Inside the Pacific Plaza shopping center at 1702 Garnet Ave, 92109, this Starbucks is a coffee and tea shop anchoring one of Pacific Beach's busiest retail hubs. The center ranks in the top three percent of most-trafficked shopping centers within a fifteen-mile radius and draws a higher-income demographic than neighboring retail strips, according to commercial listing data. Pet owners picking up supplies at Petco next door make this Starbucks a natural coffee stop while running errands through the plaza. Starbucks Corporation, founded in Seattle in 1971, operates more than 35,000 stores across 80 global markets. Store #11256 features a drive-through lane—a rarity in Pacific Beach—along with indoor seating, free Wi-Fi, and a full espresso and tea bar. Hours run from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, and the location draws a steady mix of tourists, remote workers, and locals who appreciate the ample free parking lot, another uncommon convenience in the neighborhood. Co-tenants in the center include Vons, Jamba Juice, and Jimmy John's, making a single parking stop efficient for multiple errands. Prescription pickups at CVS Pharmacy on nearby Mission Boulevard pair easily with a quick coffee detour through the plaza. The drive-through lane keeps the morning rush moving for commuters heading toward Interstate 5.
