Sources & Methodology
Rankings draw on structured store features, never photos or star ratings. Feature tags (drive-thru, Wi-Fi, outdoor seating, Mobile Order) and opening hours come from our index of Canadian Starbucks locations, seeded from OpenStreetMap (licensed under ODbL) and cross-verified against public Google Maps business listings — service options, opening hours, and permanently-closed status — for Canadian cities across every province, refreshed on a rolling basis. Qualifying counts and percentages on this page are computed live from 1,271 indexed Canadian stores. Feature attributes are drawn from OpenStreetMap tags, not official Starbucks figures.
