Starbucks 609 West Peace Street, Raleigh, NC 27605

"Very kind staff and quick service. Love non drive thru Starbucks."

"I drive to the location before a trip out of town only to see a hand written sign we are not open ,,,"

"Thank you to this Starbucks. My children were fed well here from a super tempting selection. Yeah and Hip Hop Hooray for having a nondairy milk offering which matched my son's needs. This Starbucks hosted families from Raleigh's marathon on Nov. 5, 23. Everyone I noticed was well cared for."

"Most of the staff here are exceptional when it comes to customer service. When it’s super busy, I’d hate to be in their shoes; then they’re like a well-oiled but frantic machine where handoffs are carefully orchestrated, and harried and impatient customers impatiently waiting for their drinks. This is a far cry from Howard Schultz’s (founder) original vision of quaint, neighborhood style espresso bars like you find all over Italy. Of course, in Italy they don’t have our insanely long and grueling work schedules. Unfortunately, Starbucks has gotten insanely expensive. Maybe it’s because of constrained supply chains created by the pandemic, coupled with staff shortages, but the pricing has put a damper on visiting any Starbucks. This place is great, though. I think it’s also their most profitable store in the Raleigh area, but that info could be dated. Parking is a bit of a challenge at time, in part also because when people visit Glenwood South they use the Starbucks parking lot at public parking; kind of annoying. And merging back into traffic onto busy peace street sometimes also causes bottlenecks. However, good store with great employees."
