Starbucks — Restaurant in Rancho Santa Margarita

This Starbucks homeless shelter is kept especially clean. No human feces in the corners or used needles in the bathroom like the ones in beautiful San Francisco. Anytime I go here the highly qualified and trained baristas greet me as if I'm the former CEO and Presidential Hopeful Howie Shnultzie and I can really tell the diversity sensitivity training last year really worked because the color of my skin doesn't affect the quality of the coffee that I may or may not purchase.. even though I'm white. There's a beautiful fountain outside that is always flowing, no doubt representative of rejuvenation and fertility to support non-binary gender equality in the workplace. Sometimes I'll sit there with my 5 dollar coffee and 1000 dollar laptop and Bluetooth linked smart phone bumping on my Beats by Dre and ponder how capitalism is the bane of the modern world. One of my favourite things about this derelict free, forward thinking Starbucks shelter is that I can walk into this place with only PJs on or half naked because I know I'm entering an establishment of true tolerance and acceptance .. hell I may even come here naked next time since I feel so accepted. I mean .. what better way to celebrate coexistence than to hold my Americano proudly in the air while exposing my body the way I was brought into this world.. although I don't like the name Americano .. it sounds oppressive and tyrannical. They should change it to Drinkcano or Cafe-o-Cup.. that's much less soul crushing. The bottom line is, if you're looking to spend 8 dollars on some string cheese to bring down the patriarchy and really stick it to capitalism with your latte sans plastique .. this is the...

This SB by Lowes anchor store used to be really nice. Comfy seats, plugs to sit for a reasonable amount of time to work. Helpful staff. Now it seems on the third remodel I've seen, the theme SB Corp seems to have of tearing out comfort and replacing with thin wood stick chairs or barstools is continuing. This and a recent visit where my friend was served a frap drink without the flavors from the previous drink being rinsed out. They offered to correct only to make the drink a 2nd time incorrectly. 5$ drinks, served twice in the slow of the afternoon, incorrectly. I know fraps are the bane of baristas, I get it. But that's what my 5$ paying customer friend likes. They were nice about it but it put a damper on our "stick chair" visit. Yes, they have a line of four or so comfy chairs. Lined up side by side like your getting a mani pedi. Not friendly or conducive to conversation. The place reminds me of my college cafeteria. Well the SB bean counters can be proud of the higher capacity seating. I won't pay for a premium drink if the company has minimal hospitality. A bonus for this location is out back the food center has a fountain a chairs, nice on a spring day. Two unisex bathrooms in back as well, I've found pretty...

I'm not sure who does the ordering this is the second time i've gone there and both times they didn't have the salt for a featured fall item, the salted caramel mocha frappuccino. It was a total letdown 😔 They said that they would put sea salt on it in place of the salt they didn't have but they never did. The frappuccino was and iced coffee. It was terrible! The two girls and guy that was supposed to be serving people, we're too busy talking about their own personal life to provide good customer service. The dirty blond worker put the coffee on the counter and walked away not saying a word. I said thank you but she continued to ignore. I won't go back there again and I live right...
