It’s surprisingly located in the United States. In the city where Barack Obama, Kanye West and Chance the Rapper are from. Chicago, Illinois is the home to the world’s biggest Starbucks. Even if you’re not a fan of buying expensive coffee, waiting in long lines outside in the freezing cold, this Starbucks is a place you should consider visiting at least once in your lifetime. You’ll be impressed by what you’ll see when I finally get inside. The Starbucks Reserve Roastery Chicago first opened up in early November of 2019 It’s located on the corner of North Michigan Avenue and Erie Street on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. This Starbucks is one of its kind with 35,000 square feet of space and 5 floors. The first thing you see when entering the building is the 56-foot cask, where coffee beans go to rest and de-gas after the roasting process. On the first floor, you'll see the Probat L-25 roaster which roasts small batches of Starbucks Reserve coffee beans from all over the world. The roasting team gave it the nickname “Charlotte”. The next things you may notice are the spinning board, coffee bar and the gift shop. Starbucks was selling clothing and other accessories. One of the other unique things that this Starbucks has is the curved escalator, which is the first of its kind in the Midwest. Visitors ride the curved escalator to all 5 floors encircling around the 56-foot cask. The beans travel through small pipes on the ceiling and into the Reserve Coffee Bar to be made into fresh coffee. The 2nd floor is filled with freshly made pastries, pizza, salad and pasta from the famous Italian baker Rocco Princi. (Which is exclusively made for Starbucks at this location). Also all pastries are baked in their ovens by the chefs. I highly recommend trying out their exclusive Princi margarita pizza, eggplant rigatoni, Tiramisu and Hazelnut Bianco Latte. I would've tried everything but I rather not break my wallet or bank account. lol Many of the food selections are not available at any other regular Starbucks. Their customer service is enhanced with servers in the dining area constantly taking guests orders, moving chairs around and cleaning up the dining tables. You’ll have to watch the video to the end to see what’s on the 4th flour. The 5th floor is an outdoor rooftop terrace where you get to admire the Michigan Avenue Chicago views while you drink your fancy coffee. It’s impressive what the Starbucks Company has accomplished so far. Over the years Starbucks has grown it’s brand and loyal customer base to a level that many fortune 500 companies dream to achieve one day. It’s owner and former CEO Howard Schultz thought long term since the beginning. What makes Starbucks different from other well known food brands is that it’s not a franchise. Although this means slower growth when starting a company, it gives the company a huge advantage to sustainability, profitability and lasting control. Alright, well I hope you enjoyed this video!
