A native Seattleite I was around before Starbucks and have enjoyed watching their business journey from 1971 froward. Have had many opportunities to visit Starbucks cafes across the US. For the most part their trained consistency comes thru on my speciality drink so I tend to look for something a little "above and beyond" to merit an excellent review. This Georgetown location was easily accessible, clean and our drinks were made as expected in a timely fashion. As I sat observing guests and store partners, I noticed one employee making the rounds to wipe tables, re-stock condiments, etc. While doing this she took the time to stop at each table, personally welcome guests and inquire how their beverage/food was. Is it what they expected, did it taste good, etc. Those she knew she addressed by name. When she learned we were from out-of state she spent a few more minutes describing some of the changes at their store. I've encountered this at restaurants before but this was a first at Starbucks. I've learned it's as much about the service one receives as the product that makes a business successful.
