Starbucks

Okay so you can see by my check-​ins that this Starbucks has become almost part of my daily routine en route to work early morning; particularly when it’s cold!
It’s a lovely spacious Starbucks with room for working — I often see people having informal meetings, working on laptops or even skyping in here! I’ve never seen it over crowded or without a seat early in the morning and no matter what drink I order, it’s always ready within 5mins irrespective of queue. There’s not often a queue before 7:30 at least.
The baristas are nice and friendly and have impressed me by remembering my name. My New Years Resolution might be to cut back on the Starbucks! ;)

—Crowd: Moderately Crowded but not packed with travelers off the metro and mostly businessmen/​women.
—Wait in Line: Yes, 10 people long, but not very long, adequate staff kept things flowing
—Atmosphere: Dim, Calm, Cool and Comfortable
—Seating Availability: Decent
—Wifi: Not Attempted, I don’t know
—Restroom: Not apparent and not used
Basically it’s like all Starbucks, so like the saying goes, if you’ve been in one, you been in most. This one has the same basic snacks, drinks and breakfast items. It’s right next to the metro. I would give you a better review but I ordered coffee, spent 15 minutes and left at a chain I always go to where all look almost and do the same!

I may have caught this place on a bad day because the cashier was not friendly and seemed slightly impatient. But the woman making the drinks and the man who was also behind the counter and picking up the dishes were both very nice. I appreciated him asking if everything was okay when he picked up our dishes.
Cinnamon swirl bun was incredibly tasty and not too dry like I find in some places. My husband had the ham and cheese croissant which was also very good since it was gone in about two seconds! After we got in line, the line behind us got about 5 people deep with only one register. I wonder if this is normal?
Great space with tall long tables, smaller tables, couches and such. Obviously this is an excellent location as well… but really, that’s not too shocking. They are Starbucks after all!

Le service est rapide et efficace. Les employés sont sympa! L’un d’eux parlait quelques mots de français, cela fait toujours son petit effet ;).

The used to be one of my weekly stops while going to my work in Amstelveen. But now I don’t work there anymore and I will probably never go to this Starbucks location anymore. That feels so weird! Haha. Well this Starbucks has a great location, a lot of people go to this station but still it is never to crowded and the line is never very long. There are enough spots to sit and the people are always very friendly. Starbucks is great if you want something sweet, like how you feel when you want hot chocolate. (not particular coffee, since it is hard to taste coffee in most of their drinks haha en the real coffee is not that great). I love the pumpkin spice latte, which is in season while I’m writing this yay! The caramel macchiato is also really nice.

A perfectly-​located Starbucks that entices you to sit and enjoy a latte before entering the hussel and bussel of the train station. The staff are especially friendly and the ambiance bright and airy.
