For my first time being in Seattle, this is definitely a place you'd have to stop by! Not only are they slinging latte art one cup at a time, these partners are very welcoming! They know their regulars fairly well and they definitely offer myriads of coffees and methods! My personal favorite is when they do their coffee seminar happening every Wednesday at 6:30pm! Don't miss it! I highly recommend this place and I'll be back for more!
Super low-key location. Very hipster though. Big menu. Yummy food and drinks. Ordered apricot tart, and some other drinks. Definitely interested in visiting Starbucks reserves more in the future.
No matter how much you love your Starbucks, the Reserve will transports you to a Starbucks Heaven like no other. The ambience, aroma, flavors, even the electricity of everyone present.
Headed here after walking around pike place market and not wanting to wait in line at the original Starbucks. The teavana Emperor’s cloud and mist green tea is really good even for someone who’s somewhat a green tea snob - they serve it in pyramid tea bags on Alaska air.
If you are in Seattle even if you're not a coffee lover this is a great place to check out. You can tell everyone who works here really enjoys their job. It's a great educational place with tours. They teach you a lot about the coffee. We tried the coffee flights which was a great experience and I highly recommend.
If you love coffee, more particularly Starbucks, this place is going to a delight! I'm no coffee connoisseur, but I do like a coffee once in a while and this place is like Starbucks on overdrive!
There is coffee, tea, chai, whiskey, coffee desserts, pastries, bread all made in house! There is a whiskey room, and two other private rooms to relax in if you want to get away and get a little privacy. Tables, benches, lounge chair and plush couches are laid out strategically so that each section has their own separate vibe.
An adult bar is located within the main room sectioned off with railing while a bartender mixing whiskey drinks as mentioned earlier. Plus, my absolute favorite, craft beers on tap.
Most of the merch here is super cool and unique although it is pricier, in my opinion. If you're in the Seattle it's definitely worth a visit.
Artsy Starbucks store, essentially. Only 4 star because it was so super busy everything takes forever to happen (long queues within a tiny space).
Cool stuff: the Roast machines (you will get a pretty detailed explanation about how the supply chain of roasting coffee beans work), decor, merchandise. Coffee pairing with chocolate is cute and trendy.
Not cool stuff: Noise level, wait time
To be clear - this is for Starbucks Reserve inside same building as Starbucks headquarters. It doesn’t actually show up on Google maps as a reserve store. It usually has pretty good available parking. The coffee of course is delicious from all over the world. There is a nice food selection. You just can’t be in and out as fast as a regular Starbucks but that’s not what this is. And I think it costs a bit more for the premium experience but I don’t really pay attention to that.
Stayed nearby on vacation for 4 days and this was my local morning hangout for a great coffee.
Piped music through the speakers was way too loud everytime but the service and product was excellent.
Was interesting watching the different clientele coming in.
Will miss this great coffee shop but please turn the music down ffs!
Friendly staff and excellent service! This location is clean, spacious and rarely crowded so it my favorite place to just sit down, relax, and enjoy the coffee. They also helped grinding two bags of unopened Starbucks whole bean according to my filter's spec so bring your filter if you plan to do this.
Different from your standard Starbucks experience. The food was pretty good and coffee was great.
This is a Starbucks Reserve - more menu items, wine and beer, and, special brewing methods. Staff are great and knowledgeable, and the barista doing the brewing explained a lot of details to us and answered questions very thoughtfully.
We tried the "siphon experience" which uses the oldest method of brewing - siphone method or vacuum method - with some beautifully designed modern looking gear. It's a cool show, worth seeing from the water boiling and coming up to the upper compartment, to coffee going down -- and the resulting coffee is pure and super light. Very cool!
Lovely coffee, great selection. Much better than the stuff in the UK. Staff are friendly, will bring your coffee to the table and provide water. Easy to find. Worth a visit.
I visited there as this is a unique place. But as you assume, this place is full of tourists. It seems the cafe handles a number of tourists quite well. It is very organised. It is not a place for a cut of coffee tho. This place is for getting unique merchandise and leaving asap.
First time at a Starbucks reserve. They accept Starbucks gifts here. One of the cool things they have are the flights and experiences. I would highly recommend trying the flights. They gave little tasting cards to go with the coffee you're trying. They have food here too including fancier sandwiches.
The starbucks reserve has lots of limited drinks, unlike any coffee you've had before. The atmosphere is modern and refreshing and the service is even quicker than a normal Starbucks.
Best Starbucks I've ever been to and one of my most favorite coffee shop experiences I've ever had.
The cold brew malt was probably the best malt I've ever had hands down. Also we ordered an Ethiopian on the vac pot and the barista was super awesome and took time discussing the brewing method and the coffees origin and roast. He even brewed some blue mountain for us to sample after I mentioned it in conversation. The nitro brew was very good as well.
Overall the best coffee shop experience I've had to date and I make it a habit to visit locals shops whenever I travel. I had visited 5 highly rated local shops in Seattle before stopping here.
