Believe it or not, McDonald's coffee cost just about the same as Starbucks' in northern VA. So, why not just make a trip to Starbucks as long as it's not within a supermarket. For some reason, I always have issues with their Safeway personnel. read more

I decided to write a review because this Starbucks is in a interesting looking location, which looks like an office building. The service was good and fast. read more

Love this location in Greenbriar! It is very spacious and a great spot to work. The drive thru line can be long but the service is quick. I usually order their mocha latte or matcha latte, it's always a good temp, not too hot, and ready to drink! read more

After actually figuring out how to get here, I was made my way to grab a mobile order. The wait wasn't too long - maybe a few minutes. I could have done the drive-thru but I couldn't quite figure out how to get to it. My drink was good. For a Saturday morning, it wasn't too busy. The inside is much bigger than it seemed from the outside, so ample seating. Friendly employees! read more

Lovely Starbucks located in Fairfax, VA! Upon entering you are greeted by the friendly staff, and my drink was so refreshing!! This a very nice and clean Starbucks! Enjoy. read more

Now that the Starbucks in Fair Oaks Mall closed, I have to come to this location. It's a little tough to get in and out of the parking lot considering it's near the entrance/exit to the mall and there's a lot of incoming outgoing traffic. I used mobile order but still ended up having to wait 5 to 10 minutes for my drinks because I guess they prioritize drive-thru orders. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 because of how long I had to wait for a mobile order. Also the staff didn't seem terribly friendly compared to what I've experienced at other Starbucks locations. The location is very clean, not sure how much foot traffic they have inside vs. Drive thru. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Convenient location off Rte 50. Really convoluted drive-thru and exit configuration (you have to go around the building a second time after the drive-thru exit). Can be slow at times you don't expect (like 12 noon on a Sunday). But normally an easy on/off Rte 50 East. read more

Tis a shame you have to use the Fair Oaks Mall entrances and exits. That's my biggest issue here. Definitely pay attention, as a lot of non drivers. This Starbucks has a drive thru. Can't say I'm a fan of this, but maybe this is more for younger folks, or individuals in a hurry. I prefer to chill with a coffee or frappe. Employees here are efficient and friendly. Honestly I don't know how they do it. This location is very busy. For those looking to relax it's possible, but requires more effort. Definitely appreciated the necessary caffeine boost this morning. If you're in the area this works, and they have a number of coffees to pick from. read more

Starbucks - cars parked in a parking lot in front of a starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

This Starbucks location is convenient if you're shopping at Dicks Sporting Goods (or waiting for someone who is). It's a super-busy location that gets a lot of customers in the drive-thru (even on weekends), so I recommend giving yourself some extra time. On the plus side, the interior of the place has been renovated with a clean, hip design. Also, it's pleasant to go inside the Starbucks because it does not feel crowded (most people use the drive-thru). However, the physical layout is cramped and asymmetric (it appears to have been a former bank). Due to the heavy volume of drive-thru customers, I sensed the staff were a little stressed out and rushed. As a result, I would not expect a friendly smile from your local barista. It's a high volume, high-throughput kind of place. However, if you're patient and don't mind a few extra minutes for your coffee while a friend or family is shopping at the Fair Oaks Mall, this is definitely a convenient stop for coffee. read more

This location was an interesting one as it is located in the bottom of an office building. Typically I would frequent the drive through but the line was super long and the inside looked kinda bare so I made my way in. Starbucks can spoil you when you become accustomed to a certain level of customer service, especially the ones you frequent a lot, that when what you are used to doesn't happen you immediately notice it. No greeting upon entering the store, it was busy so I was able to walk right up and place my order. The barista who assisted me was on his own time schedule or new that could have been it too. I had to repeat my order a few times to make sure everything was captured properly. I did inquire how many stars a breakfast sandwich versus a bakery item would use. He had to consult with another barista to find out, no worries but then the other barista realized he was given out the wrong info and came over and quietly corrected him over his shoulder. He relayed the star count a second time and it was inaccurate again so the other barista just said it loud enough for me to here. My total wait for my drink was about ten minutes which is kinda long considering that there was no one in front of me in line. I could tell the drive thru orders were getting priority over the walk in customers. The inside was clean and there is plenty of seating. They also have a few seats around the serving bar if you like to watch the craftmanship take place. read more

