Starbucks — Restaurant in Arroyo Grande

First, the staff I met was kind and helpful and amazing. What I am getting ready to say is not about anything they did or do ... they can only serve the products they are given.

The food was unfit for humans. The english muffin surrounding my sandwich was gooey and spongy. The egg was made factory style. The bacon was tasteless. Clearly a meal designed to enrich shareholders.

The drink was novel (red dragon fruit with mango blended with water over ice for nearly $6). It was also just flavored water with a few tiny slices of dragonfruit (hence the novelty) cut up in it. Being from a place where both of these fruits grow wild on the side of the road. I can assure you this drink did not contain fresh anything. It was terrible.

The internet speed (and I was the only person using a computer) was only 3 Mb and I had to given an email to use it.

Before I moved to asia I swore I would never step foot in a Starbucks again. Now, many years later, I decided to try once more. I could never have imagined it would get worse.

The place was empty and I suspect they do a lot of drive through business in the morning in order to stay open. No chance you could actually work from here.

If you follow and read my other reviews ... you will find out where I went next.

Thank you again to the staff ... you were kind and helpful.

EDIT: I just read your reply and noticed it is exactly the same reply you give to every other person with a problem. This is a rep reprehensible way to run a business. Anyone who takes the time to read this should find a locally loaned cafe to...

I am giving this Starbucks a 2 star because my coffee drinks were terrible. The early morning of March 8th, we were in need of good coffee drinks, and we were in the drive thru line for this very busy Starbucks around 6 am. We ordered two Venti lattes. When we got to the window, we were asked to pay, and we were surprised because this was the only Starbucks location that we remember where we were asked for a tip. Because the staff at the window was friendly and welcoming, we tipped. We got our coffee drinks a short while later. However, as we drove away and began sipping our drinks, we became very disappointed. We noticed that the milk was not very foamy, the drinks tasted more like warm milk than lattes, and even when we finished our drinks, we did not feel that we had gotten much caffeine. Frankly, the lattes were terrible! We would have gone back and asked for the drinks to be remade, but we were on a road trip and had to hit the road for our next...

I’ve paid with lg bills before at Starbucks locations. I waited and order in the drive through lane, when went to pay The cashier today she said they can’t take that and I need to leave and come back with change. My drinks were already made so they just threw them out. They could have gave us the drinks and told us next time we need smaller currency at this location or some bs why they couldn’t expect my money. Instead of making it a learning opportunity it was a waste for the customer and the business as they threw already made drinks in the trash. I don’t think the franchise owners would like to see them waste product and upset a customer due to them not being able to accept my denomination of money. As well as there is no signs or info stated on or in the shop that they won’t accept high...
