Starbucks officially opened its doors – and its unique drive-thru – in Port Washington this month and has been serving up its signature coffee and drinks to the North Shore.
The Starbucks, located in Port Washington North’s Soundview Marketplace on Shore Road, is the first of the franchise to include a drive-thru on the peninsula. There are multiple other Starbucks locations in the general area, including another on Port’s Main Street and Manhasset’s Plandome Road, but none feature a drive-thru.
The new location is in a standalone building in the parking lot of the shopping center.
“This addition not only brings more convenience for our coffee lovers but also highlights our ongoing commitment to promoting economic development in the area,” Port Washington North Mayor Robert Weitzner wrote in a newsletter. “We look forward to seeing you there and continuing to support our thriving community!”
It was announced at a Board of Trustees meeting in March 2023 that the new coffee shop would be coming to the village, taking about a year and a half to open after submitting its application.
The Soundview Marketplace has welcomed other big-name franchises in the past year, with Starbucks being the latest to open its doors.
This includes Crumbl Cookies, famous for its large, specialty cookies, which opened in June 2023. Upcoming business openings include Just Salad, a casual salad take-out chain, and pet groomer Woof Gang.
