Waterbean is spacious, they have indoor seating as well as covered outdoor seating. I was waited on immediately and asked the barista for his suggestion. He suggested the Bro-stachio Latte (brown sugar & pistachio). I received it within minutes. It was absolutely delicious. Every sip made me happy. I was just getting a cup to go, but it's an awesome place to stay for a while. The ambiance is perfect.

The espresso brownie was just okay. Dogs aren't allowed inside, not even service dogs, which was disappointing, though they did offer a pup cup (whipped cream). We sat outside.

Maddox a friendly, outgoing team member assisted us with our coffee, latte, campfire mocha, turkey provolone Asiago bagel and scone order.

For my money, the best Hot Mocha is at any Caribou Coffee!

They also put a chocolate covered roasted espresso bean (CCREB) on the little indention on the lid in case you need MORE coffee and chocolate! (and who doesn't). This location seemed new. It had a front entrance but at this location, most people enter in the rear. That's where the parking lot is located. The rear entrance is smaller and harder to see as it's a narrow corridor to get in. It gets lost with the other entrances and stairs. Once inside, it's easy to walk to the front to order or pick up your mobile order. They have some comfy looking seating and there were a bunch of others working and meeting there. All I get at this chain is hot mochas, so I can't comment on anything else. But I'd imagine the other stuff is good.

The bar is absolutely adorable with cute decor! I ordered a matcha that was made to perfection. The menu is extensive. Alexis was patient as we were chatting it up and figuring out what we wanted.

What a cute little coffee shop! I visited here when it was a cocktail bar, so I was surprised (in a…read moregood way) to see it transformed into a coffee spot and decided to stop in. They have a full coffee bar, plus a grab-and-go fridge stocked with beer, sodas, and energy drinks. There's also a nice selection of pastries, including muffins, crumb cake, scones, cheese danishes, and other sweet treats. We ordered a cold brew, a cheese danish, and a crumb cake, and everything was fresh and delicious. One unique feature is the attached dispensary, where they offer THC beverages along with other products. The coffee shop itself has plenty of seating for couples or small groups, and we had no trouble finding street parking. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a cozy place to grab coffee and a pastry!

It's roomy inside with plenty of seating, making it a nice option for working or hanging out. Staff was very friendly and service was quick. They have a variety of baked goods to try. I decided on a blueberry lemonade sconce. It wasn't very sweet but I guess that's a good thing. Unicorn soda was pretty but wasn't sweet either, maybe it needed more blueberry. I did enjoy the garden party, it was pretty too. Parking is plentiful and they are open until about 5, which is nice.

This is a little boutique shop (it auto-corrected to 'little booty shop' but I fixed it. Anyway,…read moreit's in the middle section (where the grass is) in Birkdale Village. But it's also at the end of the strip of shops and near the movie theater, which makes me come to a realization... You get five tiny donuts for $5 (and then they ask for tip on screen and since service was good I obliged) so you could sneak five tiny donuts into the movies and save money on movie snacks and popcorn but the donuts would be gone very quickly and popcorn lasts longer. You probably want the popcorn. Another thing about these donuts is that they are owned by the same guy that owns them at the state fair--not the donuts themselves but the donut booths. And they do taste like state fair donuts. If you're at the state fair, they're sensational. If you're at Birkdale Village, they're small sugary donuts in a really nice-looking trailer. The donuts might also be nostalgic for you as they were for me. My friend in junior high landed a date he had a crush on for two years. The date was at the state fair. I know for a fact they went on the Ferris Wheel and when it stopped at the top, the girl panicked and demanded they rotated the wheel so she could get off the freaking thing. This wish was granted, and that friend ditched her forever. It's also possible that he ate a donut.

They came out nice and warm. My favorite was the cinnamon sugar one. I wasn't a fan of the apple cider because it had a fake apple taste. The chocolate one was too bitter I think because they dusted it in cocoa powder. Overall, the donuts were nothing special and they were very overpriced. For tiny bite sized donuts they were 6 for $5. I probably wouldn't get them again.
