“Even on rainy days, the baristas do a wonderful job of handling the orders and interacting with the customers. Thanks for my morning Mocha on the way to the canyon!
Kid-friendliness: Plenty of treats and non-coffee drinks for the little ones.
Parking: It's next to an Albertsons, so there is always parking.“
“Ordered and paid for a latte and grilled cheese. After several minutes I was told they were out of grilled cheese. Said I could choose another option, which I did. It was around a $1 less, but no mention of a refund. Not a big deal, but should have been mentioned. Also, there was a homeless guy sitting in the patio area yelling and cursing to himself.“
“Oh, look what I found! What a gem I discovered in Malibu! A wonderful place with an amazing vibe, great mood, and truly excellent, refined coffee. The team made it so fast I didn’t even notice the wait. Super friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and that special feeling that makes you want to come back again. This spot genuinely lifts your mood and makes your day better.“
“I like going to this specific location. They are very quick and very polite. Not crowded at all, which i like. Though they don’t have mobile order, but it is good since unlike other location, they have more employees and you get your order fast.“
“There’s something about Malibu mornings that just hit different, and grabbing my caramel macchiato at this Starbucks felt like the perfect way to start the day. The staff here deserves real credit — super friendly, quick with the orders, and even on a busy morning rush they kept the vibe calm and easy. Service alone is a 5.
The coffee? Exactly what I wanted. Hot, strong, and balanced with that caramel sweetness I come back for every time. I’ve been to plenty of Starbucks all over California, but this one keeps a special spot on my list whenever I’m in Malibu.
The interior is clean and modern with plenty of seating inside, and the outside patio is a nice bonus if you want to sit under the umbrellas and breathe in the ocean air just a few minutes away. The only thing that threw me off — there’s no restroom inside. Honestly, I didn’t expect that in a Malibu Starbucks. Not a dealbreaker, but surprising for sure.
Still, it’s all about the coffee and the service, and they nailed both. For me, this place is locked at ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
Pro tip: grab your drink here before heading down to the beach or cruising the PCH — it sets the tone just right.“
