(Updated on 2/13/15) Clarendon residents will soon have another option to get their caffeine fix.

A Peet’s Coffee & Tea appears on its way, with signs up in the windows of the building at the corner of N. Highland Street and Washington Blvd. The store is expected to open this spring, but “our exact date is still to be confirmed,” according to a company spokeswoman.

When it opens, it will be the second Peet’s location in Arlington, following the coffee shop that opened in Shirlington last year.

Peet’s offers higher-end coffees and teas, and will compete with Oby Lee and the 7-Eleven across Washington Blvd. The location is also a long block away from Northside Social and a third of a mile from the Starbucks on Clarendon Blvd.
