Standard Starbucks (not that anything is wrong with that).

This location is very slow, and they always sell out of pastries! I don't get it - I can see when you first open you might not be able to forecast correctly, but after a while, it seems like you would be able to predict. It's very frustrating.

Amazeballs. I just went in for my free birthday frap and was completely blown away by their customer service. I appreciate the extra time to explain the new drinks and the extras that I can add. It may cost a little more to order at a store but it's so worth that little treat. Thank you Starbucks for another great experience. My double Java Chip frap was the best!

I agree with one of the other posters that this Starbucks is almost always sold out of over half of their pastries no matter what time of day it is!

$$$Bucks is ubiquitous. They have proliferated to such an extend that sometimes it feels like you can walk into one location and exit at another. Now, it your are into time travel and spiritual wandering that can be a great thing. Starbucks as a portal or worm hole...Hmm... Anyway, it was right next door to the KFC where we had lunch and the convenience of a walk over to pick up a caffeine fix was too strong to resist. This is a mini 'Bucks and you know what you want before you go inside. It is appointed as the others, providing both a sameness and a comfort. I had a Pike's Roast with extra milk to offset the burnt flavor of the beans, and son went with a Decaf Vanilla Latte - the closest thing to a sweet dessert that I would allow. They were both what we expected. We returned to our road chariot, and pulled out onto Route 301, leaving a light rubber trail as our road warrior personas reasserted themselves.

This is my favorite Starbucks in southern Maryland. Nadia that works the drive through is wonderful. She's super friendly, very helpful, and always sweet.

Your typical Starbucks. The service was average. The drive through is a nice convenience of this one although there is only enough room for three cars and any more cars in line block the entire entrance into the parking lot. They claim to offer coffee grounds for the garden, but I have been in dozens of times and the can for the grounds is always empty.

Starbucks is starbucks.... however... at this one there is a weird phenomenon. First of all, the inside is almost always empty yet there are like 5 baristas behind the counter. Don't be fooled though, even though there are 5 baristas, it will still take them a while to make your drink. I'm always wondering what the heck they are doing?! Regardless, the staff is extremely nice and this place is always clean. I'll keep coming back!

I commute everyday from DC to Dahlgren, VA and on those times I forget my coffee (not often) or finish coffee early and need another (more likely), the Starbucks in La Plata is the place. It is convenient on the corner of 301 at the light with a drive thru and outdoor seating. I like the layout of this Starbucks as it invites you to get a cup of coffee and then enjoy at a table or the corner seating. I have used this location with WiFi to catch up on email while enjoying a cup of coffee (and a refill). Having stopped enough, I now recognize a number of the employees. I will say they are polite enough, but in the morning one feels as if the drive thru gets more attention than the inside counter, and vice-versa in the afternoon. I have enjoyed a breakfast sandwich or two, and recommend them for a morning hunger. I for one, am glad this business is located where it is and support it when I need a coffee or working java.

Traveling early in the morning through southern Maryland, it was painfully obvious to me that there was nowhere to eat breakfast on the go. I finally settled on a Starbucks and learned, as I proceeded through the drive-thru, that they do indeed serve breakfast. Really? Well, if the quality of their coffee was any indicator, I should have known better. I went with a ham, egg, and cheese sandwich which they go so far to describe as an "artisan roll". You can't put lipstick on a pig. This was just a square brick that tasted of salty, processed cheese. The only indication of egg or ham was the texture. It was filling, but not in any way desirable. My recommendation is to stick with the lackluster coffee.

You can get great coffee/drinks here or terrible ones. Really depends who is making your drink. It is rarely consistent - same with service. Some extremely nice, competent employees & others are extremely rude & suck as baristas. I seriously never know what to expect.
