This is just new in the old Starbucks space.

It has been remodeled. The air and feel inside is clean, open and welcoming,. The walls are an off-white which showcase nicely placed photographs. Go, touch and feel the granite counter.

A white Open sign in the window is clear and inviting. A small sandwich board  informs customers about the parking.

I stopped by  finally one Friday eve when they were closing. I have driven by many afternoons when they appear to be quite full.

Snacks and sandwiches are for sale. The sandwiches looked the most appealing to me.

Their coffee is the coffee which was the featured coffee at the Folklife Festival 2 years ago. I KNOW because I was a hospitality volunteer then and people raved about that particular type of coffe then!

I look forward to all which may come from a new warm coffee vendo rin my neighborhood.

Got an ad in the mail .. an offer to get 10% off my next 3 trips if I shopped here and started one of those scan we want all your personal info cards. Threw it away.

BUMMER!

Realized after the fact. I have a great new gym.. not far from there.

On my way home from another great workout my hungry workedout mind recalls my favorite dessert: Carrot Cake!  Where is my card and my 10% off offer??

dang the city and their regular recycling emptying...DANG DANG!!

I try to deal with it at 877-safeway.. there is a review on here about that.

However I am told that if I go in and start a card I get 10% off my starting purchase. Carrot cake calls.. mmmmmmm... I go. I watch the ring up. No 10% off. I question it. I end up in a bad conversation with manager.. you know the kind when you wish you were not there.. apparently I was misquoted on the phone!!  He figures out how to do something. .

The specials on food were excellent.. lower in some cases than QFC. Natural foods were accessible. The carrot cake was dry.

I will be back!!

I have no idea how I missed reviewing the Arboretum!
It is an oasis in Seattle. I lived across the street from her eone year. Daily walks and so much appreciation of beauty. Azaleas, rhodendrons..

I will provide one caveat.. the activities inthe Seattle Times Weekender ar enot always accurately listed. Followup with Arboretum staff about what was posted or expected, tho' it provides apologies does not rectify  or change that one might have arrived at the Arboretum for a tour or talk which didnt exist.

Go on your own. Expect quiet beauty, changing landscapes and well-tended plants and lawns.

    I love healthy food and juice! I love Jambe Juice! I love their juices. I love Whole Foods. I love shopping there. I loved it better when I had a better job. I would go to WF and then stop in here for a good juice.. life was perfect then..

    and now, I make less money. I don't go to WF as much. I love WF and Jamba Juice. A quick juice on my way to a speech. Thanks again. I will be back .. more speeches are on the horizon.

OK is it ok to say, " whay dixx heads?'

Reading a script to answer problems is not a way to help get customers.
I am so frustrated by the waste of time and completely illogical manner in which I was treated I can nto type it all out. It would look like thialcmkieyhru codufjkmjsdn for about 3 pages worth.
Suffice to say-- targetted marketing does not mean we want customers in our store!

I love coming here. I used their services often as a Math Specialist for Seattle Schools.
Just reading the reviews I am asurprised that someone is upset with their customer service. It is a small store adn can get pretty busy. At times You have to look around for yourself. No one can get  your curriculum for you! Although it was my job and it is the job of  many Math Coaches to have a lot of curriculum available tohelp teachers.

I still get materials for my young family members here when needed.

Another 'manager' can't come up  for air from bitching about  the shortfall on the budget and called me rude when I tried to stop his incessant ranitngI have heard about the budget problems every time I call. My life and time are important. I am sick of the excuses.
DO YOUR JOB instead of ranting about how hard it i s.

    WOW If you ever have to call these folks, you are in luck. I got personable, factual and helpful information. I chose to call because tho I wrote a funny  review about a 'zoo' in the yard of rats and other animals I have health concerns.

    They were very helpful with info regarding process and what to expect.

    Many thanks.#### UPDATE### Some communications did nto work out as they said. this resulted in NOT what I needed or wanted. It was not intentional- however the unintentionality of it does not erase the fact that my landlord knows I made a complaint- RATS for 3 months! DANG
