Starbucks Cotati Reviews
Always friendly and quick. Great little corner spot to stop off during shopping
This is my spot and I love the staff! They are very good at remembering their loyal customers and your drink orders!
I've been going here for years always friendly people working and it's a great start to my day thank you
The staff is great, they get my drink right every time.
Always so friendly, helped me to the car with catering coffee.
Friendly staff and quick service and my order was correct
Every single person who works in this particular location. Is is very kind respectful and joyful and I appreciate that
Friendly staff, consistent drinks. I like the fact that they don't have a drive thru at this location.
Friendly staff very comfortable environment. Great addition to our unique community.
Best staff ever!!!! Always friendly, happy, and they call customers by name and always remember you drinks!!!!
Been a while since I had a mocha but it was perfectly made, strong and delicious
Starbucks has great the young ladies are 👌 and got everything correctly. No problems
Staff is always friendly. I like getting my coffee here.
Always gets my order correctly with a winning smile too!
Courteous staff, yummy coffee, and spent time with a friend.
Every time I go to get coffee, there’s a lovely lady named Ariel who writes sweet, thoughtful messages on my cup wishing me a great day. It always makes me so happy and truly makes me feel special and valued. More than the taste of the coffee—which is already delicious—it’s these kinds of small, kind gestures from someone I don’t even know that really make a difference. Also, I have to say, the matcha she made for me (I got a light matcha) was amazing! I’m adding a photo of it too. I hope I get lucky and she’s there every time I order from now on. I also hope others get to experience her kindness. There’s another kind lady working there too—once I learn her name, I’ll make sure to mention her as well.
This is my go to Starbucks. They never mess up an order and if they do, (only happen to me once) they fix it on the spot.
Small & clean with a ➕ vibe. Oh, and the best Brn Sugr Oatmilk Espresso to date. Although the friendly and patient barista doesn't get all the credit for that. I believe I have perfected the drink (if you don't count the nearly $10 price tag...). Use your stars for this one, folks!
I love Starbucks PIKE PLACE black... I get my 7am coffee here daily while visiting my old pal ! *Register gal Gina makes this Starbucks sweeter than all the rest!

Super friendly staff to every customer that walked in. They welcomed me in and ask how I was doing.
Nolan made my Morning, such a long road trip and needed a comfy Starbucks with good coffee, good people and good restroom. Here in Cotati he had a calming kind vibe, much appreciated and welcomed. Another gal there name starts with St was not so much. Bless her heart perf improv plan recommend + customer service matters ⚓️🧿 ps thanks St for letting me know where I could throw my trash away, behind me for the straw wrapper. I’ve noted where the trashcan is and I’ll be more courteous next time, put my own straw wrapper in the trashcan behind me, and other pissy attitudes you gave are forgiven St on Fri 10/25/24 mid-day 😳🤔🕊️ ** updated to 5 stars Nolan deserves all 5
My favorite Starbucks in Sonoma County. I mobile order and the girls STILL Know me by name and say good morning everyday. Real personalities that shine through the real culture of Starbucks. Well Done!
Great outdoor seating. No drive thru. Good service.
This Starbucks location at Cotati California has the best employers that work here :) Once in a while when I come here to get some coffee or something else off their menu. They always greet me :)
Just passing through and needed a quick pick me up. My barista, Mary, greeted me with a sweet smile and was very helpful and patient while I couldn’t decide what I wanted to order. I am really loving my Cold foam blonde iced coffee with 2 packets of agave! This will be my new go to favorite cold drink! Thank you Mary for the suggestion.
Fast service and great staff. I usually order ahead and my drink is always on time and taste excellent. As far Starbucks goes it's one of the best locally.

Miss the old location in Windsor, but this location does offer better seating inside/ outside for customers. Staff is always very friendly and of course consistent with brand items.
Predictable beverages. Love the neighborhood vibe on their street side patio.
Never can go wrong if you need a quick fix for coffee, just make sure you order online before.
Coffee is nice it's not crazy all the time and if they mess up your order they will fix it
Employees always friendly and there is usually a small to medium wait - depending on what time of day you go.
Very quick service, polite baristas, and a relaxed atmosphere. Will return.
A bit small but in line with the size of most Starbucks stores. Friendly staff and usually quick.
The staff is friendly here and when the location is not crowded it's a great place to knock some work out.
Better than a lot of Starbucks I've been to. No drive thru. Just expensive coffee.
It has good drinks, ok food and it's a little cramped but my friends and I hang out there alot
They are always so nice and food was perfectly prepared.
The staff are nice. The frappacinos are good. Cheese danish is pretty good.
Not a drive-thru but convenient and good service. Typical Starbucks. You can count on them for consistency.
Nice staff who don't try to argue with (or gaslight) customers. The space is unfortunately cramped, uncomfortable, and not at all conducive to "just hang out," but it is clean in public areas with only minor clutter chaos visible behind the counter.
No drive-thru and the parking lot is often busy. One of the smaller local Starbucks. The team is always very fast. Even though there are only a few tables inside, they do have a large patio area with many tables. Lastly, there always seem to be homeless/drifters around.

Chai Latte's is never hot at this location and the foam is so much it should be charged as a small size. and again doesn't taste right and if they paid more attention to making a good drink and not so worried about talking at the counter, they might make a descent coffee.

I used to love this location. The new seating layout is not condusive to much social interaction, comfort or privacy. Truly disappointed.
The employees hang around on their off time constantly, and are kinda super loud? They'r enice, but it makes for an aggravating place to study, sometimes.
You'd think that this being one of it's busiest locations they would be more welcoming and aware
Inconsistent personal cup procedure. Their former method was to measure it out in their own reusable cup and pour it into mine. Today, because their training is uneven and no one talks to each other, they made my drink in a disposable cup and suggested I throw that away after mere seconds of use. How stupid ARE they? No one is even trying to reduce waste. Back to boycotting.
Surly, unfriendly service - mistakes on order... I’m a big Starbucks fan but this one needs work. Today I asked for a coffee cake and a mocha no whipped cream... received a cookie. Replaced with the right item. Mocha comes with whipped. Nicely notified the unsmiling staff... who then just use a spoon to get most of cream out. Asked for a new one - since I realllly don’t like cream. No apology given - they seemed put out that I asked them to fix their mistakes. Avoid this one.
Unfortunately the Baristas working there couldn't answer questions, they were not even aware of a recall poster that was set up in front of the register. Customer service okay after all it is a Starbucks and the location is not the best. A little bit more training with the youngsters in there working the Starbucks and you might have a four-star coffee shop! The display of edibles were not very appetizing.

While waiting for our beverages, I took a bite of my sandwich. It burned my throat to the point I needed water immediately. The barista told me I had to order through the register which I did. I asked if she could quickly get me some water as I had just burned my throat. She told me she was busy with 20 drinks ahead of me. I had to drink water from the bathroom sink. When I came out, the cashier was kind enough to hand me a cup of water.
