Starbucks - Bethesda

This is one of my favorite Starbucks in the area. The baristas are very attentive. I typically order through the app since this location tends to be quite busy. There are a few seating options, but they're usually taken in the afternoon, and it can get a bit chaotic at times with people not tidying up after themselves. However, there are outdoor seating options available when the weather is nice. There is no drive-thru, but plenty of parking is available since it’s located in a shopping center.

While I still enjoy going to Starbucks, I find I can't go as often as I used to, and I definitely skip the pricey sweet drinks that are so popular among fans. As a shareholder, I appreciate the stock despite its recent decline. I hope management can either work positively with trade unions or improve conditions for their employees so that unions aren't necessary. I'm okay with either approach—as long as the coffee is great, the atmosphere is pleasant, and I can easily get my drink just the way I like it.

Despite having three shots of espresso, I ended up feeling quite tired just a few hours later. Was the espresso not effective? Was I experiencing a sugar crash? Or was I just sleep-deprived? Perhaps it was a mix of all three.

Love the service! My drink came amazing! Daji visited me and made me welcome, regardless of how full it was! Very recommended.

Great location; this Starbucks is excellent. I've never had any issues with my drink ever, which is always a bonus. Each crew member is hospitable and kind. It has a prime location, but I will say that parking can be terrible in that shopping center (obviously, not Starbucks' fault, but something to note). Great location, and always timely and tidy.
