I normally buy this brand in the form of K-pods, but thought I would try the ground version thinking it would taste fresher. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I brewed one cup and found it to be very stale tasting. So stale that I could not take another sip. The "Use By" date of August, 2025 means that this coffee is at least 6 months old. The K-pods "Use By" date is May, 2025, so I suppose the freshness has to do with the way they are sealed?

I can not start my day without my STARBUCKS COFFEE. Pike Place is a rich and delicious coffee that I enjoy with just regular half and half creamer. This is a GREAT price for this size bag. It is in stock every time I order it online which I appreciate.

Second special I get to try during last months discounts after the first of Verona horrible coffee. It brews foamy and horrible taste, makes a breakfast meal taste bad it ruins taste buds. I do not recommend ground but my Samsclub store does not carry whole bean. My favorite is winter blend whole bean.

Used to be my absolute favorite, but something's changed. It is lacking in fullness and body & leaves just a blah taste. I won't be buying it anymore. Too bad, Starbucks used to provide a good cup of coffee with Pike Place & I know others have noticed the change.

A nice middle of the road coffee

Love having the large bags of Starbucks Pike available. How about the decaf, too?

Starbucks coffee for 12$ for 2.5 lbs, it’s a steal. You get french roast / pike roast flavors .

Same yummy flavor with lower cost than buying at the shop.

The best price I've been able to find.

Love this coffee…comes ground. Smells and tastes great!
