Starbucks

As someone who both uses this location almost daily and also counts on it for a safe place to charge and relax i really appreciate the employees at this location and the attitude they take towards the handful of us unhoused who even know about this little gem. Sad about the policy revert but I am happy to say seattle locations aren't letting that destroy the community they've built within that world and im pretty stoked on that! Go team starbucks! We see you!

Either my husband or I go to this Starbucks nearly every day! We take our personal cups and order the same drinks 😎 Recently I shared with the manager at the time Regan, that my husband hasn't been in because he is in the hospital and has a brain tumor. She was so sweet and kind. I went back a week or so later and a bunch of the partners had gotten a card and signed it with lovely messages. Thank you Tiffany, Kian, Regan, Elisabeth, Jesse, Matt, James, Sophie, & anybody I forgot ❤️💙💜 Love this Starbucks!

Fast service and expected Starbucks coffee quality.

I had a fantastic experience at this Starbucks location. The service was quick and friendly, and the coffee was just the way I like it. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it a great spot to relax or get some work done. Overall, it's a top-notch Starbucks that I'll definitely visit again.

By far the best Starbucks I’ve ever been to. Going fairly regularly over the last year and a half, not a single one of my drinks has been incorrect or tasted bad. Even when I order weird experimental drinks, they still manage to make it delicious. And they’re very speedy. I order online and I’ve only had to wait for my drink a couple of times. The employees here are also very friendly and get to know you by name if you’re a regular! Could it be the best Starbucks in Seattle???

Best Starbucks experience in the city. Tucked away behind the outdoor dining tents under the University Village South parking garage, the staff at this location are low key super talented. The customer service here is off the charts, and the friendliness does not detract from speed of service. The store has lots of space and is attractively designed. Many Starbucks stores can be crowded and cluttered to the point they poison the quintessential coffee shop experience, but this one is the antidote to that plague. Want a pour over from a knowledgeable Coffee Master? Need a relaxing space to study? How about a quick in-and-out on the go experience? It's all here. This University Village South Starbucks has all the right ingredients for perfection.

It was a Saturday evening at 6PM when I went here for a coffee drink and a cake to eat. I waited for a cinnamon cake I ordered as the blonde hair skinny guy with a blue face mask was preparing for it to warm up in the oven. I stood right in front of him there on the other side, and when it was ready, I asked the guy to simply hand it over to me. BUT, instead this RUDE Starbucks employee rejected my request and rudely told me that I need to pick it up from the pick-up station far down on the other end. It is not an acceptable proper behavior towards a customer. Shame on Starbucks for hiring such a RUDE employee.

Fast and quiet in the early mornings, and super dog friendly :) My dog has learned to stop and sit in front of their dog whenever we pass by to get a puppuccino from them 😂

Came here two times in one day. Well its one good Starbucks. I like the things they have for sale and the decor is awesome. This Starbucks has quite a bit of seating space. They have the regular drinks and the drinks they serve at the Starbucks Reserve. Love it. Not to mention they have lots of different mugs and tumbler for sale compared to the other Starbucks. This place is awesome.

Seattle LOVES its Starbucks... so much that there is not 1, not 2, but 3 Starbucks cafes within walking distance of each other in University Village. (You can count 4 if you consider Teavana a Starbucks chain too). College students can study in peace knowing that espresso is within reach when you're trying to cram for that midterm. This location is the newest of the 3 and is my preferred spot - it seems less crowded than the other 2 locations that get overcrowded with college students who take up all the damn tables. Plus they have a good amount of outlets and the wifi is fast. The Starbucks is really called "Starbucks Reserve", which is just a fancier-than-normal Starbucks because it serves wine and bar bites like artichoke dip flat bread and truffle mac n cheese. Personally, I really like the truffle mac n cheese... it's small but tasty and not bad for the price if you're trying to get rid of free Starbucks gift cards. What's neat is that you can redeem your Starbucks rewards for their fancy food items and can collect stars through the purchases of wine. Perfect spot to chill while waiting for your Din Tai Fung table (it's right above this Starbucks).

I always have to bring out of towners here to check out the goods. Very cool location in the U district next to a great ice cream parlor. There are many shops to meander around as you enjoy a nice cold ice brew or a Strawberry Acai.

It was hard to find a seat but it's a nice place to hang out with friends. I wouldn't study here, not so quiet. I loved my drink and the baristas were nice, adding extra strawberry sauce with smile when I asked.

