SEATTLE ROASTERY DESIGN

Unreasonable passion drove us as we obsessed over every aspect of this space, from the coffees to the roasters to the custom-designed pneumatic tubes that usher the beans through the building.

Main Bar

Let our coffee masters suggest the perfect drink for you. Pull up a seat at our main bar and enjoy a brewed coffee or espresso drink made with our rarest, freshest coffee beans. The bar itself is a work of art, manufactured and handcrafted in New York of solid teak and stone marble. A beautiful spot to stop, sip and savor.

HANDPICKED AT THE ROASTERY

From the irreverent to the aspirational, these are our favorite finds—pieces we’d love to give, gifts we’d love to get. In curating this collection, we are driven by the same curiosity that leads us to some of the world’s more extraordinary coffees. We love these little discoveries. And we especially love sharing them with you.

Locally manufactured from hand-hammered copper, this massive copper cask is where all Starbucks Reserve coffee beans go to rest and de-gas after roasting. This ensures peak flavor is reached before we package the beans or move them the short distance to the coffee bar. Note: We perforated the cask so that light shining through it illuminates a world map across the Roastery floor.
