“I am such a rabid fan of this place that everyone who ever visits me asks to be taken to the magical sounding coffee shop I’m always going on about. It isn’t just a coffee shop, after all. It’s an absolute cornerstone of the community, a well worn quilt and a blank canvas alike for old and new friendships to form and flourish, a place that indeed fuels the dreams and days and relationships of all who enter it. I met Jordan, the owner, when Calamity’s was just a coffee cart in an antique shop. I was immediately enchanted with her and blown away by the coffee she served. As the shop has evolved into what it is now, my love for it has only grown. Jordan cares about the staff as much as she cares about her customers and it pays dividends in the incredible bonds they form with the public. Everyone is always clamoring to talk to them because they’re fun and cool and make you feel welcome. I never leave without feeling- and I am not exaggerating- celebrated. It’s in the air there, and it is rare I leave without engaging with or seeing others engage with strangers as if they are familiar neighbors. I am excited to go there, every time, without fail. I started by falling in love with the Sydney, a lavender oat milk latte named for one of the earliest supporters of Calamity’s. The lavender is even better now, as it’s made in house. On a hot summer’s day I can’t resist a Queen Butters- a tasty, colorful blended energy drink that makes me feel straight up whimsical. Their Pumpkin Pie Latte has no competition that I have found for real pumpkin flavor and warmth. And the Dalton will never do you wrong if you’re needing something a little less sweet and a good deal more caffeinated. But truly? You can’t go wrong here. I have loved every bit of food sold in the shop, always sourced thoughtfully and almost exclusively locally made. I have also bought a blue million stickers and pairs of funky earrings and even clothing items and mugs and odds and ends. This shop is the essence of everything I love about Oak Ridge and you are robbing yourself if you don’t check it out when you’re in town!“

“Is there a better review than Andrew and the amazing experience at the U Brew lounge had me sipping coffee when I'm someone who only drinks tea!! This is a must visit spot. Set aside your latte obsessions and come in to sip (or slurp) from the most intentional and sensory rich coffee experience you will ever have.“

“My first trip here was yesterday. The coffee was great. The moon milk is out of this world (tastes like melted ice cream) and the service has no equal in Knoxville. -julie“

“Great chai latte and breakfast sandwich this morning! Fast and friendly service!“

“Delicious coffee and amazing staff, especially ERIC.“

“We found a new spot when passage through this part of Knoxville. Also great to support a wonderful cause with helping foster children and adoptive services in East Tennessee. The coffee was very tasty and the counter staff professional and extremely friendly. We will definitely stop by again.“

“Obsessed with Scooters coffee! I typically order either a large black hot coffee or large black hot Americano and have never been let down. The brew is fresh, hot, and served by friendly employees. The insulated cardboard cups are the best around- no need for a separate sleeve, and I've yet to experience a leak from the lid. Hands down, my favorite go-to for a quick coffee.“

“Very happy and satisfied with my experiences at Scooter's from my first visit to now! Every time I have been there everyone is extremely nice and friendly always willing to help me pick out something if I'm not sure what I want! Love the special flavors of the month that they offer! Great coffee and I love the carmelious muffin! Best muffin I've had! The management there does an excellent job and are always friendly each time I visit!“

“I love my Dutch Bros. location here in Oak Ridge TN. I love all our broistas, they're all so nice and very helpful if you need help choosing your drink. Dutch Bros is my favorite. Today was the doggie bandana give away. I tried the pumpkin caramel brule. I had it iced and it was delicious. I totally recommend Dutch Bros. they have more than just coffee.“

“I've been here a few times now. My main motivation was to buy some crochet items from their corner for local crafters. But the inside is beautiful. I now love just chilling with a coffee while I get some work done. I wish I lived closer so it made sense to be a frequent customer. The baristas have always been friendly and even when I stopped by 10 min before closing she still made my drink with a smile. This time I got a white mocha frappe and it is heaven in a cup. I cant believe how good this drink is. I will definitely be coming back“

“Their bacon egg and cheese sandwich croissant is the best ?“

“Love this place! Staff are great, super helpful, and there are so many options to choose from on the menu. Especially exciting for a non-coffee drinker like myself. They have so many coffees but also energy drinks, sodas, lemonades, teas and more. My new favorite place!“

