"Excellent coffee and wonderful customer experience last evening. The barista who waited on me was very cheery, warm and welcoming and recommended a great cup of Americana coffee last evening when I stopped in after dinner. Unfortunately I didn't get her name as I would have mentioned here, but she knows who she is because I thanked her very much in person. I hope you keep her staff as she makes a visit very pleasant and informative. Thanks, Paul"

"We just ordered two cortados at Waterbean Coffee. First off, I really liked the vibe of the place—the light colors, white tiles with black accents, kind of a clean style. And most importantly, all the little details they put into it really make it feel nice and enjoyable."

"On the road again! Third visit to Waterbean. The service and execution are top notch here. There have been different folks working each time and the quality of the whole operation has been consistent. Bravo! Can’t go wrong with any of the FIVE espresso roast levels. My taste leans more toward the medium and dark roasts, but they’re all excellent. The lox bagel sandwich did the trick for me :) I understand they have multiple locations. I hope to get to all of them over time. Thank you!"

"My bf and I have been regulars at this location for over a year now! The employees have always been amazing, especially Kenzie and Ash. McKenna makes the BEST specialty coffee drinks! It's right next to taco mama as well so is the perfect spot for a lunch coffee outing."

"First time here. Love the colorful coffee beans on the wall! Finch was very nice and helpful! I had and enjoyed the salted caramel iced coffee and a white chocolate and cranberry cookie. I will definitely be back!"

"Great atmosphere, friendly baristas and excellent coffee! It's become my go-to spot in Winston because they genuinely care about the coffee, rather than just pumping simple syrup and masking everything. I love the Ethiopia French Press! That being said, their lattes are excellent and I recently treated myself to one of the specials, the "Ice Cream Truck". Look at that presentation!"

"The girl working on Sunday morning 10/12 was all by herself and was doing a wonderful job! She was taking all the orders, making all the coffees and all the food and still had a smile on her face. Amazing job!!"
