Back to the real Coffee House Experience…read more We lived in Cornelius NC which is about 10 miles away and this is where the original Waterbean Coffee was founded. It's still there and doing well. We move to Denver, NC about 6 years ago and there was not a Waterbean Coffee here at that time. Later Dilworth Coffee Co moved out, and they took over the space. It's a little hard to find due to the geometry of the building but it right down from the Harris Teeter. Coffee Houses have evolved over the years into two different directions. The original was casual with more of an emphasis on just regular coffees with a nod to organic and fair trade. This was a place to relax over a cup of coffee , chat with friends or break out a laptop or tablet and chatch up or get some work done. The other style was on all of the different combinations you could make with coffee with flavors, different roasts, hot or cold brews in a get it and go setting. Dive throughs are common. This is like the first. Not rushed, coffee is excellent (it is Organic and some is Free Trade Certified), Not as many flavors or variations, but the emphasis is on the coffee first. Depending on the type of day and my schedule, I like both but if I had to choose, it would be the Waterbean type.

However, the lack of decor is made up for with a very friendly staff, quality donuts, and fair pricing. About those donuts.... I loved the sugar donut. Superb! I could tell the chocolate donut would be loved by most but it had some red tint in it (not sure of flavor) that isn't for me. But you will probably love it. Definitely recommended!

Get the cinnamon raisin bagel with walnut & raisin cream cheese or the french toast bagel with strawberry cream cheese -- you won't regret either one. Additionally, the service is great. They're efficient, they're helpful, and they're happy. They give you AMPLE cream cheese and I just love that aspect. If I want a new bagel + cream cheese combo, the workers there have got my back. Totally recommend this place you've got to try it!

Nothing says "Saturday morning" quite like a busy bagel shop, and this place was absolutely…read morehopping. The line was steady, the staff was hustling, and the smell of fresh bagels made the wait totally worth it. There had to be 15+ people hustling behind the counter (probably even more in the back), and despite constant flow of people coming in and what looked like nonstop online/call in orders, they had the operation running like a well-oiled machine. I ordered almost immediately, it just took a little while for the food to come out, which honestly was understandable considering how busy they were. The menu is huge with tons of bagel and cream cheese options, plus plenty of specialty sandwiches if you don't feel like building your own. I grabbed the Italiano special, a cheesesteak with the works, and two Asiago bagels for the next day (they're closed Sundays, so plan ahead!). The Asiago bagels were excellent, even the next morning they held up to perfection. The cheesesteak had great flavor with peppers and onions, though I would've loved a little more meat and a little less bread. The Italiano was also really tasty, but my order wasn't quite right. I asked for no roasted tomatoes or olives and to add onions, but it came with the tomatoes and no onions. Honestly the no olives was the most important part so not the end of the world. I fixed it at home with some onions and fresh banana peppers from the garden... again not a big deal, but worth mentioning. I'm sure if I was eating at the location they would've fixed it immediately. For around $30, I got two sandwiches, two bagels, and the sandwiches even came with chips, which was a nice surprise. Easy parking, easy to find, lots of seating (but inside and out -- a few picnic tables on the patio) and while the inside isn't anything fancy, that's not why you're here. You're here for solid bagels, great sandwiches, and a local spot that's clearly doing something right. I'd definitely come back, especially to try one of their breakfast sandwiches next time.

I'm a Coffee purist and like a good black coffee that is nice and rich in flavor and not bitter. This is what I end up with because Coffee is always fresh with no signs of being left on a hot plate for an extended period of time. My wife likes the Iced Capaccino and so far, she is very pleased with both the Coffee and the service. For some reason, we have had a number of other Coffee shops open up lately and I have not tried them yet but so far, this one is keeper based on the Quality and Service.

It was so good that we've been twice for the same dishes in the last few weeks. I don't even like eggs but can't get enough of the Huevos Rancheros. The veggies and fresh salsa and guacamole really are delicious. I will say the first visit was probably better than the second, but it was still very good. The portions and cook on things don't seem to be consistent which can be a little disappointing when you know how great it can be. Still, I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some great breakfast/ brunch food in the Denver area, definitely hit this place up!
