This is the Starbucks I can walk to, and when I had 6am shifts this was an easy coffee stop that was already open. The staff has always been friendly and courteous. The coffee is Starbucks coffee. You know what beverages you're getting and it's like everywhere else. My orders have always been made as requested. Mostly writing this review to make people aware (and hopefully more patient with employees) because this Starbucks is not huge and doesn't have a drive-thru so it gets cramped quickly. Right before school and right after it's filled with teens, and in-person and mobile ordering can get backed up 15+ minutes. There are a handful of tables, some bar seating, and a little outside seating so during a busy time finding seating can be daunting. read more

Subject: Cleanliness and safety concern -- Starbucks Store #16494, South Riding, VA I am writing regarding Starbucks Store #16494 at 43114 Peacock Market Plaza, South Riding, VA. I visited on September 19, 2026 and was extremely disappointed by the condition of the store and patio area. Trash was overflowing, there was litter on the ground, tables were dirty, and the straw/napkin/trash station was extremely untidy. In addition, numerous bicycles and electric scooters were left crowding and obstructing the entrance and pedestrian-access area. I have attached photographs showing the conditions during my visit. This appeared to be more than the temporary mess one might expect during a busy period; the overall cleanliness and maintenance were well below what I would expect from a Starbucks location. read more

Always great service from a friendly staff and they have a fast turnaround. No drive thru here so you need to pop inside for your hot or cold beverage. read more

Tried the new Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher. Honestly, I personally wasn't a fan. I was told by one of my friends who works at Starbucks that they did not use the right lid nor give me the right straw for the boba. read more

It's 6:30am and this place is still never open on time ‍ The coffee is always mixed weird, the customer service is abysmal- overall the vibes feel like if high-school students ran a coffee shop. The only convenience is that it's close to home, but the store can't control that. read more

This is the closest Starbucks to us. We usually visit the one in Eastern Marketplace Plz since they have a drive thru. Every now and then we pop into this location. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. Greg was incredibly attentive and friendly. He was so sweet to stop what he was doing and say hello to our little one. The store is clean and organized. Got a pumpkin spice latte, so I was in my happy place. Glad we stopped by! read more

Starbucks - Cake Pops - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Riding, Virginia

I come here during walks to get a refreshing low calorie ice tea to keep me going. The service is amazing and orders are correct and accurate! Please keep up the good work! read more

This Starbucks was dirty I noticed it as soon as I walked in. I've never actually seen a dirty Starbucks so I was shocked. The credit/debit card machine wasn't working so they only excepted cash. That was an inconvenience. My coffee was ok but I was kinda of nervous to taste it because the Starbucks wasn't clean. I mean the tables, counters and floor were all dirty. read more

Another Starbucks. This one probably won't be seen or found by most folks unless you live back in South Riding. It's in a retail complex serving a residential neighborhood. But it's a good pit stop for folks heading east or west down U.S. 50 in Virginia (west of Route 28). I've been in here a few times - had Grande coffees (with room for cream), lattes, Cappuccinos... Today I had a triple shot, grande, Pumpkin Spice Latte. Mmmmmm! Hit the spot! Tasty, creamy, and loaded with that caffeine I O' so needed! NOTE: The address for this location should be South Riding - I've submitted a correction to Yelp for this - don't go looking around Chantilly for this location! :-) read more

Horrible. When I went it toke them more than 30 minutes just to make me one Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew and it was very slow that day. the drink wasn't even that good. I don't remember how much it cost but all I remember is it was expensive. it looks nice inside but it was little bit dirt. all the tables were stick and it was a bit dust. if I was you I would just go to a different Starbucks. And for all the people who support Palestine you shouldn't be going to any Starbuck because the support genocide. read more

Horrible Starbucks never again. I go here cause it's more local to my home but never again. Went inside this Starbucks this morning and the barista was very rude did not know how to scan my phone and my drink was made incorrectly and when I returned they rolled there eyes and gave me attitude. I'm better driving further and getting better service at the east gate Starbucks. WORTH THE DRIVE with the customer service that they provivde from all there employees at that location. NEVER AGAIN SOUTH RIDING. read more

Good Starbucks that even when there is a line, doesn't take forever. The people working at the front were kind and courteous. My only complaint is they kinda burned my egg white bites but they were still edible. read more

If there is one thing a say is consistent across all Starbucks, it is the process they have for filling your order. Coffee flavors come and go but the speed and consistency of the end product is truly something all businesses should aspire to emulate. Of course the fraps and expresso drinks are top notch. This location is well laid out and has ample room to enjoy your drink and get some work done. Well worth your visit. read more

