I enjoy this Starbucks and get coffee to go regularly, but when I stayed and tried to get some work done on my laptop there the music was so loud I couldn't hear myself think and struggled to get anything done. I had to step outside to take a phone call so I could actually hear the other person. I would like more of a relaxed atmosphere at a coffee shop than a party atmosphere. Otherwise, this Starbucks has been great.

This is a quick Starbucks with friendly staff and a nice location. I see a few people using wifi doing various online activities and the place is clean.

During my childhood in the Seattle suburbs, I would make regular trips, approximately twice a month, to the Pike Place Market. It was always an exciting adventure, exploring the various stalls and browsing through comic books and magic stores. And of course, no trip was complete without a visit to the one and only Starbucks in the world at that time, where I would grab my much-needed coffee fix and indulge in some delicious hom bow from Mee Sum Pasty or other delightful treats nearby. It's fascinating how that single store has grown into a massive coffee empire over the decades. However, now I find myself putting an end to my daily pilgrimage for my favorite caffeinated beverages, at least when it comes to this particular location - 3424 Pacific Ave, Forest Grove, OR 97116. The staff there, while skilled at whipping up an impressive array of drinks, seem rather unenthusiastic about taking the time to create anything beyond the quickest options available. Initially, I thought this was an attempt to keep the drive-through and dine-in lines moving swiftly, but it resulted in me receiving drinks that were far from what I had ordered. Perhaps the staff's mindset is to swiftly usher one customer out the door, regardless of whether their order is accurate or not, so they can move on to the next person. It seems that the focus is more on the quantity of beverages produced rather than the quality and precision of each order. This is evident by the countless patrons in the drive-through or those who pre-order online, who manage to receive their drinks, place them in their cup holders, and speed off without a second thought. Unfortunately, by the time they take their first sip, they're already miles away from 3424 Pacific Ave and would find it too inconvenient to turn back and have their order corrected. If these mix-ups were occasional, I could understand that mistakes happen. However, it has now reached a point where incorrect beverages are nearly as frequent as the correct ones, if not more so. It's not quite a 50/50 ratio yet, but it's heading in that direction. I can't help but wonder if the staff's focus is solely on increasing their numbers. Perhaps they are inadequately trained or find it challenging to remember all the ingredients. In some instances, they might even find humor in giving a customer decaf or, in the worst-case scenario, deliberately sabotaging the beverages. It's disappointing to witness this decline in quality and accuracy in a place that has become synonymous with coffee culture. As a long-time patron, I had hoped for consistency and reliability in my daily coffee routine. However, it seems I may have to explore other options and bid farewell to my regular visits to this particular Starbucks location.

This location is awesome. I come here almost every other day. They know me by name and are always all smiles. Some of the baristas like Taylor, Evi, Olivia and Ayden, I know I am forgetting someone name..but they have my order memorized. I always look forward to my Starbucks run. Brightens my day.

Great place with friendly people. Love their coffee and pastries. It's always easy to order and I rarely have issues. Will continue stopping here for that delicious coffee drink.

Stopped in for a coffee and was met by friendly and professional baristas who prepared and excellent latte. The atmosphere was great. Enjoyed the time spent.

Love this Starbucks. Go there every morning after dropping my grandson off at school. Well stocked lovely employees and a beautiful location.

Friendly staff. Clean, good beverages. Not a good environment for having a chat with a friend over coffee tho. Acoustic are bad in that sense

My favorite Starbucks. Lots of space inside, some tables around the corner from the baristas if you want something quieter. Also has a fairly large space outside with tables and umbrellas. No noise from the main road on the other side of the building.

This is definitely one of the better Starbucks. They are all different depending on the customer service.

Friendly staff for my visit. Fast and the guy that took my order had good recommendations. He was excited to tell me what to try when I asked. Today's experience was I had to go inside to try to be quicker cause the line was so long. I was a little bummed my drink didn't taste very good and I think it's cause it was so busy it was rushed.

Hogan and Burnside SB is always fast, friendly and always gets my order correct! The new outside mural on the building is spectacular!

Some very unfriendly employees. Like they don’t want you to be there. Namely Olivia.

Ordered the bacon, gouda, and egg sandwich right at 5 o clock. Good sandwich for a small wake up
