Starbucks, Santa Monica CA

Small area to do work but barista made my half caf drink full yesterday and I had physical shaking and couldn't sleep and digestive problems.

Great service, nitro machine works perfectly and no homeless. Staff is also generally very welcoming and they work well together because they all are working on getting orders done. I've seen other starbys where there are like 5 people standing around and 1 guy doing the drink orders but here everyone is working to get customers taken care of, top notch staff here.

I wish I’d seen the other review warning about the power outlets—there aren’t any, they’re all blocked, and I couldn’t charge my laptop and had to leave. Disappointing.

Just save your time and go to another starbucks. I ordered 3 drinks and they were all messed up. I eventually gave up with the barista remaking them because the kept making them wrong; ordered white mocha latte got a mocha latte, said no whip, put whip on the Frappuccino, forgot to espresso in the latte.just milk and syrup, then remade it and put whole milk instead of almond. I just gave up and went to another Starbucks.

Thier store manager Kate has serious problems. I did not want to call it out in the store because I was with two people from school and was already embarrassed by the treatment I was experiencing, but when we left, both of my classmates called it what it was. Racism! I asked for a refund and left.
Don't come here if you are a minority who wants to be harassed and humiliated.

Just wanted people to know they no longer have electrical sockets to charge your devices.
It’s also a smaller Starbucks it’s easy to be distracted or be surrounded by people and noise.
If you like to read or write I wouldn’t recommend the inside sitting area. The outside sitting area is very nice though!

I love Vero and Maria.they are dedicated, helpful and friendly even at 5am in the morning
