Starbucks in Woodland Hills

“I drove down from Orange County to visit family and passed by this Starbucks because it was my go-to spot during my university days at Cal State Northridge. While Ventura Boulevard has changed a lot over the last ten years, this store still has the same familiar layout—which I actually appreciate.

The reason I’m leaving this review is that this was one of the best Starbucks experiences I’ve had in a long time. Having worked as a Starbucks barista for nine years, I really notice when a team is running smoothly. The staff here were polite, friendly, and highly efficient—restocking, refilling, cleaning, and staying proactive; actually running a ‘clean play’ instead of talking and being lethargic like other stores I’ve been to.

The shift supervisor on duty (I didn’t catch her name, but she had a very warm smile) was leading the team exceptionally well. Honestly, the last time I saw a Starbucks crew this efficient was in Japan. Kudos to this store—I hope the District Manager/Manager recognizes the excellent work this team is doing. Seriously.

For reference: 8:00 AM, Saturday 8/30/2025.“

“Great store unless the guy with silver hair and serious weird attitude is on register we actually watched him argue angrily at a girl who came in to grab her pre order coffee he kept yelling at her that she ordered a sandwich she said no sir just a drink he got loud and nasty it was bad he has acted like this many mornings otherwise this is an awesome fast clean effecient store“

“Let me tell you , Chris and the morning crew customer service was absolutely the best service I ever had…. No way this guy is that cool. Handled the situation like a true Human being and Boss . No issues and everyone happy. I love it ….Amy Tina and the rest crew made my day thank you Starbucks. Me and my family’s never going to another location Facts ❤️“

“The place is cool and clean, the service is so so, as the workers sometimes are not nice and not patient… and it feels they are stress and unhappy to work from some reason, but in general it’s a cool place and has a lot of place to seat with a laptop and to enjoy a coffee and conversation with friends over.“

“Staff is very welcoming and friendly! I am a little picky when it comes to my coffee, and I appreciate when they're willing to remake it, because it makes my day better and the drink is less likely to go to waste. When I think of Starbucks, this location simplifies my definition of it. :)“

“Every time I’ve visited this Starbucks, my drink or food item ( I love Starbucks breakfast sandwiches) has been ready right on time when I order online, and the staff is always friendly. I really like this location cause it’s clean, has outdoor seating, and is set in a nice outdoor mall, it’s a great spot to relax or take a quick break.“

“I stopped by this Starbucks location inside Target when I was shopping. This Starbucks is not that big but it works for them. I got an iced water and the staff are very nice here. They made my drink quick and I didn't have any issues while I was here.“

“This is a nice little Starbucks, but not especially accommodating for people with laptops, it's more of an in & out kind of place.It's in a strip mall, next to an anchor grocery store, parking is a nightmare, but if you're eastbound on Ventura Blvd then it's a convenient stop, notwithstanding the lack of available parking (as many spaces as there actually are), and of course, no drive-thru service available.“

“This particular Starbucks is located in the main lobby of a Marriott Hotel. The employees were courteous and polite. I order a hot vanilla latte with heavy whipping cream and it was made perfect. I also got the egg, sausage and cheese burrito which was very good and actually filling. I highly recommend both!

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a side door that automatically opens after pressing a button.“

“Ya know... This location is so hit or miss. The drive-through is *Always* staffed by friendly people. But I like to go in. Except... It seems like fairly often, there is some interpersonal stuff going on, and all of the inside staff is in a growl. Yesterday, I walked in, and there was no eye contact from any of the (six!) people there for at least 5 minutes. When I pointed that out to 'my' barrista, she just grunted. I don't know, maybe somebody had died that morning? But it's a fairly common experience - just at this location though. What's up?

I know it isn't anything to do with employee treatment, because when I ask how the unionization movement is going, they all pretend that they've never heard about it. Or maybe the workers at this branch are actually that ignorant of what's going on with their company....?“
