According to their site, 240 in my geographic area. That appears to be about an hour’s drive time in all directions.
In my immediate vicinity there are 28, eight of which are within a stone’s throw. On Dupont Circle there are four, each one block away from the next.
I’m proud to announce that my neighborhood turned up its collective nose at Starbucks, opting instead for a Caribou Coffee.
The nearest one is just up the road from me, 1.1 km away. Or, by foot, it would take just under 15 minutes.
However, I’ve pretty much stopped going to Starbucks. I prefer the slightly longer drive to either The Second Cup (far better coffee, less “harsh” tasting) or to Timothy’s (the coffee seems to taste more refined and elegant).

From my workplace, there are four within one block. There are three more within a 3 block radius.
From my home, there is one 3 blocks away and another one three blocks from that one.
23.3 miles away. Since I don’t drink anything they serve, it’s a great location for it, as far as I’m concerned 
I live near the home of Starbucks. There are over 400 Starbucks alone in King County, of which Seattle is part. It is now the only coffee available in the cafeterias at my job. Even the coffee machines dispense Starbucks. I grind and brew my own coffee and I prefer the Seattles Best brand over Starbucks. Just got a fresh supply of Post Alley blend, it will have to wait till tomorrow morning.
One block.
I was always disappointed that Seattle’s Best Coffee (SBC) didn’t become a national chain - I always felt their coffee was superior to Starbuck’s when I lived in Seattle.
But I’ll take a half-caf, skinny mocha grande over a cup of standard, grey NYC joe any ol’ day.
The nearest one to me is in the mall, which is not even two minutes’ bus ride away from my place. (or a fifteen-minute walk)

Hate to hijack, but I was wondering: does Starbucks serve anything to drink besides coffee? There’s a really great guy who suggested going there sometime, and it seems like a great place to just sit and talk for awhile. Only problem is, I don’t like coffee. So what else do they serve?
Southeast Portland, OR here.
They’re located 2 blocks, 8 blocks, 3/4 mile, 1 mile, 1.5 miles and 2.4 miles from my house - and those are just the ones I walk to.
In addition to Starbucks, we also have approximately 25 other local coffee and coffee-like-hot-drink vendors within about a 5 mile radius of my house.
OK, so maybe were not QUITE as saturated with espresso as Seattle, but…
monica - they have chai and other teas, hot chocolate, fruit juice, etc. besides coffee.
However - are you sure you want to deal with the Caffiene Police with the little green badges?? 
.2 miles, 2.2 miles, and in the opposite direction, 2.4 miles
Ha, you wish.
The closest Starbucks to me is a 5 hour flight. 3972 km to Sydney, or 3456 km to Melbourne.
Western Australia, Starbucks-free!
Hehehe.
Went to the Starbucks site, told it I was in Australia and entered my postcode. It asked me to confirm which of three towns I live in (two small ones share my town’s postcode), I clicked the correct one, and then it gave me a list of the 500 Starbucks closest to me. Number one:
Hahahaha. Nice try, Starbucks website. I suspect the one in Melbourne, Australia is closer to me than the one in Abbotsford, Canada.
Number two is a different story:
It just so happens I’ll be there in late October. How did they know?
Narrad - how far are you from Singapore, and is it still Starbucks free?
According to the website, 7.2 miles away. I pass about a dozen coffee shops on my way to and from work each day, mostly the mom-and-pop type of shop. The closest is half a block down the street–there’s one house between me and it, and I usually eat breakfast there on Saturday, though I don’t drink the coffee, as I find the taste of coffee disgusting. They do actually know how to serve hot tea properly (a pot of boiling water with the bags on the side; hot tea should never be served pre-brewed), so they’ve earned my business.
I had occasion at work to speak to a professional who was called upon to perform his services at a Starbucks. He was dispatched to the corner of Streets A and B.
He arrived on site, only to find that there were literally four Starbucks at this intersection.
And from my house, I’m less than 1 mile, or a 5 minute drive/walk, to the Starbucks inside of the local mall.
Hmm, good point cazzle. Singapore has a great Starbucks stores. However, from memory, flying to Singapore takes about the time as flying to the Eastern States.
Gah. I meant “Singapore has a great MANY Starbucks stores”. I’m not sure whether they are individually great or not.
From the ouutskirts of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, I am about 15Km from the nearest one.
Scary, ain’t it?
8 oz of so-so juice for $2. I was underwhelmed when a coffee drinker convinced me to go though, like you, I don’t drink coffee.
