Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea

This is such a cute little place! I love the chill vibe. You can come in and grab a quick something to go, or bring your computer or books and stay to study for a while. They had quite an overwhelming menu, and even after looking at it for five minutes, I still had no clue what to order. The barista wasn't much help when I asked for her suggestions or the customer favorites. I would come back, but I would want to come with someone who is familiar with the place so they can give suggestions on what to order.

Stopped in to see Artprize and got an amazing Spiced Caramel Apple Cider!!! The art was worth the stop too!! Baristas were so nice and helpful!

They have really good coffee. I had a lemon bar and it was amazing. My wife had the tiramisu and a raspberry ginger hot tea and loved them also. Check them out.

The people that work at this location are super kind and make consistently great drinks. The cold brew is delicious and they have a decent variety of teas as well. Pre-pandemic, it was a good meeting location and a close space to get work done when I didn’t want to be at home.

Always get a iced matcha latte with oat milk and still is my favorite drink here. All I get every single time.

The teas are so amazing, after getting my tonsils removed I came down and got some much needed green tea. Help soothe my pain and it had amazing taste. The prices are very well priced! So happy with them!

This is the most welcoming coffee shop in town, and all of the Baristas are always super kind! All baristas wear masks, and they have sanitation stations right at the door for you before you enter. The mobile app makes it very convenient to place my order and tip my barista. My favorite items on the menu are the Peanut Butter Pie and the Dreamy Cold Brew. They also have ample sugar free options!

Great little spot in GR. I visited on my way into the office on a work trip and they were friendly, quick, and had super yummy coffee!

Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea proves the adage "looks can be deceiving" right. Located just north of downtown Grand Rapids, it's a beautifully designed coffee shop in a redeveloped apartment building. The high ceilings, open seating, and the mural on the wall are enticing. However, after visiting hundreds of coffee shops around the world, this is the worst one I've been to for coffee.

The menu is large, full of options. I ordered the Dragon Eye, a coffee drink with sweetened condensed milk, and my wife ordered an Americano. When we received both, they tasted like water. I am not exaggerating when I say they didn't taste like coffee. We asked for an additional shot and it did nothing.

They sell a variety of food and we settled on three mini doughnuts. They were dry and not good at all.

If you live nearby, it seems like a fun spot to work, but if you go, maybe order tea. Hopefully it's better than their "coffee."

Ordered through Uber Eats and loved it! Will be visiting in person soon. French Vietnamese Au Lait was amazing.
