Waterbean has very good coffee. I grabbed an iced latte and drank it very quickly. They also have a small food menu. They are located right next to the Kimpton hotel. Great space to either work or hang out. It also appears like they are local chain because I do see them in other parts of Charlotte. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Nice place to visit and they are very conscientious and growing their business with their hearts and wisdom

Waterbean Coffee I stopped in for an iced latte with cold oat milk and condensed milk and wow, it was so good! The mix of creamy oat milk with that touch of sweetness is absolutely perfect. You can really taste the quality of their espresso, smooth and rich without any bitterness. The drink was balanced, refreshing, and honestly kind of addictive. The vibe inside is relaxed and modern, great spot to work or just chill. Friendly service, quick, chill, and welcoming. Highly recommend. read more

Really cute space...very cozy and delightful. The serve decent espresso too. But seriously...the employees could not possibly care less about their customers. Three people behind the bar and everyone was too tragically cool to be bothered to take an order. It was something out of a movie. Oh...and almost twice as expensive as any 3rd Wave coffee place I've been to. There's plenty of great coffee places Uptown. Next time I'll skip Waterbean and opts for anyone else. Thanks! read more

SUCH GOOD MATCHA - definitely top 5 for me in CLT - clean space and good service. :))) read more

I grabbed a quick latte after a workout class as I was heading back to my hotel. I got there shortly after it opened so it was just the barista and me. I had been warned the coffee was strong but I found my vanilla latte to be delightful and the barista got it out quick. The space is large and cozy. Seems like a perfect spot to telework. read more

I stopped in on my way back to my hotel! My hubby and I love coffee shops and cold brews have become our favorite coffee of choice! I ordered the cold brew with white chocolate syrup and cold foam! The cold foam was thick and sweet, just as like! The coffee is definitely STRONG! I can handle it. The service was friendly, quick and helpful. There's soft rock playing in the background as I sit at the window Watching people walk by! It's my kind of vibe!! I would definitely come back. read more

Overall a good spot! Always order a cortado at coffee shops I've never been to so I can get a good taste of the espresso and feel out the milk texture, both were good here! Inside is a nice quiet vibe with light music in the back, a good place to work/ study from. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because while the service was quick it was super surface level and didn't feel like the baristas were really paying attention to me more of just chatting with each other. Would still come back though! read more

We were in town for the Charlotte marathon and came here for coffee. They weren't doing food because of the crowds - but the coffee was great. I got the snickerdoodle iced latte and my girlfriend got the peppermint bark latte. Both were very good and fun festive flavors. The workers were definitely stressed, but I don't blame them given the circumstance. read more

Everything to love about a coffee shop! Spacious area to meet up or do work. The flavor combinations are vast and pretty unique. I ordered an iced mint, brown sugar latte that was so good! Perfect combo of flavor and not too sweet. They also have sweeter combinations like the snickerdoodle latte. I would definitely return to try their other flavors read more

First of all: I am in love with the interior! If I were still in finals mode, I would definitely be here studying the day away. It was not too crowded on the Friday morning we attended. The thing I wasn't so in love with was my drink. I ordered something along the lines of an iced matcha and I was surprised that it was almost grainy in my mouth. It was almost like I could chew the matcha if I tried, which I have not ever experienced before. It definitely had more of a healthy taste to it, so I'm not sure if that was the vibe it was going for. I would have to try more of there drinks to assess, but I would try again just for the ambiance if I'm in the city! read more

Just like the other Waterbean in Uptown, it's clean and staff is very friendly. I like that they offer non-coffee drinks. They also offer pastries and baked goods that are delicious. They also have a small order window outside that you can use if you don't want to go inside. There is plenty of seating to hang out and work. read more

I've been to another location, and this one doesn't quite live up to my expectations. I love the space and the decor but the coffee tasted "okay". I ordered a coffee with lavender syrup, which tasted quite watered down. Overall, a nice place to work and study, but I came for the coffee! read more

Love the lavender and rose lattes. Download the app to order hotels sandwiches on a croissant or bagel or coffee (or both) ahead of time and escape the line on pickup...all while earning reward points! Every 65 points in the app gets you a $7 credit on a future order! Great quality, would choose over Starbucks any day of the week. read more

Spacious interior. On point with a coffee shop vibe. Mellow music, but they didn't upgrade for ad free. The ads were a bit distracting and loud. Coffee was good. They had a lot of variety and seasonal selections. They had a food menu and some sweet treats as well. Adjacent to the cashier is a grab and go counter of sorts for more packaged items. Water wan also had a wide variety of teas to steep in or packaged for retail quick checkout. read more

This is one of the best coffees I've had! I'm super excited to return and try their matcha!

