It's such a lively social scene here, which makes it even better. I really enjoyed my evening relaxing, doing a little work, and talking to people. I have been to the Starbucks Reserve in Chicago and enjoyed it as well. But I know this will be my favorite of all of them. It's huge but intimate. At night, it's dimly lit with huge leather sofas. Some areas are more private with tables and chairs for two or more. In the daylight hours, it turns into a different vibe, a very businesslike feel, but still with a relaxed and friendly environment. Honestly, you can't go wrong spending your days or nights here. It's such a great place to unwind. read more

Awesome coffee please Starbucks is awesome they are not that expensive but they can be they on good customer service

Wanted to try some of the exclusive reserve drinks and was a little disappointed. The drinks were overpriced and tasted similar to the regular Starbucks drinks. There was limited seating space and not a lot of outlets. I'm not a fan of the shared restroom spaces and would prefer separate restrooms rather than a shared hand washing area. Nice location but not a huge fan. Would stick to my regular local Starbucks location in the future read more

Starbucks Reserve - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

For a reserve, I was underwhelmed. Located in the busy outdoor mall, so they were slammed. Our drinks and food took about 25mins to be finished. Lots of indoor seating and they do have new drink offerings which is typical for a Reserve location. Overall not too impressed, but of you need your Starbuck's fix, it will do. read more

This place always has my drinks ready and with a smile ;D The AC is wonderful on those 90-109 degree days so great escape from the heat. Thank you Starbucks read more

The most poorly ran starbucks I've ever been to. Waited 30 mins for my drink while they said they were "making it". All i ordered was a refresher and they proceeded to bring out everyone else's drinks. I waited 30 mins for a normal refresher. This is worse than a starbucks near campus during finals week. read more

Big and spacious Starbucks conveniently located in the Domain. Service is always fast. Starbucks does a promotion a few times a year called "Yay Day", in which Starbucks Rewards members get 50% off one drink from noon to 6 PM. I downloaded the app and signed up for free, but my coupon was nowhere to be found. When I asked the barista about it, he mentioned that to qualify for the offer, you need to download the app and create an account at least a few weeks before "Yay Day". I must have looked very disappointed, because he gave me the 50% off anyways. My iced pumpkin cream chai tea latte tasted all the better because of that. read more

We must of came to the reserve at the tail end of its life earlier this month because our experience is nothing like a lot of earlier experiences. We first came on a Saturday night seeing that the Starbucks was open late. The regular side Starbucks was opened late, not the reserve bar. We couldn't fault them cause it wasn't listed on their website that both the reserve bar and regular Starbucks operated on different hours. We came back the next morning excited just to be pretty disappointed about the reserve. We sat at the bar and thought someone would come up to us and ask us for our order. Nope we had to go in line and order through the regular cafe side. We saw from older pics that the reserve bar usually has a menu that offers coffee flights and coffee over ice cream which my fiance really wanted to try. "Nope, we don't do the special pours and they haven't sent us ice cream in a long time" The reserve barista said. While the shaken lemonade drink we got was good, we only did it for the cups. I honestly wouldn't return here because it sounds like the reserve part of this starbucks will be closing and converting to a regular starbucks. If you want the cups, I suggest going before this reserve bar is set to close. read more

I see a lot of negative reviews about this place, and most of the complaints are on their poorly managed operations. Unfortunately I have to second these reviewers on their poor services and long wait time. However, I think it is still a good coffee break spot in the Domain, and I think it's best to visit during weekdays to avoid the crowds. It's a pretty nicely decorated store, and sometimes you see chess clubs hosting tournaments on their outdoor patio. It's a Starbucks Reserve so we assume ppl have higher expectations for them than a regular Starbucks. This store unfortunately doesn't have that "reserve" classy vibe and rlly just make you feel like a regular Starbucks. Drinks-wise I've ordered their matcha latte a couple of times and all of them were quite delicious. Will still come back for drinks when in Domain. read more

