Starbucks in Silver Spring

“I happened to be in the area and stopped in for a quick bite. It had been a while since I visited this Starbucks location, and I really enjoyed the vibe. It was not crowded and felt like an easy, comfortable spot to grab something and relax for a moment. Someone was working on an elaborate craft project, which honestly says a lot about the atmosphere. It is a typical size Starbucks, but it feels welcoming and unhurried.

The staff were friendly, patient, and helpful. I had not yet experienced the Starbucks holiday menu, and there are quite a few new items, so I appreciated having a moment to take it all in before ordering.

One pleasant surprise was seeing Truff hot sauce available. That definitely caught my attention. If they ever add a Truff aioli or oil, that would be a great addition. Starbucks is clearly stepping up its offerings.

For those looking for seasonal options, they have eggnog, the sugar cookie latte, and several holiday themed treats. There are also small gift items that make easy stocking stuffers, which adds a festive touch without feeling overwhelming.

I would absolutely stop by this location again if I am in the area. Parking is easy, with a dedicated lot and plenty of spaces, which makes the visit especially convenient.“

“This is my favorite Starbucks location :). The staff here are always so upbeat and kind. They so cute things like put fun stickers on the drinks for customers. They also host community events, including open mic nights. Great vibes here. Keep up the great work!“

“cozy and relaxing environment, perfect for unwinding and enjoying some calm moments. The space is wide, comfortable, and ideal for having a good cup of coffee or any drink and snack of your choice. A great spot to take a break and enjoy the atmosphere.“

“Met a high school senior who’s applying to my college for an alumni interview: the staff were exceptionally friendly, which set a great atmosphere for the interview. When full, this place gets a bit loud, but most of the time it was only about 1/2-full. We had privacy and were left alone to talk for nearly three hours.“

“I absolutely love this Starbucks location inside Safeway. It’s a bit of a shame that they don’t participate in the main Starbucks rewards program, but they do partner with Safeway’s program, which I’m also a member of. I collect points and sometimes get groceries, and other times I score coffee at a great discount thanks to Safeway’s deals.

Overall, I really enjoy coming here.Whenever I order, there’s usually one super sweet girl working (unfortunately, I don’t know her name), but she always makes amazing drinks. She’s generous with ingredients, ensures everything is top quality, and prepares it all very quickly. Even when it’s busy, she never compromises on the quality or speed of service. Speaking of crowds, if it’s too packed, I usually skip it and come back later when it’s quieter, and then I get to fully enjoy my delicious drink, made perfectly every time.

The place seems clean and well-maintained—at least from what I can see. I hope it’s as spotless as it looks! Everything seems to be running smoothly there.

The downside is that they don’t offer the usual Starbucks discounts, and there aren’t any tables to sit at or wait because it’s inside Safeway and functions more like a quick grab-and-go spot. But as a fast, mobile coffee stop, it’s perfect.

I’ve always had pleasant and polite service here, and that makes me keep coming back.“

“Writing this review to say that Aysia is wondeful and always makes the experience of being in store a lovely one. I've been coming to this Starbucks for years and it has always been pleasant, but had to give a shoutout to a great barrista! Thanks for your cute cup notes and bright vibes!!“

“The staff at this Starbucks are so amazing and an example of how great service can be. I'm not a regular, but I am always impressed when I am standing there how many people are and their connection with staff.
But I'm writing this review because, recently, I was driving around my sick baby. I had been up for hours (even though it was 7am) and needed to eat. I ordered from here, and then of course when we got here my baby had finally fallen asleep. I didn't know what to do, so on an impulse (knowing how kind I have seen the manager and staff being to regulars) I parked outside and called to ask if someone could bring out my order, apologizing of course because they don't have curbside pickup. Sure enough, the manager brought out my order and my baby got to sleep.
I am incredibly grateful. ❤️“

“Starbucks does everything well, except those boxes of coffee, which, when ordered, are never done on time. Their one mystery. Oh, that and running out of the little green stoppers.....Otherwise, they're the best coffee company in the world....“

“Just wanted to give a special shoutout for the excellent service provided by one of the barista’s Loic when I went into this location last week. I’d had a rough day and stopped in for coffee and to read a bit before an appointment. He was very patient as I took some time to decide on a drink and prepared it correctly and very quickly once I finally made a decision. You never know when something as simple as a good customer service interaction will be enough to brighten someone’s day, so just wanted to thank Loic for a lovely customer service that made me smile.“

“As one who visits this Starbucks quite frequently, I’d like to highlight Angel for his exceptional customer service. Today I ordered a matcha latte and asked for it to be sweetened. Upon me trying, I noticed it was not sweet at all. This is my go to drink and I know what it should taste like. When I came back in, I mentioned to the barista who took my order and made my drink that my drink wasn’t sweet enough and the gesture given to me was to open my cup and more syrup would be placed in the cup. That was unusual, especially since someone ahead of me was offered their drink to be remade. Mind you, I had only taken a sip or two out of my cup. Angel noticed that I still wasn’t satisfied and proceeded to answer my question about how the drink is made and he took it upon himself to make me a new drink. As a frequent customer, that’s the type of service that keeps customers like myself coming back. Thank you again and may the management team continue to do an awesome job in the midst of busy times.“
