Starbucks in Costa Mesa

“I wanted to take the time to recognize & show appreciation for Kelsea barista cashier partner at this specific location. Her attitude presence energy & drink making skills are on point. Great personality genuine! I come by here & there semi regularly & I am always relieved when I see that she will be making my drink. Her drinks are perfection & I dont have to feel like Im being picky for wanting no foam on my latte. Worth it everytime. Huge asset they are lucky to have her.“

“This starbucks is so nice! I used to come here as a kid with a friend, and coming back again it was really nice to see the same charm that emanates from this coffeeshop. The music was beautiful and not overwhelming, just the right volume, and with their selection of Pride themed music or old jazzy songs, it was really nice to sit here and pass the time. Also, Jo the barista is soooooooooo dreamy. I know that this shouldn't go into a review, but his positive energy and light made this Starbucks such a wonderful place.“

“The baristas at this store are professional and amazing at customer connections!
My drink was made exactly the way it’s supposed to be made and it tasted incredible! Definitely my new favorite Starbucks! I really recommend this location “

“With numerous locations available, grabbing a quick drink or snack on the go has never been easier—and this particular spot is no exception. What sets it apart, however, is the added convenience and overall positive experience. To save time, we placed a mobile order in advance, anticipating a potential rush or long wait times. Surprisingly, the store wasn’t busy at all, which made the experience even smoother. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by staff, and half of my order was already prepared and waiting. The remaining items were ready shortly after, minimizing any delay. One of the standout features of this visit was the cleanliness and organization of the store. Everything was neatly arranged, and the space felt well-maintained—an unexpected bonus, especially compared to other locations that sometimes feel chaotic or cluttered. Overall, the experience was efficient and pleasant, a great example of how good service and a clean environment can elevate even a quick stop for a drink or snack. Whether you’re in a hurry or just stopping by, this location delivers both convenience and quality, making it a reliable choice among many.“

“I would like to thank an employee named Alena for her kindness and service: she always smiles, always tries to help, always remembers what you ask. This is an appeal for customers, but especially for the manager of this cafe: such as this employee is hard to find, please take care of her. I've been to many places and expensive restaurants, but I've been served worse several times than in a regular coffee establishment. Thank you for your work and for your service.“

“Just stopped by to have an ice coffee when I was using the Tesla Supercharger across the street for 30m. 3m walk and amazing friendly service by this crew on LABOR DAY. 🇺🇸🙏 Not all of the younger gen. is spoiled. These youngsters ROCK!“

“I come to this Starbucks almost every weekend and they are always amazing! This morning I had an issue with how I ordered my mobile order and they fixed it for me quick and easy right as I showed up even though my order was already made. This place is great. Will continue to make this my go to spot“

“This Starbucks was a really pleasant experience overall. The coffee and drinks were consistent with what you expect from Starbucks, and the staff were friendly, polite, and efficient. What really stood out to me, though, was the environment. The seating area is beautifully designed, with very comfortable couches and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. I especially loved the outdoor seating — it’s spacious, pet-friendly, and perfect for spending time with friends or getting some work done. The design and atmosphere make this location feel extra cozy and enjoyable compared to many others.“

“Love it ~~ --- ~~ all good reviews under XD. Had a lot of fun there. Imagine that. Stop being mean to the new employees okay. The line goes all the way outside. Working on opening a new Starbucks near there. 3 shops being planned. Thank you for your time. Jenni Watson out!~ nya~~ ;D

Kid-friendliness: Poke away~ approved~~~!!!~~~“

“The staff is so friendly, and the drinks are always made perfectly. I mobile order, and the staff always offer a warm welcome and make sure I have my drink and anything else I need. I can not say enough how much I love this Starbucks location and its fantastic staff. They genuinely make me feel appreciated; as a mobile order, that's not always the case. 100/10 would recommend!“

“The barista at the register was so nice !! I think his name was Oliver. He helped me pick out which drink to get since I haven’t been to starbucks in so long, and now i’m SOLD on my daily drink!! Thank you Oliver, and all the other lovely baristas working here. I’ll make sure to come back for my Melon Burst energy with peppermint and a splash of pineapple ☺️“

“I love ordering online and picking up without having to wait in line. Great staff and friendly. I highly recommend the banana nut bread. It especially pairs well with my coffee when I order the bread not toasted, this way you can taste more of the banana flower & it's perfect with my hot coffee!“

“I got an iced expresso horchata through the app and received a delicious drink! I’m grateful for the Starbucks location. It’s busy, so I hope there would be more seating and accessible outlets in the future. The lighting is not the best for studying or completing work; however it’s a nice stop after shopping with family and friends. God bless you all+“

“The service is pretty good but it’s not consistent so I had to give it a four. The professionalisms and the hospitality of the baristas, runs the gamut. Lots of micro-aggressionaggression ….going around. If You know what I mean. 🥸“
