Sorry, folks: The First Starbucks is nowhere near first on the list. Image: David Nitzsche

The rules of the game: only Starbucks inside city limits; grocery store locations don’t count.

1. Madison Park

Frequent spottings of Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz; you best believe baristas bring their A game in the boss’s neighborhood store. 4000 E Madison St, Madison Park, 206-329-3736

2. Ballard Drive-Thru

Reused shipping containers, local art, and lots of signage explaining the greater Starbucksian meaning of it all. 5221 15th Ave NW, Ballard, 206-783-0322

3. Seventh and Pike

Impossible to hate on baristas who celebrate their proximity to the convention center by donning capes for Emerald City Comicon and making special Kong Frappuccinos for PAX. 1524 Seventh Ave, Downtown, 206-264-8921

4. 23rd and Jackson

Aggressive wooing by Central District organizers in the late ’90s produced a Starbucks that serves as a legit community gathering place (and this location donates a portion of each sale to the YWCA). 2300 S Jackson St, Central District, 206-726-0502

5. Columbia Tower 40th Floor

Same coffee as anywhere else, but with an amazing view. 701 Fifth Ave, Downtown, 206-264-0152

Hidden from the street: a tiny counter surrounded by vaguely midcentury upholstered chairs and the best respite ever from the retail madness outside. 1501 Fourth Ave, Downtown, 206-625-1255

7. Roy Street Coffee and Tea

A Starbucks that hasn’t come out yet. 700 Broadway E, Capitol Hill, 206-325-2211

A Starbucks that came out a long time ago. 1600 E Olive Way, Capitol Hill, 206-568-5185

Old-timey charm via a century-old former bank building, plus outlets for days. 824 E Pike St, Capitol Hill, 206-329-5147

Which Sea-Tac Starbucks is the fastest? Literally any one that isn’t the main terminal location. A, B, C, and N Gates, Sea-Tac

Fewer flies and shorter lines than over at the main U Village location. 2650 NE 49th St, University Village, 206-522-6410

Worship at the temple of the mermaid…or at least in the lobby of Starbucks corporate headquarters. 2401 Utah Ave S, Fl 1, SoDo, 206-624-9496

21. 15th Ave E

Artsy decor left over from its days as faux indie coffeehouse 15th Ave Coffee and Tea. 328 15th Ave E, Capitol Hill, 206-323-1568

22. Leschi

Scenic views of both the Lake Washington and bike short variety. 121 Lakeside Ave, Leschi, 206-720-4803

Surprisingly mellow considering everyone is either preparing for or recovering from a trip to Costco. 4115 Fourth Ave S, SoDo, 206-381-1553

29. Columbia Center

Better than the Starbucks at Third and Seneca, not as good as the one at Fourth and Seneca. 1191 Second Ave, Downtown, 206-652-8924

A fleet of tiny dogs; a wellspring of pumpkin spice lattes. 2135 Queen Anne Ave N, Queen Anne, 206-301-9477

41. Wedgwood

The funky layout is actually kinda good for privacy. 7303 35th Ave NE, Ravenna, 206-517-2877

42. First and Marion

Right by the overpass to the ferry, with a big piece of ferry art to prove it. 823 First Ave, Downtown, 206-340-9184

43. Phinney Ridge

The burger aroma from Red Mill distracts you from the coffee. 316 N 67th St, Phinney Ridge, 206-781-4153

44. Belltown

So this is what Belltown looks like in the daylight. 2326 First Ave, Belltown, 206-956-4322

Big, beautiful, and great in theory, but you can never get a seat. 4634 26th Ave NE, University Village, 206-522-5228

46. Two Union Square

The weird empty layout devolves into a Wall Street–like frenzy during the morning rush. 601 Union St, Downtown, 206-264-2534

A Starbucks that serves booze; finally you can get a drink in Ballard. 2200 NW Market St, Ballard, 206-782-2795

52. Pioneer Square

Giant windows for prime Pioneer Square people watching. 102 First Ave S, Pioneer Square, 206-382-2656

53. Pine Street

Petite like a vanilla bean scone; brisk like a grande cold brew. 515 Pine St, Downtown, 206-382-1201

54. James Tower

Invisible from the street; factor in the quaint plaza outside, and this may be the world’s most charming hospital Starbucks. 500 17th Ave, Central District, 206-325-6750

55. Third and Seneca

The revolving door at the building entrance is really heavy. 1201 Third Ave, Downtown, 206-467-3079

Sort of a Sharks vs. Jets vibe between the laptop jockeys and cell phone talkers. 2110 N 45th St, Wallingford, 206-548-9507

62. Starbucks Reserve Roastery and Tasting Room

The great irony: The coffee geeks who can properly appreciate the small-batch beans and esoteric roasting techniques wouldn’t be caught dead in a Starbucks. 1124 Pike St, Capitol Hill, 206-624-0173

Inside the Starbucks Reserve Roastery and Tasting Room

64. Second and Lenora

Spend hours using the Wi-Fi, nurse a small tea, and feel not one shred of guilt about dampening the day’s profits. Try doing that at an independent coffee shop. 211 Lenora St, Belltown, 206-441-1388

Wi-Fi leeches meet Bolt Bus riders meet crazy stadium crowds. 505 Fifth Ave S, International District, 206-381-8965

Blink and you’ll miss it. 2101 Fourth Ave, Ste 150, Belltown, 206-728-0883

74. Seattle Municipal Building

One of four Starbucks you can visit in three separate skyscrapers without ever going outside. 700 Fifth Ave, Fl 4, Downtown 206-622-5789

The weird layout makes it hard to tell who’s ordering and who’s waiting. 1000 Second Ave, Downtown, 206-382-1688

79. Roosevelt Square

Populated by high schoolers, thus the whir of the Frappuccino blenders is incessant. 6417 Roosevelt Way NE, Roosevelt, 206-526-7230

80. Madison and Boren

Not to be confused with the other grim-exteriored Swedish-serving location two blocks away. 1301 Madison St, First Hill, 206-254-1336

81. Fifth and Columbia

One Starbucks with just a few measly seats for a 42-floor building? Doesn’t this city have zoning laws? 800 Fifth Ave, Downtown, 206-623-3425

82. 35th and Fauntleroy

No seating; had to work on our Mike and Molly fan fiction at McDonald’s. 4408 Fauntleroy Way SW, West Seattle, 206-932-4230

A grocery store Starbucks, but with its own entrance from the parking lot. Fancy. 9999 Holman Road NW, Greenwood, 206-783-8104

The QFC Starbucks counter next door is way faster. 9023 25th Ave SW, West Seattle, 206-937-1732

The tourist fishbowl is made all the more hellish by a soundtrack of passing Ride the Ducks groups. 400 Pine St, Downtown, 206-652-0801

101. SoDo8

What a tease—the store on the eighth floor of Starbucks headquarters isn’t open to the public. At least proceeds go to charity. 2401 Utah Ave S, Fl 8, SoDo, 206-749-5925

102. Third and Pike

Serious bathroom passcode wariness…probably for good reason. 221 Pike St, Downtown, 206-625-5177
