- coffee placeStarbucks was a last minute pick for me. I was more upset that there wasn't a coffee place closer to my parent's hotel, but it isn't the end of the world. This isn't the hotel's fault; obviously, the lazy rpcv (me) and Peace Corps choosing the location have most of the responsibility regarding what is near the apartment.

If you're seeking a cozy spot with a fireplace and outdoor seating for a relaxed visit, this place is definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared for potential challenges with parking and possibly limited seating during busy times, especially if you plan to work or need reliable WiFi.
Value (3.4 out of 10)
mentioned by 12% of the guests
While the overall value experience here seems to be struggling, with a score of just 3.4 and customer satisfaction at a low 20%, there are a couple of bright spots. Some folks appreciated receiving a gift card with a good balance, and a few found the price per person to be quite reasonable, especially in the $1–10 range. These positive sentiments, though few (2 out of 10 comments), highlight that a good deal can occasionally be found, particularly concerning gift cards or specific price points.
However, the general consensus leans heavily towards disappointment, with 8 out of 10 comments expressing concerns. Many felt the offerings were extremely expensive, with prices too high for what you get. High sales tax and refused discounts were frequently mentioned.
The feeling that the company doesn't provide better value, alongside changes like increasing stars for a free drink, really left a sour taste for many.

- Consistency60 miles between the two must change the cost in grounds or something. Consistency is not something offered by this company. I think I'll stick with non-conglomerate coffee from here on out.
- coffeeIt's funny to me how the same coffee at another Starbucks, just a day or two before, cost over $2 more in Seattle. 60 miles between the two must change the cost in grounds or something.

If youre looking for great value, this might not be your first choice, as many find the prices quite steep for whats offered. While a gift card or a specific low price point might occasionally surprise you, be prepared for potentially high costs and sales tax. It's probably best to manage your expectations regarding overall value here.

Ignored at Starbucks
My first time trying Starbucks in over a year was a complete disappointment. I was completely ignored by the staff and didn't even get to place an order. It felt like they only paid attention to customers they knew by name.

My experience at the restaurant was marked by slow service. After receiving my drink, I had to wait 10 minutes for my bacon sausage egg wrap. The food itself was okay, but the wait time was a significant drawback.
