Starbucks in San Mateo

“Came in today to redeem my first free refill, and I had the pleasure to be helped by Lilly who took care of my request immediately, explained how the refill program worked and handled everything quickly, with professionalism and a positive attitude. I’m very pleased with my experience today.“

“I am genuinely surprised to see this location rated at only 3.9 stars. I've been coming here twice a week for the past month, and my experience has been consistently five-star.

The morning staff is particularly excellent. They are always friendly, and their genuine smiles are the perfect way to start my day. Yes, they get busy—it's Starbucks—but the consistent and friendly greeting everyone receives truly sets this location apart.

This spot is now one of my top locations, right up there with the East Cut store in SF!“

“100% the best bunch of people working I ever had the pleasure to meet, I had my own Restaurant for years and was in Food ServiceMaster Sales. So I know the chemistry of the group and individual is awesome on these bunch.
A big kudos. Keep up the good work.
Thank you“

“Lovely, friendly staff members.I was able to stay connected to the WiFi and work seamlessly alongside a nice, small lunch here.

Vegetarian options: Decent vegetarian options are available, however I believe Starbucks overall can do better on their pure vegetarian options worldwide.

Parking: Plenty of parking space around this place.“

“I often visit this place first before starting my Target trips since I always take long trips a d having coffee while shopping is delightful. It’s good to have a Starbucks in every Target store.The staff are friendly. Sometimes, I got my orders mixed up though. I was quite upset for not having what I wanted but just shrugged it off.

Parking: Plenty of free parking lots in the shopping center

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair road and tables“

“The only Starbucks in the area. Located right in Mollie Stone Supermarket. You can do a small shopping trip while waiting for your coffee. I often walk around to look at their fresh produce or cheese section.

The quality is inconsistent. There are times they made my drink less than the lid level (like my matcha latte, I was so disappointed), but there are times they gave me overwhelmed drinks (like my frappe, it was literally leaking out no matter how I tried to wiped it off, this one made me laugh). I’m not complaining 😂

Kid-friendliness: Kids will love their bakery and fruit drinks.“

“I just love it main thing is they have bakery Fresh bake bread,,donuts bagels And more and more with club membership it’s great price very affordable love yo shop at Safeway ... Safeway is a affordable store for anyone Thanks for Safeway workers and big thanks to management and Safeway’s big main owner Thanks a lot for ur support and service for everyone can get affordable price . Thank you 🙏 😊“

“I was here on a Sunday morning because the Hillsdale shopping Center only open from 10:00 p.m. so I decided to start my morning with a coffee Starbucks right in the Hillsdale shopping Center Starbucks open earlier. They're internally connected this Hillsdale shopping Center.

I bought a decaf coffee in a mug up which cost $3.25.
There are very few people using the cup so I have to ask them to put the coffee in the mug cup because I'm drinking in shop.

The location is very good because it's in the shopping center. When you finish shopping you can go there. Have a cup of coffee and chill. I started go to trader Joe's and then headed to the Starbucks. They're very close, about 5 minutes walk.

Coffee is good. The place is good. There are two table seats outside. No wait time in the morning. Just one thing I'm not never comfortable with.

I paid using my Starbucks app but it looks like they charged me twice. I'm not sure if there's a security holding on it. I only swiped My Starbucks barcode at the counter once and when I asked the staff if they have charged my twice. They said no. It looks like they don't know what's going on. I might have to call Starbucks customer service to make sure I'm not being charged twice if I find out it's not a security hold.

I would say the service is good but the Starbucks app doesn't function well leading to a moderate experience in shop.“

“Small take-out only Starbucks. They have a screen that tracks the progress of your order, which is an interesting concept, but most patrons don’t pay attention to it as they just walk up to the counter and look for their name. Fast service. Large free parking lot.“
