Why you should visit the Starbucks Coffee Theater in New York

We all know about Starbucks, have tried its coffee and most likely visited several locations of this coffee shop in New York. But few people know that the city has a unique Starbucks Reserve Roastery NYC. There you can not only drink coffee (by the way, from today they offer sensational coffee with olive oil), but also watch the process of roasting beans or go on an interesting coffee tasting tour.

The stunning and fully interactive Starbucks Reserve Roastery NYC spans over 2,000 square meters at 61 9th Ave. There are three bars where you can taste different types of coffee: the main bar, the Arriviamo Bar upstairs (with cocktails) and the Experience Bar below.

Since it’s still a Starbucks, the main bar serves coffee with Italian pastries and sandwiches from the Princi bakery. But that’s not what Starbucks Reserve Roastery NYC is really for. It goes much deeper into the culture of coffee and entertainment.

Starbucks Reserve offers a selection of the rarest, most unusual coffees Starbucks has to offer. It is here that a unique roast is developed for each individual variety. And then they experiment with coffee as an art form – brewed, aged, infused and mixed, creating fantastic and often amazing creations.

Starting at 10:00 here you can visit the Arriviamo Bar, which serves cocktails containing coffee or tea, created by mixologist Giulia Momose. Only here for you the bartender will prepare a cocktail of espresso, apple brandy, vanilla extract and whipped cream brewed in amaretto. And this is just one of the many unique drinks at Starbucks Reserve.
