Oct 15, 2017While I dont actually have a baseline for a high-end coffee shop to compare this to yet, the experience exceeded expectations. The baristas were very friendly. Brooke, in particular, beautifully showcased the siphon method of brewing (as well as the pour over); she was very knowledgeable of the product and of the brewing methods, and she was a delight the whole time! Ashley, too, was very polite and friendly. Overall, the coffee was delicious, the space was clean, the staff was professional, and the experience was invigorating (that may also be due to the caffeine). Thanks, Starbucks Reserve Birmingham.
Honestly love that we are fortunate enough to have a reserve here in Michigan. Always a great selection and very helpful and friendly baristas. Would recommend trying an Iced Hazelnut Bianca (get the venti)!
My husband and I went in today and we had the worst service at a Starbucks possible. While we were waiting in line, one of the women who was calling out names gave us the nastiest look. I went to sit down while my husband ordered. 15 mins go by and those who ordered after us had their drinks first. So I tell my husband to go up and see if our drinks are there. Low and behold, they are there and have been there. If you can’t pronounce our names, say the drink names loudly, like you were the other names. Everyone’s name was being announced in a manner that could be heard, except ours. Not only that, we were given the wrong cake pops and she grabbed the bags from my husband with attitude once he told her. I was no longer comfortable sitting there. We left shortly after. As excited as I was about visiting a reserve location, I’ll be hesitant visiting this one.
StarbucksWelcoming staff. Happy to see that the place is almost back to pre covid days.
Place looks nice. It feels cool to be there.Rude staff member:One server was super rude and did not want to take milk needs serious (lactose intolerant guest with us). To be fair, another server was actually pretty cool.Coffee is not good:Coffee is better than normal Starbucks but that is not saying much: it is still nowhere near independent coffee shop standards, even though the price is about the same.
Love the dark chocolate mocha ❤️
Great service! Beautiful location. Restrooms can use more attention.
Love the atmosphere. Could use more seating. The nitro cold brew was very tasty 😊.
I️ got the cold brew malt. Extremely good! Some of the comments say it was slow. I️ thought it was reasonable being what the Starbucks Reserve actually is. I’ve been to one in LA and just as good there and same amount of wait time.Highly recommended.
This place is just too much. Not a relaxing place for a cuppa joe at all. Its big, has poor sound proofing, and is not a place to hang out in. Sorry. Do not like loud trendy and hard surfaced places but that seems the way Starbucks is going. I wont be going there except under sufferance.
Good coffee. But the dine in area is out of control. Cannot get a seat anywhere as the as the place is crowded with teens everywhere not even having a drink and putting up there shoes on the table.
Your basic Starbucks. Very displeased that they shift their operating hours so frequently.
Miclo was very nice and sweet but Victoria the store manager was so rude she need some manners 😡😞
I absolutely love coming to this Starbucks! The workers are so polite and efficient. Ashley was an excellent Barista. She was very knowledgeable and was so nice to us. Would definitely go back soon.
So crowded..not enough staff to accommodate the eager people who want to buy over priced coffee. It was just a bunch of people waiting around. I would go some where eles.
I had the Reserve Hazelnut Latte! Sweet and rich! The way I like it!
Mobile orders are taking forever, up to 45 mins-you’re better off ordering in store. I came back twice and my mobile still was not ready. Also-I do not like the mobile order set up where everyone is able to breathe/cough on my drink bc it is not behind any plexi. Do better.
Fantastic service and coffee! Would be 5, but they had nothing but the basic array of brews, which for a Reserve is kind of bizarre (for context, they had at least 3 specialty brews every time I was here before).
We love Starbucks, staff is always helpful..
An extremely friendly Starbucks right in the heart of Birmingham. Being a reserve location, they do carry some drinks that you wont find at other locations. The have tables inside and outside. The closest parking structure is only 100ft away and it is free for the first 2 hours.
This Reserve location is beautiful. Contemporary-Cozy design. Very comfortable. People are knowledgeable. Baristas rock those orders out!
Very cozy atmosphere, great place to grab a coffee and study or cuddle up with a book
I miss the time when we can stay inside the store and drink coffee without worrying about covid. The staff always know the story behind the reserved coffee, so professional. Even with covid they stay clean and energetic that gives people positiveness.
