If the manager is reading this: pretty please recognize them!🫶 Truth and Evangeline are the reason I’ll keep coming back!!!!! so fire and my drink was 10/10“
“Stopped by the Starbucks at Alderwood and had a really good experience. The store was clean, service was quick, and the staff were friendly even though it was busy.
We ordered iced shaken espresso’s and they were made perfectly and the atmosphere felt nice for a quick break while shopping in the area. Definitely one of the better Starbucks locations in the area.“
“The older blonde woman who works here is referred to as “Karen” in my house. She is rude every time I go. You pull up to the window and are met with only one word, “hi.”, no what would you like today, etc. I politely tell my order - “come to the window.” She always glares at me.
I was not at all surprised to find there are multiple bad reviews about her going back almost a year. I noticed she’s not at the window anymore, but only on speaker now. If she is that hateful, she should not be working there. It’s a complete experience ruiner to have to interact with her.
OTHER THAN THAT, everyone else in the store is kind and chill. It’s the reason I can still go there and give 4 stars comfortably.“
“This is a newly-remodeled Starbucks, serves Nitros, and is a very appealing--and cozy! - -place to relax, study, read, listen to music, etc. This is the busiest drive-thru I've ever seen and runs very efficiently. Lots of families living nearby, so be patient with the occasional huge order. ;) They also have 4 or 5 4-person tables outside, great when the weather's fine. Lots of stores nearby too, incl. a Sprouts, new Trader Joes, Albertons, pizza place, Qdoba, an LA Fitness, and more...great to grab a hot drink--or Frappuccino--while grocery shopping. Lastly, there's plenty of parking and easy access to both Hwy 99 and 196th St.“
“When I went to purchase my usual 18 oz bag of ground Starbucks French coffee at this Safeway at 1:35 pm on Saturday, 11/30, there were only bags of whole bean on the shelf. I paid for the beans and asked the Starbucks kiosk barista if she would kindly grind them for me. She adamantly refused! No matter how much I protested that there had never been a problem in the past at this kiosk, she would not consent. I regret not getting her name but this is the first time at ANY Starbucks that I did not get service with a smile. So I went to the Starbucks store across 196th street where they were more than happy to grind the beans for me.“
“Fast service. Food was hot' a good thing.
Parking: This was at the Fred Meyer in store location on 196th Lynnwood.Just a suggestion! If the pumpkin scone is no longer available PLEASE TAKE IT OFF THE ONLINE MENU!!! It's very depressing to get my taste puds excited seeing it a d then not be able to order it.Margo Vincent“
“This location is awesome, i have been here many times and am always greeted with a smile and never had an issue. This location fixed another locations mistake by remaking a caramel macchiato for me that the other shop could just not get right (no flavor or too much) special thanks to Colin for helping me with that this will be my go to Starbucks from now on“
“The Starbucks inside the Target store is AWESOME. Unfortunately, I didn’t ask employees’ names, but they are very polite and customer service oriented,this was our first time there (7/11, AM shift) and was a very nice experience! It was so nice to get a cup with a personal message from employees! Great job!“
“I'm here almost every morning. The drive through staff is usually great. The inside staff is not usually as great but one time in particular I had to send my drink back twice and even the first time, the barista wasn't pleasant at all, not a "sorry" or a smile, just RBF and made it wrong again. My drinks get made wrong in the drive through a lot as well but I usually just drink it“
“I didn’t visit this store for a while because of inconvenient in and out. Yesterday, I stopped by for a b-day drink. Ellen got my order and she is the best who I have ever seen at Starbucks stores. She is really nice, energetic and made people smile. She draw several flowers with ‘happy birthday’ on the drink cup. I had a lot of bad experiences with unhappy employees but she made me forget the experience.“
“Late night perusing at B&N and wanted a cozy drink and cookie. Our barista, Tori, was the most pleasant human being, so patient while we made up our minds (especially when we decided to add on cookies to our drink orders), and her friendly smile as she spoke could've soothed any mundane mood.We ordered a cappuccino, chai latte, a salted Carmel cookie, and an oatmeal raisin cookie. Both cookies were warmed up and our drinks were perfectly crafted. The cafe area was buzzin with students studying, book lovers reading their new purchases, and families enjoying treats. Even so, there were ample tables available to occupy. Not an intimate cafe space, very bright and almost cafeteria-ish.Despite the Starbucks logo attached to the cafe, they do not accept Starbucks gifts cards or payment via the Starbuck app. Still a great place to complete the bookstore experience with coffee and sweets!“
“I had to take a moment to recognize the team at the Starbucks on 196th in Lynnwood especially Arie, the Shift Manager.
From the moment you walk in, you can feel the difference. The store is clean, organized, and has that perfect balance of energy and calm. Whether it’s early morning rush or mid-afternoon, the team moves with purpose and professionalism.
Arie leads with confidence and positivity. You can tell the culture of the store reflects strong leadership the baristas are friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Orders come out quickly, drinks are crafted perfectly (not rushed or sloppy), and they’re consistent every single time.
What stands out most is the customer service. You’re not just another order number here they acknowledge you, make eye contact, and create an atmosphere that feels personal and inviting. It’s rare to find a team that works this smoothly while still maintaining warmth.
If you’re in Lynnwood and want a Starbucks that actually feels like your neighborhood coffee spot, this is it. Huge credit to Arie and the entire team for setting the bar high. 👏☕“
“Great staff, quick service and perfect location in the mall. Can’t complain.
I have never had an issue with my order getting delayed be it the app order or kiosk order.
The staff has always been very hard working, friendly and quick. Great job managing the rush of incoming orders with efficiency!!“
“It's a clean environment with clean workers who are very kind and nice. They are attentive friendly and greet with a smile. They made me an amazing drink. The place was also very clean and even the bathroom was nice and clean and the bathroom they had a changing table available to change the baby or child which was nice they even had a little table and chair to set your purse and bag on.“
