Starbucks — Restaurant in Downey

Starbucks isn’t a coffee shop — it’s a cult, and I’m a fully initiated member. The green siren calls me by name (well, close enough, apparently “Tacocat” = “Takokap”), and I hand over $8 for bean juice like it’s tithing.

The menu? Absolute chaos. “Grande” is medium, “venti” is large, and “tall” is actually… small. If you try to order a “small coffee,” you can feel the barista’s soul leave their body. But hey, the coffee tastes like ambition and bad financial decisions, and that’s all I need.

Seasonal drinks? That’s where the addiction really kicks in. Pumpkin Spice Latte? Yes, inject autumn directly into my veins. Peppermint Mocha? Congrats, you’re Santa now. Refreshers? Basically fruit juice pretending to be sophisticated.

The vibes? Immaculate. It’s 50% laptop warriors writing their “novels,” 30% moms needing fuel before Target, and 20% teenagers ordering drinks with 47 modifications like they’re building a potion in Harry Potter.

And the baristas… my heroes. They spell my name wrong, hand me my caffeine fix, and somehow don’t cry when I ask for “extra caramel drizzle but like… on the sides of the cup too.” Saints.

Verdict: Starbucks is overpriced bean soup, but I will happily continue to fund this caffeine cult until the day I collapse from espresso overdose. And when that happens, please bury me in...

I love going to this Starbucks it's always nice to go for a refreshing drink. The last time I went to this starbucks was with my sister last week, it was a pretty stressful week for the both of us as the both of us had a lot of testing to do all that week. We barely had any time to get out and do something to take our stress away. Going to starbucks and order our regular matcha and strawberry frappuccino was exciting, once we entered we were greeted and welcomed with warm smiles from the workers. We ordered our drinks and got them within a few minutes, they were so delicious and refreshing drinks. My sister even order another drink for us, it was a pink drink. The drink contained strawberries, which I thought gave the drink more flavor and the drink was a cute pink colorful drink and tasted really good as well as the other drinks we got. I really recommended this Starbucks if you're looking for a place to have a refreshing drink with friends, family, or even...

Came with my daughter to this Starbucks to help her with homework. We purchase drinks and grilled cheese sandwiches. While there a man walked in and sat down, did not purchase anything and waited for another man that arrived later. For what I witnessed he was selling or showing different types of essential oils, very strong smell (more like car fluids/oil) that after a while gave me a headache. I didn’t want to approach them in person, so opted for asking one of the workers if they could be asked to conduct business in the outside patio due to the strong smell. The worker told me she was going to ask her supervisor. Nothing happened, more people came and it became horrible to be there. I approached the worker again and she said the manager told her there’s nothing he could do because “it’s a public place” I agree, “public” for everyone as long as it does not bother anyone. Unbelievable, had to leave the place and the little pyramid type looking business...
