Starbucks in Novato

“While I’m here seating drinking my coffee, I keep noticing some customers being a pain to the employees. I live in San Francisco and we don’t have these type of people. Seriously. My dirty chai was perfect. Benches are comfy. People get a life and be nice to others“

“Super helpful, friendly, and patient staff.

The Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher and a Pink Drink were both made perfectly!

Parking: This location is in a little shopping center next to a Trader Joe’s. The parking lot is big and free.

Kid-friendliness: Standard Starbucks kid friendliness with chairs to sit on and art on the walls.“

“Starbucks, especially the ones in Safeway, do not have the greatest ratings especially by us coffee snobs. But today my partner and I had fantastic cups of decaf from this Safeway Starbucks. The gentleman took the time to do pour overs as opposed to americanos. In case any managers or whoevers are looking at this review, I'd mention his name, but I don't remember it! He was a shorter thinner black gentleman, and he had a really positive energy about him. And he made pour overs so good that I didn't even need that much cream in it. I should mention that everybody's shorter to me because I'm 6-1, so maybe he was average height and I just had no idea because I have a terrible gauge. if it was appropriate to hug the guy for the cups of coffee he made my partner and I, I would have. Thank you thank you thank you to have her this guy is. You made my day.“

“I came here after reading reviews of folks being ignored. So I was searching for exactly that. Unfortunately, they recognized me as a customer and even asked what I would like. I hadn't been expecting to get called on, but I made up something on the spot. Coffee, black, in a cup. It worked. The food gets five stars, because coffee isn't really food (is it?). The atmosphere gets four because it's a Starbucks - what are you expecting? And the service gets five because they did exactly what a normal business does, even if you go in expecting to get ignored.

Parking: There is a parking lot. What else are you expecting someone to tell you about a parking lot? It's well paved, and has new enough painted stripes so you don't get too confused. If you see other cars around, just do what they're doing, generally speaking. You'll be fine. Just practice.“

“Just want to acknowledge a fantastic staff including Jovanni, Sergey, Eric and Raymond. You guys are making a difference inside Target shopping where in many other departments can follow your example. Great leadership here ! Cheers and thanks ! Spectacular cappuccinos by master barista Jovanni ! If he serves you consider very lucky !“

“Very rewarding experience after doing multiple household errands. I really deserved the Mocha Cookie Crumble. What was special about my September 30th afternoon stop was the way Maria was so graceful in preparing a routine Starbucks Drink at just another Starbucks within a Safeway. She took it as if she were a top-rate housemaid with a long cafe resume working for a billionaire.“
