This is THE original Starbucks in Pike Place. The first time we walked by the store, the line was ridiculously long. It was a nice weekend afternoon, so it was filled with tourists. So, we went back during the weekday, and the line was still long but not as long as the weekend line. There was a very friendly staff at the door, letting few people in at a time, as few people leaves the store. Very good way to keep the store from overcrowding.

The staff also handed out souvenir menu to the first few customers in line outside, so that we can see what they sell beforehand. With that, you can order your drink with the souvenir, and the barista inside will get the merchandise for you. Once you enter the store, there is a short line in the inside. Once the barista becomes available, he/she will raise his/her hand and you move up. Order, get your stuff, wait for your stuff, and done.

We also decided to get the mugs that are also only available at this location. We got the one with their original logo, and the one with Pike Place design on it.

I am glad I got to see the original Starbucks, it was pretty cool. We got a latte with Pike Place blend, which was really nice!
