- KFKevin FrommNov 12, 20255.0This is a great cafe that I've visited many times. It's bright, clean and the food and drinks are great. The owner and manager are always so warm and welcoming. Every time I visit, I feel welcomed and appreciated. I'll keep visiting for years to come.
- DKDan KaercherNov 11, 20255.0Amazing Experience at Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea! I recently stopped by Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea and had one of the best iced mochas I’ve ever tasted! The flavor was perfectly balanced rich, smooth, and refreshingly delicious. You can tell the ownership takes real pride in their business, from the clean, welcoming atmosphere to the quality of every drink they serve. The employees are professional, friendly, and always provide amazing service. They greet you with a smile, make your drink exactly how you like it, and ensure your visit is enjoyable from start to finish. If you’re looking for a cozy local spot with top-notch coffee, great vibes, and a team that genuinely cares about their customers, Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea is the place to go. Highly recommend their iced mocha it’s a must-try!
- TTTMPNov 10, 20255.0I regularly visit Sweetwaters and always love their food and drinks and atmosphere! Today was my first time ordering catering from them and everything was FANTASTIC!! Maddie and her team did an excellent job putting everything together! The breakfast sandwiches were all packed nicely in a cute box ans the yogurt parfaits is a brown paper handle bag and included plates and spoons and condiments. Price was on point! Will definitely use Sweetwaters again for my company catering events! Thank you!! Toni- Oversii Security and Deetur Surveillance Cameras.
- KGkristin gergitsOct 30, 20255.0better value and quality for the money than the other well-known coffee shop. More (delicious!) options and service is always top-notch. Love that they promote young artists in their store, as well as local businesses. Atmosphere is relaxed and it seems they encourage people to hang for a while with a large conference table and printer available.
- IIitfittsOct 13, 20251.0☕ Feeling Unwelcome and Discriminated Against at Sweetwater Coffee 😔 I’m deeply disappointed and hurt after what I experienced at Sweetwater Coffee on October 13, 2025. For the record — I’m an African American man who visits this shop often and always tips the staff generously. Despite my loyalty and kindness, I was made to feel completely invisible during my last visit. I was there with one of my project managers. As she left, one of the girls behind the counter said, “Thanks for coming in” and “Goodbye.” I later noticed the same warm send-off given to another white gentleman who left after me. But when I walked out — after tipping them twice — I got nothing. No thank you. No goodbye. Not even a glance. That silence spoke volumes. As a paying customer and a man of color, I couldn’t ignore the difference. I genuinely felt the sting of discrimination — as if my presence and support didn’t matter at all. I refuse to stay silent. I will never return to Sweetwater Coffee after the way I was treated by the two girls working that day. No one should ever feel this kind of disrespect or racial bias — especially in a place they’ve supported and shown kindness to. ✊🏽 We deserve better. 🔥 Viral Hashtags & Icons: #Discrimination #UnwelcomeWhileBlack #CoffeeShopBias ☕ #SweetwaterCoffee #DoBetterSweetwater #RacialBias 🚫 #BlackVoicesMatter #EqualityForAll ✊🏽 #CustomerRights #RespectAllCustomers 🙌🏾 #RacialAwareness #InvisibleWhileBlack 😔 #EveryInteractionMatters #Standhown kindness repeatedly.
