Comment: This is an impossible Starbucks. No parking, drive thru is a mile long and inadequate staff to speed this up. Avoid this location if at all possible.Whoever approved this in the planning department should be fired

Comment: Baristas cant even make a new drink if you dont like what you order? Worst experience, thinking that starbucks has the best customer service. I ordered a drink didnt like it due to not much sweetness and baristas declines to make a new drink and expect me to pay again? Not even a manager is able to come out and speak with me after asking for one. Make sure to order your drink right or expect to pay again.

Comment: As a self-proclaimed coffee enthusiast, I frequent Starbucks on a regular basis and have come to appreciate the consistency and quality of their coffee offerings. Whether Im in need of a morning pick-me-up or a midday caffeine boost, Starbucks never fails to deliver on both taste and experience. Heres why I keep coming back for more:**Variety of Options:**One of the things I love most about Starbucks is the wide range of coffee options available. From classic espresso-based beverages like lattes and cappuccinos to seasonal favorites such as pumpkin spice lattes and caramel macchiatos, theres something for every palate and preference. The ability to customize my drink with various syrups, milk alternatives, and toppings allows me to tailor my coffee order to my liking, ensuring a personalized and satisfying experience every time.**Quality Ingredients:**Starbucks prides itself on using high-quality, ethically sourced coffee beans, resulting in a rich and flavorful brew that never disappoints. The attention to detail in crafting each beverage is evident in the smooth and consistent taste of their coffee, making every sip a true delight. Additionally, the option to choose from a selection of premium teas, pastries, and snacks complements the coffee offerings and adds to the overall experience of indulging in a treat at Starbucks.**Convenient Locations and Atmosphere:**Starbucks widespread presence in various locations makes it a convenient go-to spot for grabbing a cup of coffee on the go or meeting friends for a casual catch-up. The cozy and inviting atmosphere of Starbucks stores, with their comfortable seating areas, ambient music, and friendly baristas, creates a welcoming environment that encourages patrons to linger and enjoy their beverages at their own pace. The opportunity to work or study in a relaxed setting with access to free Wi-Fi further enhances the appeal of Starbucks as a versatile and accommodating coffee destination.**Customer Service:**The customer service at Starbucks is consistently top-notch, with baristas who are knowledgeable, attentive, and eager to ensure that customers have a positive and enjoyable experience. Whether Im placing my order at the counter or using the mobile app for pickup, I always receive prompt and friendly service that adds to the overall satisfaction of my visit. The baristas willingness to accommodate special requests and provide recommendations based on my preferences makes me feel valued as a customer and keeps me coming back for more.

Comment: I was delighted by the customer service I received this morning from Nate and Sofia. Even though they seemed slammed with mobile and drive through orders, Nate took my walk in order with expediency and a smile. They paid personal attention to me and the other guests I saw waiting for their mobile orders, and got me my drink (with all of the customizations correct) much faster than I expected given their rush.

Comment: I am very disappointed in the manner that I was treated at this Starbucks location. I wish I could give names, but the employees never wear nametags. I have been blatantly disrespected with comments made to me regarding simple things like asking for a straw or to check on my mobile order. I understand that this location gets very busy, but I have never been treated this badly by any other Starbucks in the area!They constantly and often drop food and then proceed to pick up and put it in the oven to cook. All of the order stickers seem to be out of order and as a result, Ive watched as many people have to ask for the status of their food/drink and then are snapped at by the employees. I have no idea what is going on at this location, but it is not the same as it used to be. Im very disappointed and would rather drive the extra time to a different location.

Comment: The last 3 times Ive come here, including tonight.. theyve closed 30 to 40 minutes early.. but the last 2 times, Ive called before hand to see what time they were closing to avoid coming on a night they close early... and each time theyve said 10pm over the phone. And I also ask the barista at the cashier before I order something.. and both times they said 10.. and both times, including tonight they still closed early lol. 🙃 and each time I come at night its super packed so I usually wait like 15 to 20 minutes to get a seat.When I brought it to the staffs attention tonight, and tried to tell the person I asked in person about my complaint she and another barista both tried to gaslight me like if I had the issue lol 🙃 I wasnt cursing or yelling or being rude or nothing. I was just bringing it up to them and they literally rolled their eyes and just walked away as I was talking to them. Crazy lol.Supervisor on shift was nice tho.. I just wanted to address my issue and she was professional so thanks 😌 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Comment: This team kills it! I place a mobile order a lot of mornings and drive 5 min over, and it’s always ready when I arrive. With such a high volume of orders in the morning, you’d expect to need to wait once and awhile. But everything is always ready and always correct. Great work!

Daphne was next too her so I asked daphne instead to correct it and she was worse she gave it to another Employee and was like just scrape his Whip cream off and they gave it back to me Wrong still had whip. I looked at Viviana and Daphne and they were laughing behind there covid Masks ... WHAT LOW LIFES BOTH OF YOU ARE .. ILL SWITCH TO COFFEE BEAN FROM NOW ON .. BYE STARBUCKS.

Comment: Im sorry to say this but this is the worst Starbucks in town. The drive thru can be convenient but it causes so much traffic in such a small area. The drinks are so inconsistent here and the staff is not always the friendliest. I love that its open late but customer service is important to me and this place lacks good service. Also the parking lot is awful.

