User Reviews of Starbucks Coffee

3 of 5 stars. It's Starbucks so you know what kind of coffee to be expecting, but the unique thing about this shop is its amazing view. Tucked away on the 40th floor of the Columbia Center, this Starbucks allows…

3 of 5 stars. I am not much of a Starbucks fan but...this Starbucks has an amazing view of Seattle being that it's on the 40th floor and it's a great place to bring friends visiting from out of town.

Coffee on the well done side

Great variety, know what to expect, coffee beans too charred for my taste. They always seem to over-charge by accidently keying into the register multiple items of which I actually only have one.

Coffee tastes burnt; prices are ridiculous; most of the employees assume you know all about every thing on their menu, so they are abrupt when you don't know.

I'm never disappointed at my local Starbucks. The coffee is good, hot, and the baristas know me when I order at the drive up. It's 'comfort food/coffee'.
