I felt like it was a tourist trap. You paid $45 to sample two coffees. The facilitator was personable but the value wasn’t there.

We had a great time! Dylan was really good at bringing us through the process, and telling us interesting notes about the coffees themselves. Great vibes! Will certainly be back.

Went to the pumpkin tasting experience. Our barrista, Jeremy, did a great job talking about each of the products on this very special menu. The whiskey pumpkin drink (it is non-alcoholic) was my absolute favorite - I have never tasted anything like this! It should be added to the general Starbucks menu!

The instructor was lovely but the experience was not worth the price i paid. The music was so loud you could barely hear the instructor. We made a martini flight and the flavors were awful. We should have had a seasonal pumpkin or got to pick our flavors. The experience barely took us an hour and we thought it would be close to two hours.

Very intimate and private experience which made it even better (at first we thought it was going to be with other groups but it wasn’t), our host Jordan was amazing, super friendly and funny! He made us feel comfortable during the tasting and taught us so many new things about coffee. 10/10 would go again!
