A full-service Starbucks with a drive-thru is the newest addition at Monroe Crossing.

The Seattle-based coffee giant recently opened its first café in Monroe Township as an endcap of the newly constructed 11,000-square-foot retail component of the mixed-use development.

Commenting on the chain’s arrival, Carey Tajfel, president of East Windsor-headquartered developer TFE Properties, commented, “We are extremely excited … We believe residents and commuters alike will enjoy this Starbucks location.”

“Exciting things are happening on Route 33 in Monroe and surrounding areas, including the construction of new retail centers, multifamily residences, and warehouse development,” Tajfel added.

Located near the intersection of Route 33 and Applegarth Road, Monroe Crossing’s other tenants include a Kiddie Academy child care facility as well as a signed lease with a yet-to-be-announced quick-service restaurant.

Gregg Medvin, executive vice president of Pierson Commercial, Monroe Crossing’s leasing and management agent, said, “The long-anticipated Route 33 transformation is underway taking advantage of its heavy vehicular traffic and large surrounding residential and warehousing projects, with future retail development to follow.”

He went on to note, “Monroe has strong income levels and continues to grow exponentially, yet the community is underserviced with shopping options. We are fortunate to help reshape the retail landscape and work on this prominent Monroe Crossing project.”
