Starbucks

I visited this Starbucks in the new atrium from the entrance way of Autodesk.
Clean store. Friendly staff members. Plenty of indoor seating and outdoor seating. Lots of choices for food and snacks — including these cool green tea gummy bears.
My order was taken quickly and made just as quick.
I saw a sign in the store that read: «Starbucks will plant a coffee tree for every bag of coffee purchased through 2016.» It’s definitely a nice gesture, but in my mind I’m thinking «Aren’t they going to plant those trees anyways regardless of whether we buy a bag of coffee or not? Nice marketing though…»
I love that there is a huge round table right in the middle of their store for a group of people to enjoy their coffee, or for strangers to make friends when sitting there together!

They never get my order right :(Whenever I come here I feel like I have to beg to make sure they heard what I said. never going back to this particular Starbucks.

This is one of the busiest locations in the financial district and customers should expect to receive professional treatment especially in this area. However, employees at this location does NOT care, mainly because they are too busy making drinks??? As a loyal Starbucks customer, I am glad I work around several Starbucks, and my co-​workers like this location particularly because we can comfortably sit in the food court. But does that mean I have to take these employees bad attitude? For the numerous times I was there, not ONE time the employee smiled and greeted me. I ordered, swiped my card and waited for my name to be called. This was a typical experience. Then few weeks back, the employee made my co-worker’s drink wrong, no apology, not a word, gave us the dirty look and made another drink. Second time was three weeks ago, I ordered a tall latte, charged me $ 3.65 instead of $ 2.95, by the way, if I have to name one thing about their customer service, I would say they are speedy in taking your orders and making your drinks, that includes swiping your card too fast for the wrong amount. I looked at my receipt and went back to the cashier. Again, no word, no apology, quickly took out a card board like orange coupon and threw it on the counter, I mean yes, did not even bother to hand it to me. I picked it up and read the content to find out it’s a free beverage coupon. WTF, she must think this will fix the problem and get me out of there. I want my $.70 back, and I am not here for a free ride. Then today, finally, it’s enough for me to have to write this review, this Mexican old lady in her 50s, I am pretty sure you will know who I am pointing to if you are a regular there. I ordered my routine latte and again, they were so fast at swiping my card and did not give me a chance to ask for a cup of hot water. I figured to just ask the lady who prepared my drink when she called my name. So, she did. I ran up there and without looking at me, she said «thank you». Yeah, whatever. I then asked her «can you please give me a cup of hot water?» This time, she raised up her head, at least she was looking at me in the eyes, I knew she was unwilling to do it, but wait a minute, before I was expecting an answer, she turned her body to pour another drink in the cup. Fine, I guess I would just have to wait after she is done with this drink. No, No, I am way wrong, she called the name of the person to pick up the drink, then gave me the dirty look and said «go ask the cashier». WTF, for a cup of water??? I know you had been making drinks all day, I know you must hate your job, but I can’t afford to have to pay $ 2.95 daily and start a day with her. Overall, this location has the worst customer service, ever. Most of their employees do not know how to smile at customers, with the Mexican lady being the worst of the worst. I am bringing my cup to the Starbucks on Spear and Howard. It’s a busy place, but employees are happier working there. I am pretty sure I am not the only person that feels this way about this location. I hope the management can make some improvement.

This is inside One Market which is home to Salesforce and a bunch of other companies. Pretty popular spot that gets crowded. If you get the chocolate croissant, ask them to heat it up for you, tastes much better that way.

Conveniently located as it’s just downstairs from my office. The servers are nice.
There is usually a bit of a line, so be prepared.

This is my go to place when I need a caffeine fix. In the morning, it’s really crowded so I usually avoid it. It gets better in the afternoon. The staff is friendly, never had any issues. They are pretty much only open during work hours.

This is the only Starbucks in the entire area that don’t offer refill on regular coffee. Epic Fail!!! Coffee lovers refrain…

It gets crowded in the a.m. but they’re very good at keeping tab on things and they’re very fast. Quick serve!

