Really nice coffee/tea shop and a great location too! Walking in, you're not hit with the wall of coffee aroma. They grind the beans to order, so you get the freshest cup of coffee possible! There's so many different ones to choose from. My favorite coffee is the Napali Brew, which is a really creamy blended espresso beverage. The Thai Tea is my favorite tea drink. Very orange so careful not to spill! But very delicious nonetheless! The staff is very friendly here too and there's plenty of places to sit and enjoy your time. read more

Got matcha latte. It was smooth, milky, and had good matcha flavor. I actually preferred it more than their matcha mixed with espresso. There were couple pumps of vanilla which didn't oversweeten the drink. Service was good as they made sure you were happy. I would return to this location for their other drinks. read more

Thank you, Sweetwater, for hosting the YELP elite gathering some weeks back! Everything was ridiculously good, like in a, I-don't-even-like-tea-kind of way! I kept thinking things like, "matcha, not my thing !" And then boom, it was amazing! The young person who did our tasting was very knowledgeable, and made the experience 10x better! So glad I attended, and definitely will be returning!! read more

I'm a huge fan of bubble tea and have tried a variety across the U.S. and in Asia. Although this cafe has great customer service and ambiance, the drinks are average and expensive, especially the bubble teas. During my last visit, I tried the Thai Iced Tea. I didn't realize after I asked to add Lychee jelly to the drink that it would be an additional $1.50 for a handful of jelly; that's the most I've ever had to pay anywhere for a topping in a boba. The total came out to be $8 for a small cup. The drink was watered down and quite plain. It didn't taste like Thai tea at all. read more

Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea - Thai Iced Tea with Lychee Jelly - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Shelby Township, Michigan

This place is very cute and staff is nice and the drinks are good and the muffins we had are wonderful.

My husband was craving a good coffee after our brunch. He ordered a large of his favorite item here, their oat mylk peppermint mocha to go. $7 with the oat mylk. They do have some seating outside but it's quite cold outside. It's tasty, goes down so easily. Now he's got his coffee fix. read more

My boyfriend and I go a few times a week for coffee and a breakfast sandwich on break at work. The service is excellent and the food and drink is better. Their cold brew is the best we've had and their breakfast sandwiches are very good. We've never had something there we weren't fans of. This is our go to spot read more

I was hoping to find a place to avoid going to Starbucks and I might have just found it. I wish it was a little bit closer! I got the French Vietnamese au lait and it was the right amount of sweetness and so good! Also got the spinach ricotta croissant, it gets heated up and that was also pretty good! They've got a ton of coffee and refreshments options. The app is fantastic as well, I highly recommend ordering that way during what are considered peak hours. I'm looking forward to my second visit. read more

Great treats and coffee made to order A great place to meet, treat, caffeine (or not) with a variety of options for every person! read more

The staff and coffee exceeded my expectations. Recommend to try out if you're in the area.

I was excited to see a new coffee place in the area and finally was able to check it out this morning. It didn't disappoint! The coffee shop itself looks great, it's clean and inviting. They have a variety of treats that's looked very good. I got the iced Carmel dragon...I was expecting ice cubes not frozen but now I know for next time. It's on the sweeter side but very good. Next time I'll try the cold brew. I spoke with who I assume to be the owner and he was friendly and you could tell he truly takes pride in what he does! I'm enjoying my coffee and look forward to trying it again! Happy to have a place like this in the neighborhood. Give them a try! read more

This place is a cool/modern vibe for anyone that is just looking for coffee, or if you're trying to get some work done. They have a variety of coffee and food items including bagels and other pastries. They also have a microwave and toaster for use if you want anything heated or toasted. As for the coffee, they have a sign in the front that says "smooth cold brew." I can vouch for it. It was SO smooth! Absolutely delicious! From what I've heard, this place is a happening franchise. Needless to say, I would glad to find one of the these in my future travels. read more

