Starbucks in Riverside

“I met up with some friends nearby and decided to grab a dirty chai to stay awake for the drive home. The service was decent, and the place was clean. The dirty chai was surprisingly delicious! This Starbucks is in a charming part of Canyon Crest in Riverside, and I’d definitely come back!“

“I love this Starbucks! The staff is so friendly, especially in the drive-thru. Eliot (tall, long brown hair) is also so friendly and helpful, I'll drive out of my way sometimes to come to this Starbucks because it's seriously that much better <3“

“Recently started visiting this location a couple months ago and have had great interactions with workers Will and Angel. They are sweet, and both go above and beyond to help others; I always see them cleaning and restocking which is a huge plus! People that take time out of their work day to ask how you’re doing is never expected but always nice :) I’m sure the rest of the staff is great, too. I also had the pleasure of meeting the store manager, Tanya. She was also very kind and you can tell she cares about her store! My vanilla sweet cream cold brew is ALWAYS perfect (sorry, can’t say that about many stores cold brew..) & I will definitely keep coming back to this location.

Side note: lobby can be busy with school mornings, be prepared to wait a little. And the new blackberry sage is delicious with 1/2 lemonade 1/2 water!

Parking: Lots of parking, but with there being other businesses in the plaza, the lot can get full on weekends“

“Ralphie is the best! He is very sweet and just full of energy. He goes above and beyond what other of his coworkers need to learn from him. He is always giving options when there is an item out of stock. Ralphie is the main reason I come to this Starbucks. Thank you Ralphie for everything you do. You are an AMAZING person.“

“I LOVE THIS LOCATION! I travel all over S. Calif. as a sales rep, so I am stopping at different SBUX. THIS location is so consistent..the drinks are rich and perfect every time! UNLIKE many other locations. Also very friendly, as I have a dog that goes with me and they always are so friendly to my dog. The crew here needs to be recognized! GREAT JOB! I come every single day...it just makes my day.“

“Tanya, Marisol and the entire Wood Street & Van Buren team are always so hospitable and work to ensure orders are done correctly and in a timely fashion. Huge thanks to them for caring for my middle school site team as we kicked off another academic year with our students. You guys are awesome!“

“I ordered the iced apple crisp oatmilk shaken espresso and I wanted to weep it was so good. Like tasting fall in my cup, whoever was there this morning is a 10/10. I rarely go to this Starbucks but I think I'll go more often because I've never had a bad experience here and today was exceptional“

“It's early morning, I ordered a hot Americano, but got into the car and realized I was too sleepy and still had an hr drive ahead of me and I couldn't drink a hot drink that fast because I would burn myself.

So I went back inside to ask for a cup of ice so I could drink it faster. And they made me an entirely new drink! And let me keep the hot one for later!! SO kind and generous!

Thank you Carrington for offering to make me a new drink (I'm so cheered up--I needed the caffeine assist!). And thanks to Sarah for taking my order and being so friendly!“

“I visited the Starbucks at UCR Glenmor Market, conveniently located near Parking Lot 10. Parking is free for 45 minutes, then $7 for 2 hours. For breakfast, I had the jalapeño roasted chicken, potato cheddar bakes, and cheese sourdough bread with coffee—all were delicious!

This location doesn’t accept American Express, but the staff is amazing. One gentleman went out of his way to help me, and the friendly service really made my morning. The environment is cozy and perfect for enjoying that first cup of coffee to start the day. Highly recommend this spot if you’re on campus.“

“This place was literally my favorite Starbucks. It has been recently renovated and the space feels smaller. Also, it had 'booth' type seats with endless chargers. They have reduced these for long tables. Awkward for people there to chat vs work. Such as shame.“

