Starbucks - Puppuccino!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Forest Park, Washington

Well, if there was one more thing to make me boycott this coffee chain, it's these ridiculous cold cups. I seriously want my money back. These new compostable cold cups are like drinking a beer in a wine glass. Just NO. I am so disappointed in these new cold "compostable " cups. When I order a cold drink, I want to see my cold drink. I want to hold my COLD drink. I swear, the amount of actual cold brew in this cold drink was minimal. So, on a beautiful sunny day, after I got this ridiculous cold brew, I went shopping and I literally felt like I was walking around with a hot coffee. It also completely threw off the taste. My cold brew tasted like cardboard. (Insert tantrum) I just can't. Even if this drink was free, I don't think I'll ever get over this one. #bringbacktheplastic read more

I really like this location. The staff are super fast and work like a well oiled machine. If there is one thing that I love about Starbucks is consistency, consistency, and consistency. The training and multitasking reminds me of how some Seattle coffee shops used to pump out coffee with 8 people waiting in line. Even when slow, the baristas are efficient. This isn't a long review for Starbucks. Great job. read more

Quick stop at Starbucks after visiting Pfingst Animal Acres Park with the kiddos! The staff were super friendly, earning an A+ in my book. My 8-year-old ordered her own drink and was thrilled... until she saw her name spelled "Sannie" instead of her actual name . She laughed it off, relieved that her order was correct at least! However, the table we sat at was a different story - it was pretty grimy. We didn't stick around to eat since our bus was arriving soon, but what caught my attention was that one of the staff cleaned the table right after we got up. I wish they could've done it while we were sitting there, especially since my eldest didn't even want to sit down because of how dirty it was. Still, the friendly service made up for it! read more

Cool barista this afternoon. He had just started his shift and had lots of energy. I had the soy iced chai tea no ice delicious. Loved the energy and how the barista got to know me. I'll definitely return when my next crave happens and I'm in this area with a client. I recommend this location. read more

Starbucks - So I ordered a drink this morning at 7:30 am from the drive thru and received this. Never going back! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Forest Park, Washington

Bathrooms are dirty Employees are unfocused trying to do too much at once. Complete the task in front of you before moving on. You left me standing at the register waiting to finish paying because you tried to multitask. Treat each customer with the respect they deserve by focusing on them until you are done. read more

The employee here are amazing! I bought I Galinda drink and they accidentally made it a size smaller but nonetheless they gave me both my venti drink and the grande drink. They're always very friendly and want to spark up a conversation. Very sweet and nice people. I hope they get the recognition they deserve because there's not a lot of business that do that especially not in fast food. read more

The first time in a long time that I've had a positive experience at Starbucks. Shout out to this team for bringing back the "3rd place" values. The team was so kind and wrote "Happy Birthday" on my cup since I used my bday reward and they all wished me a good day as I headed out. So sweet. read more

I love this location! I have a store closer to my house but the employees at this location in the early morning are so kind I drive the extra. read more

I have been going to this store a little over two months, ever since I moved. At first I felt like the drive-thru was extremely efficient and kind but today's experience has definitely shaken that. I usually place my mobile order on the way to my car in the morning, which gives me about 10 minutes to go get it. The app always shows about a 10 minute time for pick-up. Today the line was longer and slower, I thought someone must be being extra and holding it up. When I got to the window I was met with no greeting or kind face, I assume she was overwhelmed. Name Tag said "Liz". She questioned my order, whether or not I actually placed it, if I placed it to the right store etc. Normal questions if they hadn't come with the condescending and impatient attitude. She kept walking off to scroll the mobile orders aggressively. She told me to get out of line and back in, to which I replied I would rather not since I was already a long wait and I had my toddler with me, the order now nearly 20 minutes into queue. She told me to just sit there then, and walked away. I had to actually ask my husband if I was crazy to think that she was being so unkind. Ultimately she stops talking to me, sees the order after scrolling a bit, and then makes it. As she hands it to me, no eye contact, no word, just yells back "don't make Megs, I did". I was a partner for 4 years and a coffee master for two of them, I completely understand dealing with difficult customers and the stress of a busy line. In no way does that entitle you to be nasty to anyone. Breathe, be kind, you don't know what my day has been like either. In complete disinterest of running into Liz and her impatience again, I think I will be using a different store to pick up my morning coffee. 3 stars for those who really show up to work. read more

Staff is very friendly. With that said. Service is horrible. Almost every time I come in to oder a drink. They literally make 20 drinks and manage the cars in the drive thru. Over anyone inside. You'd think that if you actually took the time to come in to order. They might make you the priority. read more

I really like this Starbucks, but there is a singular worker who consistently messes up me and my friends orders, and is constantly charging us for things we didn't order, therefore we're paying more for things we didn't order. she's always forgetting things and it's so frustrating read more

