Love my local Starbucks! I have gotten to know all the baristas, they are all so nice
Pink drink is the bomb so good & the lemonade
Love the atmosphere
Very little parking.
Parking: Five spots that are shared with a gas station and a Subway.
This Starbucks has the most friendly people, and the store is very clean!
This is good place for Rest Area if you go to South California.
Called rude after charging me for the wrong amount for the wrong drink!
Store layout is poor not to mention the parking lot!! The drive-thru was closed what a hassle glad we don’t live here. Drinks were made well .
Close already today 5/18. Hours were from 5:30am to 1pm. Would have helped to post a CLOSED sign. Instead of a door print out. A lot of people tried going to the drive thru, but ended up backing up.

“ burnt tri tip” burrito was amazing. The meat was really tender and flavorful. Bbq sauce was yummy as well.
Esta increíble el lugar
Always a fun place to stop.
Super clean place for a little tourist shopping.
One of the best tourist traps
Looks neat & appears to have local items but closes very early and food wasn’t warm or very good.
Cold and unwelcoming
Wow, we ate at the restaurant, and the food was supposed to be Tex Mex but it was nothing but disappointing. Ribs and chicken with a very flavorless BBQ sauce and plenty grease for me. Meanwhile my wife refused to describe her tri-tip sandwich but it looked dry and she did say flavorless and “not good”. The coleslaw is cabbage only. No dressing of any kind, I am not exaggerating. The beans were okay. Unbelievable how bad it was considering it was served in a southwestern state and it’s supposed to be Tex Mex. Probably could get better Tex Mex in Tibet or Tanzania. The shopping area looked fine for a freeway exit stop, but they weren’t going to get any more money from me.
3. McDonald’s

Always stop here when traveling to Pismo. Fast, quick and clean.
Attached to a gas station
Small restaurant, too crowded
Friendly staff… Otherwise, Maccie D’s is Maccie D’s… You know what you’re getting
Very poor got our orders wrong didn’t have gift cards
Ordered a fish sandwich thought the tarter sauce would come in the sandwich not all over in the whole side of it
Im getting tired of poor quality and high prices watered down coffee

Very clean stop for tesla owners. Even has a pet relief spot.
Fantastic concept by Tesla for supercharging their cars … This the best place to charge our Tesla on our way back from Vegas to sanjose…!!
Overall concept and experience is great , However the coffee mechine was out of cups , Trust the Tesla team will have better inventory management in future to avoid such inconvenience to the visitors in future
무료 화징실 정수기, 와이파이, 소파..
유료 음료 , 과자 자판기, 카페
사막의 오아시스 같네요.
Definitely an awesome location and 100% worth the visit, only things are they block a couple random sites on the wifi (discord…?) And people seem to take “lounge” a little too freely and bring their poorly behaved dogs inside, watched a woman trying to give her dog water by dumping it in the dogs mouth on the floor even though there’s dog fountains and rest areas outside, furniture is a little bit worn seems like it could use a refresh but overall love this place
Nice place to relax Whole your car is getting charged. If you are there between 9-5 they even have a barista serving coffee
Didn’t even know this was a think. Nice
I went in for a double espresso.
I hadnthe impression that the barista didn’t know what she was doing.
She grinded some coffee, tamped the coffee in the portafilter grinded some more on top and tamped again. Both times not making any effort to tamp level. She apparently wasn’t dosing by weight or time and had no idea how to tamp.
But she was pleasant and polite while serving me.
The espresso turned out bitter. I couldn’t finish it.

Surprisingly fun family stopover on the long road down to Los Angeles from NorCal. Well worth the visit and time. And there are less expensive gas options ($1/gallon cheaper) just north of the commercial sprawl.
The perfect stop on the way to the central coast. They have lots of room to stretch out and relax. There are large, clean restrooms. And the food is really good, especially the tri tip sandwiches and the french fries.
This place was awesome!! Stop here, you won’t regret it! Good food, good prices, fun items, play spaces, clean bathrooms, electric charging stations, AC, water, ice cream, shoot outs!
Kid-friendliness: Plenty of fun things for young and older kids!
Great place to stop on my SJ to LA road trips. I love that they have a dog park for those times I bring my dog. The food is decent too.
I would love for the upstairs to be cleaned up and open for seating
convenient for travellers, located at the back of the truck stop.
nice view of old buildings like an old west cowboy athmosphere.
food is OK.
too hot to walk around during summer time.
I will never eat here again! My lettuce was super dirty. Eewww totally don’t recommend! I wish I can give zero stars.
Too pricey! Everything is for tourist!
Food is mediocre. The out door mini town is the most attractive part of this restaurant/shop. For whatever reason the staff closed the men’s restroom for 1 person and took forever to reopen it. My 4yr old with ASD needed to use the restroom urgently. Completely inappropriate of the staff. Staff seems to hate life. Don’t blame them working here.
6. Mobil
Address: 33300 Bernard Dr, Kettleman City, CA 93239 , Kettleman City , California , United States
Over charge for gas and everything else just because of their remote location. It is not right at all.
Do you like gas? What about snacks? And finally… Starbucks?
Oh boy do I have a place for you. This gas station has it all, gas, snacks, and even a full Starbucks…whaaaa? Yeah it’s pretty amazing and unheard of, especially int he exact middle of California.
You may be thinking, but the Shell is right next door. But you’ll be missing out on the Starbucks and the Mobil gas (which is chemically different than Shell).
Ignore the cluster F that is a small gas station with like 9 pumps during the holidays – it’s your fault for driving during that time, not Mobil’s.
Good coffee
I have alway hated how gas stations right off the highway are always so expensive because they know you basically have no choice when your traveling but to pay those prices.
Glad for the gas.
Yes gas is overpriced like other reviewers confirmed but place is near highway and share lot with starbucks.
Over priced gas
overpriced gas
They need to clean their bathrooms

These are good, kind, knowledgeable people. They have helped me find what I need and ask the right questions to make sure I get the right thing. I am a new guitar player. They always make me feel welcome and I never feel rushed or like I am asking stupid questions. I enjoy supporting them as an honest, local business and appreciate the personal service.
Great selection of instruments. He’ll setup your action and tune it up for ya too. Really nice guy.
Great store with helpful people inside to assist with anything music related.
Nice little place. Have gone in a few times for reeds and picks. Staff is really nice and helpful.
I will say that they advertise that they have music teachers who offer lessons there. And say to call for availability… don’t waste your time. I called six times (in a month) to inquire about violin lessons and left messages each time, never heard back. Finally go in, and they say they don’t offer lessons for her age, not a big deal, it just was an irritant to not have messages returned.
