Absolutely a must go! This is 4 floors of caffeine delight, much bigger and better experience than the NYC and Seattle locations! Each floor has a different “vibe” and set of coffees, matching the “vibe”. Coffees, eats, and bathrooms on all floors. Merchandise for purchase on floors 1, 2, 4. Would recommend looking at the menus before going so you can really map out hour coffee journey.Went on a Thursday morning (8:30ish). Busiest on floors 1 and 2

Great experience! If youve never tried a siphon brew, you should give it a try! Its a unique display of coffee artistry and science. The Coffee Master explains in detail and the taste is clean and amazing!If theres a line to get in, dont let that be intimidating, its worth the little wait to see how they roast the beans, the food is excellent and the atmosphere is awesome!

Went there on last Saturday evening and surprised no line. Nice location with a open rooftop equipped with many thermal heaters, not cold outside at all. Varieties of coffee and some quick bits. A bit difficult to find a table to sit. It also has a bar!!!

No doubt this is a very beautiful Starbucks Reserve located in a prime location!I love how each floor has its own purpose from the bakery, special goods, a bar, a rooftop, etc., and how intentional the Chicago Starbucks Roastery brand is put through every touch!This is a good place to explore and visit every once in a while. Often there is a misconception this might be a good productivity spot which it can be only if are lucky and it is not packed with lots of tourists, and background noise soo you might not be able to find a seat or charge your computer. I am putting that for awareness :)Access the rooftop can vary sometimes it is first come first serve or there are times you are required to make a reservation (at least I saw that last summer).

Would give it 6 stars if I could! Definitely a coffee experience. There are a four floors: first is a large Starbucks and store for mugs etc. Second is their bakery. Third is a experimental coffee bar. And fourth is a spirits / cocktail bar. Great ambience, friendly staff, and superlative presentation. Only downside is potentially long lines and wait times to get food & drinks. Id budget at least an hour - its not your typical grab and go Starbucks. Would definitely visit again!

Im not typically a Starbucks fan, but Starbucks Reserve Roastery was an amazing experience. You can purchase food and drinks on all floors, each having their own theme.The whiskey barrel aged cold brew was incredible. Filled with complex flavors and a light sweetness, from which I presume was a syrup sneakily added, it was probably my favorite cold brew Ive tasted. I had it side by side with the Knob Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, the original inspiration for the coffee drink.There is literally too much food to try. I had an almond cornetto, which had nice flavor, but was a little too dry. I hear their tiramisu is really good though! Unfortunately I didnt try it this time around.

Best freaking Starbucks experience ever! I never knew their was such a thing called a Starbucks Reserve Roastery. I stumbled upon it on the Mag Mile in Chicago. Apparently there only 6 Starbucks Reserve Roasteries on the planet. Chicago, Seattle, New York City, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Milan. Ive been blessed to have traveled to all of those cities, but never to a Starbucks Roastery until now. It was overwhelmingly amazing with a full bar with unique drinks you can only buy at this Roastery. Its nice enough to charge a cover just to enter, but its free to lounge around and connect. Dont miss this place. PS, I dont drink coffee, but I will come here everytime I visit Chicago in the future. I cant wait to go see the other ones...

⭐ What an experience! Forget coffee for a minute. The architecture and design of this place is incredible. And the smell *fainting*. Try your favorites, then head up to the top floor reserve bar for a unique experience. 10/10 would recommend checking this place out. They have mixologists and baristas making delicious beverages all day. A destination that must be one your to-do list.

I had a WONDERFUL time at the Starbucks Reserve! It felt like a dream come true for a huge Starbucks fan! I went to all of the floors! The workers were extremely nice and made the experience even better!! I loved my coffee, pastry, and cocktail! It was such a cool experience and beautiful building!

Worth a (reasonable) wait! No lattes here, but even better, flights of specialty coffee and creative cocktails with impeccable presentations. Check out the top floor bar and try the Cold Brew Flight and best of all, the deeply smoky Cold Fashioned. The modern and unique design is inviting and next time I’ll plan to stay awhile. Also the Dyson blade hand dryers in the washroom were cool :)

AMAZING!Is hard to get there, is crowded but it is the most amazing Starbucks in the world, when you travel you might think why should I visit a Starbucks if I have plenty of them in my city, well... this is not the case, in this establishment they sell only coffee stuff you cannot get elsewhere, the pastry and desserts are amazing and they even have mixology bar on the 4th floor and a roof garden.

Such an amazing experience. Starbucks Reserve is truly breathtaking. The food is mouthwatering to look at and delicious to eat. Well worth the small wait in line to visit this place. The staff recommended a great drink to go with the margarita pizza. Beware though this is nothing like youre typical Starbucks.

