Starbucks - Renton

I was here a few days ago. The food drinks were what was expected. When the register system went, we all had to wait for it to reboot. That was a little frustrating, but not their fault (power surge? . How the staff handled it was what impressed me. I was mostly wanting to get out if the way of the people in line behind me, but my transaction was incomplete. I owed .14. Not a big deal to them or me, but I wanted to make sure it was completed that my card balance didn't zero out or anything. (You never know with power surges. When their system was back up, we finished the transaction I got a big thanks from the staff. They kept their heads on straight, kept the people in line informed of what was happening. Thankfully I didn't hear a single grumble.

Stopped at the South Center Mall Star Bucks for a cup of coffee, nothing more. Enjoyed my coffee while seated in the mall concourse area.

Very clean and fast paced. The Baristas are pleasant and efficient and was served rather quickly

Vegetarians and Vegans now have a real fast-food option and I'm not too sure it can still be called fast-food as it is made with the highest quality vegetarian ingredients. My favorite vegetarian options range from the Egg White Feta and Spinach Wrap (not Vegan), Blueberry Oatmeal (Vegan), Roasted Tomato and Mozzarella Sandwich (not Vegan), and Brown Rice and Veggie Bowl which has butternut squash, beets, kale, red cabbage, broccoli florets, garden peas, and roasted tomatoes served on brown rice, with a side of lemon tahini dressing (Vegan) and it's also my most favorite entree. These are just some of my favorite vegetarian items on the menu, but they have more. And these aren't the normal tasteless vegetarian fast-food options found at practically every fast food chain, rather, these are gourmet options, full of flavor, and with real healthy fresh ingredients. I've tried all of their vegetarian options but I have to say the Brown Rice and Veggie Bowl is superb. Very filling, full of fresh ingredients, and full of rich flavors. Starbucks can sure cure the coffee craving blues, but I love Starbucks even more now that they offer these vegetarian food options. I'm proud even, because now non-vegetarians will also get a chance to see what is so good about real vegetarian food.
