- DRDays RodzMay 13, 20265.0This is the 2nd time I come to this place it's so good, last time I had the Viet sweet tea 10/+10 today I had their mini doughnuts deelish! & their creme caramel espresso, with their "home-made" whip, very nice & fresh! & staffs super sweet & accommodating!
- LLlilyMay 8, 20265.0amazing service, best coffee shop in texas! the chocolate croissant is my personal recommendation, but they have other desserts too. if you’re looking for a place to chill and drink coffee with friends this is the place to go 100%!! they even have board games for use. they have an outdoor area that you can sit at on nice days. overall a great experience i highly recommend!!
- INIsrael NitzscheMay 7, 20265.0I stopped by for a quick breakfast and was blown away by the buttery brioche toast with almond butter—so light and creamy. The barista suggested a pumpkin‑spiced latte that hit the sweet spot, and the staff chatted about local events while keeping the table spotless. With comfortable seating, plenty of natural light, and a quiet courtyard, it’s the perfect spot to work or catch up with friends.
- AMAbcde MedinaApr 25, 20261.0I’ve tried several items off their menu because they were my only option at the time, and it seems that their drinks are all watered down. Just as the name says “sweetwaters”. Definitely won’t be spending another penny here. The only thing I would say was okay was their French Vietnamese au Lait. Their “Thai tea” was disappointing and again watered down. Save your money.
- AAAndyApr 20, 20265.0Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea is a unique spot! Located off Guadalupe Street. Street parking seems to be the name of the game (or, that’s where I parked). The venue itself is spacious, offering a nice modern aesthetic and vibe. Plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your beverage/telework. I ordered the French Vietnamese Au Lait and it was delicious! Flavorful and not too sweet. Definitely hit the spot and gave me a bit of nostalgia of ordering coffee at Cafe Du Monde in NOLA. Free WiFi after purchase, a generous rewards program (15 points for signing up, 60 points for a free drink), and 10-15% for first UT-students/ responders/ state employees. Definitely recommend and will come back!
