Love these guys so much. I go there every day before work. I guess I have become a regular for this one sweet lady cause all I have to do is say I want my usual and she knows what that is.

Had some time to burn between tutoring a student and meeting my mother who had come down for happy hour on her way to the airport. I’ve been thinking about impulses lately. Nothing salacious. This was at 3:30 pm. It was cold outside, and I’m on a iced-latte kick. You get it: coffee now or sleep at night. Yet, I let that latte urge take over, even though sweetwater’s goes a little light on the milk (see Paige Utah review). One of my wonders is whether this is similar to what happens with the phone in bed. I started leaving my phone out of the bedroom overnight which helped a lot, but I’m back at it. Here’s the thing: when I open up the news page, a wiki article, a single video, I know I’m going to lose at least an hour. It’s an addiction, clearly, right? Caffeine is a drug, clearly, right? Or is impulse control a bigger factor? And here’s where I get in trouble—although this is almost certainly not true, I tell myself that part of it might be my soul rebelling against the notion that there is some correct way I should be spending my time. Or time can spent or that spending should be somehow someway responsible. Some people might call that perspective procrastination veneered. Anyway, it’s true that I like feeling alive. The latte here gave me more of that than most articles and videos (which have the worst aftertaste). Maybe that’s the difference.Mother is doing well. About to get a new puppy. Very happy for her.

visiting sweetwaters made my day today, they are always in goid mood and happy to explain what is in the drinks. and i got my pastry in a bag with this cute hand drawen picture. thank you sweetwaters!i love the atmosphere in this particular location, it is tiny, but somehow it feels cosy, and they have a pretty wall covered in pothos, it makes it feel more cosy.

Wow, rude staff! We ordered food and drinks after a movie at the Michigan Theater, in a college town. They didn’t tell us they closed! We were rudely told we had to leave, they were closed. It would have been courteous of them to tell us they were closing. We would have made another choice. Will never go there again.

And most especially the staff are always so sweet! They sometimes will even draw a cute pic on your bag or cup! Above and beyond for sure, thank yall for being so delightful!

They let us order and pay, then told us they were closing and we had to leave. Practically forcing us out before we even got our drinks.

Great location on E Liberty street. Close to M Den, restaurants and campus. Not too busy. Nice and clean and colorful inside. Happy music playing. The workers are really nice. Order came out fast. Triple mocha. Taste was good. Very hot. No complaints.

I ordered a double hot lavender oat milk latte which came out fairly quick. So tasty! Friendly staff, nice music and good volume. Lots of seating options even though it's a small space. Not too crowded either, they did a good job with arranging furniture. The high top seats are not very comfortable though. Overall good space for studying or reading.
