Daily Five: Mystic Starbucks Closed Until Feb. 22

Five Things To Know For Monday, Feb. 13, 2012

1. If you're in search of a morning cup of coffee you won't find it at in Mystic. The popular coffee spot is closed until Feb. 22 for remodeling. If you are searching for a new place to get your coffee take a look through our places directory and read or add reviews of some of the other coffee spots in town such as The Yellow House Coffee & Tea Room, Wide World of Bagels or the Green Marble Coffee House. And Starbucks would like me to remind you that the Groton Starbucks at 985 Poquonnock Rd., is only about seven miles away.
