Kingston Starbucks locations can get busy during the morning rush (7:00 am – 9:00 am) and at lunchtime. If you’re planning a longer work session at Liguanea Plaza or Half Way Tree, arriving before 8:00 am usually means more seating options and faster service.
Starbucks Montego Bay Opening Hours
Montego Bay was home to Jamaica’s very first Starbucks, which opened in November 2017 on the iconic Hip Strip at Doctor’s Cave Beach. Montego Bay now has multiple Starbucks locations, including branches at Sangster International Airport and the Fairview Shopping Centre.
Starbucks Hip Strip (Doctor’s Cave Beach), Montego Bay
This is where it all began. The original Starbucks Jamaica branch on the Hip Strip sits right near Doctor’s Cave Beach — one of the most recognisable spots in Montego Bay. The store features original artwork by local artist Fiona Godfrey and is a popular stop for tourists and locals alike.
| Monday – Friday | 6:30 am – 8:00 pm | Open |
| Saturday | 6:30 am – 8:00 pm | Open |

| Saturday | 6:30 am – 8:00 pm | Open |

Starbucks Sangster International Airport, Montego Bay
Sangster International Airport has three Starbucks outlets — located near Gates 4, 9 and 16 post-security. These are operated by Express Catering (separate from the main Caribbean Coffee Traders licensee) and their hours follow the airport’s daily flight schedule. If you’re catching an early morning or late night flight, these are your best bet for a coffee in Montego Bay.
| Monday – Sunday | Follows airport schedule | Open Daily |
| Early Flights | Opens with terminal operations | Open |
| Public Holidays | Open (airport-dependent) | Open |
The Starbucks outlets at Sangster Airport are post-security, meaning you need a boarding pass to access them. If you’re dropping someone off or picking them up, the nearest Starbucks coffee you can access outside the airport is the Hip Strip branch or Fairview Shopping Centre.
Starbucks Ocho Rios Opening Hours — Island Village
The Ocho Rios Starbucks is located inside Island Village on Turtle River Road, St. Ann. This is a licensed venue within the Island Village entertainment complex, so its hours are set by Island Village rather than the standard Starbucks Jamaica schedule. It is a popular stop for cruise ship passengers and tourists visiting the north coast.
| Monday – Friday | 10:00 am – 5:00 pm | Open |
| Saturday | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm | Open |
| Sunday | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm | Open |
The Island Village Starbucks opens later than other branches (10:00 am on weekdays) and closes earlier. Hours are subject to change depending on Island Village’s operating schedule, particularly on days when cruise ships are not in port. Always verify before making the trip, especially if travelling from outside Ocho Rios.
Starbucks Portmore Opening Hours — Parkway Square
Starbucks expanded to Portmore, St. Catherine with the opening of a new branch at Parkway Square shopping centre. This location serves as a convenient alternative for residents of Portmore and commuters heading into Kingston.
The Parkway Square branch was built under the Starbucks Greener Stores Framework, featuring LED lighting and water-saving fixtures. It opened as part of the brand’s continued growth in Jamaica under Caribbean Coffee Baristas Limited (CCBL).
| Monday – Friday | 6:30 am onwards | Open |
| Saturday | 6:30 am onwards | Open |
| Sunday | Reduced hours | Call Ahead |
Specific closing times for the Parkway Square branch have not been officially published at the time of writing. Call the branch directly or use the Starbucks store locator for the most current schedule.
Starbucks Drax Hall Drive-Thru Opening Hours — Jamaica’s First Drive-Thru
Jamaica got its first Starbucks drive-thru at Drax Hall Plaza in St. Ann, located just minutes from the North-South Highway. This 2,200 sq ft location is ideal for commuters and travellers passing through the area. It features a striking exterior mural by local artist Fiona Godfrey — the seventh collaboration between the artist and Starbucks Jamaica.
Curbside pickup, WhatsApp and call-in options are available at this location, making it one of the most convenient Starbucks branches for on-the-go orders in Jamaica.
| Monday | 6:30 am – 8:00 pm | Open |
| Tuesday | 6:30 am – 8:00 pm | Open |
| Wednesday | 6:30 am – 8:00 pm | Open |

- ! Kingston branches — May operate with reduced hours or close early on public holidays including National Heroes Day, Labour Day and Christmas Day. Call ahead.

About Starbucks Jamaica — Who Operates It?
Starbucks Jamaica is operated under licence by Caribbean Coffee Traders Limited (CCTL) — a consortium led by the Margaritaville Caribbean Group and Sandals Resorts International. The brand first entered Jamaica in November 2017 with a single location on the Hip Strip in Montego Bay, making Jamaica the 76th market globally for Starbucks at the time.
The airport branches at Sangster International are operated separately by Express Catering, which manages food and beverage concessions at the airport. This is why the airport Starbucks branches have different hours and a slightly different feel from the standalone branches.
As of 2025, Starbucks Jamaica has grown to over 11 locations, with branches across Kingston, Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, Portmore and St. Ann. The brand serves classic espresso beverages, Frappuccinos, cold brew, seasonal drinks and food items including pastries and sandwiches. Notably, most Jamaica branches stock Starbucks Reserve Jamaica Blue Mountain whole bean coffee — a nod to the island’s world-famous coffee heritage.
Tips for Visiting Starbucks Jamaica
Whether you’re a local regular or visiting Jamaica for the first time, here are practical tips to make your Starbucks Jamaica visit as smooth as possible.
- → Arrive early to beat the rush — Kingston branches, particularly Liguanea Plaza and Half Way Tree, get very busy between 7:30 am and 9:30 am on weekdays. The queue for handcrafted drinks can be long during this window.
- → Use the Starbucks app to order ahead — Mobile ordering is available at select Jamaica branches. Check the app first to see if your nearest branch supports it.
- → WhatsApp and call-in ordering — The Drax Hall drive-thru and select other branches accept orders via WhatsApp. This is particularly useful for groups or if you’re driving through.
- ✓ Try the Jamaica Blue Mountain drinks — Starbucks Jamaica stocks Starbucks Reserve Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee. It’s worth trying at least once — it’s a high-quality, distinctly Jamaican offering not available at most Starbucks internationally.
- ! Currency — prices are in Jamaican dollars — Unlike some tourist venues, Starbucks Jamaica prices are listed and charged in JMD. Make sure you’re comparing prices accordingly.
- → Wi-Fi and seating for work — Liguanea Plaza and Half Way Tree are among the most popular spots for remote workers. These branches have USB charging ports, reliable Wi-Fi and enough seating for longer sessions.
