Over the weekend we saw the finishing touches being put on a new standalone Starbucks at the East Lake Shopping Center (2135 Roswell Road).
A reader sent us word on Sunday that it’s now open. The hours are 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday-Saturday.
This is the ninth Starbucks in the East Cobb area, and it’s right across the street from a smaller Starbucks inside the Kroger at the Pavilions at East Lake, and a mile or so from another Starbucks at Roswell and East Piedmont.
(See the map for more details.)
The new East Lake location was built on the site of a former bank, and is near the Los Bravos Mexican restaurant.
There’s a drive-through and indoor seating, as well as mobile app ordering and Wi-Fi.
Another standalone Starbucks is in the works at Paper Mill Village, with a delayed rezoning case requesting demolition of the existing small coffee shop for a 5,000-square-foot, two-story building.
That first hearing is tentatively scheduled for April 3 before the Cobb Planning Commission.
Back in service
What was supposed to be a short closure in February to expand drive-through service turned into be a longer hiatus for the Chick-Fil-A Lassiter (3046 Shallowford Road).
Store management announced on Friday that it’s reopened at its usual hours, after “a few unforeseen delays.”
The store had scheduled a Daddy Daughter Date Night but due to the closure that’s been rescheduled for March 25.
