I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Koreatown, Los Angeles) in Sept 2025
Interview
About an hour long lots of questions. They ask personality based questions to see if you are friendly and can hold a conversation . That wanted to see how you handle hard questions from customers or unfriendly ones or ones you might not know answers to
Easy-going, conversational, friendly. They were understanding and listened well. It was easy to speak to them. However, interviewing in a busy store can get a bit difficult with everyone inside the store.
Basic questions about my personality, reliability, and desire to work. Not very difficult however be prepared to talk about yourself and show a willingness to learn and you should be fine.
The interview was quite easy and relaxed. They asked me about different case scenarios, how I would handle certain situations, and discussed my previous work experience in detail. The interviewers were friendly and professional throughout the process, which made me feel comfortable. As a nice gesture, they also offered me a free coffee while I was there.
