at this place, it's so needlessly wasteful. I won't be coming here again. Oh and they are insanely slow in addition to being wasteful. read more

I have never been the biggest fan of Starbucks, I have always preferred one of their closest international rivals: Costa. That said, I tolerate Starbucks for its convenience and for that quick pick-me-up before I go on duty. This Starbucks, unfortunately, was the worst I have ever been to in the world, easily! Their employees are lacklustre, tardy and unprofessional. If you dare to glance behind the counter, cleanliness is not one of their strongest features and once you try one of their coffees (supposedly to Starbucks-standard regulations) it tastes worse than any Starbucks I have ever been to! I thought it might have been a one-off, every business can have an off-day once in a while... I have been here several times due to it's convenient location and almost every time I have been disappointed! Needless to say, I now go out of my way for my quick-coffees and steer well clear of this place! If you can't taste anything and you have no qualms about who is serving your coffee of what standards they are held to... this is the one for you! read more

I don't leave reviews often, I had a great experience going through the drive thru. JP brightened up my morning and I really appreciated it. Thank you JP read more

I go to this location a lot and I really like how they make their iced coffee. It doesn't taste burnt like a bunch of other locations. Knocking of a couple stars because this happened: This morning I went inside to order a spinach feta egg white wrap to go. It came out super quick so I left and started driving to work and I planned to eat the wrap at work. About 10 minutes down the freeway I took a peek inside the bag and saw that it was a bagel, not a spinach feta egg white wrap. I wasn't super disappointed until I realized that it didn't come with cream cheese. I literally had to stop by Vons to get cream cheese because I didn't want to eat a dry bagel. See pictures! read more

Starbucks - Since when did spinach feta egg white wraps become dry bagels?! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vista, California

See all

The vibe is off when the manager, Meagan, is there. I've seen her reprimanding partners on the floor in front of other partners and customers. Not only that, but her thinly-veiled passive aggressive comments toward partners was off-putting. The other baristas there seem more than pleasant, but if that's how the manager is acting when there're customers in the cafe, I wouldn't be surprised if there's more stuff going on in store that customers can't see. It's unfortunate to see such personable baristas being managed by such a mediocre manager. read more

This location has no business taking mobile orders when there is a long line in the drive thru. It took 25 minutes in the drive thru, and our coffee were cold. Yet, other Starbucks locations turn off mobile orders when they have like 2 customers. Very inconsistent and incompetent! And, the customer should have to ask for a straw every time, just give the straw. read more

I've been to so many Starbucks, some have been okay customer service but there is a guy by the name of JP (I asked for his name) he is the one on the speaker of the drive thru that will say something along like "what can I get for you today, oh that's awesome tell me more!" And he ends his order with "you are amazing get over here for your order!" But in such a way that makes me laugh in the morning, makes want to go to Starbucks just to hear him cheer me up, and helps me start my day with a good laugh. He has the best customer service I've ever experienced in my life. JP could really work in any industry with that personality of his. I look forward to him attending my orders on the other side of the speaker everyday. Thank you JP for brightening my day! I appreciate you. My new favorite Starbucks to go to. read more

The drink quality is usually good. I go here often, so that's not the problem. The problem is that they operate on some schedule known only to them. Even though everything online will tell you they're open until 8/8:30 most days, that's not guaranteed. I live relatively close by and I see them closed on some unpredictable basis. I walked up once to find the lobby closed for training but drive through open, but I was on foot so that wasn't an option. I didn't bother getting explanations for the last three times they were randomly closed. I like the workers and I think they're doing a great job so no slight to them, it's just annoying to drive or walk all the way to this location just to find them closed for one reason or another. It's an inconvenient and unreliable location when it comes to hours so use this info as you will. read more

This is the closest Starbucks to my house and not every time but most times when me or my husband go the staff is plain rude, normally we just say whatever and move on but what got me this time was we decided to go later at night around 7:30-8 but saw they closed at 9 so we should've been fine we walked up and saw one employee and one other person who didn't look like an employee but possibly a friend sitting inside and tried to open the doors to see they were locked we looked at the sign which said they closed at 9 and as we tried to open it again the two individuals just stared at us and laughed, as they proceeded to do with two others who tried to walk up and go inside. I guess this location just has lazy and rude staff. read more
