Reviews for Starbucks in Arlington, VA
I went to Starbucks to try a drink I saw on Instagram. When I entered it looked like a school classroom because all around were... people on their computers. Made me want to go home and get my computer. Then I remembered I lived too far and that was not anoption. Any hoo. I approached the counter and a nice young lady asked me if she could help me. I had my screenshot of theorder from Instagram in hand. I asked for an Iced Spiced Apple, with extra Caramel Drizzle and Salted Foam. It was beautifuland delicious. The more I drank and twirled my cup the more delicious it became. It tasted like Fall in a cup. When I got tothe bottom it tasted like apple pie a la mode. I would definitely order this again. I recommend this location. The staff wasfriendly. They had seating inside and out. And most importantly the drinks are tasty. Oh I forgot I got a slice of lemon cakewith icing on it. Pure delicious sinfulness. Read more
I understand prices are high these days. $6.50 for a grande latte with oatmilk. They only gave me a cup that was 3/4 full. And... the drink tasted like hot water and tasted more like a plain latte instead of the flavored latte I ordered. Read more
Never had service that was so slow. We waited for more than 20 minutes for a simple order. Now I know the way there weren't that... many people here. I hope they improve their service Read more
Not the worst, but I will second what others have said. Prior to the renovation at this location, staff was super friendly and... everything ran smoothly. There was one person: Justin?? James? I think Justin, who was just the best and so friendly. The typeof person who remembered your name and asked how things were going. I?m not sure if he relocated, but when the renovations werecomplete, he seemed to have left, which is so sad (unless I come in too late now). The inside is nice, but losing good stafflike Justin really made a bad impact. Things are running slower, not as friendly, which is too bad because it?s a greatlocation. Read more
Staff are friendly and our orders were made pretty fast even though it was busy?ish. The shop itself was very clean and tidy.
Typical Starbucks coffee, sandwiches and pastries. Can sometimes take a bit longer to get your barista made drink but overall... not to bad. Staff has turned over a lot but that isn?t a big surprise. Read more
I went to order a caramel latte. The cashier was responsive and friendly. She tried to listen as best she could as I am hard of... hearing. I will definitely go again someday. Read more
This location is great if you order a drink the way they want to make it. I have to ask for whipped cream on drinks that should... already come with it (mocha and pumpkin spice) and when I asked for stirred (which is also standard for mocha), my request wasclearly ignored. The pumpkin cream cold brew barely had any foam on it every time I ordered it (at least 3, at some point I gaveup and ordered the PSL). The service is just disappointing and seems to have a "we're starbucks, you're welcome" vibe instead of"welcome to starbucks." Convenient location, but I would go somewhere else if it fits well in your route. Read more
