    I've never left a Starbucks review before but I've also never been inside a Reserve before! As much as we all complain about the prices at Starbucks or how there are better mom and pop coffee shops or whatever, you can't deny the comfortability of walking into one. The amazing smells, the familiar menu and the extra nice baristas; I haven't really met any angry Starbucks employees. They either hide it well or on some level, they enjoy what they do. My daughter and I were walking the mean streets of Birmingham in 90° weather for some reason and came across this gem. We were greeted by happy folks and the cool, refreshing air. We ordered our drinks, and took in the sights of this massive place. It's a really cool place and we were glad we found it.

    I never knew about Starbucks Reserves until this year and luckily I happened to come across this one while on vacation. They have a cool bar with a menu of coffee drinks that you won't find at a regular Starbucks. I tried the Starbucks Reserve Iced Hazelnut Bianco Latte; for iced coffee lovers, you need to try this! It has a nutty flavor, perfect sweetness, and the flavor from the reserve espresso is unreal. The location is in downtown Birmingham, very busy, but service was great.

    It's a long wait inside. No spots to sit at all. Half of the folks are inside pretending to study, maybe 1/4 are actually studying. Peppermint mocha with oat milk. $6+ for a large peppermint mocha. Tastes decent. It looks cooler than other Starbucks, but it's all the same.

    This is probably my favorite Starbucks in the state. It's a very cozy place, with tables and chairs spaced out and a fireplace too! It does get quite busy due to its close location to downtown Birmingham. Don't fret, however! Drinks are always made promptly and properly. Baristas have always been nothing but kind. I highly recommend the Starbucks Reserve Iced Hazelnut Bianca Latte! It tastes nutty and similar to Nutella. Not too sweet, but very tasty. I believe this is the only location in the state that has this offering so give it a try! Mobile ordering is easy here as well. Thankfully there's a large pick up area!

    Everyone at this location is so friendly and did a great job keeping distance while wearing their masks. Being my first time at this store, the barista was very helpful and knowledge. Got the iced hazelnut Bianco latte, which I was expecting it to taste like the hazelnut syrup but pleasantly surprised at the nutty flavor. I typically don't get sugar in the drinks I order because it's way too sweet for my taste but the sugar was in the form of a paste they mix in with whole milk, so it didn't taste very sweet to me. The drink also came in a plastic cup that can be reused again, which is a plus! There was some construction so parking could be challenging during the week, but parking is free on Sundays, so it wasn't too difficult to find a spot. Will definitely be back!

    I'm loving these Starbucks Reserves! We came in the evening and there were many others sitting here chatting or on their computers. It's a very open space and cozy. There's a fireplace in here! I got the peach tranquility tea, which is my absolute favorite. My older sis wanted matcha with soy. And my other sister got the hazelnut Bianca latte. It was cool that the baristas took the time to do latte art. They even do pour overs here and you can even watch them get actual grounds to tamp! Wow! They really take their time to make quality coffee. Would love to visit another one of these in another city!

    As a first time patron of this Reserve location I was impressed by the coziness and lodge feeling of the decor. The fire place is a plus for ambiance and there are plush chairs to chill on by the heat. The location is very large and I look forward to going back here to sit and do work or read,etc.

    Ok I let a year go by after the three previous experiences and returned this week to try the "Reserve Bar" experience. (This is the only one in the Detroit area I believe) It's still not entirely clear how it works... you are supposed to order from the Reserve menu if you're sitting at the Reserve Bar.. of you want your regular latte, you get in line like all the other Starbucks. But almost every seat at the Reserve Bar was taken by students with laptops who were drinking out of the regular coffee to-go cups... So that's benefit number one though: very cool to-go plastic cup and lid with my cherry nitro brew! See pic below... very very good drink and my new fave so I will be back. (No options..not sold anywhere else, lol). And it was only $5 which is what I spend on anything from the regular menu and this came with sit-down barista service... so it's actually a better deal. (Yes I left s sit-down barista tip... not just a buck in the cup like up front)

    It's nice to have a small Starbucks reserve close by as I like to switch it up and go to this elevated Starbucks every once and a while. The decor on the inside is nice and homey. Their reserve drinks are definitely a little bit better than your standard Starbucks drink. This is a cool place to sit down and get some work done, but if you want a spot, you need to be there early as it gets pretty busy! Space wise it is quite large for a Starbucks, but seating is limited. Parking is usually street parking unless you want to park at a nearby lot. Definitely worth a try and a nice way to change it up from the usual Starbucks.

