Starbucks in Santa Ana

“It’s 7:39 AM — a brand new day, we’re alive, the sun is up… but apparently no one told the girls working at this Starbucks. I walked in hoping for a warm cup of coffee and some good energy, but the only thing cold was the attitude at the counter.

A smile, a simple “good morning,” maybe even a “how are you?” — it’s not much to ask, especially when you work at a place that literally serves liquid energy and is supposed to set the tone for people’s day.

Friendly tip: basic courtesy and a little education on human interaction go a long way. The coffee? Decent. The service? Still waking up, I guess.“

“Love going to this location when im in town. Staff is friendly, place is clean and shout out to there manager Jen! Want to tell someone how wonderful Camila was going the extra mile for my order and Jen was so lovely and professional. Thank you!“

“This Starbuck
-with great design & cozy atmosphere
-like others’ clean & neat
-The people who are in the morning shift are kind of cold… They are my first group of people I met before working… But, I’ll come here again“

“Super grateful for the free drink today! The Barista asked if I was a teacher, and when I explained that I am a substitute teacher, she said that was good enough, and provided me with a free drink today!! A big “Thank You!” to her and Starbucks! Feeling appreciated!“

“Cassie was absolutely wonderful! My dad and I decided to stop by before our flight home and Cassie took our order but she was so sweet and seemed so happy which was contagious. I wish we had that kind of service back home. The drinks and muffins were great! Service was quick and we enjoyed a nice sit in time :)“

“This review is specifically for Starbucks located inside Target on 17th and Grand. I wanted to express my gratitude towards Luz, her welcoming and customer service was overwhelmingly pleasant. Even tho she was the only one attending at the time her customer service was always on point. Thank you for making our visit enjoyable.“

“I love Rev Cafe! Great selection of food, drinks, and snacks. It really compliments the dealership experience to have a cafe in house like this. They just added a cheeseburger to their menu too. Come try it for yourself. Really fast service and friendly staff as well.“

“You can find this Starbucks inside the Vons. My drink was great and I was pleased with the service I recieved at this location. Fast and friendly also very clean. I was surprised at the service I recieved from such a small staff. Good job Starbucks employee.“

“I love my starbucks barista Nikki, she's amazing. She's always so welcoming and her notes are uplifting. While she was away there was another barista that would make my order all the time. I haven't been able to catch his name but if he's reading this review, I appreciate you! You guys are amazing! I'm using my wife profile but my name is Christina B.“

“I have to say that I had mixed feelings about my visit to the Starbucks located at John Wayne Airport this past Thursday. My server was Robert, and he greeted me with enthusiasm and took care to listen to my special request (decaf with hazelnut flavoring and cream and sugar.) That's where the good times ended. I ended up with a perfect combination of flavoring with cream and sugar, coupled with what I have come to know from Starbucks ... a metallic tasting coffee which was not worthy of the price. Will I visit a Starbucks again? Yeah, but only in an emergency. I am just not a fan of the coffee.“

“Set up is like big living room, open concept. Couches, easy chairs and benches with power outlets. Natural light area. Music on the loud side yet you can still be heard. Atmosphere is not stressed even though it’s across from Santa Ana College. Service is friendly and open to answer questions. Drinks are handed to customers not just put out unlike other Starbucks in the area.“

“well, let me first say that I love coffee! served anywhere, coffee can only be a good thing! that being said, I do love Starbucks, you can go there and hang out, enjoy your friends and family, charge your phone, and sometimes you meet really really nice people. but I must say that some of the employees tend to look down on certain people. and that's not great. but that's only employees, you can determine the views and opinions of people. so you deal with it accordingly. but back to Starbucks Coffee House! my Starbucks is that I frequent and there are a couple here in St Petersburg Florida, they are always clean. they are always convenient. and mostly the employee are absolutely fabulous. I don't let a few opinionated and judgmental people defer me from the fact that the service is good and the coffee is excellent! I would recommend and as far as I know there are all about the same I would recommend any and all the coffee shops that Starbucks manages! comfort and relaxation and coffee, definitely come to Starbucks. 9 out of 10 times you will be most definitely satisfied!“

“Stopped by for a quick bite and drink and I got more than that! I was greeted by Lily right when I pulled up. She was patient with me and helped me with my questions. Then I was greeted at the window by Jose, with a smile! It feels good to encounter great customer service in times where it seems as though that touch has been fading! Thank you both Lily and Jose for making a difference today!!“

“This location is commonly mistaken for the Starbucks located inside the VONS across the street, and I happened to make the mistake couple nights ago. I’m kind of glad that the mistake was made and stumbled across this location because the baristas were awesome! Alessandro, Defy, and Jesse were the A team that night and made everyone feel welcomed and were super friendly! Would definitely visit this location more often when I’m in the area.“

“I had a great experience at Starbucks. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax or get some work done. My latte was rich and perfectly balanced, and the barista was friendly and attentive. The service was a bit slow during peak hours, but the quality of the drinks and the comfortable seating made up for it. Overall, a consistently enjoyable place to visit.“

“I recently visited the Starbucks in downtown Santa Ana, and it was a great experience! The location is perfect, nestled right in the heart of downtown, making it a convenient stop for both locals and visitors. The ambiance inside is warm and inviting, with good decor and plenty of seating. Whether you're looking to grab a quick coffee or settle in to get some work done, this Starbucks has the perfect vibe.

The staff here are friendly and efficient, even during busy hours. My order was prepared quickly, and the quality was good. The baristas took the time to ensure everything was made to my liking. Only negative point was that the store was not very clean.

What really stood out was the outdoor seating area, which offers a great view of the bustling downtown streets—perfect for people-watching or just relaxing with a coffee.“

“I came to this starbucks on harbor and McFadden on the 9th of December and I was greeted by the nicest smiles and welcoming employee by the name of Jawn he was in a great spirit and took down my order with all patience and even helped me order a perfect drink I seen on tiktok, I recommend this place to all people who feel the jitters ordering complicated drinks. The lobby was very clean with calming music and a chill atmosphere I will definitely be coming here again! Thank you Jawn“

“The lobby is closed for no apparent reason, they have no phone ordersBUT they had drinks ready pretty quick after the wait in line through the drive through.They were just as ordered, tasteful and well presented.So other than the inconvenience of not being able to order ahead through the app, I would definitely return“