The challenge is, for many, Starbucks is not good coffee. What defies that observation, is that it's always full. So how would someone balance that equation? I submit, there are plenty of people who enjoy the balanced, subtle taste of Starbucks. It's not going to ignite your passion for coffee, but it's certainly a gateway drug into the coffee world. This particular location is tucked next to Molly Moon, and under Din Tai Fung, and nearly always filed with students. No reason to avoid this location, because they offer very adult options, including beer and wine options. They even offer more than pastries, here you can get a very tasty offering of Mac and Cheese, and other curated eats. It's a very modern location, with modern wood tones, and a very loft industrial feel, large windows give you a "garage" feel, without worrying about it ever opening to the elements. This feeling of open space is divided by shelves of coffee and other coffee wares. Don't be fooled, it's a retail outlet, but it doesn't feel like it, instead it feels like a welcoming home, and explained the students flocking here. Of course, if you dare to sit outside on a nice day, prepare to smell the sweet milky temptation of Molly Moon. It's intoxicating. So as far as the coffee, you get Starbucks Reserve, which is their curiously flavor rich coffee single origin or blends. It's delicious and made on their Clover brewing vacuum systems. If you disliked Starbucks Coffee blends before, try a Reserve. Don't give up on my local hometown coffee company, coming here might make you want to come back.

This is no usual Starbucks. It is a Starbucks Reserve store! Meaning they have special types of coffee (allegedly the best of the best) with different flavors and each flavor is offered for only a limited time. It is more of an evening store and they also offer wine and small plates. The interior is probably the most inviting Starbucks I have ever been too. The baristas are super nice, the display for the pastries is super chic and it is located in University Village. What more could you ask for?!!! This can be my home! I am glad that the hometown of Starbucks provides such an elegant store so close to my work.

Wow - we don't have these in Denver!! I stopped in for a short Pike and was impressed by the menu options (wines, flat breads, small plates... etc) and the construction -- an absolutely beautiful cafe... only wish I had some homework or something to read so that I'd have an excuse to hang out in there and drink coffee for a few hours! And yes, the coffee was great like always.

Thank you so much to the upstanding staff at the Starbuck's University Village for finding my backpack and tablet! I would be lost without it! Thank you for being honest good people, I will never forget it!

Umm.. are you serious? Literally, they just had a Starbucks employee walk around the entire store to see who did and didn't have drinks and ask if you would be ordering a drink if yo didn't have one because the area is for "Starbucks Customers Only." Excuse me? This is a public place and it doesn't say you have to order a drink? I would say I go to Starbucks frequently enough (every other day) that they seriously should chill their shit at this location if I don't have a drink this one time. Plus, I don't see any other Starbucks going and kicking people out or asking customers to order a minimum of one thing...

Proof that if you build it, they will come. This is the 4th Starbucks in this shopping location! It's got a bit of a spin as a Starbucks Reserve store, which means don't expect super froofy drinks and you can get wine and small plates! Plus the men where collared shirts and ties under their aprons I really like the bit of an elegant take on the well known Starbucks story! Disclaimer: I'm a person who loves Starbucks and it's consistent level of service and caffeination. When a new Starbucks opens and angel gets its wings!

I dislike Starbucks. There, I said it. But for a new reason: they just threw out a perfectly good breakfast sandwich. Why? After I ordered it, they heated it and set it on the counter without announcement. I had taken my seat and had no idea it was there until I asked fifteen minutes later. I lifted the bag and it was tepid, so I asked them if they would mind reheating it a bit. The barista cheerfully chucked it and told me they'd start a fresh one, saying something about how, once I'd touched it, it wasn't allowed to go back into the oven. So I'm doubly angry: at the wait, and the waste. At least shout out when an order's ready, folks!

This is one of the nicest Starbucks that I've been to, and I've been to quite a few Starbucks in many states. First, the location is amazing! It is in the cutest, quaintest shopping center. It is great to hit up Starbucks before you begin some retail therapy in the area. I went on a Saturday morning, so it was busy, but it was a pretty fast process. They are organized and take orders rather fast, even with a line of like 10+ people. I received my drink within about 2 minutes, which was fast for how busy the place was. They have a lot more food options than other Starbucks with sandwiches, smoothies, oatmeal, etc. It is a larger Starbucks, and it is set-up well; even if it is busy, the store doesn't feel crammed or packed. If you're looking for a nice Starbucks location, I recommend this one! I will be back :)

This is my go to Starbucks on the way to work. It's the newer one of the 3 in U-Village. I usually mobile order my drinks and they come out right for the most part. No real interaction with the baristas, but I'm thankful my order is always ready by the time I show up!

