01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Located conveniently at 16600 SE McGillivray Blvd in Vancouver, WA, this Starbucks branch is much more than your typical coffee stop—it’s a vibrant espresso bar and cafe where quality and genuine customer care come together to create an exceptional coffee experience. Whether you're seeking a smooth espresso shot, a creamy latte, or a refreshing cold brew, this Starbucks consistently delivers with precision and warmth.

What truly sets this location apart is the dedication of its staff, especially the notable baristas Jazz and Aliyah. Regular customer John Cena praises Jazz for going the extra mile to craft the best coffee, illustrating a passion that transforms each cup into a personal delight. Aliyah receives heartfelt accolades from multiple patrons—her ability to perfectly tailor drinks, remember orders, and extend kindness makes her a favorite among locals. Todd H., who works just across the street, highlights Aliyah’s enthusiastic and respectful service, pointing out how she brings a proud professionalism that lifts the entire atmosphere.

Walking into this Starbucks, you'll immediately sense the friendly buzz of a crew that values connection as much as quality. Sky Rausch recounts how Aliyah expertly crafted a not-too-sweet cold brew frappuccino on a busy Tuesday morning, an experience that exemplifies the consistency and care that can sometimes be elusive in larger chains.

This Starbucks location doesn’t just serve coffee; it serves community. Daniel Fehrer sums it up perfectly by calling Aliyah a “true barista,” with the best lattes he's ever had at Starbucks, which speaks volumes about the skill and attention given to each cup. The atmosphere here is approachable yet carefully curated—ideal for a quick caffeine fix, a casual meeting spot, or a comfortable corner to enjoy a break during your busy day.

Great crew here. My office is directly across the street, so I come here regularly. Everyone at this location is nice. Aliyah is super nice!! She's definitely my favorite barista. She always remembers my drink. She's nice to all the customer's (both men and women) and she displays so much pride and enthusiasm.

Awesome, she made it perfect. Came in the morning on a Tuesday, about 11:30am. Asked for a not very sweet, cold brew frapiccino. Very happy, most other Starbucks locations will either mess this up, or not make it at all. She made it really well.

The entire crew at the Starbucks in Fred Myers are fantastic, but Aliyah is a true barista! Her lattes are the best I’ve had at a Starbucks! Love the crew here!
