Starbucks
Finding it
Starbucks is in Departures in Terminal 2 at Los Angeles International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.
Terminal 2 has 9 places to eat and 6 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 3:30am.
Hours against the security queue
Across the week, LAX security runs longest around 12pm at a median of 20 minutes, and lightest around 1am at 2 minutes.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's LAX wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
Four in the morning is early even by LAX standards, and this counter is running before the first wave of Terminal 2 departures lines up. It stays open past midnight too, closing at 12:30am, which covers the terminal's last boarding calls. Terminal 2 carries five Starbucks locations across LAX; this is the one wedged into a row of fast-casual counters that includes Barney's Beanery, BUILT Custom Burgers and Fresh Brothers Pizza, so getting coffee here means walking past burgers and pizza to reach it. No table service, no bar seating, just a counter and a line.
One of 5 Starbucks locations at Los Angeles International Airport (Terminal 2, Terminal 3, Terminal 6, Terminal B).
