Definitely my new go to place for morning (or later in the day coffee). Great atmosphere and very good coffee and pastries. Great staff and the location is perfect for me. Im obsessed with the Dirty Cold Brew! And the prices are very reasonable.

Hockey brings me to yet another great coffee house! Stopped here on the way to the rink (literally 4 min from Griff’s). Full bodied, great aroma coffee. Dark and rich, hit the spot! They have lots of baked goods and other items to choose from. We couldn’t pass up a few macarons, delicious and perfect consistency. Cool local artwork throughout and most importantly, great friendly staff!! Smiles and kindness are a big part of ratings these days. Plenty of street (metered) parking all around. Large indoor and some outdoor seating as well.

After dinner at The Chop House, we walked here for coffee. I got the cold brew lavender. I wasnt sure at first if it was something I would like but once I tried it, oh my word it was so good! The barista was so sweet and when she found out we were out celebrating our anniversary she gave us a danish on the house! Such a cute little place! Definitely will go back and definitely recommend to others!

They have great cold brew! Super friendly staff too. One of my favorite coffee places.

I love my local coffee shop! Owners are awesome and the staff is great. Good seasonal and rotating drink menu. Awesome spot to work from

Reasonable prices, good drinks, nice space, friendly staff. Great place.

Bad coffee but good ambiance. Great work co-working.

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 wasnt 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.

Great place for a cup of coffee and a snack. Very clean and upbeat atmosphere. The staff is also very kind

Awesome coffee. The staff were wonderful to me and my wife. Just go there and experience what I said for yourself! ❤️

Cool place with good ice cream/coffee blended drinks

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!

Super unique ascetic. Cold brew was okay, chai was super good and the quiches were to die for

Love the drinks. Love the atmosphere.

Always get a iced matcha latte with oat milk

Great service and natural lighting inside! Great selection of drinks and pastries! New favorite spot!

Complete cluster for pick up. I had to call 4x because it kept going to their machine. Their directions say to park in front of planter (that is non existent) and call. Once I finally got through she had me pull around the corner and park where it literally says: NO PARKING.I get that its a pandemic and its difficult running a business in these unprecedented times...but if you want to open and keep your customers have a solid plan. Not one that changes day by day and based on who is working.Never again will I spend my $$ here.

Stopped by here instead of going to a Starbucks. So so glad we did. The latte I had was superb and far better then most coffee shops Ive been to and the brownies fantastic. The bathrooms were very clean and the baristas extremely friendly and sweet. We will be back anytime we are in the area!

Amazing cold brew and the quiche is to die for! I order from them on Uber eats and my orders always get here super fast. Not only that but the prices are great!

They forget at least one item every single time I order from here (anything from a condiment to a drink), Ive lost so much money on missing items. They also squish every bakery item into oblivion when they pack it. Good food, bad business. Every few weeks I forget how annoying it is, and I am always disappointed when I get my order.

Fantastic new coffee and tea shop in Monroe North! Love their cinnamon tea, friendly staff, and delicious baked goods. Fun space for a quick meeting or just some quiet down time.

Best cold brew coffee in Grand Rapids.

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!

This is my new favorite coffee shop. Brought our 3 youngest kids, needed a quick dinner and found nice sandwiches for them. I ordered a 16 oz breve with only 1 shot and they lowered the price since it normally comes with 2 shots. And the breve tasted awesome, best breve Ive had! They had a lot of people coming in but no one seemed to have to wait long to order or get their drinks/food. Great feel, open space, lots of tables, nice decorations, even decorated for Chinese New Year. We came back later in the evening for dessert and again had a great experience. We plan to be back. Might drive to GR just to go there.

Phenomenal shop, great drinks, and pastries!

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.

Good little spot. Not a real coffee shop feel, but its decent. Good variety of unique coffees, teas, and drinks.

The first visit wont be the last visit. The service was excellent and the treats were delicious. The atmosphere was nice and inviting. Even the music selection was great. Most importantly, the coffee was great. This place might beat out the madcap.

I work from home on a usual basis and Sweetwaters is my go to coffee shop. Sweetwaters is very open with plenty of seating and natural light. In addition to coffee and tea, they have an assortment of treats that are showcased near the front of the store. The staff is always friendly, many times providing samples of drinks or the soup of the day. I will continue using Sweetwater as a place to grab good coffee and to effectively complete work.

My first experience with Sweetwaters and Im already excited to try it again! Sadly, I wasnt able to visit in person given the current pandemic (their website says theyre offering Takeout but I opted to stay home and have it delivered) but was delighted to find that I could have it brought to me vie Uber Eats.I tried their Pumpkin latte and tiramisu - both incredibly delicious! I just cant pass up anything pumpkin/fall flavored, no matter what time of year.(yes, Im that basic b**** and proud of it;) The latte was so yummy, not overly sweet and it arrived at a perfect temperature - with lots of tantalizing fall like flavors swirling throughout. The Tiramisu was everything it should be and more. Sweetwaters is the Bomb.com, THANK YOU for staying open during this tumultuous time!

They had a few vegan options but it was pretty much limited to non-dairy milk for the coffee from what I could tell. The place had a nice vibe. I would recommend if you wanted to get an iced coffee or cappuccino.

Had a ham and cheese croissant yesterday fresh out of the box that was dropped off. I must find out who their secret baker is! It was phenomenal. 🐷🧀🥐

Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea proves the adage looks can be deceiving right. Located just north of downtown Grand Rapids, its 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 Ive 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 didnt 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 its better than their coffee.

The staff if always so friendly! I love their coffee

Great location....great service

Great service and great flavors. Awesome vibe and a cool location. Family friendly try the sweets!!

Nice coffee shop in the north side of downtown grand rapids. Lots of nice tea and coffee options, as well as baked goods and other treats.

Dragon eye coffee was good and red velvet cake was like no other. Nice place.

Coffee was just okay. All the syrup was at the bottom

Clean, friendly, great coffee, electrical outlets for laptops, wide open spaces.

Great location and vibe. With a cold brew so smooth, youll be sliding back in their door for another in no time.

Came on Thanksgiving so the place was empty, the bartender was cleverly polite and the food and drinks were good. Ill be back soon!

Dirty cold brew was great! I also think it was better than 1Starbucks.