Review №16

One of the biggest Starbucks location in America, its more of an experience, baristas are helpful but are extremely busy leading to long wait times, with both outside lines to get in and time for placing an order and to receive one. People are helpful explaining all the details and interesting facts. This location is great for people who want to try new things. Many food and snack options available. One of the few Starbucks locations that serve alcohol.

Talk about an incredible experience. I have wanted to go to a Starbucks Reserve Roastery for a couple years, and it definitely did not disappoint. 4 floors of various drinks and food options. The cocktails were a super interesting combination of coffee and liquor. We also got a flight of cold brews, which came with little description cards that were fun to read.

Incredible coffee experience - would highly recommend. They are one of 6 Starbucks Reserve locations in the world and they’re the largest! Incredible cocktail bar on the top floor, experimental coffee bar with Clover brewers for coffee unlike anywhere else. They make their food / pastries in house, very good!For a unique coffee experience try the Clover brewed single origin flight. A picture included in this review, it was the best brewed coffee I have every tasted. A great presentation accompanied by a sheet on how to properly taste coffee and info on each origin.The baristas here are like no other - the best around really. They are all well trained and knowledgeable in all aspects of coffee. Again, I’d strongly recommend coming here to anyone who visits Chicago and enjoys GREAT coffee.

If you love Starbucks or coffee, you have to come here if you’re in the Chicago area! 4 floors of coffee heaven and the whole place is absolutely gorgeous. The food is also good enough to come here for a cute lunch, or even a midday coffee break/snack. They also offer cocktails on the 4th floor, and it’s always happy hour somewhere! I’ve never heard of a Starbucks Reserve Roastery, and I’m from NY so I definitely need to visit the one in Manhattan as well now!

During our visit to Chicqgo I had a rule to not stop at any Starbucks. Locally owned coffee shops only. HOWEVER, as we walked by this place we knew we had to go in. It was a great addition to our visit.

Review №22

Very interesting and unique place. I was very lucky to be able to go there. I had been to Starbucks two times earlier that day and both times the coffee wasnt very good. The coffee that I got at the reserve roaster was super good so was the pizza so was the pastries everything was awesome. Its kind of tough finding parking down there had to pay like $28 to park but it was worth it.

Review №23

Starbucks Reserve Roastery is absolutely worth the visit. Plan to spend 2-3 hours for the full experience and spend about $100 for two people to experience things on each level and leave fairly full.We started on the 4th floor by one of the staff member’s recommendations - this was a good recommendation. We started with the espresso martini flight and it was excellent, though worth noting that the drinks were fairly strong. I could feel them, so it’s a good thing we started with the hard drinks! Moving onto the third floor, we had tiramisu (fairly large portion) and cold brew trio. I enjoyed the whiskey barrel aged cold brew, but wasn’t a huge fan of the other two - that’s just my personal preference, however. Second floor: we had the margherita pizza and caprese on focaccia with a cucumber mint spritz and strawberry balsamic spritz. I would skip the caprese on focaccia if doing it again - bread was a little soggy and I was expecting to receive it pressed as a panini like the tomato mozzarella panini in normal Starbucks stores, but it was served cold. Not bad, but nothing special. The spritz were good as well, though the strawberry balsamic spritz would’ve been better with a thicker straw to stop the straw from being clogged with strawberry bits. Before we left, we got Reserve lattes with oat milk, a cannoli and a raspberry cornet. All were great. Not only are the food and drinks excellent, the staff is delightful to interact with (worth noting: the entire place is non-tipping, even the cocktail bar!) and the building and decor are beautiful. Looking forward to our next visit and visiting more Reserve Roasteries around the world.

Had a wonderful experience here. We came because it was such a unique Starbucks not far from the museum.I had the Knob Creek bourbon barrel aged Guatemalan coffee. Watching it get made was quite an experience. The smoky flavor was amazing. It was worth the wait. First floor is packed. 2nd floor is usually not as busy.the view from the windows on the 3rd floor was nice.Will return next time I am in Chicago.

I’ve always wanted to go into a nice Starbucks Reserve and man I was so impressed by how nice this Starbucks was. I can’t believe there is 4 floors and each floor is so different from the next. If you like coffee or even if you don’t, this Starbucks is definitely a place to visit. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed stepping foot into this location.

Out visit was its own kind of experience. Fun to see once. Not sure it would be a priority to see again. The food was good, but the line was long and didnt move very fast. Some areas were crowded and stagnant. Spent $20 on lunch (chicken cacciatore and a black tea with frozen lemonade - the chicken dish was $10). Took the food to the rooftop to eat and were lucky to have a table where the hornets decided to make themselves at home, landing on our faces and clothes.

