Starbucks — Restaurant in Irvine

Irvine, oh Irvine! The land of sunshine, palm trees, and Starbucks on every corner. Well, almost every corner. You see, my dear caffeine addicts, I embarked on a quest for the mystical drive-through Starbucks in Irvine, only to be met with disappointment. It's like searching for a unicorn in a sea of kittens.

But fear not, my fellow java enthusiasts! All hope is not lost. For amidst the scarcity, I stumbled upon the holy grail of beverages--the Pink Drink. Oh, the Pink Drink! It's like a sip of cotton candy dreams, a concoction of fruity delight that makes your taste buds do the cha-cha. If happiness had a flavor, it would be the Pink Drink.

Now, let's talk about the service. Picture this: you roll up to the drive-through window, eager for your caffeine fix, and there they are--Starbucks superheroes ready to serve you. But here's the catch: they're soft-spoken. I'm talking whispers that could rival the wind rustling through the trees, whispers that make you wonder if they're secretly plotting to take over the world, one coffee at a time. It's a unique experience, to say the least. You might find yourself leaning in closer, straining to catch every word, as if you're participating in a secret coffee cult.

So, my dear coffee aficionados, if you find yourself in Irvine, yearning for that elusive drive-through Starbucks, take a deep breath and brace yourself. The drive-through options may be as rare as a shooting star, but the Pink Drink awaits. And remember, when those soft-spoken baristas pass you your cup of liquid joy, embrace the whispers, for they hold the key to unlocking your...

I came in to purchase a cake pop and a ceramic coffee cup, the California theme. It was the last one. I was excited to get the last one and I look up and this lady is staring at me like I nuts. I ask her can you put my coffee in this. She says “I don’t suggest you do that”… 🤔🤨🙄 I ask her “why?” I came here for this and coffee. She says, we can ONLY hot wash it. I said that’s fine. I then order the cake pop for my granddaughter who is next to me the whole time. I said which size fits in this cup and she again says well we don’t really allow customers to use their own cups. The app says you can so idk why she’s acting like it’s against company policy. I tell her, why? I want to use it. She says again, she can only hot wash it. I again say, that’s fine. I tell her what I want, and someone cones up behind her with a measuring cup and tells me to put my cup in it. Now it looks ridiculous they are not wanting to touch my cup. But they can touch their cups and hand to customers all day. Idk where her hands have been but I trust them. And to act like only when my personal cup is being used it’s not ok to touch the cup I am going to drink from. Ridiculous. The woman who helped me has twins one writes left handed, she told me as I was having trouble swiping my card with my left hand. Anyways, I got my cup and my coffee money I will spend it at Peets Coffee where they don’t act like these people at...

Came to this Starbucks on 2/6/2024 around 8:15 am after working a graveyard shift at a nearby hospital. I came in and was met with dirty looks by a petite woman (who i later found out to be the manager) I used to the bathroom and came back to the dining room and sat down to wait for my mobile order. The manager would not take her eyes off me as if I was some sort of animal. She was whispering (which I could still hear her) to other employees saying I used the bathroom and what was I doing? She wasn’t asking in way that she was trying to provide customer service, she was totally being prejudice. Mind you I was only sitting in the dining room for less than 2 minutes. The young gentleman who was handing out the mobile orders had way better manners and customer service than his manager who would not take her evil eye off of me. The manager greeted and wished every one a safe day besides me. When my mobile order was ready she glared at me the entire time and made me super uncomfortable. I buy Starbucks and spend 5.95 every single morning but this location made me feel so unbelievably uncomfortable. I am 38 yrs old and I have never felt so unwelcome at a establishment in my entire life. I didn’t want to believe the rumors about Starbucks being racists but here at this location it is clear they don’t want black ppl in their...
