Starbucks in Seattle

“Yes, this is the number one Starbucks you want to visit. We waited for about 15 minutes before getting in. They have a system that works well, and the baristas do an amazing job being friendly and kind in the midst of it all. One of them told me they sometimes felt like a bouncer, which was quite funny. They have their unique merch, and you can use your Starbucks app and the stars to buy them! I got their signature "bearista" using 400 stars. The place feels very touristy, obviously, but it was a fun experience. One of the baristas kindly offered to take photos of us, and I'm very thankful for their kind gesture.“

“Pretty cool. We had to wait about 45 min in line to order at the main coffee bar as there was only one register open. Eventually they opened up a second register & the line flowed better. They were also out of a bunch of food items listed & what we were served would’ve been much better had it been heated. Drinks were super good & watching the actual roastery part was awesome.“

“This is a must stop if you’re a coffee lover. The selection was outstanding. In our group we got the coffee flight, cold brew flight, and individual drinks. The coffee flight was great! Not a single one did we dislike. The cold brew flight was amazing. The whiskey barrel cold brew is easily one of the favorite cold brews I’ve ever had. I also had a single origin Honduras coffee on pour over and it was so smooth and balanced. The food was also really good! I had the salmon and cream cheese brioche and I very much enjoyed it.“

“Honest review I don't do reviews much but they deserve a great one! I've came here like 3 months like 4 to 5 times a week and the workers are really nice and it's always good service all or them, thank you very much, I mean there's many Starbucks but this one great“

“I wish I got her name but the young Asian gal helped me out today. I didn’t get my drink and once I told her she made it quickly and also gave me a gift card for the misunderstanding. She didn’t have to but having a rough morning, her generousity made my day better. Thank you to that person!“

“I am a regular customer. Not a bad experience. once it was unpleasant that there was still an hour left before the closure, but the workers had already cleaned the toilets, so they refused to let me in. But the good thing is that I always order decaf, and the staff have never made a mistake in this. For me this is important because of my intolerance to caffeine.“

“This is my favorite Starbucks 2nd only to the roastery but that's a whole different business! This spot is ALWAYS fast and makes my drink perfectly! I order in the app on my way in from King Street Station and my drink is always waiting for me! This Pineapple Cloud Cake has me on cloud 9! ?“

“Been a starbucks going all my life. Love how strong the coffee is and how consistent my coffee tastes. Breakfast sandwhichs are good if you are on the go and don't have time to bake. Barisitas and managers are typically very well trained and welcome you to the store very enthusiastic.“

“I live nearby & for the past few weeks I've only been getting coffee that tastes burnt.

I figured it was maybe just a temporary thing or something but it has just become consistently burnt. I'll visit again once more soon, but if it is burnt again I'll simply find coffee elsewhere & update this review.

P.s. The employees are FANTASTIC & so is the atmosphere, thank you for that. ✊?“

“I absolutely love this location. It's always very clean and organized in the interior, and the drinks are always perfect. I typically order online, but have started ordering in person because of how fast and genuine the staff is here. Easily the best Starbucks in Seattle in my opinion.“

“They are really nice in this Starbucks! They really know their drinks and are very willing to make any changes for gluten and dairy. They help in a very kind way, and it is very much appreciated.

Dietary restrictions: They help accommodate for dairy free beverages and are very kind about it, and patient!“

“A local neighborhood Starbucks, near my residence with friendly service and reliable hours. Its nice to see the same baristas each morning, and the service is always fast and friendly.

Parking: If you cant park in the lot, street parking is usually available in the AM“

“The staff were very friendly and smiley. The products were delivered smoothly. The reason for giving it 4stars is that there were several flies on the products in the food case.
The atmosphere inside the store was nice and the staff was very friendly, but there were flies flying in the food case, so I decided not to buy food here. I would like you to make sure that no flies get in or check for flies.“

“A wonderful full service Starbucks! Excellent staff. Nice seating and washrooms! 5 Stars for Starbucks! Bring back your old business model please.
Btw, I fully agree with the previous reviewer.. Starbucks, your baristas are excellent… why can you not support their union efforts and treat your staffers with the respect they deserve?“

