What Starbucks is this? (Atlanta, Buckhead: condos, house, neighborhood)

It's near Peachtree. What' the address?

[Eunomia]

I believe that's the one at 867 Peachtree Street.

[George Chong]

Yes - I believe so too.

Viewpoint condos is next door, Spire is across the street. That is a busy Starbucks.

I defer to the other posters who seem to have identified the address. But to say this Starbucks is "near Peachtree" is like saying a Starbucks in Manhattan is "near a tall building." There are dozens of streets with Peachtree in the name, and even the main drag that runs through downtown and midtown must have at least a dozen Starbucks on it.

Yeah, it's the Starbucks on 7th and Peachtree. It used to be a Krystal's (at least in the 1950's) from a picture that's hanging in the lobby of 800 Peachtree that shows historic Atlanta. Being an old building, it's not laid out great so it fills up quickly and people block up Peachtree trying to find parking.

There aren't all that many Starbucks on Peachtree from Buckhead through midtown. The one on 17th St they closed so there's just the B&N Buckhead, Peachtree Battle, 14th St, and 7th St. It'd be cooler if Atlanta could support nearly as many Starbucks as Manhattan where you can two on opposite sides of an intersection.

That Krystal was notorious back in the day; among other things it was a hangout for RuPaul. I remember seeing her cruise Peachtree in her stacked heels, which put her at about 7 feet.

I'd rather Waffle House fill that niche in Intown Atlanta...

so much potential...so original...and so southern...!

FWIW, this place was still a Krystal as recently as the early-mid 90's.

It was affectionately known in the neighborhood as the Krack Krystal!

There is a Starbucks at Colony Square, and it's not that crowded.
