Starbucks in Studio City

“This is a nice clean location conveniently located inside of Ralphs. Coffee and shopping? Yes please. Definitely stop by instead of going to the stand alone one located in the plaza. Not having a long line, having your drink made just right and once again cleanliness is why I am taking the time to write this! Also Claudia and Mojan were the baristas and they were very cool. I wish these two ladies all the best and two thumbs up for this spot.“

“There is a new girl working the cash register that clearly needs to be retrained. She has a dyed-blonde ponytail and messed up my receipt, badly. She charged me for 5 espresso shots when they should not be costing anything (3 included and 2 were paid by my Star rewards). I had to call over a manager and the woman didn't even apologize for messing it up, she kind of just stood there and watched me. She is clearly frazzled by the whole atmosphere and should not be working at Starbucks. I didn't get her name because I didn't bother to. She has one crossed eye is all I remember. This is my favorite location, so I hope the service is fixed by somebody else.“

“Small location with minimal seating. There was no place to sit initially but luckily someone was leaving and my party was able to snag a chair from another table where only one person was siting and allow the two of us to sit.

Starbucks apparently is moving away from these tiny stores that don’t allow people to engage with the space. Hopefully they will but I’m convinced most people have moved away from the desire to sit in Starbucks for meetings, dates, studying or working in the field.

I actually don’t enjoy coffee, it makes me feel jittery, but their iced tea was great. The person I was meeting wanted to head back to the office because he found the space too loud. For me it was fine but I can see where it’s not the most quiet and the sitting is so cramped you can hear the other tables conversation. So if you need privacy this isn’t the best option.“
