After nearly 30 years facing The Cube, the Starbucks outpost at 13-25 Astor Pl. shuttered quietly Sunday evening - and regulars are in mourning over the barren brew site.After nearly 30 years facing The Cube, the notorious Starbucks outpost at 13-25 Astor Place — known for its decrepit public bathrooms, napping homeless folks and indoor panhandling — shuttered quietly Sunday evening.

“I’m actually a little sad because I’ve had coffee so many times here, had so many great conversations here, even went on a few bad Tinder dates here,” Katia Jimenez, 24, told The Post outside the location Sunday.The 2021 remark that led Musk to turn against Biden “Are you serious? How high can rent possibly get that it’s not even sustainable for a Starbucks to stay open here?” Aksakova told The Post, adding the coffee giant’s policy against turning away non-customers has allowed homeless people to “hang out all day” in the space and drive away customers.Aksakova also said the 2022 unionization of the store’s workers “didn’t improve the store’s chances of staying open” — although the company claimed the union had nothing to do with the closure.

“While the terms and locations of partner transfers, or severance for those who do not opt to transfer, will be subject to a negotiated agreement with Workers United, Starbucks is committed to ensuring all partners in these locations are supported through this transition,” the spokesperson added.“I really hope they open another coffee shop or café here, something built with a lot of character and love that makes the neighborhood better,” one Starbucks regular told The Post.
