Starbucks® has thousands of locations across the U.S., and its stores operate with flexible hours that vary by city, store type and whether the location is company-owned or licensed. If you’re trying to grab a coffee on a holiday or during a busy travel weekend, knowing when Starbucks is open can help you plan ahead.

Here’s an easy, year-round guide to Starbucks’ regular hours and 2025 holiday schedule.

Is Starbucks Open on Holidays?

Yes. Most Starbucks stores remain open on major holidays, though hours vary widely by location. Some stores may open late or close early for Christmas, Thanksgiving or Easter. Airport, grocery store and hotel locations often follow the host business’s schedule.

You can always check hours through:

• The Starbucks App
• Starbucks.com store locator
• Host-store hours for licensed locations

Example: A standalone Starbucks may close early on Christmas, while a Starbucks inside a busy airport stays open nearly all day.

Starbucks 2025 Holiday Schedule

Starbucks does not follow the federal banking holiday calendar. Most stores operate on the following holiday schedule in 2025, but hours differ by location:

Starbucks has over 16,000 U.S. locations, and licensed stores inside retailers such as Target, Kroger, Safeway or airports follow the host’s hours.

What If You Need Coffee When Starbucks Is Closed?

If your nearest Starbucks is closed or operating on reduced hours during a holiday, you still have options:

• Order ahead using the Starbucks App
• Check for nearby licensed locations, which may stay open longer
• Purchase Starbucks bottled drinks or cold brew at convenience stores
• Brew at home with Starbucks whole beans, ground coffee or K-Cups
• Reload or manage your Starbucks Card through the app anytime

Example: Many grocery-store Starbucks kiosks remain open on holidays even when standalone stores close early.

Local Store Hours May Vary

Starbucks’ hours vary more than typical retailers. Hours depend on:

• Location type (standalone, mall, airport, grocery store, hotel)
• Local customer demand
• Urban vs. suburban location
• Regional regulations

Always check the Starbucks App for the most accurate, real-time store hours.

Starbucks Regular Business Hours

Although Starbucks hours differ by location, many stores follow this general pattern:

Certain downtown or high-traffic stores may open earlier, while mall locations may open later.

Starbucks experiences some of its highest traffic during morning hours, especially around holidays and travel-heavy weekends.

How To Contact Starbucks

If you need help or want to check store hours:

• Phone: 1-800-STARBUC (1-800-782-7282)
• Website: starbucks.com
• Mobile App: iOS and Android
• Store Locator: For current holiday and daily hours

Customer support remains available online even when stores close early for holidays.

Final Tips for Visiting Starbucks on Holidays

• Check the app first: Holiday hours vary widely.
• Expect busy mornings: Travel hubs and shopping centers see the most traffic.
• Use mobile order & pay: Helps skip lines during holiday rushes.
• Check for licensed locations: Many remain open when standalone stores reduce hours.
• Look for seasonal drinks: Starbucks often brings back holiday beverages and promotions around major holidays.

Example: Starbucks inside airports is often open before 5 a.m. during holiday travel periods.
