Perhaps, though it seems unlikely given that Kate's has a full liquor license.
Meanwhile, today. EV Grieve reader Greg Masters spotted workers at the retail space of the newly unveiled 219 First Ave. at 13th Street.
"A construction worker at the site ... believes a Starbucks will be moving into the ground-level space."
History proves that construction workers aren't always the most reliable sources of information. New DOB permits show that work is starting today on an "interior fit-out of existing commercial space." No mention of a tenant just yet for 219 First Ave.
Still, the retail listing for 219 First Ave. was chain/franchise baiting... so you might expect something chainy-franchisey here...

"All uses considered" - How bout demo?
I'm confused though--the retail listing is for 219 First Avenue?
And if a Starbuck's truly does open on that corner, it will certainly bookend Ben Shaoul's evil planned condo shithole on the other corner at 5th and may all the people who frequent both end up in their old age at suburban nursing homes, surrounded by miles of malls with soulless, clone-like franchise after franchise after franchise, and then, may they be reborn as water bugs!
