Hardly anyone there.
I saw 3 employees. Only one of them was doing most of the work. Took about 15 minutes to receive 2 drinks.
I don't like their new loyalty program. Less stars per $1 spent. And I am not seeing the extra stars being loaded if you load $30 or more like their new program says.

I got the worst Americano I have ever had here, it was undrinkable. I have been drinking Starbucks for years, and this one was so off I could only have two sips. I tried contacting Corporate but they couldn't do anything for me since I don't have a receipt. Oh well. It's only like $6 but it was wasted.

Passing through Escondido, ordered thru the app and dropped in to use the bathroom while we waited. Our beverages were put out on the pick-up plane and we noticed that one of the drinks definitely didn’t resemble the other drinks…and they are all the same drink! I brought this to the barista’s attention (her name is Ashley), she had a very condescending attitude and just said that she made all 3 the same.

So I went back to the register to speak with another Starbucks partner and she referred me back to the barista who made it…who once again gave me sass about the drink being the same, didn’t even offer to fix the drink so I could hit the road. At that moment I decided to just get a refund and buy my drinks elsewhere…and guess what! I did! The other Starbucks prepared my drinks perfectly with the consistency I would expect from all the other Starbucks.

Ashley is very rude.

Great Starbucks and location, easy to hop on/off the freeway. Every time I order here, my food and drink is ready in under 10 minutes, sometimes it's already out for pick-up inside 5 min after I order. Have never had any issues. Last time I was here, they wrote a nice message on my cup!

This is a conveniently located Starbucks. They staff is always helpful, the store is always clean. Recently, they took out all of their indoor seating, but there is still patio seating. So I suppose this location is best suited to pick up orders, evening visits, or for people that want to brave the relentless escondido summer heat. The store itself has AC and standing accommodations only.

Taking out the seating for customers was done as a legitimate safety concern. However, it would have been better if they worked with the property management to get guardrails installed versus removing one of the best features of this Starbucks that's been here for so many years.

It's still a great place to stop if you're running errand at the mall it's located in. There is a huge parking lot, but it can get busy. Tons of food, banking, and shopping nearby.
