Starbucks

Very good Starbucks connected to Grand Hyatt hotel (and across the street from Hotel Theodore). Coffee and customer service is usually good and generally not as crowded as the Starbucks at 5th and Pike. Lots of people staying at the hotel and convention goers come here (watch your stuff- I was there the other day and it appeared a customer had something stolen (the police were there talking to her), while this Starbucks does not get as many homeless as the store at 5th and Pike homeless people do come here on occasion (i saw one homeless person get evicted and another steal a sandwich and leave the store). There is no bathroom inside the store - you have to get a key card in the hotel lobby.

This place is probably one of the few Starbucks that doesn’t have loads of homeless people around in downtown seattle. The staffs are great, always welcoming, and the atmosphere is relatively above average considering it’s downtown seattle. There are occasionally a few homeless people on the street around but in general this place is clean, plenty seating, and very comfortable and safe around.

I never go to Starbucks but I wanted something for breakfast really quick and it is right across the street from the hotel I am staying at. The lady who took my order was nice. I ordered a iced matcha latte and a plain bagel with cream cheese. The latte was pretty good not super sweet and the bagel was toasted and tasty, can't really go wrong with that.

The dudes, Rickie and Reighn (might have spelt that last one wrong), have been supreme employees. These guys have been extremely thoughtful and quick to assist (even when not asked). Promise them, Starbucks. Sorry, they are in a lesser job than they deserve. They should NOT be baristas, they both should make their own store with how much mental activity and thought they give to everything and everyone.
