We had out of town relatives visiting for the weekend. They hadn’t seen much of Seattle so we took them to Fremont; thoroughly enjoyed the market and area shops then stopped at Starbucks… walked in an it was a mess; inside was dirty; stuff spilled on the floors, napkins laying around, etc. We ordered ice teas and got them fairly quickly due to the easiness of the order but those with anything more complicated were waiting 10+ minutes. Bathrooms… where do I start?! Fremont is not a high crime area that I am aware of yet you must punch in a numeric code to unlock restrooms which theoretically, you get from the baristas after paying for your order. Not sure why this is or what is to stop people from simply walking upstairs and getting the code from the person just exiting the bathroom or simply grabbing the door when the user exits before it closes and locks without, God forbid, actually buying something then waiting 10+ minutes to get it and then what… take your drink(gross!) in the bathroom with you? Bummer if you ordered food as being expected to take food into a bathroom is beyond gross. Especially these bathrooms… one bathroom was absolutely filthy! The other bathroom was just as filthy and had no TP or seat covers. Hey Starbucks… You can pretty much expect a really busy day on one of the first sunny days in Seattle… customers expect faster service and sanitary bathrooms. We won’t be back.

This Starbucks is always prompt and friendly, with no lack of workspace. Only downfall, not a lot of plugins for charging laptops. Other than that, wonderful.

I use this Starbucks more for convince since all the local coffees are farther away from the bus stop. The workers are friendly and give you coffee.

I like this Starbucks the best out of any I have ever been to. They have a large selection of food items, friendly staff and a cool set up. It’s clean, lots of natural light and I really like the furniture and the stairs. I would like to come here to study of work. Parking is on the street.

I love the setup of this starbucks. The staff was really friendly. My starbucks app wasn’t loading my gift card for some reason, and the barista was really nice about it and just gave the coffee to me.

Standard Starbucks — a few times I’ve come in around 8:15/8:30 and they are already sold out of the Spinach and Feta Wrap(which is really the reason I go to Sbux, not the biggest fan of their brews!). Good service nonetheless.

Has a really cool upstairs loft that is quiet and comfortable. This Sbux is on a busy corner so people watching is fun. Only downside is parking can be difficult.

I regret having to write this, but I suffered a severe case of Food Poisoning from one the sandwiches I ate at the Retail location at 3401 Fremont Ave N, Seattle, WA98103. I used my «rewards» on Wednesday the 25th for the chicken bacon ranch sandwich and got«rewarded» with a severe case of food poisoning. Prior to this horrible experience, I hadn’t been sick for over 12 years! The last time I suffered food poisoning was at Red Robin about 20 years ago, and it took me 8 years to even attempt to go back there again. I now have the same perception of Starbucks and its lack of food safety handling. This needs to be brought to the attention of whomever is in charge of store operations. I will never order any food products from Starbucks again because of this horrible experience.

Friendly staff, clean floor and toilets with codes. There was also a sign to remind customer that they could ask the staff to heat up the packaged food from the fridge. This place also opens on Thu(it wasn’t mentioned on Unilocal

The place is nice. Neat enough inside, with a pretty big section upstairs where you can just escape for a bit. They close prety early though(8 on most days I believe).

I was bummed when the Peet’s in Fremont closed down. It was a great coffee shop which had a killer 2nd floor view of the main intersection in the neighborhood. Fast forward a year and this space has reopened and replace by none other than Starbucks. This replaces the old location that was located in the next building over. Starbucks has given the space a makeover. Outside seating seems much the same. But the first floor has been changed up a bit. It still has a very open look to it, though they now have a fridge case with Starbucks and Evolution Fresh products. As for the upstairs, they did a refresh of the furniture and added a counter seating area where the street side window is. The one change I didn’t like is they put locks on the bathrooms(which are upstairs) so you will have to ask for the passcode to use them. It seems burdensome if you are seated upstairs, forcing you to go downstairs to ask for it. Aside from that, I am glad that this space has reopened. It is a cornerstone space of the Fremont neighborhood that should be occupied.

There’s a new Starbucks in Fremont… and it’s pretty cool. This is where the old Peet’s Coffee once lived… and before Peet’s…I remember this location housing a fun little bar(does anyone remember the name of that bar?) This Fremont Starbucks location(3401) is so much better than the old Fremont Starbucks(a couple of doors down next to Blue C Sushi). There are two floors to this mammoth Starbucks, as well as outdoor seating. Good thinking, Starbucks, you picked a prime spot for this store. I thought that Peet’s never quite fit in at this spot… probably because their espresso machines were defective or in need of a tuneup… and people can only drink burnt coffee so long! I’m happy to report I tried a couple of my favorite Starbucks drinks here today and their machines are tuned and pumping out perfect espresso drinks.
