As others have said, parking is an issue but the staff here is very friendly and even when the line is long in the morning, it goes fast because they work fast!

My go to Starbucks! The only issue for me is the parking, I try to go as early as possible to beat the morning rush and parking fiascos. Other than that, the service is great!

No stars. My order got bumped by email /text orders and general disorganization. Too many menu options– too many accommodations to customers not present. This is a comment that relates to all Starbucks, not just this one. I only had 15 minutes on my meter and thought I could get a simple cappuccino — but I guess that takes more time these days. Goodbye Starbucks– you just lost a customer that has been with you since Seattle

Love this particular Starbucks. 1. Two blocks from my place. 2. The baristas are all friendly, helpful, know my name and know my special drinks. 3. The shop is small and busy but even with long lines service is fast. 4. If you have to drive, park on the street or in the lot next to the small center as the Trader Joe’s lot is always packed with TJ customers and is hard to get in and out of — fender benders everywhere. 5. The shop stays open until 10pm daily and 9:30 on Sunday

This location always seems to be fast & the staff is very friendly. Unfortunately the parking lot it shares with Trader Joe’s is a h*#% hole.

They close their bathroom an hour before they close… a man had to use the restroom, a customer who got coffee and write… they aggressively told him that he can’t use the bathroom… that after they sanitized it, he would unsanitise their bathroom… which is bullshit… they want to get out as soon as possible… they are concentrating on their preclude too early… they bring in all of their furniture early… asked a couple sitting and chatting to get up, that they had to bring the chairs in early, a damn hour early… really??? I hope the district manager reads and addresses this customer mistreatment

Very friendly staff, however something very strange happened with one of the employees. I ordered a venti latte and a warm old fashion donut, which I have ordered 100 times at Starbucks around the nation. I was charged for my order and while waiting for the donut, one of the employees dispatching the pastries and sandwiches refused to heat up the donut claiming it would break apart, which was not acceptable to customers. I explained to her that’s how I ordered every single time and that there was never an issue. Again, she refused to warm the donut up. So I was forced to order something else… One last point, that same day I flew to Chicago and the following day to Miami ordering the same thing, no issues warming up a glazed donut at either place. Simply weird!

After checking in last night, my Unilocal app said I became Duke and suggested I write a review so, here it goes… I used to really like coming here due to its convenient location right near Trader Joe’s. It gets really crowded on the weekends and seems to be like a neighborhood meeting place for locals. The staff is friendly enough and they sell the typical drinks and over priced baked goods found at most locations. They took out the four leather arm chairs though and replaced them with these community tables and stools. People used to gather there to talk but I guess that’s not gonna happen anymore. One advantage of this location is that they are open pretty late until 10:00 pm most nights except Sundays they close at 9:30 pm. That’s awesome for the South Bay since most places close earlier making it difficult if you want to go out later in the evening. Parking is street and in the very crazy parking lot where you drive through slowly hoping no car backs out into you. Free WiFi provided by Google. It’s a great place to come people watch on the weekends and walking distance from various establishments such as other eateries, banks, post office and grocery stores which makes this a convenient spot for a quick coffee break.

This is one of the best Starbucks locations in the South Bay. Even though they’re located in the busy Rivera Village and have a constant stream of customers, there is never a long wait. They are on it. They’ll get your order taken and made in no time and they do it with a smile. Everyone working here is so friendly and kind, they make you feel welcome. It feels much more like a family run, neighborhood coffee house than a worldwide chain.

The Redondo Village Starbucks on the corner of the bonkers parking lot. Of course you can park in the bigger lot, or the street parking, but I just like mentioning that the little parking lot is very poorly designed. This is a small Starbucks. The lines sometimes fills the store. There is not a lot of seating, so beware if you are going to hang out. Baristas are pretty good, no issues yet. Seems like all Starbucks raised their prices another $ 0.10 to $ 0.15 cents lately… I know it’s pennies, but nowadays a latte is running $ 4.40, which is silly for 2 shots of coffee and steamed milk. I usually get brewed coffee anyway, but when I cheat and go to the Caramel Macchiato it’s a $ 3 price difference which really eats into my Lululemon underwear budget. Plus if you drink too many lattes you cant fit into Lulu undies anyway… life is such a double-edged sword. Enjoy peoples.

Nice and convenient spot from the beach, parking kinda stinks though. Employees nice, and good drinks in a clean spot.

This place is no good. Why? I come in to purchase a coffee frap and the cashier ask me if i want whip cream and I tell her no. When the bartista makes my drink, she puts whip cream. I tell her no whip cream and you know what she did. She didn’t make another drink, she just took the whip cream off my drink and gave it to me. How dumb can she be when i was the only person ordering and can’t get the order correct.

The shape of this particular Starbucks can make moving around a little difficult(it’s somewhat narrow) but other than that it’s a Starbucks so nothing really changes. There are two options to enter/exit and that does make the transition nice. No complaints, I got exactly what I ordered without any delay. :D

Came here for an Iced Soy Chai Latte… they definitely got the ICED-SOY part right, not too sure what happened to the Chai! The only Chai flavor I had was from the after taste. I pretty much paid for Iced soy milk. Mornings here are very busy, so as of late, i’ve been opting to walk the extra half-block to Coffee Bean instead.

This is the location in the Village and I usually stop in here before heading over to Trader Joes. I found this location to be busy, but the staff was able to get me though the line in lightening speed. There are plenty of alternative snack choices(sandwiches and such) that looked very inviting. There are plenty of tables and seating for those who were there to compute the world’s woes away or those on a break between shopping. We sat outside which provided the perfect place for people watching and hot chocolate sipping. For those who grew up in the South Bay, you are fully aware of the parking. The parking lot is indeed small but, the turnover is amazingly swift. If you want to park in the lot, then just drive two or three times around and you’ll be able to find a spot. Many fail to mention that there is a HUGE lot across the street and you can always find parking there in a snap and wallk on over.
