Starbucks Ready to Open At Old Bank on Church Street in New Haven

Starbucks opening up at the old First Niagara Bank site only a few hundred yards from City Hall in New Haven - right across from Green.

NEW HAVEN — Workers were busy Friday installing a sign at the soon-to-be open latest Starbucks coffee shop at 195 Church Street in New Haven, the former First Niagara Bank building.

The new location is right across from the Green in the old bank building, only a few buildings down from City Hall. It is an area that has a ton of food traffic on a daily basis.

Most recently it housed the former Geltman’s Deli Style restaurant.
