YE Gurl Says: A Global Sip Close to Home at Sweetwaters…read more Place: Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea Date: Post-chiro coffee run After an early morning reset, I needed caffeine and a quick bite before heading into calls--and landed at Sweetwaters in Dublin. Now, this isn't just another coffee chain. Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea was founded in Ann Arbor by first-generation children of Chinese immigrants, and you can feel that global influence all over the menu. It's not trying to be trendy--it's rooted in something real. A mix of European café staples and Asian-inspired drinks that actually make sense together. Order of the day: * French Vietnamese Au Lait * Egg & Cheese Biscuit Let's start with the drink. The French Vietnamese Au Lait is their signature for a reason--dark roasted chicory coffee meets sweetened condensed milk. Rich, smooth, slightly indulgent... and yes, I completely forgot I don't usually drink regular milk. That's how good it was. The egg & cheese biscuit was a smart add. Made to order, warm, and surprisingly satisfying for something quick. Not overly heavy, but enough to hold me over while taking calls. The setup leans more drive-thru convenience, especially with its proximity to hospitals and office hubs--but don't overlook the interior. There's actually plenty of seating if you want to sit down, reset, and get a bit of work done. YE Gurl says: Sweetwaters hits that sweet spot between familiar and globally inspired. If you're tired of the same coffee rotation, this is an easy upgrade--especially for that French Vietnamese Au Lait alone. Just... maybe remember your dairy limits before you get too comfortable.

If you go anywhere else, they would happily make new drinks and I'm not a difficult customer. Just disappointed with the service.

It's important to me and my family to support local businesses and finding such a wonderful coffee shop has made that beyond easy. We go in very frequently and are never disappointed! The drinks are always perfect (and they use Crimson Cup, another local company). The weekend breakfast options are fantastic every time, the cold case options are all delicious, and the baked goods are beautiful. I have literally never left without a smile on my face because it all hits the spot every single time. Probably our favorite part about stopping into Joe Vino's is the team. We adore them and look forward to seeing them most mornings. They are huge part of the reason why we can't help ourselves from going multiple times a week! Thank you, Joe Vino's for existing! We love supporting you!

My purchase consisted of pain au chocolat, two shortbread an orange brioche and a blueberry lemon taro tea. All of the items were amazing. I don't like items too sweet and the tea was perfect. The line moved fast and the staff were very efficient. There was outside seating as well as a few seats inside. I like that they support local small business. They were selling flowers from a local urban farm.

As usual, the line was out the door but thank goodness the weather was in our favor. Mentally already knew what to get so i couldn't get swayed. lol. I got the smoked salmon sandwich, maple butter latte, and a of course some macarons. My friend got the bacon onion quiche, chocolate pistachio feuillette, and a spiced apple matcha. Drinks were great. Both were creamy and tasty. I preferred the maple butter latte because it wasn't too sweet. I also wished mine came in a larger size. Smoked salmon sandwich was my favorite part of the meal. It was dill forward which was not an issue with me. The bread had a nice crunch to it. The cucumbers add a nice freshness that paired with the crème fraiche. I got a small tasting of the pistachio dessert which was rich but surprisingly made you want more. I like the nice touch of gold specks which made it very elegant. My friend enjoyed the quiche which was exciting to hear since they hate onions. They said they didn't even notice any. Can't wait to come back for some seasonal flavors Tip: Parking is a bit tough. Try to park a few blocks down since it's rare to find a spot right next to the cafe.

I ended up getting a scoop of the kheer that she'd recommended. I didn't realize there were raisins in it because the sample didn't have any. Oops! Won't order that again. LOL! My hubby got the filter coffee and mint chip. The mint chip was by far the best flavor. It had flakes of chocolate in it which is the best kind of chocolate to have in ice cream IMO. The spoonful of his filter coffee I tried was the worst coffee flavor I've ever had. It was strong, bitter, and icy....no cream or sugar flavor. I must've gotten a portion of the ice cream that was not blended properly. It was awful. He got me to take another little bite from a different part of the scoop and it still tasted way too strong and bitter to me. Overall not too impressed with their ice cream. If we go back I'll definitely be sticking to the mint chip flavor! I would give them 3 stars, but the service was great so I wanted the rating to reflect that experience.

There is no sign on the building and the sidewalk sign they have out front is so faded it's almost completely blank. But let me tell you, it's worth the hunt to find Honey Cup. We got an iced coffee which was perfectly balanced and not too sharp (you know what I mean) and it was served with finely chipped ice which IMO is the best way to drink and iced coffee. My partner got a hot vanilla latte and it was rich and creamy with warm notes from the vanilla. Both drinks cost around $12, which is a decent price IMO. The atmosphere is supposed to be sort of kitschy and fun, but TBH it just made me feel like I was drinking coffee in my grandma's garage. I'm not taking stars off because the coffee was *THAT* good and the service was also excellent but I can't relax in a fabric chair from the thrift store. I don't care how cute it is. Those are my personal tiny gripes, the coffee and service is excellent!

I hate leaving a review like this because I genuinely enjoy supporting small businesses, but I also…read morethink honest feedback can be helpful. First, I want to say that I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The music was great, the space is beautiful, and the location is convenient and easy to get to. I originally ordered a latte and asked if they had a milk alternative. I was told they make their own oat milk in house, which sounded great. I then asked if they could tell me whether it was gluten-free. I ask this at every coffee shop because I have to avoid gluten, and I've always found that staff are happy to check ingredients or packaging when there's an allergy or dietary concern. Unfortunately, they told me they didn't know if it was gluten-free and weren't sure how to find out. Because of that, I decided to order a cold brew instead. About five minutes later, I was called back up and told they were out of cold brew. At that point, my only real option was a plain iced coffee. It was disappointing to visit a new coffee shop and not be able to order either of the two drinks I came in hoping to get. More than anything, I think this highlighted an opportunity for improvement. It would be helpful if staff knew the ingredients in the products they serve, especially when customers ask about allergens, and if inventory was communicated before orders were taken. I hope this feedback is taken in the spirit it's intended. I wanted to love this place because it has a lot going for it, and I hope these are things that can be improved.
