"Unfortunately this is the closet Starbucks to my job on the way to work"
"It's a big Starbucks with a lot of seating"
" Yay, I wrote to Starbucks, and the problem is being corrected"
"My daughter loves the tomatoe mozzarella sandwich"
"Can't decide between 2 and 3 stars: if you want to work/study online, bring a charged device as there are almost no outlets"
Unfortunately this is the closet Starbucks to my job on the way to work. I really do not like all the staff but there is two employees that are awesome. One is a male named Max ( they are lucky to have ) . He could run that place alone. He really knows how to work fast and still pleasant. The other is a Hispanic lady with curly hair and she is pleasant. The two blondes are annoying , rude , and unprofessional. There is one named Inga who gossips about other employees behind the counter in front of customers. Shows unprofessional behavior and bad character. Not mention she is unpleasant every time she takes my order. She always messes up my drink order. If she doesn't like her job she shouldn't work at Starbucks. That's what her personality reflects.
It's a big Starbucks with a lot of seating. However, they recently took out most of the power outlets along the walls so to plug in you have to squish into a big communal table and plug into an outlet on the floor (which is unpleasant, see next comment). The staff are super nice and the service is great but they need to hire more staff to help keep the place clean since it is always really really dirty. The tables aren't cleaned regularly (in the countless hours I've spent here I've never seen a table being wiped down), the floor is sticky and dirty, and the bathroom is gross (and doesn't offer paper towels, only hand dryers).
Yay, I wrote to Starbucks, and the problem is being corrected. I love a company that is serious about doing things well, when they break down, they fix it. That is Starbucks. Always great coffee! ------ 2018-01 Update: They close at 10 PM, however they shut down the oven at 8:45 PM, empty the case of bagels, cakes and sandwiches. So why should I come here. This is terrible customer service, they shouldn't get any stars. ---------- 2017 No whip cream. They ran out. Some drinks just aren't right if you don't have the ingredients. Not up to Starbucks standards. .
My daughter loves the tomatoe mozzarella sandwich. This location is always busy but they get the line out quickly

Can't decide between 2 and 3 stars: if you want to work/study online, bring a charged device as there are almost no outlets. Apparently the newish wireless phone chargers don't work either. Bad new for me since both my phone and Surface Pro were at 10% and 25%, respectively and I was hoping to spend 1.5-2 hours lesson planning. Also, I ordered a *tall* coffee frap, for both financial and caloric reasons. I didn't realize til after sipping on the frap that I had been charged for and given a grande. NOT returning here anytime soon.
Amazingly friendly staff (this seems to be a recurring theme at every Starbucks I've visited recently. The cashier was very helpful in helping me find the right drink for my tastes and even suggested adding the coconut milk — it was a great suggestion! Also, the restroom was really clean, in case you're curious about that sort of thing. I highly recommend this location.

Good amount of available parking in the strip mall parking lot.
As of 10/17/20, location has had 1 employee test positive for COVID-19 and exposed 6 other employees because he was asked to return to work even though he told his district manager he was exposed and before receiving the test results. Two additional employees who worked with the exposed individual are asked to take COVID tests again as of 10/19/20 and are also asked to return to work on 10/20 before they get their test results. Do better for your PARTNERS & CUSTOMERS!
Hospitality manager and person on the clock working completed my order and a great family matter the coffee mix was great and my lunch was toasted to perfection the sign looks great and I'm glad to have a bunch of options for you to create your own drink and I can't complain for them spelling my name correctly the first time:)

Great location and staff Very high peak during morning rush, great location on the way to highway 87 to 101+280 Expect about +15 minutes during morning rush, however. Used to have much shorter wait times before mobile ordering but still not bad. High turnover rate. This location seems to have trouble keeping their staff, so you're not likely to have a regular barista here for very long, which can lead to occasional inconsistent drinks.
I love going to this location, there's always great customer service and if they get an order wrong they make it again with no problem.

