Starbucks is opening the newest restaurant on Randolph Street, home to big-name chefs like Stephanie Izard and Rick Bayless. The coffee giant is bringing pizza al taglio and more to Chicago next week when it opens the second U.S. outlet of Princi, a bakery from Italy that arrived stateside earlier this summer in Seattle. A New York location will open this fall.
Tuesday is opening day at 1000 W. Randolph Street. Princi will offer table service in addition to the normal Starbucks experiences. It’ll also have wine and beer at Bar Mixato, creating the type of atmosphere piloted by Starbucks when it launched its Starbucks Evenings program. Baristas will pour upscale and pricier Starbucks Reserve coffees.