“Amazingly delicious coffee and baked goods! We needed a hit of caffeine before continuing a long drive and happened in to Coffee and Chocolate in Market Square. Very cute spot, super nice barista who recommended a few other locally owned places to check out and the perfect iced americano to keep me awake in the car. The salted caramel and chocolate shortbread we grabbed was divine.“

“Amazing, warm and good vibes coffee shop. Small town feel, lots of seating and of course excellent coffee and food choices! Can't wait to go back!“

“Always love coming to this place! The staff is always very friendly and they have great coffee, tea, boba, etc!“

“I love their house made syrups. It is my favorite place to get a latte and have some alone time or meet up for business.“

“This is my first order with them, & they did not disappoint! It is SO delicious! The placement of the fruits in the bowl are even great! They sure did a great job. I didn’t know where they were located & they’re actually close to my home! Heck yeah!“

“This location is amazing! I was running super late for work and thought I put my coffee order and Lo and behold I did not! I put it in,

when I pulled in the parking lot. When I walked in they were working on a HUGE coffee order and I said can I cancel? I don’t have time to wait. The barista said no worries I’ll make it right now!

In less than 5 minutes the coffee was in my hand and I was walking out the door. Despite the huge order! They are always friendly attentive and polite!

Best Starbucks in West Knoxville HANDS DOWN!!“

“My daughter was meeting some friends here. While I was there, I witnessed such a beautiful moment. One of the baristas was engaging with a gentleman with special needs who was in a wheelchair. She knew what drink he liked, his preferences, and was such a beautiful picture of kindness and service and she went above and beyond to extend hospitality to him. She was also an amazing example to the other Starbucks team members. What a wonderful leader she was!!! I was blown away! Well done Starbucks!“

“Love this little gem in Karns! A must-visit for us when we are in town. Cute atmosphere, great coffee, and amazing donuts! The service here is wonderful! Julia welcomed us and helped us pick from the wide selection of drinks and donuts. Highly recommend a visit!“

“Went for my first time last night and loved the environment. the milk tea babo was amazing as was the hey brrrrr lemonade. My partner got the taro and it was delicious as well.“

“The best donuts around, especially the fritters and the blueberry and strawberry cake donuts. I do recommend calling and ordering a day in advance because they seem to sell out often.“

“Never a line here! The baristas are so nice, and make really good drinks to provide me grocery-shopping fuel. Plus, I can get Kroger points when I get my coffee here. Mamas, you are foraging for your family! Go ahead and treat yourself ♡♡“

“This Starbucks is in the Ingles grocery store on oak ridge highway. The workers are great always have a smile on their face.

Kid-friendliness: They always offer the children their own little drinks this place is nice.

Parking: This Starbucks is in the Ingles grocery store on Oakridge highway very nice atmosphere. They have their own little area of tables very relaxing.“

“We love Starbucks in Turkey Creek! We feel comfortable meeting here for our business - sometimes an hour, sometimes several hours. Yesterday, we sat outside and it was hot, but they do have umbrellas for shade. The restaurant is always clean and service is great!“

“A typical Starbucks. You can only access it via driving. Barista here is extremely friendly and professional

But please be noticed, sometimes it might be hard to get back to the road due to poor road design.

And in every Starbucks comment I will complain about the price surge.Bro your matcha is too expensive.“

“The pizza was awesome. Obviously unique crust having the donut dough mixed in. It was crisp, and the cheese and sauce were phenomenal. Very impressed. Honey glazed yeast donut and coffee donut were awesome too as usual.“

“The Powell, TN at Emory Road & I 75 Starbucks gets it. Friendly & inclusive, the people here make my day every time I stop in on my frequent interstate trips. What a breath of fresh air! Oh, yes, since you’re wondering…the bev and food offerings are great, the restrooms are clean and this well-situated property has ample and easy to access parking. But it’s truly the people that make this spot shine. And shine they do, ever so brightly. Thank you! 🌻“

“Ok, Starbucks is great...... but u HAVE TO get the mobile app it’s so much easier (cause we all have Starbucks gift cards) just load them on your phone scan and get free stuff!!! It’s that simple I’m getting another $30 gift Card this Wednesday EEEEEEE CANT WAIT!!!! great service love u Starbucks ?☺️???“

“This location is honestly better than Starbucks store. The staff is always so friendly and so kind, they memorize most of their customers orders, they go above Nd beyond to go the extra step just to make me happy.I was super against Starbucks for so many years. But visiting this location has had me become a regular.“

