Always-open Canadian stores — late-night and pre-dawn coffee, seven days a week.

Quick Answer
True 24-hour Starbucks locations in Canada are rare — under 1% of total stores. They cluster inside Pearson (YYZ) and Vancouver (YVR) airport terminals airside, major hospitals in Toronto and Vancouver, and a handful of TransCanada Highway rest stops in Alberta and BC. Standalone 24-hour drive-thru Canadian Starbucks are almost nonexistent outside of select interstate corridors.
Most Canadian Starbucks open between 5:30 AM and 6:30 AM and close between 8 PM and 10 PM. True 24-hour operation requires continuous staffing across three shifts, which is only economical in venues with 24-hour demand: international airports, major teaching hospitals (Toronto General, VGH), and 24-hour highway service centres.
Even at 24-hour-flagged Canadian stores, a handful close briefly for cleaning between 2 AM and 4 AM. Unlike the U.S., Canadian standalone 24-hour drive-thrus are rare — Tim Hortons dominates the overnight highway market, and Starbucks does not compete heavily in that segment.
The Starbucks app shows the full 24-hour schedule for qualifying Canadian stores. If a 24-hour store temporarily reduces hours (staffing, maintenance, weather), the app updates — treat the app as authoritative, not signage at the door. Winter storms in Eastern Canada routinely pause overnight operations.
Filter by the 24-Hour feature on our directory or check the Starbucks app store locator. Airports (Pearson, Vancouver, Montreal-Trudeau) and large teaching hospitals are your safest bets. Suburban standalone Canadian stores are essentially never 24-hour.
Mostly yes, because the 24-hour flag comes from the host venue (airport, hospital) which does not observe the corporate holiday calendar. Christmas Day and New Year's Day are the two exceptions to watch — some airport concession schedules reduce to airside-only during those days.
Yes at 24-hour stores, during their open window. The app automatically disables Mobile Order at closed Canadian stores. If the 24-hour store has a temporary overnight pause (cleaning), Mobile Order is disabled during that window.
Tim Hortons owns the overnight drive-thru coffee market in Canada with far more 24-hour stores. Starbucks focuses on daytime and commute windows where its premium positioning works best. Overnight staffing economics also run tighter in most Canadian suburban markets.
