Napali Brew and Macha latte is my favorite. Staff is very friendly and the shop is very clean. It is a good place to hangout or do some study or work. It seems patio table is available during the summer season.
I was glad to finally have a genuine coffee experience during my trip in Michigan. A lot of places nearby sell "coffee" but nothing quite like this. The staff helped me make up my mind and it was a pleasant stop. The coffee was nice, rich, and not too sweet. The only downside is the weird parking lot meters. I wasn't sure if they were being monitored or not since they all were blinking. I waited for the 10-15 minute parking spot to open just in case.
Pictures of sandwiches they do not have. I cam for breakfast and coffee. They had coffee and pre-made cafeteria like snacks.
Great tea, super fun staff. May have been here twice today 😬
I went to Sweetwaters by EMU this morning for the first time and ordered food and coffee only to then find out I didn’t have my card to pay. Without hesitation, the barista said “well at least you can get you your coffee.” While some businesses would possibly fire such an employee (please don’t!), this small gesture will keep me coming back more than I probably would have before. Thank you for your kindness!
The kind of coffee shop you expect in a college area. Not in a negative way. Great atmosphere, kind and helpful employees, service was quick and friendly. I tried the iced caramel latte and it was delicious as well as a traditional drip coffee that was also very good. They have good quality of coffee and coupled with the service and atmosphere I would highly recommend.
Great spot. Props for being open (with wifi) the day after the ice storm when most of the city was out of power - saved the day
Quaint little place and top notch service!
Service was wonderful and friendly however the drinks were a notch below average. Menu didn't have many options for anything too special with most drinks geared towards teas, cold brew or coffee based specialty drinks (vs espresso). Tried an iced dirty chai which was a very weak chai flavor and a vanilla cream cold brew which was very sweet and watered down somehow. Not expecting to return to Ypsi but if I did, would probably try a specialty tea or whatever is the most popular as I can't imagine what we had would garner a 4.7/5.
The dragon eye... oh my goodness. Loved it
It’s cozy (: limited seating for such a popular space though.
Cold brew had no taste, basically paid $6 for water. Reply to owner: I did bring it up to the barista, but instead of offering to fix it or refund me she said she could “ring me up” for an extra shot of espresso.
She makes the best strawberry sunrise.
Good coffee, a wide selection of other beverages. But damn, it sure is pricey.
Super cute place right next to campus, pretty fair prices and perfect atmosphere.
I am so happy with the espresso drink that I ordered. Nice little place for some caffeine and a snack.
Service is always friendly and coffee is always good!
The cold brew was smooth and tasted great. Got weird vibes from the barista though
Among my favorite coffee shops. Environment, the character, is hard to beat. Service is solid, delivery is consistent, and staff turnover is low enough they’re there long enough to remember your order. Traffic is light in Summer as they’re just across street from Eastern Michigan University. is ha
Honestly, I go to this location about three times per week. Almost none of the rewards or deals on the app are applicable and the owner took away the student discount. Since this isn’t a “corporate store” the owner makes his own prices and rarely does discounts for students despite being located on a college campus. Response to the owner: I’ve been told by three of your employees in the duration of the past 4 months that you stopped giving the student discount (in person, not through the app obviously.) I don’t know of any other discounts or promotions your store carries other than the promoted drink of the month.
