Coffee war!

Ridge residents are abuzz about the coming Starbucks (and it’s not just the caffeine) — a development that is forcing people to take sides in a brewing war of “venti” proportions between corporate chains and mom-and-pop coffee shops. The newest link in the Seattle-based chain will be on Third Avenue between 84th and 85th streets, and is part of the company’s reported plan to open 75 more locations in Brooklyn over the coming years. There are only three chain pizzerias in Bay Ridge, a Domino’s, a Papa John’s, and a Singas, all located on the outskirts of the neighborhood.