They get two stars because the service was outstanding (otherwise it would be zero stars). Best I’ve had when going into Starbucks the few times. However, the coffee reserve was a slightly less bitter version of their standard and therefore horrible. I was intrigued by the environment and the knowledge of the staff but in the end, it’s still just Starbucks. If you appreciate coffee, don’t waste your time here.
The pistachio latte was very good. The service was a bit slow however, would recommend.
Understaffed with long wait for pick up beverages. At least a 25 minute wait this morning, had to leave before drink ready. Apparently people know this and order far in advance with 15 to 20 drinks waiting to pick up.
Quick service, gorgeous space and good selection.
They have made such great adaptations during the last few months. The baristas here go the extra mile. It gets BEYOND BUSY in the mornings and weekends but the cheery baristas always try to make the moment right. They are as fast as they can be and they always try to make the drink right. They don’t just slop drinks together, it takes dedication and passion and alot of coffee knowledge to work these espresso machines and these coffee nerds have it down! They know all of the recipes! I have come here so many times over the years I am always greeted and my drinks have always tasted amazing! The reserve coffees are amazing. Id budget a little extra time when coming here just because the volume of drinks sometimes it takes awhile to get your coffee, everything is made in the order it is received but 5/5 would recommend!!
Large selection of small brew coffee alongside the classic Starbucks menu. The interior is styled differently but its for the better. Seating room is VERY limited so if you have work to do I suggest you get there in advance.
One of the Best Starbucks! ALWAYS exceptional service and most importantly delicious drinks! I have never had (or heard anyone in my company) ever complain about a mistaken order - amazing! Also immaculately clean & cozy environment. Wonderful friendly crowd (often find patrons conducting meetings, students studying, groups chatting, & many individuals reading). Though its full, never overcrowded & we have always managed to find seats. Parking might be challenging, but its a great location to walk around (downtown Birmingham is a hidden gem). Enjoy!
Obviously my favorite place to have coffee and also the staff is great!
This Starbucks has so much potential but is very poorly operated.There are always 7-8 employees running around behind the counter BUT NOT serving customers.The wait lines are 8-10 people deep and it is always 15-20 mins before the order is ready, even when ordered ahead by mobile app.This store needs management that is customer ficused and prioritizes efficient and fast service.As much as I like visiting Starbucks, I dont want to have to wait 15-20 mins watching employees do what amounts to nothing.
The staff were very friendly and the coffee is good too. Unfortunately, as of today, Origin coffee flights are not available, but they expect to bring them back.
Best Starbucks to ever Starbucks! The baristas not only know me by name but they know my order and I never have to wait! I am always greeted by smiling faces and my day is made every morning by the staff here! 10/10 recommend if you want excellent customer service, thanks B-Ham Starbucks staff you guys are the best.
I’m literally obsessed with this Starbucks. I haven’t gone this summer because of COVID, but last summer we went like every weekend. gets busy on weekends which is understandable, the drinks are amazing as well as the interior and there is a water bowl for dogs in the front outside! wish they’d bring back the affogato though
This is just a truly beautiful Starbucks. It does not feel like a starbucks like we are used to. There is literally an experience for everyone here. The use of space is brilliant and it has a restaurant feel. You can tell that the baristas have a much more comprehensive training. But being a Reserve based place, I expect the food to be a little more elevated as well. Maybe in the future?
Never been here and it not take forever. Last few times I had to ask them where my drink was. Each time it appeared there was confusion on their end and people we’re looking at each other as to who was supposed to do what. Half and half is empty more times than not. On top of their gross inefficiency, you can count on at least one employee being in foul mood and you are to blame. Ps. I don’t order anything other than coffee.
Okay so, I actually really like Starbucks in general, and my boyfriend and I were really looking forward to checking out the seemingly almost-mythical Reserve. Sadly we were underwhelmed with the experience. Reserve selection was very small/limited...definitely did not meet our expectations. The ambiance is just okay, really. The large open-air windows were nice, but the electric/faux fireplace just seemed like overkill, especially in mid-June. The place had a kind of Starbucks-Chipotle-every hipster whisky bar sort of feel to it, honestly. Also, its metered parking only. Glad we checked it out, but probably wouldnt go back.
Black Dark Roast. Yes. Good staff, clean place.