    Loved our coffee dining in experience here - very different from the original reserve in Seattle but a fantastic additional to Michigan! A great place to sit with a book or hang with friends. While the Starbucks Reserve in Seattle does not serve "regular" Starbucks drinks - this one does!

    As many other have already stated, this new space is beautiful and much larger than a typical Starbucks. There is plenty of space to come in and relax, chat with a friend or even do some work. On my visit I snagged a spot at the bar. I like the bar concept, the barista comes over and takes your order rather than standing in a line. I was provided a menu to browse and the barista offered to answer any questions I had. I went with a Vanilla Creme Anglaise Macchiato. I almost didn't order this because I was afraid it would be too sweet. Surprisingly it wasn't sweet at all and you got more of the lemon and cinnamon flavors. When you're staying there to enjoy your beverage it is serviced in a real mug rather than a paper to go cup and mine came on a cute tray with the water I ordered. I enjoyed the fact that they had a range of sized starting at 8oz and going up. 8oz was the perfect size for an afternoon pick me up. In addition to interesting latte and macchiato flavors you won't find at a typical Starbucks location, they also offer affogato (ice cream and coffee) and flights of coffee which sounded very interesting. All in all I enjoyed my experience.

The nuns are welcoming and happy to answer your questions. There's a good selection of sweet and savory selections. My companions enjoyed a mushroom crepe and apple pie. Being GF the selection was limited to two kinds of cake and creme brulee which is not my ideal choice for breakfast. Just keep that in mind if you have dietary restrictions. Otherwise everything was tasty. There are also religious souvenirs/gifts sold on premises as well as some food items such as jams and pickles.

Lots of pastry items on display, packaged cookies, religious section too. The bakery goods and pastries don't look so good in person. Took a pass. Grabbed a small green tea (Steep) and a large oat milk latte. Their large coffee comes with two espresso shots, added one more shot. $11.77 All ingredients are organic. The green tea is super hot, really needs two sleeves. Took the top off to cool down the scalding water some. My husband said his oat milk latte isn't so good, he said he's good if we never come back at all. He was confused how a simple drink could come out so badly. My green tea tastes like Lipton, no hint of green tea flavoring to me.

We've been here several times on the weekend (even with the kids). The line is never too long, although it can look long but it moves quickly. All the pastries are in the refrigerated case or sitting atop of the counter for you to ogle and salivate at while you patiently wait to give your order. Everything we've tried has been delicious, almost too decadent from the cakes to croissants to sandwiches. We've also had their coffees and hot chocolate. Can't go wrong with a handcrafted beverage to warm you up or cool you down. They do provide a water carafe on the house you just have to go up and get water yourself either way the cups provided. There is a side register near the exit, not sure if that's just for coffee or pickups. Haven't investigated that yet. They have some seating inside of tables and bar seating but nothing more the a 2-3 seats per table, not a place for a large group. Outside on the patio they have large umbrellas and heat lamps depending on the weather. It's also better luck to find a table that can accommodate 4 outside, although the tables are small cafe tables to it's a little cramped for 4, perfect for 2-3. They have low and high top tables available. If you do have a larger group, there is a park a block and a half up Eton that has picnic tables and benches so you can always take your treasures to go and enjoy some people watching at the park. Ample parking is available in the lot just make sure you go in the correct driveway at the north end since it's a one way in/out situation.
