Love, love Waterbean! Great coffee and a chill atmosphere. Perfect spot to work remotely. I've worked from here often--always a good vibe!

drinks: 3/5 vibes: 4/5 we got the pandan mint latte and a cold brew with pumpkin spice cold foam. the pandan and mint flavors were super super strong - more than i anticipated but still good. it was a bit too sweet for my taste. the cold brew was a little bitter but i think it's because we ordered late in the afternoon. the space itself is super cute though - great study spot and pretty quiet if you really need to lock in. read more

Love this coffee spot and now even more that I found out it is pet friendly! I've tried a few different coffees here but my favorite so far is the winter spice because it has a little bit of chai flavor to it. The inside of this location is smaller but great for to go orders of small groups to dine in! Super convenient location with plenty of parking! The employees are always super nice and helpful with placing orders! read more

Very good iced chai. Underwhelming breakfast sandwich. Reasonably priced, but I would be willing to pay a premium for better (local, homemade) bread options. Ordered pick up via the app. read more

Just left and super unimpressed. I agree, this location seems like the customer is bothering them. I asked the barista or whomever she was for a second to look over the menu, as I have never been here before. She rolled her eyes. I didn't feel she was capable of answering basic questions about the products, so I got a rice Krispy treat and left. Ma'am- please find a different job- you should not work with the public. read more

When I moved recently I knew I would have to seek out my new go to coffee shop. Thankfully I didn't have to search too far, as right around the corner on Park Road was this location of Waterbean Coffee. Waterbean is a local chain with several locations around North Carolina primarily in the Charlotte metro area. I have been by several of them but had never had a chance to try it. Having just moved to the neighborhood it seemed like a perfect opportunity, and I was immediately impressed! The coffee and the lattes come out great and the service is quick and friendly. This is probably one of their smallest locations as they only have a few seats indoors and a couple tables outside, but it's location along Park Road makes it perfect to grab an iced latte and enjoy a walk on a fine day, and there is also plenty of parking around back if you need to take it on the road. I am very high on this brand and look forward to trying other locations in the future. read more

Another favorite spot for coffee in a conveniently located area. They have quite a few options for hot and cold brews and some pastries and food. I usually go for an oat milk latte with a glutten free cookie, and it's gets more delicious every time. Staff is always friendly. There is a parking garage that recently started charging for parking through an bar code displayed in signs. Good stuff! read more

Still exploring the new neighborhood, but stopped in today to check Waterbean out. I did not know there were so many locations (with the original in Huntersville). The location off of Park Road is super convenient with plenty of parking deck parking (behind the shop). There is a median, so if you are coming from uptown (northish) on Park, just drive past the location (will be on your left) and make a left at the light (Seneca) and come around the McAlisters & Public Storage in the back. Or just make a U-turn on Park - easy peasy. Nice outdoor patio and super clean/modern interior and easy going vibe inside. There's a handful of tables - Only one person enjoying coffee and one person with their laptop at the bar. COVID stuff: No signs on the door about masking, but I wore mine anyway. It was nice to see the staffers wearing their masks. For the most part, people coming in to pick up their orders were wearing masks too. Ordered a black iced coffee and the ultimate breakfast sandwich (bacon, over-easy egg, sundried tomatoes, arugula, swiss, light mayo based sauce on a brioche bun. YUM! The staffer made the sandwich fresh so there was a wait on it (very short) but well worth the wait. I got to hang out and soak in the vibe of the place and take my yelp photos. Lots of goodies and treats on the counter. Saw some vegan bread next to the assortment of macarons. Food menus look to be location dependent (based on what is available) so probably a nice rotation of goods and treats - I'm assuming locally sourced. Staffers are very quick and efficient and even brought my sandwich to me at the table I was sitting at (instead of yelling out a name). The coffee menu is a little intimidating. I'm mostly a black coffee person - but it looks like you can have coffee the way you want it here. My idea of adventure is maybe sticking the black coffee over ice. Great to have this in the neighborhood! I'll keep working my way through their breakfast sandwiches ... they also have lunch sandwiches too. read more

Nice cozy little coffee shop that also have other morning pick me up options like the Nitro thai Latte and Chai Latte which were very yummy. The lady who took our order was nice and recommended the drink we ordered. The wait period was not long at all. Even the dogs love this spot cause they know it's a treat for them as well. read more

I love a good aesthetically pleasing cafe! Cute, clean location. Ordered the Volcano & it was a bit sweet but strong! Would recommend if you're in the mood for a mix of dark roast & condensed milk. SN: There is seating available on the outside & inside. Parking is available in the parking garage next to it. read more

Consistently welcoming service. A really chill and airy vibe. There's a wide variety of plant based milks which is refreshing. They introduced me to macadamia nut milk and I can't get enough of it! Not sure if other places in town are offering it yet. I've had a couple of mochas and a latte. They've all been very good and the perfect temperature. Covid friendly while the weather is still good with plenty of outdoor seating. This has easily become my favorite coffee spot on the south side. read more

Every-time I have been to this location , I try to give the baristas the benefit of the doubt or that they may be having a bad day.

