Starbucks

Overall this place is mediocre. There are only a handful of staff that do a good job– shoutout to the Caucasian male barista who always calls out your name and/​or the coffee he just made.
Management doesn’t seem to be as on point as any other Starbucks I’ve been to. They can get rid of a barista or two.
Good place to study. Parking is easy (there’s a parking lot but also metered street parking).
Only come here if I really need to make a stop. Otherwise there’s the Starbucks at the grove and the one on fairfax and Santa Monica.

Usually stop by here to grab coffee when I am near the area cuz there is ample parking spaces and large spaces inside which is packed most of the time … Today was different. I ordered iced americano with no water and extra ice
When I got my drink which they forgot to mention who the drink was for. Was sitting there on the country for few minutes while I went to check if it was mine!
Excuse me. It looks watered down coffee .whT?
One of the ladies asked if I wanted Another shot so I asked if she would do it for me. She took my drink and puts it aside and starts doing something else .lady if you weren’t gonna do for me then don’t ask!. And then disappear. Then the other guy comes and hands me the same drink and I asked if another shot was added and he says «ya»
Look at the pic (ice americano 6066)

Spacious Starbucks location. Parking lot bigger than most locations but still tough to get a spot sometimes. Plenty tables and seats inside. Great place to meet people and chit chat or even get some work done. Place is kept pretty clean. Staff seems to always be in a good mood here.

better than most Starbucks in LA because it’s big! it doesn’t feel cramped like a lot of Starbucks in town – lots of room to sit, work, etc. of course the menu is exactly what you’ll get at any Starbucks. for better coffee I recommend the cozy local coffee shop a few doors down (Paradocs Coffee) but when it closes at 6 this Starbucks is a solid second option and better than most in LA.

Well, you know, it is a Starbucks. But there are several plusses here over other Starbucks stores:
A parking lot with more than one entrance!
A friendly barista who likes to describe the flavors of the daily coffee offerings, & asks you your taste preferences.
They don’t care if I don’t know the fancy names for «small, medium & large.»
They are open pretty late.

Plenty of seating, and there’s a parking lot for you. It’s a small lot, but I always find parking. (:
Restrooms have a code and the guys who work here are full of enthusiasm and zest. Really chill baristas.
However, the internet is definitely shoddy. Took me forever to log onto their Wi-​Fi and I had restarted my computer several times.

Worst chai tea I’ve ever had. No flavor all water! WTH! I am so disappointed. I think the guy was new

This place is one of the biggest Starbucks I’ve found in Los Angeles. It has great seating and good lighting. It also has a decent sized parking lot and is pretty close to the LACMA. So, for non-​westside coffee shops, it has a lot going for it (sorry I try to stay close to the ocean, I don’t tolerate heat very well). It also seems to have some of the lowest functioning Starbucks employees of all the Starbucks I’ve visited throughout the world. Mid-​order, my barista cut me off and initiated a full fledged non-​urgent, non-​emergent, laughing conversation with one of his co-​workers. When my pastry was available they literally threw it on the counter, didn’t call my name or anything. I was only aware of it bc I was in a hurry. If I had been hanging out at a table indefinitely, the pastry would have sat on the counter indefinitely. I’m just hoping this one experience isn’t par for the course for this Starbucks. I now work in this area semi-​regularly so I’ll be back, and hopefully will have a better experience in the future.

Servers were kinda rude. Not sure if there always like this or what but they were not welcoming

OH SNAP! I am a neighborhood local, and this is my «home turf» Starbucks. It used to be kinda meh, with a lot of randoms in there. Then I just stopped going to it because Paper or Plastik stole my attention, but the recently went BACK to my old stomping grounds. UMMMM WHAAAAT? I walked in and did a triple take, it was like I went through a wormhole or something, it had been renovated! I didn’t even know!!! All of a sudden, it was all fancy looking, and super nice!
My only complaints are: parking, omg, still so tough to get a spot. Seating: I think because it’s the hotspot now, lots of people are parking themselves at the tables.
The baristas are about ⁷⁰⁄₃₀ on the friendliness scale, 70% friendly, 30% cranky. Hopefully the cranksters will eat some cookies and get a bit friendlier!
WAAAAAY nicer than it used to be though… now if I can only find a seat!

closed for renovations. (late october ’13)

I used to study at this Starbucks on a daily basis years ago when I wanted to be productive on a laptop and escape wifi (back when you had to pay for it here). As noted by other reviewers, this is a large store with many tables so you won’t feel bad for taking up the space. I also really liked how the staff was welcoming to certain homeless people who were regulars even though they only ordered hot water. I went back a few days ago after not visiting for ages (don’t really have a need for Starbucks apart from the study space since I do not drink coffee) and, though the staff appear to have changed, one of the regulars was still there! As Starbucks stores go, this is a pretty good one.

Stopped by here for a quick caffeine recharge. It’s located on a very busy intersection and the parking lot is TINY so it’s kind of hard to get here. The inside of the coffee shop is actually pretty big for a Starbucks. Although it’s huge, it didn’t look like there was a ton of seats and tables. A fair amount, but not quite utilizing all the space. It was pretty crowded for a Friday night with the usual coffee house crowd of students and couples talking over coffee. Pretty quiet though which I like. The staff were super friendly and really quick to get our orders out. Ordered just an ice coffee with caramel syrup and they put in an extra couple shots of flavoring so I was really able to taste it. Overall a good Starbucks, I would recommend.
TLDR: friendly staff, big interior, really small difficult parking lot

This is one of the larger Starbucks I can think of– it’s right at that tricky triple intersection of Olympic, S Fairfax, and San Vicente~
There’s a small lot in the back for parking. Key word: small.
Bathroom codes on both the mens & women’s restrooms.

best thing about this starbucks is the size. its nice and big so even in peek hours i can usually find somewhere to sit. so. its a good place for a casual business meeting. Worst thing about this starbucks is that you might have to drive through little ethiopia to get here (AKA traffic nightmare)

Talk about your MOM & POP coffee shop. It’s called Starbucks. I love they way they never know my name and when you order you have to speak their language. (Apparently, English is second… or third.) Anyway, If you like an expensive cup-​o-​hot crap, in a soul swallowing atmosphere, then you will love this little out of the way coffee house. Tell them I sent you. They will soooo not care.