Cute Starbucks tucked inside the One Market building, you wouldn’t even know it was there unless you went inside and took a little peak around the corner. I usually come here and grab a cup of coffee before I head out to wait in line for the Farmers Market by the Ferry Building, since it’s usually windy and long. The staff here are friendly and super festive! Always dressing up to fit the holidays and have the decorations as well as spirit. The line gets long with the corporate world decides to unleash its hounds for a coffee break and it gets pretty noisy. I guess the staff gets used to the rush and tries their best to accommodated with the people and the drinks coming in. For the most part, my customized mistos always came out perfectly and extra hot, and the wifi has never let me down.
I like grabbing my drink and sitting on the marble outside the Starbucks where I can stare at the pianist and wonder about all the people working in their cubbies. They do take the iphone paying method, where they scan your phone so I can get my reward stars and free shots.
Good Starbucks, gets cramped when people start to line up for drinks, but it gets better once the people move on and clears out.
Good location. Good people and great view right outside. You can grab coffee as soon as you step off bart.

I love this location. They know what I want when walk up and it never takes more than a 5 minutes for my drink to get served. They keep the sugar/​milk area clean and the staff even though busy seem to be very friendly even if there is a line of 10+ staring at them. Also they make their iced white mocha’s very strong which keeps me going until clock out time.

often this location is used for training new baristas, so beware of that. The regular staff is friendly and they know what they are doing when making mistos, fraps or whatever.
One cool thing is that this location is near the food court so its convenient. Other than that its your normal SB plaza type storefront.

I love coming here only because I work close by. For a fidi Starbucks, they are quite slow in comparison to others down the street. In addition, their waiting area for made to order drinks and heated sammy’s is very peculiar. It’s right next to the ordering line so you can’t tell if people are waiting to order their drinks or picking up. They need to work on their inefficiencies.

Usually crowded when I stop by around 9:30am…but the line has never been more than 5 minutes long, since they are always well-​staffed. One nice thing about this Starbucks for regulars, is they will write your name on your coffee automatically once they get to know you and if you don’t change your drink order (which i still do alot…) then they add it to the queue before you order to speed things up.

Decent coffee joint
Located right next to the buildings food court
Lines long after lunch and before work

The people are great here and they totally remember you…=) oh plus i like to see my imaginary coffee boyfriend who works there lmao…

When my preschool teacher let me hold the class guinea pig, I got so excited I wet my pants.
So it doesn’t take much.
Enter: Starbucks VIP card. It’s black, offers 10% daily discounts on drinks and espresso crap to shove in your cupboard, earns you rewards, and looks cool. Sure, there’s a $ 25 annual fee, but if you’re a born-​again 3 cup a day gal like me, your discounts will add up. It functions as a gift card, too.
Since this location is at One Market, you can flirt with cute men in suits while standing in line.
To keep your toothy smile «flirt worthy,» you might want to ask for a lemon slice to wrap in a napkin and put in your purse. Some say rubbing a wedge against teeth after drinking will help prevent coffee stains.
Give it a shot. Unless your power breakfast consists of black coffee and a couple ciggies… in which case you might need to ask for an entire lemon.

The first thing I saw as I entered the Bayside Cuisines food court from the interior of One Market Plaza was Starbucks. The floor tile and the shift in ceiling height designated the entry area as store territory, which one had to walk through to get to the rest of the food court.
After cruising all the food court restaurants, I found myself back at Starbucks. While the food court was loud and busy, Starbucks was calm and serene. Looking over the display, I found that they had salads and sandwiches! I could eat lunch right here!
I bought a pasta chopped salad and a tall nonfat latte for about $ 8. The salad had just one leaf of lettuce in it (yay!) and lots of meat, cheese, olives, and shell-​roni. The meats included salami and chopped chicken breast. Delicious!
And the hot blonde cashier turned out to be a barista, too!

Their set up is wack. You don’t know where youre supposed to stand unless there is someone in front of you… and even then another line forms and either a ‘barista’ is yelling for you to come over as if you did something wrong, or someone else gets in front of you, and you’re annoyed cuz hello, who was there first?!?
Anyway, had an Tazo passion fruit iced tea that was essentially red water… and on another occasion tried the iced Green tea frap. A cup of POWDERY NASTINESS. It literally gave me a headache. And this is from someone that NEVER gets sick.

I think it depends on when you come and who makes yer drink. I had a class upstairs, so came here twice in the same morning.
The first time, the joint was ridiculously busy, and I ended up with a too-​hot, burnt-​tasting drink without the vanilla I’d ordered. The second time, it was much less crowded, and my drink was OK.
It’s not a location I’d go to again, unless I had to.

Two lines of chaos is what you will find at this Starbucks. Every time I am here, the staff always seem to give me the wrong drink with my name on it. The last time, my co-​worker and I had to wait an extra 5 minutes because they had forgotten her decaf order.
I only frequent because of the proximity of location which is why this store seems to always be chaotic.
