Venti skinny caramel macchiato

I've been a loyal Starbucks girlie since I was 16--so we're talking almost 20 years of regular visits multiple times a week. You could say I'm a bit of a Starbs snob at this point and THIS location seriously blew me away. We stopped in as a family of four (with two little ones in tow) and ordered drinks + pastries for everyone. Even with a long line, our entire order was ready incredibly fast--like fastest I've ever experienced in all my years of going to Starbucks. The adorable Bavarian exterior totally charmed me and gave me all the nostalgic feels from when I used to live in Germany. Loved the unique vibe--it made this visit feel extra special. Staff could've been a little more friendly, but to be fair, they were clearly slammed and still managed to keep things moving like a well-oiled machine. Honestly, I left impressed and grateful. One of the best Starbucks I've been to!

We stopped in here as we were leaving the area after staying the night at a hotel across the street. We had visited this location 6 years ago, the last time we were in PF. It was crowded! It was a Saturday morning at about 11 and it was packed. However, the line moved quickly and we placed our order at the counter with an employee who was very nice. The line may have been long and it may have been packed but there was space to wait comfortably and our order was completed in less than 20 minutes and all our drinks were correct and yummy!

Mobile order specifically says to pick up in store. Upon arrival, sign on door says drive thru only ‍

I feel really bad writing this review, but Starbucks corporate desperately needs to help this store! Mobile ordered ahead of time and the app said pick up in store. Arrived to cars spilling out of the drive thru and onto the highway. No biggie, I mobile ordered! We park in the lot and get to the entrance to see a sign posted stating drive thru only. Wtf? I mobile ordered and it specifically instructed me to pick up in store. The door was locked. The one worker graciously let me and 4 other people in go pick up. While waiting inside, there were 6 people working and it just seemed like everything was so slow. Which was befuddling, considering it was drive thru and mobile only. Again, I feel bad writing this but I've been to countless Starbucks across the country.. including heavy traffic ones in NYC, DC, LA, etc. There has to be a way to improve this system in Pigeon Forge.

Fun drink

Very cool and aesthetic Starbucks. They have the, "good ice" that a lot of Starbucks don't have. The people there are pretty nice, and really good coffee as per usual.

More trash

The hours for this Starbucks are incorrect...? Maybe? We've been sitting outside since 7:00am (it should open at 5:30am?), and there have been numerous signs added to the glass door. First sign on the door was that they were opened 8am - 2pm (6/7, which is yesterday). When an employee showed up a new sign was added that said the new hours for the day (6/8) are 8am - 12pm. Well, they've since updated the sign to say "CLOSED TODAY." and why, you might ask, because they're cleaning today. The strange thing is...this location is drive through only, so I'm not sure what needs to be cleaned since no one has been inside this location for months. That being said, the trash outside is so full that there's trash on the outdoor tables. And I've seen about 10 cars come to this location in the past hour.

Each of the two times I have visited this Starbucks (on my way out of visiting the National Park) the line has been incredibly long and all the way out into the road. It is by a highway so I don't want to just blame the workers but the line was ridiculously slow and whenever I think of my slowest food wait I think of this place. Do not come here if you are in a time crunch or don't want to get extremely bored. The line was messy, there were cars cutting each other coming from different directions even though there are cones. They put us on hold when at the speaker. The only other Starbucks I saw that was close is in a Kroger up the street and it would be worth it just to go inside, probably would save you half an hour. Nothing has changed about my visits throughout the years. The impossible breakfast sandwich bread was stale as well.

The fruity drinks!
