Starbucks Malaysia today unveiled Starbucks Reserve® Tropicana Gardens, the largest in the market. Located in the heart of the bustling community between Kota Damansara and Tropicana Indah, the store features two bars: a main bar offering all core and seasonal handcrafted Starbucks beverages, as well as a coffee bar that offers six different brewing methods, including pour-over, Chemex®, siphon, Black Eagle espresso and Nitro Cold Brew.
The immersive coffee experience – spanning nearly 6,000 square-foot of retail space – celebrates all-things coffee. The layout of the store itself is similar to that of a coffee bean, with a large curvature and floor-to-ceiling windows that connect to a small garden and rapid transit station. The main highlight of the store is a 50-foot wide ‘Wall of Gratitude’, which features photos of more than 200 frontliners medical workers and Starbucks baristas. The mural serves as both a way to pay tribute to the people who have been fighting together against the COIVD-19 pandemic and also as a physical reminder of the events of the past year that have made Malaysians stronger and more resilient than ever.
Starbucks Reserve is a selection of the rarest, most extraordinary coffees Starbucks has to offer. Starbucks Reserve is committed to push even further, scouring the world for its most exceptional beans while evolving the coffee house experience to something surprising and multi-sensory.
Starbucks Reserve, the first of its kind in Malaysia, occupies the 280 sq/m space at The Gardens Mall that was previously occupied by Starbucks. Starbucks Reserve offers premium and rare coffee beans that are only available at the store, as well as a great coffee experience.
It's expensive. Along with classic espresso drinks, the Roastery offers specialty drinks, tasting flights, and a variety of coffee-brewing methods that aren't on offer at typical Starbucks locations. Accordingly, the prices are higher.
The new Starbucks Reserve Roastery is the fourth of its kind in the world and is completely unlike a typical Starbucks. The Roasteries are meant to be upscale, and they feature cocktail bars, bakeries, and...
Read moreMy recent visit to Starbucks Reserve at Tropicana Gardens Mall left me thoroughly impressed. Without a doubt, this outlet stands as one of the finest Starbucks locations in Malaysia. From the moment I entered, I was greeted by friendly and professional baristas who were passionate about their craft.
The first thing that caught my attention was the spaciousness of the store. Unlike many other Starbucks outlets, this one offered ample room to move around comfortably, without feeling cramped or congested. The well-designed layout and thoughtful placement of seating areas allowed for a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.
The ambiance at Starbucks Reserve was simply perfect for a chill-out session. Whether I was in the mood for a slice of cake, a savory snack, or just a hot cup of coffee, this place had it all. It provided an extraordinary setting to enjoy quality time with friends, engage in meaningful discussions, or even find inspiration while working on my laptop. The option of outdoor seating further enhanced the experience, allowing me to soak up some fresh air while sipping on my favorite Starbucks beverage.
What sets Starbucks Reserve apart is the availability of merchandise within the premise. It's not just a coffee shop; it's a place where you can explore and purchase a wide range of Starbucks-related products. From mugs to tumblers, from whole bean coffee to limited edition collections, there's something to satisfy every Starbucks enthusiast. I bought a green tumbler for about RM170.
Overall, my visit to Starbucks Reserve was exceptional. The combination of friendly baristas, relaxing ambiance, and the availability of outdoor seating and merchandise makes it a standout destination for coffee lovers.

Read moreThe Biggest Starbucks Reserve Store in Malaysia. An architecture wonder with exquisite details at every corner. The mere space made available between tables is overwhelming, giving every patron the stretch needed for a private coffee session with loved ones. The jaw-dropping ceiling to floor window makes way for a fantastic panoramic view of the outdoor seating which was set on Japanese Zen concept.
Yes, Malaysia’s weather is hot and humid but one can always choose to sit inside in the well air-conditioned seatings. I for one would love to reserve the outdoor seating for early morning coffee and a sunset chilling place. There are plenty of customised seatings to cater for various types of groups. Couple, friends, working colleagues, lonely wolf counters. The seats are of high quality and does not strain one’s back or bottom seating for the longest time. There’s a reason why people call Starbucks their second home. It’s one place you will go anywhere and know it will be the same. Same comfort, same friendly respectful baristas.
Being a Reserve Store, you can expect to find experienced, skilled and exceptional coffee masters such as Remy, Farisha and Isabel to be guiding you to the best of your taste buds in exploring the coffee world. These people are the best of the best and yet they would go out of their way to make sure the customer is left satisfied and content with the day you spent at Starbucks.
May I suggest, when you go to a Reserve Store, do skip your regular Frappuccino, slushes and such. If you’re at the reserve counter, ask for the rare lot coffee bean of the month along with their history and methods of brewing. Coffee is not just coffee. There’s a whole lot of story from picking a coffee cherry to the coffee in your cup. Knowing those coffee farmers had put their utmost passion, sincere work into their coffee production, we as patrons should appreciate every bit when savoring a...
