KNOTT’S MARKETPLACE STARBUCKS- At the tail end of the 2014 season, Knott’s Berry Farm started serving Starbucks coffee at the Gourmet Coffee Hut in the Boardwalk district of the park. The menu was limited, but consumers were able to get their fix.

Update: Starbucks soft opened March 14 with the official opening being March 18.

Today, Knott’s Berry Farm announced a 935 square foot Starbucks store will open in March 2016 in the California MarketPlace, just outside the park. The Starbucks store will take over the Dreyer’s Ice Cream stand.

Knott’s follows Cedar Point, King’s Island and Canada’s Wonderland as the fourth Cedar Fair Park to open a Starbucks location at its theme park.

The new store will not offer boysenberry punch or the boysenberry latte.
