I applied in-person. I interviewed at Starbucks (Riverside, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
Brief, waited for a long time. We sat in the corner of the cafe. She was very chill and easy to talk to; I was comfortable. I was asked about my work experience and when I could work.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
My availability during the week and if I could work weekends.
very easy and straightforward, they did a coffee tasting and was asked to describe the coffee taste. They focus on customer service, and knowing starbucks slang and the company goals is always a plus
It was short and to the point. They asked my availability and past experience working in the food industry. Since I didn’t have any, I felt it was going to prevent me from getting the job.
Usual standard process of interviewing, we went over my experience and knowledge of working as barista in coffee shops and restaurants in my previous jobs. Highly recommend as a great place to work at !!
