Listen up java junkies: A new coffee bar has opened at the corner of Perkins and Poplar in the former High Point Coffee location.

Called Poplar Perkโ€™N (how cute is that?), the coffee bar is serving a menu of coffees, lattes, blended drinks, and strawberry and mango smoothies seven days a week.

โ€œWe opened the doors this morning, and the people started coming,โ€ owner Jimmy Whidden said Monday. โ€œThis is an unbelievable location. Iโ€™ve lived within five miles of this intersection my whole life.โ€
