Royal Kitchen Oakland Reviews
Its a busy one but conveniently located right outside the Oakland airport. It's a little on the small side so seating may be an issue during the busy parts of the day. The store is clean and the staff are pretty easy going which adds volumes to the atmosphere. If you like Lattes or Cappuccinos this place knows how to foam. I throughly enjoyed mine (cap). For business travelers, this is place you might want to consider to get last minute work done. There's not to many people on the WiFi so the connection is quite quick compared to the airport.
Staff was out of a few ingredients, probably due to the summer heat. Still served with a smile and helped out. Great spot.

I love this Starbucks the staff is on point and the manager does a great job with his crew. He actually works, takes orders, cleans the front, and I think I've seen him clean the bathroom as well. This Starbucks has a great vibe throughout the day and always have smiles for the customers.
I love coming to this Starbucks. It is clean and friendly. I drive from Berkeley all the way here just to enjoy a warm toasted bagel with cream cheese and coffee. Wouldn't go anywhere else. They have wonderful wonderful customer service.
Located close to Oakland airport. There is enough seating to sit an enjoy your coffee. Ordered Cafe Latte, quick service. Pretty consistent quality.
Better than average Starbucks, they are busy but they seem to handle it. The lot is TINY and crowded at times, but in the morning you'll find parking around the side of Indian restaurant. Cheerful friendly staff who listen and get your order right. Lots of smiles here.

I'm from Texas. The "vibe" here was definitely "California chill". Loved how nice (in a low key way) the employees were. Biggest problem is that this is a really small, really busy location - so it was kinda dirty until employees could get a break to clean up. Bathrooms were clean though. My sandwich was toasted to perfection and SUPER yummy! They also lost a star because they ran out of chocolate pastries - midday...not a cookies, cakes pop, brownie... THAT'S BAD!

Employees are very courteous. I stopped by to do a short zoom meeting while having breakfast. But noticed that background music is a bit loud and have to mute my mic most of the time so decided to stay in my car instead. Not perfect place for a business chat. Barista is great though, he got my Frappuccino perfect as usual.
I love Starbucks, however yesterday they were short of staff, which made the wait long. They had only one drink mixer however she worked very hard and managed to keep an uplifting personality. Thumbs up to the cash register staff person and the mixer. Good Job.

Most disgusting bathroom. There shouldn’t be piss all over the toilet seat and the floor. It’s a unisex bathroom there’s plenty of men parked around taking up all the parking spaces, so I wonder if that has anything to do with it. No soap available either.
our favorite coffee shop every Sundays but today I did not like it the bread was bad has mold I returned them and they did not replace my bread and they not give my money back they don't know how to apologized so be careful with your snak

I just left. The cashier was lovely however the barista is another story. She didn't apply the cap properly on my vento americano with vanilla. As I walked away the cap popped off...the coffee was appropriately hot..but it spilled and hot. My hand was burned and coffee spilled on the floor. The barista never once asked if I was ok nor did she bother asking if I needed another coffee or top off. She appeared dejected because she had to clean up the floor. My americano did not have any flavored of vanilla which I did request . It was not busy..there was 1 other person in there...so no excuse for lack of customer service.

DO NOT stop at this Starbucks, it is a hot spot for car break ins. I was in the store for less than 2 minutes and my car got broken into. When I ask the employees inside to see if they can access outside camera footage, none offered any assistance. They even told me this happens all the time.
I understand it’s Christmas Eve, I understand it’s 5am. But smile and be nice to your customers. I spent $6 on a cup of coffee, not a nice place to start your coffee day. The people that work here are not very happy.
Did they nail your cup too? and coffee spilled on you? They do this to customers they don't want. “hi, can I have a coffee?” I have nothing else to say! Or am I being racist?
Experiences at Starbucks is only getting worse, they even don’t be bothered to make your drink right. Staffs in this store are extra rude...
DO NOT GO HERE. 3 cars got smashed windows and broken into in 40 minutes. I was inside for Starbucks for 60 seconds when this happened to me. The most expensive coffee I’ve ever had. 🙃 Not worth the inevitable risk.

Had my car smashed in while grabbing a cup of coffee within 60 seconds of parking, and had some luggage taken out of the tru..have fun doing my dirty laundry lol! It also seems a little too coincidental that 2 of the Starbucks employees were on their phones right before it happened and then seemed to disappear right afterwards..anyways, definitely avoid..well, unless you like the never-ending pleasure making insurance claims! One last thing, from experience, the Oakland PD will not respond to this location per their dispatch; all claims have to be filed online, that's a pretty telling sign on just how bad the Starbucks and Chevron are.
BEWARE!! I would definitely stear clear of this Starbucks if you care about your safety and valuables. Several people had their property stolen in the parking lot and it seems to happen daily which I'm sure the establishments are aware of. Service is also super slow so.....
I used one of the restroom this morning and the one I used didn’t have any bath tissue and toilet seat paper. I should have informed people who worked there this morning, but I didn’t, because I was afraid- if I say something to them then they might pick on me later because I need to get my morning coffee from this Starbucks and I hope I may not have this problem next time I need to use the restroom.
