Napali Brew and Macha latte is my favorite. Staff is very friendly and the shop is very clean. It is a good place to hangout or do some study or work. It seems patio table is available during the summer season.

I was glad to finally have a genuine coffee experience during my trip in Michigan. A lot of places nearby sell “coffee” but nothing quite like this. The staff helped me make up my mind and it was a pleasant stop. The coffee was nice, rich, and not too sweet. The only downside is the weird parking lot meters. I wasn’t sure if they were being monitored or not since they all were blinking. I waited for the 10-15 minute parking spot to open just in case.

I stopped in real quick while on the road for work, and I’m glad I did. It’s quite possibly one of the best cups of coffee that I’ve even gotten…and the staff was fantastic as well! I will certainly come back when I’m in the area again.

It’s kind of pricey, but if you are wealthy like me, it’s not an issue. The chocolate chocolate chip latte is to die for. And this place is child friendly!

The kind of coffee shop you expect in a college area. Not in a negative way. Great atmosphere, kind and helpful employees, service was quick and friendly. I tried the iced caramel latte and it was delicious as well as a traditional drip coffee that was also very good. They have good quality of coffee and coupled with the service and atmosphere I would highly recommend.

I went to Sweetwaters by EMU this morning for the first time and ordered food and coffee only to then find out I didn’t have my card to pay. Without hesitation, the barista said “well at least you can get you your coffee.” While some businesses would possibly fire such an employee (please don’t!), this small gesture will keep me coming back more than I probably would have before. Thank you for your kindness!

My favorite place to get a latte with the friendliest staff, morning or afternoon. Super welcoming, best coffee and tea (best matcha around), and lots of space to sit!! This is my favorite Sweetwaters location because of the inclusive and kind staff.

Usually completely happy with what I get here, but the past month of watery matcha lattes and watery cold brews have left me realllyyyyy disappointed. To be fair, the prices are very very fair compared to some in the A2/Ypsi area, just disappointed that I didn’t get the delicious, creamy and flavorful cold brew or fruity, rich matcha I was promised.

This place was ok, glad it allowed my puppy but being busy shouldn’t mean unfriendly or rude. I ordered coffee and was there a while and needed a cup of water, I was pretty much told no due to busy orders. I am all for can you give us 5 min or come back in a few. I was ended up given water but it was hot, so I’m unsure what was the purpose.
