Starbucks - San Diego

My experience was great! I came in to order two drinks with my 3-year-old Malinois. We received fast service and a pup cup. Unfortunately, my dog got distracted and lunged into some bushes, causing me to drop one of my drinks. When I returned to the store, they remade the drink without question. The entire process was simple, fast, efficient, and without interrogation. I would highly recommend this place! Thanks, guys!

My experience at this Starbucks was disappointing. The service at the drive-thru was unfriendly, with the staff member on the speaker sounding like they hated their job. Furthermore, the drinks were not up to the usual Starbucks standards, which is a shame as consistency is what I usually appreciate about this chain.

Haven't been to this location for over a year. It was a VERY pleasant surprise at how much friendlier and efficient the staff are now! The drive-thru is heavily impacted, so avoid that at all costs. Inside is much faster, but the parking lot is small and you'll often be backing into the drive-up line, so take that into consideration. Amy was the barista: a lovely, pleasant, and efficient person ♡☆

As your next-door neighbor, SciEats, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are dedicated to making healthy, nutritious meals accessible to all through a sliding scale pricing model and community engagement. We aim to provide healthy options and education while respecting individual choices. We have encountered issues with Starbucks customers using our private parking lot, which is funded by donations. This occurs because Starbucks' own parking capacity is limited, leading to customers lining up on the street and sometimes using our lot. When we requested these customers to leave, some became physically and verbally abusive, using racist slurs and threatening deportation. Our primary concern is philosophical and health-oriented: why should donor money be diverted to support corporate profit? We also have practical concerns, as signs clearly indicate "Private Parking – Tow Away" and "No Trespassing, " yet some customers ignore them, reflecting poorly on their judgment and respect for others’ property. We approached Starbucks with two reasonable requests: to educate their customers not to use other private parking lots and to expand their parking capacity. Starbucks declined both, stating it is not their responsibility and that expansion is unaffordable. Therefore, we urge Starbucks customers to exercise common sense and respect our property. Please do not misuse SciEats’ donor-funded resources for corporate convenience. Let’s all make thoughtful choices that align with community values, health, and respect for others. Thank you for your understanding. — SciEats Team

My experience at this Starbucks was outstanding, largely due to the exceptional service provided by Cassidy. She was one of the nicest employees I've encountered, not only friendly but also very helpful, even suggesting a new coffee flavor for me to try at home. The entire team contributed to a welcoming atmosphere by greeting customers upon arrival and bidding them farewell. The store itself is clean, comfortable, and offers plenty of space.
