Starbucks in Alexandria

“What I like about this Starbucks location is their outdoor seating area right on King Street where I can relax, drink my cappuccino and people watch. I have been here countless times and service is always good. I usually order my drinks in the app which I highly recommend doing as this area can be busy especially on Saturdays during the farmers market.“

“I sometimes stop by because it’s close to my work, and they always get my drink right and serve it quickly. I want to give a special shout-out to Eliana. She is so kind and patient, and she wrote “Bless day” on my cup, which really made my day. Good drinks are usually what bring people in, but thoughtful moments like that are what make me want to keep coming back. Thank you Eliana“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Exceptional Starbucks Team in Alexandria

My wife and I have lived in the area for over 14 years, and in that time we’ve visited more Starbucks locations than I can count. But nothing—and I mean nothing—comes close to the experience we get at our local Starbucks here in Alexandria. This is the one we choose to visit every single morning, 6–7 days per week, without fail. The only days we miss are when we’re traveling for work or pleasure. That’s how special this place is.

From the moment you walk in, the staff sets the tone with genuine warmth, friendliness, and a welcoming energy that’s rare to find anywhere—let alone at a busy coffee shop. The vibe is consistent, the music is fun, and the entire team brings an authenticity that just makes your day start better.

A huge shoutout to Tracy, Karen, Cindy, Miki, Rodas, Teddy, and truly everyone else on the team. I know I’m forgetting a few names, but that’s only because every single person here is fantastic. They treat regulars like family, they greet everyone with a smile, and their customer service is consistently above and beyond what you see at most Starbucks locations.

It’s the kind of store where the staff not only remembers your order—they remember you. They make the morning feel lighter, brighter, and just a little more human. After more than a decade in the neighborhood, I can confidently say this Starbucks stands out as the one that gets it right.

To the whole team: thank you for being so down to earth, so kind, and so effortlessly excellent. You’ve become a part of our morning routine—and honestly, a part of our community.

Highly recommend this location to anyone passing through or living nearby. You won’t find a better crew.“

“I mean... Honestly, what can I say about this location and the people that work there in it?? They are absolutely AMAZING! I've been a Starbucks goer for over 20 years and out of ALL the locations I've ever had as my home this location has always made me feel at it. Please!!! Keep the warm, loving energy you all do!
P.s
They ALL NEED a raise 💞💫“

“The Pinecrest location - off Little River Turnpike—aligns with my expectation of the Starbucks brand. The cafe is clean, the staff is friendly, orders are correct and the outdoor space is inviting in spite of the fact you’re in the middle of a parking lot. I travel 15 minutes out of my way to this location.“

“I spent the morning at this Starbucks while my dog was getting groomed, and I was so impressed with the atmosphere and the team. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a friendly “good morning,” (so was EVERY single customer) which immediately set the tone for my visit.

The whole team worked so well together and genuinely seemed happy to be there. Everyone was kind, personable, attentive and welcoming. It was also really nice to see the baristas greeting some customers by name—it made the environment feel very community-oriented and warm.

This was honestly one of the best Starbucks experiences I’ve had. Huge shoutout to the entire team that was working the morning of 3/10. You all made my morning! ☕😊“

“So it is 2:43 PM on November 21st 2024 I ordered a Vente iced caramel macchiato when I asked for a refill I was told I couldn’t get one on iced caramel macchiato when the thing says you get a free refill but the young lady the perky slightly chunky one said I couldn’t, but the thing says on the advertisement you can get a refill on any drink hot or cold and since I got a iced caramel macchiato, she told me I couldn’t. She didn’t want to scan the app. She didn’t wanna do nothing the one time that I wanna do it, I can’t because somebody doesn’t wanna make me one and I Paid for my first drink, but they wouldn’t allow me to get the second one. She lied and I know it. I am a bit disgruntled by that experience“

“I go here all the time whenever I want Starbucks and the people here are nice and efficient. They always get my order right and sometimes write nice notes or simple greetings on my orders. I don't recommend the drive thru as it can get really busy at times.
P.s.: Try the pumpkin cream cold brew w/sugar free vanil. syrup 🤤🩷“

“This location is more than just your average coffee shop — it's a real part of the community. Not only do they serve up consistently great drinks and food, but the staff go above and beyond with their amazing customer service. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cares about making your day better.
What really sets this Starbucks apart is how involved they are in giving back. Whether it's supporting local events, working with charities, or simply creating a space where everyone feels valued, they’ve made it clear that community matters.
It’s always clean, the vibe is great, and the team knows how to make every visit a positive experience. Highly recommend stopping by — you’ll leave with a smile (and probably your favorite drink perfectly made)!“

“I always have a great experience every time I come to this Starbucks! The service is consistently excellent, everyone is friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel appreciated as a customer.

