This isn’t your average Starbucks, folks.  This location is a coffee lover’s paradise that elevates the typical Starbucks experience to something truly special.

What makes it worth visiting is the theatrical coffee experience – baristas use innovative brewing methods like siphon, Clover, and pour-over right before your eyes. The space itself is gorgeous, with soaring ceilings, warm wood finishes, and design elements that pay homage to both coffee culture and the historic building it calls home.

Beyond the standard menu, you’ll find exclusive Reserve coffees sourced from small-batch farms worldwide that you simply can’t get at regular locations. Their food menu is also upgraded, featuring fresh-baked Italian-inspired pastries from Princi bakery that pair perfectly with their specialty drinks.

The location can’t be beat – right in the Empire State Building, making it perfect for a rejuvenating break during sightseeing or shopping along Fifth Avenue. Yes, it might be pricier than your neighborhood Starbucks, but the unique coffee offerings, beautiful ambiance, and the chance to experience coffee as an art form make it well worth the splurge.
