Stopped here a year prior while in San Diego for a wedding. Gave them 1 star then for their terrible service. Stopped in again while in town visiting family hoping my last visit was a one-off. Well they lived up to my previous visit and all the 1star reviews. Who ever the regional or store manager is, they all need to be fired. Bunch of miserable people with bad attitudes working there. Like my previous visit, since it took 20 minutes to get a straight cup of coffee, I just observed the miserable staff members in action. They didn't acknowledge a single person that came through the doors. They talked to the customers like they were POS. They had six oxygen thiefs working and a seventh one running trash and the service still sucked. Easily the worst starbucks I have visited in the country including Canada. I don't know why they all just don't quit if they hate their miserable useless life's.
It's as good as any Starbucks, but since they give priority to the drivethru, the service can be a bit slow.
So, this is probably the worst experience I've had at a Starbucks to date. The bathrooms are locked, first off... It's not that different for anywhere in Escondido, but it's really unfortunate for customers just trying to have a good time. Ordered the Americano as I usually do, with cream on the side. Was charged $0.70 cents just for the cream. I wasn't supposed to be charged for that. Cream used to be free by the counter. On top of this, the coffee was watery, and when I asked about that, if they could make it stronger, they just passed it back to me the same way. If you want to spend time on your laptop, they do good to discourage that— all outlets are covered. Really, don't spend your money here, or even bother. Please let this be a warning.
Worst Starbucks in Escondido. Not all the workers are bad but there are a few that have bad attitudes which is funny considering they want tips. I tried to go back but they consistently make the drinks watered down and bitter and if you ask them to remake it you’ll get attitude and a drink that’s even worse than the 1st one. Good luck.
I have two little girls who and until today, when I have gone to Starbucks, they’d split their drinks between two cups. This one refuses to do that as of today and is closed randomly during the day and gets our orders wrong. I had continued to go because of the split drinks, but now I’ll start going to one of the coffee places on Grand. It’s unfortunate because its a convenient drive thru for me.
One of the worst Starbucks in Escondido. The drive thru line tales FOREVER! Spent like 30 minutes just for 2 drinks, with only 3 cars in front of me!!
