Starbucks has applied for a license to serve beer and wine at its location at 2424 Far Hills Ave. in Oakwood, according to our news partner Dayton Daily News.
The coffee chain has been testing an “Evenings menu” concept that would transform the coffee shops into restaurants with a limited dinner menu and craft-beer and fine-wine offerings. Fewer than 100 stores in the country now offer wine and beer, but the chain is expanding the concept, according to DDN.
So what kinds of offering can you expect on this new menu? How about Parmesan-crusted chicken skewers with honey-dijon sauce, chocolate fondue with a dried fruit medley and cookies, and beer and wine from Argentina, Italy and California, for example.
The food and alcohol selection are part of the chain’s ongoing effort to branch out beyond the coffee through which it became famous, according to the Los Angeles Times.
An employee of the Far Hills Avenue confirmed that Starbucks plans to pilot the expanded hours and menu at the Oakwood shop, but said it could be as long as two years before the changes were fully implemented, DDN reported.
She referred questions to Starbucks corporate officials, who did not immediately respond this morning to a request for details about their plans for the Oakwood store.
At other stores that have added the new menu, adding evening hours has necessitated a renovation of the coffee shop’s kitchen and other improvements.
