Starbucks (Sleater Kinney)

700 Sleater Kinney Rd. S.E. Lacey (360) 491-8247
Wifi: tmobile (attwifi)

Coffee: Espresso Blend; Starbucks Roasters


Hannah: (6) I don't find myself enjoying this one quite as much... I feel overwhelmed with the sweetness, but otherwise the temperature and foam are consistent.

Isaiah: (7) Where Hannah's drink had too much flavor, I feel like my cup doesn't have enough. Every now and then we get a chai that just tastes watery for whatever reason. It's not a bad drink, just not as good as others.

Foam Art? No
Heat: 165, extra hot 170
Size Range: 12oz, 16oz, 20oz
Price: I-$5.26(16oz) H-$3.15(12oz)
For Here? yes
Environment: This Starbucks's interior has changed in the last year considerably, but it's a nice place. The layout reminds me of a European cafe with the bar centered and small bistro tables. But what Starbucks would ever be without some larger laptop friendly tables and a pair of lounge chairs? There are clean outdoor tables in the shade (not good for cold days). It's not a loud shop, but not relaxing either. It seems very business-like; "get to the point" kind of shop.

Baristas: Organized and efficient.
Music: I love it, Isaiah hates it. I think it's great coffee shop music and the perfect volume.
Seating: Too many scattered tables don't allow for a relaxed environment. I think they should
knock a few out and add some more lounge chairs. Good outlet availability.
Parking: Not bad at all.
Population: 10 at 1:45pm (Thursday)
Drive Through? No


Hannah: (5 1/2) The only thing that really wins my heart are their gracious free samples. I wouldn't come here to hang out and I wouldn't come by myself. Though this shop has efficiency, it's not relaxing. But their blueberry scones are very good! The coffee, not so impressive.

Isaiah: (5 1/2) All in all, not a bad coffee shop. The coffee was pretty regular and the environment doesn't seem in anyway as impressive as a lot of the other Starbucks around. But it's a lot better than some and at least the baristas are friendly and professional.
