A wonderful place to visit if you're very into coffee. You can get all kinds of things there that is coffee related and they have a few food options as well. It can get extremely busy so space is very limited for seating.
The definition of Cool. A must see. Never seen anything like it.
Fun to see the roasting and a good view from the bathroom sinks. Pretty disappointing that a cashier wasn't straightforward with my wife about the days brews being mostly dark when my wife asked for light recommendations for a flight.
Love coming here everytime I'm in town visiting my daughter. Always order something new! The Malt was fabulous as was the Nito Float! Love my new bag too!
Tried the classic affogato, loved the combination of icecream and espresso shots! Perfect mix of sweetness and bitterness. The roastery has a very beautiful ambience.
This place is beyond words, my words anyway. A coffee lovers temple. Amazing food, too.
If you love coffee and the million different brewing options then come check this place out.
A very special place. I wish we had one in Barcelona.
Great place to eat, hang out chill, but a bit pricy
Probably one of the biggest Starbucks in the US and the most busiest. Try to find a place in the library/book section..
Pricey and good baked goods and coffee. Usually spend $15-18 each visit for a drip coffee, a sweet and a savory Princi baked good.
Workers/ servers were very friendly, kept up with refilling water and food and coffee were served quickly even on a busy Saturday.
The place looked wonderful. I didn't try anything there so would comment on the food quality.
If you're a Starbucks fan this is essentially the church of your religion. Unique merchandise and coffees await inside along with some of the best Starbucks Baristas in the world, apparently they're hand-picked.
The down side to all this action and excitement is the noise. Not a place I'd call calming. And the crowds can get crazy. A great destination every now and again. But not a place I would make my regular spot.
Great place for coffee lovers and tourists! There are so many drinks that you can try and coffee roasting machine to see how they roast their coffee beans. Grab pastries and visit here for coffee. It worths your time
Every state should have one of these shops. It has a ton of merchandise and food that looked amazing. A bar for coffee and one for alcohol. I did not get to go downstairs, but apparently there is a downstairs. Lots of different things to look at and sample.
This is a must for Seattle tourists. It is easily several times larger than any Starbucks I have been to and has a different look and feel. There are two separate areas where you can order delicious food or drinks. Also, don't forget to check out the view in the bathroom!
This is the fanciest Starbucks I've ever been to. Super open spaces and a cool coffee bar to hang out at. It's also cool that they have water for dogs outside. Go inside and find a bunch of mysterious stuff.
An amazing location and facility. It's huge and well worth the visit for many reasons. Parking nearby was ok. Friendly staff, good food, they had a small band playing during our visit. It's coffee was of course great.
this place is so hipster that i felt extremely out of place and felt like i had to pull my macbook air out from my backpack to fit in...
my body rejects coffee, so naturally my beverage options are limited, so i stuck with the matcha latte...
it didn't come with latte art AND it was close to $6... oh that's right it's starbucks.
this place is definitely heaven for coffee drinkers, with coffee roasting on site and plenty of hipsters educating you on coffee. think wine tasting, but coffee tasting instead. pretty neat concept.
starbucks definitely nailed it on the reserve branding, but thank goodness i didn't spend a penny on the merch that you get bombarded with as soon as you enter.
worth visiting once.
Nice ambience but overly priced reserve coffees. The reserve coffees in regular starbucks are equally good in taste, not sure why they charging a markup.
Better than starbucks first store. High quality coffee, well-designed goods, factory-like store were impressive!
A new experience for coffee. A must for aspiring coffee nerds.
Was a interesting place to visit and the service staff was extremely polite and helpful. Unfortunately the place is very crowded and it's hard to find a place to sit and enjoy the a drink from their unique selection of drinks.
What can I say? The greatest coffee experience of all time. The Bakery is phenomenal, coffee roasting exquisite and overall feel of this place fantastic! But you knew that if you are hunting this one of a kind gem out!!
Even if you are not a fan of Starbucks-coffee, this place is worth checking out. The building is absolutely beautiful, the service you receive from staff is amazing, and coffee is much different than you receive at a typical Starbucks location. It is fairly expensive, but worth it for the experience. If you're going to visit, I recommend in the middle of the week, as on the weekends this place will be completely packed, and you won't be able to find a seat.
Best described as the Willy Wonka of coffee, The Roastery is the highly unusual, but wonderful brain child of Howard himself. Baristas are recruit from across the country to work at this place that pushes the envelope on the industry every day.
If you are in Seattle you must go to this star bucks. From coffee to cocktails what else could you ask for!?
Very friendly and helpful staff, unique experience to get to see the roasting of the beans. Unique menu. Not that huge of a Starbucks fan, but I love coffee and this place was awesome!
Came here once and came back to visit a second time with family - worth it! Even for the non coffee-drinkers, it's still very cool to see the process.
Don t forget the bakery in the store. Tiramisu is very good.
If you love coffee, this place is a most! What an incredible experience, everything here it's awesome!
This place was cool. Nifty-neato. Its like the Disneyland of all the Starbucks!
Freaking Awesome Place! Take the whole fam damily! First Starbucks Roasterie... Not the first Starbucks... (That's at Pike's Place Market) Just to be clear to those heading to the great land mark sharing cool facts to their group. Sells clothes, novilty coffee paraphernalia, and fun Starbucks memorabilia.