“Honestly, it's a Starbucks.I would've expected better service (usually very upbeat and happy experience), but I can't blame Starbucks for the way employees act when dealing with a customer. The cashier was very bleh attitude, and almost seemed like she couldn't hear me? She was wearing a headset so I'm not sure if she was torn between conversations. Either way I didn't feel like I had her full attention to take my order.Maybe smile more and be more attentive. Remember, it's the job you CHOSE to work. No one is making you work there.I used to enjoy Starbucks, but the service at times in certain locations is declining. Otherwise, it's a decent place to sit, grab a water or a snack, and use the wifi.If I'm going to have any coffee it's usually a black or blonde coffee (cold or hot) add some vanilla sweet cream and whip with/without Caramel.“

“Great tea's and snacks and besides Jacklyn, a very friendly crew. Last holiday season I was schooled on the ugly sweater cookies, are not ginger bread cookies, okay.. however when ring up on receipt it showed ginger bread. Jacklyns attitude was that of someone down talking me.. really?“

“OMG absolutely Love this Starbucks ? Marco and the whole crew always go above and beyond to make sure that orders are processed in a timely and efficient manner even on busy days can you believe that!!!! Amazing right if your in Riverside come to this particular Starbucks for the ultimate experience 1 million stars good job guys!!!!“

“As I was waiting in the drive thru, I could hear the Starbucks employee speaking over the speaker to the person in the car in front of me and immediately I noticed that her voice was soothing and her words were helpful and kind. When it was my turn to order, I asked her name bc I wanted to give her props for being a cool person. Her name is Steel and although it was only a quick conversation, I am grateful to have met her. I love when I meet awesome authentic people in our community! Yay for Steel and Starbucks for employing someone who made me feel happy. Thanks “

“Whats the deal with no liquid cane anymore? much better sweetner foe the green tea. Asked for extra carmel no whipped cream on my carmel crunch, I gor no carmel and whipped cream. You know why you don't go through the drive, through? They F you at the drive through.
No time to go back since we stopped on our commute.“

“Ok so I hate Starbucks in general lol I’m not big on waste or even the taste of coffee, but when I choose to go they’re nice about my personal cups. And they’re human so they messed up a few different drinks but never denied remaking them for me. There’s a few new people, I understand why they get defensive but honestly you can’t please everyone and they should take it with a grain of salt. I feel like Starbucks culture in general is a prissy bougie societal fail lol but be nice to the workers and you be surprised how much better your drink taste and your experience is. Be prepared to wait it’s not a Starbucks express. Lately my pick up orders have only taken 5-9 mins and that’s VERY reasonable for how busy they are. They’re people, they see you huffing and puffing and rolling your eyes, knock it off. I don’t complain about the workers it’s the PEOPLE that come here that suck. That’s why the atmosphere gets a low rating. Also I love these new fall apple crisp drinks because “f” pumpkin spice.

Dietary restrictions: I don’t like cows milk in my tea or coffee so having so many non dairy options is really nice. I prefer the oatmilk here but often get coconut milk too

Parking: There’s a few spots in the front way more on the drive thru side

Kid-friendliness: Bring your kids they have cake pops lol

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a patio that’s suited for wheelchairs and friends without“

“Me and my client come here and we always have a nice experience and our order is right I came here for my birthday and they accidentally didn't put in something I asked for don't judge me y'all but I kept this drink for a week because I didn't have the receipt and I had not been out this way so I finally brought it back today explain what happened and they remade it with no problem thank u 💖💖“

“Ones on every street corner for a reason honestly get over the hype and actually look the price isn’t bad and the service is always wonderful! And the drinks are well crafted and taste like things other than ice chocolate and Carmel the only flavors “craft” coffee shops can somehow figure out“

“Normally, I go to this location extremely early due to my work schedule. It's one of the only places open for coffee that I like.
I don't know if it's because it's so early (5am-ish)but they are always in a bad mood. For this reason, I was going to rate it 2 stars but my service changed when I went there at 10am. The young lady who took my order sounded so cheerful over the intercom and once I got to the windows she was the most pleasant worker I have ever encountered at this location. I think everyone should be just like this employee at this location.