I love a simple iced coffee and I can notice when the taste differs (varies by store location). This starbucks location gives me consistently good quality coffee! Their staff seems energetic and professional. They're not frowning or giving bad service at all. They are usually fully staffed and quick. The inside is very clean and well maintained. read more

What can I say, it's a starbucks. You go there for the great coffee or the customer service you go there because it's everywhere. read more

Starbucks - Skinny caramel frappe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

My coffee is always PURRFECT here! The staff are so friendly and always in a pleasant mood. Whether you walk in or do drive thru, you can count on exceptional customer service. The location is on the smaller side compared to other Starbucks I've been inside but it still feels comfortable there and the team do a great job of looking out for the patrons. read more

They seem overwhelmed and overworked. I felt bad for them. Trash was overflowing and everywhere was sticky. read more

This cafe has been closed for over two weeks. There's a make shift sign outside that is falling off the "floor wet" sign that says "cafe closed use drive thru" My biggest grievance, if the inside is closed turn off the order ahead! The drive thru line is always a mess and at least a 10-15 min wait to even get to the order screen. How convenient is order ahead then? read more

Typical Starbucks setup with slow-moving, long lines in the morning drive-through traffic. Indoors, service moves a bit quicker but still can take 10 or more minutes for a simple order like hot tea. Although not a place I'd recommend for a quick in-and-out when in a hurry, I have never had a mistake with my order from here--even when ordering multiple beverages and food. This is a big plus for me, as most days I would rather sacrifice time on the front end than have to return to the store or be stuck with a beverage I won't drink. I haven't frequented this location other times of the day but imagine the lines are shorter and the service quicker the later you would visit. If you have the extra time in the mornings, I recommend this Starbucks for accuracy of orders and very competent, if slow, service. read more

I come here every morning to get my daily coffee , today was honestly one of the best experiences I've had. Matt not only double checked my order he triple checked and even asked if I wanted something to eat. His customer service is honestly unmatched! His energy was so positive , he's someone I look forward to seeing every morning. Keep it up Matt! :) -Alo read more

This Starbucks sucks!! Bad customer service and gives you cold food and not wanting to warm it up for you bad customer service!

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I dont mean to be harsh but out of all Starbucks that I went to, this Starbucks is the far most unorganized one in Northern Virginia. I'm not blaming. I believe it is one of the busiest Starbucks in Fairfax because it's next to the main road and it has drive-thru, but the manager of this Starbucks might have to rearrange schedule of employees so that each employees' strength balances out for the flow of work. read more

the store itself is always so busy. Therefore the side bars with sugar and milk is usually so messy, empty, and disorganized. However, the barista and the cashier was nice and efficient. My drink came out perfectly. I'll come back again. read more

Pretty cool drive thru with a camera screen that allows you to actually see the staff taking your order. Everyone seemed very upbeat and nice this morning. Drive thru line was long today but usually moves pretty fast. read more

THEY MESS WITH YOUR DRINKS!! I ordered a Frappe from their drive through. I drove up to the window and my drink was ready. The cashier said something to the guy who made it and he walked away. I watched the cashier take a new cup, fill it a quarter way with whip cream, then took the drink already made and poured it into the cup with whip cream. Then topped it with more whip cream, and handed it to me. Then he tossed the rest of the first drink which was about half full. I was not rude to them so I don't know why I was treated like that. read more

I do wish that the inside area was open, especially since they don't show anything close to the full menu on the drive thru signs. The drive thru line was pretty long when I arrived(about 7-10 cars). It took a lot quicker than I expected it to. The workers were friendly as well. Side note - they asked if i wanted a straw. That didn't make much sense to me cause they switched over to no straw kinda cups a while back. I feel like they shouldn't offer them to every customer, but If someone one asks for one specifically, they can give them one, just what I think but not a hugeee deal! read more