AMAZING. I want to start off by saying, this is my GO TO starbucks for everyday. it never fails to impress me. whether it's the drinks or the food, they are both impeccable. read more

Another local Starbucks coming in as just mediocre. Ordered my favorite - a "Venti Soy Matcha Green Tea Latte" and was waiting a little over 15 minutes for my drink. Honestly, I wasn't in a hurry and this wouldn't have been something to put in a review but unfortunately my experience was tainted bu some Knucklehead teenagers that seem to know the barista. They questioned him about what matcha tea was and then proceeded to say that my drink looked disgusting - like snot in powder form... I'm totally open to opinions that differ from my own but as a customer I don't expect to go through dealing with rude teenagers at every Starbucks I go to. Managers set an expectation of professionalism with your staff. It will serve them well as they enter the work force and it will keep your locals coming back. read more

My husband ordered me a pumpkin spice latte with oat milk. But it was done incorrectly with regular cow milk. He called and spoke with an individual at the store who assured us we could get it remade on our next visit. When I came in to get the drink remade, Kate told me they wouldn't redo drinks. And the female manager questioned the time and day we called and indicated she hadn't received a phone call. As a result I didn't get my drink redone. We come to this location on a regular basis and I'm very disappointed at the response we got over a drink. I won't be coming here again. read more

overpriced and bland every time I try something I hate it it's bitter and too sweet .

Coolest place in South riding. Nice sitout area. Staff is so good. She asked my name, not most of the Starbucks doing this these days. I would go here often as it's nearby to my home. read more

Starbucks - Extra hot latte on extra hot day - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Riding, Virginia

Worst Starbucks EVER!! I've worked for Starbucks so I KNOW that they don't want people to have the kind of experience that this location provides. The older lady cashier is psychotically aggressive and RUDE. I can't believe that Starbucks would employ someone of that caliber let alone put her in some kind of authoritarian position. SUPER PUSHY AND MEAN!!! I wanted an americano (my usual), and was contemplating a pound of coffee for a friend. She kept trying to tell me that I needed more shots added (which was not only not what I asked for, but MOST CERTAINLY not what I needed) and was adamant that I buy the anniversary blend, without ever asking me what I was actually looking for. She even had one of her minions practically throw it in my face, literally. WTF Starbucks, I'm sure there are plenty of nice people near Dulles that need a job. read more

Not my fave Sbux-- obnoxiously pushy barrista (maybe manager - middle aged WF), often crowded with high-school, van-pool moms etc. Not my scene, but this is the 'burbs. They do get the drinks right and have a nice outdoor seating area. If you want to grab a cup and go, this is a good one, if you want to get some work done, go on down to Chantilly Crossing read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Riding, Virginia

Can't believe no other yelper made a visit at this sbux. I'm the first yea!! This is my friendly neighborhood sbux that I like to go with my laptop, grab a latte and yelp away. Coffee-bartenders are friendly, nice and can mix you up a mean grande decaf cappucino with soy in cold days or a grande sweet black ice tea shaken not stirred in the summer time. I like this sbux cuz since I'm a regular, I don't have to explain "a grande coffee of the day, little bit of ice (3 cubes) no room (for cream)." My favorite sbux. read more

I've been going to this Starbucks for years, and it is always a good experience. The staff there knows me and my regular drink order, and they usually get orders in fairly efficiently, even during peak hours. If I ask for something odd or off the cuff, they will take care of me if at all possible. On a few occasions the brewed coffee seems to have sat longer than it should've, but if you complain about that, they'll make it right with either a freshly brewed batch o an Americano. I've only experienced this 2-3 times in going there over the span of years, so I don't really fault them on this, but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention it. I visit other Starbucks on occasion, and I have typically had good experiences at all of them, but this one seems just a bit better. That may be due to the fact that I'm a regular, but either way, I'm not complaining! read more

This Starbucks is always well maintained and clean. The drinks are always great and if there's something you dislike, the employees are always willing and happy to fix it. These employees are attentive and aware of what's going on inside the store even as they're making drinks and assisting other customers. read more

A Nice spot for a morning coffee and breakfast, specially on weekends. It is a full service store, but it gets ruin by a slow and not to well organize service. Thus my 3 stars, service in my book is so important! I recommend a more welcoming spirit and a better cash registrars process. read more

