One of the best st Starbucks. This one has a 24hr drive through. Its great when you need some coffee or snacks all hours of the night or day. The inside has tons of seating and there is a huge parking lot near by. Sometimes the drive through can get real busy and form a line past the gas station next door. There are several restrooms for customers. The staff here has always been helpful.

Well normally its a great experience but they must have a new cash policy because when taking cash I was told were not rich like you and I had to pay with my card !, Real rude so be aware of this when visiting the establishment everyone incase your cash heavy!, Be well !

Wow! I ordered the eggs & cheddar protein box. The grapes were all shriveled up & gross. Omg. Never happened before. London Fog Tea was fine though.

I love having this Starbucks near me. It is such a convenience to have it be a 24 hour coffee shop. Ive been to it in the middle of the night after a long trip. Everyone is always nice, pleasant, and I know I can be specific with my order and they never fail to please!

Walk into a store full of employees wearing masks. Like are you all sick? So I ask if anyone is sick. Lol the little girl did not like my question. I am not ever coming back to these sick people. I did not order food because of this. And there was only one choice for dark coffee.

I ordered a couple of drinks, but ran back out to the parking lot to work on my truck. It was a busy time inside, so I thought I had a little time, in which to finish and get back in. Next thing I knew, the Starbucks employee Dennis, actually hand delivered the two drinks to me at my truck. (Btw, I wasn’t parked close, but I was in the line of sight.) I was surprised and appreciated that he went out of his way. Great customer service!!!

Do not go here. Horrible drinks & horrible customer service. I used to love this place right by my house but I would rather drive futher if it means I get the correct drink. Multiple times Ive been given a Venti thats not full; they say it melts because the drink it hot but yet theres never problems at other locations. Another time, they gave me the wrong drink, the woman on the phone told me to come but I couldnt come back at the moment & she said Well I cant really do anything about it over the phone. She told me I could go back the next day for my free one which technically isnt free if I never got what I paid for...

I frequent this store often because it’s on my way to work. I would like to keep coming here but a few nights ago I had to wait a good 25 minutes for the lady to finish showing her tattoos to the customer that was ahead of me and my co-worker are no longer welcome to this store because of bad costumer service. I would never tell anyone that they’re not welcome at my store. Very bad customer service and slow with getting our cold brewed coffee. Need to bring back miss aloha.

Could write a sonnet about this Bux. Most charming staff evvvverrr (Mahalo!). Do yourself a favor and bring some cash to tip them what they deserve and prepare for them to make your day, and beverage.

Update 28 Nov 2023.About half a year has passed since my last visit to this location, but it seems the management still struggles with basic organization. On my recent visit on a Tuesday morning, November 28th, I was surprised to find the lobby closed off at 0750 AM. An employee, somewhat apologetically, mentioned a shortage of staffing as the reason for this.The issue with staffing appears to be a recurring theme at this particular location, rather than an occasional mishap. Each visit, including this one, seems to reveal a new aspect of what could only be described as chronic mismanagement. The impact of this is clearly seen; customers are left confused and employees seem to be under constant pressureWhile I understand that staffing can be challenging, the consistent nature of these problems at this particular location suggests a deeper issue with planning and management. Its disappointing to see such a pattern of oversight, especially as if affects both the customer experience and staffs work environment.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Management needs to find a different way to handle busy days because the current solution of forcing everyone to use the drive-through and kicking out customers already in the lobby is not acceptable for several reasons:1. Changing store hours without advance notice is unprofessional and can harm the business. Customers depend on consistent operating hours, and unexpected changes can disrupt their plans and undermine their trust in the store.2. The refill policy is affected when customers are suddenly forced to leave the store. Many people come to the store specifically to take advantage of this policy, and not allowing them to do is a breach of this policyCorporate should examine the way store management handles busy days. This problematic approach was first observed around April/May 2022, and even during a recent visit in June 2023, the same procedure was still in place.There has to be a better way than this.

I always ask for no fruit inclusion in my daughters Strawberry açai, but they still put it in. She has sensory issues and the pieces of fruit feel weird in her mouth. Theyve gotten it right three times in all the years weve gone there. Honestly, no other Starbucks makes good drinks like this place. Everywhere else is watered down or the beans are burnt, in some places, the drinks are too sweet. I wish they would get that one little thing right. My daughter hates the fruit pieces. They are very nice though.

