    Yummy cinnamon and sugar iced latte in cute drink-ware!!
    Kasie S.

    Super cute and classy coffee shop!!!! At first, while walking in I was a bit confused as it's attached to a gas station...but after going in, seeing the decor and overall high-end vibe, I realized you definitely can't judge based off the outside of a place and make assumptions. Walked in with my bestie and started browsing the menu. We weren't greeted upon entering, but the staff was still friendly-ish at checkout and helpful when we asked about menu items. My friend ordered an iced green tea frappe which was very good to me, but too sweet for her liking. She also ordered a breakfast sandwich on a croissant with ham and cheese but said it could've used some sauce or something but that it was still good. I ordered what the barista recommended and got an iced cinnamon and sugar latte with a build your own breakfast sandwich. I chose a croissant, bacon, provolone cheese, and an egg. The drink was pretty good, very sweet, but I like it sweet, so that was perfect. The sandwich was okay...the croissant itself was amazing and buttery, flakey perfection...but the bacon wasn't crispy, it was sort of limp and didn't seem like it was cooked well enough, or at least to my liking anyways. The cheese and egg were good, but the bacon part was a little disappointing to me, and I agree it could've used some sauce to tie the whole thing together, so next time I will ask for some. Overall, I would recommend this cafe, because it's very classy-looking aesthetically, and the drink-ware and plating was very pretty and seemed like there was a lot of love and effort placed in our drinks, food etc. If you go, just know that it is a bit pricey, and if you want your bacon or meat crispy, you definitely need to ask for that. I know people have different preferences sometimes. If you don't like a super sweet drink, don't order the iced green tea frappe, it's very sweet as I said before. Maybe ask the baristas what's best for your taste preferences before ordering and that would be helpful. :) I did notice there's a drive thru which is really awesome and rare for a small business coffee shop to have!! There is plenty of space to eat and drink and enjoy time there, and the bathroom is super clean and tidy!!!:)

    Friendly service. Absolutely delicious lattes. A spacious seating area to sip and yap or pop open your laptop and do some work. An all around fab spot! Only docked one star for limited parking, but it's worth the wait!

    Waterbean Coffee has a very clean and elegant atmosphere. They have several tables including a large group table. They also have several outlets available. The two staff members working during my visit were not especially friendly or interested in providing customer service. The shop offers several different coffees with various flavors, brews, etc. they also offer several sandwiches and baked goods. The coffee was a little expensive for the sizes. . I switched to the Chai tea latte instead and it was very good

    Had a chance to stop by Waterbean Coffee on a recent trip to Charlotte and it was cute! It's adjacent to a gas station, so you likely will have to search to find. But they've got great milk alternative options. I got the honey lavender latte special and avocado toast. Both were pretty good. The servers were kind. It's a good quick pit stop if you're headed on the highway.

    Wonderful experience at this Waterbean location! It was hardly busy for a Thursday morning. There are several outlets for people trying to get work done, and they also have a drive through. It doesn't look like much from the outside being attached to a gas station, but the inside atmosphere is the same as any other Waterbean location I've been to (Winston-Salem and Huntersville for reference). I always love the iced chai at Waterbean; I personally prefer it to all other iced chai I've had from coffee shops. I decided to try the macarons this visit too and loved them, especially the Italian cream!

    Super cute little find. I've been going on a coffee shop tour around the concord area recently and have found a few gems and a bunch of so-so spots. This place was one of the better ones I've found! The outside is a little unassuming since it's connected to a gas station, and that's one of the reasons I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. But the inside is very cute. It's clean and bright and welcoming. Cute tables and chairs, nice long coffee bar, a cute little selection of bakery goods. They have a drive through. They have a good sized menu. They have their own brand of coffee beans you can buy. I got a chai tea latte and one of their seasonal coffee drinks- it was an iced latte with snickerdoodle cold foam. Both drinks were very good. My kids tried a rice crispy and that was good, nothing overly amazing, but still good. Good experience, I'd go back again.

    I recently found this place but I love it. It's an alternative to Starbucks, small , quaint and free internet.

    That gas station feel ends as soon as you walk in the door (they also have a drive-through).

The shop itself is adorable, the staff is friendly, and the overall experience is great. But unfortunately, the star of the show, the ice cream fell short for us. While the texture was nice and creamy, the flavors just didn't deliver. My cherry and peach scoops had barely a piece or two of fruit, and the flavor was very mild, almost nonexistent. I shared my thoughts with a local friend and, without prompting, they described the exact same experience. We're rooting for this place and really hope they make some tweaks to their recipes. A bit more flavor and a few more mix-ins could make a world of difference. We'd love to see them succeed and become a long-term part of the downtown scene.

    First of all, it's frozen custard, NOT ice cream! It is not just frozen custard either, it's the…read moremost delicious frozen custard I have ever tasted in my life. If I don't have Andy's at least twice a week I go into a severe depression until I have a sundae or concrete in my hands! But seriously, the custard is silky smooth. It's made fresh hourly which I have witnessed several times by sitting outside the Andy's window and watching it slowly pour out from the machine. I've tried every single concoction they've made since moving to the Concord area a year ago. My favorites have been the cherry pie concrete, pumpkin pie concrete, chocolate cake sundae, blueberry cobbler sundae & concrete, lemon bar concrete and strawberry shortcake sundae. The shakes and sodas are amazing. Also, the cones are made fresh daily and really good. Best of all you can customize your custard any way you want which is great for cravings. I promised you that even if you get a simple cone or cup of Andy's frozen vanilla custard you will be hooked. I've had friends come from out of town and have their minds blown away by this stuff. Of course I joined the rewards program to get notifications on the new desserts that will be featured and get points for purchases. Who doesn't love free frozen custard for being a loyal customer. Needless to say I get those freebies quite often. Clearly I'm obsessed with Andy's. Depending on how long the drive thru line is, I usually take my Andy's to go, but on those hot summer nights there's nothing like sitting outside and enjoying my little cup of frozen heaven. Why are you still reading this? Go get Andy's!!!

U have to pull up to the drive thru window to tell the person what u want. Took only about 5 mins for our orders to be made. Service here was quick! I decided to try the BootDaddy Concrete (10/10) it was vanilla custard with chucks of Oreo, caramel, and fudge. It was sooo good! Really enjoyed it. Def added Andy's on my go to list; I'll for sure be back again! My overall rate of experience : 10/10
