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.“

“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).“

“2 of 3 workers attentive, caring, great customer service, welcoming, kind and just overall awesome. The 3rd one was hustling and bustling a bit on the straightforward and to the point. Not rude just putting in work, work horse and overall respectful and enjoyable first stop of the morning at 6am this 4rd friday of 2026“

“Very cute location. This is to the girl who took my order today; such a sweet person. I ordered a pink drink and a venti water. She complimented my nails and was so nice to me the whole time I was ordering. She wrote on my cup “you are gorgeous”… girl, you are too!! I’ve been having a hard week and your interaction and note to me was so sweet, I appreciate you so much. That made my entire day. I wish I got your name to put on this review.

Atmosphere is great, I highly recommend this location.“

“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.“

“The first thing I notice are well-trained and attentive baristas. The drinks are made quickly and accurately. The store is well-kept and inviting. I frequent this location several times a week and I look forward to the warm “Welcome” every time I walk in the door.
The manager, Steve, as well as his shift supervisors & asst. managers seem focused on various aspects of the customer experience from drink quality to location cleanliness (inside and out) to customer safety. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the model location for this part of the county.“
