Starbucks

This is the quintessential Starbucks store in Seattle. It's got a very homie comfortable lounging area where you can stop and enjoy your beverage. In this day of covid-19 they are allowing inside seating with proper distancing of course. The staff is very friendly and of course the products being served are typical of Starbucks high standards.

Hardly leave reviews for anywhere I visit but cannot resist with this location. Kevin and the rest of his staff are beyond courteous, kind and professional and only bring absolute quality to the table every. single. visit. Kevin really pulled me in as a regular and I hope he’s valued as an immense asset to this store and company. He sets the standards and his staff follows without hesitation.

Cozy space with a lovely fireplace, and the baristas are warm and friendly and always remember me and what I order — which is impressive given how many names and orders they must have to memorize! My only complaint is that you have to be escorted to the bathroom like a wayward child rather than just given the code like at normal Starbuckses even though the lavatory doors are in direct view of the staff; if it wasn't for that this location would be perfect.

I don't buy coffee very often but when I run out or my grinder breaks and I have a long day ahead, it's nice to know this Starbucks is here. The drink selection, as far as I can tell, is a decision made by corporate so I'm not sure how much there is to say about those. The selection is impressive and this location offers hot & cold drinks, or even bags of whole beans if that's your thing. The location itself is really very nice in terms of decor and decoration. There's a lot of very tasteful dark wood grain and metal struts to reinforce the beams. It gives off a very quasi-industrial feel that I really enjoy. The space is very spaced out since so many people get their drinks to-go. The bar itself is kind of tucked away (insofar as such a thing is possible with such a large bar) a bit into the shop which is laid out in a kind of T-shape. There's a patio area out back and a few tables out in front as well for the warmer days (or for the adventurous during the winter). The staff is really nice and super helpful. I've been scoffed at before at smaller coffee shops for asking for a drink recommendation that didn't taste like coffee but I was taken seriously here which was really nice.

I just had the best experience here! I was greeted by a really nice woman named Violet, I was treated like a human being. In Seattle! Told her I had dietary restrictions and I needed to step out of line (there was no one behind me) to research the Vegan options there. Violet took the time to go through all of the options, which she is very read up on, to tell me what items (my drinks included) are and are not in my diet.

The Best Starbucks in Seattle!! I love the baristas here. They are my friends and they know me and they care which is why whenever I am on the hill I make it my business to come and see them. The hospitality is above what you expect. Simply making customers feel at home away from home. My great friend Kirk loved this place as do I today. I will never forget the memories we had here. With so many delicious things to try there is always something new. If you are looking for a home Starbucks I recommend this one for the great hospitality and customer service that every person deserves.