I know, I know...it's a Starbucks. And as a former-independent-coffee-shop-owner I'm probably going straight to hell for writing such a positive review about a place like this. But I can't deny convenience and this particular Starbucks is worth visiting even if you typically avoid generic coffee chains! The staff is fabulous and the atmosphere is always upbeat & happy. Every. Single. Day. They don't play dreary coffee shop music - it's disco or funk or something cool every time I'm in there, which is usually 5 or 6 times a week. I frequently order ahead on the app and my drink is always ready before I get there so I can just grab it & go. And even though I always order the same drink no matter which Starbucks I go to...dare I say it tastes better when I get it here? Maybe that's just in my mind but I swear it's made with just a little more love. Keep up the great work you guys! read more

The baristas are super friendly and remember your name. Drinks are good. My only complaint, which is not the fault the baristas, is they seem to be permanently short staffed. In the early mornings, there's only two baristas managing both the drive thru and inside. I had to stop coming here because I would sit in line for 20 minutes and be late to work. Stop here as long as you have time to spare. read more

Quality Starbucks! What they do well: staff that is hired, has lots of compassion. They do what is right for the customer. They also are the only one with a lit fireplace. One of my favorite ones to visit. What they could do better: offer more free samples, stay open later if business allows. read more

I see these negative reviews and they really make no sense. This particular Starbucks location is great! Tons of parking, easy access, friendly staff, and not to mention LOTS of tables and chairs and spots to sit for a while and get some work done. People complaining about being out of a certain syrup?! Gimme a break, what is the world coming to when your latte is just a little off. They guarantee satisfaction so if you hate your coffee with a different flavored syrup, get a refund. There are greater troubles in life than if your local coffee stop is temporarily out of a certain syrup. Phew okay, rant over. Anyway, I give it five stars! Been here numerous times and never had a particularly bad experience. Close to other retail and conveniently located on Bothell Way. #hurray for the bulletin board with local stuff going on and different local services and offers. Way to go! Keep community a top priority. read more

I love this Starbucks location and the employees are always so helpful! I visit this location frequently and always have a good experience

What gives with this location... They were out of some key flavors (not their fault) The drink took triple the time it normally takes even though it was just me and another person waiting I asked for extra drizzle, didn't get it, instead got extra syrup, I think this is because of the nervous cashier who sped past this request and didn't clarify. Then the barista puts it on the counter and doesn't seem to care. No offer to fix it. Whatever. Everyone has bad days. I don't know why I keep going to Starbucks when I can make my own damn coffee at home, or at least support a business other than the monster that is Starbucks read more

I come here all the time. No other SBUX makes my fav drink (Americano) like this location. Baristas are super friendly. Centrally located with lots of seating. Great place to make new friends. read more

Looks like I'm breaking my rule of never giving the naked mermaid more than 3 stars. When did the memo get released that baristas either have to be: A. Corporate drones B. Hipster at organic shops C. Hookers What Starbucks has in spades and the reason the company as a whole is so successful is the convenience of locale and ease. I can honestly say that this is hands down the nicest team of baristas that don't dress like hookers and pretend to be nice for a $5 tip on horrible coffee. The staff here is so bloody friendly it makes my otherwise grey heart grow 3 times in size... Or was that the grinch? But I digress. I spend a good amount of time visiting this locale. From the cashier to the bloke making my drink, it's evident that the manager trains this staff to have good customer service. Starbucks coffee is still overly burnt and really doesn't taste good (I blame Seattle as a whole for liking that acidy burnt taste) but this place has smiles by the boatload and a pocket full of sunny disposition. Bloody hell I'm in too much a good mood, thanks naked mermaid. read more

An overall stellar team of baristas! I'm a Starbucks partner that was visiting from Hawaii and this team really took care of me and my life partner during our time in Lake Forest Park. The drinks we got daily never lacked in quality and the team took the time to try and get to know us - even though we were drive-thru regulars only. Thank you for taking care of us during our stay! We appreciate you all :) read more

The communication between the workers here is crap. People were getting wrong orders and majorly out of order. To boot the staff don't care at all if someone takes the wrong thing or gets made the wrong thing. In the few times I've been here the only time they haven't messed up my drink is when I get an americano. read more

An average looking starbucks with a semi slow drive thru. The iced tea drinks are good. I really enjoy the green tea peaches iced tea. It's not that expensive for a grande. The only problem is I asked for no lemonade in my drink but I guess they got the order wrong. read more

A relatively good location serving as your pit stop for your daily dose of Seattle-coffee. This one scores right at the fiftieth percentile of standard distribution curve. Orders were made, debit cards were swiped, and beverages were delivered to my vehicle. One could argue that because it's at the fiftieth percent that the service was classic Starbucks customer service, which I assess is always a good one. read more

Excellent crew working there this weekend. Brad is always great working at the drive through. Great tasting latte and superb service.

