  Craving for an Ultra Caramel Frappuccino. Asked Ruben, "What's the difference between the Ultra Caramel Frappuccino and the Caramel Crunch Frappuccino?" He explained to me the Ultra Crunch has a little crunch atop the cold brew whipped cream. Had a pleasant interaction with Ruben. I appreciate his pleasant demeanor and smile. He was also helpful.
  
  I ended up ordering Caramel Crunch Frappuccino. Loved it! The crunch made my drink more appealing in presentation and taste. After Ruben handed me my drink, he said, "If you need anything else, let me know, ok?" No barista ever said that to me before. Enjoyed the great service!

  I'm shocked I haven't reviewed this Starbucks yet. I used to come here more often back when I was a still a college student at UCSD. This Starbucks store and the one at Costa Verde are usually filled with students studying.
  
  I hadn't been back in a long time but I went a few weeks ago to get a snack for the movie theater LOL. I got an iced caramel macchiato and a ham & cheese croissant. The girl who took my order wasn't really paying attention and we were waiting for a while at the counter for my croissant, the other barista asked after about 15 min if we still needed something and I said I never got my croissant, the girl was like "Oh yeah! That was me! I forgot!"... Oh well.

  This Starbucks is extremely loud and difficult to find a spot to sit in. For some reason this Starbucks in particular is one that a lot of people loiter at, so if you're trying to find a cafe to study in, it probably won't be this one. The service is friendly, however, like at most Starbucks cafes. I must say that I feel like they could use more workers during rush hours because, like I said, they are extremely busy. This Starbucks is pretty convenient to go to, but you could probably go to the one in Ralph's and get quicker drinks. The parking lot is also one of the worst designs I've ever seen-- hectic driving and terrible parking skills are all you will see from the drivers in this parking lot.

  Omgggg it's so nice and air conditioned in here !! Plus service was swift , kind , and efficient . They're located on top floor by Trader Joe's and relax back store .
  
  Not a ton of inside seating so I'm sure the college crowds keep this place packed .
  
  There's outdoor patio seating  which is dog friendly .
  
  Girl making coffee wasn't as pleasant but oh well ! The coffee tastes fine regardless .
  
  Someone tried to walk off with my coffee so make sure you check your name on cup before you walk away :)

  One thing for sure, this is a very busy Starbucks, not surprising residing between Trader Joe's and Ralp's to places that see a lot of traffic already. So, no wonder this place was non stop with people coming and going.
  
  While here, I had a multigrain bagel toasted with butter and a cafe misto with a dark Italian roast. They toasted the bagel well as I asked. The only problem was the two organic butter packages were hard as a rock when they came so I had to give them some time to soften before spreading them onto the bagels. In the end, the bagels were good and the butter tasty.
  
  The cafe misto was alright. It was a little harsh, even with the 2% steamed milk. It tasted good, but I would preferred that it would of went down smoother.
  
  The staff members here were not much for conversation, but I guess they were quite busy.
