My husband was really upset with his black iced tea today. He ordered a venti iced tea, but it came packed with ice, leaving very little tea. After just a few sips, it was gone. It was truly disappointing.

New Starbucks model is apparently punish those that don't want to use the app. One cannot simply walk in and order a drink without having 3 or more associates ignore you for 5 minutes before determining the reason you are standing at the cash register is to order a drink. Some of us prefer not to use your scam app that forces you to put a large amount that you may or may not use only to have to add more money in an amount that forces you to add more money so that the cycle continues. Why can't I load $3.48 to buy a coffee why do I have to load $10. Additionally you do those that work there refuses to acknowledge someone standing where just a few years ago someone would take my order.

The good:I tried a cinnamon caramel cold brew here and enjoyed it a lot! I think it comes in one standard size. I liked how much cream was on top and I enjoyed the fun flavor combo. I enjoy how Starbucks always has seasonal offerings. I was able to get some work done here and liked that the tables were by outlets and bathrooms didn't require a code. There are probably more outdoor tables here than indoor ones. The bad:The inside only had 4-5 tables. Only one table was fit for 2-4 people but the remainder was for 1-2 and they're all right next to each other. The interior is small and is better for take-out rather than indoor chats and studying or getting work done. There's no drive-thru. The parking lot is often crowded. The area where people wait for their drinks is also in front of the area where you might order so it was confusing to know who was in line. The interesting:There was no cinnamon powder in or on top and no caramel sauce. I was surprised by this. I supposed the flavor comes from a syrup that is integrated into the foam? The foam was purely white so I'm unsure where the flavor was integrated.

[Review #798]2023-086Drink Order:MANGO DRAGONFRUIT LEMONADE (lemonade, mango dragonfruit refreshers base, strawberry purée sauce, freeze dried dragonfruit pieces)I'm not a coffee drinker, but was on a walk with some of the C1 Cantonese parents to "shoot the breeze" & get some steps in. 2 were looking to get a cuppa joe & Starbucks happen to be on our walking path so we dropped in for some drinks.The coffee shop is located on the north side of Peninsula Shopping between Peninsula Ctr. & Deep Valley Dr. No matter the time on Saturday mornings, there's usually a line but the baristas here are pretty efficient that the wait is usually no more than 10 - 15 mins.I had one of their refreshers -- Valencia -- at the Torrance location near Wilson Park years ago & it was quite awful (refer to Review #16). This time I tried the Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade, & it was a better drink but not my cup of tea. There was just something off, maybe because of the green coffee extract? For that price, I rather drive down the hill & pick-up a boba tea. Also, on this occasion there were smokers puffing away near the entrance, which made the experience worse. Gawd, I don't understand why people smoke in the first place, but they need to do it away from others since they're polluting the air. :-XWill I be back, more than likely (because of my Canto group), just not sure if I'll place an order or hang around due to the chain smokers.Recommended: Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade.

Starbucks #518 Morning Manager She was not helpful made me feel like if I was asking for hand me downs. All I was asking was for a resolution of a gift card that was purchased at this store and not reloaded properly somehow the money was loaded and minutes after removed and when card was going to be used showed $0 balance. After going to the store several times and about 3 hours wasted issue was finally resolved by 800 customer service.

apathetic staff , Sorry to say look like they just got out of jail not suited to palos verdes . The drinks are half filled taste like hot water . with district manager would've been nice to have some kind of refund nothing was offered... perhaps this location might go out business like some of the others you get what you give. Update I just added this review and lightning strike me dead. I wrote this before reading the other ones now but if anyone can't see an extremely strong theme of consistency here I don't know who could . They should shut this place down or get a new staff . If you want to pay for hot water, go here. another option is to have them go work downtown LA where ghetto awaits .

Very unfortunate remodel, lacking seating, counter spanning the length of space is very sterile. Although there are 7 people working none can look up to acknowledge your existence.

Small study space, unfortunately I don’t think I’ll come back. The air fan that turns on when the door opens and shuts is so cold and strong all the tables are in line and is very distracting.
