Starbucks in Carlsbad

“Came in on 09/25 and was just going to get my basic black iced tea. I hadn’t had Starbucks in a year and Kevin was so patient with me and helped me decide on a drink that was AMAZING. He was super nice and patient, all around good energy. Great personality and great at drinks. Thank you Kevin! I’ve probably only been to Starbucks 5 times in the last two years but Kevin and the apple crisp nondairy chai I think have made me into a future regular.“

“I stopped by Starbucks in the morning to grab some breakfast and a coffee. One thing I immediately appreciated was the availability of parking—there were plenty of open spots, which made the visit hassle-free. Morning runs to Starbucks can sometimes be a hit or miss when it comes to crowd levels, but on this particular visit, I had a smooth experience.

For my order, I went with a Mocha Frappuccino and a Double-Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich. Right away, I was impressed with the service. The staff was friendly, efficient, and had my order ready quickly. It’s always nice to start the day with a positive interaction, and this Starbucks location delivered in that regard.

The Mocha Frappuccino was exactly what I was hoping for—creamy, rich, and indulgent with the perfect blend of coffee and chocolate flavors. Starbucks is known for its consistency with drinks, and this one did not disappoint. It was smooth, sweet, and a great pick-me-up.

As for the Double-Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich, it was decent but not my favorite. The flavor was good, with the smoky bacon adding a nice touch, but I found it a bit on the saltier side and a little drier than I prefer. Given that Starbucks doesn’t prepare its sandwiches fresh in-house, I didn’t have high expectations, but I was hoping for something a bit more balanced in texture. If you’re someone who enjoys a heartier, saltier breakfast option, this might be a solid choice for you.

Overall, this Starbucks visit was a success. The convenience, excellent service, and tasty drink made for a great start to the day. While the food isn’t necessarily the highlight, it’s still a reliable option when you need something quick. I’d definitely return for another coffee and maybe try a different breakfast item next time.“

“I love Starbucks and with covid-19 almost kind of gone kind of I'm weaning off the food stamps however you can't use your EBT card at any Starbucks but you can at this one because they're connected to the Vons grocery store so when I go in I don't do it all the time but when I go in and do my shopping I'll get myself a tall Pikes coffee so I can do my shopping and then I'm on my way and all you have to do is just swipe your EBT“

“I’m a regular at this Starbucks for several reasons. First and foremost the baristas are friendly and professional. They make my day!
Second my drink is always right and if I need something they always accommodate, and with a smile! They never make you feel like you’re asking too much.
Third the atmosphere at this Starbucks is always welcoming and comfortable. Paula the Manager, and her crew, make an effort to get to know their customers and that creates a “family” feeling.
Fourth, the Starbucks Store, especially the restrooms, is always clean and tidy. No one wants to sit down to a sticky table or chair. You won’t get that here. And if they get slammed, they still make time to make sure the cafe is clean.

“This Starbucks, located near the I-5 in Carlsbad, stands out with its unique European-style building and spacious interior. The clean and well-organized setup features both chairs and cozy sofas, providing a comfortable environment for all.

In the afternoon, the sunlight streaming through the windows creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for reading, working, or simply relaxing. The proximity to the ocean adds a coastal charm to the location.

While the store lacks a drive-thru, which might be inconvenient for some, the serene ambiance and spacious seating make it worth visiting for those who prefer a more relaxed experience. A lovely spot to unwind with your favorite Starbucks drink!“

“I want to shout out to the barista that she was awesome. Apparently I arrived at closing time (I didn't know), and they didn't have any more hot coffee, but she recommended cold brew that is just as strong, and I had a long way to drive back home. She was right, that cold brew kept me awake, and I got home safely. Appreciate the suggestion and now I have another option other than just plain hot coffee.

Parking: easy parking, plenty of spaces

Wheelchair accessibility: lots of handicapped parking, ramps make it very accessible.“
