I had a very pleasant surprise here

Everytime I go to Starbucks I get a Venti Iced Chai Latte with 3 shots of Espresso, and this place was on point with it.

I love this store! Every time I visit I’m greeted with a smile and kind service. Store is always clean, parking is the only issue.

Best Starbucks in south county. The manager and all the employees are amazing. Super friendly and fast service, and they always get the order right no matter how busy they are. The place is always clean. I love starting my day at this store because I know the rest of my day will be that much better

The one downside to this Starbucks is no designated parking lot. There is a lot across the alley but it’s now labeled for private use. However, there’s always street parking close by. The staff was friendly, courteous, helpful and seemed to genuinely care about their work environments and be passionate about the company. The inside is quaint with four two-top tables along the window wall opposite the cash wrap and an extra two in the back corner. It’s pretty consistent with other Starbucks locations in terms of menu, items, merchandise, drink quality etc.

San Clemente, CA - A must stop at this Starbucks in town to take a caffeine break for the rest of the trip home (another 2 hrs!). A nice little store in this beach town, busy, staff was alert at greeting each and every guest that walks in the door. A good feeling to be acknowledged and given priority as excellent guest service delivery should be. Good job to this team as they got my yummy warmed up cookie and latte in no time.

Nice Starbucks. Lots of open space inside and a large patio. Bonus that they had the lentil and roasted veggie salad in stock.

One of the nicest locations I've been to. Nothing Beats Pikes Market Place

Great location to stop and have a coffee with lots of outside seating with the ocean breeze. Expect a little wait because this place is busy and mostly a lot of online orders. Service is super friendly and as always the coffee is good.

I've got to be honest this is a bag of hits and misses with 4 stars giving the benefit of the doubt over 3 stars. The new interior helps to give the eating space a clean and updated feel but does not fully succeed in hiding age of the building. The fresh squeezed juices looked very nice, my sister enjoyed her green tee late, but mom was disappointed in only having non-dary creamer for her coffee. My Pork Benedict was fine but nothing really stood out as special or great the honindase sauce was just passable. Chilli killè was also just fine. The kalula pork was the best part of those two dishes. Sister liker her fried chicken and waffle but while I agreed the chicken was quite good I felt the waffle was soggy. We split the onion rings and those were very good. I suspect that their best item is in fact the burgers. The og Mr Pete's used to be the very stereo typical "burger shack" with price prioritised over quality but not bad with good deep fried items that are easier to do on a lower price point. In its new iteration as Aloha Pete's I think its struggling to figure out exactly what it is now. Last, if anyone from Aloha Pete's reads I would make a point to have a minimum standard for dress code fir the staff. Sweat pants is a bad look for any restaurant.

As a San Clemente local, we had to try Aloha Mr. Pete’s - who has been famous for years for their burgers, but who only recently connected with the same group who does Aloha Stacks for breakfast. I had the Canadian Bacon eggs benedict. My wife had a vegetarian breakfast burrito. Both of us had iced coffee. The Benedict Hollandaise had an interestingly more fruity and tangy flavor than I am used to which was odd but ironically refreshing. The veggie burrito came with refried beans that were fantastic, and the tortilla looked as though it was grilled to perfection; the thing was massive and required a to-go box for the other half. Pricing is very reasonable, the service staff at the counter are very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is perfect for families - very durable and easy to rinse down. Cute atmosphere with Islander music while you look out towards the ocean. Parking is a little strange; we did not try the drive-through. Lastly, the coffee is a solid blend - not over roasted or burnt (more like a smother version of a McDonalds blend).

Ot like any hamburger place I’ve been to in Hawaii. That’s not a bad thing though. Decent burgers great fries, and good service

This place is actually Hawaiian. Hawaiian music and waitress and pastrami omlettes, shrimp tacos, sourdough bread... talk about unique and good

First time to try and we did drive-thru. Had 3 quarter-pound cheeseburger, 1 avocado cheeseburger, and 1 chili fries. I must say it is ok when it comes to the taste. It took a little while before we received our order but it is ok. Thank you for your service.

Green Tea Frappuccino, Salted Caramel Cold Brew, Strawberry Refresher, all the menus were delicious. There were many tables on the ocean view patio, and there was plenty of parking space next to the building, so there was no inconvenience in parking. The servers were friendly, and the interior was clean.

