Starbucks

I had an amazing experience at this quaint little place. My baristas Name was Tucker I believe. The second i walked in I was immediately drawn to him. Not only because of his really neat haircut or fun modern tattoos but his personality was electrifying. He sucked me in like a tractor beam. he made my complicated drink order to perfection in what seemed like seconds. I have no idea how long i was in the store it could have been anywhere from 3 minutes to 3 hours. There is no real sense on time when you are in such an amazing environment. I live out of town so I will probably never be back unfortunately but I will always remember that afternoon. My wife has even been complaining about how often I talk about both your store and about Tucker. Keep doing what your doing.

Love it. Super quick and friendly. Made my coffee right. Most of the time Starbucks tend to mess up the coffee…

I’ve had great service every time I’ve been here. Baristas are attentive and want to make sure you have what you need, despite how busy or slow. One afternoon I went to buy a drink, and realized I had been logged out of my Starbucks app. I tried logging back in multiple times but couldn’t remember the password, and I couldn’t get my password to reset. The barista took my order as I stepped out of line and tried to fix the issue, because there were people behind me. I repeatedly tried to log back in, and finally did; I was relieved to have fixed the issue and asked for my drink because I felt bad, but she told me not to worry. She was very sweet and covered the cost of my drink for me. It was unexpected and I felt she went above-​and-​beyond. I am so grateful! I look forward to coming here because I know the staff really cares.

I love the baristas here. I actually miss those who leave and like getting to know the new folks. They do an incredible job of hiring! Great location too.

A Starbucks is almost guaranteed to get 4 stars because of its reliability and polite service. This was probably my favorite one in the metro area.
What’s nicer than sinking into a plush over-​sized armchair with a book or the paper, and a hot drink, on a cool gray Pac NW day? Not much. Well, those green velour armchairs I liked are GONE. One star deducted. Looks like it’ll be «to go» orders in the future.

Love this Starbucks! They are always on it and fast. Never hear them complaining or looking sad. Thank you for having my latte & reduced fat turkey bacon sandwich ready for me!

This is the busiest Starbucks in town. A great place to see all the locals. No matter what time of day you stop by they are always people there.
Other than that, its a starbucks. You know what you’ll get.

This is my new work time Starbucks, and I love it! After a few Friday morning visits the staff has already learned my order. Familiarity is good. Especially when I don’t have to rattle off «Personal grande non-​fat no whip white mocha»!
Thanks for ending my work week with a bang!

The coffee, like all Starbucks is ok, but it’s the service from an awesome Barista, Cherysha, that makes me come back.

The movie I saw ended about an hour earlier than the rest of the crew, so daughter, SIL and I decided to come over here to kill some time. This Buck is located next to Lamb’s Thriftway which is my absolute favorite grocery store in the area (thanks again Jen!).
As we walked in, I was surprised at the packed full garbage cans outside of the store. Not saying that the employees here are in charge of emptying the outside garbage, but not an attractive sight or smell. Since I was on my liquid diet, I had become fond of steamed nonfat or steamed soy milk. Every Buck’s I visited on this trip (remember, Starbuck’s= clean bathrooms on the road), not one of them knew waht to charge me for the steamed milk. I paid anywhere from $ 2.00 to $ 3.30 depending on the location. This place I think charged me $ 2.20.
I am still not a fan of Starbuck’s. This location was fine-​but I have to knock it down a star because of the garbage situation.

Today I became irrelevant. It is an interesting relationship between parent and child when their friends and activities become way more interesting to them then time with mom or dad. Little eye rolls and sighs have been creeping in for some time now, but today I got a very direct message.
Kids (practically in unison): «Why are you here so early? We don’t want to go. Come back later.» Then they turn and continue playing with their friends.
So since part of me is happy that they are becoming relatively independent, happy little creatures, I decided to run a few errands and kill time. The other part of me is devastated by this latest development and decided to drown my sorrows and chill out at Starbucks.
You either love or hate Starbucks and my review won’t change any minds, but I will say I found a little sweet comfort in an indulgent Carmel Macchiato and their plush armchairs. The baristas were quick and service was fine. I listened to some tunes on the iPod (Smiths and Depeche Mode aren’t just good for romantic break-​ups) and had a good emotional wallow.
Then the caffeine kicked in and I could put on my smiley face and pick up the kids who were actually happy to see me. Guess I’m not completely irrelevant just yet.
