The staff were very friendly and helped me decide on a drink. I recommend the Socotra latte if it's your first time as it is their signature drink and reminds me of a gingerbread latte. This is a great place to study or hangout with friends. There's plenty of space and very comfortable seating! There's great history in their art hung and I loved learning more about the culture while I was there too!

This place had great reviews so we decided to stop in on our road trip! There is a parking lot and…read moreseating inside, as well as some outdoor picnic table seating. The place is very inclusive and we saw a variety of folks inside. Their menu isn't large and it seems to be more of a "serious" coffee joint, which is fine by me. That said, we both went with one of the current specials, the blueberry pie latte (one iced and one hot). It took a while for the drinks to be ready, but they were fairly busy inside. The flavor of the espresso was good, but the blueberry pie flavor was lacking. I'd go back but probably wouldn't get a flavored beverage next time. Thanks, Hyperion!

I really like that they have e outdoor seating here. My latte was good. What really stood out was…read morethe Chipotle pastry (forgot they exact name).

I have stopped by a few times to try both the pastries and coffee, and I would recommend both! I…read moretried the Madeleine iced latte and surprised at how much it tasted like the actual cookie. The baristas are friendly and the environment is conducive to studying or hanging out with friends.

Sweetwaters had a very helpful staff, with kind smiles on a very early Sunday morning. Pleasant customers and nice atmosphere. The bathroom was also very clean bathroom (see photo). I doubt I'll be around here to come often, if at all, but if you're in the area I would take some time out to pop in and get some morning flava!

Ordered some lunch and beverages for delivery the other day and it was all excellent. I went with…read morethe Mermaid Juice beverage, which is a vanilla, caramel ice latte with cold foam, and it was very good. Admittedly I don't really know where they "mermaid juice" name comes from (I just picture it one of those trendy colorful drinks when I hear that name) but honestly they can call it whatever they want as long as they keep it as delicious as it is! For bites I went with the chorizo potato burrito which was really good. It was also a great value for the price point as it was quite a sizeable portion. I also love a sweet treat so I tried the maple waffles and that was also a great price for the size (two belgian waffles infused with cinnamon and maple, no need for the syrup!). I hear good things about the space itself but I haven't been in yet. I look forward to checking it out, though! But even for delivery it's a very solid option.

I've been supporting this struggling business through constant turnover since Northern Grind took…read moreover quite a few years ago, even though my peer group and family all jumped ship a few years ago. We all live close but there are four other cafes within quick walking distance whose coffee is as good or (much) better. Until this morning I just wanted to support the neighborhood cafe and the people who work there. After today, no more. I can spend my money at Cafe Liv, Hyperion, Sweetwaters and/or Vertex since this business does not seem to want or appreciate my business. The coffee and the service and the turnover of staff keeps getting worse and worse. The thousand-plus dollars I have spent each year for the past eight years can be much better spent at any of the other cafes that will only add a few minutes to my walk to get to (yes I love and frequent my local cafes!). Thanks for (not) appreciating my business y'all. Jerri

Reservations: nope…read more Ambiance: very nice ambiance. Very clean girl aesthetics. Service: Good! Food $-$$: They have a vast option of food. I think they are known for the acai bowls and also their lunch options. I just got a latte but next time I will try the acai bowls! Experience: I enjoyed it. Great place to study or grab an acai bowl and clean juice while read a book or hang out with friends. Audience: Solo Trip [X] Family Friendly [ ] Friends [X] Date Spot [ ] Recommendations/tips: I recommend this place and it is right next to trader joes and this cute pharmacy that has all french skincare!!
