- JAJemini AhirOct 21, 20255.0Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea is such a lovely place to enjoy a great cup of coffee or tea in a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I tried their vanilla latte and a croissant, and both were delicious — the coffee had a smooth, well-balanced flavor, and the pastry was fresh and flaky. I also love that they offer a wide variety of drinks, from classic coffees to specialty teas and refreshing cold options for warmer days.
