Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

Coming soon to a Starbucks near you: beer, wine and small plates.

A Starbucks in Calabasas applied for a permit to sell beer and wine last week, according to Eater LA, making it the second Starbucks to apply for an alcohol permit in California after Coronado. No word on when the new alcohol-selling could commence at the Calabasas location at 26531 Agoura Rd. It sounds like ahandful of other locations in Southern California could add booze to their menus, but they haven't been announced yet.

Starbucks has already begun selling beer and wine at locations in the Pacific Northwest. The beer goes for $5, while the wine goes for $7 to $9. The company is rolling out small plates and other savory items on the menu to pair with the booze.
