This was the Starbucks located in the TYS Airport food court. I had just gotten off of a pretty long flight, so I needed some caffeine to help keep me alert and awake for the drive out to Pigeon Forge. Sure the price was on the high side for a tall flat white at $5.90, but it was quite convenient. I was able to place my order on the mobile app and get my drink with very minimal wait time. The quality and taste of my coffee was on par with what I've come to expect from any Starbucks. read more

Convenient location in the secure zone at Knoxville airport for drinks while waiting for your flight. They allow mobile ordering here through the Starbucks app, however, the line wasn't very long when I stopped by so I didn't bother. Use your Starbucks app/card when paying to collect Stars towards free rewards though! And if you are an airport/airline employee, don't forget to show your ID for a 10% discount! read more

Very weak drinks at airport prices. My matcha latte is half foam. No taste. Lots of ice. The green color is so pale. The iced caramel protein latte we got is dark brown so not much protein or latte to it. Again lots of ice. Staff very aloof though we were the only people there but that's ok cause they probably stay busy. read more

Had a sit at the airport so wanted to treat myself and get a drink since I had so many points. Went over to the Starbucks and the line was SO FREAKIN LONG!! Not a problem tho cause since I was using points, I sent in a mobile order. I asked the workers to make sure I was sending it to the right place then sent in my order. I got a grande iced cherry chai cause I really wanted to try it. The line was SUPER long as I stated and I thought I would be waiting a while but I got my drink in LITERALLY five minutes. Not bad AT ALL. The drink was honestly DELICIOUS and now I want it all the time. Tho I think I would order extra cold foam and crunchy topping cause it was so good. I give this experience a 10/10 tho might have not been if I didn't send in a mobile order due to how long the line was. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to see this Starbucks as soon as I got through security. This Starbucks had the shortest line ever for a shop at the airport. The staff was friendly and welcoming and I got my coffee and breakfast very quickly! read more

Starbucks - Storefront - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alcoa, Tennessee

Who would have thought that the airport coffee shop would be one of the best in town? Friendly, prompt service, well-stocked, and most importantly, our order is always correct. I absolutely love that you can still order ahead via app and bypass the line, even though it's not a "normal" location. I was able to skip in front of a long line of people because there is a separate worker working on app orders. I would say sorry to them, but it is probably better for everyone that I was heavily caffeinated while herding my three young kids solo for our flight. ;-) read more

I love going through Security and having a Starbucks as my reward!! Your staff is upbeat, hard working, and I'll single out a very sweet girl on the register, she kept the line going and was very happy & cheerful as she did her job. I think her name was Hannah. Be careful, I might steal her read more

Great location at airport. Right after security gate. Regardless of what airline you want to use, it's on the right corner. It was quick, though lot of folks in the line. Latte was good as typical Starbucks products. read more

This Starbucks has always been great. But even better that you can order ahead. I place my order as I'm arriving at the airport and it's ready when I get there. This is great for early flights as there are a lot of people standing in line to order. They are always friendly and pleasant. read more

This starbucks is always very quick and efficient. They have the typical hot and cold breakfast items and drinks. Never had a problem here and I stop by every time I have to fly out somewhere. read more

I love this Starbucks! I have always had a pleasant experience with the staff. The food and drinks always taste delicious! read more

Starbucks - Iced Carmel latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alcoa, Tennessee

Current crop of baristas is allergic to customer service & corporate seems to have cut cleaning standards & budget.. a coffee shop can't have bathrooms that resemble Taco Bell read more

Staff is not too friendly and kinda snobby. Drinks are always good though and they are not the fastest at getting the drinks out so do not be in a hurry. read more

I don't write reviews often, let alone for airport locations where the standard is typically pretty low. But this Starbucks is the best one I've encountered in any airport. I ordered at 6:45am and each staff member was so kind and welcoming. Truly the most personable experience I've had with any airport stand! read more

Fast and quick service but my drink was ice with a side of coffee. If you plan to get an iced beverage, order light ice.

The line goes fast - the staff is very nice and always get the order right. Love the Peppermint Mocha frapp

Quaint. Digging the round seating area. King Arthur vibe! Basically the one shining star if you need to spend time in TYS. Past security and to your right. Quiznos and pizza adjacent. Gates, Ruby Tuesday, news stand, and Starbucks. Airport has free wifi but it doubles as the free Starbucks wifi. Smaller menu minus the sandwiches, but they can heat up croissants. Think danishes and muffins basically. Baristas are always friendly and my drinks are made fast. Few tall chairs and tables to sit on. The round couch area I mentioned previously. Otherwise grab your latte and have a seat at your gate. If you want a full Starbucks experience a stand alone store is located about a half mile from the airport. For your layover or quick flight this location is awesome. read more

