Starbucks - Orinda

Slow slow slow and not because the baristas are slow. It’s the flood of mobile orders with one person addressing all of themIf they could cover for the dedicated mobile order person that would help but on a Saturday at noon there were only three people thereLooks like not enough to me.The last time I was here it was over thirty minutes for a latte and during that time the mobile orders that had just come in were done and picked up. You can see the tags being pulled so yes I’m sure of that.

In the mornings this store is full and not much barista there to help crazy mobile orders. They need help.

I went there for my newly favorite Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade. It was BOMB!!!

I think I 'm officially done coming here after this morning 's chaos. I 've started coming here for a month now because it 's the closest Starbucks to my new job and it 's on the way. Today I had a simple order hot chocolate with whipped cream and a toasted bagel. I got there 10mins after I placed the order (I order while I 'm in Walnut Creek bc they do take longer) and my hot cocoa was ready. I waited around another 5mins for my bagel and finally asked if I could just get it cold. By the way the employee looked for it, looks like it wasn 't going to be ready for a while. Another customer had actually walked out upset when I got in and said forget my bagel . When I got to the car, I noticed my hot cocoa didn 't have whipped cream even though I requested extra. These are very small, simple mistakes, but when they happen consistently, it gets annoying. Looks like I 'll be going to the other Starbucks farther out with a drive thru from now on.

Small Starbucks, parking is across the street or on, friendly staff, was passing through after a motorcycle ride with some friends and wanted to get some coffee