Horrible customer service! Walked in to get coffee, asked to divide a portion into two cups, was told they won't do it for me and I had to do it myself. You'd think after paying $7 for a cup of coffee you'd get that much of service at least..it's a shame that a coffee shop won't attend to their customers' needs. Having started as a small coffee shop Starbucks grew into a large corporation with no care for their customers. All turned into a corporation with no soul . Will not walk into this store again! read more

First visit in a long time and craziness.... One bad apple ruins the bunch. My mobile order did not appear/print in their queue so I went to my car no problem to get my phone. I verified location, pulled up the receipt. The girl proceeded to argue with me and treat me like I was stealing a drink... one girl was nice and offered to make the drink but after rapid fire rudeness of one I decided to get a refund by calling in. In what world do you show a receipt that clearly shows you made a purchase and they want to be rude. No reason for all that. read more

I could not believe how they forgot my other drink and messed up another.... full crew and only 3 people in store.... and to make it worse, NONE even APOLOGIZES.... even the SUPERVISOR... like I literally waited for 18 mins... my friend had finish his coffee already and ate all his bread and my coffee aint ready... when i come up and ask for it, the Barista said, oh your label is stuck on my sweater.... still no SORRY.... what happened to the complimentary drink nowawdays??? read more

I went inside the store because the drive-thru window was moving very slow. I ordered Java Chip frappe with less ice and less whipped cream. Man it took them 2 attempts and still they messed my order wrong. The final java chip frappe which I got was worst, some coffee powder dumped in milk because it tasted bitter and was not at all edible. read more

I've been to this Starbucks quite a few times and I'm not sure why I keep coming back other than for the convenience of the drive thru. When I first started coming here the drinks were always what I expected without any issues until recently. I'm not a regular customer or anything but I've been to this location probably 5-10 times or so. For some reason my past 3 drinks within the last month or so have not been what I ordered, with missing ingredients or taste has just been way off. Haven't really been during super busy times either. I don't usually like to be the reviewer based solely off of one bad experience but it's been below par from other Starbucks locations, in my opinion read more

This Starbucks is okay. Nothing really stellar about the baristas. They're here cause it's work. The location is nice being by the mall. It's also a decent size with various types of seating. Although the shape is a little odd. The back area in the picture is nice because it's kind of secluded from the main noisier area. read more

This is a nice location right next to the mall. The baristas are friendly and fast. The interior is nice with a separate area in the back with a larger table for those that need to spread out more with a larger group. The only odd thing about this location in the placement of outlets... they're next to the windows but in the bulkhead about a foot below the ceiling. So if you need to charge something, be sure the cable is at least 6 - 7 feet in length. read more

Completely love this Starbucks location! The staff is amazing and always efficient. I've been to other Starbucks in the area and they don't compare as far as customer service. Always a great start to my morning! read more

What's up with this Starbucks?? It always takes forever to get through the drive through line, even if there's only a couple cars. Today I waited for 20 minutes with 5 cars in line. I don't understand. The people are nice and the coffee is the same as all Starbucks, but come on, 20 min? read more

Yikes... Doesn't seem like the most popular Starbucks from reading previous reviews, buttttt.... I didn't have a problem at all :) The best part was that I went into the mall, came out with aching feet and came across a drive-thru Starbucks? COME ON...can't get any better than that :) Not to mention that I was starving and they had a perfectly warm and melted grilled cheese available for me :) The staff was nice and the line moved very fast! read more

A really convenient drive-thru Starbucks, especially if you're on 50 East (same exit as Fair Oaks Mall, before you hit 66). I usually go to this Starbucks on my way home from work. The first few times I went, they got my order wrong. I'm not sure if that particular employee doesn't work there anymore or if they changed some other process, but after a rough start I haven't had any more issues! The line varies in length, but it moves relatively quickly. Longest I've waited was a little under 10 minutes, and there were probably 8 cars in front of me. An inherent issue with a drive-thru is that you usually won't go back to get your drink fixed if there is something wrong with it. Even if I took a sip right after I pulled away, going back in line or physically going into the building just doesn't seem worth the later arrival time home/longer commute. For the convenience, I don't mind having a few drinks that aren't exactly to my taste. A pretty standard Starbucks in terms of service, but I love the location! Side note: watch out for the geese near the road and drivers who can't read the "incoming traffic has right of way" signs! read more
