Starbucks in Del Mar

“Charming Vibes with a Coastal Touch

Nestled in the Beachside Del Mar plaza, this Starbucks stands out with its vintage aesthetic of gray bricks and white-framed windows, complementing the plaza's classic design. They offer a cozy outdoor seating area—perfect for soaking up the sun, enjoying a casual chat, or setting up under an umbrella for productive work sessions.

Inside, the café is long and narrow, with limited seating, but the decor is a treat! The walls feature ink-style pastoral scenes and modern art, along with descriptions of the coffee-making process, adding a thoughtful, artistic touch. The baristas here are friendly and efficient, with drinks coming out quickly. Seasonal gift cards are displayed right at the counter, and I loved the 2024 fall and Halloween designs—both are perfect for gifting!“

“This Starbucks perfectly matches the Flower Hills theme with its thoughtfully designed interior. The decor features high ceilings, walls adorned with coffee and flower knowledge, and a mix of high round tables and cozy sofa chairs, making it an ideal spot for both chatting and working.

The store’s spacious layout adds to its appeal, though the natural lighting is slightly lacking, which could be a downside for some. On the bright side, the service speed is impressive—I got my drink shortly after placing my order.

The high ceilings create a comfortable and airy vibe, enhancing the overall experience. A great spot for coffee lovers who value ambiance and efficiency!“
