Mission

What we do

We maintain an indexed catalogue of 12,000+ Starbucks locations with verified addresses, coordinates, opening hours, and amenity information (drive-through, Wi-Fi, mobile order, outdoor seating, outlet count, ambient noise level). Every store page includes directions, a map, nearby landmarks, and a pre-generated quick-answer summary.

Sources

Data sources

Store locations and metadata are sourced primarily from OpenStreetMap under the ODbL, supplemented by public business registries and our own verification checks. Read our data methodology for full detail.

Methodology

How the directory is built

    Extract

    Pull Starbucks records from the OpenStreetMap Overpass API using the brand:wikidata=Q37158 filter — 12,312 raw locations.

  2. 02
    Normalize

    Apply Jaccard similarity near-duplicate detection across (country, state, city) tuples and remove duplicates (5 removed in April 2026).

  3. 03
    Enrich

    Reverse-geocode 2,067 stub addresses and cross-reference coordinate data against public business registries.

Principles

Editorial principles

Verifiable facts only

We cite only facts that are verifiable from source data or public records.

Deterministic content

Page content is generated deterministically from structured data; prose is validated against a proper-noun allow-list to prevent hallucination.

No affiliation claimed

We do not claim affiliation, endorsement, or partnership with Starbucks Corporation.

Corrections welcome

Incorrect information can be reported via our contact page; we review and correct within 14 business days.

Ownership

Ownership & funding

Coffee Near You is operated by an independent publisher and funded solely through display advertising via Google AdSense and Amazon Associates affiliate links. We do not accept sponsored content, paid placements, or pay-for-inclusion in our directory. Every Starbucks location appears because it exists in our public data source, not because it was paid for.

Ethics

Diversity & ethics

We treat every store record equally regardless of corporate vs. licensed status, neighborhood demographics, or traffic volume. During the index-recovery review, synthetic outlet, noise, Wi-Fi and neighborhood-ranking signals are not used as evidence. Location records remain subject to the source and validation limits documented in our methodology.
