Sweetwaters at Landalls

We just found this place, and it's wonderful! Great ice cream, coffee drinks! And the lady of the place is so kind, generous & friendly! We will be back!

If you ever want to have a good place to sit and chat with friends, I highly recommend thos place!

So happy this place opened up in Portales! A coffee shop that sells pastries and ice cream was definitely much needed in this town. This coffee shop is linked to two other businesses under the Landall name - another is a DVD rental shop and the other is a staffing service company. They all operate under different business hours, but I can see the convenience of this store in Portales.

Not a big store, but they have a good number of tables and chairs if you want to sit and chat or study. There were a ton of flies inside the store though, so that wasn't too pleasant.

Since I have the biggest sweet tooth, I was eager to see if Sweetwater's had any cupcakes or slices of cakes. Unfortunately they don't have cupcakes, but they do serve a variety of drinks - fraps, Italian sodas, coffee, tea, lattes, etc. as well as ice cream, sandwiches, pastries (muffins, bars, cinnamon rolls) and chips. Not sure if these are made in store, but I had to try a muffin since I couldn't resist.

The cinnamon chip muffin was recommended by the worker - I was debating on French Toast, but she said the cinnamon chip had more cinnamon flavor and is more popular. I'm glad I went with her recommendation - the top of the muffin was crumbly while the inside was not too try. I asked them to heat it up, which was a good decision because it tasted really good warm. The muffin was not too sweet, but still had yummy flavor!

I really want to come back and try their pistachio yogurt muffin ... and their cinnamon roll ... and the Orange cranberry muffin. Basically all the pastries.

*Came back a week later to see if they had any pistachio yogurt muffins. Sadly - nope, still out, so I tried a mountain berry muffin ($3). Unfortunately it looked better than it tasted. I guess there are different berries in the muffin, giving it an overall tart taste; however, I wasn't a big fan of the muffin (and had better at Costco!) - won't be getting this again.

The latte ($2.75 for small) was pretty good! Not too creamy or foamy - I didn't add any flavoring, but the latte was still smooth and relatively sweet in flavor. The cappuccino was more bitter than the latte, but more foamy than I'd have liked. Probably will get the latte again over the cappuccino.

tl;dr - a great addition to Portales, especially if you're looking for a cup of coffee (they have affogados for $3!), some sweets, or a place to study (they have wifi!) - this is the place to go! The shop is modeled after Batman and comics, which is really cool. No minimum on credit cards!

I simply LOVE this place, the staff is wonderful and there is also so much peace in there, not to mention the deliciousness of al the wonderful options that you can take.

Love this place. Landells us always so helpful and friendly, he takes pride in this establishment, truly puts the customer first and it really shows.

Poor service, least impressive $4 cup of coffee ever. The membership was a rip-off. Lots better coffee places in town.

I had an amazing ice cream slider with ice cream made in house!

Delicious food and beverages, not to mention the ice cream. Fun decor and very clean. Always super friendly service.

Nice place for coffee and treats. They also sell other foods. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Attached movie store has a good selection of new movies.

Best quality food and ice cream and coffee and excellent customer service and friendly!!!