6:00 AM music blasting. I ask the male barista if he could please turn it down and his response was that the music is a feed from the home office and he can't control the volume. I aske him to speak up, I can't hear him, and he mocks me by saying he can't here me. I find a more quite corner to have a conversation with my friend, but still need to raise voices to be heard. As I look around this huge SB, there is only one other person staying in the SB to drink their coffee. Evidence that it is too loud in there? read more

Horrible service. Horrible drink. When complained that it didn't taste right, they just said 'sorry' and that was It I said it's also way too hot and they would not remake it. I chose not To make a big scene as that is not me so I just left and went to a different one where they would make it right. read more

SOME baristas are super nice and thats what the 2 stars is for. Drive thru is poor... 15 to 20 minutes in line, EVERYTIME...

I just visited this place and the woman (Alex) was not very nice. She was incredibly sassy and I did not appreciate her attitude and lack of care to me and my friend. Then her and 2 other Co workers of her started critiquing people on a magazine cover and laughing at them. Ironic because they were all wearing pride pins. The only lady not involved, her name started with an F. She made our $6 drinks and was not involved in any of the poor behavior displayed. I think her fellow employees should look at her as an example. Drink was delicious. I just hate paying $6 for a rude interaction though.... read more

Great location, unfortunately they won't open at 5am as listed. Hard to support your local Starbucks if they won't let the money in.

So I went here and got a chai and I was a little shocked on what I experienced. Firstly after I ordering my Chai, I was watching the barista making my drink (I work at a starbucks and usually watch just to learn more and to make sure my drinks getting made right) The barista made a drink prior to mine, and after pouring the milk in the other persons cup, the barista took the SAME pitcher and cross contaminated the milk, and steamed my milk in the same pitch he used for the previous guy. I was just so shocked, I mean it may not seem like a big deal, but nothing was being sanitized, plus the my drink wasn't made right at all. And 2% milk is a little hard on my tummy, that's why I get Non fat milk, and I could taste 2% in my chai, and ended up having a tummy ache. read more

This is "my" Starbucks so I am partial to it and the people who work there. This location has seen a lot of construction in the past year. Both to update the store itself (looks great!) and now to the surrounding shopping mall. All during that time the employees have maintained their standards of service. Even when they were housed in what was basically a trailer! In my experience the employees are always friendly and fun to chat with. Whenever there are long lines they always make an effort to apologize. The food and drinks I order are consistently good. We also really appreciate their offers of treats for our dogs! read more

I came to visit this location after another Starbucks had royally screwed up my Americano. Thank you Carrie and staff for re-making my drink, no questions asked! read more

I've been in the drive-thru line for nearly 15 min so far. If i could get out, I would abandon my am coffee and go elsewhere

There are times when the easiest option is SBUX. That said, drive a little farther because this location is sorely lacking. The drive-through was exceedingly slow and when I reached the window, attempting my "I-can-commiserate-with-you" conversation, I was met with grouchy frostiness. My coffee had a burned aftertaste plus after dealing with that-can't-seem-to-turn-left-forever parking lot, I was crabby as hell. read more

I have been going to this Starbucks 4-5 times a week for 3 years now. Everyone here makes an effort to remember who you are, which makes the experience more personal. As someone who also has to remember names of customers at their job (while also in a retail setting), this is always appreciated. In 3 years, I would say I've maybe had my order come to me incorrect 3 times? Out of over 1,000 orders, I'd say that's really good. So I don't know where all these negative reviews come from. Besides, like any Starbucks, they'll let you keep the wrong order and make you a new one pronto. I suppose people are more likely to voice a negative opinion of one experience, rather than a multitude of experiences as a whole. Special shoutouts to Julie, Brad, Carrie, and many others who try to make the experience positive each time. read more

Love this place! Friendliest baristas around. Their drive thru sucks location wise, but not their fault. My drink has always been perfect!

This is for Oct. 3 around 6pm. The barista was great, but the counter clerk (short reddish hair) was offhand and clearly could not have cared less. She kept turning her back to me while I ordered one food item and one drink, one of which was to be free (from earned rewards)...when I saw my receipt, I told her she hadn't given me my free item. Her reply: "You didn't tell me." I didn't argue but said, I told you but it must have been too noisy. I gave her the benefit of the doubt up to then, but no more benefit of that when instead of offering to credit an item, she turned her back again and walked farther away. I said I'd use my freebie elsewhere. No response. I will definitely not be using my freebie or spending my money there again. Usually I go to the Edmonds downtown one, where they rock, and I'll stick to that. read more
