Although the drinks are the same you can get at any location, it’s cool to visit the first ever location. They offer exclusive merchandise you can only buy at that store. The line moves pretty quick, if you go later in the day it seems to be shorter.

What an AWESOME time, to experience the first EVER Starbucks. I am a HUGE Starbucks fan, and have always wanted to make a visit. This was great, even though we had to wait about 30 minutes to make it in the store. I will always remember this day!

THE FIRST STARBUCKS... EVER. Girl, you got to come here. It was about half an hour wait from the time I got in line until the time I ordered. The coffee is exactly the same, but c’mon you got to be able to say YOU DID IT! There are some cool souvenirs specific to that location and there is an employee that stands outside and WANTS to take your picture so do not be afraid to ask!

I wasn’t a Starbucks fan till I came here. To be honest I’m not really a coffee fan. I usually think it tastes like dirt water and for a number of reasons need to keep drinking it. Most of the time it gives me heartburn because it’s too acidic, however I came her to try their special blend they only have at this location. I was amazed at the high level of customer service despite being so overwhelming busy. The special blend of coffee as recommended is the same bean as they serve at all locations, however it’s roasted longer and eliminates the excessive acidity. I didn’t get heartburn and have returned many times since. I also tried their nitro cold brew chocolate covered strawberries flavor which was Amazing and amazing strong. The grande is equivalent to 7 shots of expresso which means the tall should be about 4 shots of expresso, however they haven’t confirmed. This is becoming a fav of mine now.I also caught this other Starbucks building flying our Kraken flag and made me like them even more.

The first Starbucks in the world.There are lots of mugs/cups of the original Starbucks logo sold here, also lots of exclusive cups/beans sold here.However, there usually is a long line for entering the store, which takes 45mins - 1hr.To beverage is identical to normal Starbucks.There is actually another store nearby that sells some of the mugs.A place to visit if you are a big fan of Starbucks.

Waited in line for about an hour to finally walk into the First Starbucks in the world! Let me just tell you right away that it is simply not worth the wait! Theres nothing amazing that tells you the history inside or anything different than any other Starbucks that can be found on either corner! The outside is honestly beautiful and worth stopping by for at least a picture, but waiting in lines is totally not worth it at all!Now even the staff know that standing out front is ridiculous, so they do give you an umbrella so that you dont completely fry!Moral of the store: do what your heart desires, stand in the line if you absolutely cannot resist! 👀

Starbucks makes a great cup of Jo. I also love their Chai and various seasonal drinks. If you frequent them get their app and pay attention to the rewards offers. I save my points until I am eligible for a $20 item. I now have great containers for travel or home from claiming the rewards.

The Original Starbucks. Historical foundation! Great coffee. Great location!!

It was an awesome experience to visit the original Starbucks!! The merchandise has all original logos, which is a great keepsake. There are even special drinks that no other store has. Id definitely recommend a visit if youre in the local area. :)

Its a really busy place! But very organized. And definitely worthy to wait.The drinks are pretty good 🥰

Great idea and the line wasnt even that bad and moved pretty quick. There was a batista that was training and my drink was cold (yes, I ordered hot coffee). But the service was great and friendly. They replaced my drink with no problem.

I love this place! It makes me crazy that how it was opened in 1912 and I can step on to it🤩🤩🤩 you definitely must buy an old Starbucks gift from here for your self🥤

Its like every other Starbucks but its where it all started the iconic brand that we all know.Staff is very friendly and patient, I switched my order, changed things.Long line is expected so place go early in the morning where the line isnt as long.

Such an enjoyable experience. The Staff was wonderful from the beginning of the line to the last sip of my wonderful Drink 😋😋😋🌹

Get here early. Always a line in front. Great customer service. Great vibe. No sitting area but across the way there is a stand up counter area where you can drink and eat, its behind the market and overlooks the waterfront.

The original Starbucks store. Has a unique couple drinks such as the Malted Mocha nitro which is a sugary dream.

Sooo crazy, the original Starbucks and tourists are lined up down the block and around the corner. Now THAT is a sight to see...

