We came in here and my daughter wanted to spend some cash to buy herself a treat and they said they do not take cash. I questioned that and they confirmed it. I can’t remember the last time I went to a business that said they do not take cash, especially a big business.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem at the Zoo!
As one of the top reviewers in the nation, I’ve visited Starbucks locations from coast to coast—and I have to say, the Starbucks tucked inside the San Antonio Zoo surprised me in the best way possible.
Before stopping by, I noticed the location carried a 3.4-star rating. I’ll be honest—I almost let that sway me. But I’m glad I didn’t. My daughter and I were feeling a bit parched from walking the zoo grounds, and their Summer Refreshers saved the day. I enjoyed my go-to favorite, the Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher with Lemonade, while my daughter couldn’t stop smiling with her Strawberry Matcha Fusion. Both drinks were perfectly chilled, balanced in flavor, and crafted with care.
The staff was upbeat, kind, and fast—even with a line of guests behind us. The baristas were engaging, and despite the hustle of the zoo, they created a calm, friendly vibe.
Don’t let the rating fool you. This location is a cool oasis in the middle of your zoo adventure. 5 stars from me—no hesitation.

Usually not a very welcoming Starbucks, but today takes the cake! Horrible attitude to ask a pregnant woman get off a chair on the patio because you’re “prepping to close”, it’s 5:15 and you close at 6:00 PM. Grabbing the chair under me then proceeded to be on her phone for a good while instead of “closing”.

Exact same smell and menu as all the other Starbucks in the country. But this one is right outside the zoo! Staff was friendly, and i think they were training. Service for the second drink was much longer than it should have been.

The restrooms are super dirty, and the trash is full as well as the lobby. Everyone is just standing around and on their phones. And what they are doing is judging people as they are come in.

Great place, very clean. The only drinks, besides water, that are allowed in the zoo are from Starbucks.@memerios102081
I paid for a Trenta and got a grande because I don't like ice in my drink they chose to give me a grande!! When You pay $8.00 for a drink you think they could fill it up regardless if you ask for ice or not. I order this drink ALL THE TIME and this is the only Starbucks that has done me this way! Their reply was sorry that's the way we are told to make it! They were not even nice about it. Won't be returning to this Starbucks!!!

This is the slowest Starbucks in the world. I caution you to bring lots of supplies before entering. I tired shouting Jumanji but it didn’t work

Would not recommend this location to anyone, and I won't ever return to it either. The staff are either rude or completely indifferent to customers. I brought in a clean, personal cup to get my drink made in, and the employee at the Register looked at it with disgust and went to get a ceramic mug that she asked me to place my cup into because she wouldn't touch it. The mug she asked me to put mine into was dirty with some pink liquid inside, so I told her it was dirty and she just walked away with it. She then came back to the Register with no mug, and I again tried to set my cup down, to which she said, "Oh, they're cleaning it." When they brought back their ceramic mug for me to place mine into, it was very wet inside, so now I had to put my mug into a wet mug. All in all, terrible service. And to make it worse, the prices here are higher, and they dont give the personal cup discount like other locations,
