The new drive thru Leon restaurant currently being built on Wetherby Road in Harrogate is expected to open in early May.
The healthy fast food chain has about 70 outlets in the UK and opened its first drive thru in Leeds last year. The Harrogate venue will be its second drive thru.
EG Group, which owns the site, received planning permission to open a Starbucks on the site of the former dental surgery.
Its planning application was approved despite concerns about the volume of traffic.
A Leon spokeswoman confirmed the site would now be used exclusively as a Leon drive thru, which she added was “scheduled to open in early May”.

She said the restaurant would create up to 15 jobs and there would be more than 50 seats inside and about 16 outside.
The spokeswoman added:
“We are so super excited about launching our second drive thru restaurant in Harrogate.”
