Starbucks - Aliso Viejo

Very clean and fun place to sit and watch people come in and out.Kid-friendliness: Ordered Java chip Frappuccino ….it was excellent made to order. Kids came in with parent sat down and seem to be having a lot of fun grabbing cups off the shelves while dad was trying to put them back.

Post-COVID, Starbucks is no longer the second place Howard Schultz aspired for it to be. The atmosphere used to he cozy. Retired guys chatted in comfy chairs. Students studied together at communal tables. Now it 's cold, loud, bright and hard.There are no cozy chairs to sit in--only wooden chairs and small cafe tables. There are no communal tables to plug in and study. I 'm sure it 's much easier to disinfect, but the place screams, Get your coffee and get the heck out. It 's as inviting as a sterile operating room.This was my daily local for a decade. I knew the staff by name. Now, I have a nice machine at home and enjoy my latte on my cozy sofa. And, no, I don 't use Starbucks beans. I stop by this location less than once a month.

Thank you so much to the sweet guy who helped me out today. He hooked me up with a second drink since I had been studying there for a while. It's for my dad, he's been looking forward to it after working outside all day. He says it's delicious. Thanks for doing something kind today!

Service was beyond horrible especially from the cashier! She made me feel that i didnt know what i was doing in regards to paying! I have never been treated disrespectfully especially from someone whom im purchasing products from! Also it seemed as if she didnt want to work there with the way she lacked on her customer service skills!

Yes, it is Starbucks where you can enjoy your cup of coffee in the fastest and most convenient way. Love the service and atmosphere here, connecting to nature.
