Starbucks Reserve Roastery - Seattle

Such a cool spot to visit and chill. It is pricey but you are paying for a unique Starbucks experience. They have special food and drink items, cool merchandise and a nice ambience. The person roasting the coffee gave us a full detailed step by step process for how he roasts the coffee it was very interesting. Heads up it gets SUPER busy so go during off times (avoid weekends and lunch hour rush)

When I first walked in I was immediately overwhelmed, but a nice employee came by and probably saw that I didn’t know where to look first so he gave me a brief little tour. The place is huge and has a merchandise section, a bakery with sweet and savory good, a bar (which is where I spend most of my time) and the coffee area. There was one drink in particular that I had at the bar that was amazing and it was a coffee brewed with bourbon and poured over a lavender scented ice ball. It was amazing and I’ve tried to recreate it at home.

Very nice ambience and friendly staff. The place was super packed and busy so finding a table may be challenging. My husband and I went in for the coffee flight and with cakes. It’s a cool spot that gives you that big city feel. You are still in a Starbucks but it does feel a little more special. The coffee was good and the staff was great. The chocolate hazelnut croissant was delicious though. Quite pricey but a nice experience.

Such a fun experience! Tons of drinks and food you can’t get at any other Starbucks. The energy is great and service is accommodating to how many customers they constantly have. Just about every corner is worth photographing and posting. Worth visiting.

I decided to go on an all day walk about, and this was my first stop of my day. I've started to experiment with brewing techniques and coffees, so I thought I would grab a cup and wander. The scent of roasting coffee was very pleasantly wafting in the air. There were lot of tourists milling about the merchandise. There was a line of folks waiting to get their caffeine fixes and maybe a pastry to go with it. There is plenty of areas to sit and enjoy your cup while taking in the lovely day. I caught the last part of a presentation on vacuum brewing that looked rather fun.
