I come in here every week early morning honestly sometimes right when they open and Megan and James are always there greeting me with a smile. They truly are great and friendly baristas. I can have an odd request sometimes and they always make it perfect. Great environment, whether it’s to work or just sit and start your morning. Love the coffee. The best way to start my early mornings!

I have a hard time focusing in most places, so I very often at night to work on my school work or other personal projects. The atmosphere is perfect for me, the lights don't strain my eyes after a while or overwhelm me. Even when it's a bit busier. I love the treats, but I mainly love the tea and the little tea pot ☆also a MAJOR plus for me is how late it's open and the location.
Lio and Callista are the absolute best!! Even on my worst days just chatting with them makes the whole night better for me˙˚ʚ(´◡`)ɞ˚˙

I can’t say I’ve had a bad location at this establishment! Their barista, Callista, is their sweetest employee. She always welcomes me in with a smile, and excellent service. If more people on this earth were like her, we’d all be alright.

Got the ginger fizz and it was excellent! Not too sweet, not too mild or too strong, just right. The two baristas at the bar, Callista and Lio, were friendly and helpful, made the cafe feel welcoming and got my order out right away. A staple of downtown Ann Arbor and a great place to meet up with plenty of seating and space.

Sweetwaters is an Ann Arbor staple. A wonderful place to meet others for a good ol cup of Joe. Honestly, I don’t think their coffee or other food is extraordinarily good in one way or another - it’s certainly good though. Sweetwaters is an Ann Arbor staple.