Review №32

Wow, what a cool place! As a huge coffee connoisseur (or addict depending on who you ask!) I thoroughly enjoyed this place….an absolute coffee Mecca. They have a huge building on Michigan Ave. and five floors of counter serve coffee products. They have coffee flights, cold brews, desserts, baked goods - whatever you can ask for.The line to get in was pretty long. Once inside, there was a crush of people at each level to order, though things moved along quickly. The real challenge is sitting space which is very limited for a facility this big. So it’s generally a challenge to get a spot to sit and enjoy your coffee flight or whatever delectable item it is you may have ordered.But overall a super fun experience and highly recommended if in downtown Chicago. You’re going to have to go several times to just scratch the surface of the wonderful offerings!!

Review №34

Just wanted to experience this huge Starbucks. We got to Starbucks all over the place so might as well try.This place is huge. Four floors with a rooftop. The rooftop is reservation only.Indoor seating. Masks off only while eating.Each floor has a different menu. Not similar to a regular Starbucks.The barrel aged coffee is amazing. I’m not a fan of cold brew coffee but this was awesome. We got a bag of the beans and hoping we can enjoy it when we get back to Belgium.The fourth floor bar is also amazing. Has a great selection of whiskey and gin. Was really shocked to see them carrying monkey 47.If you think Starbucks is expensive this is way more expensive version. We paid about 50 usd for what we ordered. Shown in the pictures. The profiterole was good, the croissant not so much but we are spiked with European pastries. The hazelnut tart was good as well but sweet.

Its my first time here.The place vibe and ambience is great and happening. There was a line on a week to enter the store. They have limited people allowing in.The floors are divided... like coffee, food, cocktail bar etc. The food we ate was good and tasty. The drink we had was the most expensive one of the menu.Bad thing is they didnt have any of my stardrinks or refresher with them...Hope the pics are helpful.

The biggest Starbucks in the world did not disappoint! Stopped by here to have a bite, coffee, and a few cocktails - everything we ordered was delicious! We had a croissant with ham and cheese, a chocolate croissant, iced coffee, espresso, espresso martini, and tried a couple others. The decoration is very interesting and the some of staff would explain what they were doing and throw out fun facts about the coffee growing and brewing process.Only two downsides from my experience here: the sandwiches/pastries cannot be heated up for some reason. You’d think the largest Starbucks in the world could have an oven or two?The other thing is that one of the baristas had somewhat of an attitude when we were ordering.Other than that, it’s a solid stop on a Chicago Travel Itinerary!

One of my favorite places. The design, the coffee and the drinks and the services are absolutely amazing. You must try the espresso martini because is the best you ever drink!If you are going during weekends or in holidays get ready to wait outside in the long lines. So going on weekdays is a better option.

If you like Starbucks or just coffee in general this place will impress you. Occupying 5 floors on Michigan Avenue, this place has any coffee drink you can imagine and 20 ways to brew it. Also features a gift shop, full on alcohol bar, bakery, and more. Recommend going there after morning rush if you want to stay as seating is oddly minimal for such a large place. Breakfast and baked goods are top notch.

Starbucks biggest reserve roastery that has 4 floors that include a cocktail bar and an experimental coffee bar. Circa 2019.

Review №49

Even tho online video told us not to fall for tourist trap and don’t go to worlds largest Starbucks, we still wanted to experience it. It was pretty cool, 5 story and each story somehow similar with little food differences. We went to second floor for food and sandwich options. Prices were almost similar but a lot of tax. Also we had to wait around 30 minutes for simple order.

The place is full of so many people. There are multiple places to order on 4 floors. 3rd floor has the pastries and so many coffees with a whole team of baristas. Service is quick even with the lines and the results are great. The teas were stronger than what you get in the normal store. Say next to the window over Michigan avenue. Fun to visit. Would go back.

It was cool to see all the different floors and they offer some interesting experiences. I wouldn’t say it’s a must see and there isn’t anything super extraordinary other than it’s large. If you’re in the area it’s cool to go in but I wouldn’t make a special trip for it.

Nice Starbucks Reserve place. I have been to the one in China so this provides a similar experience. Multi-story building with each level selling coffees, pastries and alcohol drinks. It is a cool experience if you have never seen this before. Take some selfies, grab a drink and some light snacks, enjoy the view a bit. They also offer coffee factory tours and roof top experience, but you need to have a reservation to do so. So if you are a fan, make sure to do your homework prior to coming here.