“Kloie was sweet, it was early morning and made a foolish mistake of pushing my laptop that made my passion tea fell off. I felt bad but they were nice about it, told me to not worry about cleaning it up and even gave me a replacement without me asking. They were a tight crew like a machine, and if you cant find the outlets, its under the sofa <3“

“The staff here has a prodigious memory. I came in frequently for a few weeks last summer, ordering the same thing each time. I actually changed my name in the Starbucks app to Eeeeee to make it easier to hear, and they still knew it was me and used my actual name. Fast-forward a year, and I only come in occasionally, but they still know my name and will hand my drink directly to me when they see me. Starbucks sells a feeling of comfort & belonging, and this location excels at it.“

“I stopped by after walking around Madison Park Beach ?There were plenty of seats inside the store, and the atmosphere was relaxing.There are various types of seats, so I thought it would be easy to spend time with multiple people or alone!The drinks were delicious too☕Thank you for the meal?“

“One of the favorite Starbucks~
The location is so relaxing, the vibe is like a small beach town. The staffs are always so nice, quite a busy store but they tried their best to keep the store clean. I come here grab a cup of coffee before the walk around the lake, sometimes just watching people ?. Love the store“

“(All of my stars are based on the morning shift, accept the service)

I had a very strange interaction. I walked into a Starbucks to take advantage of a three dollar coupon. I could not find the information I was looking for, and so when I asked the barista if my drink qualified, she said yes. That turned out to be false, and ended up being charged a little bit more than I was prepared for. (Mind you there was a very specific reason why I was asking, and the proper information could have impacted my ability to pay.) This wasn’t an issue until the customer behind me said something to me in a rude way that triggered me, thus creating a spiral. The manager got so defensive that he couldn’t calm himself down enough to listen to me, even though I repeatedly tried to say I wanted to apologize. He basically told me, doesn’t care what I have to say, he’s trying to protect his employees, it is a business, and he doesn’t have to put up with it. The only helpful information he gave me was that it was the cashiers second day, which was all the more reason to communicate what happened. But I never got the chance to…moral of the story…go in the morning, WAY better service!“

“This place is amazing. Let’s start with the beautiful leather real artistic wood furniture. Then the place is super clean. They are friendly and greet you when you walk in. I’ve never been served a breakfast wrap on a cute little recyclable platter with plastic cullery. The standard in every Starbucks I’ve even been to is just in a bag (even if you’re dining in). And the Queen Anne neighborhood is quite charming. I found a gem.“

“Everyone working there is super nice! It's not that long of a wait. Great food and drinks, of course. The store itself doesn't have seating, but the seats nearby have great views of the rink. It is one of my favorite Starbucks to order at.“

“It's not too bad, maybe add more seats for more people.

“Shout out to manager Crystal for handling a very rude, very misogynistic customer. The customer was furious that cream is an additional $4.50, for two coffees it would total to $9. His tensions raised and when the woman cashier kept telling him that's the price, he insisted on talking to the male barista behind her, who had nothing to do with the order. Manager Crystal came to the window, told him the price, and requested that after this transaction to no longer come back because he has been harassing the employees, all the while the customer was talking to me trying to get me to agree with him (I didn't, the employees have to follow prices set by corporate). Tensions raised, his wife comes over and insists she's part of corporate, and assuming I was still involved in this conversation (since he was talking to me about 15 seconds ago, I assumed I was still part of this discussion) I told hee to contact corporate then and not harass employees. More words were exchanged, the rude customers called me and my partner a slur and the employees were again left shaken by this interaction with this man, who was mad over... Cream. That he can get at Safeway for $2.
Shout out to this team, this location has kept me caffeinated for 2 years while I have lived and worked in the Ballard neighborhood, and I have never had a negative experience. Food service employees work very hard and take a lot of guff. Be nice, tip them well, and thank them for their hard work. Thank you Crystal and the rest of your team.“

“This is a wonderful Starbucks! We moved into a nearby office space, and this is the closest store to us, so I come here a few times a week. The entire team is really nice, friendly, competent, and helpful. James, the manger is also really nice.“

