Starbucks

Very nice! Great drive through service. Nice to have this in town.

I am the first to check in. Attending a pre Grand Opening” and this place is big even for a Starbucks. Looking forward to coming many more times. The manager, Michelle, is personable, experienced and showing the friendly confidence of someone who knows what she is doing. Great excitement. You can see it in the nervous energy of the staff. Opening nights are always fun.

First of all, people, let’s decide whether were are reviewing the free-​standing Starbucks store, or the Albertsons Starbucks… both in the same shopping center. I’ll go with the actual Starbucks store… although most of the employees are ‘newbies’, they have stood up to the challenge of a new, high traffic, store and are rolling in a positive direction. This location is huge… lots of booths and tables. I, personally, prefer more of the ‘lounge’ atmosphere. You have to ask for coffee grinds, although they have a dedicated bin. Best part… open ’til 10pm! BTW: ALL Starbucks drive-thru’s close the store at 9pm… You can drive thru only from 9−10pm. Thanks, Howard, for opening in Fallbrook!

Stopped in on Thanksgiving day — so conflicted because while I was two seconds away from a sure fire caffeine headache and thrilled they were open to save me, I was also bummed out for them having to work on a holiday.
They were cherry enough about it though, so Starbucks, I’m both thankful for you making my brain not explode pre-​feast and also thankful for our employees — who, even on a holiday, spelled my name right and provided service with a smile.
This particular location is rather large! Plenty of room to study and hang out too. Fallbrook is putting on some big kid pants lately, Starbucks are usually a sign of city growth — so snag up that real estate everyone. The tell tale premonitions have begun.

Oops I meant to review the other location but this one is good too.

Slow workers, horrible customer service.
You can’t redeem or charge using your cellphone.
I waited while the girl made two fraps and an iced coffee before my drink, when i was ahead of those orders. They didn’t even give a crap about their line or their customers.

Couldn’t redeem free drink here.

This Starbucks is housed in an Albertson’s. We were coming home from Julian and right before Fallbrook my BF asked me to look and see where the nearest Starbucks was. This was the one. This was a fail.
If you are driving up the 15 freeway like we were, STAY ON THE FREEWAY and wait til you get to Temecula. If you decide to go to this Starbucks, you will exit the freeway and then drive for what seems like an eternity down a windy, dark road (well, it was night) just to find out you are being led to an Albertson’s. Don’t do it!!!
Okay, their location and the fact they are in a grocery store aren’t reasons to knock them. But these reasons are:
The employees are beyond slow.
I asked the cashier for a hot chocolate and he said «is that the kind without coffee?» Wow.
My BF’s drink was «disgusting,» he said the coffee tasted old, and we ended up going to a drive through Starbucks in Lake Elsinore and throwing his Fallbrook drink away.
I’m sure if you are local, this place makes sense, but it is totally not worth stopping if you are looking for caffeine on a long drive home.

This isn’t really a real Starbucks it’s just an in-​store Starbucks stand at Albertson’s. I couldn’t complain too much because it is the only Starbucks in Fallbrook! However, the lines are always long and they are slow since they only have 2 employees there. But– worst of all– is they don’t take Starbucks cards on your cell phone which is the only thing I use for paying and earning my stars.

Most of the people who work there are very courteous. But there is one young woman who pretty much ignores what I tell her. I got a free coffee once because she messed up my order. Last time, as I was telling her my order, she looked away and carried on a conversation with a co-​worker. Not too professional.

Great costumer service, my coffee is always made right!

This is located inside the Albertson’s store. I passed it up the first time because I was looking for a stand alone Starbucks. They DO have a tiny SB logo in the Albertsons sign but llike I said I was looking for the familiar SB stand alone shop so I completely missed the tiny logo on the sign and drove right by. Once I found it though all was good. The barrista was very cheery and helpful and the coffee was hot and fresh and thats what counts.

Mostly typical in-​store Starbucks. However, the barrista here forgot to offer to rinse my cup before filling it. I had a taste of yesterdays coffee with my morning brew. ;(
The Albertsons self-​serve donut aisle is very near with 0.75 donuts. yum yum

This Unilocal listing is so misleading.
It’s not a stand alone Starbucks; it’s in Albertson’s. But, it is the only Starbucks in town which makes it special.
I’m sure you can get coffee anywhere else in town, but with the hours that Starbucks keep, you can bet this store will remain open beyond the others found in town. LOL
