The store itself is very nice and clean. It must be a newer store in the middle of training, at least that is the feeling I got from the barista taking my order. I saw they had signs for Green Apron blend on their drip coffee pot, so I ordered two to be put in my two clean reusable cups. The barista looked confused and like this was the first time anyone had ordered drip coffee. She had me set my reusable cups inside of their coffee mugs (maybe so she didn't have to touch them? I have no idea). It took quite some time to get the coffee since they apparently had to do pour overs. I watched as another barista did the pour over into a paper cup and then poured into my cups (so much for minimizing waste).

Get the app, get familiar with the drinks and other offerings, as when you discover it's magic... Starbucks...
Read moreFavorite Starbucks hands down! ALWAYS get exceptionally friendly drive thru service. In fact, as an avid Starbucks patron, this location is consistently going above and beyond to make genuine, friendly conversation by delightful baristas blowing locations throughout King and Snohomish Counties out of the water.
The drive thru is free of clutter or garbage. The inside seating area is also maintained and clean the handful of times I've gone in for a mobile pick up order.
There have been a couple of times my drink hasn't been filled close to the brim (an inch or so short) which is an area for improvement) but they always get my order correct.
This location employs hard working staff definitely deserving...
