The new manager, Dan, has done a great job getting this place in shape. The morning crew is much improved over what it was a couple months ago. Much more pleasant experience now.
I LOVE this Starbucks, I think it's the fastest and best in DC. The line may look long, but they move you through lightning fast and they have never messed up an order for me. The baristas rock!
Pros: The long AM line usually moves pretty fast. Few tourists. Fun baristas. Cons: you need to know what you want. The register is no place for decision making with so many ppl waiting behind you.- I'm a regular. As a regular, its best to know what you like to order ahead. Like a nonfat mocha and multi grain bagel.
~Eric~ PetersonApril 23, 2016If you order anything during morning hours that requires them to turn around and use the blender … add ten minutes to your order.
BY FAR the best Starbucks in the L'Enfant area. The staff is lovely and the (often long) line moves quickly.
Terri TravelerFebruary 27, 2011I have never had starbucks coffee, but enjoy their over-priced pastries :) reading these 'tips' some of you come across as spoiled yuppies, no offense. It's just coffee folks!- Cashier needs to spend more time listening to the customer he's ringing up and less chatting with coworkers and others in line. It's incredibly frustrating to have to repeat yourself multiple times.
- There are two Starbucks in the area very close to each other. This one (inside the Gallery building) has longer lines. If you don't have the time pop outside building to other Starbucks for short line
Russ PtacekOctober 29, 2013Inspectors closed Starbucks at 600 Maryland Avenue, SW citing not staffing anyone certified in food safety. It passed reinspection and reopened.
Jen DavisOctober 7, 2010Barista spent his time talking to costumer about his favorite Via flavor while a massive line formed behind us. So inefficient. And my pumpkin spice latte was cold.- Ask for a marble mocha macchiato, or when fall/winter comes along, get a vanilla pumpkin spice latte
Leanna D.July 12, 2013So fast! They'll have a huge line and I still get out with my drink in no time.
- Turn the music down! The staff can't hear your order over the super loud house music.
Much more pleasant these days, still working on getting orders correct.
Management change again-not a good thing. Slower than ever. Bring your patience.
David MillerNovember 30, 2011Convenient to VRE but the location on C St SW near Holiday Inn is much better.
Slowest Starbucks on the planet. Don't go if you're in a rush.
Richie HowellAugust 28, 2010The worst Starbucks I've ever been to... They totally screwed up my order

"There spinach and feta croissant is a great way to start the morning! Ask to have it heated!"

"The Introduction to Digital Photography is such a great course. I am in love with, since my very first class. Ron Aira is an amazing teacher and photographer. I wish we had more than 10 classes."

"Since you pay by the pound, make sure to get less chicken with bones, and more of the usually expensive meats, like lamb and beef. Great sauces."
