Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea

I read the awesome reviews and dropped by for a cup of hot cocoa on Saturday evening.However, the experience left much to be desired. The barista was unfriendly to say the least and made the most disgustingly sweet hot cocoa I have ever tasted. When I complained, she was unable to salvage the situation and rather chose to offer more milk to cut down the sugar level in hot cocoa( I wonder if she even understood- if I wanted extra milk with tons of sugar and a hint of chocolate, I would have asked for it). I felt cheated as a customer for the price I paid,two sips and I had to discard my beverage.
Poor taste, and extremely poor service.
I was hopeful this would be my coffee place to go to in Newark but I for one am taking my business elsewhere.

Nice vibes and good coffee and other drinks/teas.

Love this place. The staff and owner are super friendly. My fav drink of them all is the Dreamy and now tht they have pumpkin I get the pumpkin flavor dreamy. Omg a must try if u like iced coffee. The pastries are really delicious as well as the coffee n tea.

Great service, great people, great coffee and sweets!! Definitely recommend

Convenient downtown location. Good for lunch/brunch.Quiet on Sunday. Bathroom was a bit messy. But seems like one guy was doing everything.

I freaking love this cafe. The staff are super sweet and awesome and the drinks are amazing. I think they have the best mocha around. Hope this place stays in business for awhile.

Extensive menu of tea and coffee drinks! I can speak to their variety of quality loose leaf teas, which I order with steamed dairy milk alternatives e.g. soy, oat, etc. Nice modern environment with high ceilings and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great option - thanks!

I went there yesterday for the first time and I tried a chocolate cupcake with a mini peanut butter cup and their special chai apple cider drink. My opinion the apple cider was so delicious combine that with whipped cream and caramel drizzle, no need to add anything extra and it was my first time drink chai, the cupcake was fine

Amazing Amazing drinks and customer service. I lost my mask on the way to the store and since I couldn’t shop/enter without a mask,
I was panicking a little bit when I got there the lady offered to make me my drink while I stood outside! Thank you very much if you are reading this! I was very hungry 😂 I should have tipped.

Perfect shop for downtown Newark. Small, quaint and delicious coffee. And the staff are S U P E R accommodating and VERY nice. I usually get the Crème Caramel with almond milk until one of the SUPER DUPER nice baristas (I don't know her name but will update when I find out) suggested I try the oat milk. It must be popular because when I ordered it recently, they were out of oat milk. I jokingly offered to buy them some oat milk from the Whole Foods next door in the Hanhe building. Instead, it was made with the almond milk. And the same barista suggested the organic agave to sweeten it up a little with a piece of the coffee cake. Hot perfection after the perfect workout at Planet Fitness. I can't wait until my workout is complete tomorrow for some oat milk PERFECTION! And that awesome barista.
