Starbucks Coffee Company Reviews

Great experience. They have coffee moving everywhere, and completely functional as the reserve coffee you see here is distributed out. They have tons of different brew methods, and their beverages are much more unique than what you would find at a normal Starbucks.

Super cool place, every time I am in Seattle something calls me to check this place out! Highly Recommend!

Really nice place. You can shop for some good Starbucks merchandise here too.

A great Starbucks, this is the world's first Reserve store.

Worth the visit, good information, beautiful equipment, try a flight of coffee

Delicious food and beautiful aesthetic. Very enjoyable, in fact I would drive up from Cali to visit again.

My first Starbucks which I like. Best coffee, like in craft coffee shop. Of course high-end bakery Princi. But breakfast with eggs should be better.

It's was okay. Definitely a corporate facade that Starbucks wants the public to see it as. That being said, the coffee was the best Starbucks coffee I've had and the reading library is a nice touch.

Not to be missed! Lots of gift ideas for friends and family.

The store was very spacious, clean and the staff were friendly.
They sold many kinds of souvenirs, as well as delicious breads.
I had two kinds of bread and Americano, which was a bit pricey but delicious.
And I sat in a bar-like place and drank coffee, but there seemed to be many people who couldn't sit because of the number of guests compared to their seats.

Nice place. You can see how coffee beans go from beans to the bag.

A truly unique experience!

This is no normal Starbucks, this is the Starbucks Reserve you will not find pumpkin spice lattes or other specialty drinks. You will find specialty coffee!

You will be greeted with a coffee menu and friendly staff to help guid you to ordering. Again, this is not a normal Starbucks!

All the staff at this location have gone though the Starbucks Master roaster courses. You may have seen one of them working at your "standard" Starbucks, they are the ones with a black apron vs the standard green apron.

Expect to pay for the "exotic" price starting around ~$6 and up. The Starbucks Roastery, at the time of writing this, is one of two in the world and the only one in the US. The other is located in France. All North American exotic roasts come from this location.

I was delighted by my experience. I don't normally go to Starbucks except on occasion. I normally like the light and medium blends. This is the first Starbucks I have ever ordered espresso. I was not disappointed. The espresso was smooth, rich, and left no taste of bitterness.

You will also notice they care very much about their band. Serving go cups with in a Black cup with the Roastery brand logo.

One other thing you will notice, gender neutral restrooms which everyone enters through the same entrance, the sinks are shared, urinals are individually segmented just like the stalls but the bathroom itself is a "common" area. I think this was well designed and implemented. Never have seen or used a public gender natural restroom area until this place.

This is the mother of all Starbucks stores
Yes you can buy there coffee but it's also a roastery and an actual tourist attraction.

Starbucks on another level. Great atmosphere to learn about various brewing method and about coffee. Very interesting.

This a great place for coffee lovers to visit. Even if you do not drink coffee it even has a bar where they sell alcoholic beverages. You can find any type of souvenirs and get the whole coffee making experience. They also have good food and their customer service is excellent. This is a must when you visit Seattle and a great place to spend a good afternoon.

Good food I am not a coffee drinker but the roaster was interesting.

Lines were a bit long with limited seating, but I loved going here. Had a Hazelnut Bianco Latte that tasted like actual hazelnuts, not just some syrup with flavoring. Really cool to see the beans roasted right here as well as the Princi cafe and coffee bar.

Amazing experience. Brittany and Jonathan were superb. They brought us the most tasty Chai Oolong and Macha teas that we have ever had. They have good food and an array of drinks here. The service is extraordinary. Learn about the history of this fabulous company from some of their best personnel. This beats waiting in line outside the original Starbucks in Pike Place. Walk a few blocks more to the Roastery for a unique experience. Thank you Jonathan and Brittany for making this a memorable day for a couple of tourists from Texas.

Good place for coffee lovers. Tasting has a lot of coffee, which is already cold.

Nice place to see coffee beans move around and you get some awesome starbucks products that you wont find in normal stores. Parking is tricky. Rely on street or there is one place where you can park opposite to this place but you got to pay like 12 to 20$

There are a lot of people, but the coffee is good and there are a lot of beautiful MDs.
Apocato is so fantastic

Not a place I would visit often, but amazing. It is awesome to see so many different forms of coffee in this one place. Definitely worth coming to at least one time.

Charming place for coffee aficionados. Knowledgeable staff enjoys being peppered with coffee questions to flex their knowledge. Haters don't like paying for a decent cuppa. Worth every cent.

They have a special kind of coffee which sells only in that store.

Amazing drinks you can t get anywhere else. Tons of leech that isn t available anywhere else. A great overall experience.

Beautiful place, and they have good coffee as well.

Good luck! Depending on the day you will have a hard time finding a place to sit. Extremely busy, but I love it.

Overpriced pretend tourist trap. I appreciate a good cup of coffee as much as the next person, but let's call this place what it is - part showcase and part hangout for tourists, and the coffee was overpriced and slightly better than bad.

The atmosphere over here is incredible, it is practically the Vatican of Starbucks. All the reserve grinds you can think of are found here and it smells amazing. The taste testing is also an amazing experience that is definitely worth a shot if going for the first time and watch the simplest flavours change in your tastebuds!!

