Morning Brief: April 6
Starbucks lovers, rejoice! In 2018, the chain will open a huge Starbucks Roastery in the Meatpacking District. That's 20,00 square feet of coffee bliss. The Roastery is based on the very first roastery and tasting room from the store's birthplace of Seattle. What makes it different is at the Roastery, it becomes an entire coffee experience as you watch how your coffee is made with the roasting process on full display. And for all you coffee aficionados, the store will offer a unique menu with rare varieties.
