Stopped by this location on my way to Carlsbad. Great location, just off the freeway. The service was fast and efficient. The only drawback is the indoor seating area is on the smaller side. I tried the pecan latte. It was good.

Horrible representation for a Starbucks! I went into the store this evening (8/31) and I immediately noticed the employees were highly unfriendly which made me uncomfortable. The men working the evening shift are not only unfriendly and unprofessional, but so unpleasant. While sitting in the cafe I overheard them speaking poorly about other customers utilizing the drive thru and I was mortified. What a shame to have such lackluster! I will definitely not patronize this location again.

Stopped by Starbucks and ordered a Cappuccino and a Frappé Latte — both tasted really good! Smooth, well-balanced, and just what I needed. Great spot for a quick coffee fix!

Great service, smallish space so not the most inviting for a sit down.. although outside seating area can be nice weather permitting. Drinks are usually made to spec and I rarely return for a remake or feel a need to complain.. so they’re doing everything right. It’s a convenient location, but the parking area can be a bit chaotic during peak hours.

I come to this Starbucks almost daily. Some people know my face and name by now. I spend about $25/$30 a week here. I went to use the bathroom one afternoon and was told I needed to purchase something to be given the code like I was some stranger to this place. Not cool. Don't police the bathroom to your regulars.

Coffee is good but don’t use the drive through, they’re slow.

My wife and I bought a coffee earlier and came back in to use the restroom not 20 mins later. We asked for the restroom code for the door and the employee Katie said we needed to purchase something in order to use the restroom. My wife is pregnant and just needed to use the restroom. We are paying customers.

The person at the window is always awesome however, this time both drinks I ordered were inconsistent with the same drink at other locations.The latte was very weak and the other tasted like the tap water used to make the tea and or ice needs filtered. It might not be their fault I'm beginning to learn Del Mar tap Water is just a bit more gross than nearby communities and drinks like Iced tea are just best avoided.

Today we visited the Starbucks at 2602 Del Mar Heights Rd, Del Mar, CA, and ordered two Iced Shaken Espressos via the drive-thru. The coffee was as good as expected, but the service left much to be desired.
While taking our order, the staff was initially friendly, but during the handoff, the young lady became extremely rude. After I said “thank you,” she only responded with an arrogant “hmm.” It felt like she was annoyed because we didn’t leave a tip.
Unfortunately, this behavior left a negative impression, and we wouldn’t visit this location again. It’s disappointing because great service is just as important as great coffee.

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!

Because this location only takes mobile orders as important. I ended up waiting over 15 minutes for 1 drink because I ordered at the location. Very poor customer service. The employees operate like robots, no smiles or pleasant interactions with customers.
