Starbucks - Salinas Ca

This Starbucks is not available to the public. Access is controlled by the mall hours so if you come here during store hours you may or may not be able to pick up your order. This proved frustrating for me as I planned a tight itinerary. The mall does not open until 11:00 a.m. as of this writing. The manager was polite, though ultimately unhelpful.

THE AWESOMEST, KINDEST STARBUCKS EMPLOYEES I’VE ENCOUNTERED ? The woman who took my order, Crow, was so patient, kind and generous to me. THANK YOU for my drink, seriously, you made my day even brighter and the rest of the staff (forgive me for forgetting the names of the two other women working with Crow, but they were so kind to greet, smile and just be warm and welcoming! these employees deserve a raise. No one asked or told me to write this, I’m doing this solely because of their kindness and generosity. These ladies deserve a raise and promotion for their 1”/10 customer service!! Thank you SO much, I won’t forget this!!! I ordered on 4/20/23 around 3 ish pm btw. God bless you Crow and all the staff that works here, abundantly. I’m so grateful.

Great staff here. The girls are fantastic ? I'm pretty much a regular here and they are always busy knocking out those orders ?. Desiree always knows what om looking to try!

The employe prepares my coffee outside my expectatins . It tasted just hot water with a light coffee flavor, cream and light swetened. Terrible.

Clean friendly place. It was pretty busy when we went over the weekend but even so our wait was 15min. I took my daughter to a store near by came back on time my drinks were ready.Kid-friendliness: Right in front of the Starbucks they have some areas where kids can sit while waitingParking: Plenty of parking at the mallWheelchair accessibility: Definitely wheelchair accessible
