Definitely the best Starbucks in town!! They without fail make the drinks particularly well compared to other locations and are ALWAYS nice. No matter who is working, they always have a great demeanor. I appreciate the fact that they’re always so friendly and kind even with my over the top, complicated orders. Such great vibes here!

The place is well maintained and clean, everything looks neat and tidy. There is lot of room to chat and work, I can bring my laptop and enjoy the free wifi. It's a great spot to hang out with friends or get some work done.

Coffee shop employees are a lot of people's first contact in the morning.... The way the manager at the shop handled my call the other day was incredible. Their team seems to have amazing communication and they care about their customers. I really like having one shop to go to to build up a rapport there's a sense of community that seems to have been lost in a lot of other areas of life. Thank you guys for helping me start my Friday morning right and leave into an amazing weekend!

Luis and all the employees here are absolutely great! They aim to take great care of their customers! I'm a regular and they help make it possible for me to go forward each day with a positive attitude! There is a genuine charm here created by Luis and his workers that is not so easily found anywhere else!

Only 4* for the staff! Order the Pike place and they have some new coffee maker that made me a very weak cup of coffee. I take it back and they are gracious to remake it but the second cup tasted crappy as well and I didn't bother going back again. The staff are very cheerful and pleasant and polite. Unfortunately the new machines they have for making coffee on the spot are inconsistent and consistency is why I used to like Starbucks.
