the employees were super nice and made my drink quickly. i got a seasonal matcha drink (forgot the name of it). i believe it was a mix of matcha and lychee. unfortunately, the matcha was not good. honestly, i don’t even know how to describe it other than it was tasteless. maybe the other drinks are better
Best Thai ice tea ever… the OMG cake is also fabulous and amazing. Every time people were nice. Place is clean. Definitely my favorite coffee and tea place. The rewards is sort of confusing as it gets tied to your credit card after you add your number in once. The prepackaged stuff are all pretty good too. Size is good.
I stopped by Sweetwaters NEWCITY this morning and it hit the spot. The space is warm and inviting great lighting, comfy seating, and enough room to work or lounge. The staff were friendly and efficient; my drink (mango Macha) came just right, balanced and flavorful. What impressed me most was the menu: plenty of interesting options beyond the standard coffeehouse fare unique teas, some very good pastries, and light food. Plus, it’s nice to see real ingredients used (fresh, natural stuff) rather than too many artificial flavors. If you’re in the neighborhood and looking for a place to get good coffee, hang out, or have a relaxed meeting, Sweetwaters is a strong pick. I’ll definitely be back.
Tucked back inside a little entertainment district, there's a lot of different flavored drinks and a solid selection of food offerings. Drinks and the pastry we got were pretty good, really enjoyed the art of display as well.
Stopped by here to try out their coffee and I’m sorry to say I was disappointed. I got the cold brew with caramel and it didn’t really have that rich coffee taste that I was looking for and get from other establishments. The lemon bar was similar and also without that tart lemon flavor and quite chewy. Not my cup of tea so to say. Plenty of seating though and right next to the movie theatre so good location for it I guess.

Sip, savor, and unwind with artisanal coffee and tea in a cozy Chicago haven.