Ive gone to some coffee places and had a hard time getting the person taking my order to look at me, let alone exhibit customer service. Not this place. I ordered a latte on my phone and had to wait a five extra minutes upon arriving at the store due to some complications with the espresso machine.One of the baristas came up to me and gave me a gift card for my wait, checked on me multiple times, and even asked if I wanted something else while I was waiting. She apologized multiple times for the longer wait, as did the lady who prepared my drink. They were phenomenal in checking in on me and ensuring I was good to go. Just for a cup of coffee.Customer service may be dead. But its still very much alive at this Starbucks.
It’s snowing and crazy cold weather, 32 degrees outside. However, it feels as cold inside the place. All the customers keep their jackets on!! Is it a new strategy to force people to shorten their stay which makes room for new potential customers and higher turnover as a result??!! The worst experience ever. My back and shoulders are freezing.N.BDon’t try hot chocolate it tastes everything but chocolate, smh!
If you like Starbucks as much as I do, you probably have already visited the reserve store. If you have not, then you are in for a real treat....literally. Great reserve store only drinks, included with the great atmosphere. The fireplace is fantastic on s cold winter day with your coffee or hot coco.. my advice....go and you will not only enjoy, youll be back...as as Arnold would say
Great place, friendly staff with coffee you can only find at this location. I am a huge fan of their special espresso roast and they have specific drinks that are only made at the coffee bar, not to mention they have the cold brew nitro coffee. To my knowledge this is the only one in Michigan and well worth the trip.
I love the atmosphere of this place. Im just really sad they no longer have the ice cream and coffee because that was so delicious. I also wish they had more on their menu thats not at the normal Starbucks. I ordered a hazelnut bianco latte though and throughly enjoyed that. 👌🏼
Best Starbucks in all the land.
The reserve coffee was good but even on Monday, it was very crowded.
From different brewing methods to small lot, limited offering coffees, this store is an amazing adventure into the realm of coffee. On top of the same offerings as your typical Starbucks, you can also expect a separate menu for the Reserve Bar side, including seated service at the bar area. There is no alcohol served, but there are handcrafted beverages to delight the palate. Try the Hazelnut Bianco latté made with a milk they make in-house. Yes, they have nitro cold brew! The staff there is incredible and will help with with your journey.
Amazing! Visiting Detroit and I am extremely impressed with this Starbucks Reserve. This is the first Reserve I have been to and it definitely lives up to its name. Great location, great staff and great coffee. Please open more!
This Starbucks Reserve has a very hip and fresh atmosphere. Its also very comfortable and accommodating. And, it is in a great location on the corner of Old Woodward & Maple. Overall just a really great spot.
Hazelnut Bianco is worth this slightly elevated remix of the coffee chain we all know. Starbucks Reserve has small batch whole beans on a rotating menu among other delectable selections not available at other locations. They drove me to buy my own siphon at home, because of how mezmerizingly they prepare it for you in store. One of lifes simple pleasures is watching a barista more skilled than your venti vanilla frapp variety from another lowly chain branch expertly craft a siphoned coffee like coffee meets Walter White. You owe it to yourself to indulge in the subtle citrus and chocolate aromatics of a tenderly cared for and intelligently experimented cuppa.
This Birmingham location is one of my favorites, the layout is the cherry on top to your reserve coffee experience.
Its almost hard to explain how awesome this Starbucks is. Everyone is so nice, knowledgeable, and passionate about coffee. They enjoy their jobs and that shows. They also offer a variety of brewing methods. Share a Chemex with your bestie or take a few minutes to watch a syphon brew after asking for a recommendation on the variety of coffee used.
Get it together! 3 drinks in front of me made wrong...redone. drinks missed...slower than molasses service...if you think the Reserve new up the street is going to make it...better get the operations figured out first. Love having you in Birmingham... service not as expected here.
Cannot describe the experience. Staff were so kind, knowledgeable, and friendly. Thanks Starbucks!!
