Starbucks

My favorite Starbucks in the area. Amazing staff (the regulars, not always the trainees), great atmosphere and patio and convenient parking. My only complaint is that the trash has to come out the front door when they take it which is disruptive and gross when it’s busy but it’s not really their fault that they don’t have a backdoor!

My favorite ‘bux! The staff is always nice and they work as fast as they can during peak hours. Mobile order and pay is also a great option when the line is long here.

Best coffee, made to order. Manager is very friendly and remembers us. My fav Starbucks!

No complaints here. This is a well-​executed establishment with friendly service and fast output. Parking can be a little packed during peak hours but it’s usually not a big deal. Good location + consistent product = happy Mike.

Probably the best Starbucks in the county. Never had a drink mix up and the crew is great.

Spur of the moment visit to starbucks needed a boost before I fed the animals, and I had the best cappuccino yet. A bit queer comment from the gal at the register about me sticking around for 15 minutes since I got my free refill as I work towards «Gold Status». I thought her comment was a bit dense and definitely a turn off since I had just gotten my cappuccino 15 minutes prior and sat down and read the paper. The barista overheard her and let her know that I had already been in the café’. But I won’t let her snip taint my positive vibes for this hangout. I’ll be back and hope to see the coffee police lady in a better mood?

This is the most neighborly place in Aptos! The crew is fantastic. They know your order when you walk in the door! You always feel like you’re among friends. They couldn’t be more a part of the community. Our Starbucks is totally local!
They have been so concerned about our friend who was in a horrific accident and got a card signed from them all for us to give to her. They can’t wait til she gets back to order her Trenta Black Unsweetened Iced Tea — Light Water, Light Ice!
Love these guys!

bottom line for tgis Starbucks is that they need to stop the chit chat about their personal life’s with each other an acknowledge their customers at least this goes with the eveing staff its getting really old fast an I really don’t want to have to drive to 41^st!!! your in customer service so please please make more of an effort to talk with customers an keep your side conversations more to a min.

Great location with a community vibe. Great mix of people passing through, staying to work, or meet friends. There are always a lot of families and friendly faces. Staff is always cheerful and accommodating. Good amount of tables and outlets, but can get busy at times. I love how early they open and how cozy the place feels before sunrise.

This is a pretty cool Starbucks, near the ocean, nice seating inside and out, cool little parking lot. Great spot to catch up on some work and wait for some work to pop up! Nice staff too!

I was in desperate need for a Starbucks fix and just missed my opportunity to stop in Freedom. This store is located on the back side of a small strip mall with easy access to jump off the freeway and a quick jog gets you right back on the freeway.
This place was really busy mid afternoon on Monday but the staff was very friendly and efficient. Great outdoor seating area in the rear right off the parking area.
I don’t how long this store has been open but it was really clean and everything was as you would expect at Starbucks plenty of seating and great products. I didn’t try the wifi but there were several customers on their laptops and tablets.

This is a very busy location but I was up this way on an impromptu road trip and had that chai craving and looked locations up on my trusty Starbucks app and this was the closest. I needed to go pick up my free drink, I have earned a bunch lately and wanted to cash in! The seating was fairly busy and my cell phone charger in my car on the way down here died so I was dangerously low and my free drink is on my phone! So luckily there wasn’t too long of a line. I was able to squeeze in between two nice fellas and use the plug for awhile so I could juice up with my wall charger while I juiced up with my chai tea. The line stayed steady and they had lots of bikers enjoying the outside seating. I charged up to a safe level then got a free refill of iced tea and headed out to check in to a hotel. Nice location for a pit stop and there was even a few little shops nearby to take a peek in on while here in the parking lot. They do get a little backed up on orders when busy, there were two waves I experienced while there and they were out of something I heard so that made a little bit of a back up with people giving alternate orders after they found out.

Love Starbucks and the pastries. Workers in this location are very friendly. I only gave it a 3 star because I travel a lot and anyplace else but, here drinks come out extremely fast! One day I waited almost 10 minutes for a drink. Other locations have 4 times the customers and push out drinks in a quarter to half the time. I just don’t get why here it is so slow???

Staff is friendly, efficient, and precise! They get my order right! I LOVE the outdoor seating, my dog can sit with me while I work from their wifi until mine gets installed.

Everything I order is BURNT!

I’ve always really enjoyed the location and staff of this Starbucks. Its my go to :)

When I’m in Aptos, I come here in the morning for my latte and an oatmeal cookie. What can i say, I’m a Starbucks fan.

Never do you wish to goto morning coffee to prepare for a long day, only to but frustrated beyond any level of patience at a Starbucks. I just wasted another 30 minutes getting a venti mocha while second in line. I have driven 10 minutes to avoid this local Starbucks for years, but occasionally I forget and have the same terrible experience.
The poor staff has the slowest people at the quickest points to bottleneck, and those people are also in love with chatting up every elderly couple that rolls in, or their children, or their grandchildren. They take friendly to a bizarre place — taking 10 minutes to slowly go through an order with a customer, only to spend 10 more with the barista who stops her work to pay attention to the jabber.
It’s kinda like spending the morning with my nagging Jewish mom 3 days after her flight home was missed and now she feels like staying an extra week.

Sympatiques et polis, wifi gratuite et bien placé au centre de ce village.

Its starbux and im just not of fan of the superficial bs, but for a SB, its cute clean quick and comfy enough. Some staff are friendlier and more helpful than ithers but like i said … Its just SB. Best SB I’ve been to.

Review update: July 12 2012
Unfortunately, all of the «regular» staff is now gone, and they have hired nothing but rude, inexperienced knuckle heads.
The new staff doesn’t greet you, doesn’t get your order right, and you’re kind of rushed out now. A definite bummer, as I loved this Starbuck’s. I now go elsewhere.
