Great Starbucks that can get extremely crowded. This place manages to push more drinks out than I have ever seen a Starbucks do. This particular location always has items in stock and the staff is extremely friendly. If you want quality and consistency with your Starbucks beverage, this location is a great option for you. Pros– Service Location Outdoor pet friendly seating Promptness Item selection Consistency Wifi Cons– Crowded

They’re quick! As busy as it gets… i have never waited more than 3 – 5 minutes for my drink. All the staff work together to get orders in and drinks made while being friendly & cheerful too #TeamWorkMakesTheDreamWork. I pass by 2 – 3 Starbucks on my way to work and i only stop by this one.

Horrible service! This Starbucks is inside of Von’s and I will NEVER go back! I ordered and paid for a caramel frappuccino and once I went to the pick station I realized there was a new caramel frappuccino crunch, so before the male barista started to make drink i asked him about this new drink he explained it was a seasonal drink and said nice can I have That instead, I will pay the difference? He said yes but u have to get back in line I looked at the line and there was 5 people waiting in line now but I did as I was told waited and finally reached the femAle barista and I explained to her about the drink she said ok and then returned my original caramel frappuccino and charged me the 30 cent difference on my debit/credit card? I mean I don’t mind paying but to make me get back in line after I already for 10mins and charge me .30cents and 15 minutes ago I just witnessed you give $ 5 coffee beans/grounds away for free to a lady that had to wait for you to get containers for 2 minutes is absolutely beyond me and disrespectful I would like to think it was not racially motivated but I definitely got that vibe?! Starbucks really need to be careful where they put their locations and who monitors their employees work ethic and integrity!

This particular Starbucks location is inside the Vons, not the one on 7680 el camino real(which is what all the reviews are for and the pictures). This location doesn’t have outdoor seating so just be prepared there are two Starbucks on El Camino Real in Carlsbad. I’ve been to the Starbucks inside the Vons only a few times and have never been disappointed. Friendly service and right next to Cinepolis.

It’s true that this location is always crowded, but my order is always out quickly. The patio out back(between Starbucks and The Broken Yolk) is quiet with plenty of seating and nice trees. A lovely place to sit and enjoy your coffee.

This Starbucks is always crowded. Do expect a long time if you come here during morning rush hours. Staff is very friendly and helpful. There’s not enough seating inside but plenty of outside seating. I asked for an extra, extra hot cappuccino and it was made right.

staff is friendly. it’s a starbuck’s. though, it’s ALWAYSCROWDED. there’s always a line because there are so many people shopping at the outlets. That basically covers it. You know what a Starbuck’s is, you know how things will taste, you know the products you can buy, generally the staff is friendly, and it is what it is. yep.

I go to lots of different Starbucks daily, including this one, but will not be returning… the woman working the register not only got my drink wrong(probably because she was chatting with co-workers) but when I GENTLY corrected her, she told me I was wrong. Then when a co-worker corrected her, she not only rolled her eyes at me, she proceded to make a joke about me to the other customers in line as I walked away. They laughed, I was mortified, all I wanted was my coffee. Shame on you Starbucks for employing such a snarky, rude woman.

I prefer the Starbucks on Paseo del Norte but if ya need a caffeine fix in the afternoon, you’ll probably do better at this one, ’cause there’s no parking in the Paseo del Norte shopping center. In this shopping center, the Starbucks is squished in the corner and the parking isn’t great but it’s doable. Granted, it’s a pretty small locale and does take awhile when it’s crowded. But that seems to be the hallmark of Starbucks. Nearby is the The Broken Yolk coffee shop where you can get a decent breakfast(after you wait awhile). One big plus: There’s quite a bit of outside seating on a nice, large patio with a view.

I like this particular starbucks because the staff is more friendly like behind the counter of a loca shop. The only thing that’s annoying is the ‘coffee rush hour’ line. It’s a smaller space than your average Starbucks with only 1 – 3 people working at any given time so even having a few people ahead of you can seem to take a while. I also love that they don’t give me a dirty look when I ask for a medium mocha…

wow i’m suprised at the other reviews of this starbucks. I’m not a big fan of starbucks but I enjoy going to this one because of the employess. Everytime i’m in line we joke around and I know that’s not why people go to starbucks but it’s an added plus. I’ve never had any problems with my drinks and I go here at least 10 times a month.

It’s starbucks and thats what you’re there for. If you’re there for anything else you’ll be disappointed. The staff is kind of slow. If there’s a line of more than 2 people you can expect to wait for at least 10 – 15 minutes for your drink. I only come here if I’m already at Vons, otherwise there are much better options out there for your coffee fix.