Have been to SR so many times, my go to drink is hazelnut bianca latte!! If you go to SR, order from reserve menu, that's when you see the difference b/w, regular Starbucks and reserve. I love hazelnut Bianca: flavors are perfectly balanced, smooth, velvety and nothing is overwhelming, but cutting off 1 star because of the wait time, even when they're empty and pretty much has to do only your order, still it takes 15ish mins, which doesn't make any sense read more

Starbucks Reserve - Hazelnut bianco latte, it's good!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I may have just had my best Starbucks experience to date. Meg (I believe that's what her name tag said) was very personable during our conversation. The store was clean and beautiful and the coffee is perfect. The baristas that made our drinks were friendly too, asking if I was interested in a cup holder. I said yes and Meg sprang into action and got me my holder. I normally don't to reviews but yall got me good! Keep it up read more

The only location in Austin that knows how to make a Carmel Apple Spice! Had a friend in town who was looking for a 'Been There Series' mug so decided to grab a drink as it was a little chilly outside. Was so happy because the barista not only rang up my drink correctly (for some reason all the other Starbucks here ring it up as a Carmel Macchiato) but made it perfectly! I wish I remembered his name because I want him to make it for me every time!!! They do have a few special drinks on their menu that I will have to check out next time I go! read more

This is now just a Starbucks. Not a Reserve. Only serving the average, mild at best coffee. Regular food and drink specials. Employees are great, underpaid and can only work with what they are given. Long gone is the decadent cold brew malts. read more

Starbucks Reserve - Remodeled Domain Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Exceptional service! We accidentally spilled a drink and made a mess, but the Starbucks team sprang into action to help clean up. Not only did they offer to make us a new drink, but they did so with kindness and a smile. Great job, team! 5 stars isn't enough! read more

This is a very nice Starbucks. My carmel macchiato tasted good. I really enjoyed being able to drink my coffee and read a book for a little. Most of the ones in San Diego removed its seating areas. read more

This place is poorly managed. The staff doesn't seem like they want a job. Also, I went in to try the new fall 2023 drinks such as the Pumpkin Spice Whiskey Barrel-Aged Iced Latte but this store doesn't have any of the special drinks or pastries advertised on the Starbucks website. It's pretty much just a mediocre Starbucks store. read more

This Starbucks is conveniently located at the domain and serves the core coffee products with special limited edition coffees. Meg is an excellent barista. The atmosphere is suitable for lingering with a coffee for a conversation or work on a laptop read more

Nice place. Very stylish inside and when the day it's cold what's best but a hot beverage. My friend comes here with her husband and her daughter all the time and since we had dinner, we just wanted some coffee. We received very good customer service, the place was clean and big enough to have a nice conversation. I do have to check it out in a nicer day. However, with the weather like this, it's hard to plan for a nicer day. My cafe latte was great. Substitute for coconut milk, it was warm, and foamy. read more

I really really really wanted to love this Starbucks. I took my husband who is an avid Starbucks avoider, and convinced him it would be much better than the regular Starbucks stores. It was complete chaos in there. The line to order was confusing people just randomly walked up and ordered - no line or space for a long line (there were prob 20 people waiting to order). When we went to order we were looking for recommendations because we've never been to a Starbucks reserve and wanted guidance to get us something special. My husband typically has an espresso with a very small amount of frothed milk - just a dollop. He told the barista the flavor qualities he likes and the guy said ok get this (forgot the name) what size. My husband said no I want an espresso drink - the guy said yep that's it. In a tall. When they finally made our drinks, his was a poured coffee! He waited 20+ minutes to get it and it wasn't even close to what he wanted. Ugh - I love Starbucks and now he swears he will never go back to one. My drink was one of the regular specials at the reserve and I didn't like it either. After the wait - mine was even longer I ended up trashing it. Bummer. read more

First time here, Saturday afternoon. It was pretty busy, bar and indoor seating full, but the line went fast and order was made within 10 minutes. I got the nitro cold brew with sweet cream and a pump of vanilla. It came in a really cool tall reusable cup! Sat outside and chilled. I took one star away due to lack of service in the seating areas. No employees out on the floor cleaning the area We had to clean a table off before sitting. May've been short staffed. Anywho, I'll be back. read more