When customers experience a lifestyle they feel they belong than mission accomplished. But when another is different from the Starbucks click embrace them as there situation will become better and be able to return the love and support back to the business. Job well done!

When I got home with our mobile order, I was disappointed to find one sandwich was not what I’d ordered (sandwich was not what was listed on tag) and our coffees were luke warm. It’s very frustrating to pay for one thing and receive a less expensive item. They were busy and perhaps had new workers, but I guess I’ll just gave to check every time before I leave the store.
Never open on time in the mornings. Staff sometimes don't even arrive at the time of opening, then they take time to set up. People are standing outside in the cold and lot of them just leave, hence loss of revenue to Starbucks. Very sloppy and lazy staff. All the other Starbucks in vicinity open at the committed time. Poor service.
Very friendly staff. A bit of a rough location with many homeless hanging around the store. Having said that there is very little friction and tension. It seems that everyone goes about their business with ease. A great place to grab a quick meal. I recommend the egg bites, the spinqch feta wrap, and the mercato salads.
I liked the ice brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso a lot. They even made it decaf. The staff were nice and orders got ready quickly.

On October 13th coffee was watered down & my 40 points for adding $20 on my cell phone was not counted. Baristas we're pleasant & efficient. Starbucks sends texts in part congratulating for being a member for 10 years but it really 11 years.

The coffee is way over priced and sugary, but they really have the market cornered. I like their tea and coffee, but I know it's just awful for me. The employees are very nice, and remember my name when I go. The other people there are kind of snooty, but mobile orders are very fast here. It's quite efficient.
Great hours, friendly staff, lots of space & power outlets. Also plenty of parking. Edit: Since making my initial review this Starbucks has capped off all of the power outlets (making them inaccessible) making it a much less ideal place if you want to hang out and use your computer / recharge your devices.
1* Not ideal for laptop work. 5* for space and free parking 1* for limited outlets (they took out all the outlets along the perimeter walls, and the only ones left are 2 side by side floor outlets underneath the huge rectangular table) 1* for the too pricey bowl of salad, Lentil and Vegetables, for $7.45.
Friendly staff and clean interior. 3 people are allowed inside to order or pick up orders. No indoor seating. Masks are required and they have barriers between customers and staff. They will hand you your order instead of picking up your order yourself to reduce accidental touching of other orders.
5 Star service and people. Hands down my favorite Starbucks to sit and spend endless hours on the internet before Covid 19 hit.Just a really comfortable place I love the staff here their personable professional and they provide some great customer service especially Pauline she's the best
1. Always a lot of people, and a lot of them come to study or work so they stay a long time. Lots of seats and pretty big though, so you can usually find some place to settle down. 2. People here are always friendly. 3. Drinks are good, and the wait times are usually pretty short.
The personnel were extremely pleasant and helpful. This is going to be my Starbucks of choice. Every employee demonstrated wonderful customer service skills.

Great location! The drinks are made good and fast. Service is amazing and I could actually tell that the employees enjoy working there because it has a real community coffee shop feel. Even when they're busy they go out of their way to make a connection with their customers.
First time here. Clerk was very nice, acknowledged me entering the store. Her barista was awesome as well. This location is pretty spacious inside, huge seating area. Would totally come back here because of the positive vibes at this location and wonderful customer service.
Allows indoor seating, unlike the one at the plant, or the location on first street, has outlets 4 charging devices, roomy, unlike the other two locations, allows use of the bathrooms as well

Easy going staff, sometimes they get slammed and even ordering on the "app" doesn't make things go faster. But the place is always clean, you'll find your regulars sitting outside with their small dogs, and plenty of reading material in their newspaper bin.
Horrible service. We waited at curbside for 20 minutes until finally having to go inside to pick up our order, as did the car next to us. They had plenty of employees, so they weren't under staffed. 5 employees standing around ignoring their customers.
Very friendly staff and efficient servicing. I ordered five drinks and during rush hour and had them all within 15 minutes.

