“This morning I had the chance to enjoy an amazing neighborhood experience at the Starbucks on Montana in Santa Monica, CA! It’s almost like a “feel-good” movie! So many people come in for their pre-orders, some with dogs for their whipped cream “pup cups”, many with little children enjoying star stickers on their hands, or pre-school pencil packages. The
Baristas seem to know everyone. Everyone knows and often hugs them. It’s wonderful! I watched it unfold for two hours! Someone in the management of Starbucks should give some kind of recognition and/or an award for this extraordinary Starbucks location.“
“I was so happy to find this Starbucks. I was at a different Starbucks up the street but when I got there they just locked the door to close at 7:30pm on a Sunday. I wanted a frappachino and was heartbroken. But things turned around when I found this Starbucks was only a 7 minute walk away and opened until 8pm. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door by the warm friendly employees working. Both employees were fast and very helpful. I felt welcomed the whole time I was there, even though they were going to be closing soon. I never felt rushed. I got the drink I really wanted and was finally at peace.“
“The staff was really nice and even helped me make a random custom drink which was fun, gonna be honest the drink had a bit of a weird flavor but the thought was really nice. One of the employees, I think his name was Manny, made me a random drink when I asked him to surprise me and was really nice about it. The music and atmosphere was awesome as well. Edit: his name was Bobby, he was tall with curly black hair tan skin and dimples and he was super nice, employee of the year for sure.“
“I do strictly drive thru for this Starbucks, on the weekends. The line moves fast for the most part, and the service is very good. BONUS: this Starbucks is piloting a sustainability/environmental effort - all drinks (even iced) are served in cups made of paper (even the lids). I wish more Starbucks did this,“
“I have always seen this and always busy when I visit Ralph’s. But today, it is really cold and I need something to warm my cold hands and feet. First time, I order from this busy and small location.Arielle is professional and friendly. The first time I order, it is she and the other old gentleman who serve me and both are nice. The second time I visit, Arielle is the only one there to take order and brew coffee for me. I also find out that she likes video games, which is rare for females in my life circle. She is indeed unique.The coffee is pretty standarized and cannot duplicate at home even with my Breville. I guess I will just have to keep visiting Starbucks and accumulate my points. The place has only counter to order and the seating area is outside. Two times I visit, both are cold and raining, and that is just right for the hot coffee outdoor. Luckily, no one is smoking in the tiny area.Starbucks is not going to give you any surprises when you order. It is always good no matter where you go. And this why they are successful. And the location is really strategic that you visit supermarket, you get a chance to have good coffee.Today I visited again and had a funny yet busy lady who served me. She is funny and I had a very good and relaxed converse with her while I was waiting to get my mocha. Starbucks is good!I know understaff is a serious issue. This branch has been placing only one person here and it has been always slow when you have someone or more than one in front of you. It is taking very long time to get your order. I just waited 12 minutes for a cup of coffee and there was only one girl in front of me.Besides that, they also close early like 6ish pm.“
“This is a great Starbucks location! The team greeted me with a “welcome” as soon as my son and I walked through the door, which felt so hospitable.
Easy ordering. Fair prices. It was $14 for a pack of almonds, coffee beverage and spinach feta wrap. Clean restaurant despite this being a high-traffic area on Wilshire Boulevard!
And thank you to Sevenah for the friendly message on my cup! Efficient pick-up system led by Lynn. Everyone was smiling and working well together. This is clearly an awesome team!
Pro Tips:
- There is a variety of seating options, including counter and tabletop
- Ask for a ceramic mug or plate it you’re dining in!“
“Starbucks on 3rd Street Promenade is a super cozy stop right in the middle of everything. The team is consistently friendly and welcoming, and the service is quick even when it’s busy. Great place to grab a coffee or matcha, reset for a bit, and enjoy the Promenade vibe.“
“The energy here is splendid. Came with my fiancé today and omg I’m loving it. They do not have indoor seating. There are tables but you have to stand at them. There’s a ton of space inside now. Everyone inside was so full of life. The cashier was great. I really loved the ‘PEZS’ wall. That was so cute to look at while we waited for our order. We ordered a ham & Swiss croissant, iced white chocolate mocha, birthday cake pop, iced water, and a turkey bacon sandwich. All of them came out perfect and tasty the first time. We may be returning.“
“I love stopping here for a treat anytime I’m walking down Main or want to grab a quick coffee or snack to enjoy by the beach. Destiny is always so helpful and friendly, and makes my day extra bright (and also cappuccinos are top-tier! Even with almond milk the foam is always perfect).“