Waterbean is a clean & quiet place to get some work done on your laptop, with great, reasonably priced coffee and baked snacks. It's located in an intimate space with a minimalist feel and modern ambient music. In the late afternoon, be sure to dress in layers as the temperature fluctuates when the sun peeks through the huge windows. It's easy to access the free Wi-Fi which is fast enough for most any task you might have. Thanks to Crystal who is a friendly and accommodating barista! read more

They take tea seriously - :) (how refreshing). The coffee is tasty, the service is great.... agree with others that this place is always clean and it's got some really tasty treat options. My favorite are the mini packaged macarons (2-packs are too cute!!!) I don't know if they make these macarons or partner with someone else, but they're unbelievably delicious and perfectly made. The tea education is amazing here and they offer amazing flavors for tea drinkers. Just remember to steep it according to their instruction or it wont' be as amazing as it can be :) read more

The sun shone down and the sky was a rarely seen, complete blue. We embraced our need for caffeine and went for the predictable order of Espresso Tasting Flight (selecting #1, #2 and #3 espresso) with a side order of Coffee Tasting Flight with cream on the side of the cream. Pear people were everywhere. The countries that provides our side flights were Mexico, Ethiopia and Vietnam. The farmers were probably underpaid and yet told the trade was fair. High on excessive amounts of delightfully made perfect coffee, we embraced a radical game of "Flights" with an epic battle of Cougar vs. Man. A close game opened up when the Cougar made a classic novice error and the man took full advantage and reclaimed his World Heavy Weight Champion belt, taking his record to 44-0. read more

I decided to stop by Waterbean Coffee after it was highly recommended by a friend local to Charlotte. Service was great, food variety was excellent (breakfast, pastries, and lunch items available), parking was not an issue, and a great list of coffee choices on the menu. The only reason why I give this location a four star is partly due to the fact that I did not enjoy their Vietnamese Iced Coffee. I am a HUGE lover of Vietnamese Coffee and was highly disappointed when I got one at Waterbean. However, I may have gotten the wrong item and will need to order something else for a second trip. read more

We just visited this location . The store is very clean and bright and our lattes were so good . Unfortunately the girl working there was far cry from what I'm sure you expect from an employee. We are new to the area and it was our first time in a Waterbean coffee. We even mentioned that to her . As we approached the counter her head was down and she never even looked up . We waited and just started to order. She looked at her screen typed in the two drinks and stood there . I paid and she walked away . Two more people came in again no greeting . She finished the drinks and just held them up to give us . We said thank You . The only words she ever spoke to us was "hot or cold " . You may want to rethink this employee to represent your fabulous product . 9/28 @ 10 am . read more

This is a pretty good coffee shop! Convenient location and nice esthetic. Service is always quick too. I've never been overly impressed with coffee that I've ordered there, but I also have only tried a few diff items and I wasn't impressed in their dirty chai latte. I will keep trying diff items in an attempt to change my mind and rating! read more

I love me some iced latte, especially when I first wake up. Today I tried Waterbean which is directly across the street from me, I know how convenient. The interior is very clean and looks new. They have an outdoor area with tables which is obviously closed at the moment, but you can still order your drinks and goodies to go. I ordered a vanilla, iced latte and enjoyed my drink. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Waterbean sells Thai iced tea as well..... bonus for me as I love that drink. I'll definitely be back. How can I not when it's across the street. read more

Stopped in for a black coffee, no add ins, and tbh it's the best coffee I've had in the area. Not too bitter, good taste...wouldn't think a plain coffee would be hard to find but if you know what I mean, this is the place to go. Not a whole lot of seating, but it's good when it's slow. read more

I've tried their latte's, coffee and iced coffee... I don't like any of it. They use whatever coffee bean they need to "use up" for their cold brew, so you get a different one every time. It's extremely bitter and barely drinkable. I want to love this place because it is convenient for me and I love supporting local, but sadly, it's just not good. read more
