Starbucks

Pros: Ample seating and friendly service. Takes Starbucks rewards.
Cons: My vanilla latte tastes like sugar water with whipped cream thrown in. Nope.
Random: Lots of business deals going down everywhere. Lots of loud conversations. Lots of optimism.

I only go to this location because it’s in the mall where I work. The location smells if you’re right outside of it because of the homeless people loitering. The service is really fast but mean. The employees looks miserable and is always snappy. I say always because I’m a regular and they’re always rude. One day they barely filled my grande up and I pointed it out and the barista mumbled «we usually fill it only ¾» what? I might as well have paid for a tall. He then took my cup and filled it with more milk and ice. I was FURIOUS. Now my cup has more milk than needed for my coffee. I wish there was another location for me to feed my Starbucks addiction.

No discounts on coffee yet they didn’t have salt for the Salted Carmel Mocha Latte. Don’t come here, very unprofessional and somewhat sleezy Homeless people come inside and hit you up for money.

The Starbucks at CityTarget in the Metreon could be better. Also they sometimes have the oversight of lacking the typical price labels for the cold beverages at the bottom. Several power outlets are busted and this place can fill up easily.
Shopping at the Target can be well supplemented by going here. It is at the bottom. Starbucks isn’t as much the place as the main library to charge my phone, if at all. They do have a vast selection of things to buy, including my blackberry water which is not offered in many stores, though at two dollars, not understandable for very little more than water.
Go here if it makes sense.

I came in to this Starbucks on a Friday. I was thirsty but didn’t want a coffee just yet so I went up to the barista side and asked for a glass of water from Daniel. He refused to get me a glass of water because I did not purchase a drink yet. I was really displeased with this service.

Not a bad spot. This one is attached to the City Target, so when I came in today it was a bit crowded. I dropped by around 9:40am and although it was crowded the line moved pretty quickly. The lady that helped me was nice and got my order correct on the first try (I had an iced caramel macchiato skinny and a slow roasted ham breakfast sandwich). The wait was a bit long I waited maybe about ten minutes, but once again this was a pretty busy day. The sandwich was super hot and good. The drink on the other hand was kind of poorly done. I’ve had a lot of iced macchiato’s and this one was a bit too watery! Overall, I would give this spot another chance to see if maybe this was a fluke since the associates were quite nice.

coffee was excellent

Does anyone remember Lewis Black’s piece about The End of the Universe? Well, here I am sitting inside of a Starbucks across the street from another Starbucks. This place is full of commuters and tourists during both rush hour times (obviously), but service is friendly and efficient. If you’re vegan or lactose intolerant, they have soy milk. yay. Also they have non-​gender specific restrooms which is cool.

The Starbucks inside Target is Silly. I dunno what it is about the Starbucks inside of Target but they are behind the game, just as the Starbucks inside the Safeways are.
The hours to the Starbucks in Target are the same as Target, opening at 7am which is far too late really but there is a Starbucks directly across the street and when you compare the two, this is the one that is lacking. Perhaps cos it is semi-​owned by Target?
The Baristas here all have to wear hats which just look ridiculously silly. Also it takes them much longer to make coffee drinks than at the real Starbucks location. Its almost as if they have to take extra steps, extra unnecessary steps that is. Anyway, they run very very slow and take ages and ages. And the condiment bar is always a mess! Can’t they ring Target employees to come help them when they get busy?
Also every time I ask for butter they are out! Seriously. Cant they run up the stairs and buy some from Target??? It makes absolutely no sense when they have Target merchandise and employees at their feet. How can they ever run out of anything. And why does it have to run so inefficiently!!! Id Rather just go to the Starbucks across the road or in the Powell Underground. The Starbucks inside the Richmond Target is better than this one in the Metreon.
Also baristas that work at Starbucks Target are not allowed to accept tips which is questionable!

Bad customer service it’s surprising because I wouldn’t exspect this at any Starbucks. The employee né was Sarah and she rude. She seemed as if she was having a bad day and taking it out in customers. I ask for a simple request while she fixed my drink to add whip cream! Instead of saying sure no problem. She tell me «oh next ask for a frap». Where’s the Customer service?

For some reason they have the ginormous 1997 cash registers that are big as a photo copier!!!

Staff is pretty friendly and they make good drinks! One of the better Starbuck locations in the area. I go all the time and they’ve only messed up my drink once. And when I told them, they quickly fixed it! It gets a bit busy in the mornings and evenings, but nothing too bad.

Really appreciated the cashier today, who made my day! Thanks! They were swamped, because they lack the personnel with all these thirsty people. Everyone was patient.

No tips accepted here, they are Target Employees. Use your Target card if you want and save your cash. Bathroom has push key lock on it. Code is 123.

Worst Starbucks experience I’ve ever had. This location is filthy. Napkins, used cups, straws and other trash was all over the floor. The staff appeared not to notice or care.

Newest Starbucks to the SF area! It’s in the City Target, downstairs. Frank, Michelle, Chad, Joe, and Tavonne have all given me outstanding service while I’ve been here as a faithful customer, since abandoning the 4^th and Mission location. (It’s much cleaner over here.) it’s a shame that Target won’t allow the Starbucks employees to accept tips for their laborious service and top notch customer care. It almost makes me want to take my business elsewhere, but the service here is so great. Target really needs to get on that.

They had good customer service and my order came out quickly. There was still seating space if I wanted to relax a bit. They offer the same products as they do for the Starbucks across the street.

This Starbucks is located in the corner of the huge Target also not far from Moscone West. This store, while a Starbucks, has some non-​Starbucks policy about points. While there recently, they said I could not use my «free beverage» b/​c they were really a Target? OK. It would be nice to post a sign perhaps?
Overall, this store remains swamped too when there are events at Moscone. It located right across the street from you guessed it — another Starbucks. This store also delivers consistent products and sometimes tends to be not as cramped as the store across the street. I’ve always been happy with the staff. They are courteous and have never gotten my order wrong even when the person in front of you orders about 20 «to-​go» beverages (as happens often during Moscone events) and backs the delivery queue up considerably. A well orchestrated team that operates consistently cool with lots of conference attendees swarming about! Cheers.
