Starbucks La Paz
Three La Paz branches — Galerías La Paz, Plaza Forjadores and a drive-thru on Calzada El Camino Real
Starbucks has three branches in La Paz: inside Galerías La Paz on Boulevard Agustín Olachea, inside Plaza Forjadores on Calzada Forjadores, and a drive-thru on Calzada El Camino Real near Plaza Alameda. All three serve the same menu: espresso drinks, Frappuccinos, Refreshers and tea, plus pastries and sandwiches.
The Galerías branch is the busiest and the easiest to combine with shopping at Liverpool, Suburbia or the cinema. The Plaza Forjadores branch shares its plaza with Coppel and Sears. The drive-thru opens earliest, at 6 AM every day, which makes it handy on the way out of town in the morning.
Prices are in pesos and similar to Starbucks elsewhere in Mexico. You can order ahead for pickup or delivery through the Starbucks México app and the delivery apps. Hours differ by branch and change on holidays, so check before you make a special trip.

How Starbucks came to Mexico
Starbucks reached Mexico in 2002, when its first store opened across from the Ángel de la Independencia on Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City. It is operated in Mexico by Alsea, the Mexican restaurant group that also runs other international chains, which opened four stores that first year.
By 2022, twenty years on, the chain had 753 locations in Mexico and was in all 32 states; Tlaxcala, the last one, got its first store in August 2017. In May 2026 Alsea renewed its agreement with Starbucks for another 20 years, to 2046, covering Mexico and eleven other countries in Latin America and Europe.