Ill preface this review with this one stipulation that must be gotten out of the way first: If ever you have to use the restrooms, then you must get in line. Expect to see five people and to be the final one. I was in that such line behind four other guys, and I asked a young man before me whether there was only one restroom, and an older man (well, older than the guy I asked, but also younger than I) said no, there are two, but theyre both occupied.I finally got inside the leftward restroom, and instantly saw what I liked: Dyson Airblades! The Somerset Collection formerly had these in various restrooms, but no longer. You stick your hands between these blades, and they blow hot air at the speed of, say, a hurricane. Slowly run your hands back and forth between the blades, and your hands are dry in almost no time.Now lets talk about the interior of the place: spectacularly gorgeous. Its spacious, compared to the other location of Starbucks just south of Maple, which was very cozy.And I did like that place, but this location, the Reserve version, is the bees knees. It resembles a lounge, moreso than an actual coffeehouse. There are several leather chairs with small tables in accompaniment; at least two tables with a pair of chairs; a big table with four chairs; and barside chairs where the Baristas work at.And heres MY favorite section: a long wallside leather seat with four tables. Id rather sit at either end, because there are flat boards on both sides, whereon you can place your drink, or phone, or both, thus making more room on the table.Furthermore, there are plug outlets wherein you can either charge your phone or plug in your laptop computer. But I have to tell you: Youd have to hit the floor, hit the floor, going low, low, low, low, low, low in order to get to them---at the base below your seat. (Sorry, Flo Rida!)On those same outlets are two bigger rectangular holes, for your wi-fi service. At least I hope thats correct. Im trying to be helpful, and Id hate to be wrong thereabout as a matter of service.Finally, I saw on their menu on their wall near the order section that they serve ice cream. I didnt get to order any yet, but I will on my next visit there. I plan to patronize the place more often.I just hope it doesnt get too crowded beforehand.
I was a weekly patron at the previous Starbucks across the street. The new Reserve trades efficiency for swankiness and Im not convinced its a worthwhile trade. Yes, its less drafty inside. The old location was cramped near the pickup area but it was cozy. The service here is improving.
Usually super duper fast. The line does get crazy at certain times though. If you use the starbucks app to get stars and whatnot.. use it to order and you can skip the entire line. Clean, friendly staff. Great stsrbucks.
It is one of my favorite Starbucks in the area. Obviously its not like the one in Chicago, but it does have unique options.
Second Reserve store Ive visited (first in Toronto) Excellent service and coffee as expected. Had a pour over with the Pink Bourbon. There is a separate kiosk at the Reserve section, so yo can skip the standard line. Pic is current Reserve coffee lineup as of Nov 14th 2018
Coffee quality is great!
Don’t bother placing an online order, you’ll still wait 20 minutes for your drink and when you ask how long they need they’ll say they’re working on it, 15 min later nothing.
This location deserves nothing more than average rating. A few surly employees but overall they try their best. Long lines often in morning. Number of on line orders from local businesses can result in long waits. Space is small for number of clients ...as a result can be dirty at times
Horrible!!! I went in today to the 135 S. Old Woodward Birmingham,MI 48009 location in downtown Birmingham and ordered a Venti Salted Caramel Frappuccino with soy milk, no whip, all the toppings that come with that drink and caramel drizzle inside the cup. The guy rang me up correctly, but the girl who made my drink made it wrong!!! I stood there and watched her and before she made the first mistake, I caught her and told her to put caramel drizzle in the cup before she poured the drink in the cup. She didnt and put xtra thick caramel that comes with that drink instead. She and four people that work there kept telling me that the company changed the caramel and its a different texture. Meanwhile, Im standing there looking at the correct caramel that I ordered and paid extra for in a bottle sitting on the counter!!! Are they not seeing what Im seeing??? Are the workers idiots??? Yes and yes!!! I explained that Im not stupid and the caramel drizzle that I want in my cup is right there on the counter. The girl who made my drink was rude, nobody there understood what I was talking about and didnt remake my drink. I cant stand stupid people and dont understand how they exist in this world. All in all horrible customer service.
The building is absolutely amazing. Modeled after the Roastery in Seattle, there is copper and terracotta everywhere.Being able to see the baristas and chat with them about the care they put into their drinks as well as their passions is awesome.This is the only place in Michigan with drinks like the Hazelnut Bianco, cold brew malts, and house affogatos.It can get busy, but the staff is always willing to chat and make the wait seem like less.All in all, if you love Starbucks, or coffee in general, you need to check it out.
Wonderful variety of Reserve coffees and was able to relax and connect with a barista for a couple hours. Had long conversation about the store and spoke about each others favorite coffee.
The best Starbucks in Michigan! Keely is so bubbly and fun she makes coming in the best experience every time!
I absolutely love this store! There always very kind and personable. I’m not a coffee drinker but the coffee from here always tastes great! I always try to stop here whenever I’m in the area.
