I like the long table in the middle with the heavy high chairs. The fireplace is nice, too. The employees seemed older than the average Starbucks and coincidentally or not I think the customer service is also better than the average Starbucks. I will definitely come in again! read more

They got my name wrong! The coffee lid was off! Ambiance was loud and I could hear the lady at the counter!

I was happy to see the door open last night on my way home. 7:27PM. In deference, however, to the barista, I hesitated, "Oh, are you open?" I was coming in to grab a frappe on the way home. "Oh, um, well we ARE sorta cleaning up here..." was her response. Not feeling particularly welcome I walked back out to my car. Kind of a head-scratcher there. I wasn't aware of your hours, and was really glad you were still open. I know the baristas work hard--no question there. But I left with the strong impression that my presence was an inconvenience to Starbucks. I've worked this gig. You want to get out--but be open or closed. I came in well ahead of the posted closing time--you could have served me. I would have been gracious. Please do better. read more

I don't usually come to this location so i'm not sure how their service usually is. I went in today and this is how full my coffee was when I came in to pick it up. You can see by the mouthpiece that I haven't drank any of it. I get that starbucks can be busy but I have also worked in a busy coffee shop and it was standard that we always make drinks how they should come for customer satisfaction. Coffee prices are already expensive let's at least provide people with what they pay for. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

My daughter and her friend went to this Starbucks today and I was not pleased to find out that the cashier had ignored them for at least five minutes before taking their order, it was not busy at this time and there was no one ahead of them. When the cashier took their order she did not provide the customer service that I would expect at Starbucks. Other than that though the drinks were really good and the barista was very kind to them. If you really want to go to Starbucks go to the one in green lake instead of the one on 35th Ave. read more

These people are by far the friendliest Starbucks employees my wife and I have ever dealt with! As former small business owners ourselves we know the value of keeping a staff like this. read more

This is a wonderful neighborhood location. A destination Starbucks to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon listening to Billie Holiday or Nina Simone warmed by an inviting fireplace. While capacity restrictions affected this ambiance, the smiling eyes behind masks never disappoint. I always leave here a bit happier in the moment, a caffeine euphoria and pleasant people like Bryce make the mornings a bit brighter. Hoping one day masks will become a memory, but the smizing is authentic from Bryce and Marshall. Keep up the great work. read more

It seems like I'm constantly updating these coffee-shop reviews, doesn't it? Anyways, I felt that a higher rating was in order for this place, not because I think anything different about Starbucks as a business/corporation, but because I've been coming here semi-regularly for almost 3 years now, and I've gotten to know the folks that work here. See, I'm a people person, and if I like you, you could probably serve me a cup of alligator-puke, and I'd choke it down with a smile... "What, seconds? No thanks, I'm full." Not to say that they're serving up vomit in here, (really, they're not) but I wanted to justify the 2-star to 5-star rating jump. The baristas are great. They make this place my preferred Wedgwood coffee-shop. read more

Just left here HEATED. Why do we torture ourselves and wait for these drinks is beyond me. Short staffed and busy as hell. Waited a ridiculously long wait and he fucked up my drink 2 times and had to make it a 3rd. made my blood pressure soar. You may think it's trivial, just coffee. But it's time and it's the principle. Put your mind into what your doing, pay attention. That's why they write the details on the cup. I end up looking like the psycho bitch to boot. Stupid millennials. Don't even have the sense to flip me attitude back. read more

I love this Wedgewood Starbucks location. In my neighborhood and so convenient. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. They make an effort to get to know your name and greet you when you arrive at the door. Even when they're busy, they manage to get drinks out in a timely fashion. Excellent service all the way around! read more

