Starbucks Reserve Roastery Chicago

Worth the wait 5 min. In the early morning for a memorable Starbucks experience. Staff members were incredibly polite and nice. A very nice staff member on her break gave me the recommendation to take the stairs to the roof top to enjoy my purchased beverage and pastry on there - as the elevator to the roof top would not be open until later in the afternoon. In addition to this much appreciated recommendation, as I was buying food and drink, a nice guest gave me the recommendation to get the Starbucks Reserve 'Bianco' which I would certainly recommend now. This is a great experience and I would even prefer this location over the one in Seattle - as it spans across 5 floors and I will certainly consider a tour the next time that I return.

An amazing experience for all coffee lovers! I know… Starbucks is commercial and a chain. No comparison to small roasters or independent coffee houses. However, the Reserve Roastery bring you different experiences and amazing flavors. I loved how it is built and I was amazed by the different kind of coffee they offer to you. I discovered new way of preparing, serving and testing coffee and I feel like every coffee lover should spend some time in this place and having an open mind about it.

We had a great experience at the Roastery. It was very simple to schedule our reservation in advance. We were staying nearby and planned to have a couple drinks before heading to dinner. We could’ve spent a while here though, we really enjoying talking with the bartenders about the coffee and tea cocktails. We ordered a couple of flights - the espresso martinis were perfect and I would recommend any of the tea based drinks. Everything was very high quality and a great start to our evening. The ambiance was great - not too crowded having reserved seats at the bar helped but still a lot of energy in the building. I’ve recommended it to a few friends that also had great experiences. Hoping to be back very soon!

Beautiful venue for unique coffees, cocktails, teas, and more. It can be quite crowded on weekends, best to visit on a week day on typical work hours. The coffee beans are quite expensive, ranging from $24-72. I would not recommend unless you can get a coffee tasting, but this service is not available during the pandemic.Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: NoTakeout: Yes

I am in love with this place, it is beautiful, the atmosphere is great and the staff is very friendly. Our drinks where delicious as expected and I was pleasantly surprised by their baked goods. We had several drinks and pastries and my hands down favorite was the chocolate croissant; it was crispy in the outside, while the inside was full of buttery layers, filled with just enoph chocolate it was simply the best crafted croissant I have ever had.

If you don't love Starbucks, this place will change your mind. It is the largest Starbucks in the world and 5 story of amazing architecture and palette treats! There's ample seating as well, but since there's always people queuing to enter, so be lucky or be prepared to wait for seating! The coffee here is so much better than the regular Starbucks, which speaks to the trained barristers and quality beans. Wish the regular local Starbucks are half as good. The food are actually decently priced, especially given the prime location. The pizza slice is my favorite, 8 two inches squares in a slice of pizza for $9.

This place was beautiful!!! Not a coffee drinker but enjoyed the overall aesthetics of this Starbucks location. I also enjoyed the assortment of house cocktails - including the espresso martini. Definitely a must-see/visit when visiting Chicago! If you’re not a coffee drinker there are plenty of other options and aspects of this location to enjoy.

This is more than just coffee, this is an experience. As the worlds largest Starbucks, it includes four floors and a roof terrace. Each level is a different experience. The food on the second floor especially is much more than you expect and would get from any regular Starbucks. They even bake their own bread and sell it - or you can just enjoy it on the amazing avocado toast. The fourth floor is a bar- all exclusive Starbucks products. There is a fun mercy shop and Flip-style message board. However, the show stopper is the building itself. If you don’t buy anything, you owe it to yourself to go inside and take the escalator to the top and come down exploring each floor. It’s just amazing.

Love this place went twice during my trip. The sandwiches are good, the coffee is excellent. Highly recommend the barrel aged coffee. Their cocktails were excellent, and the staff working were friendly and helpful in answering questions. I also found though it was busy both times I went, line times weren’t overly long, and the food and drinks came out quick.

10/10 for the building and how stunning it is. I think the reserve is 3 stories, and has a very small “roof deck” at the top. 3rd level is a bar. We waited in line for breakfast sandwiches and coffee for about 45 minutes. The display of all the croissants and sandwiches looked amazing. HOWEVER, the food all came out COLD. They do not even toast or warm up the breakfast sandwiches or croissants. To be honest, it tasted pretty horrible. Not a fun experience. Coffee wasn’t strong at all. Also cold. If I would have known all of this I would have never waited in like that long. 2/10 for the food and coffee.
