This Starbucks is open at 5am. Yes 5 am! The location is very central. Its right outside of the metro station and also right in front are the bus station. As well as Bolt bus stops in front of it too. As a note their restaurant is for customers only and you do need to grab the key from the front(which is a board). Again this Starbucks is pretty small.

They’re super nice at this Starbucks, but their process is broken. I normally order via the mobile app while still on the train, but today I wanted to use my free one. So I had to come in, order, and wait. They had multiple people taking orders and ringing people up, but only one guy actually making coffee. Let me repeat that — 6 people behind the counter, more than a dozen people waiting, and only ONE guy actually making coffee. At some point they seemed to wake up and start running an actual line, but by then I’d missed my bus. In short, nice people, average coffee, but the wait is unreasonable.

After remodeling, the new food case has bugs flying around in it. I asked one of the disinterested employees and she just said yeah, it’s been like that. These are bugs landing on cookies and bagels and that marbled coffee cake you like so much. Bugs with wings, hovering over the food with absolutely no potty training. Yes ladies and gentlemen you are eatting bug sh*t and the employees just dont care. I have been there 3 times since remodeling and they still have bugs. After last night I cant even think about going there even though I am not ordering from the case.

What can I say, service was great! Great Starbucks location in the International District /Chinatown. Make sure to try the Beastmode. Super refreshing. Beast Mode is Marshawn Lynch’s trademark nickname given due to his aggressive running style. You can log on to AT&T Wi-Fi at this Starbucks. It’s free, and they also offer great local content on their Starbucks Digital Network. Pros: –Tastes good(not gonna lie) –Appeals to business people who like a good cup of coffee. –It is well known –A good place to go for a drink when you are out shopping. Cons: –Quite expensive, some people can’t afford to buy an overpriced coffee every day –Often very busy There you have it. I guess its all a matter of opinion. Hope that helps.

I went to this locAtion and asked for an ice tea. I got a tea with melted ice. I asked for ice and was told you cant get additional ice. I gave back my melted tea and got my money back. You don’t sell tea without ice when it is iced tea.

Worst experience I’ve ever had at a Starbucks store. I ordered my usual tall iced americano. What I got was a drink with less than half iced in the tall cup. I then asked for more ice. I got an answer of «NO». Said that’s what I ordered and said they are low on ice, as one of the worker was filling up the ice bin. I offered to pay for the ice and again got«NO». I ended up replacing it with a hot short americano. I’m a regular customer of Starbucks and I’ve never seen such terrible service. I asked for a manager and I was told there are two managers on shift and was given one of the manager’s business card(but won’t mention name). Two managers and they can’t figure out how to supply the store with ice? Come on!

Come here if you want attitude. ordered a cold brew but was not asked if I wanted their sweetener in it or not. As I saw the barista making my drink saw her put their syrup in there and I told her I did not want it. Told her I was not asked if I wanted sweetener or not. She just rolled her eyes at me and made another one. Wish I could have taken my tip back.

This Starbucks isn’t too bad. The baristas aren’t overly nice(in fact, they have a few that can get some attitude), but for the most part, they’re all pretty cordial. I went in here to try the new mango black iced tea(which I’m not sure about, by the way) and the line of three ahead of me went pretty quick. I probably waited like 5 – 10 minutes to actually get my drink, which I think is a bit long for a tall iced tea. But… Who knows. All in all, I left pretty satisfied but there’s nothing too spectacular about this location.

Avoid this place from 7AM-10AM… So busy! Lines are super long and your drink/food will take 10+ mins. But I could tell the staff is working really hard to get all the drinks out as fast as possible. I suggest going to Specialty’s Café next door if this Starbucks is super busy. Like all starbucks, the drinks come out tasting the same.

Long over due review. This review is more one the service its self then the drinks. Drinks: It’s Starbucks, it never really different or special between location. Staff: Amazing! Amazing, amazing, amazing. Love them here. I’ve only ever had one bad experience with one who screwed up my order and everyone else. To the point someone was given something they were allergic to, but I’ve never seen him again since that day. I’ve gotten to somewhat know some of the staff there due to my regular habit of coming here and they are all nice(im not saying bestie status, but more then others). Aaron and Michael,(one other who I’m drawing a blank on name.) and almost all the staff, but they are all great, and seem to have some cheer or positiveness even if don’t feel like that. Location: It can be quite crazy there for many reasons. There are many offices nearby, the buses and light rail and then the really crazy days are when there are sounders or seahawks games, but even then the only crazy part just seems the be the people inside. The speed of the baristas are fast considering the crowds. Overall this has been a great location from the first time to now.

The staff at this location is by far the nicest of any Starbucks. They are always smiling and friendly. Felisa always has the biggest smile on her face, she makes an effort to remember people’s names and she can truly brighten anyone’s day. I come here more regularly than the neighboring Tully’s and Specialty’s because of Felisa and the other wonderful staff members(special shout out to Dayton!) and I will continue coming here. :)

I like this Starbucks and go there a few times a week. Staff is nice and friendly. Line always seems long but it moves really fast. There is a gross guy who has a bandaid always on his gross snout who seems to basically live there. My whole office of 200 people know him as «Nip-nose». Other than that it’s good. Got a treat receipt

Nice place to grab a coffee before hopping on the bus or train. The line can get long, but the baristas work quickly. There’s plenty of seating inside, but it’s nice to sit outside on a nice day by the fountain too.

Went here with a friend of mine and I ordered a Roma tomato, mozzarella, spinach, and basil pesto, on a piccolo bread it was so delish. I had it before. The employees are really nice and the seats were comfy. I can’t wait to have it again.

I’m not a huge coffee drinker, but I will occasionally go to Starbucks for a fancy smancy drink. I really like the holiday drinks, especially the pumpkin latte! They also have some pretty good food at Starbucks. Even though I don’t go there a lot, I signed up with my Starbucks giftcard online and now get discounts on drinks and food. They also give you a free item on your birthday. So that’s a pretty good perk! The service has always been pretty on point when I go. Quick, fast, friendly.

The first rule of Starbucks is: it’s a Starbucks. I can’t exactly say I have high hopes when I walk into one of the franchises, especially one in the 505 where it’s nearly always packed and with a line«out the door»(usually it’s not out the door, but wrapped around within the shop so there’s hardly room to move). But, there’s nothing particularly annoying about this Starbucks, so I can’t knock them. I think they work at Starbucks speed, which is just slow enough to create lines, but if you’re lucky to walk right in, seems awesomely fast. Lots of points for convenience too, because it’s in my work building and super close to lots of things I do with my life in the ID.

Sasha is amazing! She is full of energy and practically runs the whole show. Unfortunately her teammates are keeping the whole store down and move as slow as snails.

To every Starbucks in Seattle, thank you for letting me leech your wifi! I sat in this particular Starbucks for quite awhile whilst waiting for my bus. Chill atmosphere with nobody pressuring me to leave. Managed to use the wifi to call home, check emails and write some reviews. Very productive evening. Ordered a pumpkin spice latte. Way too sweet for my liking and I don’t think there is anyway to reduce the sugar in it. Didn’t end of finishing it. Sugar overload!
