Have you been to a Starbucks Reserve?

I recently visited (seems so long ago now ☹ that walking around NYC was okay) the one in the meatpacking district in New York City that opened a little over a year ago.

Though not a big Starbucks fan myself (I get my joe at Dunkin’ thank you very much!), I found my visit to Starbucks Reserve fascinating!  It brings something surprising and multi-sensory to the coffeehouse experience.

On my visit, I ordered breakfast and coffee.  Although I usually drink my coffee black, I could not resist trying something different at this exciting location and decided on a cardamom latte. It was a great choice!  Enjoying my coffee and breakfast so thoroughly, I even ordered an additional coffee – iced (with lavender) as take-out!

It is an amazing space!  Covering 23,000 square feet, it brews coffee in seven different ways, has an expanded range of Reserve-exclusive coffee drinks, elevates the coffee aroma through in-house roasting, and serves artisanal food baked on premise.  In addition, on its second floor, is a full-service bar – a fun way to extend the Starbucks’ experience into the evening!

There are several Starbucks Reserve locations globally; one of the largest bars, Starbucks Reserve SODO, is located on the ground floor of the Starbucks global headquarters in Seattle.  Check and see if there is a location near you or in a country you may vacationing in – it is worth a visit!

Thanks for stopping by!  Please stay well and safe.
