Starbucks

obviously starbucks is consistently what it is.
so my reviews for them focus mainly on the location.
–Great location! hits just before belltown becomes downtown.
We stroll in here a lot because of its location.
–A lot of seating! I’d say a good sbux for those of you who like to set up your office in coffee shops or want to sit down and enjoy your coffee! Wifi connected easily in the times ive visited here.
–Staff are meh. Sometimes friendly, other times boring and don’t care too much about you.
–Cleanliness is at a 3 out of 5. It always feels messy and things are out of place. This part doesn’t matter a ton if you’re grab-​and-​go like me.

I really love coming here. The logo in front and the french door feel, it just feels so cozy. They have nice chairs and tables in there. And nice patio outside too. All the workers have been friendly and always nice and welcoming. Coffee is always on point for me. Caramel macchiato or caramel frap is what I always get. Love love and love starbucks, a nice treat. And I love this location!

Testing and such.

I went here to get my morning coffee, and there was absolutely no line. The shop had a lot of space for working, and lounging. My drink was prepare and quick fashion, and I was out of there before I knew it. I definitely enjoyed the hospitality of the employees, and will be coming back soon.

The Starbucks is located in the heart of Belltown in the Bell building. There is ample seating, the place has high ceilings which give it a very open feeling. A good place to work. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. Although it is in Belltown, it does not get crowded, if you are walking to SLU or downtown for work from this area, a good place to pick up a morning coffee.

I had my drink and was waiting for my friends drink. She mentioned nonfat milk and I suddenly realized I forgot to order mine with skim milk. When I said that to my friend, Beth the barista, overheard the conversation and offered to make a new one. I said it was okay however she insisted! Plus it was perfect! Happy Friday to me!

They’re always really friendly and the line is never too long. Would love it if they stayed open later!

Short Story: Don’t expect to get any work done here if you need internet.
I’m not a Starbucks super fan, I think their coffee is mediocre and bitter at best, but I appreciate the convenience and «experience» they (usually) offer — free Wifi, a comfortably place to sit and maybe get a little work done that’s fairly consistent.
Not this Starbucks. First, the internet here suffers and is barely usable — they say it’s because they only have a T1? Weird because that building has fiber optics to the residents above. You’ll get between 0.2 and 1.1mb of download speed (today I was the only one with a laptop and got a staggering 1.09. So don’t plan on getting any work done that requires a decent connection.
The service behind the counter is inconsistent. Out of the five times I’ve come by in the late afternoon, they are out of drip coffee and will make you wait — other locations offer you a free Americano if they aren’t ready for you with drip. Just those little things are what you expect if you’re spending $ 3 on a drip coffee.
So fix the internet and get the staff up to speed on the drip coffee I will update the review accordingly.

Not a bad place to study

I like this Starbucks, one of my favorites in terms of the ambiance. Drinks, meh, not much of a Starbucks drinker but I will once in a while have an Americano or something. I like to meet friends here that live in Belltown. Kind of a weekend «Central Perk» for us. Fun times!
Lots of natural light, great art, commffyyyyy couches and a mix of hard tables and chairs for whatever you fancy. It’s a cool people watching spot, especially during the summer when you can sit on the patio and bask in the sun.

I wish all Starbucks looked as cool as the ones in Seattle. They all have an extra nice touch! However, this Starbucks, the barista was really rude. When I asked him for the code to use the restroom, he couldn’t have said it any meaner. My caramel machiato was also not good, the worst I’ve had.

Tasteless drink, around this time… They aren’t that busy, just two people working one cashier and one drink maker. Unacceptable, by far the worst Starbucks I ever been too.

