Tried to get to this Starbucks today: Reston Metro Plaza. Followed Google Maps after looking at pix online. Seemed easy to find, along road, with parking lot alongside, per the photo. But I could never find it. Once Google said 'you've arrived' there were no Starbucks signs at all and no parking at all except a very complex looking deck. I tried going 'around the block' to look again and ended up on the Dulles Toll Road. After I paid my ransom to escape from the Toll Road, I crossed this location off the list. Later, I checked Google Street view and the photo currently linked with this location is NOT of this location. This location is *not* designed for easy car access; this location is for pedestrians, bikers, etc. Posting this review to warn others away from this site who are looking for a fast in/out via car as this location is not it!

This stand-alone location does not accept the Starbucks app or Starbucks cards for payment. Told today that it's store policy! Took my business elsewhere.

Ok today I was using the Tesla station which is located in the garage. I need to use the bathroom. I ask the worker there if I can have the code to use the bathroom .He ask if I was going to purchase something I told him yes. After he proceeds to explain to me the so called policy I changed my mind and walk out. So my question because this was the first time this has happen to me. Are you requires to purchase something at Starbucks just to use the bathroom?

Very loudly complain, so my girlfriend can hear it, about me wanting to use a restroom to which they didn't even give me full code. So in the end no ability to use it, but lot of complaints from the employees.

Worst Starbucks Service Ever! 100% focused on the lady in this photo. While I have never been this negative, I decided to read the other reviews for this site in case I was "just having a bad day." Unfortunately for Starbucks Whiele Metro, there are many, many other negative reviews. Summary: 1) I'm a Starbucks regular with the Starbucks App and over $100 to buy lattes for me and friends. 2) I was late for Metro and needed to pee before getting my latte (us 67 year old men), 3) the lady in the picture refused to give me the bathroom code. I showed her my app and handed her $5.00. I'm about to pee in my pants and not interested in peeing on your floor. 4) She refused service and showered me with disrespect. Then the Asian lady looking away in the picture gave me the code. 5) I suggest you review and train your people. DISAPPOINTED.

I’ve been coming to this location frequently as I use the metro to go to work. Yesterday the male barista tried to be slick and add a 15% tip while I looked away during an Apple Pay transaction. In the grand scheme of things is $1 that big of a deal? No. Is what he did disrespectful? Absolutely. You need to do better.
After 2 hours in my car I chose this Starbucks to plug in my Tesla & was excited to get an espresso & relax. I was limping & dying to use the bathroom but was refused even after confirming I would buy something & basically begged. I was clearly not a bum & found this extremely rude. This has never happened to me anywhere in NY or NJ. Manager should allow employees to use discretion. Ended up sitting in my car while charging. Super disappointing.

Ever since they changed staff the service has been poor. Drinks are not as good and they are very slow. Expect to wait a long time for your
This Starbucks recently went through a “remodeling” where the store was supposedly going to be updated. The day they were supposed to reopen kept on being pushed back. When they finally did reopen instead of the store being updated like advertised it was instead reopened as a licensed store. This means it is no longer a corporate affiliated Starbucks and as such no longer accept payment through the app, mobile orders, Starbucks promotions or stars etc. The quality of the coffee has also gone downhill with the drinks tasting nothing like they are supposed too.

December 12,2023 —- they don’t take Starbucks App payments, so no stars….The most ridiculous way to treat customers. Have been “remodeling” and changing the reopening date on a daily basis. Clearly they are very inefficient and clueless at customer service at this location. How can you advertise for weeks reopening December 2 and then change it to December 7th the day before? How can you be so off?!! It gets better, you plan ahead of your commute only to find out that now they decided to reopen on December 8th!!! They are treating this store as a joke! So not the way Starbucks corporate models their business. I along with two other people yelled a big “F..k”! when we showed up to get our coffee and pastries this morning. Unfortunately, no other options in the area at 07:00 am. Ridiculous!!!

I've gotten coffee here literally hundreds of times since I pass it on my way to work. The baristas are nice BUT they are extremely inconsistent at this location in terms of making drinks correctly. If you order the same exact drink three days in a row, it will taste different each time. Insanely sweet one day, the next day it'll taste like plain coffee. They so rarely get it right. On top of this, this location is randomly closed sometimes so then you just can't get coffee at all. Very frustrating.
