Streetlevel: A Starbucks on Every Corner?
How many Starbucks locations are there in Brooklyn at present? 21. How many will there be in three years? About 100.

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.
Bed Stuy has real coffee shops like Bread Stuy, bushbaby, Common Grounds, Tiny Cup and Twofiftyeight Cafe – all home grown – we don’t need Starbucks.
well i guess you celebrators of economic development get the world you deserve.
Bland, corporate, calculated .. servers with cold dead eyes.
It is rumored that a Starbucks will open at Franklin and Eastern Pkwy once that development is complete as well as on Fulton St. and Greene Avenue in the former hardware store in Ft.Greene as well as the spot where Mikes Diner is currently operating in Clinton Hill. Dont know if these will occur but only time will tell.
please please put it in the empty storefront on driggs and N. 7th in front of the L and where the bus empties out the people from greenpoint.
joes busy deli has BAD coffee and altho the Broolyn Brown coffee truck is good, they run out of muffins and pastries, and they don’t have receipts.
i now have to walk to atlas to get coffee (not a fan of oslo’s drip, sorry)
love the starbucks venti coffee. these neighborhood shops are usually selling smaller cups of coffee for more money.
starbucks pays decent wages and benefits to its workers. while all the hate?
Yessssss.
Starbucks is anathema to dilettantes and anarchists only.
To the rest of America, it’s progress.
Keep ’em coming.
coffee = drugs
hipster=douchebag
“Seen all the hipsters at that station lately?”
Nope.
BRING IT ON ALONG THE PH/CH BORDER! We have NO place to get coffee on the way up the hill on Washington Ave to the E Pkwy stop on the 2/3 in the morning. Seen all the hipsters at that station lately? I for one would not patronize, but would surely appreciate bringing in some new types of business on Washington Ave.
