An unforgettable experience at Starbucks Reserve! Brandon was an exceptional host and made the Art of the Espresso Martini Experience truly special. The class was not only fun but incredibly informative. I learned so much about Starbucks' history, coffee culture, and what makes the Reserve unique. Brandon taught me how to craft the perfect espresso martini and shared some impressive barista and mixology tips along the way. The food pairings were delicious and highlighted just how versatile the espresso martini can be—perfect with both sweet and savory bites. I also had the rare treat of being the only guest that afternoon, which made the experience feel like a personalized masterclass. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a unique, educational, and delicious experience!

One of a kind experience. Guided by a knowledgeable bartender, you'll not only enjoy cocktail crafting but also have the chance to learn anything that piques your interest, for example, from cocktail techniques to the stories behind the spirits. Even if you're not particularly into cocktail crafting, the tasting alone makes it worthwhile. You'll get to try four distinct styles of espresso martini, each with its own characteristics.. The price is more than fair for what you get, and honestly, the experience itself feels like a bucket list item for anyone even mildly curious about mixology or cocktails.

We had an amazing coffee tasting. The barista was very knowledgeable and gave us a top notch experience.

Amazing experience with Kalani! He was awesome and gave us so much insight into Starbucks history and coffee tasting!

For coffee lovers it's an amazing experience! I learned a lot about coffee despite drinking it everyday day, it was something I recommend all faithful Starbucks customers to experience 🤗

We did the Pumpkin Spice experience and it was amazing! Definitely a little on the pricey side... But Brandon was wonderful and is super enthusiastic about Starbucks and coffee in general! Would love to do another experience next time I am in a city with a Reserve.

I was picturing more of an immersive event when I read the description, but it was still fun. If you are local, it is worth the experience, but since I was from out of state, I felt a little bit let down by the experience. The barista was very nice, fun, and engaging. I wish this had been held in one of the private rooms, as it was a busy time with lots of clamor from the other patrons. Maybe have an activity sheet or some kind of craft. The PSL pin was a very nice touch, and the three beverages were delicious. It is quite rich tasting them back to back, so they have still or sparkling water available.

10-15 minute wait with a pager for a simple Americano. Needs to get its act together and operate more like a coffee shop than a bar

Awesome experience. Loved our coffee and croissant here. Great baristas and beautiful inside. The changing train board was cool.
Rating is a 1. We were really looking forward to visiting Starbucks reserve. When we got there they a paper closure note on the door. No mention on their website or Yelp. Very disappointing.

Cool vibe, and the live-fire was great. Service nice and ultrafast. Coffee, like usual at Starbucks, good but not excellent. Only thing I disliked were the unisex bathrooms, I get the idea, but I just couldn't feel very confident on it. My opinion only.

It is an ENTIRE vibe and experience! Great place for a first date, after work hour spot or a place to simply chill and unwind. Sexy, chic, contemporary industrial space, which has a full Bakery. They offer Italian baked goods: Paninis, Olive Breadsticks, Pizzas (Sicilian style) & other fresh sandwiches. Their Bar serves Aeperol Spritzers and a Seattle based Gin (Big Dog), which is very Junipery and strong. It is the base of a number of drinks. We had Martini Espresso (it IS Starbucks), Cold Brew Rum (VERY GOOD), and a Sparkling Sakura Mimosa (Prosecco) style drink. They are also open to free-styling if you want to be adventurous. Our Bartender Syd was phenomenal! Professional, yet engaging to everyone, quick and efficient. She had great suggestions and never missed a beat or a customer's request! They also have Coffees available and Imported Olives and Olive Oil. They have chic coffee accessories and unique gifts, especially some of their clothing items, which includes a Fly Rustic Industrial style Apron! And there is a large FREE PARKING LOT! THIS entire experience was FANTASTIC!!!! A Seattle MUST!

You ask for a salad and you get lettuce hearts which you have to find a knife to cut all the leaves. Seriously

We were expecting a sit-down restaurant, it's not. Mostly it's a selection of cold sandwiches which were tasty but would have been better warm. Separate long line for cocktails. Very crowded due to Mariners game, so there was very limited seating.
