The most charismatic Starbucks in DC area. It is a bit on a crowded in-and-out end of things, but still great place to visit for a warm up / cool off break.

Try the veal. If they try to tell you they don't serve veal, keep insisting on it until they give in. It's fantastic.

If you are looking for a place to camp out and get work done try the Starbucks on Pendleton. Outlets are at a premium here.

Order ahead of the 8am rush if possible. The cost of doing something well is popularity.

Gets super busy on the weekends, especially nice days but the staff is fantastic and quick!

You can log on to AT&T Wi-Fi at this Starbucks. It’s free, and they also offer great local content on their Starbucks Digital Network

Not the fastest. Fun to see how they butcher your name on your cup!

This Starbucks location used to be The Seaport Inn, est. 1765. Wonder if this is the oldest venue of all the Starbucks stores.

Tiny interior, tiny tables (other than one big square one in the right corner)

Friendlier, faster, better. Get to know the staff and they'll get to know your drinks!

If you have the choice between this Starbucks and another nearby, come here for the great service!

If all you want is a regular coffee, go across the street to Firehook Bakery. Better, cheaper, faster...

Great staff here. Look at the photo near the restrooms to see what Hurricane Isabel did to this Starbucks years ago.

On a cold day they've got a fireplace to warm you up. But there's only one table next to it!

Visually appealing aesthetic, generally good service - not your average starbucks, definitely worth a look!

Treat Receipt: get your receipt stamped, bring it back in after 2pm and get any grande cold drink for $2.

Ask Jules (epic beard dude) if he'll sketch something on your receipt!

I didn't care for the lady that took care of us. Seemed like she just wanted us out of there. Not very friendly.

Don't expect to find a seat here if it's busy. Only has 4 or 5 tables.

Why won't they take your name and write it on the cup?!? When 1 out of 5 people order the same thing and there's a line of 20 waiting?!

Nothing like a hot cup of Starbucks in the morning. Wait is Starbucks going to replace coffee like Kleenex replaced Tissue?

Great place to pee at night so you don't have to hear the crappy opera singer across the street
