Starbucks - Philadelphia Premium Outlets

Philadelphia Premium Outlets
18 Lightcap Road
1039
Pottstown, PA 19464 US

My sister and I went to the outlet to return a pair of shoes that was two lefts, or two rights, either way we wanted a whole set. While there we got a chai tea and iced tea lemonade. The store was packed, but moving at a good clip. everything was pretty clean and well stocked, but the baristas were to the point, not a third place welcoming, but well done drinks with efficiency. There was outdoor seating.




A pretty and slightly futuristic Starbucks at a Maryland Rest Stop.

Starbucks is actually in the glass area not the red brick building to the right, despite the outdoor seating with green umbrellas.



Starbucks Glen Burnie Center

Glen Burnie #07330

This Starbucks is our friend Tommy's nearest Starbucks here he is known by name and drink. when staying over his house we stopped here on our way out, it's literally next to his apartment complex.

Since we've visited him a few times, we've had chai tea lattes here a few times. The store is clean, the condiment bar is always tidy and stocked, the partners are always happy and upbeat and ask you how your morning is going. They call the drinks and thank you when you pick them up. A very positive vibe here. I also like the flowers on the tables. There is outdoor seating.

I took this picture of a Starbucks in NYC

I am not sure where it was, or what building this was but it was such a neat looking building I had to get a picture!

The baristas were on the ball, fast, pleasant, happy, I'm not too surprised. One barista greeted me and asked my drink then marked the cup and handed it to a bar barista while someone rang on the register. They knew many of the customers names and drinks. Most customers were coming from the locked down elevator in the lobby right near the end of the "store" area.

There was a deck and plenty of other outdoor seating that I failed to get pictures of.

I got a tall soy chai latte.






Columbia Center Seattle Washington

At the suggestion of Starbucks melody I decided to visit the Columbia Center observation deck on the 73rd floor.

For $5 it was an amazing view!
















Columbia Tower 40th Floor - 701 5th Avenue 4020 Seattle, WA 98104

I got a tall soy chai latte here on my way down from the observatory deck. The baristas were genuinely pleasant and happy and asked me how my day was. It was a short but lovely visit with a great view!
