Starbucks Hours: Open & Close Times, 24-Hour & Holiday Hours by Location

Starbucks Hours: What Time Do They Open and Close?

Starbucks lists a separate weekly schedule for every cafe on its store locator. The table below was read from those listings on October 13, 2026, in Seattle and Chicago, and it shows how much the same brand can differ within a single city.

Read top to bottom, the table sorts itself by who runs the building. The two standalone Chicago cafes are the early ones, opening at 4:30 AM. Grocery counters follow the store around them and begin at 6:00 AM. Target cafes begin at 8:00 AM, and a convention or office location can run on a calendar of its own, including a Monday that is longer than the rest of the week at McCormick Place.

How Early Does Starbucks Open, and How Late Does It Stay Open?

Not one of these cafes in Seattle or Chicago was open past 9:00 PM that day. If you are hunting for an evening coffee, a standalone cafe is the best bet, and even then the latest closing we saw was 9:00 PM at 31st & Halsted in Chicago. A search for "open late" is usually answered by a drive-thru location, not by an in-store counter.

Starbucks Inside Target, Safeway and Other Stores: Do They Have Different Hours?

Yes, and the difference is easy to see. Starbucks itself says that cafes inside grocery stores, malls or offices may follow the host location's hours, and the sample listings agree.

• The Target Seattle Pike Plaza cafe lists 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM every day, seven days a week, with no weekday-versus-weekend difference.
• The Target South Loop cafe in Chicago lists 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM every day.
• The Safeway counter in Seattle runs 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM and the Jewel-Osco counter in Chicago runs 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, both seven days.
• A store-based counter generally shows no Drive-thru option; the in-store listings above offer In café service only.

Is Starbucks Open Right Now? How to Check the Starbucks Near You

The fastest check is the Starbucks store locator or the Starbucks app. Both show whether a cafe is open, when it next opens ("Opens Tuesday at 5:00 AM" was the wording on the early-morning results we read), and whether it offers in-cafe seating, a drive-thru or ordering ahead.

• Search a city, ZIP code or address in the locator, and the list of nearby cafes sorts by distance.
• Open the details panel for a cafe to see all seven days, the phone number and the amenities.
• Look for the order options on each result: In café, Drive-thru and Order Here are shown separately.
• If a normally open cafe shows Closed during the day, call that cafe; the listing in the locator carries a phone number.

This page's status widget uses typical hours for the brand, so treat it as a guide only. A Seattle search at night listed every downtown result as closed with an opening time between 4:30 AM and 8:00 AM, and the soonest to open was a drive-thru cafe on Mercer Island at 4:30 AM.

Starbucks Drive-Thru Hours

Starbucks does not publish a company-wide drive-thru schedule. In the locator, cafes that have a drive-thru are tagged with Drive-thru beside In café, and the hours shown apply to the cafe listing. The Chicago drive-thru at 31st & Halsted opened at 4:30 AM and closed at 9:00 PM daily, while the Mercer Island drive-thru near Seattle opened at 4:30 AM on the day we searched.

Starbucks Hours on Saturday and Sunday

Most of the cafes we read kept the same hours seven days a week, which is why a Sunday visit to the Pike Place location or a South Loop Target is predictable. The exceptions are the ones to watch. The Jaslin Hotel cafe in Chicago opened at 6:30 AM on weekdays but at 7:00 AM on Saturday and Sunday, and stayed open until 6:30 PM on Friday and Saturday. McCormick Place opened at 8:00 AM on Sunday and closed at 2:45 PM, while the downtown Seattle Columbia Center cafe was closed both days.

Is There a 24-Hour Starbucks?

None of the fifteen or so cafes we read in Seattle and Chicago was open around the clock, and the latest closing time was 9:00 PM. That fits what Starbucks shows publicly: its locator lists opening and closing times for each cafe, with nothing that marks a cafe as 24-hour. If a search for "24 hour Starbucks near me" returns a result, check the locator for the actual closing time before driving there.

Late-night alternatives are drive-thru restaurants, such as the 24-hour locations covered on the McDonald's page.

Starbucks Holiday Hours: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and More

Starbucks' own holiday guide says that most coffeehouses are open on many major holidays, but hours vary by location, staffing and local conditions, and it tells customers to use the app or locator for real-time hours.

Why Starbucks Cafes Have Different Hours

Starbucks gives two reasons for the variation. First, location type: airport, hospital and hotel cafes often follow different schedules. Second, licensed locations: cafes inside grocery stores, malls or offices may follow the host's hours. Our samples line up with both. The Jaslin Hotel cafe has its own weekend adjustment, the Hilton on Cermak Road runs 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM every day.

• Standalone cafes in the sample opened earliest, at 4:30 AM.
• Store-based counters opened at 6:00 AM (grocery) or 8:00 AM (Target).
• Institutional counters ran short days, such as 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
• Every cafe's hours can change, so a note from last month is not a promise.