I'd been to a Sweetwaters before and was so excited to see they had opened one in my area. This location was definitely worth the wait. It's a great size and has plenty of parking. They have a great selection of snacks, teas, and coffees at this location as well. Heads up that as of this review, they are still figuring out locally sourced ingredients for their normal food options but they do have their bagels and other food available. I also love all the plants and local art throughout the store. Biggest bonus is how well they handled the Iron Goddess Oolong. I had a friend visiting who is a picky tea snob and was finally FINALLY happy with a tea in Michigan. They didn't over steep her oolong, the tea bag was biodegradable, and the quality was apparent in the taste. In fact, during our sit down, she was eyeballing all the other tea options she could try. My classic mocha and frappe were also amaziiiing. An extra added bonus was the store owner came by to check in on us and chat for a bit. Like his staff, he was super personable and very attentive. It was such a nice surprise! read more

The worse service. Both ladies at the register are rude! Waited too long- there were only 3 people in there. What would they have done if the place was actually full. Smh read more

Cozy vibes, friendly staff, amazing coffee! We came on a Friday around 3PM and it was perfect, we realized this is the perfect study spot. Definitely will be returning! read more

I am telling everyone I know about this place! My first time ever here, and they have gained another lifelong patron. The you g lady had no problem waiting for me to read over the menu, and had no problem answering any questions I had! I can't wait to go back and try something new! I had the ginger raspberry tea(iced), a lemon bar (which is to die for), and a pretzel breakfast sandwich(perfection)! Everyone need to try here at least once and they will never go back to tim hortons/Starbucks/McDonald's again! read more

This places menu online is not the same as in store, they charged ne for a cup of hot water, which would not have been a huge deal but thier prices are rediculous, the one woman was rude about my wife getting a large and was eatting behind the counter by where food is made for guests, this is against health and safty and will be reported. This is gross to have your half eaten food and deink sotting there. Plus 9 dollars for a piece of cake? Get real this is not capital grill. read more

Sweetwater is a great addition to a busy area off of M59. I had not heard of Sweetwater prior to it popping up in this location, and now there are two more that are in the area that will be opening. I think that that is really great. They have a really excellent selection of coffees and tea and delicious desserts. When I stopped in I had an excellent coffee and then decided to have a piece of tiramisu that was calling my name. The coffee was really smooth and really delicious. I almost wish that I had had 24 oz more of it. The tiramisu was good, but it was a little on the pricey side. Was over $10 for my tiramisu end coffee, so as long as you're prepared to pay a little bit more then you will probably enjoy what you got. I definitely prefer Sweetwater over your Starbucks, it is low key fancy. When I finished my coffee and dessert I noticed by the lid and trash station a poster that said that they have game nights. When I walked in I noticed a big seating area with some games sitting on it and it happened to be from 6 to 8 later that night. I believe it was a Wednesday. I'm not sure if that rotates, but I think it's really cool that they encourage you to come in and bring your friends and kind of have a night where you're hanging out. Definitely recommend! read more

Ordered a mocha cappuccino with an extra shot of espresso and it was perfectly balanced. Nice ambiance and pleasant staff. Next I'll try the Dragons Eye latte. Loads of sweets at the counter . They serve both coffee as well as several different type of teas. I was not disappointed. Class and good coffee! read more

I love this place. The coffee is good and the people are usually friendly and wear a smile. There snacks are yummy and service is accurate, friendly and prompt. Today (Sept. 23 @ about 4:00 or so), however, the girl who took my order wore a frown and did not say a word. When I told her my rewards didn't register, she just shrugged and looked away. I chose no receipt, so I'm going to lose them. Just thinking the surly attitude could drive away new customers. Maybe she was just having a bad day. Update: Today's experience much better. Different staff. read more

I've only had the coffee as fast drinks go, and it's not too bad. The breakfast sandwiches are actually delicious, but the staff is odd. One staff member was yelling at another about how she wasn't doing something right and it just felt weird and definitely unprofessional. I got my items and left. read more

