Starbucks stores may adjust their hours depending on the location

Starbucks locations generally remain open on New Year’s Day, but hours of operation can vary. Depending on local demand and staffing, some stores may open later or close earlier than usual. Urban areas and locations near major highways are more likely to stick to regular hours, while stores in quieter neighborhoods might adjust their schedules. Before heading out, use the Starbucks store locator on their website or app to confirm your local store’s hours.

New Year’s Day is a great time to try something new at Starbucks

Once you’ve checked the hours, you can plan your day accordingly. If your store is open, consider making your visit extra special.

New Year’s Day is a great time to try something new, like a drink from Starbucks’ secret menu or a seasonal favorite.

If your usual store is closed, don’t worry—many stores in high-traffic areas like airports or shopping centers are likely to be open. Plus, the app can help you find an alternative location nearby.