“I come here early mornings to pick up my drink, since it’s right on the way to the dog park. The barista always makes my drink perfect, just how I like it. Always an excellent experience here. I didn’t catch her name but will update this review when (if) I do. She deserves a shoutout and a raise ?“

“The lady that works in the mornings is super nice and she always knows what I want and how I want it. I went to a different Starbucks once and ordered the same drink and it didn't taste the same. She has the magic touch! I wish I could remember her name. I know she is originally from Michigan. She's just a great people person!“

“I ordered custom donuts from here for my daughter's birthday and they were so good and made fresh the morning we picked them up. They also have great breakfast. Definitely recommend.“

“Best donut shop in town! The owner always goes above and beyond.“

“Good drinks…I love it here ❤️“

“Very accommodating to make new juice. Sample too. Friendly.“

“My wife and I were driving home from a Florida vacation and were looking for a place to stop for lunch. My wife spotted Whole Foods and we stopped. We are aware of the many healthy food options at Whole Foods and love what they have. We got a variety of salad options and some warm food options, as well as great dessert options. Great alternative to the many burger options. The staff is very friendly and the store was very clean.“

“I brought all 5of my kiddos in post soccer games for a Saturday sugar rush. We tried several different flavors and all were gobbled up in seconds! A family fan favorite was the cookies and cream PLUS the create your own option. Warm and gooey goodness!
All employees were super helpful and upbeat paired with quick service. We were even able to purchase some of the cute rubber ducks on display which was an added bonus!
Such a fun way to add a NEW twist to the mundane donut shop. We will absolutely be back!“

“Great, quick service. Staff is always friendly and patient, they never take long to make the drinks. Pastries are delicious as well. Yes, it's overpriced (hence 4 stars), but what else do you expect at a Starbucks? Overall pretty good place.“

“This is my first experience with “bubble tea.” It was fantastic!“

“I love this Dunkin! They are my favorite. I drive from Maryville to Knoxville every day for work and stop in at-least a couple of days a week. They are always so sweet! Everyone is friendly and my order is always correct. Today I got my coffee and had a nice note written on my cup it made my day.“

“Excellent customer service! Very accommodating from the cashier to the barista. The Tennessee Sevierville Store should come up here and train! Great store here!“

“This was my first time visiting Honeybee Coffee Co! The industrial design and elements, such as the light fixtures, adds a cool and unique touch to the atmosphere.

I was especially impressed by the roastery room available for customers to view as beans are roasted in house! Unfortunately, when I arrived there were none roasting, but I’d love to come by again to watch the process. There was also an outdoor patio that I plan on checking out next time I visit.

Looking at the menu, although there were some seasonal options available, the overall selection was pretty limited. From the financial perspective of the company, I can understand there are probably multiple reasons why a limited menu is helpful. However, I would’ve loved to see more options for add-on’s such as syrups or a wider selection of alternative milks.

I ended up ordering an iced latte with brown sugar and macadamia nut milk. It was delicious! I will for sure be back to this shop when I’m in town.“

“I was on a very long road trip up I-75 from North Georgia to Southern Ontario and stopped at this location. When I entered, Traci was dealing with a difficult customer who took a long time to make an order, leaving me waiting in line for quite a while.

She handled the customer with patience, kindness, and professionalism and showed excellent customer service to me afterwards. I was very impressed with how she handled the situation and wanted to pass along a positive review!“

“Almond milk Frappuccino. Yum.“

“Well I went in on 8/2/24 and it was one of the best Starbucks experiences I’ve had. The barista was so polite and friendly and competent. I really do wish there were more workers like her. Also my iced brown sugar shaken espresso with oatmilk was an 11/10“

“My wife and i visited this morning and were thoroughly disappointed. The food was not what we enjoyed a year ago. We live out of town and so looked forward to our meal. Potato casserole was part of my order and cold and nasty tasting. Omelet was filled with unidentifiable contents. The pancake my wife ordered was adequate. Very disappointing compared to our last visit.“

“The food is always outstanding. The Squawking Goat is never a bad choice, but their steak breakfast tacos are also incredible, as is the biscuit side with jam, and the smashed hash browns. Cute interior, family style seating, and it’s been easy to find a place to sit the last several times I went.“
