Blue Bottle now open on University Place

Starbucks is not the only chain to expand around here. Blue Bottle opened on Wednesday at 101 University Place between 12th Street and 13th Street.

As Eater reported back in June, the San Francisco-based coffee chain "is on an East Coast expansion tear," with six new locations set to open across the city — making for a grand total of 15 stores in NYC alone.

This Blue Bottle, housed in the former Andrade Shoe Repair, is between the incoming Sweetgreen and the News Bar Cafe.
