An ideal option on Bristol's main drag. Their coffee is great, and they do have a very small selection of pre-made savory breakfast items -- I had their sausage, egg and cheese in a pretzel wrap, which was quite tasty. It's quaint and cozy inside, with the only con being that they close at noon on Mondays and Tuesdays (other days at 3pm), but hey, at least they're open every day! Baristas are super friendly. Parking is free on side streets. It's one of my usual spots whenever I'm in town visiting family. read more

The donuts from the Amish markets were DELICIOUS. The service was amazing and they definitely helped us with what we order. The atmosphere is nice, white/black /tan/ light blue modern industrial type vibe. They have space where you can work on your laptop or yap with friends. They also have ground coffee if you're looking to bring some home. I got a mocha latte and a dark chocolate iced coffee. V good read more

We had 2 of the biscuit sandwiches, one w/ each sauce, both are great. We had a simple syrup latte, the peach bourbon cappuccino, the drip, an americano and the dark chocolate cold brew. All were great! They roast their on beans and the people know what they are doing. We have been visiting Bensalem and I couldn't find a good coffee shop close. This place is great and the feel of the place and street it is on in Bristol is great. Service was great too. You gotta try it! read more

Typical hipster coffee shop in the middle of Bristol Borough's growing foodie scene. The menu was simple, but it had a smaller font and could use some upgrading. The staff was somewhat friendly and seemed more interested in their friends hanging around than engaging in conversation about their product. There were several tables, local art on the walls, plants along a ledge and bar height seats against the window providing a view of Mill Street and along the recessed entryway. There is outside seating along the sidewalk. Coffee wise they offer espresso drinks, locally roasted coffee blends and single origin. They sell their bagged coffee on site. I had a tasty cortado that was rich and creamy with a bold flavor and lingering chocolate/cocoa. I'd repeat Some bakery items were available in a pastry case. The coffee cake caught my eye - made by Bread & Butter in Morrisville ... It was a huge portion, rich and buttery. It needed a shot of cinnamon. Their classic anise almond biscotti was from Bucks County Biscotti which I'm a big fan of. It was delicious. I don't frequent the Borough during the day, but I'd like to stop in another time for their drip coffee to see what their house blends taste like. Thanks guys! read more

Was walking around to find a place to quench my caffeine addiction and came across this lovely gem. I ordered a cappuccino and was not disappointed at all. You can tell the coffee is of excellent quality and well made. At first sip my mood rose exponentially! The service was outstanding. The ambiance was great to collect your thoughts or even get work done. read more

Calm Waters Coffee Roasters - Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bristol, Pennsylvania

Calm Waters has been my favorite coffee shop since they've opened on Mill Street in Bristol Borough. When anyone wants to meet for coffee I always suggest Calm Waters. Their lattes and hot chocolate are the best and I also buy their whole bean coffees for home. I just wish they didn't close at 3:00pm. read more

I do not frequent Bristol much but when I do, I make it a point to stop into this establishment. This coffee house was recommended to me by a close friend, whom I have met several times there. I have recommended to a couple people as well and there truly isn't a better iced coffee that is locally owned than this little gem. Calm waters needs more recognition then what it receives because it truly is a five star coffee spot! read more

Clean, simple, and wholesome menu. Basic offerings to include lattes, americanos, etc.--both iced or hot. There is also a simple selection of baked goods from which to pick. The service is friendly, and the space is modern with clean lines, exposed building materials, and ample seating. I ordered the Dark Chocolate Coconut Cold Brew with Oat Milk. The branding is on point. Additionally, the noise level on a Friday afternoon was reasonable for small measured conversation and for those who which to focus on work or other personal matters while enjoying a cup of coffee. The shop is located right on Mill Street in downtown Bristol. read more

Calm Waters Coffee Roasters - Dark Chocolate Coconut Cold Brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bristol, Pennsylvania

First time here at this nice vibey coffee shop. Decided to order the dark chocolate coconut cold brew and a breakfast sandwich to go with it. The coffee tastes amazing and the sandwich was really good as well. Sandwich consists of bread, eggs, cheese, ham and this sauce that's pretty good. I think the sauce is like a mayo/sriracha combo type. Service was great and helpful. They made the coffee and food pretty good. The place is pretty tiny but a nice coffee shop. Love the vibe to it. Sat at the window and ate. Highly recommend coming here if you want to try a coffee shop. read more

Tried a new roast they recommended this weekend. It had a strawberry note to it. Did not care for it.

