Their prices are ridiculous! They are 60 % higher than other Starbucks! Didn’t realize it until we had already ordered, but will not be coming back. Many other great coffee shops in the area, or even another Starbucks a couple of miles away.
Only 2 people working. 1 person stood at register and only rang up orders. Sat on his phone waiting for next order. Only 1 girl making drinks. Prices were ridiculously overpriced, even for a tourist town.

I don't understand why this particular Starbucks is 40% to 55% higher than every other Starbucks I visit. Staff is friendly and place is clean. Based on pricing I would give it no stars.
I wish I would’ve read the reviews before coming here. Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience at this Starbucks, and it was because of the bad customer service. It was very obvious that the cashier that was taking care of me was very frustrated with the register she was using for some reason, and she already wasn’t very welcoming to begin with. There was something wrong with the register and she couldn’t figure it out so she started slamming on the counter. So most of my time was spent standing behind the counter waiting to pay. The whole exchange was just very uncomfortable, and none of the employees were communicating with each other. And the lady behind me even got her drink before mine, probably because of the lack of communication between all 3 of the employees lol.
So yeah, wouldn’t recommend this location. I’m used to the high prices and somewhat long wait times at Starbucks (I’m from Chicago), but I just can’t get past a Starbucks with bad customer service 🤷🏻♀️

Coming from a tourist town in coastal California, I wasn’t expecting an over $3 uncharge per item ($8 base price on what is typically a $5 drink in Monterey, CA edit: looked it up and the same drink is only $7 in Times Square in NYC). The “oh it makes sense because we’re at the beach” logic doesn’t justify this level of price gouging. Capitalism run rampant. Let it pray on you if you’re an idiot, but if not I’d avoid this money grubbing location.
