The Starbucks location on Lakemont Boulevard in Bellevue is being considered for the company’s new “Evenings Menu”, a company spokesperson confirmed to the Reporter.

Starbucks filed a beer and wine license application with the city of Bellevue on Monday, Aug. 10. It is an initial step

“Just as each customer is unique, so are our stores and we consider a broad range of products and experiences for each neighborhood,” a Starbucks spokesperson said. “It’s a long and thoughtful process and the permit filing is just one of many steps we take.”

The menu will feature an array of wine, craft beer, and small savory plates. The sample menu created by the company includes dishes such as truffle mac and cheese, bacon-wrapped dates and artichoke and goat cheese flatbread.

The sample wine selection is made up of both regional and international wines, including a cabernet sauvigon from the Columbia Crest winery in Washington.

Starbucks currently offers their Evenings Menu at select locations across the country, including one other location in Bellevue, and a handful in Seattle, Kirkland and Issaquah. They first introduced alcoholic beverages in one Seattle location in October 2010, according to Reuters, and have expanded slowly since then.

At the time, Clarice Turner, Starbucks’ senior vice president of U.S. operations, told Reuters that many other restaurants sell beer and wine and that Starbucks is no stranger to venturing into new territory.

“It’s just a natural place for people to connect and unwind,” Turner said.
