Starbucks — Restaurant in Carlsbad

I stopped by Starbucks in the morning to grab some breakfast and a coffee. One thing I immediately appreciated was the availability of parking—there were plenty of open spots, which made the visit hassle-free. Morning runs to Starbucks can sometimes be a hit or miss when it comes to crowd levels, but on this particular visit, I had a smooth experience.

For my order, I went with a Mocha Frappuccino and a Double-Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich. Right away, I was impressed with the service. The staff was friendly, efficient, and had my order ready quickly. It’s always nice to start the day with a positive interaction, and this Starbucks location delivered in that regard.

The Mocha Frappuccino was exactly what I was hoping for—creamy, rich, and indulgent with the perfect blend of coffee and chocolate flavors. Starbucks is known for its consistency with drinks, and this one did not disappoint. It was smooth, sweet, and a great pick-me-up.

As for the Double-Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich, it was decent but not my favorite. The flavor was good, with the smoky bacon adding a nice touch, but I found it a bit on the saltier side and a little drier than I prefer. Given that Starbucks doesn’t prepare its sandwiches fresh in-house, I didn’t have high expectations, but I was hoping for something a bit more balanced in texture. If you’re someone who enjoys a heartier, saltier breakfast option, this might be a solid choice for you.

Overall, this Starbucks visit was a success. The convenience, excellent service, and tasty drink made for a great start to the day. While the food isn’t necessarily the highlight, it’s still a reliable option when you need something quick. I’d definitely return for another coffee and maybe try a different breakfast...

I came for a cup of coffee. It took 20minutes. 20minutes!!!!! Maybe I should have ordered a white chocolate mocha with almond milk, a pinch of paprika and blessed by 4 leprechauns, and I would have gotten it faster. After 15 minutes I asked for an update and a helpful employee asked and saw a very unhappy person making my drink. So, I watched her add each sugar packet individually and then my cup sat there waiting for another 5 minutes. Finally, I got my coffee, but the unhappy barista didn’t even acknowledge it took 1/3 of an hour to make my cup of coffee and barely was audibly registered as she said my name. Seriously, I make a lot of reviews and have like 46million views of my pics and this is the absolute worst service I have ever received at a Starbucks and I have been to a lot of Starbucks!!!! Now, I am late to my meetings and my day starts off crappy and even more stressful than it already was. Thanks unhappy Starbucks barista. Your negativity has spread to at least one patron who will not return to this...

Great customer service here with an emphasis on mobile orders, meaning they don’t leave you im the abyss on whether or not your order is ready because you cant see the many cups and bags waiting to be picked up. They call your name and if they see someone who’s been waiting a bit, they check in with you. They also love fur babies! I’ve witnessed some regular fur babies come in and immediately be greeted with a puppuccino! And heres a fun fact, they’ve never run out of tye Double Smoked Bacon Cheddar and Egg sandwich😋. Its pretty busy in the mornings so leave out early or mobile order your drink ahead of time!

P.S. To the patrons that don’t mind twirling other customers cups looking for your name or handling sandwich/pastry bags that may belong to someone else, please just ask the friendly Starbucks crew. Imagine having the items you’re going to eat or drink fondled by 5-10 strangers before you could...
