Some people take their coffee black, but now Bay area residents can drink it green.
Back in 2008, Dunkin Donuts — the all-day stop for coffee and baked goods — launched its first-ever “Green” café" in the heart of St. Petersburg. That shop scored the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification in 2010, a benchmark measuring minimal environmental impact in building design.
Now, the franchise takes another shot, opening its second environmentally friendly restaurant on Fourth Street, in the Garden District, near the Old Northeast neighborhood of St. Pete.
So lace up your sneakers and head down for the Jan. 13 grand opening.
Fri., Jan. 13, 1 p.m., 1046th Fourth Street North, St. Pete.