“I frequent this starbucks for getting through school work. Every time I come in, no matter who I interact with, I feel welcomed and appreciated. Thank you to this location’s amazing staff for being consistent rays of sunshine. You guys are the best. A recent interaction I had, I ordered choco cream in my coffee and it didn’t come with it, girlie fixed me up right away with a brand new made drink and was so nice. Thank you ❤️“

“Great location in the heart of the Junction. Good for a rest and people watching, but smallish store with few seats. I think price of coffee has reached a certain breaking point now, noticing fewer customers.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible with two special needs table.“

“Delivery person here. A $30 single cold coffee just fell over. Inside the bag. It was on a flat surface. There was no way I could’ve prevented it. Please pack better. I don’t know if it wasn’t pushed inside the tray properly? Or if it was just too heavy to be in a double tray inside a bag Alone without more support. Thank you.“

“Friendly and helpful barista ?Had problem with my Starbucks apps the whole day to claim my bday reward.After checking internally, they advised me to contact the customer service hotline in the future. In addition, they nicely offered me my complimentary bday drink.Love the festive xmas-y Peppermint Mocha, loaded with lotsa whipped cream & sprinkles ~ ??Thank u~! ?“

“The only raisin I give it a 4 star when I went yesterday to have a coffee they told us they start closing at 5:00PM how come you sell alcohol and close at 5:00 p.m. it doesn't make sense I hope this is temporary. They usually close at 7:00 p.m.“

“Wonderful baristas and great location. This is our local Starbucks and we visit very frequently and rarely have an issue. It is often very busy with Greenlake goers so I suggest using their mobile order system. Upstairs patio is a nice place to relax on a sunny day.“

“MARIA, she is very skilled and customer-friendly! She alone was working when I got there for my drinks and there were a few of us in the line. She was very interactive, making suggestions from the menu. When my order was made, she ensured I was pleased! Thank you…..it was probably the best I’ve ever had from a Starbucks!PS: I really don’t remember if Maria was her name but she has black hair, and about 5’5”. Very beautiful. Anyway thank you for amazing service ?“

“The first Starbucks - where the phenomenon began - is well worth a visit if only for the history. Mandatory photo outside and at the plaque inside. They serve the same full range of drinks as any other Starbucks but there is none of the usual cakes etc. It’s also fully take away. But because of what it is, there are regularly long queues so get there early if you can.“

“Heather was incredibly kind and helpful each of the 3 days I came in during a work trip! Andon (I hope I've spent that correctly!) was also so nice and made me feel welcomed! Wonderful staff, drinks were consistently good, and great atmosphere in the morning time.“

“Yesterday i finally got to make my own drink@starbuks . caramel whip crunch with single shot with chocolate java chips and exrta chocolate drizzle. Very sweet of a drink but not to sweet with the whole milk and crunched ice .I gotta say venti is alwayd my way of being extra .but thats just me ? lol.“

“Great coffee! It was interesting to see an armed guard at the front door. I guess they are just super cautious. Nothing wrong with that! But it's not something you see in Everett.
I'm guessing it's related to the business in the rest of the building.“

“This is hands down the very best Starbucks I've ever been to!I've been here every day for over two weeks with my wife admitted to this hospital!They have the very best service! Both shifts! They have called me by name since day two , and always ask about my wife!This should be a training place for all other Starbucks, and coffee shops!Angela Glenda Wendy C Lvend RAll top Barista'sAll Barista's are #1“

“Stance & Blair & Nikki Are Amazing Starbuck Stars at work , knowing & seeing they are creative master intelligent souls! Starbucks Ballard So Lucky to have them. And it was a great time for me to go to receive such amazing advice while it seemed many guests had their doggies with them & I was lovin the doggy eye candy , sweet moments Starbucks Ballard , glad y'all back, still missing the ghost of Lombardi's that once stood their. Thank You Stance Blair & Nikki for your sweetness! My Matcha Green rocked!“

“As always, I appreciate a Starbucks locations whose workers read the instructions. I can judge as soon as I see my drink if it was well prepared. In this case, I saw it and I knew it was top-notched. Just as instructed and the flavor was as good as it should be. I had a quick talk with Anthony! Very nice and friendly and asked me to try the new drink. I posted some pics of it. I liked the drink sample but sad that it was not warm anymore but hey it was just bad timing. The location has a nice view of the waterfront and in front of the art museum. Cheers to the crew.

