The “steaming kettle” Starbucks location in Boston is closing its doors for good Saturday night, one of hundreds that will close across the US, Canada, and Europe as part of the second round of layoffs for the coffee giant this year.

Customers we spoke with said they were shocked to learn this well-known landmark location would be closing.

The location in Boston officially closes at 9 p.m.
