rice 2 Ventura Reviews
While on vacation ( holiday ) i popped in here 3 times and every time cheerful welcome a smile and great service tried a few items can’t get in Uk and even had the walnut loaf
This is a great little Starbucks location! Fast and friendly service even though it was busy at noon on a sunny weekday. I did find it odd that the space was too small for indoor seating. However, why would you want to sit in a crowded indoor space when you could sit outside on their patio listening to chill music from the outdoor speakers. Super atmosphere bonus, it's just a few blocks frome the ocean. I observed that most of the customers were making carry out orders, probably because there is no drive thru. This location has a decent amount of parking nearby so it makes sense that folks wouldn't mind walking in to get their Starbucks. If you are in downtown Ventura and you want a quick Starbucks, I highly recommend that you give this place a try.
Love the outdoor seating this location provides on their front patio! 🌳 🪑 ☕️ Parking 🅿️ located right behind and street side. Coffee of course is Starbucks ⭐️ so, it’s always good 👍
Went Starbucks in Ventura. Yeah we're tourists. Great service and great matcha ice coffee from Bee.
Delicioso Pecan Crunch oatmilk latte
Great service and fast. Typical Starbucks experience which is nice. The only odd thing is that there is no place to sit down inside. Not a big deal but it’s a pretty small place. Other than that, I recommend stopping in for some coffee.

Great staff, Jay is a beast. Frequent fliers earn miles. Not going to recommend the breakfast to everyone but if you need some quick protein not bad. The tea is always really good cold, hot, or frozen. Always consistent you get what you expect everytime.
Starbucks is always a good idea, but this one is on Main Street in the middle of Ventura. There are a few tables outside overlooking the walking part of Main Street. The people behind the counter are really nice and very friendly. It's a really nice way to take a break from the craziness of life.
This is a great Starbucks location by main street , this place was always my first stop before work. Loved the service and drinks were always handled with care. Seating and a general dining area is a bit lacking but there is a beach nearby and plenty of places to walk and explore in the area.
The two ladies working today blonde employee and brunette at 1:00pm remade my drink from a different starbucks. They were super fast especially with my little Rugrats running around! Haha! Thank you guys so much for making my drink it was delicious! You all ROCK!!
Great staff today! Two minutes after ordering at register I realized that I made a mistake when ordering and despite it being super busy, they quickly adapted and were able to correct my order without it affecting the assembly line. I felt guilty asking, but the attitude of the staff was positive and happy to fix my order. Thank you all for working today. You are awesome.

Consistently good coffee and friendly service. The drinks were made just right, and the atmosphere was clean and inviting. It can get a bit busy at peak times, but overall, it’s a reliable stop for a caffeine fix

I'm not a fan of the drive-by ethos. 'Twas best to gather and mingle in the day!

Changed a ton since covid obviously, but wierd vibe and the girl at the register could barely figure out how to tear off the receipt when I asked her for it. Idiocracy in full swing out there!!

I asked for a cup of water and they refused I offered to pay for the water and they refuse again. Bad vibes here!
I've always respected Starbucks' right to set policies, but my recent experience left me disappointed. I purchased a large latte and left the store to walk around. When I returned about two hours later to use the restroom, I was denied access because I was no longer considered a "current customer." Even after explaining that I had made a purchase earlier, the staff told me I couldn’t leave, walk around, and come back to use their restroom I understand the need for policies, but this felt unnecessarily strict. As a paying customer, I should be able to use the restroom within a reasonable time frame. This kind of rigidity makes loyal customers feel unwelcome. I often take my dog for a pup cup, and small gestures like that are what keep people coming back—not necessarily the coffee itself. To be honest, I pay for the experience and the extras, not just the drink. I know Starbucks is focused on profit, but treating customers this way will only drive more people away. Good luck, Starbucks and the Downtown Ventura location! I know you won’t care, but you’ve officially lost one customer.
Me and my wife have ordered thousands of times Starbucks food and coffee. Well I walk in to use the bathroom and was denied because I need to make a purchase I was told or I can’t use the bathroom. This is very unprofessional as a service company. I won’t be returning to this location. Neither will my wife and all I can convince not to.
They have 5 people working with a small line. My order was just sitting there it's literally a pre-made tea and water. With no help from any employee. Probably the worst starbucks location I've ever been too. Sorry but your job is simple, AI will soon being your job lol
The girl this morning messed up my order. She wasn't friendly about it at all and when she remade it the coffee tastes bitter and not drinkable.
Worst experience we’ve had at a Starbucks! Twice not just once. We’ve gone 2 times in the last month and both times my 14 yr old daughter and sister were met with the nastiest attitude and looks from the employees. Both females I could not read the name on their tag but will definitely be going in to check. The drinks were made wrong both times but we did not want to waste time for a remake with an attitude such as theirs.
