Employees here are very friendly and always seem to be working extra hard. It’s a tiny Starbucks in a prime location, sharing a large park lot with Vons(and their gas station), Jamba Juice, Togo’s, Payless, Sally’s Beauty Supply Store and L&L Hawaiian… so you should expect it to be pretty packed. The line gets really long in the AM before people take off to work, cools down a bit, then gets crazy busy again around 4PM. Don’t let the what seems to be endless line scare you away from coming here; the staff never fails to make my drinks just the way I like, and make sure to keep the line moving rather quickly. The only downside to this location is the lack of space :/It can get cramped in there with the long lines and folks waiting for their drinks. There’s hardly any seating indoors, but their patio is great — about 10 tables with umbrellas and plenty of chairs. Awesome for when the weather warms up, but today, I ran back inside after having all my napkins and papers(I’m attempting to do some homework) fly everywhere from the wind. I can walk here from my apartment, so as long as I have my headphones(warning-it’s super loud with all the blenders going, people chatting and the baristas yelling out names) to block out the noise inside, I love taking a stroll down here to grab some coffee and get my studying done.

Service was not one of the quickest during lunch time but the drinks are always very good… I tried the new flat white: espresso and steamed milk, and I sprinkled a little cinnamon ontop. I like the fact that there is a lot of outdoor seating at this Starbucks.

I have been going to this Starbucks since 2003… finally for the first time someone was rude for no apparent reason… I guess they ran out of Berry’s and we’re going to be replaced with Strawberrys, however the Barrista(Tori) wasn’t aware of it was basically rushing me to get the drinks off the bar. I asked about the berries and was told by the barrista they are out. The cashier told her about the replacement, by this time it had already been too long in waiting… I was late to get back to the hospital… All I ask is please communicate amongst each other so there are not awkward moments…

This is your average Starbucks. It’s located in an all too often busy shopping center and as a result it is also pretty busy, especially during peak shopping times. Service is always good but the wait can be a pain if you order the fancy stuff. I stick to a drip and go most times. I noticed they recently did a lil’ remodel. Added some indoor seating. None of those new phone chargers though. They’ve always had a nice sized out door seating area.

Never have a problem at this Starbucks location. Staff is friendly, fast and efficient. So far haven’t run out of ingredients like in Huntington Park(my home area).

I have started going here again cause the staff at the target one became very rude. They have extremely improved, the staff especially one girl is amazing! She is always cheerful remembers my name and my drink. They are no longer ignoring customers and keep a real steady pace to get you in and out! Thanks for improving!

I got to enjoy visiting the Grand Opening as a face painter with Dreamcatcher Entertainment. The staff was all friendly and attentive, and the outdoor ambiance is a fun change. Definitely stop by for some coffee!

Good friendly workers. Sure, the space is small, and it does get loud. But, you can never complain when there’s friendly workers. I love a Starbucks with happy workers.

It’s fine if you just want something to go. Poor location and the facility is too small to enjoy inside. People ordering are too close to tables to relax. They have several tables outside. However, it is next to a busy driveway, very noisy and rather windy. Some sort of wind/noise screen would help.

I ABSOLUTELY love the staff at this Starbucks location! They know me by name and ALWAYS get my order right and take the time to ask about my day! They go above and beyond to make sure their customers have a good experience! Even when they’re busy they give 200% of effort! Marquiz is my absolute favorite. Love ya boo!

Wow the new orange cream soda is really good! 1st time trying it and it was good. The cashier was helpful that if I didn’t like it that they would change it out.

Great location! The staff was awesome. i forgot one of the young lady’s name. She was so patient with me since I had to go back to my car and get my wallet since I didn’t have enough on my GC. Very clean inside and out. And my dipio was just right.

Its a hit or miss at this Starbucks! Sometimes the line moves fast, and sometimes its slower than hell. It really just depends on how much caffeine the workers consumed before their shift. Lol Baristas are nice and cashiers are efficient. No biggie, just another Starbucks.

This is where I come for a drink made right. They know how to make drinks just how you want it– not the same in other locations. Baristas are friendly– One guy’s voice is so loud, it seems as if he’s yelling– not cool. I always get black coffee, ice coffee The deli is okay if you’re starving and can’t stop anywhere else. I like the chicken panini.

Closest Starbucks from where I am. This Starbucks is really small only 3 small tables inside the store and a lot more seats outside. Always packed and there’s almost lines everytime you visit the store. I havent seen this girl lately, but theres a girl at the cashier and she does understand anything. Got my order wrong many times. But with my recent visits, I was satisfied. Parking can be hard but theres always spaces not too far from Starbucks.
