Every morning my drink has the taste of spoiled milk, like it didn’t go bad YET but that taste of milk about to expire is very noticeable and I thought maybe it was just that one time but it’s the 3rd time 😭 and it just seems to be Saturday mornings Every other day is fine so idk what’s up but I tend to end up throwing my drink away because I just can’t do it anymore 😭😭😭 And it’s true, I should go back to tell them but I tend to run late to work on Saturday’s lol 🫠 other than that this place is usually great

Nathan “Nate” (Starbucks, Tampa & Nordhoff) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nate is hands-down the best barista I’ve ever met — the ⭐️ star of Starbucks! His espresso macchiatos are perfect every time, and he actually remembers your custom order without judgment. While most baristas just call your name and hand over the cup, Nate goes the extra step: kind, generous, polite, and a great listener. He makes every visit feel personal, not rushed. You can tell he aims to make every customer genuinely happy and highly satisfied. Starbucks, take note — give this man a raise and a promotion. Managing a store? Piece of cake 🍰 for Nate 💯 PS Corey the new 1-month old manager is doing a great job ✨

My wife wanted her Iced Chai Latte and everything bagel so we stopped by this Starbucks today. We came a little before lunch and used the drive thru. They weren't that busy so the line moved by quickly. I just got a venti iced water. The staff were polite and we didn't have any issues during our visit today.

To use the restroom need to buy something may be seems like some purchasing policy!

Their ecolabs were out of juice. They would only take cards no cash. Little Ms. Donkey Kong said it was Policy.

Barista was incredibly rude. Unfortunately he had no apron nor name tag. He had a green shirt with a black beanie and nose earring. My kid and I came in to work on our school work. My son needed to to use the bathroom but the barista says no he had to buy something which I was already in the process of doing on my phone. We weren't even in there 5 minutes when he approached stating we had to buy something or leave. I showed him how I was already ordering on my mobile. No apologies and he just left. The entire time we were there he just made us incredibly uncomfortable. Lady came in and asked for the code to the restroom and he give it to her without asking her to purchase anything. And she purchased nothing after she left the restroom. And the same thing with everyone else walking in and asking for the code. So I don't know why we were singled out. Life is hard man just be kind it literally costs nothing to be kind.
This location has no common sense. They want you to purchase first before you can use the restroom. So if they have a line to order and you need to go real bad, the only way they will deal with it is you order first or pee in your pants.

Somehow, they managed to ruin a drink that has a standard recipe. The Brown Suggar Cortado is mostly the only drink I enjoy from Starbucks, but there is definitely something off about the staff at this location. It was one of the worst drinks I've had so far.

I had a disappointing experience at this Starbucks location. I placed a mobile order and went in to pick up my drink. Before leaving, I wanted to wash my hands and asked for the bathroom code, but the employee refused to give it to me. He didn’t believe that I had made a purchase, even though I had. It was frustrating and unnecessary, especially since I had my order confirmation. I expect better customer service from Starbucks.

Oh, what a delightful experience at the Nordhoff and Tampa Starbucks! I mean, who doesn’t love sitting in a drive-through line long enough to question all their life choices? It was such a refreshing change of pace to be completely ignored at the speaker for a solid five minutes—really gave me time to reflect on my existence. And when they finally did acknowledge my presence? Wow, what an honor!
Then, after what felt like an eternity, I was blessed with a half-filled drink. Because, obviously, I ordered a “Tall But Make It Even Shorter.” It’s honestly impressive how they managed to serve up both a long wait and less drink—talk about efficiency! And the employee? Oh, his enthusiasm was just radiating. If “bored out of his mind” was an Olympic sport, he’d take gold.
Really, it’s incredible how a Starbucks this close to home managed to be such a letdown. A true masterpiece of disappointment. Whoever is in charge of this place should probably consider, I don’t know, managing? Just a thought. But hey, at least now I know where not to go when I need caffeine and decent service. Do better Starbucks.

This Starbucks has a convenient location near the San Fernando Valley shopping malls, making it a great stop for a coffee break. The staff is friendly, and the store is clean with a spacious seating area. A great spot to relax or get some work done!
