Needed to grab a quick breakfast and coffee on the way to the office. Parked right out front no waiting once inside. I ordered a caramel crème and a turkey on bagel. I enjoyed both. Inside is cool. All the windows make it a great spot for people watching. Love the big plants!!

I am a coffee fiend that always likes to try new things. Anytime I come in, the staff at Sweewaters is always so helpful when I need a recommendation. I’ve had both their coffee and tea as well as some of their baked items, and every single thing I’ve tried has been delicious. Whether you dine in, order togo or delivery you won’t be disappointed!

Arrived 40 minutes before closing time and barista said they couldn’t serve coffee because they shut down everything thirty minutes to an hour before closing each night. As a business owner myself I can’t imagine turning away customers 30 to 60 minutes before the cafe is even closed. I’ve been a sweetwaters customer for a few years, but I won’t be back unless this was a fluke and the owner or manager corrects this mishap.

Pretty good, the food was kinda bland but the drinks were awesome. I got a matcha that wasn't to sweet, for sure recommend. 💕

Literally in the building now. Had to stop for my review. I was referred to this place, so I came by same day. Entered, no greeting. As a brand new customer, was not sure how the drinks worked, or meals , since meals are not listed on the menu. Staff had no patience or kindness. Placed order right around me instead of being of any assistance. She spoke with me with a irritated tone, like I did something to her.The male appeared kind to another customer, but he just followed the lead of the female which was disappointing. I will not be coming back. I wanted to come out of character so badly, but I would have been the only one seen as doing anything wrong. Never coming back. I was disgusted by the service I just threw my 6$ drink in the trash. People like this make you want to escalate physically with them just for the blatant disrespect. In days where people are having it hard enough, you never when you will be someones final straw. Glad Im in my right mind.

This was just okay for us. It's a great option for people who like Starbucks, but don't want to go to yet another Starbucks. Lots of fun and froofy drinks as well as the old standbys. I don't know if it's always like this, but when we visited 90% of the other people were there on their laptops and it was very quiet. Like, library quiet. We felt awkward having a conversation. Friendly service, great location. Street parking available or free parking in a lot on Sarah.

My drink, the Dreamy, was delightful. They were out of several things: I initially wanted the French Vietnamese au lait. Out. I heard another couple come in and they were told they were out of breakfast sandwiches. Only 2 maple pecan pastries in the case. However the service was very good.. The bathrooms were out of toilet tissue. They would not take cash. I will not be back.

Bland, tasteless coffee! Or, was it the barista who yelled at me relentlessly about how NO ONE accepts cash anymore (warning, make sure you have your Daddy's credit card when placing an order). Tasteless and classless!

Too expensive for the quality. Also out of most ingredients.

The drinks aren't the best in town but for it to be right next to Chroma apartment I guess its descent. My only advice to the owners is ensure everyone behind your counter speaks and welcomes the customer in. I don't always get a greeting when i come into Sweet Waters....not by all the staff (which is only usually 2 people) that should be an easy task for them.

Delicious hot chocolate and nice place to chill. I have no idea if there's parking typically available, I parked on Choteau (not Manchester).

I had the mocha ice dragon after talking over what I like with the barista for a few seconds. They were very helpful on drink reccomendations, and in the end I picked out the perfect treat. They are sit in as well, and I was able to enjoy my drink and play on my phone! Thank you so much for the wonderful service!

Extremely disappointing. I guess I might be a coffee elitist. This place is basically Starbucks in different clothing.

Ordered online. My husband went to get our coffee and breakfast biscuit. This coffee shop does not have sugar packets. Despite the online ordering system suggesting they do. Also they have no condiments for their dry biscuit breakfast sandwiches. I just don’t understand how you don’t have the basics for a coffee shop. Super bummed. Won’t be going back.
