How many Starbucks locations are there in Brooklyn at present? 21. How many will there be in three years? About 100. At yesterday’s quarterly Brooklyn Real Estate Roundtable luncheon at the Brooklyn Historical Society, the coffee giant’s real estate broker in Brooklyn noted that the company was planning to open 25 stores a year for the next three years and that, given the recent transformation of Brooklyn, its expansion was “not precluded from any neighborhood.” (The recently-opened location in Brighton Beach, for example, has been a big success.) Hey, maybe Crown Heights will get its day in the services sun after all? Clinton Hill, Bed Stuy and PLG are also lacking, for that matter.

  1. it’s the workaholic money-obsessed NYC culture that requires coffee to keep working longer hours in order to get money to buy SUVs and Condos that is the root of the problem here.

    Boycott all coffee. Free yourself from the dependency cycle.

    (btw, starbucks isnt good coffee, its just excessively high caffeine coffee. don’t let your drug addiction do the talking.)

  2. i lived near the ozzie’s on 5th for years. they rarely opened on time and the staff SUCKED. they would be high or hung over or both. then there would be a really long line, but one of the workers would be in the back or worse, just sitting having a coffee themselves.

    way more money for less than starbucks there for sure.