After moving to the new neighborhood of Wedgwood... I was quite excited to see a few shops within walking distance of my new abode - this Starbucks being one of them. Normally I would stick to my civil duty and visit this store as I like, with little thought as to throwing a review up on Yelp. But this store is different. Two words: Nuova Simonelli. This location is fortunate enough to be endowed with a semi-automatic espresso machine not that unlike the La Marzocco beast found at the original Pike Place Market store. A machine that - when under the hands of a compitent barista - produces a much higher quality shot than that of the the fully autmatic machines found at nearly every other Starbucks on the planet. Now with the different machine it does take a tiny bit longer to pull shots and complete beverages, so that must be taken into account if you are the I'm-late-to-my-yoga-class type of impatient being and require your java in less than one minute. Certainly not a machine that work best in a drive-thru location. I've had a pleasant time sitting by the fire, reading with a nice latte and absolutely love that it is less than a minute's walk from my front door. Here's hoping this machine catches on... read more

I go to this particular Starbucks every morning. The staff is very friendly and efficient. Their coffee, tea, paninis are all delicious. I really like the coziness of this Starbucks. Plus, it's right in my neighborhood. read more

So, here I am. 1st ever gym workout at orange Theory a few doors down. I'm exhausted, and as I approach my car I realize that I've locked myself out. It's cold out... not to mention my phone has just died. Tim and Co. made sure I got a charger to get in back into my car. Thanks guys!! read more

I think I've kind of made this my new regular Starbucks. The baristas are all crazy nice and the drinks are always top notch. The only issue is a lack of space sometimes, but people cycle through quickly enough so it's not too much of an issue for me. Really great environment to study as it's not too loud and busy most of the time. read more

What a great way to start the morning with this Starbucks up beat, high hospitality, good vibes staff! Definitely making this my new regular location. Keep up the high spirits guys! read more

One of my friends had some gift cards she had to use up, otherwise we totally would have gone to Top Pot or the Grateful Bread... but anyway, I'm not anti-Starbucks or anything radical like that, but jesus christ, they gave me the real "seattle" coffee experience the other day: me: Yeah I'd like... um... (trying to decide) a... barista: condescending blank stare me: [thinking] ... a cafe mocha barista: a cafe mocha? (disgusted wrinkle face) me: yes barista: a cafe mocha? (intensified disgusted wrinkle face) me: A CAFE MOCHA barista: what.... size..... me: 12 oz. barista: whipped.....cream..... me: noooooooooo.... barista: OKKKKKKKKKKK..... They weren't busy or anything, so I fail to see the stress that I was apparently causing this poor barista. Anyway, it was a weird experience and I won't go back. read more

It's Starbucks! What can I say? This location did stand out a little for having pretty good customer service. And there is parking in the back, which is always good. read more

I know I am supposed to hate starbucks. I do, I guess... I don't know. Although their mocha tastes *gasp* better /gasp than most of the "hip" places we go to. Whatever, I'm no coffee connoisseur. They always have good pastries and other goodies. Plus this location has a fireplace and is pretty nice inside, unlike some of the others I have been to. I did some of my Christmas shopping there, they have the best insulated mugs I could find. read more

Starbucks is pretty mainstream, so I'll try to be concise. The drip coffee at Starbucks is good (my favorite is the Pike Place Roast). I like the espresso better, though. It is more expensive than most other 'local' coffee joints for drip coffee, but the Wedgwood location is really convenient for me. I like that the food at Starbucks is always changing (except for when they took away the Piadinis--I thought those went so well with coffee). A new favorite is the Turkey Pesto Cranberry sandwich thingamajig and the Turkey Bacon Breakfast Sandwich. These will definitely make your morning coffee much more expensive, though. Coffee + Food at Starbucks in general gets 3 stars, but the friendly service at this location easily adds the fourth star for me. read more

When I go in the afternoon, the customer service is amazing. However, the few times that I have gone in the morning, I have left feeling very disrespected. The ladies who work in the morning are impatient and rude. read more

Yes bitch. The pinnacle of Starbucks. Everyone here is cute and nice and make every effort to make ur experience amazing. If u want some good ass drinks get your booty over to the Starbucks on 35th. read more

