I love Starbucks. This one is conveniently located near my Drs offices. Everyone is always so nice when I go.

This site doesnt offer Trenti sized Iced Caramel Macchiato, which is strange to me because I can get one at just about any other location. The lines are very long here, especially at lunch time between 11:30AM and 2:00PM. I dont know if its due to lack of staff or just that everyone comes to this location. Either way, the lines are long. Other than the stated issues, its a great place with fresh coffee and treats, even for my pup.

Eve was a little rude. I dont appreciate being talked about through the window. Btw: it was because I forgot to order something so I walked in and ordered it while my driver waited in the long wait drive thru. Then I heard her talking on why couldnt I just wait till I got up to the window. Well I didnt want to make the friendly people behind me wait, it was already so long.

This Starbucks is great. They are spot on with their half calf americanos do them hot or cold whatever you want and consistent. The staff is cool fun and very friendly. I do miss the recent walk-in and order, but with a little patience to drive through is worth it. Good job yall !

Parking is impossible and sitting down do to the music being to loud it literally drove me out of the place. Just do drive thru if you must.

Review β„–15

Drinks are typically made well, but the drive thru design has to be the worst I have ever experienced. Anything bigger than a Prius and you are pushing the limits of your vehicles turning radius to avoid the curb or the 100 guard posts that are now lining the lane.

Always a fantastic place to go for my coffee or tea cravings. The staff is always so polite,friendly and fast. I have never had to wait that long no matter how busy they are. You dont feel rushed but they do the lines moving.

I use the app to order. Yesterday I ordered from my usual store (LR Blvd) and tried to pick up from the Viewmont location. They were so accommodating. Made my drink for me anyway!

Review β„–20

The barista working the window said you cant put cold foam on a hot drink because it grows bacteria! According to my microbiology course bacteria doesnt develop from nothing! Meaning bacteria would have to be present in the cup to grow & i didnt get an iced coffee from a well know bacteria covered ice machine! I simply wanted cold foam on a hot drink fully aware of the fact it would dissipate. What happened to the customer is always right? In conclusion, he gave me an ice coffee that I didnt order nor did I want, this bucks is the most difficult to enter so it didnt take much to deter me from revisiting!

This Starbucks has some major issues they need to figure out. They close random days of the week, are constantly out of multiple items, and sometimes (again, randomly) close their pickup window which forces you to go through the nightmare or their drive through. Not sure if it’s lack of staffing or poor supply chain management but it is far below Starbucks’ standards. Hope they get things fixed

Review β„–29

We waited in line for 20 minutes. The drive thru is so crowded and difficult to enter and exit. We sat at the order box for a couple minutes, and no one came. My boyfriend said, β€œhello,” before someone finally took our order. They weren’t rude, but you could tell they were stressed. We waiting at the window for 5-7 minutes to get our drinks. They were very messy, with liquid and syrup dripping down the side. My boyfriend asked for napkins and the drive thru employee went to look for them. He came back like two minutes later to say they were out of napkins. Our danish and muffin were also cold. Overall, it was stressful and not worth the wait, price, or mess.

Love Starbucks, Im there just about daily. Theres three here in Hickory NC! The one on 127 and in Target are super fast and ALWAYS super friendly. The one off of Interstate 40 seems to have a problem being open. Ive been there 3 times this week, twice they were closed, and once they had a sign on the door saying drive thru open only. A person never knows when they are going to be open.

A good Starbucks, but always extremely busy! So if you are in a rush, I recommend using Starbucks app to preorder. And you can go inside and pickup your order, instead of waiting in a long line. Which the line sometimes goes into the road, where people are trying to drive..

Love the Starbucks crew on 127 in Hickory. Do wish the cappuccino prices were lower. I used to pay around 2.50 for them. Now they are 4.00. I make my own cappuccino at home with Starbucks espresso and flavor but go to Starbucks twice a week because I love the employees there. Hopefully they are paid very well for their knowledge and hospitality.

My order is normally right but sometimes it takes forever to get your drinks. Also the new layout sucks. It’s hard to get in that drive thru line the way it is set up now.

Review β„–43

First location at Lenior-rhyne blvd wasn’t accepting mobile orders, I get to the other location in hickory and they don’t have ingredients to make the drink I already ordered and paid for. I was told they made the drink a different way and everyone liked it. Got my drink and it tasted nothing like it was suppose to. Extremely disappointing especially with how much I paid for the drink.

Review β„–44

The quality of the coffee did not justify the price and the service at this particular location was extremely lacking in intelligence as well as courtesy. They got the order for one cup of coffee wrong not once but twice. its unlikely that I will visit this particular Starbucks location ever again.

Employees take up to many parking spots, less for customers. On some wrinkles days they may occupy the use of three tables. Less for customers. Need more training on how to make the coffee. Most times very bitter.

This one vanilla bean cream from starbucks if youve ever tried one then you will know my joy. Starbucks have great things to choose from but thats my cup of delight.

Review β„–71

I always enjoy a Starbucks coffee, however at this particular site I had treated my niece to a coffee. The employees were complaining about the drive through and loudly discussing how they didnt care if the people became upset or cold and snowed on this day, the customersneeded to roll their windows all the way down so they could netter hear the order. The person who appeared to be in charge stated she was deaf in one ear...I distanced myself as far as I could, but the loud complaints continued the 10 or 15mins we were there. (It was snowing or we would have left earlier). There were plenty of employees, few customers and STILL I was served the wrong coffee, I believe because of their complaining. I was finally given the correct order in a brisk, rude manner. Way to expensive coffee for such an unpleasant experience. Will not be back.

Thank goodness for friends and gift cards, good products, friendly staff - still priced to high for a 10 to 30 cent product paying $3 to $6 per cup. Rolling in the beans one might say - and that is most any cup of coffee.

Review β„–82

I walked out after I saw a bug crawling on the cheese danishes in the display case. 90% of the time there has been no half and half in the lobby and the barista seemed bothered when asked for some. This time I took my business down the street to the coffee shop at Lowes market next to SteinMart. It was more affordable and very refreshing. They also have delicious handmade gourmet deserts and a cute seating area decorated with actual photos of old North Carolina. The coffee does not have that signature Starbucks taste but its very earthy and high quality.

I knocked off 2 stars because Im continually disappointed with how slow the orders come. Last week I watched from my car window while 2-3 women stood around laughing and chatting while one person was making drinks. There were no lines inside but the drive thru was backed up to the back road. I waited for 5 minutes at the window.The coffee is good and the staff is friendly- what you would expect from a Starbucks but they really need some strong management to keep their staff focused.

Yesterday 07/18 at 8:50am I stopped by on the way taking my wife to the dentist and placed my order at the drive thru. When I got to the pickup window the cashier told me the drink was paid for by the car ahead of me. I gave the cashier my phone and said that was nice, and I would pay for the person following me. He said that would be $7. I was charged for the drink I ordered that was paid for by the person ahead of me and the $7 I was paying for the person behind me.I have been stopping here since this place opened. Can not give 5 stars
