Starbucks - San Clemente

I went to drive through and ordered my drink, it was given to me with 3inches of white mocha syrup on the bottom, not even mixed with the blonde espresso.I spent over $8 for this?!? Don't waste your time going to this store if you want a good drink!

OKAY! Not technically a corporate Starbucks but ALICIA AND HER TEAM Are the other incredible! I swear they give these workers happy air before they come into work it is a GLARING DIFFERENCE than a typical Starbucks employee I have no idea why but I LOVE IT! I started coming to Albertsons for my Starbucks coffee because of how much happier and pleasant the baristas are and I highly recommend you see for yourself! Get some shopping done too, it's a great morning ritual killing 2 birds with one stone :

Old white haired, bearded stout man, said he could not make my modified strawberry açaí refresher. He said the problem was that it absolutely COULD NOT be blended. Like BY THE BIBLE OF STARBUCKS. It was insane, I am a minority not sure if that's why but I told him I got it here yesterday and he said HE CANNOT, THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO. I've been getting my modified strawberry açaí refresher since they came out with it and I wasn't too sure what the problem was.

I went here a few weeks ago and had the best Caramel Frappuccino I’ve ever had. It was so good, I kept coming back to this specific location even though it’s not my closest Starbucks. There’s a barista here that is the Michael Jordan of Baristas. His name is Nico, and he needs a raise. I will be coming back here often.

Best service ever. The baristas always recognize me by name and they always make my drink perfectly. They are also willing to make any specialty drinks that you request. 10 out of 10 would go here again.