Needed my coffee fix in the am, especially to gear up for my long flight. 4 stars because I wanted to use my starbucks app on my phone and even though they do not have a scanner, they were able to take my information and have me pay for my coffee through my app. Very nice of her, even when I offered to pay by a different method of payment. This place is definitley the most popular as everyone needs their caffeine fix! read more

Probably one of the best Starbucks I have ever been too! I got a dirty chai latte and a breakfast sandwich. The staff was super quick to get my order and the staff was extremely kind and friendly (especially for being very early in the morning)! read more

Love Starbucks but one thing I hate (in any establishment) are employees that (appear to be) standing around doing nothing when things need to be done i.e. tables wiped off, trash picked up, napkin refills, etc. read more

Upon walking up to the counter the lady was very friendly and welcoming. I picked out the reduced fat berry coffe cake w/ lemon crumble...very good!!! Moist and so good. Their banana bread and cappuccino is also very good. Always a pleasure doing business with them. Will return. Especially when Im flying out. read more

It's hard to distinguish one airport Starbucks from another. Comfortingly, this one did nothing to distinguish itself. The service was forgettable, so it probably was fine. Starbucks is better than NO COFFEE. read more

Starbucks - A new very delicious menu offering - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alcoa, Tennessee

We arrived at the airport at 4:30. We were in line at Starbucks at 4:45. There were employees already getting things ready to open at 5:00. They opened a couple minutes before 5:00 and were very efficient and professional. We quickly received our drinks and food. One of the best services we've had at a Starbucks location. read more

Fantastic Starbucks with the best airport service I have ever received. This Starbucks is so good I downloaded the help app for the sole purpose of giving it a good review read more

It's a Starbucks. It's at an airport (Knoxville, TN). I was able to get a trenta unsweetened iced green tea reasonably quickly after my flight, and juice up my phone in the process (MANY outlets - very important). This is not an ideal place to camp out, but hey, you're at an airport - go sit by your gate. read more

Starbucks. Airport. But no need to be rude and surly to your customers. Same staff, week after week. No greeting, no smile. Just "what do you want." Obviously - NO TIP. read more

Look it's not that I don't like Starbucks its that I don't like paying 5 dollars for a cup of coffee. The coffee at Dunkin Doughnuts comes at a better price and as of late actually tastes better. read more

This has got to be THE WORST Starbucks I've ever been to. The kid working there simply ignored me until she was finished updating her Facebook page on her phone, during the entire transaction (one small coffee), not one hello, please or thank you. This kids parents need some help. read more

I went here right a couple weeks ago and they over charged my card. A few weeks after I visited this location I got a charge for $9.21 on my credit card. I thought that was weird considering I was not even in the state anymore when it said my card was charged there. I called to ask and they said their system was behind a couple weeks and now it had just charged me. But I asked what was in the charge and they said a bottle of water, correct, a breakfast sandwich, also correct, and a coconut milk latte, not correct. I do not even drink coffee. I hate coffee. I told them that the latte was not mine and that's why I was confused as to why the price was so high. The lady in the phone said that this was what was charged and on the receipt. The lady helping me on the phone said she would call back the next day and check and she did not! They continued to charge me for a $4 latte that I did not even order or consume. I am pretty sure the lady the in front of me did not pay and the cashier just added on my order to hers and made me pay for her latte. read more

As always Starbucks is my choice for coffee and good teas. Friendly service and perfect drinks can always be found. A warm relaxing atmosphere. The team here goes out of its way and give 110% every time I visit. Says a lot about the management and work ethics at Starbucks. And this Starbucks is awesome in its community service. Provides coffee, all accompaniments and personnel to assist our Alcoa Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast. Rudy,- District Coordinator, Chafica - Alcoa Store manager and her team are awesome and have partnered with us for three years now. This is a community focused organization. And again, best coffee and teas, drinks and great food items! read more

My breakfast sandwich was still frozen in the middle. I found out way too late to get it fixed. I never thought I would try a sausage patty in popsicle form. Well, I was wrong. read more

Internet isn't working, that's the main reason I go to Starbucks sometimes so that kind of makes my trip a waste.

i agree about this particular Starbucks. I did not know that coffees from a "formula" could taste so different. This is the only one where I will never return. read more

Love this place! Sure the service is what you expect from any other Starbucks; If you go once, which in itself is a good thing. It sucks when a location that's new to you ruins your opinion of the entire franchise itself. But this place, is special because of the people. The customers are friendly, you can always find someone to have a conversation with and the staff is super attentive! They recognized I was a regular after the 3rd visit and learned my name, then taught all their new employees to recognize who I was when I came in & what my 'usual' was. This is awesome in my book and definitely my favorite location. Not to mention the staff understands the meaning of teamwork & you can see how they help each other out when things get tight. A+ read more
