Starbucks Reserve Store

I loved it here! The food was great (pricey, though). I loved my decaf coffee. They had great selections of Starbucks merch.

Thought I was going to the bigger, more touristy location and ended up at the Starbucks HQ... surprise!!! Great atmosphere but a little confusing on the ordering process... just head to the velvet ropes for food or bar service. Glad we ended up there.

The Starbucks SoDo Reserve Roastery in Seattle is a coffee lover’s paradise, offering an elevated experience that goes beyond the typical cafe. The space is expansive and beautifully designed, capturing the brand’s heritage while showcasing innovation in coffee. From rare brews to experimental blends, every drink feels like a handcrafted masterpiece. It’s the perfect spot for anyone looking to explore coffee on a whole new level.

We have been to several Starbucks reserves (one in Capital Hills and one in Shanghai). Both are much bigger than this HQ one with more food varieties. However, nothing can beat the vibe of this one as it is right beneath the Starbucks global headquarters where the coffee magic is constantly brewed! The atmosphere is cozy and warm. Staff is super friendly. We fell for the PSL marketing campaigns by ordering one Pumping Spice cold brew and one affogato lol. To top it off, we also ordered a raspberry cheesecake. We asked for the least sugary dessert and this was recommended. It is delicious and can fill you up easily. The only slight disappointment is I wish they have more specialty beans or souvenirs just made for the HQ. Could be a good revenue stream.

When you’re in the area… GO! The food looks amazing and be sure to get drinks that you can’t get at your local “Bucks”. Def get the barrel aged cold brew. It’s perfect for sipping and enjoying.

We had a great time at the Starbucks Reserve in Sodo. It was pretty busy, but we managed. We made our own seating area by the fireplace and had a great time with the whole family.

Yummy! Just had to come to the birthplace of Starbucks. Only thing I’ll note that I wasn’t exactly thrilled with was that we had asked for the drinks to go & one hot & one iced. We received both hot for here. But I’ll come back, I especially want to try the cocktails

The meatballs and burrato pizza was pretty good. It uses a dough similar to a focaccia which was light, airy, and crispy. Also, they have a large selection of signature drinks to choose from.
