    Dude with the bow tie and rose tattoo is maybe the best Starbucks employee I have ever had the pleasure meeting. He's practically Japanese the way he respects customer service.

    Put $$ on one of their gift cards and register it online. Use it as cash especially if you frequent Starbucks. You get tons of discounts, free refills too! Wish I had done it sooner.

    Great staff! Huge location for a Starbucks inside a mall. Lots of places to sit and several outlets. I just wish that it was closer to the center of the mall, it's in a weird back corner.

    While not the best coffee in the mall (Try the Nordstroms coffee bar on the other side of the Mall) it does have the best seating area with lots of outlets.

    Use the mobile app - you can skip the line and pick up your order on the way through. Plus you earn star towards you can use towards free drinks.

    Use the Starbucks app and skip the long lines. I did have to up to remind them about my bakery requests.

    Beware of the highschoolers that congregate and intimidate and our fight each other in the corner. Sigh.

    Great location and great staff. Line tends to be long but this is a very popular location, it is not for lack of hard work on the staff.