I'm always excited when I come across a Starbucks that focuses on their Reserve coffee offerings. This is one of them. To top it off - they offer Nitro brew! This is the ultimate. But what's so great about nitro cold brew? For starters, there's the base ingredient, which is the rich, chocolate-y coffee that has been cold brewed for up to 24 hours before being cut with water. And then there's the nitrogen, which, when paired with the stout tap and its finely perforated restrictor disc through which the cold brew is served, creates a textural wonderland unlike anything else offered in a coffee shop. (Several brands also offer the stuff in cans, which are equipped with widgets that work to create a similar texture to that produced by the stout tap. Be warned, though: opening the cans immediately after the suggested shaking will not end well.) The gas from the nitrogen creates pockets of air in the body of the coffee that gives it a kind of luxurious mouthfeel that's like a milkshake, only with none of the calories or dairy -- it's suggested you drink it black, sans milk. Such is the ultimate appeal of a glass (or can) of nitro cold brew: more than most other coffee beverages, it's perfect as it is. The fullness of its rich body eliminates the need for milk while the complexity of the nitro allows for a flavor just sweet enough that you wouldn't dare add sugar. It would be understandable to chalk up nitro as a gimmick or a fad in coffee, but something that's worth remembering is that coffee has only recently been recognized as a thing with nuance, a specialized product that isn't just, as Anthony Bourdain says, "fuel." Stop by!! Don't skip the nitro. If you have to, at least have their Reserve coffee Clover brewed!

When the other 2 Starbucks at University Village are full, this location usually has some room. There's community bench seating in the back if the main area looks full. So don't be fooled. Staff was nice and patient. We enjoyed our go to drinks before heading back out to do some shopping.

OK, this is the 3rd SBUX at U village, so you may wonder why they need another store. But this one is a bit different, as it is the first "Reserve" store (see the R and * on the sign), as they focus more on their reserve coffees. Inside, it's a bit more hip yet intimate, and the interior is gorgeous in the new complex at U village. I tried the Ethiopia Reserve from a Clover and was not disappointed. Definitely a different experience from your typical Starbucks, and by far, my favorite at U village. They also have booze and food, and the place is bit of an experiment. While it may not work in every setting, it fits in perfectly at U Village.

They have some of the nicest baristas I have ever met, who go out of their way to make sure that your experience is great and that your drink is great. Also, for a busy area they have an extremely fast throughput of coffee, and even with the longest lines I have never had to wait long to get my coffee. It also just has a real nice aesthetic and atmosphere that makes it more inviting, and there is ample sitting space (although when it's super busy it may not have an open seat). This Starbucks is a great combination of good coffee, nice baristas, and fast service that allow for a very good experience and a nice pit stop for people who are shopping around University District. Overall a great place to go to if your looking for some good coffee and friendly service.

This is a really nice, clean and cozy Starbucks and probably my favorite in and around the University district. I love the different nooks to sit and chat. A little bonus is that it is conveniently located directly under Din Tai Fung for those that want to put your name down and have a place to chill while waiting.

I practically live at this Starbucks and its wonderful. I'm a medical student and pretty much was here every day studying. The staff is great, the location is perfect, the store is clean/there are tons of outlets and... the coffee is... (well its starbucks but lets not discount the store for the brand). As far as Starbucks go... this is the one to be at. NOT TO MENTION: This is a Starbucks Reserve which means they serve extra types of food and even alcohol (wine and beer). Awesome!

I have been to all three store locations and this one has by far the worst customer service. I did a mobile order earlier this morning and was not expecting the type of service I received. I walked in and went to the counter like I always do. I made eye contact with a blonde barista and began mentioning I had a mobile order to pick up... she looked at me and walked away. Next, a brown headed girl looked at me and says " can I help you?" not in a nice tone... again I mentioned that I had a mobile order to pick up, and she grabs my cup, fills it up, hands it to me and walks away... uhh Thank you? I don't deserve the type of disrespect I was given during the two minutes I was there. I definitely expect better.

