Starbucks Coffee

Opens at 06:30 for the first coffee of the day

This Starbucks at Osaka Itami Airport starts pouring drinks at 06:30, earlier than many cafés in the terminal. That matters if you’re catching the first domestic departures out of ITM and want something familiar before security queues and boarding calls. Official hours run until 20:30, with last orders at 20:00, so it covers the morning and afternoon waves but not the final late-night flights.

Location shifts a bit by concourse label, but this is on the domestic side of Itami (T), serving people connecting through Osaka on JAL, ANA, and other domestic carriers. Prices track typical Japanese Starbucks levels: think roughly ¥450–¥550 for a tall latte and around ¥300–¥400 for drip coffee, so not cheap, but predictable compared with some airport-only cafés.

The menu is the standard Japan lineup: hot and iced lattes, Americanos, Frappuccino flavors, plus seasonal drinks that rotate every few months. Food runs to sandwiches, hot panini, and sweet snacks like muffins and cakes, usually around the ¥300–¥600 range. If you just landed at Itami around 07:00, this is where many first-timers reportedly head first because most other airport restaurants open closer to regular breakfast hours.

Watch out for: the closing time. With last order at 20:00 and shutters at 20:30, anyone on a 21:00-ish departure may find the lights already off. Local info notes that late-evening passengers often end up hitting vending machines or convenience spots for caffeine instead, so don’t bank on a post-20:00 latte here.

Practical tip: if your flight leaves before 08:00, grab your coffee and any food to go at 06:30–07:00, then head straight for security; lines at Itami’s domestic checkpoints can spike quickly once the 07:30 bank of flights starts boarding.