Calm Waters continues to provide consistently excellent espresso drinks prepared by friendly, knowledgeable baristas. Each month, they roll out new single origin bean varieties that always keep the menu fresh. When you add in the creative seasonal specialty drinks and atmosphere, you have a top shelf coffee house. Now with two locations (Bristol and Newtown). read more

Great coffee spot in Bristol. It's a tiny shop but the coffee is awesome so I definitely recommend stopping by! They also have an outdoor + back door area to sit as well. When I was there today only two women were working and they were quite literally working their asses off. It was quite a delay in getting your order and the workers kept apologizing but everyone was super respectful to them and I was so glad to see it! They were doing the best they could! My fall latte was so tasty and I will definitely be back for not only the latte but the cheese danish. A+! read more

As an alternative milk person, note they only use oat milk. Back in the day they used to have both oat and almond milk, but for some reason it's no longer available. Sad day. read more

Very cute! Has that super local artisan vibe going for it, and the employees were all super friendly. I've been looking for what feels like my whole life for a coffee shop that does the patterns in the foam, and at first glance I didn't see it and was about to put the lid on until my husband stopped me and said, "It's a swan!" WHAT. So cool. And they had window seats which I also love so this was great. I got the special flavor which was the elderberry evergreen latte which was really good. I've never had elderberry before even though I've always wanted to try that too, so it kinda tasted more like pistachios to me? Well I love pistachios so either way I don't care. The only thing is that their menu looked pretty sparse, basically a lot of plain coffees except for whatever the current special is (elderberry latte in this case). And also my 12oz cup was $5.75 which I do consider to be expensive but as an occasional treat does tend to be the cost for specialty coffee these days. read more

Calm Waters is exactly what Bristol needed. When I wandered this cute, riverfront downtown two years, when I first moved to a neighboring town, the one thing I wanted and couldn't find was a good, cozy coffee shop - not a mainstream corporate chain. Calm Waters is the perfect place to set up shop with your laptop, your friends, or a book. It's rustic-chic, hipster heaven. Besides their fairly vast variety of drinks, they sell trademarked merch and bags of beans. Calm Waters is the epitome of a good locally owned business - steady flow of happy customers, clean, cozy venue, decent product. I ordered a dirty iced chai, and it was very good, uniquely yet perfectly spiced. I will say, their prices were a little steep. (Ha! Steep! Get it?!) The cashier was kind, but there's always room for improvement in customer service. That's what keeps me coming back as a customer. I wouldn't say this place is a "hidden gem" because when I came in on Saturday morning, the place was poppin'. There's metered street parking out front, but if you're looking for a grab-n-go, you might struggle to find a close spot, depending on the time of day you visit. read more

Just absolutely love this place!!!!! So peaceful and a very cute little Cafe in a town that takes me back 50 years. Refreshing in this day of chains with scripts for employees to follow. Like I said, I love this place! read more

Great cappuccino! Unique egg sandwich. Yummy seasonal feature too - iced coconut mocha.

Great little coffee shop. The pastries are great, highly recommend the almond log which is topped with a raspberry spread. They do fresh roasting on site and they roast a great bean. Good drip coffees, good lattes. They do rewards which you can use for free drinks or their brewing class. I haven't taken the brewing class yet but I'm excited for it. Good setting with plenty of seats in the revitalized Bristol main street. read more

I just finished a week long road trip from Pittsburgh to Rochester, Syracuse, Scranton, and Philadelphia. Calm Waters Roasters was hands down THE BEST coffee I had in the more than 15 coffee stops I made on the trip. Great ambiance on a cute street next to a beautiful river view and the coffee was delicious. Go there. read more

I stop for coffee at least once a week. The coffee is strong, just the way I like it. The people that work there and owners are the nicest, and you can tell they all enjoy being there.

Calm Waters Coffee Roasters - Happy Boy ! They offered him water while we sat outside ! Super friendly staff ! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bristol, Pennsylvania

I stopped in this place this morning, to get breakfast, it has a lot of potential, to be one of the best little coffee shops in the Bristol Borough area!! Or that matter any were! That being said as a new and up coming coffee shop. Alot needs to be added. Like more table and seats on the inside and outside. More coffee flavors to choose when getting a cup of coffee. More food to choose from when getting Breakfast. I had the tomato, basil and mozzarella, panini, And was by far one of the best I've had in along time. And for the coffee. Perfect cup with some cream and sugar added. The staff is nice. And so is the atmosphere inside. This is a cool place to meet up with a freind and just get a cup of coffee and chat. Iced coffee looked good. Need to give that a try. Look forward to returning in the near future!!! read more

Everyone loves this place for a reason: the coffee is DELICIOUS. So smooth, no bite. Nice staff. Always good music playing. They also sell beignets, a delish ham and cheese croissant, chocolate croissants, etc. and even have a selection of gluten free etc. snacks in a basket to the left of the ordering counter. read more

Made my way to Bristol to try coffee here for the first time. I ordered my go to hazelnut latte but unfortunately they didn't have hazelnut flavor so I went with vanilla. The latte was pretty good! Would love to go back and try their coffee and other drinks. I did think the price was extremely high. I was charged $5.25 for a small latte. read more

