This place is amazing! Coffee and Starbucks heaven! Lives up to the hype and better than a visit to the 1st Starbucks store in my opinion. Try a flight of cold brew w/one of their awesome food items!

My favorite coffee place in Seattle; this is NOT the Starbucks you know. Unique, high quality drinks and food, with a rotating seasonal menu and coffee selection. Store design is unparalleled.

Starbucks Reserve Roastery is a sprawling space designed to delight the senses. Hammered copper silos and wood grains round out an industrial lab process from bean to brew. Savor a cup at the bar. Read more

I sound like such a basic b but this place is amazing, mostly for the decor/ambience. Love the feel and overall structure. Cool to see how roasting mechanics happen. Some unique drinks worth trying.

Try the flights to compare different beans and brewing techniques. Everything is made in store including all the syrups and pastries. Grab a seat by the baristas to get the best experience.

Seriously impressive and worth the visit, even if you're not a coffee drinker. They have flights to try at the coffee bar, tons of gift items and a roastery for your viewing pleasure.

A special selection of coffee & more that you won’t find at regular Starbucks, not forgetting the atmosphere too... I take my double espresso over a scoop of vanilla ice-cream... my treat!!

A very fancy & expansive tasting room with modern vibe. Unique selection of Starbucks merchandise and more. Quite touristy, but I have to say I had my best Starbucks coffee here.

If you are into coffee, this is the place to go. A little bit of tea on display and some other things, but this is not your typical Starbucks.Try the whole bean coffee bar to pick up exclusive beans!

Fun! Got a vacuum pot of coffee at the slow bar. $10 but it was nice strong, flavorful, smooth coffee and the pot is enough to share.

Probably one of the nicest cafe experiences of all time. Once you get over that it’s Starbucks and appreciate the though that went into the design of this place and the inventive nature of the menu.

This is the pinnacle experience from Starbucks. I recommend a nitro cold brew along with one of the fresh baked goods from Princi (Starbucks’ new bakery). Pricey but worth it - very busy on weekends

This is probably how Charlie felt when he visited Willy Wonka's factory. This place is 100% cooler than the original Starbucks and I suggest getting the Nitro Coffee.

perfect experience in watching the coffee beans process, enjoying a delicious breakfast or brunch. At night a cozy fireplace next to a hot drink.

This place is amazing: a mix of coffee store, roastery, flagship store, lunch place (Serious Pie). The coffee tasting is awesome too...they also have exclusive coffees and beverages.

Worth a trip for folks visiting from out of town. Tasting room is gorgeous. Doesn't serve the normal Starbucks menu, focused on specialties based on the reserve roasts - a huge plus for me :)

Gorgeous design and amazing detail. It's still starbucks but they are using different beans they are literally serving better coffee made by better baristas so even if u are skeptical check it out.

Quick tip on relatively drinkable coffee here: 1. Spot a type of bean that doesn't look burnt/sweaty (hint: coffee beans are brown, are not shiny), 2. Ask for a pour-over.

This is not the Starbucks you know. Much better atmosphere, coffees (changes irregularly), and desserts. Bakery shop “Princi” is in the store and you can eat/buy their products as well.

Hands down the fanciest coffee shop I've ever been ❤️️ Their coffee still suck tho. Maybe someday they learn how to properly rest those beans after roasting. It's all burnt and bitter, as usual.

Surprisingly great coffee, Starbucks is returning to its roots. I had the espresso (Ethiopian) with sweet Italian cream. Be prepared for a long wait if you got a drink wi/ espresso

It's a tourist location in itself. Good for people and "coffee" watching. It can get busy, but there's always something new to do every visit. Good spot for photo shoots!

This store did what I never thought possible from Starbucks. They actually made *good* coffee. My cappuccino rivaled that of Stumptown and Intelligentsia cafes. Seriously surprised, go Starbucks!

Flight of Bourbon Whiskey with cold brew coffee. Interesting experience but probably not worth $16. They have pretty nice pizza toward the right side of the Roastery though!

Drinks are priced pretty high (over 7 bucks for a latte) but worth it for premium beans. This place is trendy and lively. Worth checking out.

Try one of the reserve coffees that are roasted on-site and uniquely sold in this store. Try the Paradeisi blend if they have it.