Parking: You have to be lucky enough to find a quick place to park or the 3-5mins spots but mainly will be taken too.“

“This Starbucks team is exceptional—truly a cut above other branches. Their customer service is outstanding, and they consistently craft my drinks with care and precision. Every other Sunday after church, I make it a point to visit, and I’m always greeted with warmth and cheerfulness. I truly appreciate this amazing crew—keep up the fantastic work!“

“I think Starbucks is a very good coffee shop for me to go into especially now that I can go get my single Americano in either call or grande style I think that works pretty good and I sure like their point system it works very well for me besides that if I start earning points then I can actually get a reward for it because other coffee companies or coffee shop do I go to sometimes they have a point system where you earn up to 10 free points or whatever it is and you get a free cup of coffee or whatever and that's what I like about this because it saves a lot of people time and effort to go into a coffee shop like this to get their coffee and whatever else they need but I think what's really nice about is that I think one of their promotions would be later on is if you go out and get a cup of coffee from them they might offer you an idea to get one of those some Starbucks cards which are preloaded and basically what it is if you get one of those that's great and that's why the reason why I have one of those Starbucks cards to wear it basically I can get into a gold system or something like that that's what I have although I haven't used it lately but I'm going to think about starting to use it anyway when it's all said and done since I've only had that particular card for about 9 years it's very useful now if we got other people to start getting a hold of a Starbucks card which would basically mean if you gradually move into the point system or going to a tear like a gold card like what I've got basically it means you can put money on the card and that's it now if they do have you know preloaded Starbucks cards or if you can actually purchase a card all you have to do is just loaded and forget it and then when you come in to go get your coffee you have the card right there because basically they just act like a credit card and you won't have to worry about a single thing“

“I went in at 6:45 to get my daily drink and the lady at the cash register who is always really nice, said we are closed.. same thing happened yesterday. I don’t understand? It says it’s open till 7. If not, change your hours. It’s a waste of time driving to your location to be turned away 15min prior to closing.“

“I don’t post often Starbucks reviews, but this one well deserves this mention. Coffee is well you know exactly what you are getting, plus usual snack selection, but the main reason to visit this shop is the staff ! Very friendly , always with a smile and make your day merry despite what mood you walked in. Thank you for this experience, as it makes such a difference! Keep doing great work !

“Decent Starbucks inside the Safeway. There are days were this location is a bit understaffed which can cause there to be a bit of a wait but nothing exceeding 10 min. If you're looking to grab some groceries and maybe indulge in an impulse for coffee I would recommend“

“Beautiful, comfortable space. Widely. But the bartenders are fun and welcoming to customers and will definitely come back. This place is also suitable for many busy dining areas. In particular, there is an employee named Tony who is very cute and enthusiastic“

“I went to this Starbucks every morning that I was in Seattle. I was visiting a relative that doesn't drink coffee. I had never been in a Starbucks before. I used the time to catch up on my email, texts and phone messages. I will be visiting again this Summer and will frequent this establishment again.“

“Best Starbucks drive thru I have been to. We arrived back late from Puerto Vallarta. Got a coffee so I could safely make the drive back. Not only grateful for the 24 hour service but they were extremely fast and had amazing customer service for it being so late. Always nice to go to an establishment where you feel appreciated as a customer. They made the coffee exceptionally as well as the treats. Highly recommend this location.“

“Was very nive the app wasnt working when i placed a mobile.order. it was paid for but would t show up on their computer screen. They made the order for me.no problem abd it was mafe very well. Apreciated that. I have had other places not care to help in simulare situations so tge staff tgere is awsome!“

“Staff worked up a storm on New Year's Eve. They were the only store open late at night, and the line went on forever. Still, they made sure EVERYONE got their order (including mine ?)Have always been friendly whenever I stop by, even though they have to deal with tourists“
