I visited Waterbean Coffee on my way to an early Saturday morning course. As I walked in there were 3 people in front of me and 2 coming up after me. Very patient barista, assisted me with deciding which warm caffeinated drink would be best for me. The wait was not long at all and I was gifted 2 chocolate covered coffee beans with my purchase. They complimented the mocha well. The mocha was made just right, not too sweet with almond milk. I will be coming back here again, probably before I hit TopGolf as it's so close. read more

Second time here and it's a good place for coffee/quick bite and getting some work done. This time doppio with an apple cream cheese muffin. Espresso-under extracted with pucker your face sourness/acidity. Apple cream cheese muffin-Mostly just cinnamon without any cream cheese/apple and it was really dense. Texture/consistency reminded me of corn bread. First time I got the volcano drink and a ham croissant. Volcano was overly sweet for me and the croissant was tasty but nothing to write home about. Baristas and staff very friendly. This place is a 3.5/5 all things considered. read more

Waterbean Coffee - Doppio w/sparkling water and apple cream cheese muffin - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Brought my wife here today. It was our first time going here so I naturally asked the barista, "It's our first here. Which coffee would you recommend?" To which he replied, "I only drink black coffee." Granted, it's not the same explaining what we experienced through written text, as opposed to hearing it and seeing it in person, but the vibes we received from the male barista, simply made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. I hope whatever the barista is dealing with in his personal life gets better. Unless,if that's his overall attitude in general. The coffee he made tasted amazing though! read more

Waterbean Coffee - Dirty Chia and Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This place is fantastic. Came here with my daughter prior to a volleyball tournament to get caffeinated. I had a almond milk latte that was incredible. Only thing I would do differently was ask for it extra hot. Also ordered a Vietnamese dish named Banh Xeo and I devoured it. Upon first glance when it came to the table I was concerned it would lack flavor. This was NOT the case. Simply delicious. Daughter prefer a hot chocolate and some kind of lip smacking chocolate cream muffin. The place is spotless and the staff were very friendly as helpful when I was deciding on what to eat. Many other food choices and I will be back to try others. read more

This place is amazing , they have coffee beans from around the world . They also serve Vietnamese food here like banh mi. The ambience is very peaceful and not to busy like some of the newer coffee shops . They offer outside seating and even have a rewards program. The thing I love the most is the variety of milk alternatives! Do yourself a favor and stop going to Starbucks lol no shade but this place is ten times better ! Today was my third day in a row ! read more

Oh, Waterbean. Where do I start? I will miss you and cry knowing I may not have you again. Waterbean fueled our quarantine work from home for two months, providing us with tasty oat milk lattes, take home coffee beans and espresso beans. Hands down the best oat milk latte I've ever had (and I've had a lot) Bonus is that you can order to pick up from most of their locations via Cloosiv. read more

Just left bad bad customer service this was my third time coming here every time the service was bad and my latte tasted like crap she burnt the milk and this is the worst tasting latte I have ever had I will not be returning which I think was her goal read more

The service was friendly and they took the time to help us find a gluten free option for my wife and a vegan option for my mother in law. The food was amazing! Definitely prepared with love! Very clean place! My wife loved her salted caramel latte with oat milk! read more

Nice employees but def don't listen well when it comes to how I wanted my drink to taste it's never came out tasting how I ask.

Drinks are great. I always get the dirty chi latte. Such a cute store! Service deserves 1 star. Every time we've gone here and gotten food, something is missing, such as egg or ham to our sandwich. It's comical how often this happens read more

Loovveee this coffee shop! The bright natural light, tables and coffee bar are perfect for solo or a larger group! The baristas are always friendly!

The manager - so she claimed - of this location was barista who I asked for long double espresso. She made a regular shot. I reminded her that I wanted a long shote and double. She told me that this is the way how they make it and if I want differently done I should buy my own espresso machine and make it at home whichever way I want. read more

It is a nice little cafe to go to to either hang out or get work done. The people there aren't always the quietest but it's a nice environment nonetheless. When it's warm there is plenty of outside seating. I go here at least once a week. read more

Delightful holiday drinks and some of the cutest snacks. We're sorry that we don't live in the area!

This coffee is so good. I got a Guatemalan pour over, and it was so good. They have several cool brewing option as well as an espresso flight!! read more

I got the volcano and I highly recommend it! The entire aesthetic of Waterbean is super cute and beachy. I didn't try any of the food that they have there, but they had a very large selection. There is optimal seating in the shop and the bar seating gives you a great view of all the cool glasses for the beverages and where the food is made. The service was very efficient and the barista that rang me up was super friendly and accommodating. read more

Waterbean Coffee - The Volcano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I went to this Waterbean on Monday September 26 around 10:45 am and there was a guy working. I asked for extra oat milk in my coffee and even paid for it, as my cup of coffee was $10.00 for a vanilla latte. I received my drink and it didn't the extra oat milk, so I asked for a little more. His response was "oh well milk prices are really high right now." I was very confused as I've never received that response from any restaurant/coffee shop. This was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. Do not go in here if he's working. read more

Great little coffee spot! They have a wide array of milks, which is great for anyone who has dietary restrictions. They also had a wonderful banana bread which was completely vegan ! read more

Love locally based coffee shops, and this one was right up my alley. Good, quick service and I will be back.

Great little coffee and cafe place! My wife and I have been looking for good coffee on this side of town and this perfectly fit the bill. I enjoyed the latte I got in a "for here" mug and just sitting chatting with a friend. The staff was fast and friendly it was an amazingly pleasant coffee experience! read more

TERRIBLE!!!! Visiting from out of town & thought it would be fun to try out a local coffee shop. We ordered 2 drinks that we couldn't even drink as they were so nasty tasting. 1 chai tea latte that tasted like coffee & an iced coffee that had 'chunky milk'. In addition, we ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches and 1/2 hour later, he still had not even started on them. And it's not like it was busy at all. Will never return! read more

Amazing service, amazing food! The s'mores frappe was so good!!! Love the owners!!! Will definitely come back here next time I'm in Charlotte! read more

Always a long wait no matter if I go on the AM or afternoon. Today at 2pm waiting 20 minutes after I ordered a coffee to get it. I stopped coming before work because they always made me late. read more

This coffee shop is phenomenal. Our family of four went and we each ordered something. My husband said that it was one of the best cups of coffee he ever had. My kids said their mango passion fruit smoothies were delicious. I decided to venture out into something completely new, The Volcano! It was amazing, but a bit sweet, which I was forewarned about by the friendly and helpful barista. I wish we lived closer so we could go there frequently. I definitely recommend Waterbean Coffee!!! read more

Very delicious breakfast croissant I added egg to mine. The reason why I give it 3 stars is that I ordered a large latte "for here" and waited for more than 10 minutes until I finally walked up to the register and asked where my my coffee was. The employee apologized & said he forgot. He made it quickly after that in a "to go" cup. Overall great place but make sure you have time because you'll be sitting around for a bit. read more
