Since their 1971 beginnings in Seattle, Starbucks has grown into a worldwide chain and a household name. And a few years ago, the company went in a bold new direction, opening the Starbucks Roastery and Tasting Room right in their “hometown” of Seattle. And despite the fact that they just opened a somewhat similar roastery in Shaghai, there truly is no other place like this one in the world.

The impressive Starbucks Reserve Roastery & Tasting Room opened in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood in December 2014.

The Roastery was meant to be a celebration of where the company had been and where it was going.
The interior is a coffee lover's dream.

At the impressive Scoop Bar, you'll have your choice of fresh beans to take home.
