New Starbucks Coming To The Upper West Side: Here's Where

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — Starbucks lovers rejoice. A new location of the popular coffee chain appears close to opening on the Upper West Side as a "COMING SOON" sign was recently unveiled on a vacant storefront on Columbus Avenue between 67th and 68th Streets.

ILoveTheUpperWestSide was the first to report on the new Starbucks opening.

The location will more or less replace a former Starbucks on Columbus Avenue and 67th Street that closed in 2016.

The world's largest coffeehouse chain is hardly a newcomer to the Upper West Side as the soon to open location is joining a long list of outposts already in the neighborhood.

Here are those UWS locations:

• 100th Street and Columbus
• 95th Street and Broadway
• 88th and Broadway
• 86th and Columbus
• 81st and Broadway
• 81st and Columbus
• 75th and Broadway
• 73rd and Columbus
• 70th and Broadway
• 66th and Amsterdam
• 47 West 66th
• 63rd and Broadway
• 61st and West End
• 59th and Columbus

Permits were filed in December 2020 for the new Starbucks at 159 Columbus Avenue, between West 67th and 68th Streets. The coffee retailer will be replacing an Unleashed By Petco and a GNC.

Both of which closed in the summer of 2020.

It is not clear when exactly the new Starbucks will open.