Stumbled upon this spot while checking out Charlotte, NC. My friend got the honey lavender latte and I got a lavender hot chocolate, both with oat milk. Best hot chocolate I ever had!! I only had a sip of the latte, but that was well built as well. Loved this spot. Go find them if you're ever in Charlotte!! read more

Had a great experience here! Not too far from the airport! Love that their iced drinks come in a cool glass! Asked for a "for here" mug because I love drinking my lattes in a mug. It came with a beautiful design. Their croissant breakfast sandwiches were perfect for what we needed. read more

Stopped by on a work trip and will come back. Definitely recommend the iced matcha latte with honey. Overall good vibes

Exceptional music and ambience. The coffee was great and the baristas were skilled enough to take my order that has always confused Starbucks. We also really enjoyed the pumpkin muffin. Prices are reasonable and the staff were kind. I'd highly recommend. read more

Really great service. Wonderful coffeehouse atmosphere. Wonderful and different flavors.

Cute ambiance, friendly staff, good coffee! Passing through on a long road trip and was worth the stop.

Watery coffee.....and this was with an extra shot. Not sure how a latte can be watery when there's an abundance of milk but they pulled it off Discovered I'd been given a lemon muffin when I'd asked for the strawberry. I hate lemon & we were too long gone to do anything about it Disappointing start to the day read more

I've never been to this Waterbean but I've always been to the one in Belmont. The customer service is just exactly the same and not in a bad way, meaning excellent! Food is amazing and warm. Drinks keep me caffeinated and excited to work. read more

These folks are the REAL deal. :) Best teas are worth waiting for. I do like that they offer real ceramic cups if you choose to stay in - but if they don't feel like washing them, you can expect a papercup regardless. Love the different bakeries they must engage to do the sweet treats. Would strongly recommend those macarons! How about we get some cronuts in there? read more

In Charlotte for the first time and there are definite treasures and this is one of them. I ordered a iced Americano with an extra shot and oat milk-excellent. Their blueberry muffin tasted home made (not super sweet which is what I prefer) and the nova lox was decent-lots of smoked salmon (only preference would have been nice if they asked if I wanted my bagel toasted-but no biggie). Overall a decent little coffee shop and would recommend. read more

Their oat lattes were really good! The coffee is not acidic and has a smooth finish. Brownies were also good and the wrapping helped it last longer! Reason for a 4/5 and not 5/5 - My friend got the peanut butter drink and felt that the flavor could be much stronger. He remarked it tasted like a watered down drink. :( read more

My review is based SOLELY on the uptown location. I absolutely love love love Waterbean Coffee...so much that I've visited the Metropolitan location so many times. I live in uptown, and go to the Metro location...kind odd don't ya think? Well, anyways, I visited the uptown location for the first time ever last week on a random week day. I normally get iced coffee, but because it was so cold outside, I figured why not get a warm coffee drink this time. The place was so homey, and I really loved the location. There was only 1 barista working that day, and she made my drink really quickly (Regular White Mocha Latte). The latte was delicious, but I could barely taste the White Mocha flavoring. I didn't give it much thought, just figured this is what the hot lattes taste like. Fast forward to a few days ago, on Saturday morning, I wanted to get my iced white mocha latte like I always do at the Metro location, but was running out of time and decided to go to the uptown location. There were 2 baristas this time, which would make sense considering it is probably busier on weekends. I had ordered my regular iced white mocha latte, and about a few mins later, one of the baristas calls out the order but it was a hot latte. Not an issue, I told him I had ordered an iced, and he fixed it right away. After my iced latte finally came out, I had noticed two things. There was SO MUCH ICE & again I could barely taste the flavor. What I love about the Metro location, is that they put less ice & the flavor is blended in with the coffee that even if the ice waters down the coffee, you can still taste the flavor after being watered down. I was very disappointed TBH, but again, that doesn't change my opinion of Waterbean. I will just avoid the uptown location for my coffee. Still recommend Waterbean in general though & get an iced white mocha latte from the Metro location! It does not disappoint!! read more

We stumbled on this place and I like it. It is cozy with plenty of options for hot and cold beverages. You can bring your laptop to work or read a book. When you visit Charlotte, NC stop here for coffee. read more

Cute coffee shop. Lots of bright colors and seating. Staffers were friendly and even helped with food recommendations in the area. Drip coffee was very tasty. BF got iced coffee and drank it so fast; it must have been good. Also props to them for being open on Monday of Memorial Day weekend. read more

Me and my bf were walking around downtown CLT and decided that we should grab some refreshments and this placed looked reassuring on the outside and inside so we were like why not? I decided to order an iced matcha latte with oat milk and vanilla syrup and my bf got an iced coffee. When I first took a sip of my matcha it tasted really grainy and was just thick to swallow. My bf iced coffee tasted watered down no matter how much he tried adding creamer and sweetness for some flavor. The lids used on the drinks were terrible and kept leaking and whenever we tried sipping our drinks it would just spill all over our clothes. We just got severely disappointed and over it we tossed out our drinks that were almost $20. NOT WORTH IT. read more
