This Sbux is amazing, their staff is so friendly while still being genuine. I don't know how they do it honestly.
Its a wonderful place to sit down and give yourself a few minutes to gather your thoughts and live in the moment, for a moment anyway.
This store is so welcoming and I enjoy a friendly chitchat getting to know these multifacited baristas and about their outside interests, who knew I'd meet a lovingly dedicated bearded dragon dad who spends his off time updating his beloved reptiles habitat.
Yes surprisingly to some everyone in life has an outside of work life.
I wish I could redecorate it (although not before implementing an all compostable wares set up like local legend Taco Time did like a decade ago). I would also thoughtfully incorporate a larger napkin condiment garbage bar to include a community post its display inviting the community to leave thought provoking messages. Its a shame Sbux corporate seems hellbent on each store being as close to the same as possible. Well Powers that be you can't replicate the Star power of this Sbux team, no matter how hard you try. Staff are great at what they do, and thoughtful even under the pressure of a build up of customers who want immediate satisfaction of that first sip of the day (yet didnt think to order thru the app).
I love this store, its brighter with so many windows and sitting inside makes me endlessly contemplate how I would utilize the space if it was mine to decide and appreciate how lucky we are for Redmond North.
Also Waydes Coldfoam is undefeated excellence. Everyones a winner here at RNS. Which is why I try to stick to this Sbux purely.
Interested in decorating thoughts Sbux Corp. Feel free to reach out.

Read moreFriendly staff at the Bella Botega Starbucks. Love to get coffee here while shopping at QFC. Some people say the coffee here tastes burnt but personally I love a dark roasted flavor and that earthy taste. The Espresso Roast is my go-to bean for daily home drip coffee as well. The one I really don't like is the Komodo Dragon roast. Not sure if they still make that one but it was too oily for my taste. The Blonde roast is also very nice if you prefer a lighter roast. If you think you don't like Starbucks, try the blonde. It might be more to your liking. I do wish they would improve the food here though. It works in a pinch but isn't that great. Starbucks has had some good food over the years. Like when they bought that one bakery La Bulange (sp?) out of San Francisco and had their products for a while. What happened? Also there was a BBQ Brisket Sandwich they had for a while that was a cut above. I would actually GO TO Starbucks for lunch when...
Read moreI am a resident of Seattle for 35 years and until now after all this time, today I found out about a grab and go places stores. Btw, these stores don't have a sign that shows the kind of establishment. Check out the pictures.
Let me tell you what's this mean. You WOULD NOT be able to seat, find a restroom or charge your phone without being reprimanded or shown that you can't seat, use the restroom or recharge. I guess the passive aggression becomes to boile if you chose to charge for a bit your phone as you may need it for emergencies and yet don't expect courtesy or temporary seat. An experience given by one of their partners at this location.
BUYER be aware that before you enter into one of these coffee locations ASK if you can seat, use the restroom or charge your phone otherwise be prepared for an uncomfortable experience. And reconsider if it is the place...
