Starbucks opens in the iconic Empire State Building

Starbucks in the Empire State Building occupies three whole floors! This is a great new place to enjoy a cup of coffee in good company or just get some work done. There will also be exclusive interactive coffee masterclasses and tasting sessions, new coffee drinks, cocktails and dishes available only at this location.   

“For nearly three decades, we have grown with New York. People from all over the world come to us to connect and share ideas,” said Mark Ring, Starbucks vice president of US retail.  

“Tenants and visitors to the Empire State Building—recently named the No. 1 attraction in the United States by Tripadvisor—will benefit from this amazing new store, as will everyone in the area,” said Anthony E. Malkin, Chairman, President and CEO of Empire State Realty Trust.

The Starbucks Reserve Empire State Building store will feature Starbucks menu favorites, from espresso classics like lattes and cappuccinos to signature Starbucks Reserve drinks like Hazelnut Bianco Latte, Whiskey Barrel Aged Cold Brew and Nitro Almondmilk Mocha. The menu will also feature seasonal favorites such as Pumpkin Spice Latte and Peppermint Mocha - all made with gourmet Starbucks Reserve coffee.   

The store will offer multiple coffee brewing options and will be the only store to offer drinks made using cold-pressed espresso, a proprietary brewing technology developed by the Starbucks research and development team that uses cold water and gentle, upward pressure to produce a more smooth and sweet espresso, similar to a slow cold brew. With an exceptionally smooth, sweet, and rich flavor profile, the custom cold-pressed espresso method will open up many exciting possibilities for the future of cold brew coffee.

Starbucks' legacy in New York dates back to 1994, and Starbucks Reserve now includes six roasteries located in Seattle, Shanghai, Milan, New York, Tokyo and Chicago, as well as Starbucks Reserve stores and bars. With more than 35 stores worldwide, the company is the world's leading manufacturer and marketer of specialty coffee.
