Starbucks in Rancho Santa Margarita

“This Starbucks homeless shelter is kept especially clean. No human feces in the corners or used needles in the bathroom like the ones in beautiful San Francisco. Anytime I go here the highly qualified and trained baristas greet me as if I'm the former CEO and Presidential Hopeful Howie Shnultzie and I can really tell the diversity sensitivity training last year really worked because the color of my skin doesn't affect the quality of the coffee that I may or may not purchase.. even though I'm white. There's a beautiful fountain outside that is always flowing, no doubt representative of rejuvenation and fertility to support non-binary gender equality in the workplace. Sometimes I'll sit there with my 5 dollar coffee and 1000 dollar laptop and Bluetooth linked smart phone bumping on my Beats by Dre and ponder how capitalism is the bane of the modern world. One of my favourite things about this derelict free, forward thinking Starbucks shelter is that I can walk into this place with only PJs on or half naked because I know I'm entering an establishment of true tolerance and acceptance .. hell I may even come here naked next time since I feel so accepted. I mean .. what better way to celebrate coexistence than to hold my Americano proudly in the air while exposing my body the way I was brought into this world.. although I don't like the name Americano .. it sounds oppressive and tyrannical. They should change it to Drinkcano or Cafe-o-Cup.. that's much less soul crushing. The bottom line is, if you're looking to spend 8 dollars on some string cheese to bring down the patriarchy and really stick it to capitalism with your latte sans plastique .. this is the place to do it.“

“This Starbucks is one of the best in OC, I will go in rather than use the drive through because of the amazing service. They are fast efficient, team oriented, and some of the most friendly Baristas you will ever meet. Kai always takes the time to get to know the gest and make them feel welcomed. I highly recommend this Starbucks to anyone in the Las Flores area.“

“Everyone here is fast, friendly and efficient. They always greet me by name each morning and go out of their way to make sure my drinks are perfect. I've tried other Starbucks in the area but none come close to being as good as this one. Thanks to them I always start my mornings out in a great mood. Thanks for being awesome guys!“

“Informally called the lakeside Starbucks this took over the local Carl's Jr. It is the one SB in town with popular drive-up service. Have to share inside staff have been extremely kind especially with the hot weather. My sincere thanks for the kindness. The remodel was light and so the dining area was kept for more seating. There is a small medium alcove area with a few comfy seats say big enough for 2-3 groups.“

“Finally…. This Starbucks gets renovated, looks more spacious, it is very well lit, looks 10x cleaner! Well done.Customer service was good, the lady at the counter was engaging, energetic, and friendly.We just ordered our usual, a Decaf Americano and a Frappuccino. They were prepared quickly and they were good too. Starbucks was not busy at all when we were there.“
