Starbuck's JH's
When construction began in December, one of the construction workers said they planned to open in February. I was very skeptical. How could they possibly open in 3 months? We'll, the opening date is February 22. The furniture has arrived, pictures are on the wall, and it all looks fantastic and very inviting.

Thanks for the update. This is good news for property value and the ability to hang out for extended period of times...bad news for Espresso 77. I hope the 'hood can support both. I think it would help for Espresso to offer a cheese plate (something they had talked about doing but I don't think they have yet).

re: ZestyZ
i don't think there'll be any problem on Espresso 77's end. they serve a good quality product with the sort of care, friendliness and ambience you can only find at a small-scale local merchant. there will always be people who'd just as soon go to a Subway as a Sal, Kris and Charlie's (or a Fresco Tortilla as a Coatzingo). the two aren't even the same beast, in my opinion, but i've only been in starbucks a half-dozen or so times in my life -- always at the behest of others. just never appealed to me as an aesthetic choice, and i find Dunkin Donuts' coffee to be better.... then again, i only drink plain ol' coffee (no flavorings or whipped cream or anything) so maybe i don't have a clue...

re: aram
Their drip coffee? I've had warm, rusty water come out of my tap after a boiler cleaning that tasted better. Their espresso however I've found to be a hidden treasure. It's actually only about as strong as a normal, strong cup of drip coffee but the flavor is decent and at about a buck fifty for a double it's actually a good value.