Great shop surprised by the lack specialty items and the line to get in is long.

Long waiting line but worth the drink, the staff are so nice, my friend used the app to order but when we came to the entrance after 70 minutes,the waitress told here here order should be picked from the other starbucks 😂, her name is Maggie she was so nice she told the manager and they gave us the same order without charge

This place is the first Starbucks but is honestly super cool. (Long line as it is a tourist attraction plus a Starbucks) Staff was super cool and honestly the drink I had (double chocolaty chip venti) was amazing and they did a fantastic job. Seriously super friendly staff I loved them. Overall its awesome.

Amazing experience. Very great natural wood. Also super great coffee. Some merchandise you only get here and coffee you can only get here. Fantastic service. I had the Ethiopia in a pour over and it was so smooth! Also a shot of the blonde espresso!

The very first STARBUCKS! If your in Seattle... and you enjoy Starbucks... Go ahead and plan on visiting! On the weekends the line can get quite long, but its definitely worth the wait!

Location has exclusive merch and two exclusive drinks. I waited in line for an hour but it was worth it for the chocolate covered strawberry nitro alone! Must try!Be sure to to check out the Starbucks Reserve up the street for a much different Starbucks experience more focused on the coffee than the novelty of the first store

Very nice staff, he liked to talk and keep the line entertained. When inside the merch on the left are for display only. You buy them from the counter to the right. Drinks are very Starbucks.

It good if willing to wait 25 mins to get a coffee lol

Our experience today 04/02/2021 was wonderful .. the drinks were delicious thanks to Daniel and his suggestions ☺ .. We also bought souvenirs but to our surprise when we returned to our hotel one the mugs we purchased wasnt in the bag ... but Ill go back tomorrow to retrieve it .. Thank you Starbucks for your service and excellent customer service!

I was passing by Seattle and thought of checking this area. The line was very long. Cool experience though.

Really nice n friendly people. I like the vibe. I had pike roasted coffee which is served just in this place n i like it.Its always fun to visit the places with some background n story behind where here is one of them.For sure if you are in the area you should visit here, BUT always there is a line there so probably I stop by in any other Starbucks to het my drink.

Got here around 7:45am only took us about 20 mins to go inside. My wife loves Starbucks so we were in Seattle and had to go to the first store. We also got a souvenir to take back with us.

It was niceit was really cool seeing how everything was made and there was a lot of variety. the prices were (obviously) a bit higher and seating was hard to find but it was all good

This is the first Starbucks cafe opened. It’s in the pike’s market. There is much hype about this cafe and the line for the coffee is long. We waited for nearly 30 mins. Very touristy. Lots of people clicking pictures.They have a few exclusive drinks, and also have merchandise for souvenirs.

People don’t go to this Starbucks specifically for the coffee, it’s the same as any other Starbucks but it’s really about the experience which was great and worth the wait (which however long it was, didn’t end up feeling very long)! While waiting outside, they had someone with a bubble gun which made for some beautiful pictures, and of course people playing music all over pikes place is always good entertainment. They also take your order outside so when you go in, you can focus on the souvenirs and once you get in, everything is done very quickly!

Its my second time around and it is still make me feel excited to be there again. The line is short and fast and we had business with them very easy. This Starbucks is very lucky to have this new guy from New York who have the best customer service ever. He should be promoted. It was a fun visit.

The fact that it is the first one makes it worth it. I love that the cups are brown and not the typical green. Plan to stand in line, we got there and waited about 15 mins, but it does get pretty lengthy.

Everyone was so kind and welcoming! The place was clean and neat as well.

I was walking by this place and I thought to myself, “wow what a really nice looking Starbucks”...turns out..it was the first one ever opened! Great coffees here. I feel like the Starbucks in Seattle hit different. It tastes so much better knowing you got a cup of coffee from the first Starbucks ever built!

‘First’ Starbucks store. Expect long lines at all times during the day. If you’re a hardcore Starbucks fan or if you have the time to wait, it’s pretty cool visiting. Otherwise there’s nothing much different other than some exclusive merchandise.