Wow, wow, and by the way - did I say wow! Starbucks on steroids. Best place to visit during my trip to Chicago. Four floors of Starbucks, I was in heaven. Even had samplings of barrel aged whiskey coffee. Wife had some amazing siphon coffee, the boiling water defies gravity and goes up into the flask. Baristas are so nice and knowledgeable. Hard liquor is on the top floor.

The Cornetto is a great desert or breakfast/brunch item.

Review №64

This isnt just a Starbucks, this rivals some of the best restaurants in Chicago. Itd be easy to view this as simply a tourist trap, but this Starbucks can have lines out the door for a reason and not just because its the biggest Starbucks Roastery in the world. Its because the flavor, care, and attention to detail in every beverage, pastry, dessert, or even savory meal makes this one of the best dining and cafe experiences Ive had the privilege to enjoy. This is well worth the wait in every way and something even locals shouldnt pass up on.

Massive Starbucks. Beautiful store with a rooftop terrace you need a reservation to check out. Each of the 4 levels has its own specialty ranging from coffee to experimental drinks. Store with branded merchandise on the ground floor and scattered around each level. Nice window view seating along the perimeter. Service is a little slow during peak hours since it gets extremely busy. During the weekend you can find a line of people waiting to get in.Cool variety of foods, drinks, and baked goods but they are on the pricier side.

Amazing! Literally like a coffee Willy Wonka wonderland. Just take my money! The space is currently only take out, no indoor dining. I suggest level 4 and grab a cold brew spiced rum to go!! The barrel aged whiskey malt coffee for $15 was amazingly good!The food here is top notch, you wont leave hungry. Just make sure you start at the top floor to get the good stuff.Dont bother with those reviews that say its just a huge coffee house.

I’m a partner at Starbucks and this was a very cool experience. Sadly the baristas that greeted me were short and kinda rude, and not excited to talk about Starbucks.

This place reminded me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.. it was just crazy cool and seemed like it should be in a movie. Every level had something different and it was cooler on every floor! The top floor was a surprising cocktail based espresso bar. We ordered the Starbucks Reserve Espresso Martini, which has Kalak Single Malt Vodka, Barrel-Aged Vanilla Syrup and Dark Chocolate. Personally it was too stout for me, but, if you like a strong coffee with a twist, you should try it out and make sure you visit every level! Excellent staff and service! All drinks are prepared to go, they come in a small jar and I had to keep it.

Ive visited three Starbucks Roastery Reserves around the US. By far the Chicago location is my favorite! Of course this review may seem biased; however, the fact is this the largest in the world. This location is well-design, and interactively organize by level.The companies mission statement and participation in ethically resourcing their coffee beans. For that reason, I keep being a customer. All in all, Starbucks does a phenomenal job in keeping their menu revitalize and creative.

Each floor is a different set up.Flatbread, all of the drinks that I have tried, and the cannoli are fantastic!If you have the time, and an interest in coffee, book the tour. Guided tour from a knowledgeable staff member with detailed information on all aspects of the location. Well worth the experience.I have visited multiple times, and will visit again.

I tend to avoid Starbucks in favor of a local venue, but this is the exception. This is not your average Starbucks. I highly recommend exploring each of the 4 floors at the reserve roastery, especially the siphon or cold brew experience on the 3rd floor.

Amazing staffs as always. Drinks are a bit pricey than other Starbucks in the neighborhoods, however the experience was amazing, you can get a tour, they have various instruments at display, and large variety of food items. They have a special chocolate with a history of what was used to develop it in Chicago, that is unique. Although pricey, around 20 bucks, you can buy it if you want to take back something unique to the Chicago Starbucks Roastery.

I had the most spectacular experience! If you’re in Chicago & love coffee, you must visit. So many different options and types of coffee. Love the description of the coffee beans and the different ways to brew. It’s a coffee haven!

A fun a unique experience at the biggest Starbucks in the world! Would recommend the experiential coffee bar on the 3rd floor. The sweet cream affogato was to die for.

This was by far the coolest Starbucks Ive ever been to. It had multiple floors each offering something new with tons of stuff you cant get any where else. We sampled both the boozy and non boozy drinks and they were both incredible. Id love to go back and try more stuff.

Ahmmmm…Employees move in slow-moThey have a couple more floors and much better views…than a regular Starbucks store, that is.When I asked for my fav blend called Sumatra ‘The Reserve Roastery’ blinked. Sure it may be seasonal but I know you can get it at many other places.One last thingSee attached screenshot of the speed test of the Verizon 5G Ultra Wide Band inside the store. ✌️
