Starbucks - Yorba Linda

This Starbucks is a hit and miss. I keep trying To give them a second and third chance, since this is really close to my house, and use my app regularly, and when it says a drink will be ready at a certain time they never fail to disappoint! They're always running behind and saying I'm sorry. My daughter uses the app more than I do and often times will run late to school. I've decided this week I will go somewhere else. There's not a lot of parking and very difficult to get in and out but we always seem to manage and are patient. But when the app says our drink will be ready at a certain time we make sure we're there and we're always waiting about 10 minutes late. Sorry the service here has fallen short! It's great if you're not in a hurry or don't care about time, but if you don't want to be 10 minutes delayed then go somewhere else.

This store is purely for advertising reasons with Peet's a block away.

Ok! Maybe I'm late to the game, but when I first walked in I thought oops I entered the lobby of a clinic lol! I thought maybe I entered the wrong door, but this is Starbucks Pickup Store. No menu signs, no display of coffees, syrup bottles, nor food display case one would traditionally expect to see. It's minimalism at its finest! Just an LED screen that shows the status of your order. If you don't have the app, there are friendly baristas like Sera who are there to take your order. What an interesting concept for a well known coffee shop. Try it out and see for yourself.

It seems that they do not accept walk-in customers. They prioritize online orders over in-person orders, so if you walk in, be prepared to wait as they will make your order in line with all the online orders. When I went in the morning, they informed me it would take 10-15 minutes just to make my drink because they have other app orders to fulfill first. It is recommended to place your order through the app to avoid a long wait if you decide to walk in.

I was blown away by the stunning and one-of-a-kind interior of this restaurant! It's incredibly elegant and I don't understand why other places don't have similar decor. The drinks are consistently delicious and well-made. My personal favorites are the mango dragon fruit refresher and white mocha frap. The service is excellent as well, with drinks typically ready in 8-15 minutes and presented beautifully.