I love starbucks but this morning I ordered a venti frap and the barista made a Grande when I point it out she said that you actually paid for a Grande. I thought it was rude. I dont mind paying put thats what I ordered and they should pay attention on what I order in the first place. After waiting for the cashier to return and charge the different i just gave her 2$ and left.
S-L-O-W...if your in a hurry dont come here. Guys are all polite tho. And they know how to make tea just the way you want it. Downtown being in the mess its in dont walk in heels on the side walks. I was walking with my berks and I wasnt happy.
First time visiting a Starbucks Reserve. Although Im not sure I fully appreciate the added options, it seemed like other people did. Great staff! Super friendly.
There restaurant is Very Clean! Compared to others...
Very pricey coffee and not the best quality or tasting and then they never have the lemon cake theyre always Out… N if I dont get my lemon cake bite 8:00 a.m. do usually out So why doesnt the manager realized that and order more lemon cakes because you could make more money its not brain surgery.. And I have mentioned it several times to the people by and they counter but they just dont listen And at this point of the conversation I hope the owners reading this...
Exceptional customer service!
My dark chocolate mocha, iced with coconut milk was amazing!! Though an extra dollar charged for coconut milk on a grande seemed excessive.
Amazing coffee and excellent baristas. They werent super busy so the baristas took their time to talk to us and answer any questions that we had.
They have a great rotation bean selection available for espresso.
Great place to chill or sit down and enjoy coffee after a quick run through downtown Birmingham or the neighborhood area. Nice staff and always is reliable Wi-Fi. Also great environment for getting work done!
Whaaaat on eeeearth?! Who knew you could have so many options at starbucks! Its like anything I order is off the secret menu! All the workers are super cool too!Go have your mind blown.
It was an amazing experience! The staff was helpful. They all spoke clearly so everyone who was waiting could easily define what drink and name!
Got my drink order wrong, but whatever. Has good aesthetics.
The baristas are friendly, interesting clientele. I dont want this to sound facetious, but its awesome that they allow homeless people a warm place to stay warm on these bitter cold mornings
The best environment, the best service, the best products, good vibration, awesome architectural... what else?
If you never been at one of these starbucks then it is your lost haha
If you can manage to find a parking space anywhere, it’s well worth the stop!! I love the nitro cold brew ice cream floats!
I love this place! The staff is amazing and the drinks are really special. Not your average SB which is a nice improvement over the normal.
The inside was nice but the service was kinda trash took like 15 mins for 2 Fraps
This Starbucks is so cozy inside! I enjoyed sipping my coffee by the fireplace and the service was excellent! I will stop in again when I am in town.
Everyone in here, staff and guests alike are fantastic! I work here often and sometimes for up to a few hours at a time. They are always welcoming and ready to serve!
They literally served everyone that came in after us. Were still waiting. Like. Every single person after us and our orders arent even complicated :///
Great store!! Workers are very informative, professional, and really want you to enjoy your experience there.
They did not allow me to purchase vanilla syrup. They indicated that they never sell it to customers. I have purchased all of our syrups from this location .... and I have purchased VANILLLA I been purchasing from this location for several years. I will voice my complaint with the corporate office. Extremely rude and I will not buy anything from this location
Baristas were very nice, I got a simple iced chai. They are clean and I have no complaints other than there wasnt enough seeting but what can they do about that? Lol
Miss the Cosi that this replaced. Seeing it limited and always busy since its at the heart of B-Ham
Enjoyed the new Apple Machiatto with Caramel crunch and whipped cream.
Best coffee ever
Not so great. Took forever. Forgot to make 1 of my drinks. Got both drinks wrong. Could not wait around to fix. To expensive for mess ups!
I like the atmosphere of this place... I was able to quietly work for a few hours when visited this place for buisness.
Clean and it the cutest area. There are no beggers here from what I can tell, not sure about that others review. From the Chi and this area is way safe. Would def come again.
Bad service and rude staff. Had a better experience at Birmingham roast down the street.
Vile. They allow for non service dogs to hang out here and bark. Im apauled . I come here to enjoy the high end reserve element and this disgusts me. Next thing theyll be letting it run around and have its own bowl.
It is a small Starbucks but very friendly and professional. Yes, people are always sitting outside side and asking for money, however, the community is giving.They are moving soon to a new location so the place will be bigger.
Good drinks but extremely slow. Another patron left without waiting any longer for their order. No online ordering.
