About this location
This Starbucks at Gate A2 never closes, one of two round-the-clock options on this run alongside The Brooklyn Counter next door, which also runs 24 hours. Hudson: Manhattan Mercantile, sharing the same gate, doesn't have posted hours at all, and the Hudson two gates down at A4 shuts at 11 p.m., leaving this counter as one of the few options open through a pre-dawn departure or a red-eye arrival at this end of the terminal. Gluten-free items sit on the menu alongside the kosher and vegan tags, a broader dietary list than the sandwich counter next door carries. It's one of seven Starbucks locations at JFK, the only one on this gate run open every hour of the day.
One of 4 Starbucks locations at John F. Kennedy International Airport (Terminal 1, Terminal 4, Terminal 5), and the earliest of them to open.
