I like this one too. I also agree with the Tysons Galleria suggestion. It's swanky too.

Starbucks on route 7 an chain bridge. Plenty of parking & seating. Long lines but most people don't sit and stay on weekdays.

Also Harris Teeter in McLean near Galleria also has a Starbucks an plenty of seating.

I've never been to a sbux in the area that wasn't slammed unless it was an off-hour.

+1 - I'm guessing that it has all of the seating because no one can park there!

I second this recommendation and also suggest the one on Route 7 in the Ethan Allan plaza, near the Container Store.

I've been there and it was a mob scene on that upper floor, but maybe it was a sunday - cannot remember.

This is a toughy OP.

Starbucks in downtown mclean is crowded too.

You could try:

1) Greenberry in Mclean if it's a weekday - has outdoor seating too
2) Caribou coffee on Rt. 7 next to Trader Joes - it's maybe 1 mile east of the mall on Rt. 7. Lots of seating there.

Does anyone have any recommendations for Starbucks near Tysons/McLean/N.Arlington/Annandale that have a decent amount of seating? Something close to the beltway would be ideal. I meet clients at Starbucks occasionally and need to expand my list of the ones with reliable seating!
