Summertown is getting a Starbucks!Originally uploaded by mgharris
Forgive the excitement but it seems that the charming yet overpriced, much-missed Bakehouse is to be replaced with a Starbucks!!!
M&S food, Costa coffee and starbucks…the anti-glob hand-wringers might get in a tizzy but I predict that like Costa, the place will be full all day from day one.
Summertown has a lot of caffeine-hungry people! There’s all the year 11s and older from Cherwell, the mums-with-babies, the big-haired lads and lasses from Teddy’s, the Oxfam and Oxford Uni employees.
Not to mention the itinerant authors with wayyy too much time on their hands.
I hear that JK Rowling has been spotted writing in cafés again. Good onya, Jo. Get cracking. I don’t see why being a squillionaire should get anyone off the hook, when there’s a hungry audience waiting for the next fix from a creative mind.

It was this very blog entry that I spotted before we opened the store in Summertown and I’d like to say thank-you for making me and the team feel so welcomed.
Look forward to seeing you in store.
Hey Matt! Thanks!
Might see in you in a bit, actually. I’m hungry for one of your damn fine cheese-and-marmite paninis…