The original Starbucks location in Pike Place Market is an awesome place to visit. It is located right on the market and is usually very busy. There was an employee at the front door controlling the number of people inside the building since its not a very large space. My drink was made perfectly, and it was really fun experiencing the hustle and bustle atmosphere of the market while sipping on my beverage. It made for a fun afternoon adventure to go walking around downtown Seattle and on the Waterfront.

So Happy can see the Starbucks first store, drinking special coffee, shopping unique Starbucks stuff.

Its amazing place, I love coffee and definitely StarbucksI made special trip for the first Starbucks ever

I went to this Starbucks around 9am and the line was fairly short. I would recommend going on a rainy day for a shorter line. The merchandise for the pike place location all features the original logo making the collectables extra special.

Very nice experience being able to visit the first Starbucks!

Had to wait inline but what fun going to the very first Starbucks! Staff was super friendly and ver helpful.

Extremely friendly staff! The Pike’s Place merchandise can ONLY be purchased by making the trip to this store - no shipping cheaters! 👍👍 For those who enjoy the chain, this is a box you must check.

First Starbucks - carries exclusive merch. Be ready to wait in line to enter but worth the wait due to COVID and spike in tourism.

This is the 1st Starbucks store in the world, with history dated back to 1912 per the signage at the door. Seems like theres always a queue to get into the tiny store. Worth a visit but mostly to take photos of this historical store with its unique logo of mermaid.

The 1st Starbucks! Its a no frills Starbucks but has amazing customer service, long line to get in but they sell special merchandise that you can only buy at that location.

The First one! Had to visit 😃

Cons: You will wait in line at least 30 min to get in, if you come between May-October.Pros: The staff is unbelievably patient and on this visit: hilarious.I’m a local and I came to the OG Starbucks to get merch for some out of town visitors; Patricia is AWESOME. She was coming outside every 5-10 mins to chat with people in line. She had little fun facts about the store and stories to share. She had directions for visitors and suggestions for places to eat. Truly a great host!If you’re headed into this location here are a few things to know: all the merchandise in the store is exclusive. You can’t buy ‘Pike Place Sbux’ merch anywhere but here in the store. You can order any drink you usually would but they do not sell food. The reason for that is there’s like… 20 places within a block that you could get delicious food. They do only allow a certain amount of people in the store at a time (even before Covid) so there will almost always be a line. If you get there before they open (6:30am) it’ll be the shortest wait time.Have a great time!

First time in Seattle! This was a must visit place for me. Hands down the best!! from door man to ordering was the best customer service! They even had cute thermals and of course had to get one!

Well it could be just a checkbox to check as the first Starbucks . I tried flat white and latte and both were average in taste . Only drinks were available though no snacks .

Great experience for anyone in love with Starbucks or has someone in their life that loves Starbucks. Go at night to avoid major lines and crowds.

Priscilla was working the line outside she was helpful and pleasant

I only took pic, but I love Starbucks! This is the first original Starbucks. But look up the history for yourself. Really cool landmark. A must go visit.

Even when I lived up here I didnt go to the original Starbucks, but this time I brought someone up for their first time and they just needed to go. Im glad we did because it was super fun! The wait wasnt that long to get inside and ordering went by really smoothly. I got the Chocolate Strawberry Nitro that they only offer at this location and it was pretty yummy. It didnt have much strawberry flavor, but it was still good.I only gave it 4 stars just because the inside is rather small. When we were next in line for our drinks several people started crowding in front of the service counter so we had to maneuver our way around them to get the drinks and leave the store. Overall a great experience that was really quaint.

Unique original Starbucks.

Being in the first Starbucks in Seattle makes a huge thing. Being there and try their pike place special coffee is an awesome feeling. I would recommend this a definite go place if you are in and around the place. The staffs are really humble and good to explain the history of the entire details 🤩😀😀😀

It was cool to see the original but they need to get there hussel down better. Only 1 guy making drinks... 3 taking orders... Line was 45 minutes long!