There was apparently a change in the store's manager and several newer and younger staff that started this past summer. The result so far hasn't been great and the quality seems to have gone down hill (opening late several times this summer after years of only being late in opening if it snowed, drinks being messed up regularly if they are busy). The baristas who have been there a long time (Stephanie comes to mind) are still amazing and spot on with everything that they do. But the newbies just aren't seeming to be stepping up to the standards the old-timers set. read more

Nice Starbucks, and near Top Pot! Guy forgot to share my friend's order with the barista, barista quickly rectified (with an upsize!) and presented a free drink coupon. I don't care what none of y'all say, I love the Bucks. read more

Great neighborhood - cool vibe. Lots of studying happening here... big line but worth a few minutes for a great brew and a quick fix! PS - double sided fireplace! read more

This location is A-Ok. Clean, friendly service. I ordered the standby of a caramel machiatto in a for-here cup. Most Starbucks take 10 cents off, but not this place. It's ok but a little slow. Nothing wrong with my drink, made the same as usual. read more

Parking for this Starbucks is just horrible! In addition, the store is so small and packed with loud customers. I don't understand those people who risk to be hit by busy traffic on 35th Ave. or getting tickets from parking in wrong spots to get a cup of coffee. This Starbucks can be much better, just take over the Key Bank space next to you which is always empty anyway then create a drive through window then I will give you 5 stars. For now, I try to avoid this specific Starbucks as much as I can. read more

I had to change my review because this location has really stepped up. The baristas are very cordial and upbeat. Conversations with them are great and my drink is very good on top of that. They tend to be ever so slightly slow when it's rush hour, but they do it with a smile. I'm glad they are just up the block from me and I'm happy to stop by when I can. Great job! read more

Never had any issues at this store like some of the previous reveiws. Just friendly service and tasty coffee. I reccommend the cold brew if you haven't tried it, so smooth and refreshing. read more

My whole family loves this location for coffee.we enjoy the trivia question each day. The staff are the best. We enjoy going here but occasionally use Safeway on 75th& Roosevelt. read more

LOVING THIS STARBUCKS..... Do you want great coffee with Great customer service? This is the spot!! The location is ALWAYS clean, Marco and the others ALWAYS greet with a huge smile and know you by name. There is ONE taller guy with a stinky attitude but isn't there always one??!? lol They are more than happy to always accommodate to you and more than helpful. The seating is ALWAYS great!! Stock is wonderful. There is an indoor/outdoor fireplace. There is also shaded seating outside for those wonderful sunny days. There is easy on street parking or easy accessible parking behind the building. THE ONLY ISSUE I HAVE IS WITH THE MALE EMPLOYEE THERE but NO ONE is perfect and is any one business? This starbucks is by far the best in Seattle. I feel like whenever i am there I am at CHEERS (minus the alcohol and random drama lol)..... "where everybody knows your name." lol read more

Always friendly and willing to be patient with complex orders. The staff at this Starbucks is what gets 5 stars. The coffee is meh.

I am not quite sure what is up with the rave reviews of this location. It's been quite inconsistent with service standards each time I've visited. Sometimes fast and friendly.....today extremely busy with the partners moving with no sense of urgency. No eye contact, no thank you, nothing. The barista at primary beverage production looked like she hated her life. Register barista was quite friendly! read more

I was so touched this morning by the compassion and patience shown by the Starbucks staff. As I was waiting in line, I observed two baristas (Rory and I didn't see the other one's name) working through different modes of communication to serve a man with some sensory deficits. They gave him paper to write on and fingerspelled. They let him take his time and did not give up when the message was not conveyed the first time. It was truly moving to see in a time when humanity can seem scarce. Keep up the great work and know that your kindness is appreciated! read more

It's a Starbucks, nearly identical to every other location on the planet. It's usually half full in the afternoons, so finding a table isn't too much of an issue. The place is clean and the staff are friendly. read more

This is my regular Starbucks and though they may all seem the same, this particular store is different. I love the people that work there. Always wonderful, fast, and generally on it. read more

