Starbucks in San Clemente

“Just ordered an undertow at the Ortega location and they completely butchered it so I had to just pour it out. This location decided to comp my drink due to such a bad experience. The whole team was busy during cars and coffee but they still did an excellent job pumping the drinks out and mason made a fantastic drink! Great experience and I’ll be taking all my coffee business here from now on!“

“Green Tea Frappuccino, Salted Caramel Cold Brew, Strawberry Refresher, all the menus were delicious. There were many tables on the ocean view patio, and there was plenty of parking space next to the building, so there was no inconvenience in parking. The servers were friendly, and the interior was clean.“

“This is a very busy yet very well managed Starbucks. Tho it's busy the flow is great, meaning you don't feel like you wait long. I ordered and had my coffee within seconds (literally). I stop here only a few times so I can't guarantee it's always this way“

“Drinks are always made to perfection. Quick service, and customer service is always next level. The manager, he’s always so friendly and kind, and his team follows his lead. My husband and I commute from Orange to Carlsbad and Kearney Mesa for work. We pass hundreds of Starbucks but choose to stop here simply for the experience. Thanks Team! Apologies for not knowing your names but I’ll learn them soon and update my review.“

“I continuously have the best experiences with the baristas here. All of them have been great, but Chanelle especially is awesome. I hadn't been in this location in many months and when I walked in the other day she remembered my name and my exact order. And she's always super friendly and professional. My drinks are always made great.“

“Aida was my barista. She never fails to greet me with a smile and call me by my name. This is the modern day version of the television series Cheers. Aida is efficient, courteous, knowledgeable and provides unparalleled service. I hope your company does whatever is necessary to maintain such a valuable employee.“

“I heard a lot of people criticizing the location of the coffee shop because it is close to the entrance. However, I usually go there a little after the highschool ends (around 4 I think is a good time or before 3:20) so that it's not too busy. I probably waited there once for 2min so honestly if you plan out then I think you should be fine.

For Starbucks itself, the only thing I took before was the bottled orange juice; but then someone introduced me to it and usually go there once a week. They have a big variety of drinks and don't be scared of trying out different things because it might just be worth it and THE WINTER SPECIALS ARE BACK so go try them out! Like I said, I only go there weekly so I don't spend that much money on it and I think it's fun to just hangout with a coffee cup or even work (not this Starbucks though because it is inside an Albertsons).“

“If you like continuity, this may not be the place for you. I like the fact that each worker has their own variable in the syrup, caramel and other additions while still creating a strong shot of caffeine to boost your energy and get you through the 3PM lull.“
