Came in and Rae at the register was a class act along with Francesca asked me to wait at the register she will have my coffee right up. Then I asked Francesca if she could make my bagel extra toasted after bringing it back to her she said I'll make another one and called me over to see if the extra toasted was ok, I said perfect and just can't say enough about the whole crew. The place was very clean warm hospitality. I wish the Soledad Starbucks were retrained by this crew starting with their shift leaders Celes in Soledad

I came here on 7/22/22 and it was great! The lady at the register was very nice and helpful. I tried a new drink which was probably the best Starbucks drink I’ve ever had and my mom got a vanilla sweet cream cold brew which she liked as well! Overall I had a great experience! Here is the drink I ordered: Grande (medium) vanilla bean Frappuccino w/ -2 pumps caramel, -3 pumps toffee, -java chip topping, -cookie crumble topping It is delicious and you should try it!

The store manager is the kindest, nicest, friendliest I’ve ever encountered. She truly cares about her customers. This is a rare quality these days! In addition to her top customer service. I noticed upon arriving are work she was out cleaning up trash, before she even took off her personal belongings. Super Star!!!

I was greeted right away upon walking in. The layout here was different compared to other locations I've been to. It felt like a hallway upon entering. A few steps in is pick up for your order. You keep walking, that's where you place your order. Further down to the right was the restroom. The restrooms were decent. they could use some cleaning. The restroom floor by the sink was wet. One restroom was out of order, but I think they use it for employees only. My order was ready super fast, and pastries were fresh. Overall, it was a great experience. This might be my new stop when going on road trips.
