About this location
This Starbucks anchors the Terminal 3 food hall near gates 30 through 38, alongside Alfred Coffee, Cava and Chicken and Beer -- making it one of two coffee counters in the same short stretch. LAX carries five Starbucks locations altogether, so this branch is one option among several scattered across the airport, distinguished mainly by sitting inside the T3 cluster rather than in Tom Bradley or Terminal 1. Takeaway only, with no seating attached to the counter itself.
One of 5 Starbucks locations at Los Angeles International Airport (Terminal 2, Terminal 3, Terminal 6, Terminal B).
