Starbucks

wow for the 1^st time ever they are working fast!!! Good job apparently they have hired a good morning crew! LOVE IT! THANKS!!!

I go here a lot because I live close by. Man this place is the worse one ever. They mess up all the time and take forever and the drinks suck. I am done with this spot for sure and trust me don’t give it a try. They need a better staff.

I wanted my 100^th review to be a 5 star but oh well… sometimes life doesn’t work that way. The parking is atrocious here so if you’re handicapped you may need to go to a different location and if you’re not then just be prepared to walk. This is your typical chain and I keep coming back because I have yet to find their green and black teas that I can make at home. I guess I could stop being ignorant and just ask but then again It’s not just about the drinks it’s about going to a place where everybody knows your name. Well, not really (see picture). Actually I like to come here and people watch while I drink my tea and see what walks in. I love dinner, coffee/​tea, or drinks and a free show. Anyways, as I said typical chain store with below average to average service.

~~~Starbucks~~~
~City of Carson~
Located inside Target on Sepulveda in the City of Carson bordering Torrance. No trouble finding parking here w/​both underground and front parking lot.
There never seems to be a line here when I go. This Starbucks is always clean and the staff members are very cheery! Fast service, though this location isn’t high traffic compared to other Starbucks. I’m not sure if they provide their own free WiFi but Target’s free WiFi works great here! :)
It turns out that each Starbucks have their own promotions going on. I was at a different location this morning offering $ 1 bakeries w/​receipt from earlier purchase After 2pm. FYI, not at this location. *ALSO, I just found out my drink purchased here did NOT qualify for My Starbucks Rewards Star. If you don’t care about collecting stars towards a green or gold card for additional savings and free drink offers, come here.
Regardless, I like the peace and quietness at this location along with strong WiFi service so I will definitely be coming back… just maybe not as often… unless they keep up w/​the other locations and offer a star w/​every drink purchase.
*Edited my review after finding out most Starbucks inside a merchant shop doesn’t count drink purchase towards Starbucks Rewards Program.

This is the nearest Starbucks in my place, so can’t complain about that. But this place is always busy. Too loud inside if you plan on studying or some quiet coffee time. If you can stand California heat or winter, I’ll sit outside instead.
Good for on the go coffee. Fast service even on Holidays. But during rush hours or Holidays, instead of asking for names they skip it and it end up like a first come first serve basis which is very confusing and took a lot longer to get out of there because customers were arguing on who’s coffee it is… sometimes your drink will be touched by the lid by other people (gross) because they’re checking if it’s theirs or not. I wish they ask for names especially on busy hours.
On the upside, they can scan barcodes on android phones if you forget ur card.

This is a small location inside Target. I got my usual tall Iced Coffee with non-​fat milk & a shot of espresso. One of the baristas who was a Latina, was very helpful (she made my day)! I wasn’t able to get her name, but she should be promoted or given a bonus. :) I’m very glad Target has it’s own Starbuck’s. Very convenient for people who love coffee & shopping like me.

[[ Parking ]]
Located in Torrance Crossroads next to Mr. Pickles. There are some spots in front but plenty of parking close by as well.
[[ Pricing ]]
It’s Starbucks… it’s not cheap…
[[ Service ]]
Great…Baristas make the drinks correctly but what I like about them is that they know their customers well. I was getting drinks for one of their regulars and they knew her drink right away. the kind of cup she wanted it in, the type of frapp, the syrups, and extra toppings!!! They may be too chatty for some people but that is what makes them good at their job
[[ FINAL VERDICT ]]
One of the better Starbucks in the Torrance area…
