Starbucks - El Cajon

There’s always a long line that takes forever to move. I don’t know honestly if there’s short on staff or so slow. It’s next to my house but I would rather to drive extra miles to stop by another branch to avoid the long waiting line.

This location is always clean and well kept. The servers are also top notch friendly, efficient, welcoming. Beverages are ready when promised, in general, and well prepared.

Past few times it takes 15 to 20 minutes for a standard dark or pike coffee with nothing else in it! Orders after mine are fulfilled and still here waiting every time. It takes about 30 seconds to pour so whats up with that?! Not coming to this location anymore.

Super fast service on a weekday morning at 745am. Impressive!

Many of us put in our orders TO GO if we’re in a hurry on our way to work. I understand that the lobby had to be closed due to flooding at this location which is totally fine, but you should definitely turn off your order ahead status on the app.. I ordered 20 minutes prior to arriving at the location and now I’ve been sitting in the line for 25 minutes. Additionally, when i FINALLLY got to the window, I mentioned that it might be helpful to turn off the pick up status on the app so another customer doesn’t find themselves in the same frustrating pickle I did this morning, but the barista immediately got defensive, made a snarky reply back, and was not receptive to my feedback which was NOT a personal attack. I was scared to even get to the window to get my order because was clear he has taken it as one. Connor, thanks for being the only rude Starbucks barista I’ve ever met in my whole life. Fr. From LA to Catalina to SD. Great latte though 10/10.And authors note:It’s possible that Connor could’ve taken my tone as ‘snarky’ too. At the end of the day, I was just trying to help others avoid my same fate while I do feel like it is your responsibility to not be argumentative behind the counter and opt for problem solving, I know you guys must go through a lot, stay very busy, and your job isn’t easy. Connor was very nice at the window. Have a good one.
