A new Starbucks store at Upper St. Martin’s Lane serves alcohol as part of a new move to make the coffee giant an evening venue as much as a day cafe.
At the new store in the heart of the West End in Covent Garden which opened today (October 21), a range of wine and craft beers will be sold between 4pm and 9pm.
Keen to show it is on trend, it will serve up two local brews - Five Points beer from Hackney and London Alt beer from Battersea.
Even the coffee is getting an upgrade as the 'Star Reserve' store will offer five exclusive beans from around the world that could cost caffeine lovers at least £6.
Customers will also get to bypass the Starbucks queue and be served directly from their table.
The store is the second in the UK to be a part of the "Starbucks Evenings" concept.