I miss these baristas dearly!! Been a Starbucks customer for 18+ years and this is by far my favorite location! They were always so so warm and welcoming. Every single one of them. Definitely make you feel like a valued customer. Might sound silly but they got me through some of my darkest days and they didn’t even know it. Thank you!!!

24 hour drive thru location is usually accompanied with a long line. But it seems that this locations best quality is the way it serves its customers quality products with rapid speeds. A line of 10 cars only took them 10 minutes to work thru. I only get Fraps here and so far they have always been top notch tasty critters.

Updating my review. I love this Starbucks but I arrived at 8pm tonight (8/29) and the doors were locked. The drive thru was open but the dining area was closed. The sign states that the dining area is open until 12am. There was no sign stating that they were closing early. Since I rode my bike, I couldnt go through the drive thru. I dont know why you closed 4 hours earlier but you might want to change your hours or put up signs.

As someone who frequents this cafe regularly as a place to get some work done, I have observed it to be an extremely inconsistent cafe that caters far more to the drive through than the lobby.Some employees outshine others, but in general this location is one of the least welcoming, least friendly, and least clean in the area (ie clean your own table).Ive visited the lobby of this location several days a week each week this summer and have yet to be acknowledged by name, let alone as a repeat customer. Perhaps its because I order via the app and wait while my order is prepared, which I find far more convenient than listing my drink preferences at the counter only for them to come out wrong.But waiting for mobile orders is also an issue because you can literally be standing there waiting for your order and an employee will silently place it down behind the counter and walk away. Calling out names for orders here is extremely inconsistent.After discovering a few times that my order has been sitting on the counter for several minutes (kind of an issue if you want your drink hot or cold), Ive personally requested to multiple people that they please call my name when my order is ready. This request has yet to be fulfilled.I have also observed that customers are, more often than not, ignored upon entering or worse, ignored while waiting at the cash register for so long that people have to yell, Is anyone there? Some just leave. Maybe they just go through the drive through where they will get better service.This location has at several times closed the lobby on weekends in the early afternoon because someone called in sick. This happens with such frequency that it seems deliberate.Like I said in the beginning, there are some employees here that are friendly, welcoming, and helpful, but overall, the culture of this location for whatever reason, just isnt up to the standards of other locations in North county. And yet I still come here to enjoy a beverage and get some work done because it is conveniently located. But thats the only reason.*This review comes after another poor in-café experience at this location which is in stark contrast to a visit to another location over the weekend.Although busy with drive through and in-store customers, that other location provided friendly and welcoming service at the counter (to everyone) and later with employees coming around to clean and ask if they can get anyone seated in the cafe anything (water, refill, etc). Followed by a thanks for coming, have a great night when leaving. It was a place I look forward to visiting again.

This Starbucks is an awesome layout for drive thru productiveness! And I walked in for my coffee. The staff was so nice. Someone came in to pick up their app order, and I was mesmerized by the appearance. It looked so good. I asked what the order was and the staff looked it up to make sure on the register then 2 members offered to make me a sample! I didnt ask (I didnt know samples existed!!?!). So without saying, yes and thank u, they whipped up the cutest mini cup. You should definitely drop in at this Starbucks.

First time in that location. I had a business meeting, the place was very loud, not conducive to conversation and I would describe the atmosphere and decor as industrial at best

This location is my favorite. The staff is so nice and friendly. The mocha I get is always very consistent. Sometimes I go to a different Starbucks and it tastes weird. They also have a drive-through, and sometimes yes there may be a line but they get you through pretty quickly and efficiently.

Accessibility: there is a drive through here, accessible/handicap parking in front of the building with a ramp to get onto the sidewalk there, and seating inside.Experience: this has been one of the faster Starbucks Drive throughs I have been through. The employees are super kind, coffee always good.

This has become my go to Starbucks location. My drink is always and I mean always made right. There’s been couple times where I do mobile and it hasn’t been ready but their customer service makes up for it. I’ve always dealt with friendly baristas, they’re all pleasant.

I love the coffee here and the people are nice. But my last two orders were messed up. I ordered decaf and got regular, which could be bad because while I love coffee, I am sensitive to caffeine. One time I had to wait 20 minutes in line, but on that occasion they gave me a credit.

