Starbucks is undoubtedly a brand that needs no introduction, renowned globally for its signature coffeehouse experience. As expected, the North Riverside Avenue location in Rialto lives up to the well-established reputation of this iconic brand. Offering the classic Starbucks menu, this store serves everything from hot and cold beverages, whole-bean coffee, and their signature VIA micro-ground instant coffee to a variety of teas, including products from the premium Teavana line. Additionally, they have a wide array of options such as Evolution Fresh Juices, Frappuccino beverages, La Boulange pastries, Snacks like Chips and Crackers, as well as pre-packaged food items, Sandwiches, and Drink-ware for sale.
In terms of taste, Starbucks remains consistent with its globally-recognized flavors and quality - familiar, reliable, and undeniably ‘Starbucks’. While this consistency might not spark any new surprises, it’s a comforting assurance for loyal patrons. During my visits, I opted for the drive-thru service, and each experience was smooth and hassle-free. The staff were friendly, efficient, and maintained the professionalism you'd expect from a well-trained Starbucks team.
One of the standout points for me for this location is its overall service. Despite the fast pace of drive-thru operations, the employees have managed to maintain accuracy in fulfilling orders while being courteous and approachable. These small touches make a difference in the overall customer experience.
Another notable aspect is the pricing. Though Starbucks is known for being on the pricier side compared to other coffeehouses, this location offers the same affordability and value one would anticipate. For the quality of the drinks and food paired with the great service, it feels like a fair exchange.
To sum up, this Starbucks location on North Riverside Avenue is a solid choice for coffee aficionados and casual visitors alike. While it may not offer any significant deviation from the standard Starbucks experience, it’s that very consistency and reliability that keeps customers coming back. Whether you're craving your favorite latte or just looking for a convenient snack on the go, this location does not disappoint. It’s Starbucks - familiar, comforting,...
Read moreI recently went on a trip to visit friends and family in Rialto. I wanted to treat My bestie to some Starbucks. Well,............ When we went up to Order Lot of things we wanted to Order were unavailable. 😔 We didn't complain.we understood their situation. So we kept ordering till we found items they had available. While in the drive thru we waited a Good amount of time. A long time. ⏳ The kiddos in the car decided they wanted cake pops. Went up to pay, And the worker their said They were sorry but their system was having problems. 😔😔😔😔 I was thinking to myself, it's cool. I'd be bummed without my Mocha Frappuccino but del tacos next door. 😅 Tacos? Hehe
But no.. instead They Starbucks worker says "So we decided your orders on us!"
Wait what?? ✋ Nice...... We than ordered 2 cake pops for the kiddos and passed my card to pay. They took it, than gave It back. Responded with "Well, that's also on Us."
🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 Wow... we didn't complain about the line, or the menu availability, and we still were treated with Hospitality and such kindness.
Gotta say "Thank you Starbucks Rialto for your service!" You all were so calm about the situation at work, and you still went the distance for your customers in an intense situation.
Hope all is well for your facility. Cheers to making our day a blessing.
I will always remember & share this story. ♥
Kiddos loved the cake pops, & US Mom's loved our Drinks!! They were made perfect. Tasted great! Egg bites were a nice temperature 🌡& tasty with every bite.
Thank you Rialto...
Read moreThis Starbucks is the closest one to my home although it is out of the way for me. I am not usually on the North end of Rialto when I think about ordering there. I had several giftcards saved up and had errands that required me to use the the 210 freeway so it was convenient to stop there this time. Driving in it becomes obvious very quickly that the DriveThru lane gets very cramped if the line is backed up and it causes cars to stay waiting in a line that blocks customer's parked cars from backing out and other cars to squeeze by if they need to get out of the adjoining parking spots and car lanes. It was very busy on my visit. When I got to the drive thru menu to order, the first three menu items I picked were not available. Neither food nor drink choices. The employee taking my order switched once before confirming the unavailable items and forgot that I was still being waited on so I had to repeat my order twice only to be told "We don't have that." The exterior was clean and manicured which was a plus. My wait at the cashier window was longer than expected though and a little reassurance from the barista would have gone a long way. If I ever go to that location again I will try a different time and date because the crowded conditions in the parking lot to the drive thru lane and the unavailability of menu items may not be an issue at another time and date. My wait was so long I took more pictures than I usually do when I post a review. It helped pass the...
