Starbucks in Emeryville

“The Starbucks at 65th and Hollis is simply the best. The staff is friendly, professional and overall par excellance. It is a lovely place to meet friends, take a break, or get a little work done.Thank you, Starbucks, for being such an important cornerstone of our neighborhood. ☆❤️

Parking: There's a public parking garage across the street at 6401 Hollis. Either enter by the cleaners or on 65th just past the cookie place.“

“My daughter recently participated in an anti-cyberbullying presentation competition—and she won first place! As a reward, she received a Starbucks gift card. It was her very first time going into a Starbucks ordering by herself, and she decided to use it to treat both herself and her little brother.

The baristas there were incredibly kind and patient. They made sure it was okay to make a decaf Frappuccino for the kids, and my daughter thoughtfully ordered a large size so she could share. One of the baristas even asked if we’d like it split into two or three cups. they gave each of my kids their own cup instead of just one large one—such a sweet gesture!

The kids were so surprised and happy. We’re truly grateful. It was a wonderful first Starbucks experience for them.“

“When you find out the FedEx won’t open for 2 hours because of a Google Map error, you go to the nearest Starbucks to people watch. Here is what I saw in the 40 minutes waiting for my cold brew:

- 20 people of all shapes in a huddle formation around the pick up area
- Someone ordered a latte with 12 pumps of caramel
- At least 4 different women named ‘Lauren’ picking up a drink
- Someone dying their hair in the bathroom
- 1 fist fight between two hipsters over an outlet
- 2 separate Bible Studies, one of them had an acoustic guitar on hand

And

- An abandoned McDonalds paper bag effectively claiming a table for 4 for itself

Cold Brew was delicious. Can’t wait to be back.“
