[Kristie Lee, 04/07/2021]The Steaming Kettle is back in place!
[Lisa, 01/20/2017]The teapot is presently gone from its usual location. An employee inside Starbucks said that large construction vehicles that passed by knocked it down and broke it on multiple occasions. The repaired teapot is expected to return once construction is completed across the street, but that may not be for over a year from now.
