Corner of Rt. 50 and Tall Cedars. It's going to have a drive through as well. Should be open in another week or two.

Oh boy , good news.
Now, you can pay for one coffee what you could buy a whole can for.
You can sit with the Metrosexuals while they endlessly play with their laptops and other devices.
Good thing independent deli's or diners aren't taking up that space, over priced chain stores rule!

I guess you haven't had deli/diner coffee in a while, but it's terrible.
I'm always amazed at people who are upset with starbucks. I never go to Sweetfrog or any other 'froyo' shop, but I never bother to take any time to disparage it either. Mainly because I don't care if they exist or not. If people want to spend their money on that, it's their deal.
Starbucks is worth $3 billion for a reason: There was a market for good coffee, and they met the need.

It's supply and demand and sadly, the rent prices in this area are not conducive for small businesses. That's why we have so few independent delis, coffee shops and quality local restaurants.
People in this area prefer institutional crap.
