Reader Laura tells me that a new sign has appeared at 210 W. Carrillo St., the former home of Carrows, confirming what Restaurant Guy readers have known since November 14th: Starbucks is coming.

Cue the Jaws theme?
Can anyone confirm the Starbucks in IV closed down? I’m pretty sure I read that in the IV column in the Indy. Seems like that would be an odd one to close as it’s high volume. Either way the last thing we need is more Starbucks, their coffee is downright vile.
Nope they are still there.
So is the author of the article confused or what? “There are quite a few changes going on in downtown I.V. right now. Starbucks is gone, and South Coast Deli is in.” http://www.independent.com/news/2012/jan/07/isla-vistas-brand-new-bag/
The Independent also announced that Petros was not taking over Cafe Buenos Aires so they are not always right
I stopped by Starbucks I.V. today 1/12/12 and they were open and packed with customers.
Pretty soon all there will be in the world are Starbucks and Subways, its all you need Mr Anderson.
That’s great news! Am always looking for a place I can write my screen play! Because browsing the Internet is so much cooler when done at a Starbucks!
It looks like they may have a drive-thru.
Can’t have a drive through unless one already existed at that site, and I’m not sure if one was there before or not. It’s a city code-type thing.
Does anybody know what is coming into the space next to this new Starbucks?
Too bad. Another over-priced chain serving a mediocre product.
For coffe drinkers who grind their own beans at home check out this site which will ship to you:
