[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starbucks Pike Place is a rich roasted coffee. Felt that it was a smooth tasting coffee. Had subtle hints of cocoa and a nutty note. I don't consider this as flavored coffee but rather a complex coffee with different notes. Great blend from Starbucks that I enjoyed.

I was looking for a substitute for the Colombian coffee that starbuck sold a few years ago. Pike Place seemed like a good bet, with its medium roast and good balance, but it does not compare with the classic coffee flavor that Colombian used to have.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the best coffee Starbucks has. The k cup are easy if you are in a rush. Very good dark coffee. Tastes just as good as store! Fraction of the cost. I highly recommend it if you want to not stop at the store and want to make it at home this is the go to

I have been buying this weekly foe the past 5 years. It’s the only coffee I drink. Within the past month, there has been a chance in the flavoring. It’s not a good change. This leaves a bitter aftertaste that leaves little to be desired. Please bring back the original blend. This new stuff is trash.

I've read so many reviews if Pike Place complaining about it being changed to a "flavored coffee", these are tasting notes people. Not added flavoring. I brew this as pour over and if you think this "new" Pike Place tastes terrible then you are just brewing it incorrectly. I have not tried the "old" Pike Place so I dont fully understand what people are complaining about, but this "new" is NOT flavored coffee and tastes great if you know how to brew.

i work in emeregency mgnt, and medicine, and this what i drink at work....if it is a long shift or God forbid "the Event", ever happens here on the coast, do and will drink it as a treat for working long and hard...i have about 6-8 lbs in my office and a french press....sometimes you need to be nice to yourself...for me a good cup of go juice and a smoke........john

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is fantastic, delicious every day coffee. It is one of Starbucks staples for a reason. I would recommend trying it. It is my favorite go to for every morning. It pairs well with any flavored creamers as well if you like that.

Very disappointed! I agree with the other reviews! I have been drinking Pikes roast since it first came in the whole bean bullet bag. (Many yrs). I was so excited when it came out in VIA form. It was great and had a rich fresh roasted Carmel flavor. Quite good on a stand alone basis. Now has to have cream and sugar. Some packets I've gotten also have been solid. In my opinion the Folders is a bit better. I have know idea what you at Starbucks are trying to pull off but the formula has indeed changed and I am disappointed that you are cutting corners and passing this stuff off for quality. Especially for this price point!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been drinking the pikes place blend k-cups for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it. I think it’s better than going to the store. Now I can make a cup in the morning and bypass the line and enjoy my drive to work

I have been a Via Columbian girl for years even buying it in bulk, but recently receiving Pikes with a mug for Christmas I have changed over. I love the smooth flavor and I feel it's a bit more mild for me and makes a great everyday blend for work and home. Will be signing up for subscription to this one and making sure my desk at work and home always has this in stock. Never thought I would love an instant coffee like this, but it doesn't taste instant and the consistency is amazing.