I've had worse customer service in other Starbucks locations, but never this bad in Seattle. One time a barista here drew a big frowny face on my cup because I politely chose not to give her my name. Not a fan of having it shouted out in public. I've also gotten cow milk instead of soy and espresso instead of chai. Sometimes they're out of soy completely. Almost every time I go here something is awry. The dudes working in the evenings are competent and friendly. I will continue to avoid it in the mornings and afternoons. read more

I don't normally review big chains and I don't normally go to Starbucks. There are too many great, independent coffeehouses around for that, not to mention there's Top Pot Doughnuts, and Grateful Bread just down the street. I'm making an exception for this location because of the staff and the outdoor fireplace. There seems to be plenty of turnover at this place, but everyone is still incredibly cheerful and helpful and full of pleasant chit chat. And I mean everyone. Service is quick even when they're crowded and they'll make drinks that aren't on the menu. I know it's all probably some corporate customer service policy, but there are plenty of stores that fail at it spectacularly. Lots of Starbucks have fireplaces too, but this one is open to the outside, so you can sip your coffee, stay warm and gaze into the gas flames on a nippy day. Nice touch. They stay open until 10 every night, which in Wedgwood is pretty late. Something I appreciate when I need a latte at 9:45 pm. Yes, I drink caffeine that late. No, I don't bounce off walls. read more

I am a very frequent Starbucks customer and I felt very compelled to write this review based on my experience today. I usually go to the same Starbucks (Uvillage) every time I need to get some studying done (which is quite often), but today I decided to change it up a bit and try somewhere new to get a change of environment. I frequently drive past this Starbucks on my commute to and from home, and from the outside it looked really cute and quaint, so I decided to finally give it a try since its closer to home than Uvillage. At first I had trouble finding the parking lot, since the entrance is a small hidden driveway that is easy to miss located on a busy street. The tiny parking lot shares parking with Key bank and a pharmacy, so spots are quite limited and very narrow. I squeezed into a tiny stall, and debated aborting this location and just sticking with going to Uvillage where parking is not a problem at all in their new parking garage. But in the interest of time and the need to get some serious studying done, I just toughed it out and slithered my way out of my car as to avoid hitting the car next to me with my door. I walk in and I notice that the location is very small and the seating is scant. Luckily I didn't need an outlet today so I didn't have to worry about that issue. As I was trying to decide on a sandwich, I noticed that some of them had expiration dates of today, so I definitely avoided picking those. After sifting through the selection, I finally found one that had an expiration date of tomorrow. So I went with that. I was there at 12 noon and I was surprised at what little selections they had for food at that time. My usual drink tasted normal, and the barista who rang me up was just friendly enough. As I was getting ready to leave, I got a refill for my coffee and the barista who rang me up did not greet me, just grabbed the cup from my hand and placed it on the counter next to him along with all the other orders for the other barista to work on. It was very strange. I waited for my drink at the other end of the counter, and while waiting, I heard the most disturbing comments from who I believe was one of the managers of the store. She was a taller middle aged lady with shorter dirty blonde hair. She was speaking quite loudly and reprimanding a fellow barista about something that I'm not quite sure, but what I did hear was this: "wow. you really can't do a job that requires ZERO education? It's actually sad that you work here since you have a bachelors degree." I couldn't believe my ears. How could someone say something like that?! She wasn't saying it as a joke either. She was dead serious. I was surprised she was saying this amongst a handful of customers waiting for their drinks. This was the cherry on top of my experience at this Starbucks. Because of this I will definitely not be returning to this particular location. It's really a shame I didn't catch this on video. You can't make up stuff like this! Terrible! read more

New baristas: If someone requests a soy anything, don't give them milk. Some of us are lactose intolerant, it's not just about flavor.

This is one of the few Starbucks' that doesn't use an automated machine, and I can tell the difference in taste (assuming good espresso is served). It's a pretty small, neighborhood store, so it's typically families and older folks from the Wedgwood area. Service is pretty good from everyone, but there are a few that I've never heard a "thank you" from. Lines usually move pretty quickly but parking can be difficult to find during peak hours. read more
