There was once a free standing Starbucks at this location, which was demolished to make way for the condominiums in which the new outpost will reside.
A manager at the store - which moved to a temporary location at 855 Peachtree Road in the Viewpoint Highrise - told What Now Atlanta in a phone conversation Thursday that the location will be using Clover Press and Black Eagle coffee machines, and that the Starbucks Reserve outpost will be "all about coffee and getting back to the basics of coffee."
The location will also sell baked goods.
When the original Starbucks at the location moved to make way for the new one, it was not announced that the forthcoming coffee shop would headline as Starbucks Reserve.
Last year, Starbucks Corp. announced it would add 500 "reserve bars" to units worldwide. There is currently one Starbucks Reserve Roastery & Tasting Room in Seattle, the company's home city.
I am hoping that part of this store will serve up some wine. Saw that at a store in Marietta a year ago but haven't since then!
