First, I love the location and vibe you get stepping inside. They have a lovely outdoor sitting…read morearea and comfortable seating inside with plenty of views of the river. The staff is always friendly and welcoming each time I have visited and overall feeling you can spend all day in this place and feel at home. I came today to try their coffee flights. Then theme was St Patrick's. They are small which is perfect because anything bigger would've sent me flying on the sugar! Each drink was different and thoughtful. The flavors blended well with the coffee. I would've liked to have tasted more of the coffee but I have no complaints. This round of flights was tasty with my favorite being the Lucky Charms which tasted like they infused cereal milk into the drink and the Clover with white chocolate, peppermint and vanilla with that striking green hue. They change their flights often, so give them a follow on FB and Instagram to keep up with what they have next.

Cool place, definitely would go back whenever I am in Washington. Service was quick and friendly…read more The egg on my sourdough "egg toast" was perfect, with the yolk soft but not runny, and the white cheddar cheese was nice. I had a Dirty Chai, which I really loved: espresso, chai spice and steamed milk. It was just the right sweetness. The building used to house a hat factory and they have examples of them above the doorway to the restrooms, which were clean and bright, like the rest of the place. Just kind of a cool place all around, and like I said, definitely would go back again! Close to the Amtrak station and the riverfront, and in the historic area of downtown Washington.

First we were impressed by the great service and the upbeat attitudes the Barista's all had. So very friendly and patient as we made our choices. We choose to go to the place twice while in town, so we had an early light dinner, which was absolutely delicious, and then of course our Fru-Fru coffees. We loved the ambiance of the coffee shop as well. We are recommending it to our young and old friends and will visit again soon.

First, I'd like to address that this location is managed by Target, not the actual Starbucks…read morecorporation; Washington voted out the real Starbucks which was originally located where the current GameStop is for some idiotic reason. I enjoy Starbucks coffee and drinks for its consistency. So when I'm here on holiday visits, I come here, as it is the only decent "coffee shop" in town. Still, this location struggles to meet the standard, all at the fault of poor management. With the amount of guests it receives daily, it shouldn't be out of the question to have at least two people on the floor at all times. One for taking orders and one for making drinks. Far too often do I visit and wait upwards of 20 minutes before my drink is made, which of course is my own choosing, not the baristas fault. It is completely unfair to have one barista on the floor struggling to take orders while quickly making everyone's drinks, especially when it comes to custom modifications. Patience is one thing, sure, but whoever manages this location should reconsider their position. A big thank you to the baristas who still manage a smile during a solo rush.
