This is the strangest Sbux I have ever been to. It's totally bipolar in there. I guess that's what happens when you deal with "North Bethesda" all day. Still...it is very strange.

Abel was very cool and helped me out with my rewards points which expired tomorrow. I got my usual Blonde Latte with an extra shot of espresso (his suggestion). Wow, killer! #Latte #Starbucks #barista

A cozy neighborhood favorite. I wish it were a little larger/more seating. Parking available at the door.

Been going to this Starbucks for over 15 yrs. Lately, they can’t seem to be bothered to read drink labels. I always sub sugar free vanilla in place of the regular vanilla. The two taste very different & it is obvious when they don’t use the sugar free syrup. I was also a barista at a different store for a number of years so I understand that sometimes things get overlooked but this has been happening constantly.Most recently, my order included a drink that specified sugar free vanilla & only 3 pumps. The first drink definitely used the regular vanilla & far too much milk. I attempted to drink it but it was too gross so I went back inside & asked for it to be remade. The barista was pleasant, but told me that drink comes with regular vanilla but he’d use sugar free just for me. He used more pumps than I asked for & still used too much milk. I double checked my drink label to make sure I had made the right customizations & I did.If a barista makes a mistake, I understand they are human but don’t try to act like the customer is making a special request bc you can’t be bothered to read a label.People asking for sugar free aren’t necessarily counting calories, they may be diabetic & you would be drastically messing up their blood sugar & insulin dosage. Please pay attention.Dietary restrictions: People asking for sugar free aren’t necessarily counting calories, they may be diabetic & you would be drastically messing up their blood sugar & insulin dosage.

Busy, but good service. Limited seating.

The staff is nice, but the regular coffee is always watered down. It tastes weak and nothing like Starbucks coffee. I've been there multiple times and it's always like that. I've had to heat it up too because it was warm, not hot. Other people have told me they avoid this location for that reason.

I " ever write negative reviews. I love being positive and giving businesses praise, but todays trip to the Darnestown Starbucks was really disappointing. I've never been to this Starbucks. The first thing I saw when I walked in the door is overflowing trash from two trash cans as soon as you walk in. It was 4 in the afternoon on a Friday and there were only three people in the restaurant so it wasn't like it was crowded. I walked up to the counter to order. The young guy sweeping looked as if I was interrupting him to have to stop andctake my order. He walked up and did not even greet me. It felt very unwelcoming. I stood there waiting for him to say something . He finally said in a very low and under his breath way , "What can I get for you?" It was cold and unfriendly and overall just not a good vibe. The barista came over and took over and she was very pleasant and made me a delicious drink. I'm only writing this for the sake to let people know that when you work for a business. You are the face of the business and you can either uplift someone's day or take it down a notch. Starbucks is generally a place where the workers are friendly and warm and i'm sorry that this was not the same experience as I get in other locations. I do sincerely wish the best for the young man hope and I hope he has a better day. We all have bad days and maybe this was out of the norm.

i had my friend pick up a grande caramel macchiato & the brown sugar shaken drink here for the first time. i usually go to the kentlands location but they were out of oatmilk. my macchiato has no milk and just taste like burnt coffee. no vanilla and no caramel was added. i’ve ordered this drink many many times and it’s never once looked like this even with almond milk. the shaken espresso was also lacking the brown sugar syrup.

Great employees... Please bring back self serve canisters for coffee.

I'm generally not a huge Starbucks fan, it strikes me as over-roasted and priced coffee. However, the little vanilla bean scones are worth the trip. (The 1 star is really for the scones.) Coffee was, as usual, nice and hot but burnt and bitter. I ordered extra room for cream and she asked me if I wanted the cream or just the space. Ok, odd question until she told me they keep the cream amd sweeteners behind the counter now. I asked if that was a COVID thing or was going to be permanent and she said it was permanent. So I said please put the cream in. She didn't ask what type and I dontnknow of I got 1% or half and half although I bet 1% because of the taste. Deleting the app as soon as I spend what's left on it and back to McDonald's where at least I can stir in what I want and get it to taste the way I want it.
