Starbucks

They’ve managed to give the OB location of this gigantic multinational coffeeshop a local feel through great employees. Belza in particular is a great local OB musician and seeing his smiling face behind the counter makes me feel Starbucks presence in OB is justified and welcome even. Other giant companies like the Target down the street have not been as successful in integrating with the community and you can sense the the general displeasure at the intrusion.

So I went in today to get some drinks the girls wanted to try after seeing them nm on tiktok. Then asked the lady behind the counter, blond, super nice i think she said Kristen, what is a drink off the menu that you've seen a customer order that you tried and loved. She ended up making me the drink and i loved it. Thanks for helping me find a new drink.

Starbucks Student Union at SDSU campus is the biggest dining room of a Starbucks that I've visited anywhere. Very clean, spacious, lots of room & seating areas, big & small tables, very conducive to studying & social activities. The business is constant, always a line of students needing their Starbucks treat, serviced by a big staff of Baristas - as many as sometimes - 8 or 9 of them working in this beehive of activity, mostly students working part time as their class availability would allow... Quality of product - always perfect, with the strict Starbucks standards. Amazing place!

Love this spot for a quick coffee on the way to the beach. Starbucks app allows you to order ahead which makes it easy to get your coffee and get to the beach! If you are driving, there is parking but it can be hard to find spots at peak times of day. Inside there are a handful of tables available and wifi, if you wish to work here. Staff is friendly and helpful!
