Starbucks

The baristas here are amazing!!!

This Starbucks has great service and plenty of tables/​chairs. I love to bring my laptop here to write, or sit in the more comfortable chairs to chat with a friend. Service has always been very friendly and quick.

One of my go-​to Starbucks! I live across the street so if I have time on weekday mornings I’ll grab a drink before work. The staff I’ve encountered at this time of day have been nice. If it’s not too busy they’re friendly and ask about your day. Charlotte makes the drinks and she usually drizzles a nice thick layer of caramel on my macchiatos. But yesterday must have been busier because she didn’t put as much as usual. ;_​; Maybe later this week?

There were 2 baristas at one register this morning. They threw a bunch of questions at me which resulted in me accidentally my leaving my sandwich there.
(The overly-​perky one asked if I wanted my mozzarella sandwich heated while I was coming up with the rest of my order. I had never said yes, but she went ahead and heated it anyway. I wasn’t planning on eating it until 5 hours later. Well, I won’t be eating it at all now.)
I need to take a break from this place for a while.

This review is not based upon the starbucks itself, but the cashier I have encountered 3 times now, and each and every time she is completely rude to me. The first time it happened, I shrugged it off as maybe she was having a bad day. But then after the second time it happened, I watched her interact with customers after me, and she wasn’t rude to them the way she had been to me. So today, I came here and had her as my cashier. I watched the way she acted with the customers before me (very friendly, with pleases and thank you’s). and when I got up there, she was very rude, didnt even acknowledge me, or say thank you or you’re welcome to me. People after me? They got the pleases and thank you’s just the same as the people before me.
I dont know if it s because I am a larger person (like she is as well) or what. I really dont know. And I don’t normally do these kinds of negative reviews either. But if she does read this, she needs to know that she needs to give EVERYONE the same amount of courtesy and respect when working in her job, or she may need to rethink her career.
She always has pretty hair pieces though.

I’ve given this store 3 stars based on my collective experience going there. I tend to go to this location when shopping at QFC, mailing a parcel at the post office, or buying some food at Panda Express.
In general, I find the staff friendly and the store equipped with most of the amenities of Starbucks stores.
The best part of this store is the space! I love curling up on a comfy chair in front of the fireplace while my little one goes to the kids section to play or read a book.
Unfortunately, you don’t always get what you want at this store. For example, I went in today for a cool lime refresher and was told they couldn’t make it but could make me a berry one instead. The thing about the lime is that they don’t put it in a can and the packets have lots of added sugar, unlike the fresh blended ones. *Sad face* With locations like this, you get convenience but the Starbucks brand is sometimes sacrificed.

I LOVE THE HOLMAN ROAD STARBUCKS!!!
I come here almost every day and have been for as long as it has been there. It is right down the street from where I live. I used to work at this location and it has always had the most amazing staff, I cannot believe how amazing everyone here is. They know most of the names of their clients and remember their drinks! So friendly. They almost never get drinks wrong, they are all super happy and energetic. Totally starts your day off the way you want it to! I have known several of the managers over the years and they handle their store with the best customer service. When there is a line they get through it quickly without you feeling rushed.
I will suggest this Starbucks to anybody! I have been to 100’s of Starbucks all over the world and nobody does it like Holman road! Nobody!
They are the best of the best! :)

Attached to the Holman QFC, but also has its own front entrance from the parking lot. The baristas are always friendly and quick. It’s a very reliable Starbucks to get your drink fixes.
There are some seats, but they’re arranged in a kind of strange way such that it’s a bit of an obstacle course to get through the establishment. They also have the unfortunate consequence of people bringing in food from either QFC or Panda Express to eat here, making for an incompatible aroma at times. They also seem to get more loiters than usual.
It’s a good place to get a Starbucks drink, but not a full «coffee house» experience as other Starbucks.
Around closing time (9pm), SPD always hangs out here.

This is my go to Starbucks for my morning latte. The staff is super friendly and sometimes they remember my name. I love that! I noticed if you get in there before 7:30am there is practically no line but get there anytime after 7:30 then expect a line almost stretching to the door. But no worries because that line moves pretty darn fast. They always have like four or five employees working in the morning all with specific tasks all to get you in & out and on your way to work.

More or less, Starbucks will give you what you expect, but this location is great. There’s a great and comfortable lobby to chill and study or read the paper, and the staff is über friendly. They have a 100% accuracy rate on every drink I’ve ever ordered from them, and they’re always willing to engage in conversation, even if there is a line. They’re well-​managed and run a great ship! Nice work; y’all are a cut above. Plus they took my expired birthday coupon, which was great. :-)
AND they just killed a line of 15 people in less than 3 minutes. Nice!

Well there are your Starbucks fans and then there is me. The only thing I want from Starbucks is their eggnog latte. I want it all year and it is back and as usual it is delicious. The drink I never want is Pike place Roast… anything else PLEASE.
That is just my rant on the Bucks not this location in particular. The staff here was outstanding and provided a friendly atmosphere.

Really, more or less, Starbucks is Starbucks is Starbucks. However, the defining characteristic here is the staff. The two gents at the register were very friendly and had a good sense of humor about them.
The many windows are nice, as it was nice and cozy. Had a nice time reading my book on my lunch break.

This is the Starbuck’s attached to the QFC on Holman. They’re pretty spacious and have nice solarium-​style windows on two sides which let in the light on our gloomy Seattle days. It’s great to pick up a bev to sip while shopping (especially now that some of the QFC carts have drink holders!), and they do a good job.
There are some outlets around the edges, so you can do plugged-​in computer work at some of those wall tables, but most are outlet-​free. Still, a nice place to chat, read or recharge your batteries.
They’re open pretty late, too — until 9PM.