Lovely place

Jad was really nice and welcoming:)

It was neat going to the very first Starbucks. The staff was friendly and seemed very good at managing the long lines. Be prepared for a long wait, but this is a pretty popular tourist spot so thats expected. My caramel frappucino was delicious!

Really nice small shop with a long queue. They have merchandise which you’ll only find at this store. Coffee is the same as everywhere else.

The original Starbucks, where it all started! Established in 1971 and is actually its second location, after moving in 1976 form its original original location at 2000 Western Avenue.The coffee is deep dark roasted and, well, Starbucks. The staff is nice and friendly, and maintaining the Covid-19 regulations quite well.Definitely worth a stop to catch a piece of popular culture history.

They were very friendly and didnt make us feel rushed, really an accomplishment considering the amount of traffic they get! I got one of the exclusive drinks offered here (the strawberry nitro over chocolate) and really enjoyed it. The main attraction is, of course, the fact that this is the first Starbucks. They have exclusive drinks and merchandise. Go early to avoid overly long lines - we arrived at around 815am on Friday and waited in line but it wasnt too bad yet.

The lineup was crazy but hey this is the first Starbucks in the United States what do you expect!!☕️😍 and the public market Centre is right next to it so make sure you put on your comfortable sport shoes lol

It’s Starbucks yeah it’s the first and you can get souvenirs here but unfortunately it is so crowded and small and not enough staff here. You know how slow Starbucks can be but this location is definitely number one slow. Spend a day here or you can walk a couple blocks and get a quick cup. But yeah I’ve waited here a bunch of times with my guests. Because it’s Starbucks you know.

The very first store of Starbucks, for the taste, I still prefer Blue Bottle.The store is very vintage-ish.There are some special beans available here.The wait is about 30-45 mins, I will let you decide whether the wait is worthy or not when you are here.

Its Starbucks....buy its the first one. I met nice people here and it was fun to go get a drink and say I did that...so....drink was good and staff was nice. Place was clean.

FIRST STARBUCKS!! So we went here like a month ago and we were the 10th in line. We were so lucky. We got a Mango Dragonfruit Refresher and got me a 12 oz water bottle as a souvenir. WOULD COME BACK!!!

I love this place, it is the Oldest Starbucks in the world

As you know, this is the first(actually, the oldest, but not initial) Starbucks coffee shop. It is small but cozy and nice coffee shop. There are many kinds of tumblers and mugs only sale here. Staffs are so kind and friendly. They serve coffee but it is not special, same as other Starbucks coffee. But, it is symbolic action to visit here. I visited to original Starbucks coffee shop and I drank a cup of coffee of original Starbuck and I am here, home of coffee and I am enjoying sleepness in Seattle!

Great coffee really a place that you have to come and see since this shop is the original Starbucks

Theres a huge line almost always. But yeah, its the first Starbucks. The staff gives out umbrellas to the people in the line. The store itself gives off a vintage vibe. Lots of goodies available for purchase. Would recommend a visit at least once!

Very friendly staff.. They will do whatever they can to make waiting in the long line just easy

Definitely worth the experience for a Starbucks fan. The original! Very cool to see how far they have come from this location. Love it!! Just something to visit, being the most successful coffee shop in the world. I’ve had Starbucks from Canada to Belgium to France, and each time is as good as the next. That’s why I consider Starbucks to be the best, most consistent coffee shop in the world.

Yep, its the first. I get that. Skip unless you really, really have a thing for Starbucks as a company. Crowded, small, and not that different than any other Starbucks you can visit.

Have been here multiple times. Good coffee except the line is always long.

First starbucks and friendly managers but too many people

Starbucks pikes place is the first Starbucks ever.Everyone is so nice here with big smiles. The coffee tastes fresh. Amazing.There’s usually a line so plan accordingly.This place is so neat.

The place was super clean and friendly, the employee with the cool blue hair was super sweet to me and my mom. The drinks tasted great and the service was fast :)

So great to see the first one! The line was not bad. Make sure to look at what you would like from the list of items the have so when you order it for faster!

