First 'High Concept' Starbucks in NYC!
This is not your regular Starbucks. This is Starbucks on crack.
It's a beautiful space, smack in the middle of all the Chelsea art galleries.
It's between 10th and 11th Avenue, so very far west, but it's definitely worth a look.
It's below ground level.
Once you open the door, you'll be in awe. It's a beautiful space with art pieces, low-sitting arm chairs, coffee bar space, and exposed brick walls.
They curate all their art pieces from local artists, and they are for sale. A part of the portions go towards charity.
They have special breakfast and lunch additions too.
I tried their holiday Turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce panini.
And they sell sachets of Sriracha.
I'd definitely recommend coming here for work lunches, coffee dates, and study sessions.
I like Starbucks beverages but not a fan of their crowded space. At this location in not-so-crowded neighborhood, the space is really large, and have the art gallery feel to it with many paintings and such on the wall. Even thought it is located below street level, they still have nice large windows, allowing natural lights to come in and light up the large space. It also has lots of lighting fixtures throughout, so it feels very cozy and comfortable.
The middle of the floor is more like a nice living room setting, with comfy chairs and couch, and additional modern designed seating from wall to wall. With this space being more like a hidden gem (right now), there are more than enough seating at all time. I am secretly hoping this place will not be too popular so that it will stay this way.
So, what can you get here that is special to this location? Of course the "reserve" line of coffee. They have other, regular drinks here as well, but since we came to the Reserve, we decided to try some of their reserve coffee.
To tell you the truth, I actually love the space more than their coffee, but again, if I was a serious coffee lover, I probably will love their coffee too. So, the next time I visit this nice little quiet, relaxing oasis in NYC, I would most likely order their regular beverage, but I still will totally enjoy the space!

Starbucks goes upscale!
This Starbucks is definitely the most upscale version I've ever seen! This isn't your regular, dark brown and bustling Starbucks.
My boyfriend and I were parked half block from this Starbucks and in the neighborhood when he asked me to get him a hot tea from Starbucks (he was sick) and I also wanted an iced coffee, so I did my ordering from my phone, but also had no idea where this Starbucks was.
While I walked down West 26th Street, I thought I was on the wrong block until I realized it was tucked away below ground level. Once you open the door, there's a set of stairs to walk down on and where you can see all the art pieces, low-sitting comfy arm chairs, coffee bar space, and exposed brick wall. It's like you're not even at a Starbucks, but at the same time you are.
It's definitely not crowded here and super spacious, so if you're claustrophobic or just don't like crowded places – definitely come to THIS Starbucks! The staff here are super friendly. Drinks were ready and prepared when I arrived. I almost didn't want to leave because I just wanted to take a few minutes to appreciate this Starbucks, but maybe next time.
This is definitely the Starbucks to go to if you want to get some work, blogging, studying done or even to meet a friend.
Yah, I kinda reluctant to share this place with anyone since it is so hard to find a coffee shop which does not have plenty people in NYC. But, this place deserves everyone's attention since it is so upgrade and unique that I really want to share with fellow yelpers' and let yall share the excitement with me.
Location: located at West 26th street and close to 10ave, R starbucks located in a creepy area at Chelsea. When you were on highline park, you probably would stopped for a little bit due to the some art gallery posters. But if you get off highline park right now, and go downstairs, you will see the R starbucks right away. Unlike the other regular starbucks, this place is unique. It has several individual seats, with plenty private space. It also has reserved coffee for you to taste.
I had niagara coffee and I do wish that they can practice the handmade coffee pouring art a little bit. But the quality of the coffee is better than average, at least better than PIKE. They also has lots of coffee beans for sale, some bakeries to eat and some space for intimate talk.
It is upgrade and it is comparably pricy? Maybe, but with this little amount of people here, I would love to pay a little more to have some spacious space.
I like it here and hopefully, I won't stop coming here.
I am obsessed with this high concept Starbucks in NYC. It is definetly not your average Starbucks. There's paintings on the wall, cool concept seating, comfier chairs in the center of the store with interesting rugs.
Basically, so much more classy and aesthetically pleasing than the average Starbucks store we are used to visiting.
At first I did find it odd to find the baristas at Starbucks using a Chemex to brew coffee and thought to myself "super hipster Starbucks baristas that actually like to brew coffee?"
But anyways onto the review:
Pros:
+ Niagara Coffee
(just had a free sample and it was 10000x better than their OG Blonde Roast or Pike)
+ wicked CLEAN
+ quiet
+ fun environment
+ good playlist
+ perfect place to study
Cons:
– workers are a bit rude and will give you the evil glare and dismiss you… They seemed conceited and would definetly the group of employees that judge your Starbucks orders (aka. the stereotypical Starbucks employees that Buzzfeed writes about)
But call me crazy – i would go back to bad Starbucks service just to sit and study in this cool space.