I'm really hoping this is the right Starbucks I'm reviewing for (it should be the Starbucks Reserve store). I've been drinking Starbucks for perhaps 6-7 years now, and by far this is my favorite location to be at. Not only is it conveniently nearby where I work, but the staff there is AMAZING. All of their baristas deliver such superb service. They are always so friendly and nice to me, and do their best to -correctly- remember your name. I really appreciate that the staff here seem to know how to work as a team. They make their drinks perfectly as well, especially their blended drinks. Most places I have been to have used way too much water, but this Starbucks uses just the right amount. Their drinks are always consistent in quality. I'm not old enough to drink, but I always see small private parties enjoying a glass of wine/champagne here and there. Their evening menu looks fantastic as well. The atmosphere is classy and great. there is a small bar seating, outdoor bar seatings, booth-like seatings, group seatings (that can seat 4-6), large tables and small tables.

Super quick and really friendly staff. I like starting off my mornings at this store!!

Located in the University Village, this Starbucks coffee shop is a reserve. They are kiddie corner of the Amazon pilot shop. They sell alcohol beverages and food which makes them a little more classy. It is as fast and as easy as any other Strabucks in the area and there are 3 Starbucks in University Village alone.

This place gets a bit hectic but the staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. You pretty much can get any of your typical starbucks orders here, which the addition of a few special flights and ice cream. 3 stars because I personally don't like Starbucks in general but I thought I would give this spot a try, with hopes it would be a bit different/better. I tried the nitro flight, I recommend grabbing a chocolate marshmallow donut from General Porpoise beforehand. It's the perfect pair! Even the baristas walking by my table made remarks on how brilliant it was. The little library room looked so cool but unfortunately it was reserved and unavailable for the public.

It's always a trip for me to come to a Starbucks in Seattle vs. In Vancouver. It is the same chain, however, the experiences are a little more different. For starters they have different pastry options and although it is a chain, they take their coffee as a culture compared to Vancouver. I appreciated that it was one of the few places in the city that was cool with the AC on high as it was very stuffy outside. Customer service was super awesome and chill. I wanted a basic hot mint tea poured over ice. I have this weird thing that I like to do the ice pour over myself as I am very specific and picky about how long and strong I like the mint tea stepped. I also wanted to use their wifi and work on my lap top on my Guns N' Roses post show review and wanted to organize some of my show pics from last night. I needed a reasonable work station where I wasn't pressured on time.

Not the best of baristas on the register but it is a busy day. Need improvements on customer service. Not friendly in any way

I had to kill about 2 hours around UW thus stopped by at this Starbucks. Compared to other Starbucks, this one had lots of space and seats. I ordered a vinilla Latte and it tasted good. Nothing really special about this place, just a good place to have a rest and enjoy the pretty fast Internet.

This is a Starbucks Reserve location where they sell beer and wine, it's awesome! We had a book club meeting here and it was the perfect spot. It's located next to Molly Moon's in the newly built area of U Village, under the garage. It's pretty spacious, has a few outdoor seats, but the seating situation inside is sort of scarce, plan accordingly. The guys working were super nice and everyone's orders were correct (there were 7 of us girls). I had ordered the red blend and some of the other girls had the Pinot, all were delicious from the feedback I heard. I also got an order of the artichoke/goat cheese flatbread and it was pretty delicious. My total order was about $14. They also have bacon-wrapped dates which looked pretty good too and all of the glasses of wine include a little dish of yummy chili covered pepitas (little pumpkin seeds). I love this location and I can definitely see myself coming back with friends! Awesome concept, Starbucks, keep it up!

I love Sumatra coffee! Not sure if this location specializes in Sumatra's but they had a great selection of them and the barista's were also helpful in finding the kind I was craving.

OMG they finally FINALLY upgraded their Wi-Fi Internet to full high speed (like most other Starbucks have routinely had for a year to 2 now). Why they've been stuck in the slow lane for the past couple of years, who knows; it was pretty insane.

Note that there are 4 Starbucks in U Village. I like this one. It is typically less crowded than the main Starbucks in U Village and co-located with a huge parking garage. You can even walk into this store without getting soaked on a rainy day.

The AC in this store is amazing. Ok, that's a horrible reason to write a review, right? But it's the truth. Everything else is as expected - pretty blah food (don't try the chicken skewers...I wasted my money on those, hoping that someone had improved the food...but no). But, between the free refills for gold members and the free wifi, amazing AC, decent seating (not a ton but more than some Starbucks like the one in Wedgwood), and high tables in the back that you can treat as "standing desks" - AND outlets underneath said tables to you don't have to be right by a wall - they earned their 5 stars, all the way!

I can't believe Starbucks tastes so good in Seattle. It's not fair! This location has a particularly good vibe. It smells wonderful.
