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 more of a 4.5 rating but overall a great experience. They use Night swim coffee, which is a…read morebig plus for me, I like their coffee. They use a mix of Torani and 1883 syrups with creative combinations for specials. I would prefer homemade syrups but still good. I like the vibe, it is quaint and cozy. A big plus is the barista she was so nice!! I would come back

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. Inside was quite quiet--surprisingly calm and subdued, not the lively and inviting vibe you'd usually expect from a coffee shop.

My wife and I recently stopped at this French bakery, originally intending to grab a pastry and go…read more Once we saw so many people sitting down to eat, we decided to stay and make a meal of it. The staff was very friendly, and everything in the pastry case looked amazing. Unfortunately, the dining area was somewhat dirty and disorganized. I realize that was probably a combination of customers not cleaning up after themselves and the staff being too busy to keep pace, but there was food smeared in several places, and we had to do quite a bit of cleaning before we could settle in. We really wanted to love this place, but we left disappointed overall. My croque monsieur was the clear standout--a genuine 10 out of 10. It was absolute perfection. Unfortunately, my wife's classic ham-and-cheese baguette was the exact opposite. The ham and cheese were excellent, but the baguette was blackened on the bottom and so tough that she couldn't bite through it. She eventually gave up and ate only the meat and cheese. A baguette should have a satisfying chew and a good crust, but it shouldn't require a battle. When you visit a French bakery, freshly baked bread should be one of the highlights. The turkey salad side was also unappealing. It contained a seasoning neither of us cared for, and the overall dish felt greasy and heavy. It needed some fruit, nuts, or another bright element to provide contrast and balance. The tomato soup served with my sandwich was perfectly decent, but it wasn't noticeably better than a good premade soup from the grocery store. We also tried a pear pastry, chocolate chip cookies, and another pastry roll. Nothing was bad, but nothing was particularly memorable, either. Everything was simply okay. We would be willing to give the bakery another chance and sample some different pastries. The bread used for my croque monsieur was outstanding, so I would gladly return for a loaf of that if it's available to purchase. Overall, however, the experience was good rather than memorable, and we don't feel any urgency to return. To those about to nosh, we salute you--and hope you don't break your jaw on an overcooked baguette!

I stopped by this coffee shop expecting caffeine, and instead got... an experience? The coffee was…read moresomehow both exactly what I needed and not at all what I thought I ordered. It tasted like focus, with subtle notes of questioning my life choices--in a good way. The atmosphere felt like a place where time either slows down or speeds up depending on how long you stare at your cup. The barista seemed to understand my order before I said it, which was comforting and mildly unsettling. I left more awake than when I arrived, but not entirely sure if it was because of the coffee or the existential clarity it provided. Either way, I'll definitely be back, unless I already am.

Kept seeing this place pop up on yelp for Matcha so me and the wife decided to stop in. Man were…read morewe happy to try this place out. The staff was friendly and the place was small and cozy. We ordered an Ube Matcha and a Banana Pudding Matcha. Man and it didn't disappoint. The matcha flavor were stronger than most place but blend very well with the sweetness. The milk and ice cream gave it a smooth texture, which makes drinking it very pleasurable. They also have Vietnamese banh mi and egg waffle. The matcha menu consist of at least 10 different drink. If you like Matcha definitely come here and get a drink

I read through some of the other reviews and I want to set the record straight. Yes, it's inside a church but there is a separate entrance. Yes, there are Christian books but also other genres. Yes, the coffee is very affordable BECAUSE all the staff are volunteers. No one is getting paid and they LOVE what they do. All smiles and great service. The proceeds go to local and global missions of the church. Win, win all the way around. The place itself is very spacious. Two levels. The seating areas are comfortable and far enough apart you can have some semiprivacy if you need it. My friend who brought me says she comes here all the time to study (she's in college). All of the staff knew her by name. (love places like that) I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't really speak to the coffee (although my friend says it's pretty good). I am a tea drinker though and they have a variety of flavors, some refresher juice drinks, a few pastries. Please support. Every now and again if you're thinking of getting coffee or a pastry, choose them. Why not? Do some good for the community through others who are committed to giving back.

From the outside looking in Summit looks like your average new age storefront. But the moment you…read morewalk in that all goes away, you're greeted by intoxicating aromas that satisfy the doubt of "just another trendy coffee shop", especially if you catch them baking the incredible sweet treats that they offer! As basic as it sounds, get the chocolate chip cookie and DONT scrape off the salt. It's INCREDIBLE!! Above that the coffee they serve here is truly top notch, so many different notes in so many different brewing methods... if you truly love coffee, come here and don't be afraid to explore something off your usual path. The incredible team behind the scenes at the Highland Creek store has been absolutely incredible. Welcoming a new patron with open arms and making sure I leave completely satisfied gives you that feeling that you're not just another customer. Especially if you engage in conversation of their offerings. Summit might be classified as a "chain" due to their multiple storefronts... but this one runs like a small business that cares. Thank you so much for what you guys do!!

Stopped by here after searching for a coffee place I haven't been to yet…read more It was 9:30-ish am on a Sunday and had a decent amount of customers. Some working, some ordering to go, some hanging out with friends. The playlist was jamming! Was my first time here and was easy to order. The menu is on the wall and they have the seasonal menu there as well. I got the brown sugar cinnamon latte, warmed. It was good but not super strong in flavor. A hint but not milky if that makes sense. I'd order jt again. And it's reasonably priced. A little over $6 for a 16. oz. THEY DO NOT CHARGE EXTRA FOR MILK SUBSTITUTES!!!! I love that concept and wish all places did the same.
