Reserve stores? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Alicat-and-Quasar
I keep seeing all these yummy sounding drinks and cool cups at reserve stores only, so I looked up the closest one and went. It was just a regular Starbucks but they had a couple of bags of the reserve coffee beans. I couldn't even use my partner markout for it though. They had nitro but my store has nitro and wasn't on the list of reserve stores for the state.

How do I find a "real" reserve store? I'm looking for more than just some too-expensive-for-me beans. I know I could just call around but at least at my store everyone hates dealing with phone calls, not to mention I hate making them, and when I asked partners at the supposed reserve store they all said they had no idea. Even the SM said he didn't know anything about different stores having different drinks and merchandise. I just want to add that clear cup to my collection and try that ice cream cold brew drink!

In addition to the roasteries which the other person mentioned, there are also reserve bars that have what you are looking for: https://www.starbucksreserve.com/en-us/locations/reserve-bars

My boyfriend works at a reserve bar in Texas, so I know a bit about the store. They get rarer coffees in rotations (I think they change it up every 6 weeks or something), and you can use your markout for the previous rotations that they still have in stock, but not the current rotation. The best part about the reserve bars (in my opinion) is the special brewing methods that I haven't seen in any other starbucks (siphon, chemex, clover, black eagle, etc.) and the ice cream (which is to die for). The best ones are the cold brew malt and the affagato (ice cream+espresso)
