Coffee Shops near Alcoa

“First time today going through their drive thru. Had Americano coffee and a breakfast burrito. Both were fabulous. The breakfast burrito was perfect and the pico on it was spot on! I highly recommend it. People were polite and friendly. I will definitely add this to one of my favorite places!“

“Excelent Sevice I love Carmel macchiato delicious I’m really enjoy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Starbucks“

“Tall gentleman who took my order had great customer service. I asked about 20 questions to narrow down the language for what I wanted. He took it all in stride and actively helped. Lady after me also got no judgement for her requests.
Drink seemed small, but tasted amazing.
Parking lot has an odd setup, but interior is very nice.
Overall, a pleasant experience, will be back for pre-work coffee.“

“I ordered a mocha Frappuccino. To sweet and not enough coffee. It was like drinking super sweet milk. The employees were wonderful. The service was fast and friendly. This drink seems to have a different recipe depending on where I get one.“

“Joshua at the Alcoa Starbucks took a bad day and put a smile on my face. Best experience at a Starbucks I’ve ever had!“

“It's very rare when the drive thru employees who hand you the food smile at you.
They just hand you the food and don't even make eye contact.
Now I understand some of them are young,and inexperienced..
Y'all need to work on teaching or training or supervising them better before you allow them to interact with customers.
It's a huge deterrent effect for people when someone who is in charge of your food acts like this.
It makes you wonder,are they disgruntled?
Have they done something to my food and won't look me in the eye?
I know it's unlikely(praying there's cameras on the kitchen/prep area)...but, that's what kind of negativity comes to mind whenever a young person hands me my bag and drink with a stony face like Easter Island heads made by the Maori, and eyes averted.

But I do wanna touch on the fact that this doesn't always happen.

There was a young girl who smiled and made eye contact and was very polite my last visit.

THAT'S the kinda stuff I wanna see ...eye contact , smiles and a friendly greeting and a goodbye 👋🏽 with people who handle my food!

Kudos to that young lady 🩷 if you see this I hope you remember me ( deaf woman , silver Kia soul) THANK YOU.. you keep doing what you are doing 😊
You make people's day brighter with your friendliness and genuine smile.
Thank you!“

“Let me say what a NICE experience one will have at this McDonald’s. The staff is great and professional. They greeted us with a smile and the order was hot fresh ( which iykyk ) and made to order and correct on all accounts. The young lady that took our order was in good spirits and actually seemed as if she enjoyed her job. They are doing something right at this McDonalds!! Other stores need to take notice.“

“I’d just like to say that I’ve always had an amazing experience here! Grayson has always went above and beyond! Always kind and always smiling! Never had an issue at this McDonald’s! There was one night that it was just Grayson and one other worker and they still got my order perfect with no issues! This is my favorite McDonald’s to go to!“

“Such a great place to eat if you enjoy real food without crappy ingredients. We aren’t local, but made a point to go twice while in the area. We met one of the owners and he was a very nice guy. Really enjoyed the atmosphere, food, and coffee. Highly recommend!“

“I love Commonplace. The atmosphere is very cozy, calm, and happy. The employees are so personable and kind. I accidentally spilled an entire coffee and not only did they refuse to let me help clean it up, they also replaced my coffee without hesitation and without me even asking. I will be back as long as they are here, which I hope is forever!!“
