Three gold stars for the Starbucks coffee stand in the QFC on Pike and Broadway!
I decided to grab some coffee after some grocery shopping, and was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency, quality of drinks and cleanliness of the employees.
I ordered a vanilla latte from one of the two impeccably-groomed female barista's on duty, and the other had the drink completed before I even finished paying.
The latte was delicious: The foam was thick and velvety, it had the perfect amount of vanilla (not too sweet), and the espresso didn't taste burned or bitter.
As I was walking out, I heard the girls giving directions to a lost and frazzled Seattle tourist. Kudos to them for a job VERY well done! (Bummer that because the girls are actualyl employees of QFC, Icouldnt give them a tip, otherwise I would have--a big one.)
I will definitely be returning.