Calm Waters is the place that converted me permanently to a bean grinder. One day strolling around Bristol, we stopped in for a cup of coffee. The aroma of the fresh roasting beans swept us toward the counter. I was served one of the most delicious cups of coffee I'd ever tasted - and husband ordered a cold coffee drink that was flavored with dark chocolate. Those sweet drinks usually aren't my thing, but he offered me a sip of his. It was divine. Just the right amount of sweetness - and the rich chocolate shone through. We picked up a bag of beans on our way out. Been grinding ever since. read more

This is a very quaint coffee shop. It's not very big on the inside but the atmosphere is super chill. There are a lot of college students who come here to do there homework therefore there is good internet, AC, and outlets. The owners are nice and would talk to you. ;). The coffee price is slightly pricey but that's expected at small coffee shop. Their prices can't compete with Dunkin or Starbucks but the quality is so much better. BEST PART OF THE SHOP: THE STOOLS BY THE WINDOWS HAVE GREAT SPINNING QUALITY. I love sitting by the large windows to people watch, spin on my chair and sip on the coffee. Really that's the highlight of the shop. read more

The friendliest staff & the best chai tea in the area! Obsessed is an understatement!

Nothing spectacular about this place. Decent coffee but a little pricey. Help is friendly.

Place has a very unique atmosphere and the coffee was really good. I was also worked as Barista in another coffee shop. They brewing really good coffee, milk and shot timing and consistence was great. Thanks for that experience read more

Fresh roasted deliciousness every time! The coconut coffee is my favorite but they are all equally amazing

So my friends and I came here to hang out for a while after checking out some other shops in the area. I have to say while the inside is super cool, I really wasn't feeling this place at all. I hate to be the guy to point this out, but it has such a hipster vibe that it's almost like they are trying to hard to be hipster and that turned me off. I didn't really knock them for that, it just wasn't to my personal liking. (Side note: I don't mind a hipster vibe if it feels natural). There were some other things I just didn't like. First off, the coffee for me just didn't taste amazing. There wasn't anything bad, but it fell flat in flavor. I have a really high standard for coffee as my local city has tons of local roasters that may have spoiled me a little bit. I also was hoping to try an alternate drink like a tea, but they only had some infused kind that day and that didn't interest me. Another thing that bothered me is they seemed to only have food that catered to people who love carbs or sugar. That kind of bummed me out. My friend and I really would have loved it they served like bacon or even a meat or cheese platter to snack on. So with all that being said, I was kind of bummed. read more

Located on Mill Street, Calm Waters is a yuppie coffee house that we've been planning on visiting for quite some time. The set up was appealing with chairs, stools, tables and a couch off to the side in a sitting area. The counter back in the left corner for ordering. A small coffee and chai latte set us back $6. Employees were young, and not very helpful after asking a question. Our small coffee was set next to another beverage that was picked up by a gentleman, and we had to explain what had occurred to receive another one. While waiting there was a banana jam that was listed for $5 and I paid in cash which somehow the total was $10.60. After having buyers remorse, Jess went to return it and the cashier said it was refunded to my credit card? Yeah, that goes without saying..... we returned to get my cash back. One sip of the coffee and it was thrown in the closest trash can. The chai latte was good but luke warm. A very bad experience in product and service reminded us why we rarely frequent Bristol, PA. read more

Lattes, snacks, and baked goods galore, plus sizzling Wifi. I love working from this local coffee shop! Staff are always friendly and welcoming, and it's nice seeing young families swing by. I wish they served normal bagels (they do have gluten-free ones but I don't 'need' that) for breakfast. Make sure to try their blueberry muffins, from Lochel's Bakery! read more

If you have been cruising Mill Street over the past few decades you know that it has had better days, but also that a few brave urban pioneers have jumped into the breech and begun new businesses that seem to be taking root. Calm Waters Coffee Roasters shows what dedication and imagination can do to turn around a main street in a struggling neighborhood. The room is well renovated to feel about 1969, with exposed brick walls, sanded and polished narrow slat wood floors, and a tin panel-looking ceiling, that may not be authentic, but sure adds to the great ambiance here. The coffee is roasted right in the middle of the house and served hot, fresh and new. Guatemala seems to be the source of the beans, and the owner's TLC in producing a quality product is obvious. The taste of the java is bright and subtle, and a pleasure to drink. I will bring a bag home the next time I stop in before court. They call themselves 'coffee roasters' for a reason. That is what they are here to do. Yet, they know people want to sit and enjoy their Cuppa Joe, and the room is well suited for a quiet conversation at one of the deuce tables. Still, it is not yet a café as the offered accompaniments are not as good as the coffee at this point. There is no grill for breakfast or lunch plates. They provide instead a few pre-packaged bakery things like muffins, and a decent microwave oatmeal that they will heat and serve. There is a Panini press that toasts and stripes one at a time. How much better Calm Waters will be when they are able to install a short order kitchen for early breakfast, late brunch and midday lunch. Regardless of what the future holds, the present is impressive enough (in a quiet way) to warrant high praise. It has been too long since a Mill Street morning provided good reason to return. read more
