Starbucks

So slow, workers are rude. Especially the one usually making the drinks. Skip this store if possible.

I’ve seen the positive reviews in years gone by. Unfortunately, the latest not so positive reviews are true. I’m not sure who the franchise owner is. But he must not care about customer service. He or she should reply back to the unhappy comments and apologize to them. Possibly rectify some of the complaints. I always believe how a business is ran like how the owners are. Pretty sorry statement. Corporate Starbucks should have a conversation with the owner. It just makes their product look bad

Been going to this place like forever. Great atmosphere to just sit and do work and have specialty coffee and pastries. And the frap is great and the free wifi did not hurt. Compare to other Starbucks, it is very spacious so your not feeling crowded.

This is my ONLY Starbucks destination, which is saying so much seeing as there is another across the street in the Safeway and seemingly more and more on every corner. Ok ok, I go across to the Safeway one sometimes but only if the line is out the door, and it feels wrong every time!
I come here (I feel like this is a ‘meeting’ confession?) upwards of 2 – 4 times daily, certainly at least once a day. The baristas are all amazing, and the manager Kimber keeps an incredibly clean and organized establishment.
I have Celiac’s, and as any gluten-​intolerant person soon discovers– Starbucks is like the black hole of gluten safety. Everyone asks, no-​one knows.
So ordering after my diagnosis was a bit scary, but they have let me look over the back of possibly every syrup bottle in that establishment, and help to guide me the best they can.
I stick to a skinny vanilla latte, or sometimes with skinny caramel syrup.
With my obvious addiction problem, I feel I can be a great gauge to this place’s service on a consistency basis– they are always friendly, drinks are always delicious and spot on, almost always VERY fast, and they recognize all of their regulars! Almost daily I see them greet 1 – 2 other people by first name basis.
Love this Starbucks! See you in about an hour! xx

My husband and I were in there on Saturday about 10 am. The long line was slow, all the counters were dirty, all trash containers were overflowing, and we had to wait over 20 minutes to finally get our order because it had been misplaced! Not a good experience. Go to Starbucks in Safeway.

This one takes forever to make your drink. Only 2 – 3 employees and it took 15 minutes for my green tea latte!!! No sense of urgency. 3^rd time here and consistently SLOW

This is the starbucks I go to if I have to I went once before I started a very early trip to LA, and the did not have there doors open yet even though I had checked, and they should have been open at that time. A second visit had me waiting by the register since all the employees where huddled by the takeout window talking I finally asked if I could order something one of the girls came over and took my order (apology for my wait and there rudeness would have been nice), and I got my 3.00 cup of ok coffee .
3^rd visit and hopefully the last ordered a coffee and the girl at the register gave them the wrong cup size. I spent about 5 minutes trying to get there attention to correct the mistake finally one of them came over, and I told her I paid for a larger size I had my receipt, however, she just removed the cup from my reach made me a new one… as usual this location never offers an apology.

Im a fan of Starbucks, I know their coffee and other beverages are overly priced; however, this location is just unbelievably packed. It’s as if it’s the only location in town. I can’t say the sevice is slow because it’s not. But with all the drinks they have to make, adding more staff would not be a bad thing. My recomendaton to avoid the morning rush is to come in after eight am. If you can that is

Great place. Just down the street from my house so great location. Go here often enough that the employees know me and my drink. Great that they remember. Kinda crowded though. But good.

One of my favorite places to go. I am there everyday to get a coffee. Staffs are so awesome and always welcoming. Will be going there everyday!!!

This is a great place to get a caffeine fix.

Fast and friendly service! Love this Starbucks location. Love my skinny vanilla latte to warm me up on those cold mornings, and very berry hibiscus for those warm days. Very close to the gas station and grocery store. Feels comfy in there, too! :)

This is my FAVORITE Starbucks. I live In Monterey, used to live in Marina and work in Salinas, so it is safe to say I have been to every Starbucks on the Peninsula.
Let’s be honest… I make Starbucks brand coffee at home every morning, yet I still make a stop here most days.
The staff is just SO DARN FRIENDLY! I love them all, as well as some of the regular customers who always have a smile and a warm greeting to offer. I feel like everyone knows me there (most likely an indication that I go too often) & I think they are all super amazing!
Plus a few of the girls, namely Barbara will listen to me go on & on about Doctor Who and Harry Potter, so I especially love them for that.
Thanks for making my mornings & many times afternoons awesome guys!

Love, love, LOVE this Starbucks! I make a weekly visit after work when I gas up at the Safeway station next door. The staff is super friendly; always greeted with a smile. Not to mention my usual Venti iced coffee w/​milk is made perfectly every time. Makes me happy :)

I frequent this location when visiting my family who live in the area. I love this location. First of all, I’m from the Midwest and its cold so I always love sitting outside enjoying the beautiful November weather. For you Californians that think it’s cold — come to Chicago in November. Now, that’s cold.
Anyway, this location is warm and inviting. The employees are super friendly and the drinks I have ordered have always been made correctly. Also, look up when you are ordering. The architecture on the ceiling looks pretty cool.
The only downside with this location is that it is somewhat small so can get a little crowded at times.

This Starbucks has a very nice layout with a lot of seating. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They go above and beyond to make sure that the drinks come out the way you want them.

Friendliest staff in Salas…
I would prefer to support local coffee shops, but I love the fact that u can walk into any Starbucks and have confidence that ur order will stifle ur espresso craving!
You HAVE to download the Starbucks app. Hook in a giftcard and earn rewards!!! SO much fun!!!

This is a chill little Starbucks. It seems pretty busy all the time. There are always tons of cops on their breaks (I hope) here. It’s clean and the workers are fast so the wait is never long. BTW, try the Salted Caramel Frap and Latte while it’s still available.

This Buckies is attractive but seating is a bit odd.

I like it here. I should probably come study here more often. It’s in the good town of Salinas, very close to the crib I’m staying at for the time being.
We snuck out for a coffee break during downtime today.
Came here with my colleague and superiors. It’s always nice when they treat you out right?
Got to try their pumpkin, marble, and lemon bread along with a cup of java chip frap. I’m pretty content now and it’s lunch time. Perhaps I should go find something so that I can make the drive back to my hometown tonight.
