Waterbean Coffee 35 North Main Street, Belmont, NC 28012

"This place is fantastic! Great coffee and deserts outstanding service and a wonderful, laid back atmosphere!! I really appreciate that they were so accommodating to me! I asked for my coffee in a ceramic mug , because I don't like to make any more trash than I can help to, and they informed me that their dishwasher was on the fritz and wouldn't be back up until tomorrow. When I told told them why I didn't want a paper cup, they told me they would be more than happy to accommodate me. What's not to like about this place?"

"This place has a really modern vibe with great service. I got the butter-beer latte (holiday special) (toffee, caramel, Irish cream) it was very good. I also got a cranberry white chip cookie. It was also very good."

"This place is brand new, and very nice! In Belmont. Great selection of coffee from around the world. I had an espresso that the beans were from Vietnam. Great!"

"We came on a Saturday morning to try a new place. If you’re looking for a completely different feel from the South or any other typical coffee shop, this may be your place. The cashier at the front was kind but the ladies calling out names and giving you your coffee and food at the end of the bar area could have been more friendly. If you’re used to walking in, feeling comfortable, and having the kindest people serve and talk to you, this may not be your place. While beautiful, it has a very New York with retro chairs feeling to it which comes with a lack of southern hospitality. The Bagel was great and coffees were good, but I was never asked what kind of milk was okay (I don’t know if you are able to do that here, I was much too busy trying to scan over a menu while she was trying to take my order as we had never been there) and we didn’t get an extra shot of espresso in either of our drinks that we ordered and we kind of just felt out of place. There is a nice area out back where you can enjoy your coffee outside by the flower beds."
