Starbucks in Tacoma

“Very nice staff, coffee is always good and service is very quick no matter how long the line. Unfortunately, they are placed in a mostly abandoned lot that isn't very safe, not a place I would feel comfortable walking to or hanging out. But great for drive through!“

“I love this Starbucks location because the service is fantastic. The baristas always know my doppio order and I never have to wait long. It's one of my favorite places to lounge in the morning because it's clean and not too packed.“

“Have to give a shout out to Eric, who works in the A.M. I am always pleasantly surprised to hear his voice on the speaker box. Eric is Always genuinely thoughtful, polite, and extremely upbeat. I drive away, drink in hand, smile on my face, and think, Wow! He's awesome! Every. Single. Time.“

“I do not remember if this was the location but when I was on an undercover investigation/intelligence operation in Tacoma I ordered many life saving highly caffeinated iced chai lattes with shots of espresso and experimentation with flavors.

I ordered a venti with like 5 shots of espresso and drank it throughout the day (microdosing the liquid since so highly concentrated) to properly use my energy supply resource of beverage since I couldn’t have my narcolepsy meds while undercover in a investigation of an extremely anti substance use cult. Thank you Starbucks Tacoma!!“

“hip hip hooray! we finally did it! we found the BIGGEST and HUGEST starbucks of all time! i could've sworn i found the most monolithic starbucks ever about 4.7 billion years ago (big amount of time), but this one is absolutely MASSIVE. HUGE DRINKS. HUGE EGG BITES. MASSIVE ICE CUBES IN DRINK. GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY! what a massive experience this was! will definitely be returning to order the bubblydungus flapuccino“

“I usually don't like Starbucks so I don't know the menu. Kayla was very patient and helped me with my order. After asking me a few questions about what I like, I let her make me whatever. I don't know what it was but it was delicious!“

“this is my favorite starbucks in tacoma, the staff are so friendly and the atmosphere is very cozy. they keep it very clean and are super quick even when it gets busy! I always have such a great experience here- thank you guys for being so amazing!!“

“We love visiting this kiosk during our grocery trip! They're always so kind and they're efficient! As a former partner I love the quality of drinks and service we receive everytime! They always make the tiny human feel special and give her a cup of whip too “

“As always Starbucks coffee is great here, prepared well, and quickly. It's two restrooms were very clean. I didn't test it's wifi today, but am fairly sure it's at least ok.I especially like it's out door seating. I very much enjoy sitting outside with a coffee in my right hand, and a kindle in my left.“

“The coffee at this place is really good, which is a big plus. However, it is a bit on the pricier side, which might be a consideration for some visitors. Despite the higher cost, the overall experience was satisfactory. The staff was friendly and welcoming, adding a pleasant touch to the visit. They were attentive and made sure that customers were comfortable and had everything they needed.

On the downside, the area around the building appears somewhat sketchy, which might deter some people from visiting. It’s worth noting that this impression is based solely on the exterior surroundings. Once inside, the atmosphere is quite nice and inviting. The interior is well-designed, providing a cozy and comfortable environment for enjoying a cup of coffee.

In summary, while the coffee is excellent and the staff is nice, the higher price and the sketchy exterior might be factors to consider. However, the pleasant interior and friendly service make it a worthwhile visit for those who prioritize good coffee and a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, it’s a decent spot to enjoy a coffee, especially if you can overlook the initial impression of the neighborhood.“

“Every time I go shopping, I treat myself to a delicious dragon fruit lemonade, and I even ask them to add peach juice. Of course, I can't forget my hot cheese Danish. The girls who work here are so friendly, and what I love most is that they take the time to make your drink super tasty. They also take your order carefully. I love buying my drinks here.“

“I don't usually go to Starbucks about when I do I'm usually in a hurry and I just want to get in and get out... and it is reasonably fast and I do like their white chocolate mocha... but honestly I only go here maybe three times a year if that.. But over all, it's okay.“

“Employees are always so helpful first things in the morning i ordered an iced lodon fog and it was like they got the fog straight from London it was amazing. Best London fogs in town

Parking: Handicap spots right by door and plenty of parking spots“

“Ms Sheri in the mornings is the nicest person ever omg. Her kindness always brightens my day!
Sade in the afternoons is the most personable person I have met there. My last visit in the afternoon made my whole day enough that I went home telling everyone (Stays forever!!❤).
Thank you!!“

“Josiah I don’t know if he is a manager or a lead, he is the MAN.
I haven’t had the luxury to be received by a guy like him in a long time, even though he just hands you Cofee or your order, somehow finds a way to surprise in a way you would never experience anywhere wether showing his professionalism, humility or sheer humanity.
Speechless I really appreciate him.“

“To the ladies working this morning (particularly the woman working on register 3 on 11/6 at 10:20am) you are the absolute best. There's no way for you to know this but I have just been diagnosed with cancer and your act of kindness this morning brought me to tears. Someone give this woman the appreciation and the raise that she deserves 👏👏👏“

“The barista was super nice and just a joy to chat to. Wish I got her name but she has red hair and made a delicious coffee for myself and my family.Super bummed there is a no tipping policy because we would have LOVED to tip her - she clearly goes above and beyond.“

“More than a Starbucks, this is MY coffee shop. This is a place where I can go be comfy with my drink n snack, chat with the AMAZING and personalble baristas, receive a kind word from the manager Gretchen, and pop open my laptop. I pass another Starbucks to chill here 🥰“

“I was pleasantly surprised at how much of a lovely location this was. I came in to have a cup of coffee with my friend. Good central location to meet. I was pleasantly surprised by how easily it was to find parking. Typically in this area of Tacoma there's nowhere to park. I don't know if it was the time of day that I went, which was around 10:00 a.m. But there were lots of parking spots. I was also very pleased by the atmosphere in there. It was very upbeat and happy. It's a great place to meet somebody to to have a casual conversation. Not so much private conversations but I don't believe that's why we go to coffee shops. Am I right? Flat surfaces so it's very easy to come in and out. If you were on crutches or in a wheelchair. You don't realize how important those things are until you need them. The people who work there were super friendly. They got the coffee done quickly. It wasn't overcrowded or anything. It was such a wonderful experience all around. I will definitely come back again.“
