A brand new Starbucks store is open on the corner of 12th Street and S. Fern Street in Pentagon City.
The cafe opened last week and has already attracted a sizable flock of MacBook-bound latte sippers.
The coffee shop is one of the first businesses to open along the new 12th Street extension between Fern and S. Eads Street. A Whole Foods is also opening soon on the block, and a competing cafe — Commonwealth Joe — is working to open its “flagship” location on the block, on the ground floor of the new Bartlett apartment building, this summer.
