I've only rated one other Starbucks a 4* and that was in the Pioneer Square area of Seattle only because the service was just that much better than any other I've ever been to. This place gave me that feeling too and while I didn't really have a full on convo with the people there they were smart, quick and know their stuff. This is above the Starbucks in Capitol Hill which serves wine and the original old school one at Pike Place.
This Starbucks is oddly shaped inside and quite small. It's almost as if the inside is in 3 different sections, the entrance vestibule and counter, one seating section with stools and another counter type with another entrance/exit.
They have a covered bunch of tables outside (covered by the building) so when it rains you won't get totally soaked.
Oddly enough I know the duchess of this establishment and since it's HER Starbucks she deserves a shout out. Meena, thanks for letting me visit YOUR Starbucks. I regret not dropping your name for even more special treatment.
