LAFAYETTE, CALIFORNIA – The Starbucks at La Fiesta Square in downtown Lafayette is temporarily closed. As of this morning, the cafe at 3547 Mt. Diablo Blvd. was not serving customers, and the Starbucks app showed the store as “Temporarily Closed.” No reopening date was posted at the shop or in the app.
The closure appears to be a short-term pause rather than a permanent shutdown. Staff on site were not available for comment, and no official explanation was displayed.
This brief closure comes as Starbucks continues to rework parts of its store portfolio nationwide. Company leadership has said it is closing and remodeling select cafes while still opening others, with decisions driven by leases, performance, and customer experience goals.
Bay Area residents have already seen several high-profile changes this fall, including permanent closures in San Francisco and Walnut Creek, even as other stores remain open or are refreshed.
The Starbucks website lists a reopening date of Sunday at 5am, so hopefully the closure is just a minor local issue and the store will be back up and running soon. Still, with the bigger nationwide closures, any time a Starbucks location shuts down it makes people jumpy!
We will update this story when Starbucks provides a timeline for reopening or details the reason for the temporary shutdown.