This is a must see when you are visiting Seattle. I have lives here my whole life but whenever we have people in town we always take them down here and stop by the OG Starbs. The line to get it can be INSANE but its for a reason. The inside is super cool and the way they have everything set up for you to order makes things move faster. I will tell you, go grab a snack from one of the places in Pikes and then eat it while you stand in line, the time will pass fast and before you know it youll be inside checking out the first Starbucks EVER!

When I came to Seattle I had to get to the first ever Starbucks and like expected the line was bananas but I stood in it anyway. They had it pretty organized and moved at a decent pace. When we finally got in, I really liked the decor of the place. The barista was very nice as well. I ordered the coffee frappuccino with almond milk and my friend ordered the drangonfruit refresher. We both really liked our drinks and it was a good experience.

Worth a visit!The baristas and service at this Starbucks is TOP NOTCH! I went in there to get coffee and one of the baristas sang my name and told me “this coffee honey was made SO GOOD that I can’t even contain my excitement for you to try it” and yes it was delicious and they made my day.

It’s awesome to visit the first Starbucks, if you don’t like waiting (like me) I went Saturday around 11 am a lot of people, went Sunday 7 am, no waiting! 😃

The very first Starbucks is worth it for the biggest coffee fan. Exclusive merchandise that’s is only sold here, too. There’s a line always so get there early when the market is opening. The staff was very nice and friendly and there’s always a special order that is only made here.

Great place, a mecca for marketing gurus... Exclusive merch available, makes for a great souvenir.Small and cozy. They only allow 6 people at a time due to covid restrictions, but thats a plus if you want to have room for pics. No seating available

This is a must when visiting Seattle. We arrived about 5 minutes before they opened and were some of the first people there. We recommended showing up before they open because you’ll be able to spend more time in the shop looking at everything and taking some fun photos. If you go later in the day, there will be a very long line. The employees are very kind and helpful and, of course, the coffee is excellent!

Long queue inside since its a tourist attraction in itself. From inside just like any other Starbucks. Cant rate it higher or lower since did not really buy anything.

We came to know this is considered first store but it was moved here from its original location.I will suggest to go in the late evening/night as the store will be crowded during morning and evening.Coffee is same as in other stores

Me and my family stopped by just for a chai latte and I didnt even realize that it was the first Starbucks EVER great experience staff was amazing especially Maggie kutos to you girl she was such a sweetheart and even gave our one year old baby girl a teddybear doodled on our bags with cute notes and had great fun conversation yall better keep her around even though her day was long she still had amazing service and thats hard to find now days thank you Maggie for such a awesome experience but the wait is worth it especially if you love Starbucks like I do !!!!!

A nice experience

It is interesting to see and experience where Starbucks all started. Even though this is not the actual first store, this is considered to be the one. Everything remained the same design as it was. It offers some unique memoriblia like mugs and flasks to buy.Coffee is the same great quality as you would expect from the chain.Worth the visit if in the area, be prepared for the long queue though. Like outside the building, around the block long queue.

Had to stop by the first Starbucks, wait was long, but not too bad. Very efficient.

The iconic starbucks

Nice staff. So so coffee.Personally think not worth the time

This place is worth a visit! Employees were very friendly. We enjoyed some special drinks exclusive for this store. You will need to wait in line, but it was worth it. You will notice the original Starbucks logo from 1971 which is unique to this store.

Absolutely amazing place to visit this is where it all started! They do some very special one-of-a-kind souvenir mugs as well as a bunch of other great souvenirs that are not available anywhere else but the store. If nothing else this is a perfect example of how a small business can grow into one of the most loved brands in the world. Outstanding highly recommended

Employees are talking a lot to each other/joking a lot. They messed up my order, I ended up waiting a very long time for a basic Frappuccino. Definitely not a first time experience I was looking for at the 1st starbucks :(

1st time at 1st Starbucks. Woke up super early to beat the line. Next time I will wake up earlier. Line already started but only 5 couples ahead of us. Yesterday line down the block. So I am counting it as win. If your a coffee drinker you have to go at least once while in Seattle.