Starbucks Reserve - Nitro cold brew with sweet cream and a pump of vanilla. I love the cup! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place has no respect for its customers and seems to have an issue with discrimination which determines the level of service and respect you receive. I went in recently and was very clear to order a Frappuccino made with Oat Milk with NO whip. As I'm standing at the pick up counter, an employee turns and slides the drink and turns back around very quickly. They didn't even call the name on the cup, which felt odd but I dismissed it at first because the drink had whip on it so I assumed it wasn't mine. I waited as it went unclaimed so I looked at it and it was mine, clearly labeled on the cup "oak milk, no whip". I showed it to the employee, a very tall white male and he told me he would "scoop it off, because that's all they do" (which I know is NOT company policy). He was very abrasive in his response as he postered himself arrogantly. I initially decided I would scoop it off myself and just never return, but then I figured if they got the whip wrong when it was clearly labeled otherwise then maybe I should check about the oat milk since that is a more urgent food allergy. At first, he tried to lie and dismiss me, but as I began to question the employee that made the drink she admitted that it was not made with oat milk. Out of shock and frustration due to the fact of the treatment I was receiving and then also trying to force the wrong order on me against policy, I said "oh my God". This man then began to YELL AT ME AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS. I was so embarrassed. After going back and forth with him for a moment, I decided to pull out my phone to record the incident because the audacity was astounding. At that point, he immediately stopped talking and ran to the back room and I never saw him again. I asked to speak to a manager, and it turned out that she was standing right there the whole time and didn't say a word to stop him from embarrassing me in front of the whole store which was very crowded at the time. I asked to get a number to corporate and was given the info to a district manager. I thought the issue would surely be corrected. Sadly, I went back in the next week and order the exact same thing. This time, I decided to stand and watch my drink being made. I sat and watched the employee make a Frappuccino with regular milk again, smh. As he was pouring it into a cup, another employee noticed that not only was I watching but I had been recording the entire interaction from start to finish (to ensure my safety and accountability due to the previous incident) and he whispered something to the employee that was making the drink. Visibly upset, he defiantly poured out the drink he was making and reluctantly went to get oat milk and start over. He didn't even rinse the blender back out first (which again, I know it not company policy) but rather than advocate for myself and risk being publicly humiliated again, I took my drink spoke to the manager on duty separately and decided it would be easier for me to make my own coffee from now on if I have to literally watch them make it to ensure that they respect my food allergy. I called the district manager back again and have not even received a call back. She left me a message after the first incident telling me she would follow back up with me but that never happened either. It's true when they say "attitude reflects leadership". The way employees act is a direct result of the allowances of the leadership above them and I will never spend my money in Starbucks again. Any of them. I don't feel like I can trust them anymore due to the consistency of actions at what presents itself as one of Starbucks "premier" locations read more

The Reserve is something special. Not only is it larger than a traditional Starbucks, but there are coffee options beyond the espresso we are used to. I love the Clover pour over for its lower bitterness level. If you request it, you can get your beverage in a ceramic cup rather than the to-go paper style, which I prefer. They offer soy, oat, coconut, almond, and cow milk options. Service is prompt and friendly, and the space is open with a variety of seating options. If you are in the Domain area, I definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Very disappointing. Starbucks reserved in this location was one of the worst experience I've had. Here is the main difference between reserve and regular menu: Machines are not automatic. Meaning the barista controls the grind, the temperature and brew time and etc. they also have some training and can do latte arts and etc! They also make some test drinks there. However the coffee itself is not freshly roasted. I ordered a dark chocolate mocha. Asked the barista whether it's gonna be sweet and he told that he thinks it's a bit on the sweet side. Then I asked him to just make me a cappuccino in a short cup. The drink was very bad. Coffee isn't roasted fresh. The milk was over steamed and way to hot. It's consistency was very bad and of course there was no latte art! The only reason I'm not giving it a 1 star is because the barista was nice. I just hope he knew what he was doing. I had a good experience at Starbucks reserved in Beijing but this was was very bad. read more

