Always fast in the drive thru line and great customer service. Clean as usual for Starbucks, and well stocked, clean bathrooms. Not a ton of sitting room in here but it's plenty during a non-rush time.

Stop going here. Nothing else is needed in this review. Unless of course, you just NEED that "Carmel Machiatto"

Since this is the closest coffee shop to my house I often walk there with my kids to get out of the house briefly. The staff is always friendly and efficient, and rarely gets an order wrong. The seating area is always clean and inviting, and there is comfortable outside seating in the summer. The only real problem is I'm not a huge fan of Starbucks coffee, it always tastes a little burnt to me, and the insane amount of flavored lattes, mochas, and "fraps" is a bit off putting. This location is nice though, and as long as I live, nearby I'll probably continue coming here.

It's a Starbucks. It's like every other Starbucks in terms of what you get. Quite a line at the drive-thru here in the mornings. But the staff are quick and efficient and the line moves quickly. So never fear, you can get your over-priced coffee drink here without too much of a wait.

This place turned me into a Starbucks lover today. Grande peppermint white chocolate mocha. Friendly employees. Clean facility. Free internet. What more could a guy ask for? I even downloaded the app and gonna get crackin on my Rewards!

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. The drive-thru can get backed up at peak hours but they do a great job moving through it as fast as possible. The inside has comfy chairs that make you want to just fall right into them with a cup of coffee and a good book. This is a great place to get some work done as it is quiet and just an all around feel-good place. I really enjoy this location as it is convenient for my drive into the office. Would definitely stop in if you are in the area.

I generally have been happy with this Starbucks. HOWEVER They allow their employees to violate the no smoking next to an entry door. So when you use the drive thru you see them and if you have your air on the smoke comes into your car! Total appetite killer! But you can't always back out of the drive drive thru.

I went to the starbucks and found the drive thru attendee rude. My friend even fell out of the car because the service lacked that much feeling .

Nice place, just a normal Starbucks. The expresso drinks are good but the coffee is horrible it tastes like it has been sitting there for weeks. Instead of coffee, next time I would get an Americano.

The only 'Bucks worth going to in Anchorage. This place has a warm and cozy feel, due mainly to the cushy chairs and fireplace. Yep, this place has a fireplace for crying out loud. Nice. Lastly, the coffee shop looks like its own building, despite being on the end of a chain of stores. Like I said, the only 'Bucks really worth getting excited about in Anchorage.

One of the few Starbucks in Anchorage (or Alaska for that matter), this one is my "neighborhood" store when i'm in town. The staff are generally attentive and polite, but I never get the feeling that they do anything to really win me over, "go the extra mile" if you read me. There is a small amount of seating inside, which is usually packed with neighborhood people meeting, informal business meetings and people studying by the fire. Although I've never used it, the drive-through seems to be a popular attraction to this mid-town caffeine shack. As a former long-time Starbucks employee (and Coffee Master I might add!), I find that I can be a little more critical about what makes a good Starbucks store, so take my review with a grain of salt. Adam's final thoughts: I find this place to be a solid 3 stars. Good neighborhood spot to get your coffee, probably with a smile, and relax by the fireplace.

Went to this location every morning for two weeks at 7:30 am, every time it was under staffed. Drive thru and inside had a line, with just a few workers, staff was nice, just need more workers during peak hours.

Was good fast and friendly. I wish one or all the Starbucks would get a clover up here. I had some in OR and Cal its amazing for black coffee drinkers!

Good coffee but SLOW SERVICE! Waited almost twenty minutes for my latte, not sure why... There were five employees behind the counter, but only one was making beverages. The other four were laughing, joking and carrying on conversations with one another. It was strange and bewildering, as the patrons looked at one another and wondered why the service was so poor.

I was staying at the Hilton Garden Inn right next door, up from Seattle working in our Anchorage office for a week. This is where I got my morning jump start. I've said this many times, you always know what you're getting at Starbucks, consistency. What usually sets individual Starbucks apart is the staff and the food/pastries. The staff here working the registers was friendly, the baristas all business. I had a scone here and it was pretty bad. I never had another pastry here again. Starbucks, it's the devil I know.

This is your typical Starbucks, but for a Starbucks, it's one of the best I've been to. What makes this particular location stand out is that not only do they never get my drink wrong, they make it very well and very consistantly. And they do it with a smile. I'm usually here during the early morning rush as all the worker bees hurry to load up on caffeine before their work day begins. This Starbucks manages to effienciently handle a high-level of walk in traffic and drive-through traffic in a reasonable amount of time during the morning rush, too. Good, consistent coffee in a short amount of time and it's on my route to work. Can't get much better than that!
