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!
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.
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)
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 new Starbucks Reserve opened on Friday in Birmingham and is the only Reserve store in the state as of yet - they're opening one in Detroit at the Book Cadillac hotel soon though. I'm not a coffee drinker, but my boyfriend is, so we stopped by today. He got one of the Nitro coffee drinks and I got a mint hot chocolate with soy milk. It was about $10 for both of those drinks, pretty pricey but there's usually an upcharge for soy milk, and the new Reserve drinks are a bit pricey too. There are a lot of nice sitting areas here if you are hanging out, we took our drinks to go but I would come back and meet friends here in the future. If you're a coffee drinker, I would definitely recommend stopping by and checking out the drinks that are specific to the Reserve Starbucks stores. The to-go cup they give you is reusable, as well.
Such a beautiful Starbucks! Spacious, with high ceilings, lovely wood decor, and a gorgeous fire place to keep us warm in winter. Ample seating, and very comfortable too. I was thrilled to be able to relax here with a friend, sip tea, and catch up. The ambiance is very welcoming and inviting. Excellent service. Very clean. I look forward to coming back here. read more

This place looks gorgeous, but who would expect anything less in Birmingham. Before you even order you have to take in the fact that you're actually at a Starbucks that looks like a brewery. I picked up a caramel macchiato for myself and and came back for Nitro Cold Brew for a friend. Service was very nice and they walk around the corner to actually hand you your drink, or at least they've done so with me, maybe I'm special. Either way everyone working seems friendly. I have to pass out bonus points for the fancy looking reusable to go cups. Planning on stopping by for a third time to try some of their flights. read more
Coffee lovers rejoice! I am beyond excited to have a Starbucks Reserve in Michigan. The Birmingham location will be a win as it is centrally located. There is a lot of outdoor seating available at this location. Upon walking in, there's a full bar with stools and a lot of extra space to hang out and do work. I was psyched to see the new nitro brews offered on tap. The pricing is higher here but the drinks are new and more sophisticated. They offer affogato (coffee with ice cream) and coffee floats. Check it out. I will definitely be back. I got the Nitro Cascara Cloud cold brew and it was light and smooth. The cups here are more substantial as well. They are reusable. read more
I am IN LOVE with this reserve starbucks. I have never been to one with the fancy cups and the fancy bar and the fancy EVERYTHING. I wish they had a fancy reserve in downtown cleveland. S/O STARBUCKS. Aha! Anyways, we arrived an hour before close and it was still alittle busy. Nothing crazy though. High ceilings and wood countertops, and a TON of merch and bags of coffee. Even the windows were from the floor to the ceiling, huge with grey curtains as well. HOW CUTE. It really flows together in here. There were two empty seats at the bar, don't mind iffff I doo! read more

Starbucks. Maybe it sounds so cliche in this era of the competitive coffee industry. BUT, this location with the 'SB reserve bar' brought me back my loyal to them. I've been many 'SB reserve bar' in NYC, Chicago etc. but I can say that this location is the best of the best. Spacious, Clean(even rest rooms are clean), Huge fireplace, art wall, friendly baristas.... Seating right next to the fireplace gives you relaxing moments. The sofas are super comfy! And sometimes they give you free samples of new menu. When you order at the R(reserve) bar, my recommendation is Hazelnut Bianco Latte.(Don't forget to tell your barista to make it less sweet) P.s Use your rewards at the SB reserve bar! read more

I really love this Starbucks reserve in Downtown Birmingham. The space itself is awesome and the selection here is fantastic. I'm more of a tea girl myself.. never disappointed in any of the teas I have tried here. The pastries are always fresh and they continually have new selections. For the coffee lovers there are many more options of nitro cold brew and Siphon brewer that isn't available in regular Starbucks stores. Great place to meet up with some friends or go to get some work done! read more

I've been wanting to come here for possibly longer than they've been even open. As an already basic Starbucks obsessed chick, this place was a huge must visit for me. I don't know why it took so long considering I frequent Birmingham often, but geez, it was so good. First off, as I write this review, Birmingham is slightly chaotic... and by slightly I mean it was an obstacle course to get to this Starbucks. The walk from our should have taken 5 minutes, it took about 10-15. We had fun though, it was like we kept trying to figure out how to get to each side SAFELY. We could see the Starbucks from every angle, but could not just walk directly to it. So be prepared for that if there's still construction going on. The drinks were well worth the hike. The place was beautiful and the employees were all amazing! So kind and friendly. Alex was our bartender/barista hybrid who helped us out at the Reserve Bar. He explained the cool drinks they have and provided great service. The prices were not crazy high or different than a regular Starbucks and the unique variety makes it really fun to try. I really wanted to sit there all day and just try every single thing on the menu, but I settled on The Melrose. It was yummy. Aside from the different drinks, you really get to enjoy this new experience, especially if you're really used to your everyday Starbucks. I know I will be coming back soon to get some work done over there or possibly just chill. read more

The Reserve gets 5 stars simply for the fact that they have Nitro Cold Brew which is still somewhat tough to find in my area of Michigan. I have been to the Reserve Roastery in Seattle and raved about that experience. This place was much of the same. A lot of unique drinks and sitting areas with a great ambience to the place. If you have not tried a Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew - you are missing out. Nitrogen infused cold brew that fountains like a stout beer. All of the creamy texture and flavor that gets pulled out is second to none in mouth feel. A new way to coffee! Give it a try at the Reserve. Great neighborhood and environment for your new favorite way to enjoy your cold brew. read more
SO glad that Starbucks reserve bar is around this area. I love the location and the atmosphere here. The baristas are quite helpful explaining the drinks. This place becomes my top choice of coffee shop for bringing out of town friends to visit. The baristas at the bar gave us some sample of cold brew and cold brew nitrous. So far we ordered and tried house affogato, cold brew malt, and cold brew float. Cold brew malt now becomes my favorite. I order this one every time we visit here. Tips: you can use your Starbucks reward for those reserve bar menu items! read more