My friend and I were stopping by on Friday 7/31/20 for dessert after dinner. We entered at 8:50pm and told the worker it was our first time visiting (their hours say open until 9pm). I mentioned we were in the mood for ice cream or an ice cream drink. She immediately responded with "unfortunately I cannot make anything with ice cream right now being that it's 10 minutes to close". We were flabbergasted and promptly left as our request was refused. Is this proper employee behavior to refuse to make something for a customer? If so, for (hopefully) future visits I would like to know when I should make it to your shop to have an ice cream drink. For a first impression, we are extremely disappointed and would expect better service. I also sent this exact message to them on Facebook. They viewed the message but did not respond. read more

Went here over the past weekend, for the first time since lockdown. My wife and I had been avoiding returning as she works with at immunocompromised individuals, and noted multiple complaints of staff not wearing masks. We use to truly enjoy going here prior to Covid, however they have definitely cut corners since we last ordered and the quality has significantly suffered. read more

I've been coming to Sweetwaters for the last month or so regularly since the Fall semester began, I love the atmosphere. Great coffee and good snacks, perfect for someone who will be studying for a couple hours. Every table has an outlet which is super convenient, the staff is really nice and helpful. I used to be a regular at Starbucks but with its overcrowding, small spaces to work and few outlets this place is definitely my first choice! If you're looking for a new, coffee house with great drinks and food definitely check this place out! read more

Ill give a 5 star review after there's couch or soft seating put in there only thing it's missing!

Awesome coffee shop with some great coffee. The drip is good, but the highlight here is the cold brew. I've tried the dirty, dreamy, and the new mint julep. Loved all of em (the dirty is a bit too sweet for me). Also, it has a cool ambiance with a lot of seating and free wifi great place to get some work done. read more

Been here a couple of times. Great service and nice product. No drive-thru. You know when you go to Starbucks and the place is swamped? Much calmer here, at least for now. May change when more people find out about it. Right now, my favorite place for a hot drink. read more

First time customer. Excellent cup of coffee. Had the medium dark roast. Definitely will return.

Was looking for a family owned coffee shop and came across Sweetwaters. Owner was very friendly and the coffee was great! Definitely try the cold brew! Also place was very nice and clean. I will be back! read more

It was my first time at Sweetwaters. I will say the customer service is very nice with very good and helpful workers there. It only took about 3 minutes to get my drink. The ice dragon lemonade was very interesting. It tasted like actual lemon and strawberries. It was good. I'm just not use to the healthier version of lemonade. read more

Food & drinks were good but I was very disappointed because the staff didn't keep their masks on even while they were still working behind the counter. They only put them back on as we walked up & also didn't all have them on completely with regards to covering their noses. read more

Absolutely love this place! Spent about 5 hours here working and the hospitality was just perfect and the place was very clean! The owner brought around chai tea samples (delicious!) which I thought was a nice gesture. I enjoyed a black safari sunrise coffee and it was very smooth, plus I had the chai spiced cider which was a perfect decision for the first day of October! I ordered a spinach and cheese croissant and a sunrise soufflé, both were fresh and tasty! They also have a few tables outside which was perfect for the beautiful day. WiFi is solid and they have outlets all over and in the floor (not outside, but I'm not complaining). I will most definitely be back! read more

place was really nice and clean. came in today and didn't know what to get lol! the employee was very patient with me and i told her what i liked and disliked and she made the perfect coffee for me SOOO goood!!! definitely will be coming back read more

I went to this establishment for the 3rd time today. The first time was good. The man behind the counter was super friendly and the coffee was good. The 2nd time was a few months ago. The service was not as friendly and the food that I ordered was just ok. I went today and there was no one in line. Only one other person was sitting at a dining table and there was a lady behind the counter. I stood there with my daughter for about 2 minutes and she never even acknowledged that I was there. She didn't greet me nor did she even look my way. I couldn't believe it. I just walked out because they obviously don't value good customer service. I won't be returning. read more

I love this place, I'm so glad there's finally a cute little cafe in the area. I'm hesitant to post a review because I don't want this place to get overcrowded! But I think they deserve to be recognized for their really tasty treats & drinks and super spacious & clean environment! read more
