Starbucks in Oakland

“I went in this morning after kind of a tough night last night and a tough morning. There was someone (tall, Black gentleman - I hope he reads this someone) working there this morning whose warm and friendly smile really helped. This is not a corporate or customer service thing; I just felt the human goodness.“

“It's a Starbucks! It's not a Starbucks Reserve. It doesn't have a view. It's only special because of the staff that work there. Otherwise, it's a Starbucks like all other Starbucks in any other strip mall in this country. They had my order ready ahead order ready quickly. There were a few people there when I visited.

“Starbucks is one of those few companies standing on the hard labor of mostly young and friendly staff.
I have been coming here often for the last 5 months, there are lots of familiar staff faces (shout out Luisa, Jenny, Julian and many others from whom I can’t read their name tag!) working at full speed.
It seems they are always under stress because this is a busy store, particularly heavy on online ordering.
There’s one person in particular that always stood out, ⭐️Abby ⭐️ a young man who I believed to be the manager -but he’s not- who every time someone came in, shouted a greeting, welcoming them.
I never got to see him idle, he would help all stations, refill beans, run orders, and collect himself to talk warmly to customers, like if we were the only important thing at the store.

It’s a sad day for Starbucks and the community who visit, because it’s Abby’s last day!

And it’s the first day of a brilliant life for Abby!!! ??? with your work ethics, intelligence and genuine warmth, you will triumph ANYWHERE you go, Abby!! Thank you for your hard work, it’s never unseen ?

Your parents must be rightfully proud of you!

Parking: For a quick pickup you may want to park at Safeway, otherwise side streets have both, paid and free parking.“

“Starbucks on Marina in San Leandro
They didn't wanna make my Icey 🍓 drink Cause I didn't won't 🍋 in it but after I waited over 10min an asking question like why can I customize my drink if you not gonna make it so they made but the was the 1st time a Starbucks had place that didn't won't to make my drinks“

“A young woman by the name of Harley made getting a quick pick me up drink such an unexpected sweet experience. She was so kind and attentive and everytime we looked over she was doing something, helping someone, busy with a smile and air of grace and ease. She truly gave the energy of an angel. Give this girl a raise!!!!!! Will be back just to see her :)“

“Love this location! Always a must stop at this little oasis off the freeway after work. Their drinks are always made to order and I enjoy trying a new snack when I want to switch it up. I put 2 stars for atmosphere ONLY because the last few times I've been in there, it has been almost unbearably hot. I usually like to bring my book and stay for a while, but lately I have been leaving as soon as I get my drink and food. The staff and music is always on point, so when the heating issue gets fixed, it's a 5/5 all around for me.“

“This is one of the top Starbucks in the bayarea. They have great service although they are always busy. The food and beverages are very good. 10 out of 10 in service and quality.

Parking: This Starbucks is located in a shopping plaza that provides free parking on the lot.

Kid-friendliness: They have several kid-friendly options.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, this location has great wheelchair accessibility.“

“I was a "the best part of waking up was Folgers in your cup" kinda guy. It was my first Starbucks experience. It was very fancy for me. But truthfully I loved it. Clean shop, super helpful staff and they tolerated my not being sure of what I wanted. I'll be a regular customer.“

“Given the location of this Starbucks, they do a pretty darn good job here. It's a bright open dining area and the service is generally pretty fast and friendly. The bathrooms are an unfortunate disaster area. There are a few outlets for plugging in your computer. And the food and coffee always meets or exceeds expectations. If you park on the street you better hide everything or your car will be smashed into.“
