Starbucks Reserve - Empire State Building - New York, New York

Pedro O.

Interesting place if you are close to the Empire State building. They have cocktails and some creative coffee drinks and some pastries. I do not think is expensive compare to Manhattan in general. Service is attentive and kind but seems a little slow in the positive side you do not feel pressured to order or leave as you finish.

Sadly I can’t say I was incredibly impressed with this Starbucks. My husband and I stopped by here thinking it was the same as the Starbucks Reserve Roastery. It took 30 min to be seated even though it seemed there were plenty of tables available. We ended up at the bar with a bartender that frankly seemed annoyed we were there (the young lady that subbed in for him briefly was delightful and I wish she would have stayed). Both of us got the martini flight and ordered food. While the flight ($30) was fun I don’t think I’d order it again. We like the espresso martinis I make at home much better. We were almost completely done with our martinis before we got our food. And that was after someone who was seated almost 30 min after we were asked about the status of their food. Food was sub par. My avocado toast ($10) was hard and cold. My husband’s pizza bites ($18) looked like they were from Pizza Hut or Dominos and were also not very tasty in my opinion, but at least they were warm. Definitely not worth the $100+ we paid. But, it was a different experience than most Starbucks.

Stopped by after having dinner nearby. It was busy but still had tables available without reservations. The seasonal cocktails were delicious and really enjoyed the flights. If you have a Starbucks card, you can use it to pay for the bill. Service is slow but it was busy.

Wonderful restaurant! I like the holiday samplers and Olive oil cake. One more thing, my wife got the wrong dish, they sent the right one later and said that meal was free.

It’s a good place to hangout after your tour to the top of Empire state building as this Starbucks offers a little extra in comparison with other branches. They have wide variety of pastries, baked goods, beverages and a lot more along with live barista experience. It was closed when we visited. The food didn’t seemed fine (chocolate croissant and chocolate chip cookie). Will try to visit again during the day for better experience.

The staff didn’t seem very friendly especially the ones at the counter.

Very loud music vs other global locations made it difficult to hear staff, and take a work call between stops on my route.

Brûlée latte wasn’t caramelized. Brioche was dry. Coffee flavor was good but far too sweet.

Great merchandise. Great staff, but far different than Seattle location.

I came here with a friend the other day for the first time. I’m a huge Starbucks fan and the concept of a Starbucks with better selections of food and mixed drinks is spectacular. There are two floors where you can get foud ands drinks. The upper floor on street level is the prettiest with ltbe nicest bar. The one a floor below is the more basic looking bar and “restaurant” but is definitely less peopley and much quieter so we went to that one. You order from a QR code and they bring out your drinks and food. My drink was the Creme Brûlée Eggnog and was delish. The coolest thing is watching them use a culinary torch to caramelize the sugar on top! My friend thought her Pumpkin Latte was too sweet and the barista was so nice and brought another on the house. However that one was just watery. My friends first language isn’t English so there was some confusion. Just order Less syrup (one less “pump” of syrup is my advice in future. There are NO charging outlets here at all on purpose but I’m pretty sure that’s so people don’t knock up all the seats with laptops. Bummer if your phone needs juice though. Overall a good experience and will be back.

On our last day of Vacation my father and I went on a tasting journey where we got to know about the history of the Pumpkin Spiced Coffees and also got to experience all the background of it, like how its done and what ingredients are being used. Angelique was very nice and helpful from the beginning on. They introduced us to all the history and process behind the Pumpkin Spice. Angelique was very patient with us and had to repeat herself multiple times since we didnt get all the information at once, but managed to support us properly so even we, with our average english skills could understand all the amazement behind it. Definitely worth the price and a must go to if you like coffee!!!