Out of LITERALLY EVERYTHING I ordered. Other than that, very cool spot if you can get a seat. Usually pretty crowded.
I love this new Starbucks. It is very unique compared to all the other Starbucks locations. This is an improvement over the old location.
This has to be the nicest Starbucks Ive ever been into. Very fast service nice selection
Overrated. I did mobile order took a long time. Bagel had no cream cheese as I requested. Whats the point to mobile order if they dont do it right.
Big and nice store, but hope waiting time will be better.
Great coffee and place to work if you can find a seat but not a ton of outlets
Google, where did you get the dumb udea i went there? Terrible coffee and even worse k cups. Havent bothered with the esspresso but mostly because i brew now...
I visit this Starbucks every time I visit Michigan and absolutely love it and its exclusive Starbucks Reserve cups, super cute!
Awesome drinks, very fast. However, car parking outside is rough because you can only park for 1 hour.
A most comfortable space, with a roaring fire in the fireplace!
I don’t like the coffee specialties. I think a local roast does a much better job providing a good drink.
One of my favorite Starbucks. The staff is great and it is always got a good crowd. Nitro is awsome
Great place to have an espresso right next to a disgusting homeless person. Great job Starbucks.
Great place right downtown! The reserve drinks are good. My favorite would be the hazelnut Bianco latte!
An excellent experience. Not your average Starbucks. Wonderful batista bar and customer experience...
Seems to always be busy but Ive never met a Starbucks I didnt like. Except the slow one on 8 mile.
One of the worst latte Ive ever had. They were out of a lot of items. The drinks took a long time even though the store was not that busy.
Worst experience every, they messed up my sons drink and treated us poorly.
Its a starbucks you know what your getting! Staff is great coffee is standard but WiFi is sadly slow -1 star
Solid fr
I understand there is new rules do to covid, but that doesnt mean you need to be rude, this place turned 360 from how it used to be, very disappointed
Got an iced tea and breakfast sandwich. Fairly busy but wait was not long.
My fav Starbucks place! Great location and the atmosphere is really nice
Polite and happy employees. The Starbucks Reserve has great atmosphere
Pretty nice, handled customers well... Just a long wait for mobile orders today
Nice place just another sorrybucks serving over roasted coffee beans till they burn.
Its a gorgeous store, but the Reserve Coffee wasnt worth the extra money.
Fancy, tasty coffee, but the baristas were amazing. Very willing to learn me in some haut cafe.
Alex makes the best Reserve latte..Thanks Man. Enjoy hanging out here...good people and good vibes.
Nice coffee shop, good ambience, but no parking facilities as it is located in town center.
Nice spot, great location. But very disappointed its only open until 9pm. For being in a downtown city location thats disappointing.
The microbrews are amazing! Cool place to go check out and get good coffee!
Love the location...needs better use of the space with more seating. Very long wait for coffee.
Great Starbucks, but very busy. Service is great and very roomy.
Not your typical Starbucks experience. Much more about the coffee and experience than just a grab and go coffee shop.
The place was great. Lots of variety, and a cute place to go. I enjoyed it.
Fancy and overpriced.Worse than usual: the few seats that some people book for the whole day.
Love it here! The reserve blend coffee is game changer!
Great service, good coffee, and excellent company! 💯✌🏼😎
Excellent customer service - such a friendly, warm and fast staff!! Very impressed!!
Great seats and amazing service. Mmmmmm coffee and great pastries
I love this place, but it closes much too early. 9:30 on a Saturday night is way too early to close.
Makes all the other starbuckss look like Weenie Hut Jr* 😤👌💯
Hazelnut bianco all day erryy day! The atmosphere at this location is pretty neat.
Overpriced mediocre coffee, goofy names. Nice staff though.
Little too crowded. People sit for hours so you cant find open seating to have a meeting.
Great location! Enjoyed the atmosphere and coffee!
On my personal take, one of the best Starbucks worldwide.
Usual good stuff, but what happened to the rest of the menu?
Lovely place to spend your time with friends or read a book or work.Tried their green tea.
Most of all is the atmosphere. Would give it a 5 but seating is not the best
Typical Starbucks. Rather go to Townsend Bakery. Nicer staff
All other Starbucks’ need to take note from this location. Always on point even at 9AM on a Monday.
