If you're an avid Starbucks fan it'll be neat to check out this location as it was it's very first. If you're into coffee and know Starbucks coffee already it's nothing special. But it's in a busy area of pike place so good to walk past it.

Starbucks founding shop, the usual opening of the store door into the world of Starbucks fans want to pilgrimage, the store retains the original trademark two-tailed mermaid wood carving pattern, so unique, so most Starbucks fans into the store will buy a memorial cup, not a spacious shop, Often crowded with queues, if there are tourists who want to travel specially, it is important to note whether the time required to stay will affect the itinerary.

Had the chance to visit this store when I was in Seattle last weekend. It was only 9 an and the queue was long already. However I still managed to get in the line, to add a new experience in this iconic store. The waitress was so friendly during our wait. Got myself a grande almond milk latte and my husband tried their brewed coffee.

Their first shop in the world. You might pass by it without noticing it s a Starbucks because it is still have their old logo. There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. I think that is one of the great things to say about Starbucks. I liked the collection of their unique coffee.

It's supposedly the first original Starbucks but actually it's the second, the first one burned down from a fire and this one was built close to it. But the wait is typically super long to get something that you can get anywhere really. I recommend going in the morning time before rush hour or after 6pm.

Tourist attraction, obviously. Very crowded as everyone wants to be in and around it. Staff works as best as possible to speed the process through due to large crowds. Be prepared to wait an hour. Nice to see they have merchandise to show this is the origin of Starbucks.

I always bought white chocolate mocha grande. That is my stress reliever together with the banana nut bread. Thanks, Starbucks for always having all of my favorites, it's really helping me to overcome my stress. I love the ambiance and the smell of coffee, it makes me relax. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. Definitely recommended.

This place was packed and I agree with all the reviews, unless you want to pick up something or take pictures of the this place, don't buy a coffee from here. When I visited the store, it was a nice feeling staying in line to get my first coffee and buy a mug. To many people in line. You can pick up a coffee from the other starbucks across the street.

Super long lines but worth it for the amazingly friendly staff. Wait was about 20mins for us to order then another 10min wait for our drinks to be ready. This was at 12 so lunch time could be the reason but line stays out the door and down the street. Prices are the normal star bucks prices no more expensive then normal. This is the original starbucks so come for that experince and enjoy the wait!

The only reason you may wanna visit is that it's the first ever store, otherwise it's no different from the others. You get some souvenir items, but the place gets a lot of attention so chances are there's a long queue of people waiting to order.

The first Starbucks store.
Cups and tumblers limited to the first store are on sale and I think it is a great tourist spot for fans.
Product sales are in the right column after entering the store, and drinks are in the left column.

It's really just another Starbucks. The only difference being that this one sells unique mugs, etc related to being the original starbucks. If you're into that kind of thing, maybe its worth the wait. Otherwise it was good enough for me to simply see the location from the outside and not necessary to wait 20 minutes to get inside. That time could be be better spent exploring the rest of the outstanding pikes market and surrounding area.

The original Starbucks is one of the smallest but they make it work. Very organized and the employees are happy to help! I'm not the biggest fan of them but I had to check it out and get some exclusive merchandise.

Very interesting place to visit if you are into Starbucks and all that, though probably not the best place to visit if you are just needing a coffee, as the lines are ridiculously long and the store can get very very crowded.

This is the original Starbucks so they say and the lines lend weight to that claim. Its your standard Starbucks fare but with that added first place cache. I really enjoyed the coffee but mostly because of the setting just outside the door.

First Starbucks in the world. Be prepared to wait a bit as this location is insanely busy. They have a lot of merchandise that you can't get any any other starbucks. I suggest buying at least one cup or mug. After you order depending on the time of day expect a long wait. I had the reserve roast and it was probably one of the best Starbucks cups of coffee I've ever had.

Just your average Starbucks, except for the fact that it almost always has a line out of the door. However, I have to give the staff credit, as even when the line was huge, they moved people through the shop very efficiently.

i was not impressed. this doesn't show too much when it comes to history. it's more like 'take a picture outside and buy merchandise inside' i thought it'd be different or show more about the 'history of starbucks' but no, just buy a cup and get out.

Iconic first Starbucks outlet. But don t expect your cuppa to be fast. Always a long queue everytime I pass. The shop is small and always crowded. The coffee are just regular Starbucks. But you can get limited edition Starbucks merchandise that s only available in this store and nowhere else - things like flasks, mugs, etc.

A must-see in Seattle. This is the original Starbucks shop. The line is scarily long but I think the experience is worth it because it is simply put a must do in Seattle: it's what the city is known for.

Although it is considered the 'original' Starbucks, it is actually the second. The first Starbucks location no longer exists, so for Starbucks fanatics, all things considered, this is your mecca. It's just your ordinary, run-of-the-mill Starbucks with the classic logo and a few 'original Starbucks' markers throughout. After waiting in a long line, I was hoping for something more. I would have been more satisfied if my drink had the original logo or if they offered special drinks only served at this location. The 'tossing' of the cups was a nice Pike Place Market touch, except for the fact that the baristas consistently dropped them.

I love coffee. I love the taste the smell, experience. To wait in line for high priced sub par product it madness. People are lined up down the street to go to the "original" Starbucks. I have news for you, it is still the coffee you can get at the other 5 million Starbucks in Seattle. So if you are hell bent on getting their coffee. Walk another 5 minutes and go to a different Starbucks. This is why other countries hate us. Somewhere there is a villager, walking to get a jar of potable water. And you just spent more than they make in a month on coffee.

The only reason I visited is because it's the first store ever, other than that it's really just another Starbucks. But it was fun, it's a tourist attraction so expect alot of tourists and long line. No seating, just order and go. I got a mug from there. Cool interior. But overall, it was a cool experience.

Okay, this place is flooded with tourists. I would NOT want to work here.

The coffee isn't like any other Starbucks. Nothing's different to me. But being in its presence and knowing that this was the Starbucks that started at all is kinda cool.. but not worth the long line for the same cup of coffee.

Come, look at it, take pics, leave. Experience complete.

The first store is located in front of "PIKE PLACE MARKET".
Even when Starbucks around the world were green, only the first store continued to be brown. If you buy a prepaid card here and then buy a souvenir, you can buy a brown prepaid card that you can only buy here in the world, but unfortunately the system is different from Japan and you can not use it.

The first Starbucks store. Because it is a tourist destination, it is always crowded, but you can buy coffee in the early morning. There is also a variety of goods limited to the first store.