Comment: There is this one specific girl who always has a bad attitude every single time I’ve been here when she’s working. She’s always so blunt, impolite, and so inconsiderate. She was working on July 5, 2023 at around 3:55pm-4:30pm(turnpike). I never caught her name but there have been multiple instances where she has to comment on everything. For example, I ordered on the app, I live about 15 minutes away. I assumed it would take longer to arrive because there was so much traffic. I arrived there about 15 mins and she told me “next time give us at least 15 mins to make your order” I apologized and stated that there was a lot of traffic so I expected to arrive later than earlier. She then said something along the lines of, “I don’t care just don’t do it again,” and rolled her eyes. She’s had a nasty attitude every single time. I’ve worked drive thru before, I know this kind of job is difficult but for gods sake, if you can’t handle customers or doing customer service, don’t do it!

Comment: Unfriendly staff, I let my youngr friend use my app to order drinks. It was her first time doing it. She had confessed to messing up and got the timing off. And the barista made her feel really bad and made her tear up. I understand being a barista is stressful but doesnt matter if the timing is off. Telling someone that they should have timed it better isnt going to make the drink not have to be made.

Comment: Just 1 star for the sheer fact that this place is never open. I’ve never seen a Starbucks close so many times for either staff reasons or meetings “during normal business hours “ as this location. Mobile ordering is pointless, I order 15-20 minutes prior and yet I still find my self waiting for my order when I arrive at a not busy store…. Do better

Comment: Rudest barista ever ! It is 4/26 about 10:10pm turnpike location in Santa Barbara CA and they close at 11pm, drive thru, someone must have had a bad day to give this horrible service, no greeting and before work i tried to order a drink and snack but asked to see if any sandwiches were left and was told “no I don’t have any food, what else you want” so I said o sorry and was told “was else you want” and decided I don’t want anything, I know they have something, even prepackaged Rice Krispies or those prepackaged Madelines, but to get this type of service is just not called for. DO BETTER ! You have almost a full hour before you close and you just are tired and crabby but you don’t treat customers like this.

I don’t know if it was her frustration, but my egg bites were just thrown in the bag and my drink was missing the chocolate sprinkles which isn’t a big deal. I’m just disappointed in their customer service.

Comment: A new Starbucks, a drive through, which is great. But omg, they are SLOW. Yesterday it took them a full 5 minutes to simply pour me a cup of dark drip coffee. As I sat at the window, already paid. I suppose they had to brew a pot to accomplish this? I finally hollered in that Pikes was fine, just hand me something!The little girl who eventually showed up was all wiggles and smiles, we got your dark roast!!! So proud!!!Id give that a pass, but I have been going here a lot, and they are consistently off. Today, they were out of most breakfast sandwiches, so I ordered the egg bites. 4 cars ahead of me at time of order. Get to window, get coffee, wait. Then asked to drive to the front so someone can bring out the egg bites. Wait another 6 minutes. Seriously? Then watched a young man roam from car to car, holding them out, did you order these? Apparently no one thought to identify my vehicle. And no, there was no one inside, and obviously no one ahead of me. A 30 second task required about 15 minutes to accomplish.In addition, when getting a refill, the girl demanded my Starbucks card to scan for payment. I said no, Im trying to hand you 50 cents. She stared at the coins, not moving, apparently not comprehending. All of this and more, after at least 10-15 visits, is whats happening here.All delays were blamed on mistakes. Right. No kidding.Be prepared to wait. And wait. And do check your order. 😳

Comment: I am so upset I think this Starbucks is very messed up because I went threw the dive threw and my husband forgot his card they never told us and I came in I asked for my card back and the guy said he would bring it out side to me I was already inside I asked nicely and he yelled at me and the way he handed my food to me was so bad I payed 40 dollars and he almost dropped my food he was mad and I don’t understand then he gives me the food and he slams it into the shield inside of Starbucks I’ll never ever go there again

Comment: This drive thru has now been there for 1 year. Its been a touch and go process. The staff, at times, is great. But then they can be really lacking and messing up orders.Going in and ordering would be your best way but due to the covid virus, its not recommended.Just expect average customer service so you dont get disappointed.

Comment: The SLOWEST Starbucks - if your offer drive thru you need to be QUICK! Literally the slowest one, you’re better off finding parking and going to one downtown SB, it would be quicker.

Comment: I love starbucks, but this time I went I was disappointed. Such a long wait and when we finally received our drinks one of the cups was cracked. It was spilling on the side through the crack making a mess in the car. I usually dont complain, but it was not worth the wait.

Comment: Starbucks is great and I love the drive-through, but if youre in a rush, just order using the app and pick up inside. That said, I love our drive-thru! Santa Barbara was ready and over due for one.

Comment: Terrible service to recieve your coffee,Took 30 minutes for some peopl to get their coffee . 20 min.in I asked for a refund, thats way to long to wait for a latte .They have 2 aisles working 1 for drive thru and 1 for walk ins . The girl that was making the coffee for walk ins goes andhelps the drive thru line and leaves noone to make the coffee in the walk in line . Definatly need to hire more staff.Terrible Terrible Terrible.

Comment: This place just opened two weeks ago. It is a really nice Starbucks with new floor plan and drive-thru. It seems this Starbucks is part of a multi-level building and not just to stand alone store.

Comment: Great new addition to SB/Goleta. Finally have a drive-thru coffee option after decades of lobbying. Plenty of outdoor seating, but a bit limited inside.
