New York City’s Meatpacking District will house the world’s largest roastery for Starbucks, scheduled to open in 2018, according to an April 5 statement from the coffee giant.

The massive, 20,000-square-foot location will be inspired by the Starbucks Reserve Roastery and Tasting Room, which launched in the company’s hometown of Seattle late 2014.

In New York, we want to take elements from what we originally created and build something even bigger and bolder, celebrating coffee and craft in a completely unique and differentiated way.
