For 25 years, Chicago was home to the world’s tallest building. Now the Windy City is about to score a new claim to fame — by hosting the world’s largest Starbucks.
The four-story, 43,000-square-foot Starbucks Reserve Roastery is set to feature multiple brewing methods, a new menu of coffees and an expanded on-site bakery, company officials say. Although there are five others like it — Milan, New York, Seattle, Shanghai and Tokyo — none of those match it in size.
The new Starbucks is set to host a grand opening celebration on North Michigan Avenue, which officials say will be “an immersive experience dedicated to roasting and brewing small-batch Starbucks Reserve coffee from around the world,” on November 15th. Check out the full story from NBC-5 Chicago here.

Here are some pictures from the Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Seattle which might have a similar look in Chicago.
