Starbucks

Awful experience… from the overpriced coffee to their tasteless soggy pastries

Come here all the time. Awesome location!!

Three stars because the gentleman working the counter pays more attention to tips than how to properly spell my name. Everytime I come to this location, he spells my name incorrectly, which has me waiting longer as my name is not being called. Today, I even spelled my name, slowly, letter by letter, only for him to still misspell my name. Yet, he writes the amount of tip you leave on the receipt(for his records I presume). Focusing more on customer service and the correct spelling of one's name should be priority at this point.

Whatever happened to sitting at a cafe with your laptop and drinking coffee? That was my plan, but God help you if your laptop dies because there is no place to plug it in? There used to be outlets but they have been removed due to combatting the homeless problem at specific San Francisco locations. When did Starbucks start discriminating against people based on looks? If you pay for coffee, you should be able to have the same treatment at all of the locations. This arrogance and entitlement was sickening. What good is offering wifi if your power hungry device can't be turned on? And I was told this by a person of color, which you would think would be more sympathetic of discrimination. Discrimination is not how a company should battle any issue. You know we as a society, have become focused on Issues like Transgender, when we should really focus on basic human needs like shelter, bathrooms, and being able to sit and work at a cafe that supports being able to power your device to use the services offered. Anyways, Starbucks is not on my list anymore for a cafe experience. Try Philz coffee, the coffee is way better and they don't discriminate, and they have outlets.

There is no place to sit in this Starbucks .. which is strange . I mean you pay five bucks for a coffee to be able to sit, relax and may be get in wifi .. The coffee was really good Vegetarian options: Yes ..coffee is vegetarian:-) .. plus the have regular Starbucks sweets like banana breads , croissants and cookies ..

On 29 August 2023 at 8:29 am the store manager, Stacey, demanded that I exit the store because I was EATING AT THE STORE and "being disrespectful" to staff by questioning another staff member who also demanded that I exit the store because I ate the food, the Starbucks food that I just bought, a sandwich out of $150/week that I spend on their damn company, at their wonderful store. This Stacey further lied that "all San Francisco stores are like that". Really? all SF stores are eager to kick out their prime middle-aged lemon-wearing demographic for EATING? someone needs some training here, Laxman.
