Starbucks — Restaurant in Palm Desert

Friendly staff, good coffee, and quick service. I started visiting this Starbucks about 2 years ago - once or twice a week. My go-to order is a cold brew, iced brown sugar oakmilk shaken espresso, or iced chai. ...and each of my orders have 1 - 2 customizations.

I really like this Starbucks because they make the drinks to the recipes & get my customizations right, and the staff is very friendly and efficient. I order using the Starbucks Mobile app, and my drink is ready when I arrive. All of my drinks have been made correctly, since I started visiting this Starbucks about 6 months ago.

I haven't used the drive-thru at this location. I always go in the store to pick up my drinks.

There isn't much ambience at this location, but who needs ambience when my coffee is made...

Visited this Starbuck's to order double smoked bacon and egg breakfast sandwiches, some tea drinks and their lemon loaf cake slices. Did not pre order them, but opted for drive thru. Drive thru entrance is near back side of parking lot area, a bit challenging to locate, but did find it with the signage posted.

This time no, breakfast sandwiches available, except their newest selection. Was able to get my drinks and lemon loaf cake. Window service employee seemed a bit harried, maybe a busy morning. They almost forgot to give me one of the drink orders, thinking they had already given it to me. No stoppers offered on drinks, bag that had the lemon loaf cake in it was greasy on the outside. Not one of my better visits with food availability and service offered. Drinks were...

I was there today at 9 am. I had tried to order the medicine ball, but they didn't have all the teas. I have been to 2 other locations with no luck. 😞

I just ordered the peach instead. One of the baristas just happened to have the other tea, and they surprised me at the window. Thank you! I was having a terrible start of the day, and honestly, I wanted to cry after being told no again. I just needed to feel better, and the tea always helps. Thank you thank you for making a difference in my emotional day. Even though it was a small gesture, It brightened me, and I felt like I was seen and understood. I wanted to leave a tip on the app... but forgot I used stars to pay. I will be in to leave a tip...
