Starbucks has now debuted on 110th Street by Morningside Park at the new tower built on the corner of Manhattan Avenue. The chain has been uptown for over a decade now so this is not really big news and this particular location seems to be more for just takeout orders. There is a modest communal table at the back end but the narrow space mostly consists of the main coffee bar from what we can see from the outside. When we walked by early evening yesterday, not much was really happening inside the new shop but Cafe Amrita just a couple of doors down was still pretty busy.
what a pity that the ubiquitous Starbucks had to take over such a prime location. Hopefully Cafe Amrita gives it a run for its money!
