The Starbucks Reserve Roastery (or simply the Seattle Roastery) is a Starbucks location in Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington. Located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood,[1] the operation is part of the company's Starbucks Reserve program. The location has been described as Starbuck's "flagship Reserve Roastery", and workers at the site have unionized.[2][3]

Thrillist has called the roastery an "absolute playground for coffee lovers", offering "an immersive experience in how Starbucks sources, roasts, and crafts their beverages".[4] According to the website, the location has a "library with more than 200 titles on coffee, fresh-baked Italian fare, local Fran's Chocolates and coffee pairings, as well as coffee-inspired cocktails. Here, you can also explore the entire roasting process, learn about different brew methods, and take a deep dive on the coffee's unique origin stories."[4]
History[edit]
The roastery occupies a building originally constructed during the 1920s, in an area historically referred to as "Auto Row" because of the many car dealerships which have operated nearby.[4] Starbucks opened the roastery in December 2014.[5]
Workers at the site filed for a union election in February 2022.[6] Workers organized a strike in June 2023.[7]
