Starbucks - Alameda

It's starbucks. What else is there to say? Whether you're looking for something hot or cold, coffee or tea, this is the best place to go for quality. I also recommend downloading their app to earn rewards for free coffee or for some free merchandise. 10/10Dietary restrictions: They have many different options for everybody's food choices.Kid-friendliness: Non caffeine drinks are available as well as fantastic breakfast options for the whole family wether you want sweet, salty, savory...... it's all here!

Stopping by occasionally for afternoon coffee. Depending on who’s making your drink. It could be good, it could be bad.

I like Starbucks. And this one has employees that will happily serve you whatever thing you want to drink. Starbucks prices to me are ridiculous, but at least I get the consistency that I want from the products. I'm unable to get to this store as often as I used to. But when I do come here, I still get the same courteous service. Parking is easy in the big parking lot, snacks are fresh, and the Wi-Fi works great.

This is a very poorly run team. The manager usually looks like she is about to scream at all the staff and as a result they are all scrambling to do their role, but aren’t working as a team to be most efficient. Someone should really come in and retrain the management because this situation isn’t going to get better on its own.

Quality/Quantity Wanted to get an afternoon boost of coffee, but after fighting with the bathroom light and losing, I left without getting anything. This is a location I rarely frequent and today 's experience reinforces that.Current holiday promotions, see picture.Atmosphere Nice indoor and outdoor seating. Even on a cold day like today, there were still people sitting outside. Shared parking with Walgreens; it used to be crazy busy trying to get a parking space here. In the past, when the students from COA, College of Alameda, used to hang out here, bad people used to come and do laptop runs. They would run into Starbucks and grab their laptops and run away, usually to a car waiting for them. I hope that negative culture is gone.Open 7 days a week from 5:30am or 6am to 7pm; see picture of posted hours.Also see the picture of the posted holiday sign.Need a code for the bathrooms, and today the lights did NOT work. The employee said push the button... Duh! We checked both bathrooms and neither lights work. Good thing for flashlights on our phones!Service Poor, none. The main reason for the below average review.Price N/A.Owner Comment Congrats on all your success since 1971 and for being the largest coffeehouse chain in the world! #114 on the Fortune 500 list.