Julia Lee

Quick friendly service. Latte was made properly through mobile order app. Parking lot available in back. No drive thru though.

My husband was excited to stop here on our way back to San Diego after reading some great reviews. Unfortunately, when we pulled into the drive-thru, we never received any service. After waiting for a while with no response, we decided to leave rather than go inside, since we were on a tight schedule. The menu looked fantastic, so it was disappointing that the drive-thru experience didn’t live up to expectations.

The lady making the drinks was rude just because I asked for a pup cup even though the whip cream was in her hand. I was told next time I needed to order it at the register. I had ordered online which doesn’t give the option to order a pup cup. It’s just sad that she had to be rude about something that took her less then 10 seconds to do. I came down to get my Birthday coffee! Happy Birthday to me I guess!!! This is not the first time that I have heard her be rude to a customer just because they dare say something to her. Before my drink was ready she rolled her eyes at the customer before me because she asked for a sleeve for her hot drink!!! Some people aren’t meant for customer service!!!!

Men's Bathroom was not working, not enough power outlets to charge laptops and phony

Guess my hopes were set too high that Mr Pete’s had improved. I got the spicy chicken and it was good, not great but good, got onion rings there were maybe 6 in the bag, wanted zucchini but they were out. Now the carne asada burrito(see attached photo) or should i say white rice burrito with like 7 pieces of carne asada. Very disappointed in the place that was an icon when i was a kid. I know the prices are reasonable but if this is how you cut corners maybe charge more and give us what we want.

This place needs help. The drinks are bad, customer service is non-existent. Do people in this little town get out much???

When I asked a staff person (barista) about the status of a mobile order, she looked at me like I was such an abomination for questioning her work pace. Mind you, I had been waiting 10 minutes and watched people come and go that arrived after me. I showed her my order time and submission on my phone and she walked over to the printer, to grab the printed sticker. She didn't even acknowledge that she missed it or just simply apologize for the minor oversight on her part, and additional waiting on mine. She just mildly rolled her eyes and proceeded to make the drink. I see this incident as proof that this 20-something year old generation: 1) can't ever be wrong or questioned; 2) customer service with a smile is dead. I wish they'd learn a simple acknowledgement goes a long way. Now I'm just annoyed and writing about it on Google and vow to never return to this location again- I'll go to Diedrich down the road, instead. I know, for a fact, their staff feel less entitled. They actually appreciate the business.

Loved it! Fast service and orders were done correctly. Update: Two Years later and this Starbucks has really gone downhill. Staff is extremely rude and condescending. Hollering at people who walked in behind me without a mask on. Then another lady who was waiting in line while holding her small dog was kicked out and told dogs were not allowed in the store. Last but not least they got 2 out of 3 of our drink orders wrong then copped an attitude about it when I asked them to please fix them.

First time because I heard great reviews from the local San Clemente page. Wasn’t sure what to order but the man over the speaker ag the drive thru said one of the most common was the Turkey avocado melt. Sounded delicious. Ate half of my sandwich and went to grab the other half and saw this!! Black over ripe avocado. And even a slice of the thick avocado skin once I took it apart. Not at all appetizing. Threw it away 🤢 my daughter got the kids chicken tenders and fries which ended up being okay.

I waited 15 minutes for my first loco moco order with over easy eggs, the eggs were burnt and more done than over hard. I drove back to return it and the kind girl said I’m so sorry we will re make it for you. After another 15 minutes I got my next order, this time everything was even more burnt and the eggs way more burnt than last time. They need to fire whatever cook was there at 2pm 12/01/23 because that is a disgrace to one of my favorite restaurants in town.

So I was around san clemente and there weren't a lot of options for me to stop by and grab a bite, I saw mr Pete's and decided to try it out. I got the big asada burrito and it was just white rice and beans and 2 strips of "asada meat" it was like if I had a bean and rice burrito lol I mean I ate it because I paid 16 for that burrito and drink really disappointed on this burrito no flavor, they have like a teriyaki chicken bowl that my co worker order and that was 20 dollars but look way better than the mexican food they sell there

Watch out for these people entering in Starbucks in groups. You will notice them with colored hair, tyedye shirts, or wearing bright colors.
