What Time Does Starbucks Open and Close? (2026 Hours)

Most Starbucks stores open between 5:00 and 7:00 a.m. and close between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. Some close as late as 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. Hours are set by each store, so the time you need can be different from the one next door. This guide covers what time Starbucks opens and closes, Sunday hours, 24-hour stores and Thanksgiving.

Starbucks has no single national schedule. Company-run cafes and licensed cafes (inside stores and airports) work differently. To see prices for your drink, use our Starbucks menu with prices page.

Starbucks Hours by Store Type

Here are typical windows for each kind of store. They are general patterns from news and guide sites, not official times.

City stores often open earlier. Rural stores may open closer to 7:00 a.m. The only way to know is to check your store.

What Time Does Starbucks Open?

If you ask what time does Starbucks open, the usual answer is 5:00 to 7:00 a.m. on weekdays. Busy city and commuter stores tend to be on the early end. Airport stores often open at 4:30 or 5:00 a.m. so travelers can get coffee before early flights. A Starbucks inside a Target generally opens when the Target does, which is around 8:00 a.m. at many stores.

What Time Does Starbucks Close?

When does Starbucks close? Many stores close between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. Other guides put the range at 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. for busier stores. Both can be true, because hours depend on location. Stores in offices, malls and grocery stores often close earlier or match the building.

Mobile orders stop when the store closes. A drive-thru lane can close a little before the cafe, so do not arrive in the last few minutes.

Starbucks Sunday Hours

Many stores keep the same schedule all week. Others change on weekends. One store in Alabama opened only half an hour later on weekends, at 5:30 a.m. In a quiet area, a Sunday opening can be as late as 9:00 a.m. A few cafes in office areas are closed on weekends. If you want to know Starbucks Sunday hours for your area, check your store in the app, since the Sunday line can differ from Monday to Friday.

Are Any Starbucks Open 24 Hours?

A few are, but they are rare. Some stores near busy roads or travel hubs run around the clock. Do not count on one in a small town. The store locator can show you if a nearby store is open all day. Our Starbucks breakfast hours guide explains when morning food is served.

Starbucks Drive-Thru Hours

Starbucks drive-thru hours are usually the same as the cafe or a bit longer. Drive-thru stores are among the most likely to stay open late and to stay open on holidays. Some stores close the lobby but keep the drive-thru open, so check the notes in the app.

How to Check Exact Hours

1. Open the Starbucks app and pick your store.
2. Look at the hours for today. They also show special hours for holidays.
3. Or use the store locator on the Starbucks website and tap the store name.
4. If the store is in a Target, grocery store or airport, check the host location too.

The app will not let you place a mobile order from a store that is closed.

Is Starbucks Open on Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving 2026 is Thursday, November 26. We did not find an official 2026 schedule from Starbucks. The details below are from last year and are not 2026 hours.

Last year (2025): news coverage said most Starbucks stores in the United States were open on Thanksgiving, but with reduced hours. One example given for a standalone store was about 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The report said managers set the plan based on demand and staffing. Licensed stores in grocery chains, airports and hotels followed the host. If the host was closed, so was the Starbucks inside.

So the answer for 2026 is likely the same. Many stores open for a short day, and many do not. Check the app on Wednesday, November 25, before you plan a trip.

Christmas and New Year Hours

Christmas Eve is Thursday, December 24, and Christmas Day is Friday, December 25. Hours vary and many stores close early or stay closed on Christmas Day. See our Starbucks Christmas hours guide for details. New Year’s Day 2027 is Friday, January 1. Starbucks has often stayed open on federal holidays like New Year’s Day, but hours vary and the 2027 schedule is not out. We could not find a confirmed schedule, so look in the app.

Other Places for Coffee When Starbucks Is Closed

If your store is closed, try Dunkin menu, Dutch Bros menu or the McDonald’s menu drive-thru. Gas station chains like Wawa menu and Sheetz menu locations often stay open late. Hours differ there too.

Seasonal drinks keep the same menu in most stores, so you can look over the Starbucks fall menu or the Starbucks holiday menu before you go.
