Time was, you couldn’t dream of finding a Starbucks in Harlem. The first Starbucks to arrive in Harlem in 1999 was a joint venture between Magic Johnson and Starbucks, and was part of a special effort to reach “inner city” and “under-served” neighborhoods. It opened on 125th Street at Lenox Avenue.
Well, now Harlem is ready for its fourth Starbucks location! The new store will be on 125th Street between Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd. and Frederick Douglas Blvd. Last time we walked by (earlier this week), they were preparing the store.
The other Harlem Starbucks locations are at 145th Street and Frederick Douglas Blvd. (in the lobby of the Langston building) and the recently opened store in the lobby of the new SOHA 118 condominiums, at the corner of Frederick Douglas Blvd. and 118th Street.
The coffee chain is ubiquitous in all other parts of Manhattan — so why not Harlem too? Seems like they’ve finally caught on.