Amazing service. Was very fun even though I'm not a coffee fan.

Great experience, very stylish interior design with a roasters set inside working as a demonstration to tourists like us.

All hype no substance.
Great fit out and space with plenty of copper to distract you from the average coffee they serve.
Had a hand drip (pour over) the was done by an automated water dispenser which resulted in an bland watery coffee. Who knows, the beans might have produced a delicious coffee if they took the time to brew it by hand.

A fun experience but definitely overpriced. Some drinks are $8!

The real deal! Staff is amazing along with great service and the design concept is a solid!

I love this place!! Friendly and helpful staffs, relax atmosphere. Learn some knowledge about coffee here.

Take the tour, eat the food, and if you feel like a coffee....

Loved the ambience here. The coffee and food were excellent. The staff was fantastic, very friendly and helpful. Great location near downtown Seattle. Highly recommend visiting.

Not the coffee shop you'd want to visit every day. However, it is total sensory overload, exciting, beautiful, and a terrific experience.

It's a cool place but everything is so expensive. Visiting once is enough.

It's 2017 and this #1 Starbucks don't have outlets at the bar to charge the phone, like 2 outlets on walls and always someone else changing get in line with customer needs Starbucks

Lots of tourists and hipsters and "those who know", but still worth one stop. Friendly staff. Prices are pretty high, but quality of food and drink is very good.

For every coffee lover, this place is like disneyland. There's so much to geek out about and learn. Design of the space is cool too.

A coffee connaisseur's paradise... Just too bad it's always so crowded.

Fine coffee.

Great staff. Most knew my name after the first coffee. The nitro cold brew was amazing.

Will return if up there.

Great place to start your day with excellent breakfast. Good service. Good choice of breakfast items.

The place is cool, you can see the tools to prepare coffee beans.

Great place with a variety of coffee options. Great to work at as well. Different seating locations.

Really cool experience. Came with family and we must have looked overwhelmed because some nice employee came up to us and started talking to us. They offer artisan drinks not made at the typical Starbucks like nitro cold brew. The atmosphere was amazing and there was no shortage of things to look at!

Cool environment with fun experimental drinks. Had a great time talking to roasters and trying different flights of coffee. Must visit when touring Seattle

The roastery is worth seeing. It's a beautiful, ode to coffee and full of some unique knick knacks and tasty treats.

The roastery is also a freakin madhouse and packed to bursting nearly every minute of the day.

So go, take a look, but maybe don't stay. ;)

I'm not into coffee. Expensive choices. Nice old fashioned outfits. Hipster people to wait in you.

Nice fancy Starbucks reserve! Servers here are great. The ambiance is chill. It's a nice place to study, work or meet with friends. It gets busy but this location is quite large. Lots for merchandise too at this location.

Expect to pay a dime for a touristy experience and good coffee. You'll find nothing but single origin roasts really well prepared and be offered drinks that you won't find at any other starbucks, possibly any other roaster or coffee shop. It's great if you want to impress a guest who is in town, they'll definitely remember the ambience and great service. But expect the pricing to seem ostentatious. Parking isn't always easy in this part of town.

Very friendly servers. Comfortable seats. Very cool to see the beans roasting.

Way too busy. Hard to enjoy the place. Though it is a tourist place, it is understandable, therefore, you should check it out and experience it at least once. There is a lot to see, drink, eat and buy.

This Starbucks made me fall in live with coffee one more time. The collection is very large and menu changes everyday. Also the souvenirs and merchandise is very cute especially I liked the silver keys as a necklace. You can order a coffee testing menu which is totally worth it. A little overpriced, but the quality is on a different level.

The staff is sooooooo friendly and the atmosphere is awesome !

Beautiful place. fabulous attention. First products.

It was cool but prices are way to expensive personally me. Also I got a bianco ice drink and it was super small so I personally don't recommend it.

I don't typically like Starbucks, but if you're in the area, you have to check this place out. Especially the bar and bakery area.

Overwhelming but staff are really friendly and take time to explain

Best Starbucks coffee options and fascinating custom coffee and cocktails experience.

Same delicious coffee, at the same reasonable prices. Likewise same fast and friendly service.

Coffee ice cream was amazing ! Very big and open space , good resting coffee during the trip!

I was hoping that I would come back to this shop again because I greatly loved the place, staff, coffee, and foods. Honestly, I enjoyed every moment that I visit in your shop, for it was satisfying and worth it. Also, the foods and the coffee that I ordered taste very good and yummy. Overall, I like everything in your shop. Thanks!

The employees can be rude at times especially close to closing but a beautiful and amazing place that worth visiting, especially for visitors. They should hire more employees at this location, it s obvious that they are under high stress and high volume of customer at all times of the day!
Many people utilize the Starbucks reserve as hangout spot and meet up spot as well. It s open, large, not exactly wheelchair friendly in regards to the entirety of the venue. Stairs steps are way too thin and can be dangerous after rain if walk down to the lower level. Advise cautions

So, in the name of quality, we're supposed to wait and wait. I've seen Italian coffee bars serve 10 times the customers in 1/4 the time. It takes too long to get your order here.

Fun pre-movie hangout, always packed, lots of special drink options.
