Starbucks in Washington, D.C.



PLEASE NOTE
The stores pictured below are labeled with information that comes directly from the official Starbucks web site. The only alterations I have made are to remove certain punctuation marks. Please do not report any errors in the names or spellings of streets or cities to me, but rather to Starbucks. Once they fix the error on their end, my database will pick it up. I will fill missing photograph dates as I have time, and I will continue to try and obtain store opening dates.

If this store manages to overcome the city's objections and install outdoor seating, customers will have a good view of the White House.

Aaaw yeeeeah! Besides the absolutely lovely architecture of the building Starbucks selected for this location, this store is truly charming. Downstairs the seating in that circular thing at the front of the store (WHAT is it called) looks mighty cozy. And the store has an upstairs, where the serious students hide with their textbooks.

A display on the wall shows a montage of photographs of examples of Starbucks serving the local community.


22nd & K Street, Washington

OPENED: ?, PHOTO: 07 September 2004

Upon entering this store, follow the brick-colored brick road down to the main floor and the registers, but take care not to be thrown off track by the mirrored columns scattered throughout the structure.

Brick interior gives this newer store a bit of atmosphere, and the patio has obviously become popular fairly quickly.

This is the only store in the country with an exterior sign in another language--according to a barista, it reads "Gourmet Coffee", but I'm also told it translates into "Starbucks Coffee" (xing-ba-ke ka-fei, a transliteration of the two words).

I'm told Capital Gallery is a government building, which would make this the first such Starbucks in DC. Regardless, the metal sign is pretty cool.

It seems appropriate that this store should have been built in the former Kenny Coffee Co. dating back to the turn of the century.

This neat little store, with its lovely façade and interior brick wall for additional atmosphere, has a partnership with the zoo. They have adopted an ape, and display photos of interesting animals on the wall. And I'm not sure what this means, but I jotted down a note--"Lori not a blonde".

Union Station, DC, Washington

OPENED: ?, PHOTO: 28 August 2008, ORIGINAL VISIT: 30 October 2004



Jeez, I really wish Starbucks would close this store. It's really difficult to get the ideal photograph because the Amtrak Police booth is right in front, and I fear that as long as the store is there, I will be compelled to try. This of course puts me at risk, because Washington, DC, perhaps more so than the rest of the country, is a place devoid of human rights, and every visit to Union Station puts me at risk of ending up in Guantanamo Bay.

This store is dedicated to Michelle Marcoccia.

The list below is not meant to be a complete list of licensed stores. Some licensed stores are not listed on the Starbucks web site, and some of the stores listed below might have closed.
