Five stars is not enough for this place. I have been going here for coffee for almost a year now, and have never had a bad experience. The coffee is great, love the baked goods...even the day olds (mainly because they're a dollar lol) I like it because it's normally busy which is a good sign, the staff is really friendly. I am now actual real life friends with most of the people who work here. Always really clean in there, and the prices are fair. It's more expensive than Starbucks, but for the quality of the coffee there, and the all around atmosphere I would gladly pay this much and more for my coffee. Hopefully they don't look at this and start charging me more. The only sad thing is when I move out of state I can't take them with me. I will somehow have to find a place that lives up to my new expectations and standards...thank you SweetWaters.

I decided on this location to meet up with a friend. It is near the EMU campus and offers plenty of parking, although it seems that you pay a meter toll during the day, i gratefully missed it. The place is small and quaint. The art work on the wall was fantastic. It was a nice, colorful drawing by an assumed, local talented artist. The staff were also pleasant. There are good selections of coffees and pastries. I got the caramel latte. It was a great cup of coffee and packs a nice caffeine punch. i also had the Blueberry pastry which was a great compliment to the coffee. They have Wifi and plenty of seating. I plan on stopping back through soon.

This Ypsi franchise of Ann Arbor's beloved hometown cafe sits at the end of Cross St., across from EMU, in the shadow of Ypsi's limestone Dong of Power. Great retail feng shui, and a super upgrade to the block. This one has the same assortment of local baked goods and signature drinks as their other locations, but in their smallest and most upscale setup. From the gorgeous, high-top communal table up front (handmade from reclaimed wood), to the wood-planked / chalkboard walls, it's a warm, classy spot to work in, meet someone, or grab a drink on your way in/out of the city (easy street parking and adjacent lot). Yay for cafe diversity - between the lived-in living room of the Ugly Mug, the expansive and eclectic Cafe Ollie, and Sweetwaters fishbowl facing EMU, there's a few good ways to kill time with caffeine in Ypsi!

My default order is cheaper at Sweetwaters than Starbucks, so that's enough to win me over right there. When it's not patio weather, the shop itself is a little on the small side but I've never had a problem finding a seat when I wanted one.

They have almond milk and will have sugar free pumpkin spice syrup in the fall. Great service too. I Will definitely be back.

Blech. I had to get on and write this because I was so grossed out and disappointed this morning. I went to this Sweetwaters a few times before when they first opened and I still lived in the area. It seemed fine. I'm always surprised at their prices when I go there. For some reason I expect them to be a little less expensive than Ugly Mug (which has a better quality of coffee) which is why I chose them today since I just wanted an iced coffee. (Moment of clarification: Ugly mug's iced coffee is AMAZING, just their large is a 16 oz and expensive. I wanted more bang for less bucks. Sigh) It was pricier than I expected - and unfortunately it was pretty gross which just added insult to the injury. I tried to drink it, I mean, I can force myself to drink Maxwell house when I'm desperate, but for the price I paid I only took maybe two sips before I grit my teeth and drove to the nearest Starbucks to get a replacement drink. I dumped it out in the parking lot. Ugh. WATERY. Yikes! I could taste a hint of coffee flavor (I think, maybe I was so traumatized I was desperately forcing my tastebuds to compensate), though what flavor I couldn't tell you because it was so watered down. Did they just take old hot coffee and dump ice in it? It had so much ice in it already! I had to battle with the cup with the straw to shove it in there it was packed so tight with ice cubes. The store smelled like backed up sewer. I knew as soon as that smell hit me that I should have just turned and left but I'm too big of a wuss since the barista greeted me. Shame on me, it's my money! So I bought the drink anyway and boy did I get my comeuppance for doing that. Very disappointing experience, especially since I go out of my way to get coffee in this area (my choice, since where I work only has Starbucks and I wanted something different) and was left wanting. Lesson learned. I'm sorry Ugly Mug, I'll never forsake you for Sweetwaters again.

The most irritating thing about Sweetwaters is the fact that they fill your drink to the brim, then expect you to walk over to the counter with napkins and lids, then actually put a lid on. This task is absolutely impossible, dear Yelpers, but by ordering from this establishment you have accepted the challenge. I find myself here when I'm in the mood for tea and have some time to kill around Eastern. It's not the kind of place I would drive to, but it serves a purpose. The drinks are expensive, as expected of a college-town coffee shop. They're also very sweet and tasty! The interior is always clean, and the service has consistently been acceptable. Maybe it's just me, but Sweetwater has never been the kind of place I would write home about. Nothing about it is particularly excellent. I enjoy the variety of teas they have, but that may be all it has going for it. Perhaps I'll never get over receiving a cup filled to the brim with (ice) tea and then being expected to transport it lidlessly to the lids across the store. Without spilling it on the way there. And without spilling it while putting the lid on. But Mia, you say, why not just take a sip first!? Because it's a Thai iced tea and taking a sip first means just drinking half and half and no. Stir then sip? Too full of ice to stir. Despite my frustrations, the Thai iced tea is very good, albeit heavy on the ice. It's a relaxing place near campus with free wifi, so why not?

A very good and conveniently placed coffee spot for Eastern students, and Ypsilanti commuters alike. The coffee here is much better than the pricey filth water that Eastern doles out. Take my word on this one!

I had the huge oatmeal raisin cookies here a few months ago and fell in love! However, the last 3 cookies I have gotten -- going out of my way because I can't stop thinking about the ones from the first time -- have been less than substandard!!! The first time I chalked it up to a fluke, and I took it back and asked for a replacement. The second one was better but still not good. So I decided that was just a bad day. Today I bought another one and it was worse than the last two! I swear these cookies taste like they've been in the freezer for months -- freezer burned and stale. Blech!!!! :( Taking it back tomorrow and this time accepting my money back, not getting a replacement.

We caught the 4th of July parade here sitting on the outdoor patio and drinking a latte and a lemonade, respectively. Walking distance from my home so I love to stop by for weekend brunch or a weekday lunch. Great coffee, ginger fizz, nice cookies and the occasional savory (panini-type sandwiches, a pesto type pastry, salads; menu seems to vary but they are always good. Wait staff is always friendly and fast, nice atmosphere with wireless and windows all around. really nice addition to Cross St.

Been here a few times, coffee is always amazing, the service is always friendly and never had a bad experience yet!!!! Best coffee place in town you have to come here.

Incredible service, so prompt but not pushy. Great selection of tea's and a variety of iced tea's. Play's pleasant music, great food, so impressed! It's night and day between this and the ugly mug!

I've been here like 50 times. It continues to be perfect. Also, they finally upgraded the hand dryers so they actually dry hands.

Great place to come and work on homework or just to talk. The staff is very friendly and is willing to help you decide between various types of teas, coffees, or snacks. Love the space, love the design, LOVE the chalk wall in the back. Gives the place an artistic flair without being tacky. This place is great and I will definitely be back again. I do wish that they could have later hours, but do appreciate that they are open until 11. I have late classes that don't get out until 9pm and having a cafe that's open past class hours is wonderful. The options to stay out late and do homework late is quite limited, unless I want to drive to Ann Arbor. Thanks guys for opening up this cafe for us students.

Great place for a drink or snack - excellent addition to the campus and the broader neighborhood. Excellent location right next to EMU's campus. Sweetwater's should win an award for biggest improvement in a space from the previous store that was here.
