Starbucks - Capitol Hill

Stopped in for my birthday goodie as I was next door this morning. The gal who helped me was quite fun and engaging. Gotta love my Starbucks!! Thx

This Sbux is amazing, their staff is so friendly while still being genuine. I don't know how they do it honestly. Its a wonderful place to sit down and give yourself a few minutes to gather your thoughts and live in the moment, for a moment anyway. This store is so welcoming and I enjoy a friendly chitchat getting to know these multifacited baristas and about their outside interests, who knew I'd meet a lovingly dedicated bearded dragon dad who spends his off time updating his beloved reptiles habitat. Yes surprisingly to some everyone in life has an outside of work life. I wish I could redecorate it (although not before implementing an all compostable wares set up like local legend Taco Time did like a decade ago). I would also thoughtfully incorporate a larger napkin condiment garbage bar to include a community post its display inviting the community to leave thought provoking messages. Its a shame Sbux corporate seems hellbent on each store being as close to the same as possible. Well Powers that be you can't replicate the Star power of this Sbux team, no matter how hard you try. Staff are great at what they do, and thoughtful even under the pressure of a build up of customers who want immediate satisfaction of that first sip of the day (yet didnt think to order thru the app). I love this store, its brighter with so many windows and sitting inside makes me endlessly contemplate how I would utilize the space if it was mine to decide and appreciate how lucky we are for Redmond North. Also Wades Coldfoam is undeated excellence. Everyones a winner here at RNS. Which is why I try to stick to this Sbux purely. Interested in decorating thoughts Sbux Corp. Feel free to reach out. If you're still reading this please bring your own reuseable cup for your drink, the environment appreciates it Rockstar.

I really like this particular Starbucks. The employees are very friendly, I can park my shopping basket and go in to have coffee and egg bites, and they have a little heater by the big easy chairs, so it's super cozy. UPDATE: no longer cozy after remodel.

We went to Starbucks for the first time over the weekend, and unfortunately the place was very busy. There wasn't much tables to sit, plus it took about 10 minutes for our coffee to be ready. Unfortunately, even the name was spelled on the cup incorrectly.

Friendly staff at the Bella Botega Starbucks. Love to get coffee here while shopping at QFC. Some people say the coffee here tastes burnt but personally I love a dark roasted flavor and that earthy taste. The Espresso Roast is my go-to bean for daily home drip coffee as well. The one I really don't like is the Komodo Dragon roast. Not sure if they still make that one but it was too oily for my taste. The Blonde roast is also very nice if you prefer a lighter roast. If you think you don't like Starbucks, try the blonde. It might be more to your liking. I do wish they would improve the food here though. It works in a pinch but isn't that great. Starbucks has had some good food over the years. Like when they bought that one bakery La Bulange (sp? out of San Francisco and had their products for a while. What happened? Also there was a BBQ Brisket Sandwich they had for a while that was a cut above. I would actually GO TO Starbucks for lunch when they had that.