Perfect place to catch up with friends or business partners after a workout, as it is located next to a fairly clean and new 24 Hours Fitness club. In the evenings after 8pm, seating can become scarce but not impossible.
Location is perfect for the start of a road trip. Staff is quick and accurate when it comes to making my drink. The decor and furnishings are comfortable if I should choose to have a seat and stay awhile.
I used to come here a lot. I was very disappointed that they removed almost all of the power outlets that I was going to use 1 to recharge my phone while drinking coffee. I won't be back anytime soon.
Starbucks is where I go every morning!........So, without Starbucks my day looks like a pretzel! Starbucks has the MOST Mpexcellent coffee for a reasonable price nothing like the coffee feel good
Lots of people come here to get work done and they have great hours. Only con is that they need a makeover, the furniture is getting grungy. I like the couches but they look old and smelly.
This Starbucks is very big. I enjoy than there is a lot of seats inside. Along the walls and intend middle of shop. I do wish they had power outlets along the booth side of the wall.
very rude asian lady at counter today.. not helpful and extreme attitude. old and crabby. not returning. hire respectful people who are WILLING to help.

Staff is helpful. Plenty of seating. All of the electrical outlets have been covered with the exception of the ones under the large shared table. 7 outlets. Total.
The workers greet you at the counter, take your order.My coffee was great, & my pumpkin bread was warmed as I had asked.The Coffee house is clean & inviting.
Dissapointed in my drink, ordered a caramel frappe. Didn't taste like it at all ,it tasted more like water. ♀️, also long lines and no place to sit. …
I take 2-4 coffees a day. When I feel like Starbucks I probably come here.

This place is always great. After not having gone there for months, a nice girl barista knew my exact drink. That's pretty awesome. Pretty incredible!
I like the newer Ambiance at STARBUCKS Willow Glen Plaza. It has been over a year since I last visited this location. Stop talk over with Dear Friend
In comparison to other Starbucks I've been to, this place has a lot of comfortable seating and the atmosphere is quite conducive to working/studying.
Caramel macchiato was very good but the prices are kind of high.

Seems pretty busy during the weekends. And when it's hot and sunny outside, probably not the best time to run out of certain iced drinks.
Pretty solid opening hours, staff were friendly and their blonde roast coffee was quite nice! Lots of seating and parking available too.
Coffee was alright service was so so I had to ask to order my own drink when they see me standing there

Love the atmosphere. It has a large seating area with lots of various seating, wireless charging, and the staff here is very nice.
Hate this place. They prioritize mobile orders. If you walk in you wait and wait and wait. Coffee is burnt. It’s changed so much.

Nice remodel. Plenty of seating. This location is usually really busy but it was mild this visit. Service was as expected.
First time at this location. Huge sitting area inside. Very friendly staff. Not near my house but I'd come back for sure.
Outstanding but employees need to tell customer to follow the rule about making line. One customer at the time inside.
Love the employee's. Love this place. Everyone is so very kind and helpful. They are a very clean and sanitary place.
They do it well, my order is complicated and many places get it wrong, well not this group. Well done, well done.

It was early Christmas morning and the baristsb had the best attitude! Great service, great coffee.
Great coffee-very busy hip place in Willow Glen near my old neighborhood.Busy but fast&efficient.
When I ordered my drink from the app about 1 minute ago before I went in it was already done!
Great after Christmas sale prices, courteous staff, very helpful, enjoyed shopping today!
I must admit that I love Starbucks. I only drink hot chocolate or a vanilla bean frapp.
Standard fare but has more room Ambiance is great a place where you can sit and talk.
Don't like the taste of their coffee. It's too milky, and very dark roasted coffee
I always go there and visit new people I like spend my time In that place thanks
Really dirty Starbucks. Been in many places but this one is really unpleasant.
Great staff and good beverages. Never have an issue here and they are quick.
Needed Via Instants. Stood solo with no greeting. Service needs some work.
My favorite place to come get my energy white ice mocha great service
