While everyone was freaking out about what is or isn't on Starbucks cups this holiday season, Houston residents may have missed what's on the window at the Starbucks location in Rice Village.

Next to the iconic green and white logo is a notice announcing the location's application for a wine and beer retailer's permit. The shop, located at 2520 University Boulevard, is nestled in the Rice Village shopping center and within walking distance of a strip of bars and restaurants in the area.

But before you get too excited, you'll have to wait on the state license.

An employee at the location said they likely won't serve alcohol until April as they wait for approval.