It was nice inside but they dont have white milk anymore
Great atmosphere and friendly staff, clean as whistle and fast service.
Had their special drink, malt chocolate latte, and it was really good!
So much better than regular starbucks.
Small, dirty, crowded, and people are always begging for money outside. You can do better, Starbucks.
Andy was Dandy! He was really cool and very helpful and knowledgeable.
This Starbucks will have you writing home to Momma.
I havent a bad experience at this Starbucks. So, a positive?
A little bit crowdy, I guess because of the holiday, other than that the place is fine and good
Friendly environment, great vibe 👌
Nice lively atmosphere, decent coffee.
Bianco latte is the best options in their menu, must be tried
There are three Starbucks at the Summer set mall. It is nice
Nice atmosphere, big and clean. Highly recommended!
Delicious location in Birmingham. I recommend very early mornings for reading especially.
New Starbucks Poor layout ,not Efficient .. waited 20 mins to get my coffee
Good frozen coffee drink, fast friendly service
Very nice place to drink your coffee and finish your homework or just talk to a friend...
The best location I recommend for you
Always friendly & you get order fast!!
A good place to go sit down with friends and catch up.
This was a great experience and my coffee was delicious.
Best place ever except I’d wish they’d bring back the Affogatto 😭😭
Limited Covid seating. Nice outdoor area.
Nice layout, polite baristas. Very clean.
Very busy, but quick service. Pleasant atmosphere.
Super friendly staff, lots of space, and nice interior.
I really enjoyed the environment. The staff was incredible!
Great coffee and service.
Special early to late night treat n drink
Love this place and Alex and Hanna are professional and so knowledgeable. Funny as well.
Nice staff, good food, good coffee.
Great staff and cool surroundings! Sara and Charles are great! :)
Great craft coffee in a relaxing space.

2021-11-23One of our most favourite Starbucks right in the heart of Birmingham Micighan. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. With them being a reserve location, they do carry some drinks that you wouldnt normally find at other Starbucks locations. Their reserve bar and seating area is so cool! They do have seating both inside and outside. A great spot for a coffee break if youre in Birmingham and in need of caffeine or a sweet treat.

2022-01-16This place is really neat, even though its pretty busy the staff has a great system and are able to keep drinks moving and people served. I really like the Reserve idea due to the difference in drink offerings.
Review №3
2022-03-24Shoutout Alex! He was kind and smart and knew the Starbucks product! He also served us our siphon experience which I highly recommend! Other employees wearing Master Barista aprons had no clue what they were doing and were incredibly rude. There was no place for our party to sit. And I asked if we could have one of the tables that the staff was using. And I was told no. I hope Alex is the manager!!!

2022-05-01Love this place. Being one of the 20 Starbucks Reserves in the United States, this Starbucks is unique. The coffee here is different from the normal Starbucks experience, and its a large place that is good for studying and spending time with your friends.I would definitely recommend stopping by.

2021-08-051 star for Columbian beans pour over. I just cant understand why it tastes worse than their regular coffee. Its extremely bitter. Has a really bitter and yaki aftertaste. It doesnt taste like good dark roast coffee.Its really watery and quite undrinkable which is really sad because I thought that yhey have Reserve title for a reason...

2022-05-07Bad experience. Mobile order, took long past estimate of wait. When I asked about my order nicely thinking someone had missed it, the guy rudely snapped at me. Do yourself a favor and go down the street to the local coffee house. Got a refund and walked down the street and got service with a smile. No apology or even comment when I told the girl at Starbucks why I wanted a refund. Go somewhere else!

2020-12-18Just what the world needs: another version of the standard regular old Starbucks; I guess the fact the baristas wear flannel makes a difference?? Nothing unique beverage-wise or food-wise. Heard about an affogato, but this location doesnt have ice cream. 😳 //Yawn// I drove 40 each direction to experience Reserve. Ha! I could have just driven through one of the 48 other stores I passed on the way.

2022-02-18Not a good place to come for a quiet atmosphere. hard to read or study in this particular location. the music is really loud and the chair/table set up is not made for good study spots. if you are just going for a nice coffee and leaving, obviously a cool place to check out in that regard.

2021-12-12This is not the Reserve that you read about in Chicago, Seattle and NYC, etc...dont let the name fool you. If youre looking for the variety of coffees, cocktails and merch that the Reserves have, youll need to go to Chicago.