Beautiful space. Different option of coffees that might not available in other place.
This Starbucks is hands down the coolest coffee place I have ever been too!
This isn't your normal Starbucks so don't expect $2 pike place drips. Come in not in a rush and try some excellent coffee.
Beautiful and delicious coffee of course. Very expensive.
Surprisingly very good! I absolutely abhor the usual Starbucks coffee but these guys definitely know what they're doing and are so polite! Kudos.
Underwhelmed is an understatement they get two stars for service as everyone working there was knowledgeable, efficient and polite. Unfortunately the Kenyan was over roasted and had no nuisance, the tea was served in a beautiful pot and I was told it had 45 more seconds but the glass mug wasn't large enough to decant all the tea so the rest over steeped. No vegetarian bagel sandwich options. Won't be heading here again.
Nothing but hype! Save your money and visit some local coffee roasters with better quality coffees and less glitz!
If you are coffee lover, you should definitely vist here! better than Starbucks in public market!
We had an incredible experience going to this Starbucks Roastery. First of all, any preconceptions you may have about starbucks need to be thrown away. At this location, they really out an emphasis on the beans and the immersive experience one can get from consuming coffee. We were actually overwhelmed by the amount of options they offered. Great atmoshoehere aswell with many cool looking antiques and mood lighting.
Great experience if you want to see how coffee is made
This is the best Starbucks I have ever been too. The pizza is amazing! (Yes, I said pizza!)... the espresso/coffee is amazing and there are so many great choices to choose from. The people that work there are awesome and nice as well!
Great place with friendly people, you should visit
Pseudo-sophisticated tackiness at its finest. A gift from Starbucks to Starbucks. Awful overdone ambience "with notes of chocolate and asparagus"..... Everything money can't buy under one roof. If you want good coffee and knowledgeable staff go to Caffe Vita or Bauhaus. This place is pure silliness an overdone folly.
A Willy Wonkian coffee experience. No Oompa Loompas but a true spectacle and feast for the eyes and nose as you walk through this stunning and beautiful establishment. Seems odd to me though that they do not honor the Starbucks Rewards program at these locations. Unisex bathroom with private stalls but common handwashing area.
What an experience! For all coffee lovers, not just Starbucks fans. Best thing we've done in Seattle!
Excellent tourist location. Also great coffee. Had about a 15 minute discussion with a knowledgeable employee who elaborated on the intricacies of their unique clover coffee making machines. Then I got one of the espresso shots. While the taste was a little strong for me, the psychological effects were enlightening. It felt like I strapped into a 747 and cruised up to commercial airline flying altitude. which is 30,000 ft. In case you're wondering lol. It brought precision and clarity of thought. An epiphany, if you will. They also had a library, a bar, and souvenirs for purchase.
Crowded, overpriced, but you get to see how the sausage is made. They roast the coffee on the first floor in the open. It is interesting to see the process and the amount of beans they go through. Go if you are bored and are out of places to go.
Really interesting place to visit for the aesthetic as much as the coffee. Friendly and knowledgeable staff mean you're likely to enjoy your visit and learn something in the process.
Was taken a back by the aroma of coffee. Large amount of setting and the bakery produces great items.
Sbc spending 2million dollars to kill the small local coffee roasters that had been home to the neighborhood for decades.
Awesome place! One of its kind Starbucks, a must visit.
Crowded all the time. They don't have the same food and drink as a normal Starbucks. No gluten free breakfast sandwiches. Also expensive. Cool place though.
Carry forward the coffee culture and only serve Starbucks. There are some coffee appliances sold at the door, and I want to buy them when I look at them. There are small snacks in the baking area and daily recommendations in the coffee area. The huge factory equipment is roasting beans, which is also a scene implantation, haha
Every inch of this place is packed. 20 minute wait for a basic coffee. If it was quite and a pleasant place to be, would I wait? Absolutely. Do not bother unless you must have one of their gimmicks or you're looking for some insta content.
I'm not a Starbucks coffee fan, but the moment I step in the shop, instantly like atmosphere here. Like the coffee my daughter ordered for me, tried and like my wife and daughter's different drinks too. No wonder people says Starbucks coffee tastes better in Seattle!
A very nice design and great coffee. Not the typical Starbucks at all.
Normally, I dislike Starbucks immensely. They over roast their coffee beans until they're bitter, and who wants to drink bitter ass coffee? BUT the whiskey barrel aged cold coffee was amazing! I recommend this place for that and nothing else.
Everything coffee, also food and accessories, Coffee Heaven, you have to go. Uni-sex bathrooms, privacy, family bathroom right in front.
I've thoroughly enjoyed every tri I've made to the Starbucsk Reserve Roastery. While sometimes seating can be not the easiest to find, the staff are always friendly, and the offerings specific to this location are outstanding even if what is on the nationwide menu may not be available. The aesthetic and design of the place are stunning, and wathcing roasting happen is very interesting. I commend Starbucks here for having a unisex / gender-nuetral restroom, too.
It's all about the experience! Disney World for Coffee??
