👀 Check out my IG for more 🥃 news, insight, pairings and other fun related content. We loved staying at The Olive Ann! Normally when we travel, we always find the closest Starbucks, but this trip was different. Sweetwaters is located on the first floor of the hotel, and it was one of the only alternative coffee shops I have enjoyed besides Starbucks!

🤩 Incredible customer service and hours of operation were fantastic even for a mid afternoon pick me up.

🥐 An amazing spread of breakfast items from pastries to breakfast sandwiches, to cheesecake and brownies. I appreciated that the sandwiches were customizable and able to be ordered to go. The sandwiches were part of a $6 drink + sandwich deal.

☕️ My go-to is an iced Americano, and I loved that they had multiple espresso options. Too many times I’m left trying a bright, citrus-forward Americano, only to throw it away. They had a medium roast and dark roast. I chose the dark roast option, and it was an Americano I enjoyed.

We really enjoyed the midnight roast, which was in the hotel room in K-cup form. Brewed in person, it was just as good as we brought a bag of beans home.

We also ordered the oatmilk chai, iced dragon (like a Frappuccino), and iced oatmilk latte. All received great reviews from those who consumed them. The Frappuccino-like beverage had sweetened condensed milk in it too!

While not ordered, they had plenty of fruit-based beverages and teas.

⚠️ Food Allergies were present, but the staff were super accommodating and patient as we made our requests for clean pitchers and reading product labels! Both my boys were able to order beverages. Oat milk was an option, but I’m unsure of their gluten-free food options. ✌🏽Perspectives from “whiskey_with” (IG and TikTok) Whiskey_with food pairings, friends, coffee, distillery tours, bonfires, and good vibes.

I had such a great experience at Sweetwaters, thanks to Molly and AJ! They were both incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. Molly made me an amazing hot chocolate—perfectly rich and comforting—while AJ helped me choose some delicious pastries and knew so much about everything in the shop. On top of that, they even gave me some great local recommendations to check out.

This wasn’t my first great experience either—on a previous visit, Elizabeth was so amazing and made a lasting impression with her kindness and service. There were also two other young ladies working that on another day whose names I can’t remember, but they were just as friendly and helpful.

Honestly, everyone I’ve interacted with at Sweetwaters has been wonderful. They’re not just great at what they do—they're genuinely good people. Sweetwaters is lucky to have such a strong team, and their kindness and service shouldn’t...

Exceptional customer service, and the coffee is fantastic too! That is not even mentioning the atmosphere! I love this spot. Looking out into Downtown Grand Forks, the big picture windows provide a big city feel for our little ol' town. Whenever my family and I are out and about, we make sure to swing by Sweetwaters in The Olive Ann. It's one of the best downtown spots to hang out. Great for coffee lovers who love a fancy but...