It's nice that it's close. But they get orders wrong too often, especially if it's a new drink or a custom drink. I wouldn't mind so much if one particular barista would just admit to making it wrong instead of giving bad excuses such as what I ordered was a different drink. Not all of the baristas are like that. But a bad Apple ruins the experience. read more

i feel like the baristas at this store are constantly judging their customers. whenever i come in, all eyes are on me from everyone working. i always feel uncomfortable at this location. this is the closest store to me; however, i'm just gonna go to east gate at this point. i love all the employees there. they're always so kind and helpful when i can't decide what i want to order. don't go to south riding. just take the little extra drive to east gate. it's only down the road. read more

Every Starbucks is a little different and has a unique vibe. This one is truly a WINNER!! Erin manages a great crew and it makes for a wonderful neighborhood shop. Thankfully for me, they also can accommodate coffee for 400! I work on a construction site, and we provided coffee for all of our crews today in honor of National Safety Week. Erin managed to pull together enough carriers for 400 cups of coffee complete with cups and fixins! I will go out of my way to support this Starbucks. read more

Good spot always on time all I ever get is Mike quad expresso but nevertheless I'm in and out in 5 minutes. That's all I can really ask for.

Shout out to this very busy Starbucks! Don't know what we'd do without the constant caffeine fix we get here everyday. The servers/baristas are phenomenal and always serve with friendliness and a smile. read more

Worst customer service I have ever received. I'm not one to write reviews, but this location has the most rude baristas. I order 2 coffee travelers and instead of getting the correct amount of sugar and cream. I received a smaller cup of cream and a very rude barista. When I asked for a bigger cup of cream I was told to pay for a bigger size when I never had to pay at other locations. I would not recommend this location to anyone. read more

This is the best Starbucks I've been too. First of all, when you walk in every single employ looks up and says good morning or some equally nice getting. My coffee is always ready and well made in minutes. I used to always go to the Starbucks in Eastgate, but this is definitely my new place. They should be there training center for all new employees!!! read more

This Starbucks has the worst customer service. As Gregg H. indicated in an earlier review, Maria, the female Manager is just plain rude. On my last visit, a friendly, young, African-American male asked me for my order. I said I'll take a grande bold COD. The manager then turned to me and yelled out, "It's not your turn!" I replied: "The barista asked for my order so I gave it to him." She retorted: "There are people in front of you." I then had to explain to her that the barista had already taken the order of those customer in front of me. And when I went to pay, the manager repeated, saying: " Sir there are people in front of you." I know when I am not welcomed in a store. I walked out, never to return to THAT Starbucks. read more

If u think all Starbucks are the same you're very wrong! This one is by far the slowest one I've ever been to and as others have mentioned there's a woman there who is just rude. I can look past the rude lady but not the fact that it takes more than 10 mon to get a simple latte. read more

Every time I come here I get a tingling sensation in my balls. The drinks here are great and marinate my body with sweetness and warmth. The only problem I have with this location is that it is always crowded with the same group of white people taking up all the seats and posting pictures on instagram. read more

The baristas are so nice and the drinks are perfectly made. The store is very calm and peaceful, great space to chill or hold meetings at the huge farm style table they have in the center. They would have been given 5 stars but the bar area and the condiment area were a bit dirty. read more

I love you guys, keep that smile on your face! :) HARD WORKER!!!!! Make drink really fast and good! This Starbucks is better then the one in Harris Teeter! The one in Harris Teeter make my drinks NOT good and ONLY high schoolers are working there! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Riding, Virginia

It's Starbucks - convenient location, but small. This one always seems to be busy, but barista's are efficient and friendly even when the lines are long. I've never had to wait to long for my coffee. I love the Frappuccino especially in the warmer months, but some of the flavors are just too sweet for me. Love the fact that they do these drinks "skinny" as well because the normal version is loaded with calories! Skinny versions in a grande size are a mere 130 calories as opposed to over 500. read more

The service is always excellent at this location. They remember your drink order and are always very hospitable. There's a little less traffic now with the drive-thru location down the street. read more

So I have always had negative experiences at this starbucks until this past year, 2012. They hired a new staff and they actually seem to care even if they are alittle slow. The older lady mentioned in the other reviews is still there. I personally think thats just her personality and she really does care that you are happy with your drink. She's sweet and just goes a bit overboard on being understood and making sure you're happy. I mentioned my unhappiness and she made it right (that was ages ago). The same staff have been there awhile now and the girls are sweet. If you don't like your drink they will always remake it for you no questions asked. The older lady recommended that I sign up for starbucks rewards cause I'm always buying coffee there so I can actually get benefits. I recommend going in. I think the staff is just an odd blend of personalities but they really do care that you are happy. You just have to ask ((ps. South Riding residents are super snobby so keep that in mind when reading the other reviews)) read more