I especially want to recognize Mehran. He always treats me incredibly well, is genuinely friendly, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure I have a great experience. His customer service really stands out and is a big reason I enjoy coming here.“

“I had an amazing experience at this Starbucks location! I come here every day, and the staff consistently make each visit enjoyable. From the moment I walk in, the team greets everyone with huge smiles and such positive energy. Their sense of humor makes the atmosphere feel welcoming, fun, and genuine. You can tell they truly enjoy what they do and care about creating a great experience for every customer.

Not only are the drinks always made perfectly and quickly, but the customer service is absolutely outstanding. The baristas stay upbeat even during busy moments and always know how to make people smile. They are a perfect representation of what this company stands for, positivity, professionalism, teamwork, and creating meaningful customer experiences. Honestly, even if I lived 50 miles away, I would still make the drive just to come to this specific location because the experience is that exceptional. Thank you all for making my day better every single time, I’ll definitely keep coming back! On that note, big shoutout to JENNIFER, JULES AND CHANELL“

“Must say one of my favorite coffee spots to stop at on my way to work . Tried something different today that was recommended by Leila And I must say , I loved it . Definitely re ordering “Gr Cold Brew - Banana Pro Cf -2 Vanilla Syrup” The atmosphere is so peaceful and relaxing The service is perfect timing“

“Whenever I get the chance to visit this place, it's always an excellent experience for me. Clean location and polite staff. Hannah, Delilah and Sam along with their terrific team showcase their wonderful customer service on a daily basis. It's impressive to remember the customer names, and despite the hustle & bustle of the rush hour, the team is able to take time to chat a bit and provide pleasantry. I will continue to visit this location. Blessings to their team.“

“I had a wonderful experience at the Starbucks inside Safeway recently, thanks to the fantastic customer service provided by Caroline. She was incredibly kind and super helpful at the desk, making sure my order was just right and even offering great suggestions. Caroline truly goes above and beyond for her customers, and her warm smile made my day. Plus, I couldn’t help but notice the adorable cat pins on her hat—they added such a fun and personal touch! I’ll definitely be returning, thanks to Caroline’s excellent service. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“Waiting a really long time for a spinach wrap, only to find out that they had placed it down at the other end of the counter. No big deal except they had been handing them out at the end I was on. They seem to remember all the loyal customers, made it seem more like family. Besides that sanfu everything was really good.“

“This Starbucks by far has been the best one I have been too no ones frappes taste anything like this it is the love that is put into the drink that makes it perfect the customer service here is on a whole other level the greeted me before I even got to the register and remembered my drink and this is only my second time here I love this place !!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Starbucks, and I especially want to recognize Kvonnie for providing such exceptional customer service. From the moment I walked in, the store was very clean, organized, and welcoming.

Kvonnie was friendly, professional, and genuinely engaging throughout my visit. She took the time to explain the different drink options, including the coffees, refreshers, and other beverages, which was extremely helpful. She made sure I understood the differences between the drinks and even shared her personal favorite drink, which made the conversation feel warm and personable.

What stood out the most was how knowledgeable and patient she was. She didn’t make me feel rushed while I was deciding what to order, and she was happy to answer my questions and make recommendations based on what I liked.

Overall, Kvonnie made my Starbucks visit enjoyable and memorable. Her positive attitude, excellent communication, product knowledge, and attention to cleanliness really stood out. She is a great representation of Starbucks and deserves recognition for the excellent service she provides!“

“I’ve been coming to the Starbucks for about two years now. The employees are always very friendly and I’m never waiting too long. My only complaint is I think there should be a course on how to make a cappuccino. I’ve never been to a Starbucks where someone’s made a cappuccino correctly. I used to work at Starbucks myself and even the managers didn’t know how to properly make one.“

“The best Starbucks around the area. As a teacher I have been to every Starbucks around my home and work place and this is hands down the one to go to. If you need not only a coffee pick me up but to be greeted with kindness and a smile, go here. You won’t regret it. They pride themselves on bringing smile to customers faces by making the best food and having a top tier of service. They have never openly told me that, it speaks through their actions. My favorite Starbucks in the area and for good reason.“
