The coffee is OK. The pods are small and you only get about 5 ounces of coffee per pod. So you use two pods to get a decent size cup. Plus, the pods are more expensive than the other brand and the selection is very limited - to ONLY Starbucks products and few of those. Wish I had done more defensive shopping.

I like strong coffee and usually would go for a darker roast, but I don't like the bitter aftertaste many leave behind. I tried this as a substitute several months ago and just fell in love with the blend. Rich, strong flavor, but absolutely no bitterness at all. I've even convinced a few friends to try it and switch (at least at the office where we share).

I purposely ordered online this time instead of going to a store in San Diego thinking I would get a fresh roasted bag of beans but had to wait a long, long time to receive it in the mail because it came from the state of MS. I don't know if that's Mississippi or Missouri. I thought it would be ground fresh in Seattle where I ordered it from. So it's not too fresh. Disappointed on that end. I guess you have to order the subscription coffee to be fresh. Oh well, I'll go to my corner store to get it next time. I love Pike Place Coffee!! I like the smoothness of it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is definitely my new favorite coffee. The flavor is so good it doesn’t even need anything extra in it. It gives me that extra pick me up I need in the morning. I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends.

From the first aroma of the smooth rich grounds of a freshly opened bag to the best coffee whether unaltered or enhanced, the other coffees I've tried just don't compare. The quality is certainly well worth spending a small amount more on. Thank you Starbucks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love coffee and well I am always up for trying new flavors. This one is delicious. It has a hit of the coffee ans sweetness all in one. A must try. I did not need to add any sugar simply like a splash of milk for those who do not like is black. A must try that it for sure.

I have been drinking Pike Place for YEARS! I stop by twice on my way to work to get a grande pike and when the weekend rolls around and I don't feel like getting out to the store, I grind and make a pot at home. Thanks for some awesome coffee Starbucks!

I treat myself to a venti Pikes Place every Tuesday on my way to our busiest clinic. I know this day is going to be hectic, but before the medical chaos begins, I sip my Pikes Place in the car and love the rich & mellow flavor. I'm a coffee addict who prefers to brew my beverage at home, but I have to admit when I walk into Starbucks and hear the grinders & smell the coffee - I'm happy, happy, happy. I love my Tuesday tradition and love that Pikes Place starts my day right.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very please with the bold (not overly strong) flavor of Starbucks Pike Place Roast coffee. I was afraid that it would be too mild, but I was mistaken. I am adding this to my K-Cup morning coffee rotation.

ok, kids, this is our office coffee...full flavor, not bitter or overpowering, with a good buzz included....we work in emergent sevices, you know, medicine, communications, and coordinating everything from feeding to sheltering, to basically babysitting people in really bad situations, and preparing of all the natural events that can and do occur in a very really rural area. if you are in the trade, you need to spoil yourself, give yourself little treats/rewards to keep going...maybe washing your mouth, or just taking 5 in a quiet place...in our trade:not a happening thing, but a really good cup of coffee, from the french press and a camel just gives enough of respite to mmake things good...the first 24-36 hrs are critical...pretty stressful, so have a good cup and smoke get your team and debrief, destress...just take 5 and totally unload, plus life looks pretty good...things are not as bad a Charlie-Foxtrot as you thougt...there is hope and light at then end of the tunnel...a little sleep and do it again