Review №35

2021-11-09 05:33:57

I asked for a recommendation for a drink after they ran out of ingredients for a vanilla bean, I got no disappointment there. Also the girl at the counter was very friendly. I just regret not getting her name to give her credit. Also the place was spotless clean.

This Starbucks is the best one in San Marcos. Of course they get some stuff wrong here and there, but overall they do it better. If something is wrong with your drink, or they got it wrong, just tell them and they are nice about it.Update: Its 2022 and they have been following all COVID19 protocols since March 2020. I always feel safe going in there, sometimes they are short staffed which changes their hours so check the App.

Went by early this morning because we heard that they were open 24 hours a day. There was a long wait, which is fine because it was nice they were open.However, my wifes coffee drink was made poorly. Her Iced Caramel Macchiato with extra Caramel, light ice actually seemed like light caramel....and coffee! She needed to get to work, so we didnt go back to get it fixed. At this point, shes scratching this location off her list of Starbucks.

The crew at this location has top notch customer service skills. They are personable and knowledgeable about their products. Even when they have new employees, they seem to fit right in. Possible the best starbucks I have ever been to.

We traveled from Fallbrook to the 24 hour San Marcos location. After a staff had answered a call we made and, said they would be closing at 10 pm. My family and I showed up at 8:40 pm, and they said that they were closed.

This review is an experience I received while claiming for a free coffee refill from their rewards program! I showed the order taker that on their mobile app, in it, it indicates that as part of being a reward member, you are allowed free refills! But the order taker wanted me to use my reward points for the supposedly free refill. At the end I told her I did not want to used up my points, just, yet and ended up just paying for it! I guess at this store, there is a lack of training because the rewards program after researching it a bit is supposed to give their members free coffee refills...

Review №42

2017-01-25 21:01:42

This store is always busy, it seems like it always takes forever to get my drink regardless if I go inside or go through the drive thru. They dont keep the bars I like in stock regularly so Ive switched to a different store. The baristas are awesome though - they are always smiling so the vibe is good.

Review №43

2021-08-18 11:01:34

They seem to never have regular hours. They say they are open 24 hours but you never know when they will be open. Half the time there is a sign blocking the drive thru or mobile ordering is off when they are open or I order using the mobile app and get here and they are unexpectedly close. It’s very frustrating. I now have to go to work and come back later for my mobile order.

Review №44

2019-08-24 22:28:47

One of our regular coffee spots. Theres often a line of cars, but the baristas keep it moving. Theyre always upbeat, courteous and provide good customer service. If you go inside its a very comfortable space with a nice bookstore cafe feel.

The crew here are efficient and friendly. Drive through line moves quickly most of the time. Due to its location the drive through line can be a bit long, but they really do their best to move it along. Inside is comfy and clean.

Horrible experience with your drive through employee every time she’s at the window. Beyond rude. I won’t be embarrassing her by name on this review but will be taking this higher up.

Awesome service that is quick and friendly.Their drive thru was lined up when I walked in and they still got my order correct and quickly.Parking situation is tight so just park a couple rows over and walk.They have a big variety in the food cabinet and everything was in stock.

Did a mobile order for a faster pick up since there is always a huge line on the drive thru. When I arrived to pick up my order, door was closed and was told I needed to pick up through the drive thru. I have always ordered at this store since its close to my job, and I have never been asked to pick up through the drive thru. I called the store to cancel my order and get a refund. The guy on the phone told me I could go to any Starbucks and ask for my drink to be made since I didnt end up picking it up at their store. Called the Starbucks store located on 125 South Las Posas Rd. Ste 131 San Marcos, to make sure they were open for mobile order pick up, not through the drive thru, and they said yes. Explained to them what had happened at this Starbucks and what the guy told me, that I could ask for my drink to be made. The girl told me that was not true. That since I had already paid another Starbucks to make my drink and that I needed to pick up at that Starbucks only. Either these baristas are not informed correctly about mobile order pick ups. Also they need to update their mobile order pick up or else they will continue having upsetting clients that dont want to pick up through the drive thru.