While being a tourist in Seattle, we started off at Pike Place (ironic we didn’t go inside the original Starbucks) and wandered in the direction of the Space Needle.
Its a rather large location, but you’d think there’s more seating or more power outlets. Maybe Seattle doesn’t offer power to their customers like SoCal does? Most of the SoCal Starbucks have sofas or benches with outlets weaved under the seats or embeded in the table. I had to ask someone to share their outlet to power up.
Anywhoo, the baristas seem nice, but wasn’t too generous with the milk in Stephen’s iced coffee. Of course he was able to top it off himself, but that’s not the point of ordering a drink, and they place it next to the sign that says «if they don’t do it right, bring it back».
The bathrooms require a key code, which the barista whispers in your ear. If you’re dyslexic or have a bad short term memory, I’d bring a pen and paper when asking the barista.
My picky point is their food items disappear fast, and at 1:30 pm, the pickings were slim. So if you come here, it’ll be purely to sit, relax, enjoy the huge window and natrual light (given if its a bright day), and don’t really stay for the food.
I’m giving it 4 stars because it is a gorgeous location, but really, it deserves 3 stars for the lack of product, the stinginess of the milk and lack of power outlets for today’s techno peeps like us.

Gorgeous Starbucks! Long glass windows with hotel style curtains drooping down, red wall paint, and comfy leather seats and multiple bars. This is a really great location!

I really like this starbucks, never had a problem with an order and the employees are usually SO nice and caring. It has great seating and is never that full! It is nice to have a neighborhood starbucks as nice as this that is open, comfortable and relaxing. occasionally I get a girl who isnt paying much attention or is rushing me through my order which usually I understand a coffee shop is a busy place but even when there is no line I get rushed or feel uncomfortable deciding/​asking questions. Maybe I just ask too many questions. Everyone else here is genuine and friendly and the manager is really cool and extra nice!
Anyway, still 4 stars! It is well kept and at beautiful location with a beautiful interior!

This is a great Starbucks. Really friendly staff, and the ambiance is great. It makes you want to sit down and take a moment to relax and enjoy whatever it is you just picked up.
I popped in for a quick tea while walking to the Space Needle area, and decided to kick back for a bit and enjoy.
Great location, gorgeous window light!

My go-​to starbucks when I was living in belltown.
Consistent, nothing wrong, largest starbucks locally for a mile.
There’s the typical starbucks menu of anything you want on your coffee, espressos, tea, frappichinos, eye pleasing décor.
The one thing I’ll add about this place is that the décor is very nice and there’s lots of lounging space, this is definitely the biggest starbucks in town.
While I can’t say there’s anything exceptional about this starbucks, it’s definitely my favorite in downtown Seattle.
Pros:
Space
Easy access on 1^st ave
Outdoor Seating
Lots of Lounge Space
Caters to the entire starbucks menu
Cons:
Starbucks Prices
No parking that isn’t street or 15 $+

I don’t drink coffee, just tea. And I don’t drink it at Starbucks. Eh. But I came in to get some GC’s for friends who do. It is a nice coffee shop. Pretty big with a decent amount of comfy seating.
It’s nice that they have a code for the bathrooms. Seems to be fairly clean, which is a plus in this area.
Friendly staff.

This Starbucks is in the heart of Belltown on 1^st avenue. It has outdoor seating which is cool during the warmer days since there are a lot of interesting characters (for better or for worse) in this part of town.
The interior is pretty nice. It has high ceilings, somewhat dimly lit, and feels cozy. I saw a moderate amount of tables and a few couches.
This location closes at 8pm.

One of the nicer Starbucks locations that I have visited. The location in Belltown is a short distance away from the downtown hubbub, but it feels more relaxed. I like the high ceilings and the décor is tastefully modern. The relaxed feeling here makes it seem like a good place to work using the free wi-​fi.
They are running a Frappuccino promotion until tomorrow in which they are ½ off from 3 – 5 pm. Everyone seemed to have the same idea as I did to get one, especially given the 80 degree weather outside this weekend.
Got a grande mocha Frappuccino with whipped cream ($ 4.25 regularly). The mocha flavors seems to sink to the bottom while the cream stay at the top. As a result, the drink gets creamier as you continue to drink it. Typically I stick with getting a latte, but given the weather, a cold and creamy coffee beverage was the right call.
If you are looking for coffee in Belltown, I would suggest either going to this Starbucks or trying Uptown Espresso on 4^th Ave or Bedlam Coffee on 2^nd Ave. Each one has good ambiance and coffee drinks.
