Starbucks Coffee Company has announced plans to open a new Starbucks Reserve location spanning 23,000 square feet and three floors at the iconic Empire State Building in New York City.
Starbucks Reserve Empire State Building, to open on Nov. 16, will be a one-of-a-kind destination that celebrates connecting over coffee through innovative coffee house experiences. The store will showcase the imagination of Starbucks with new and classic beverages crafted with Starbucks Reserve coffee, immersive and imaginative hands-on workshops and tasting flights, and an extensive menu of Princi shareable plates and entrees for all parts of the day.
The store will offer several brewing methods, keeping the theatre of coffee at the centre of the Starbucks Reserve experience. This location will also be the only store to offer beverages crafted with Cold Pressed Espresso, a patented brewing technology designed by the Starbucks Research and Development team that uses cold water and gentle, upward pressure to unlock a softer, sweeter espresso shot, similar to a slow-steeped cold brew.
Bringing together the skills of bartender and barista in a single art, the Starbucks Reserve Empire State Building store will also offer a full cocktail and mixology menu featuring classic and signature cocktails such as espresso martinis, and new coffee-inspired cocktails exclusive to the store.
Starbucks heritage in New York City dates to 1994 and the company has operated stores in the Empire State Building since 2008. New York City continues to be a place where Starbucks introduces new store concepts and offers a variety of experiences – from the first Starbucks Pickup store to the immersive Starbucks Reserve Roastery New York located in the Meatpacking district.