I use to live down the hill from this Starbucks and I have never been disappointed, they make my drinks just how I like them (even when Im picky) I recently moved but I got a chance to stop by this store on my way home from a long day from work. Drive thru was the only thing open due to the virus and what not and when I was waiting in line I got cut off while waiting to have my order taken, when I got to the drive thru window I could not believe one of the barista girls had noticed what had happened and she was kind enough to pay for my drink! I was surprised they had noticed while being super busy! I honestly didnt say anything to the car because at the end of the day were all waiting in some type of line especially in times like these, but WOW I miss home and I cant express how these girls work hard and notice the little things. They made my day, I didnt get the name of the barista but if you see this... YOURE AWESOME!

Worst Starbucks in north county. They lie about what drinks they can and can’t make. If your drink takes long they’ll say they don’t make it. Skip this. Not worth the time.

Review №54

2018-05-14 02:29:55

Pretty typical Starbucks. The drive thru is a really bad spot and gets backed up really easily, blocking parking. The seats are basically all very hard uncomfortable chairs, and though there are a lot don’t expect many power plugs. Not a great lobby to sit in for long. Employees are nice enough.

This place is a nice, calm Starbucks with nice workers and nice people who go there. It also has a drive thru which is also very nice. There are no complaints or extraordinary things about this place. It is just an average Starbucks.

A great place to get real coffee that keeps you awake till 3 a.m. should you want to stay up that late I usually get a cup just before 6 p.m. which continues to go through my system till real late no other coffee out there seems to have the Boost of Starbucks coffee at Starbucks coffee houses I have tried buying other Starbucks Brands but it does not work like Starbucks from retail locations

This is probably the busiest Starbucks in north county San Diego. Right off the 78 freeway, this drive-thru coffee shop is bustling. Even with the high amount of traffic, they maintain the facilities well and provide good customer service and speed. Knowing someone whos worked here, it can be a grueling job for the batistas, so tip well and be extra courteous and kind to the staff.

I called before driving over there to inquire about a retail item. The batista who answered the phone was super friendly in letting me describe the item and she was even able to find it.

I asked questions to the crew member and I was not satisfied with the answered and also I waited too, too long in the drive through another day. In addition day they did not give me a promotional free hot chocolate when you get a new gift card. So I did not get it. And I was a little disappointed.

It has lots of sitting spaces. Its fairly clean and the service is pretty good considering they have a busy drive-thru. I go there to study. I wish they turned the musics volume just a notch down. Sometimes its unbearably loud. Other than that this place is great!

This used to be the place to go to because their lobby was open late. Now they still close their lobby 4 hours earlier is than they used to, if the lobby is even open on the day you show up.

This morning it took 2 mins to get my latte. That was fine, but it took almost 20 mins to get a classic oatmeal. The food guy is lame and does not pay attention to details I had to ask twice and I actually saw my oatmeal sitting there and had to ask them if that had my name on it! And sur enough it did. This is not the first or even second time this has happened. Going into this particular Starbucks is like watching a BAD Saturday Night skit done very poorly.

Ordered some food last night after a long shift and the batista dropped it on the floor before handing it to me and said it stayed in the bag. Sir, we are in the middle of a pandemic, i do not appreciate your lack of cross-contamination education. 🤢

Love this location for the drive thru, but it does get pretty backed up in the morning rush hour. The drive thru line then cuts awkwardly through the very small parking area shared by the Starbucks and Carls Jr.

Great customer service, theyre really nice and friendly here.. my only complaint is this Starbucks (like most) always has a bunch of people who think its really an office...I mean, its 2018...do people really not have Wi-Fi at home?

What a terrible service today! Drive-true not working and when you get in the store there is a bunch of employees looking at each other with no direction or inactive to help customers. Terrible service and terrible attitude from all employees. Worst experience of my life with any Starbucks

Atmosphere is always welcoming, the smells of coffee and treats hand in hand. One thing they could work on the flat white coffee. Stop giving us 1/2 foam and half coffee, it tastes like a watered down expresso with to much foam.

The usual great service you expect from Starbucks, and their drive thru is now open 24/7! Too much of a good thing? Quite possibly!

Review №99

2017-06-08 15:35:30

Great coffee and great employees just be ready to try to find a parking space away from the establishment when the drive thru is busy because the cars waiting to get coffee block all the spaces available and either you wait to get a parking space or you wait for everyone to move so you can get out of a parking space.

2022-10-12 18:05:32

I am tired of ordering a grande size and getting about 2/3 of the cup actually filled with coffee! It’s ridiculous to pay so much for a cup of coffee when they don’t even fill the cup!!!!
