My husband met a colleague here for a quick work meeting the other day. He said that a hot black coffee was $5.50 which is absurd & nothing special. Then 15mins later a staff member told him that they were closing at 12pm (he got there around 11:30am). Why wouldn't you let people know you were closing early so they could have made an informed decision. Did not even offer a cup to take his coffee to go, he did not get to finish it. What a disgrace to treat people like that, Do Better. Clearly he will not be returning read more

Awesome coffee! Great people. Love it here. I can't wait to come back! Delicious coffee , I'm anxious to try the one in Bristol! read more

Excellent lattes, a bit pricey, with pleasant and efficient service. Great location in historic Newtown.

The grind here is terrible, that's a fact, but I still come by every once in a while if its convenient I'm appalled every time They are so rude! So unfriendly and Unaccommodating! I guess not giving a shit about the customer is baked in - they don't even have decaf. They don't know what business they are in. getting one's coffee in the morning is not just about the coffee, I have a great machine at home. Being treated like thier coffee is so precious wo no attempt at being nice is a bummer read more

First time trying Calm Waters. The chai latte may have been the best one I ever tasted. My husband enjoyed a vanilla latte and was SO impressed that the little design stayed intact all the way to the bottom of the cup lol. We were able to read. Not too noisy even though almost every table was taken. Would come back. read more

I have been to this coffee shop a few times and every time the staff is so friendly and helpful. They only have 3 flavors of syrups that are house made, with 1 that is on rotation. This most recent time I went, I got the elderberry every green latte, not really knowing what it was going to be like. The guy helping me saw I was a bit hesitant and automatically told me to let him know if it wasn't something I liked and he would make me a different one. That was definitely not necessary though, the latte was delicious! It's such a cute cafe with great music choices and calming space! read more

I've been to their original location and loved it, as well as the coffee shop that calm waters replaced. So I knew I wanted to check out this new spot. We ordered a regular cold brew, their chocolate cold brew and a bag of beans. Their cold brew was fine. They forgot they were making a chocolate cold brew and went to pour out some of the coffee, and I interrupted and said that was okay, because we didn't like our drinks that sweet but they proceed to put half of it down the drain anyway because it's a 'set recipe.' And yes, it was too sweet. It was a very odd interaction, I don't usually see specialty coffee shops that don't allow you to make their drinks less sweet. The beans were a bit sour. I was just a bit disappointed, as calm waters had been a favorite. read more

Calm Waters Coffee Roasters - Cold brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newtown, Pennsylvania

The attractive sister of the Calm Waters on Mill Street, Bristol, their coffee is excellent, and the limited noshes, decent. It looks much like it did as The Coffee Room, with basic utilitarian furniture and Spartan wall art work throughout this very deep row house first floor. The chai latte with oat milk satisfied and refreshed. The toasted sesame bagel enough to meet my breakfast needs. Service counter was staffed well, with the barista efficient and artistic. The deep blue large cup and saucer, beautiful. The room was quiet enough to allow a prolonged conversation, but with sufficient ambient sound to permit privacy. Great to have a locally owned alternative to Starbucks on State Street. read more

The wifi here is very poor - there are ample cafe tables ideal for working, but the connection is so weak you can't even send an email.

Delightful music, wonderful service. Yummy got coffee. Perfect place where you can have a nice chat with a pal. I haven't been here in a while. Charming cafe. read more

Not the place to go... every single time we have gone, they're in a rush and annoyed to serve you. Coffee is okay at BEST. Not a good ambiance for anything, the vibe is always off, & we've given them too many chances. read more

Pastries, service and ambiance were great. The review is mainly for the pour over. It was made with aeropress (!) and the coffee itself turned out very thin. Did not enjoy it at all. On the plus side temperature was good. read more

This place is being trashed in the comments for the stupidest reasons. 1 guy came 5 min after they closed and is upset that they didn't serve him. And anothet person is complaining that the music is too loud and both gave them a 1 star review. You both should be ashamed of yourself. Running a brick and mortar mom and pop business is incredibly hard. I'm visiting my family from Florida and almost didn't come to this place because of the 4.1 star review avg. I'm glad I looked deeper and still came. Coffee is wonderful. The staff was cheery and super helpful and accommodating. I don't know what else anyone would want from your local coffee shop. Please don't listen to the stupid 1star reviews and support this coffee shop. read more

Both drinks were great but not hot enough. Hot chocolate was like warm and latte so just good enough to drink. Besides that the two workers that were there (11/05/23) were wonderful and very friendly. Love the vibe of the coffee shop. read more

Calm Waters recently purchased Coffee Room and took over their location. They seem to have done a great job! I've been to Calm Waters in Bristol a couple times and always loved their gluten free and tea options, which it seems they've taken to Newtown. Calm Waters has kept Coffee Room's bright lights and seating options, which I've always loved. They kept a lot of the bones really, and just did a little bit of painting. The Newtown location remains better lit than the Bristol one which I *love*. The coffee here is high quality and you can tell the people here really care a lot about their craft. Calm Waters also offers a rotating syrup every week so it's cool to try new things each time. I ordered a "hazelnut boi" this morning as hazelnut was on rotation this week. I asked for it to be less sweet and it was really good. There are not a ton of syrup options (vanilla, mocha, and then the rotating one) but what they do, they do phenomenally (and who needs that sugar anyway!). They also make all of their own syrup options in-house which again leads to higher quality. It would be nice if they offered almond milk (they currently only offer oat and whole milk). They may offer less options so they can be excellent at what they do offer, which makes sense and they do that well. Staff in both locations have always been very kind. I like the background music too. I'm really glad they're here, the people have such a good vibe about them. read more

I LOVE Calm Waters. Whether I'm stopping in to grab coffee before work or staying for a few hours to study, this has been my go-to coffee shop since moving to Newtown several years ago. The baristas are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to be inviting to new and regular customers. The espresso is some of the best I've ever had. Their rotating drinks of the month are always a hit and are something I look forward to each month. I seriously cannot say enough great things about this place! read more

Love, love, love the coffee! Hate, hate, hate the music and how loud it is. It's almost as if they put that crap on so you'll leave faster.

High quality coffee prepared correctly. Good special lattes always available. Nice ambiance to sit and get work done or meet a friend

I made my first visit to Calm Waters Coffee in Newtown since it took over for the Coffeeroom. The interior is exactly the same - no changes that I could notice - which makes me wonder a little as to why it took so long to open. Newtown needs another coffee shop and I am glad that this is a family owned and not a mega chain. The service was very good. The only thing was the lack of a dark roast coffee - understandable if things are still in the growing stages. Will I go back? Yes indeed - I love coffee & Calm Waters Coffee can only get better.... read more

Couldn't accommodate a gift card 5 min after they closed. Would have paid cash. I don't get why employees take such insult in a customer showing up 5 min late. I managed a sandwich shop and never turned anyone away. read more

Best coffee in the Newtown area. Good bagels and pastries, good wifi, and most of all... very good coffee. Try the vanilla latte if you like it a bit sweet. read more

Soothing, minimalist atmosphere with local art posted. Coffee and service are superior. A very pleasant lift to each day!

Coffee may be great but music is loud and they "aren't able to turn it down." Bummer. read more

Great staff and very knowledgeable. They explained that drip coffee is their specialty, perfect! One drip Ethiopian for here. It was one of the finest cups of coffee I've ever had. read more

Great coffee in a laid-back, friendly setting. The employees are incredibly nice and well informed.
