I ordered the strawberry refresher but asked for light ice and no lemonade. I even had the cashier double check it was put in but when I received my drink, there was full ice and lemonade. I guess the lemonade is fine since there's usually lemonade in it but full ice when I asked for less is crazy. Light ice is even written on the cup and judging from past reviews, this isn't the first time that the workers didn't listen and made an order wrong

Discovered that in Seattle there is the first Starbucks that opened worldwide I thought I would go for breakfast on a Monday morning (after being discouraged from entering on Sunday due to the queue outside). A little look at the souvenirs and then I get ready for my order to find out that they do not do things to eat, only drinks. What a disappointment

The first (technically second) Starbucks is a must do for any coffee drinker visiting Seattle. Be warned, you will queue. Queue to get in (potentially up to an hour), queue to order and queue again to get your beverage (can be a long wait if getting drip coffee). It opens at 6am and worth making an early trip, even then there was still a short queue. Note there is also no seating (there is a small public park across the road with a couple of lumps of concrete they have called Totems) and no food. Lots of merch though if that’s your thing. Had good friendly service and was fun chatting to other guests in the queues,

Painfully slow. 4 people ahead of me on line took 20 minutes to get a cold brew.

It's always perfect here, I like knowing what I'm getting. It's right inside Target so it's convenient to grab a coffee before riding the elevator to the free parking garage.

I am a coffee lover and my kids love Starbucks. So when we were visiting Seattle their top choice on the places to go was the Starbucks cafe in Pikes Place This is a place definitely worth visiting. The decor is done tastefully. The cafe is very spacious and the location is perfect

The first store of Starbucks at Pike Market, the waiting line is not too long on Monday.
We bought mag and metal bottles with Starbucks logo for memory. There is no inside seat so everyone took out the coffee. It’s easy to find a seat out side of the market.

Espresso machine was not working. Attitude of the person working was really rude and arrogant.

If you’re in Seattle you have to walk by the Original Starbucks (because… obviously). But, I’m not sure it’s worth waiting in the EXTREMELY long line to get in. It’s neat to see, but if you want a really “wow-worthy” coffee experience, you’re better off visiting the Starbucks Reserve while you’re in Seattle. It offers a much more impressive atmosphere and a massive menu (including some alcohol options).

The older lady making my coffee today tried to serve 3 customers before me claiming i had gotten there prior. Unfortunately as a homeless person (regardless of the $9 I spent on a cup of coffee) we are unseen, when her co worker corrected her finally she decided to leave my shots sitting after she burnt them and didn't finish making my drink until those women's food and drinks were all out to prove a point. I guess if I were in my golden years working at a starbucks in target I'd be angry too lol

Touring Seattle we went to meet the first Starbucks store, which I am a fan of wallet. Small store, but as we went in the evening, we can go in and appreciate every detail. Simply, small but with countless qualities.

Excellent welcome from Priscilla! On arrival we initially welcomed by a friendly chap on the door followed by Priscilla at the counter taking orders. Their dynamic was fun, friendly and energetic with Zach throwing the take-out cups to his colleague making the drinks. However, the female colleague on the collection counter had a sharpness to her approach to customer service which the bitterness of their sharpest blend would struggle to match. Great experience, sadly let-down by the final stage of the visit.

I am such a Starbucks fanatic that I've had this original (well somewhat original) location on my bucket list. Thankfully the line was not too bad. I went at 7 am. They open at 6. The staff was extremely friendly and took the time to take my picture. I was so happy that my coffee tasted exactly the same as my coffee in Chicago. Soooooo good💕
