We stopped in for lunch today and were blown away, it far exceeded our expectations! Even though it…read morewas busy when we walked in, the line moved fast, and the staff were all very friendly. The menu is massive, with an extensive selection of amazing food, specialty drinks, and delicious baked goods. Beyond the food, they also have a fantastic selection of coffee beans, gifts and local goods to shop from while you're there. The highlight for us was the incredible ambience: live music, a beautiful indoor water fountain, and plenty of comfortable seating both inside and outdoors. You couldn't ask for a better atmosphere. We can't wait to come back!

I visited this cute coffee shop right after lunch. I was bummed that I was too full to even…read moresqueeze in a small drink. They had plenty of drink options. There is plenty of merchandise in the store that you may find something for yourself or as a small gift. From jewelry, coffees, teas, honey, cups etc.. There is seating throughout the shop to enjoy your drink. It really is a cozy place. You get that feeling once you walk into the place. I did purchase two little bags of coffee and bag of chocolate covered coffee beans as gifts. The service at the counter was very friendly even though it got quite busy. If I'm visiting my friends in NC again, I would want to make it a point to stop here again. I'm sure they would happily bring me here again since it is one their fave coffee spots. There is only street parking in front of the store and not too far away is a parking lot. Come give them a try!

The lemon possum tail needed just a little more lemon flavor but otherwise the filling was very good and not greasy which I've had happen at other places before. The cherry napoleon needed a little something to brighten it up but was still pretty good. It was very quiet when we went on a Saturday afternoon but I have no complaints. There's some seating if you want to sit and get a coffee. Overall pretty nice.

Great service, coffee, lattes, smoothies, relaxed space for conversations or work. Recommended.read more

Waterbean Coffee is a chain of coffee shops in North Carolina. It is cozy and minimalistic inside,…read morebut there is enough space to sit down and do work or just get together. This location does not have a lot of parking, but if you go around the back, there are some spots that you could park at next door. The barista was friendly and helpful and my drink came out in timely manner. I got one of their October drinks: Dracula's Delight. I forget all that is in it but there is cayenne pepper, which I did taste. I think the drink was alright, nothing special. It mostly just tasted like a sweeter iced latte with a slight kick at the end. Overall, I would rate this place a 3.75/5 stars if I could. I would be interested in coming back trying their Banana Cloud Latte, which is a popular staple apparently. A few of their drinks also have ube, which I feel like is rare for a coffee shop in Hickory to have so I would like to try those in the future.

Highly recommend getting before you start shopping and then you can enjoy while you browse.

I really like their iced latte (with little ice, per my request) with oat milk, which was rich, smooth, and refreshing. Addition of brown sugar was also incredible--not too sweet and adds a refreshing sweetness to the drink. Chai latte (hot) with oat milk was great too. London fog (iced) was okay though--I wouldn't recommend that one--but all espresso-based drinks are amazing.
