At the corner of Elvis Presley Blvd. and E. Shelby Dr., the coffee shop will be a convenient stop for shoppers on their way to or from the mall.

Joining a growing area of new businesses surrounding the Southland Mall, a new Starbucks location is currently under construction at 1175 E. Shelby Dr.

All good trips start with coffee, and a trip to the mall can now start with Starbucks. The coffee company has chosen a prime location to begin building in Whitehaven. With a growing population, plenty of residential and commercial development, and high community involvement, Whitehaven is a great place to be.

Perhaps surprisingly, the coffee shop reputed to have a site on every corner doesn’t yet have one open in Whitehaven; the closest is across the state line in Southaven.  

On the menu are a plethora of hot and cold beverages including popular favorites Caramel Frappuccino, Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Iced Caramel Macchiato, and of course, the renowned Pumpkin Spice Latte.

Starbucks also offers ample food selections for those grabbing breakfast or lunch on the go, from the substantial Double-Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich to the lighter Spinach, Feta & Egg White Wrap, and the always tempting Chocolate Croissant.

  • The new Starbucks looks like a Starbucks. However, the drinks are horrible at the Shelby Drive location. Clearly, the employees have not been properly trained to make the drinks! I’ve ordered the same beverage from Starbucks, for the last 3years from various locations. This location doesn’t seem to meet the expectations of a Starbucks! My caramel Frappuccino taste like milk and ice. It was horrible. There’s nothing worse than starting your day off with a horrible cuppa coffee please train your employees adequately if they’re going to serve at your franchise when you order a Frappuccino or any Braveridge, for that sake it’s your taste just like the one you would get from another location maybe downtown Memphis, Cordova, Memphis, Collierville, Memphis, Byhalia Arlington just make the drinks correctly please properly train your style.
