Such a cool SBUX. While the atmosphere is great, the staff will never acknowledge you, so just be okay with that. I was the only person picking up a mobile order and the three baristas just watched me take my cup and watched me walk away. No “hey”, “for z?”, “enjoy the go…”. Net net, this is the Abercrombie of Starbucks in SEA downtown
Staff here are super quick with making drinks and stay on top of mobile orders that come in.
This is my favorite Starbucks. The staff are so friendly and they really go out of their way to make the short interactions that they have with each customer meaningful. They really help ease me into my work day. Also, they make great drinks and handle high traffic quickly while maintaining high standards of service.
I love this Starbucks! I go in first thing in the morning, OMG that place is so fun, just even being serviced. The employees super friendly, helpful and fast. I can tell they love their jobs. I must mention the music they have playing, so soothing. The employees there call you by name when you order and they remember your favorite drink.
Love the smiles I get from the batistas here I work early so it's great to get my peppermint mocha without a line
TLDR; this review is for the people who work here, smile at every customer, remember every name and order, and make mornings and afternoon crashes better.
I place my order as I get off the bus on 3rd & Union feeling exhausted. Getting off the bus anywhere on third is absolutely soul crushing and makes me wonder why I'm going to go sit at a desk for the rest of the day, but then I get a whiff of morning urine and realize life is worse than I thought. I spend the next 7 minutes avoiding stepping on people asleep on sidewalks and navigating construction. By the time I get to the building, I'm ready to give up and go home, but without fail, when I get to Starbucks, the biggest smiling face behind the counter greets me and hands me my coffee. They are always busy but always ask how I'm doing and wish me a good day. When I inevitably go back at 3 after I told myself I wouldn't, there's a new set of smiling faces. Happy baristas are really what make the coffee great.
Fantastic, ultra friendly. They even remember my name, although I am really amazing and very hard to forget. 😎
Also, Cam the barista in the mornings is the BEST and my favorite.
Another convenient SBUX location. This one is close to the hotels and convention center and rather large. Like many downtown SBUX locations, this one may close early. Use their app to check if you wanna go later than, say, 5 p.m.
Great people. This is one of the busiest, yet very friendly, Starbucks in the city. It's only open on weekdays because the building is closed on weekends.
Staff is always so busy, but they are always so friendly and get drinks made really fast!
