Chicago Starbucks Reserve Roastery

Address | 646 Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611

When you’re in Chicago chances are you’ll find yourself on Magnificent Mile for the shopping, dinning, and hotels. It’s the perfect location to plan a visit to the world’s largest Starbucks since 2019, the Chicago Starbucks Reserve Roastery. The food and beverage options of the Chicago Starbucks Reserve expend 4 spacious floors.

On the first floor you’ll find the Reserve Coffee Bar. Here you can order your beverage of choice and you’ll find cases filled with sweet temptations and baked goods. After being greeted with coffee and pastry samples, before you order I suggest you check out all you options. On the second floor you’ll find the Chicago Roastery Prince Bakery and Cafe. You can place your order to go or stay and enjoy your meal at a table overlooking Magnificent mile. In addition to pastries you’ll find the menu offers sandwiches, eggs, and oatmeal. If you have a bit of time, head to the third floor for the Chicago Roastery Experiential Coffee Bar. Here you can do a proper coffee tasting at the bar and it’s something I would like to try the next time we find ourselves in the Windy City. Finally, at the 4th floor you’ll find the Chicago Roastery Arriviamo Cocktail Bar. This seems like a fun spot for boozy brunch or after work drinks.

It was a work day for both my wife and myself, so we settled on the Princi Bakery and Cafe for a rather large breakfast. We ordered our go to Americano’s with oat milk, the oatmeal with berries, the shakshuka, and a couple of pastries. Everything was very tasty and the ambiance with the seating at windows elevated just over Magnificent Mile, while the snow fell made for a very nice breakfast.

After all that good food and coffee be sure to get in some steps! Chicago has a lot of great walking and running paths along the lake.