This is literally the smallest starbucks reserve in the world, it's just a smidge bigger than a regular starbucks. honestly it's a 3 star at best, service etc ok not great I gave it an extra star because of the reserve status and you can get different drinks. If you have ever been to a starbucks reserve anywhere else in the world, this will be a HUGE letdown. I've been to the one in Seattle and Chicago those two blew my mind on how amazing it was but this was like oh it's a starbucks. Cool to say we have one in the city but eh it's a starbucks in the domain thats about it. read more

First time to a starbucks "reserve" and was impressed by the interior design of the place. This starbucks is located in the Domain shopping center in Austin. There are a few specialty coffees this shop serves that are different than a normal Starbucks, but dont worry they also serve your normal favorites if you ask. Check out this unique Starbucks if you are ever shopping in the Domain. read more

Sleek and modern interior design! The interior was fairly large and packed with customers working and studying at the tables. They had a domain north side exclusive called Color Me Refreshers (a drink where you can customize the colors), but it was not in stock the day I went. Instead, I got an unsweetened grande iced green tea. It was alright and was the same as usual compared to other Starbucks. If you are already at the domain, go visit here. However, there is no need to go out of your way to visit this location. read more

This is my first time being at a Starbucks reserve and I had such a great experience. I came in not knowing that it is one of 43 locations in the US. my fiance and I were excited to see the extended single origin menu with an option to try flights of their premium coffees. We ended up trying the 21microblend, the ethiopia - yrigachefe chelelrktu, and the huehuetenango. Virciel was the batista helping us and was excellent at his job. He helped explain the coffees and made suggestion for future orders. read more

I love this Starbucks! Had their dark chocolate mocha and hazelnut Bianco latte both iced and both delicious ! Great for dog watching- see a lot of owners coming in with their dogs for pup cups read more

Came here to do some work with a friend. Long lines, and the tables are usually full. A lot of the tables are small, meant for either one person studying or two people chatting. There also are very few outlets, so if you're looking to study here, you might have to fight/wait for one. But the overall vibe is very nice, clean, aesthetic. As for coffee, I tried the Shakerato. Delicious, and on the sweeter side so be aware. But overall a pleasant drink and I love the thick plastic that the drinks come in, makes it feel more premium. Would definitely love to try their other special drinks. read more

This mid afternoon, I wasn't sure what to expect as I stepped into one of the 31 Starbuck's reserve coffee bars in the nation. (I reside in AZ where there are not locations........yet.) This is an upscale location is a combo of a regular coffee and a reserve bar. Mark, our lively barista, reviewed some of the special features that a reserve location offers. It was cool to try some coffee beverages that are being tested to see if they would be profitable in the national market. I ordered the "Toff & Salty cold brew" off the "cold craft exclusive offering" menu. I thought it was just delicious! The "reserve americano con crema" from the reserve menu was bold and unique with the orange-piloncillo syrup, turbinado sugar and coffee spiced foam. (Not my favorite.) The modern decor and rich wood bar creates a comfortable setting. So comfortable (that when it's not busy) while sitting at the reserve bar, with the open tab you feel like you could spend another hour here, ordering their newest concoctions! How about coffee and ice cream?! Next time I will try the cold brew malt and classic affogato! read more

Starbucks Reserve is something I need to try and compare to Phil's Coffee House of that in the Bay Area to my Cali coworkers. Domain Northside is becoming more and more SWANK every single time I visit and this Starbucks is NO exception. After my expensive spin class at 8:30am, I decided to treat myself to some coffee at the Reserve bar and this place takes the cake in wowing you with every little detail of that for a corporate gain coffee shop. Quaint fireplace outside on the patio with giant wooden door stamped "Starbucks Reserve" with all the chemistry necessities to drip brew yourself a cup of joe you'll see that they have it all. I ordered myself a $7 drink from the Starbucks Reserve menu, asked for it iced, and it was served to me in the most gourmet, well marketed item ever where everyone seated at the bar asked what I ordered?! That has never happened and it made me internally laugh that I paid such a high tag to get some recognition over my drink order. If there was one complaint, it was my husband stating the bathrooms here are SUPER confusing in the most strangest designed hallways, don't believe him? Go take a look yourself and report back to me. Reserve drinks also get you a black straw with black Starbucks labeled cups, because green is just too peasant and normie. Just kidding, they don't judge and will take you up on your normal grande iced coffee as usual. But mmm, nitro brewed coffee 11 is amaze should you need a gourmet splurge! read more

