I frequent Starbucks... A LOT! This location is in the same shopping center as the Veterinary Hospital I manage so I tend to go here multiple times a week... This is BY FAR my favorite location I've gone to. The staff is super friendly and they always remember what I order. This location feels like a local coffee shop vs a chain because there seems to be regulars who the staff always remembers and talks to! They also have a book you can write notes to the baristas (They're all fantastic!) It just feels more personal than most starbucks stores I have been in. They now have the order from the app feature and I tried it for the first time today.. what would you know, I was met at the door with my order when they saw me coming! I cannot say enough good things about this place and the baristas!!!

I really like this Starbucks. It has outdoor seating, the indoor looks very old fashioned and cozy, the place is warm and inviting and the baristas know what they are doing. I like sitting on their big sofas sometimes, but then I also like getting their side tables near a wall charging point so I can some work done. I have spent a lot of hours working here, while munching on my fav tomato cheese square (which they never run out of) and sipping on my fav hot or cold beverage. They will take my uber complicated orders in their stride and make sure I like what I get. What I also like it they have a little compliments book near the bar area so you can put in suggestions and comments. All the latest entries were full of holiday joy, it was awesome! :) I do feel that a lot of parents with kids seem to visit this place. Kids are cute, but then depending on my mood (and if I am trying to get work done), that can be borderline annoying, haha :) So overall, great Starbucks to hang out, get a drink and chill or get some serious work done!

What a breath of fresh air. This Starbucks is quiet, service is great and it's spacious than some of the other nearby locations.

This is my go to Starbucks on the way to work. Clean, friendly..no complaints really. I often walk to here on the weekends and enjoy the outdoor seating. My go to drink is a soy misto :)

My yoga studio is across the parking lot and this is a gret place to go after a workout. The staff are outstanding, regardless of the time of day. They don't rush you while you place your order, they are friendly and they are FAST! One woman in particular, Aria, is a gem. She is the sweetest, most thoughtful person and takes a genuine interest in each client for the short time that she interacts with them. She is a GEM! I actually ran into her at the Potomac Starbucks today and we had a really nice chat while we waited for our drinks. This place gets an A+ as far as I am concerned.

I found this Starbucks last year and it is my preferred Starbucks to stop at in the Gaithersburg area for my morning coffee or for a iced tea and sandwich at lunch, even if it is out of my way. There is one barista in particular - my all time favorite - that makes the best soy mocha I've ever had. Always brightens my day knowing I'm going to get a friendly smile, greeting, and an awesome coffee.

I feel compelled to write this considering one of the two previous 'bloggers' before me. I live less than a mile from here and this is my first choice for coffee in the area. EVERY time I go here the ppl are down right friendly and incredibly helpful. There is one employee in particular...he is flat out...AWESOME!!! He remembers customers after one time and knows how to make someone feel welcome. If anything, I come back because of him. Just wish I knew his name, so I could give him credit where credit is deserved. Customer service is top notch. Out of the 568 starbucks in the 3 mile radius, I'll go with this one. These guys know what it takes to run a successful starbucks. I'll be visiting again...very shortly

The people who work here have bad attitudes. I always seem to get a register person who is grumpy, too good for the job, tired, or just doesn't understand what I am saying. I've also received some terrible drinks. If I am going to pay $5+ for a drink, I want it to be good...or even great. The past few times I have gone in here, they were out of coffee and I had to wait for it to brew. Having worked for the company years ago, for 3 years, I am quite a Starbucks snob. BUT, there is no excuse for barista's who are just generally mean. Get over yourselves. The only thing I like about this Starbucks is their Patio....though its usually littered with kids, if I drive by and see it empty and the weather is nice, I'll sit out there with my laptop.

This is always the last stop I make before heading back from my in-laws' place in Potomac back to good ole' Cleveland, because there are pretty much no easily accessible Starbucks between DC and Pittsburgh (I don't take the PA Turnpike though.) It's a pretty good Starbucks--for whatever reason, I tend to wind up getting extra shots of espresso here for free. This is a nice surprise considering that Starbucks typically does its absolute best to avoid giving anything away for free or providing any type of discount. Also, the drinks also tend to be strong even without extra espresso. This is gross, but for a long time, the men's bathroom at this place was ALWAYS locked no matter how long I waited. I don't know why, considering I waited as long as Penelope waited for Odysseus for someone to leave the bathroom so that I could use the bathroom designed for the male gender. Unfortunately, this never happened, and I would have to sneak clandestinely into the female restroom in order to do my business before hittin' the road. So, if you're a male, you might wanna hit up the lavatory at your domicile before coming here!
