“I have to have sugar free options when I order food. This place has so many delicious combos I can make, I thought I had died and went to coffee heaven the first time I visited!! Most restaurants only offer vanilla as a sugar-free option. I am so sick of vanilla lol! Thank you so much for remembering people who cannot eat sugar when you made your menu!! So many folks are like me and cannot have sugar due to health conditions such as Diabetes. Many people just want to cut back the amount of sugar in their diet because they want to eat healthier. Finding somewhere I can order options besides vanilla, and not have to add Splenda or some other artificial sweetener to it to make it sweet, is priceless to me!! I will forever be a loyal customer to you guys!! Not only are the sugar-free options amazing, but the coffee itself is really good coffee!! There is something there for everyone even if you don't want coffee to drink. I am forever a 7 Brew girl now!! 😀❤️ Thanks Again!!“

“Walking into Starbucks is usually a comforting experience, but my visit today was on another level entirely—and that’s thanks to the legendary trio: K, Nanny, and Emm. I don’t know what kind of star-child synergy the universe put in place when it scheduled them all on the same shift, but the energy they brought could have powered the espresso machine by themselves. This review is basically a standing ovation in written form.

From the moment I stepped in, K greeted me with the type of customer service that should be put in a museum. She didn’t just say hello—she delivered a whole warm-hearted, personality-filled vibe that made the entire store feel brighter. I watched her handle a line that would’ve broken weaker baristas, and she did it with precision and a smile that probably cured someone’s seasonal depression. She remembered multiple people’s regular orders without checking the screen*ñ—a skill that deserves its own award ceremony.

Then there’s Nanny, who was working the register like she was conducting a symphony. I swear every order flowed smoothly because of her. She’s the kind of person who makes you feel lighter just by talking to you for 30 seconds. She complimented someone’s nails, joked with a customer having a rough day, and somehow kept the line moving fast enough that nobody even had time to impatiently refresh their phones. If Starbucks is ever looking for someone to train employees worldwide, Nanny should be the candidate.

And Emm… listen. Emm is the reason your drink tastes better than usual and you don’t know why. Their bar-making talent should honestly be studied. My drink came out looking like it belonged in a commercial—foam perfect, drizzle symmetrical, temperature ideal. Emm works with this quiet focus that screams professionalism, but the moment you talk to them, they’re funny, calm, and effortlessly kind. The balance? Impeccable. You can tell they actually care about the craft and not just the job.

What stood out most was how well the three of them worked together. There was no chaos, no shouting across the café, no mixed-up orders—just pure teamwork. At one point, K handed off a drink to Emm with such smooth coordination it felt choreographed. Meanwhile, Nanny was connecting with customers like she’d known them for years, keeping the mood light and the line moving. I’ve been to many Starbucks locations, but few operate at this level of synergy.

The store itself was clean, the music was the perfect volume, and every customer left smiling—because how could you not with this trio setting the tone?

Starbucks corporate, if you’re reading this: K, Nanny, and Emm are your A-team. Protect them at all costs. Promote them. Give them their own beverage line.They made this visit unforgettable, and I’ll absolutely be back.“

“🔥 best donuts in the world“

“Friendly baristas who craft great drinks every time. Just very personable even when busy.“

“Actually shocked when I came here to leave my review that people are blasting this store. I visit this location frequently at various times of the day and have NEVER had a bad experience nor seen anyone else have one. I think more people need to speak up when something good happens instead of just complaining the one time something goes wrong. Let’s have a little grace going into the busy holiday season as these baristas spend time away from their families to serve ours 🫶🏻“

“It is best of the best, one of a kind“

“I had came on or around the 24tg which was a Sunday it was horrible ... The coffee was BAD!!! I CAME BACK TODAY TO SEE IF THEY COULD REDEEM THEMSELVES.... I GOT THE BEST COFFEE IVE EVER HAD FROM STAR BUCKS AND I AM AN EVERYDAY COFFEE GAL!!! SHE WAS SO SWEET, WORKING BY HERSELF AND PULLED IT OFF!!! I WISH I COULD REMEMBER HER NAME BUT SHES THE REASON FOR THR FIVE STARS SHE WAS SO UNDERSTANDING AND PROFESSIONAL AND SWEET....!!! THOSE FIVE STARS ARE FOR HER!!!! 👍🏼❤️💪🏼😁💯💁🏼‍♀️🙎🏼‍♀️🤤😋“

“Always good coffee and goda cheese 🥪 sandwich“

“I would give 5 but today's experience wasnt great. I have coming here many times and I will continue to come here as a customer however when the two young ladies that took my order and we're disrespectful are working I will not be coming into this location. The older lady and another employee always make my order right on the first go are always happy and very friendly even when it's early in the morning and they just open. However the two people who took my order today they were teenagers and they were polite they were friendly they fixed my drink after they screwed it up the problem is after they fix it they walked away from me and then started talking about me I could tell they were and that's just not cool to do in front of customers. They have a habit of serving burnt coffee and they don't make coffee very well. You can just tell the difference between somebody who loves coffee and enjoys their job and somebody who doesn't put love into their work.“

“If you don’t do it for the coffee/teas, then please stop by for the staff! Every single member of this staff at the Steven’s Trail location is beyond wonderful and friendly. Silas is the burst of energy that us early coffee zombies need. He’s upbeat and positive every time I drive thru. His drink recommendations and spot on. I cannot recommend this location enough! I’ve never had a messed up drink nor a bad experience here. Props to all the employees here for keeping a positive attitude during these crazy times!!!!“

“Great service and as always, great coffee!“

“No pic cuz we wolfed down these suckers. Sorry not sorry. The best yeast donuts ever! I’d skip the sprinkles tho-not a fan of ice cream jimmies. Will be stopping there every time I pass (6-12 weeks). What diet?“

“I come here every once in a while and I love their bowls and smoothies so much. I am super happy that Elizabethton has a place like this because I feel that you are getting high quality food that's actually good for you. Definitely recommend the Açai bowls!“