This cafe was really hip and packed when I visited on a Sunday afternoon. Their are plenty of seating indoors and some nice outdoor seating as well. The structure of how you order and where to pick up is kind of blurred. One bar makes standard Starbucks drinks while the other bar makes Starbucks reserve drinks. It's not easy to know if you have ordered a reserve drink unless you ask or if the barista asks you. The barista was nice and even gave my group and I a taste of the nitro cold brew. I enjoyed the special cups the Starbucks reserve drinks come in; it's a nice touch. I also enjoyed the romantic coffee shop vibe and the music being played. I would definitely come back to try a new specialty coffee drink if I'm in the area. Drinks here range around $4-$5 starting at grande size cups. read more

A different feel to the regular Starbucks you're used to. Spacious store with their coffee bar as their specialty; I like this experience of seeing and tasting specialty coffee blends at the bar. Plus the the cups and merchandise have a sleek design to them. We came twice hoping to try the Vietnam Da Lat coffee, but was out of luck each time. Definitely a popular choice among people. My boyfriend end up recommended me a cold brew malt (~$8) which tasted delicious. IMO, it's pricey for the size but you can't complain for an affogato. read more

I needed some caffeine one morning before a full day of meetings - and so the Yelp app brought me to this location. The inside area is huge! Lots of seating - lots of places to sit, chill, hang out, work, read, converse, whatever! I ordered a Grande cold brew with room for cream. Drink was strong and delicious! Got the neurons firing in just the way that I needed! #StarbucksReserve read more

It's a Starbucks! So you can look forward to the usual accessible bathrooms, a free cup of water, free wifi and no one will bother to kick you out. As a Starbucks, they also seem bound to play an annoying pop-playlist that is only avoidable by wearing noise-cancelling headphones or when the cafe noise has reached a din. As a Reserve store in the Domain, there are extra perks: +So it's extra pretty, high ceilings make the cafe feel spacious even though it's busy at almost all hours. + fancy Reserve drink menu - including affogatos, milkshakes, oat milk, etc. They come in sturdier cups + Reserve baristas seem happier and more engaged in their craft. + outlets by all the walls. No such luck at the bar or in the middle of the cafe read more

Probably the fanciest Starbucks I'll ever experience. The cafe is nicely designed but my friend and I were a little confused by the layout. There's a register towards the back where you order, but on the left there's the 'reserve bar' too so we weren't sure where to order. Also there was an area with people waiting which we originally thought was the line. Because of the reserve bar, there's a special menu with select coffees and even something like a flight/sampler. The original rose honey latte I wanted was unavailable due to a missing ingredient. Instead I ordered a hazelnut bianco latte which was nutty and pretty good. I normally don't drink coffee but when I do I tend to order the sweeter drinks. My friend got a sampler which was very sizeable for the price. Essentially got to pick one type of coffee and it's prepared two ways. You sit at the bar area and they make it in front of you and also give you a description of the beans and its preparation. She was pretty jittery/wired after a few sips so beware! read more

I like this place a latte. This isn't your normal everyday starbucks! This is reserve which contains some of them more exclusive items, such as one I'd highly recommend the cold brew nitro, a much needed pick me up. The store itself is very clean and very homely, a great place to bring a laptop to work or have a meeting during lunch or even after work. One thing to check out for sure is their reserve bar which I believe changes brews occasionally and these items are usually a higher grade type of coffee for any enthusiasts. Also of course all other normal items can be bought here too, even pumpkin spice lattes (writing this in the fall). read more
