Starbucks

Need a latte on Thursday, Nov. 27, 2025? The short answer: Yes—many Starbucks stores are open on Thanksgiving, but hours vary by location and are often shorter than normal. Morning service is most common; some cafés close by early or mid-afternoon. Shops inside host locations (airports, hospitals, grocery stores) usually follow the host’s holiday schedule, while mall locations can mirror the mall’s hours or remain closed if the mall is closed.

What to expect if you’re visiting Starbucks on Thanksgiving

Menu: Core espresso drinks, brewed coffee, and most seasonal beverages usually available; very small stores may trim specialty or cold-beverage options.
Bakery/food: Popular items (croissants, breakfast sandwiches, cake pops) can sell out early due to smaller holiday shipments.
Staffing: Fewer baristas than a typical weekday; lines move, but patience helps during the breakfast rush.
Payments & promos: Mobile pay and rewards work normally; localized promos may be paused for the holiday.

“Near me” playbook (works anywhere)

Use the app’s map. Tap the store pin → review Today’s Hours and service modes (mobile order, drive-thru, delivery).
Check host sites. If your café sits inside a closed retailer, it’s likely closed; if it’s in a grocery store with early closure, expect limited hours.
Airport & travel hubs. Airside cafés often keep early-morning hours aligned to flight banks even when city stores are shortened.
Call as a last resort. Some franchise or licensed locations don’t push real-time updates; a quick call confirms.

Regional notes and common exceptions

New England blue-laws: In parts of Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, large retail rules can influence whether host-site cafés open at all.
College towns & tourist areas: Shops near hotels or transit tend to open earlier and close later than neighborhood cafés.
Weather swings: Early cold snaps or storms can shift opening times—check the app the morning of.
