Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea — Restaurant in Clinton Township

I have recently started this thing where I go check out places I’ve been wanting to try solo living my life not waiting for anyone to do things I want to try and today it was Sweetwaters Coffee and Tea and might I say I was surprised at how much I liked it. I occasionally drink Starbucks coffee but I might be kissing Starbucks goodbye after trying here. From the time I walked in the staff was nice and accommodating. I didn’t know what I wanted and they quickly helped me figure it out and I didn’t feel rushed. It wasn’t busy inside and the atmosphere feels really homey. They had tons of things to choose from on the menu as far as coffee and tea and what I also liked was that they had alternative milk options for those who don’t drink regular milk like myself. Everything is fairly priced and to be honest the prices are way better than Starbucks in my opinion. On my food a small mishap was made on my sandwich but the manager realized right away and fixed it no problem! The food was delicious and that lemon bar was divine and I will be taking another home with me 😋. Everything came out on a glass plate and when I was done eating they came out and got my dishes, and check this… the manager also came out and asked me if I enjoyed everything, major plus! I haven’t had service like this before at a coffee shop. Phenomenal service! I honestly can’t really say anything bad about this place, but if I had any negative feedback it’s that perhaps the music is slightly too loud…people usually come to read or study at coffee shops and the music could maybe be a tad lower but that’s it! I enjoyed my experience and I will be back! Starbucks you’ve lost one, sorry not sorry!! Ya’ll need to run not walk to Sweetwaters coffee...

This is an absolute gem of a coffee shop! The owner and employees take real pride in their craft and take regular, ordinary coffee (and non-coffee!) beverages to a whole new level. Delicious coffee drinks with real syrups and house-made whipped cream. I love their peppermint white chocolate mocha! They use actual Matcha powder in their drinks, not just extracts from leaves, giving a more robust flavor. One of my favorite drinks is the strawberry bliss, which is made with yogurt and strawberries and they certainly do NOT skimp on the strawberries!! My new favorites are: Dragon Jasmine pearl tea- SO comforting and floral scented, and lightly flavored. I am a tea lover, and this certainly was the most unique and joyful flavor I’ve ever had. Napoli Brew- OMG. This gives espresso and creamy ice cream and sweet hazelnut all in a milkshake form. Decadence in a cup. As for the food, I would love to come back and try one of their breakfast sandwiches, but their OMG chocolate cake definitely takes the “CAKE” and lives up to it’s name. Whether you’re in a hurry and need a quick drive-through fix, or want the more intimate sit down feel, the service, atmosphere, and selection is impeccable. I really just appreciate having a great local coffee shop, like Sweetwater, so...

((EDITED REVIEW: raised from 1 star to 4 stars after owner noticed and responded since I couldn't otherwise contact them. Hopefully the cup issues get sorted out as there are always greats choices and everything is really tasty, service is always greats ans fast, and eberything is super clean. 5 stars when the lids/cups are resolved!))

Love Sweetwater so much that I drive out of my way to get it/get it when out that way. However, the cup/lid has changed and has made a huge mess and damage!

The lid has popped off my (large, hot) cup 2 times today, and there is latte mess was everywhere! And despite cleaning up the cup and lid, it is also leaking to try to drink from it. The LID IS WAY TOO LOOSE!

I tried to call multiple times to let them know so they can address it, or at least provide a warning, and no answer and a full voicemail. I don't know how to connect with them short of driving back. I'm not sure if this is a franchise issue or all Sweetwater locations issue.

This needs to be fixed, but miminimally, posting here, maybe this ALERT PEOPLE TO BRING THEIR OWN CUP and transfer their beverage saving a massive amount of damage, clean up time, and...
