Starbucks

This Starbucks is one of the slowest Starbucks I’ve ever been to. My friend wanted a water while we were walking his dog along Santa Monica Blvd, and so I jumped in here just for a bottle of water. There were maybe three people on line, and I don’t know if they’re understaffed or whatever it is, but I stayed in line for 10 minutes and didn’t move an inch.
At the end of the day, if this place can’t serve customers, that I can’t really give it a good review. I have no idea if the coffee here is good or not, because didn’t matter what I was getting, I just walked out and went to a Walgreens across the street. No biggie.

Why have business hours and end up closing early ??? If you close at 8:30, people expect you to close at that time not earlier. I understand you have to clean but that’s your job. If you want HORRIBLE experience this is the place to go !

I tried out the new ordering option on my starbucks app with this location as I was headed to work at Cedars. I ordered just as I was leaving my boyfriends apartment and had him run inside to pick up the drinks. My app had told me the drinks were ready just as I got there (perfect timing!!!). But upon going in, my boyfriend said only my drink was made, not his. When he told them there should have been 2 drinks, the barista said no, just one… once he checked where the tickets came out, he realized it had jammed and our second ticket (my boyfriend drink) never came out. the barista was apologetic and made the drink right away, it was no more than a minute or two later that we had both drinks.
aside from that little mishap (which was not their fault), everything was perfect. our drinks tasted great… maybe better than i’ve ever had anyone make them before (an iced green tea latte and a salted caramel mocha). this will definitely be the starbucks i stop at in the mornings on my way to work now.

Small store and its street parking (I’m sure the garage next door has available parking, but since I’m usual there early in the morning the street Peking is easier). Only real negatives. Probably my favorite Starbucks, they always get my order right and the baristas are super peppy and enthusiastic in the morning. Even though it’s early, I always manage to leave with a smile.

This location sucks, the drinks aren’t as good here and neither is the service.

I have heard so much about Starbucks over the years, I finally decided to go in and check one out.
They serve a lot of coffee. And the people who make the coffee drinks here are called baristas.
I enjoyed my coffee very much. Not sure if Starbucks will be a success as a chain… I only saw five people in the shop when I was there.

Love this place, my neighborhood Starbucks that I frequent on the weekends when I’m off work. The staff sees me a lot and treats me like a neighbor, which is nice.

This shop is a friendly spot that is easy to park at and not usually crowded.
It is small however which makes it a quick stop rather than a place to sit and write or chat.

The tall skinny blonde actress that works in the morning should be fired. She’s a terrible human being and a terrible barista. She has yet to get an iced coffee right and she serves more attitude than coffee beans. She’s constantly in a foul mood and takes it out on everyone. There is no harmony in this unit and it’s a real pain in the ass to get what we want here.

I’ve worked across the street for two years and the Starbucks has been my savior at times. It’s small, so appropriately not packed with screenwriters or students. It’s a quick in and out pitstop on your way to whatever is around. There’s a barista there named Thomas who has this joy for life that is truly contagious.

The baristas behind the bar have no idea what their own codes mean. Ordered 2 SCM, Salted Carmel Mocha, and recieved Salted Carmel Macchiatos, disgusting. The barista insisted their was mocha in there despite there being no color. Tried them and no mocha at all.

A no frills location. If you’re looking to study and stretch out with your laptop for hours, this isn’t the place. Nor is it the place to people watch or casually lay out. There’s not enough space to do anything and the seating is limited, cramped, and claustrophobic. But that being said, the staff here are excellent. Particularly Steve, who is super understanding and has a great attitude to his job. They pop out the drinks quickly, even when packed, and send you on your way. For the most basic needs this Starbucks meets expectations.

As a Seattle native, I love Starbucks even if it isn’t the best cup of coffee. But this location just doesn’t have it going on.
The place is small and they are pretty inconsistent when making drinks. Sometimes they read the cup to make sure your order is right, sometimes they don’t. I hate sending a drink back, but I did when it was super bad and messed up. The girl working the counter looked at me like it was my fault and I had made the mistake.
On the plus side, the bathrooms are clean and it is in a nice location.

They have the BEST baristas ever! They are so friendly, they remember your order if you’re a regular, and it has a very communal neighborhood vibe.

The workers here are actually really nice and personable and remember everyone’s names and drinks. I see so any of the se people here everyday and the workersale their drinks as soon as they walk.
I am in and out in under 2 minutes, even during rush hour when its slammed.
Thanks guys!

Nice folks but location is too small with very little indoor seating. Outdoor seating is limited and too noisy. Need a bigger location.

If you’re looking to wait upwards to 10-​minutes to get a cup of coffee (yes, you heard me right: just a cup of coffee) then this Starbucks is the place for you!
If there are people in line get ready to either
miss your bus or be late for whatever engagement you’re going to because this place is verging on taking over 1^st Place honors for «Slowest Starbucks» in WeHo away from the one located on the corner of Santa Monica Blvd./La Brea Ave.

I will like to add that I LOATHE going to this location and any of the other restaurants in this food court because of the very pushy, very rude, very annoying people in the court begging you for your donations to whatever organisations is there at the time. I am not sure why they allow this, but some of the organisations there make it very hard to enjoy a cup of coffee.
Yesterday, some guy from a «sponsor a child» organisation barraged me, asked me to dnate, I said «no,» and he proceeded to tell me, «this will only take 40 seconds,» and kept talking while I was trying to get in the Starbucks. He was so pushy that I was about to sock him!
As soon as I came out he did the same, but 10x worse.
I asked him if he had a flier for his organisation and I would read up on it. He says that he had absolutely no literature on his said organisation. Yep. credible.
At any rate, the people who work at this Starbucks are great. The customers are not (read my previous review). The people on the outside trying to force you into donating to their cause need to be kicked in the nuts.

This is a great Starbucks.
It’s smaller than most as it’s on the busy corner of Santa Monica Blvd & Fairfax, but it still manages to have some indoor bar stool seating, and some tables outside.
Service has always been friendly and the baristas’ drinks are always spot on.

I always pass this cute little Starbucks on the way home, and I always think to myself how nice it must be to sit at the high chairs (yay, high chairs!) at the big open window and watch West Hollywood pass me by.
Well, I finally decided to venture on in. First, turning left into the parking lot is a nightmare. Mucho bad planning on the planners’ part, because unless you’re coming from the Hollywood Hills, you’re likely going to be driving north on Fairfax to get here, as was I. Another issue I encountered with parking: apparently you have to get your ticket validated if you want your free hour. Don’t even get me started on these stupid «validated» lots: it isn’t exactly hard for someone to walk up and down the street, pop into Starbucks for ten seconds, and get their ticket stamped — sorry, I said I wouldn’t get into it. Back to business…
Aside from the ridic parking sitch, which really isn’t Starbucks’s fault, this place is pretty chill. It’s quite small though. Good service. I seem to luck out with getting good service at Starbucks, compared to everyone else I seem to talk to; then again, preparing an iced coffee isn’t exactly genius-​caliber work.
I was provided with a bit of afternoon entertainment during my visit. The bum sitting outside (who somehow acquired a soda from Subway next door) spend a good twenty minutes arguing with, and then hitting, an invisible man, before he gave up and stormed away. Oh, relationships…
