The Advocate’s Elizabeth Kim is reporting on plans for a new Starbucks on the West Side next to the old Bongiorno’s at 288 West. Ave.
FOR THE RECORD: I’m going to call this Southfield, not the West Side, but I guess it’s sort of a middle ground.
It will be the first Starbucks in Stamford with drive-through service and will be an easy on-and-off from exit 6 north or south-bound.
RELATED: this week’s sign the apocalypse is nigh: Starbucks begins selling instant coffee. To be honest, this doesn’t really bother me all that much since I can’t bring myself to drink Starbucks coffee anyway. Whatever comes out of a super-automatic espresso machine is never good. If you really have to go, ask for a French press pot, it’s usually not on the menu, but they will accommodate depending on the location. I really think they should publicize this, but it probably would just slow down service.
Hopefully the planned Fairway Market in the South End will have a coffee roasting facility like their Manhattan location.
