Starbucks - Maltkiln Lane

It's convenient to have Starbucks this close from home. Since last evening I had an itch to try the seasonal drinks at Starbucks so I executed my plan this morning. I got the tall size apple crisp macchiato and chestnut praline latte. Starbucks drinks basically taste the same so I wouldn't really rate this place based on that. But as expected, chestnut praline latte was more up my alley than the apple crisp macchiato the apple syrup tasted too artificial. The barista (I think her name was Maribel) greeted me quietly yet cheerfully, at just the right tone for the morning. I respect her for being in good mood even though it was still early in the morning. She was thoughtful to ask me if I needed a cup holder. I've seen some **** services in Starbucks in NYC but it's a lot different in Seattle locations I went to another Starbucks inside a Safeway yesterday and the barista there were also polite! Maybe they are encouraged to be more proud of their work because Starbucks is from Seattle?Happily armed with a cupholder with my drinks in it, I also got a cheese on sale because the cheese section was located right next to Starbucks. Now I actually feel like I understand the benefit of having a Starbucks inside a supermarket you can get some grocery shopping done at the same time! Awesome.

As with the larger Starbucks around the corner, says online that dine-in is available, but they've removed any tables that may once have been there.

This has been and remains (even through COVOD) one of the most efficient and friendly Starbucks locations ever!

I'm not sure what the question is. It is what you would expect from Starbucks a standard that surpasses the highest marks attained by any other coffee shop. It always has been that for me and I just take for granted it always will be. Starbucks is the epitome of what coffee shops should be. Period. B

The service was great.
