from Google & Yelp"As I was searching for a spot to read this morning I happened on Water Bearer Coffee in the warehouse district of Traverse City. And I'm glad I did! I ordered the egg and havarti sandwich on wheat; but you can also get it on a Bubbies Bagel or white bread as well. I also had the Carmel Latte. I asked if it was sweet and was encouraged to let the barista know how sweet I wanted it-- on a scale of 1-10 in sweetness I like the 11. The atmosphere was pure gold. From the mural on the wall to the owners sweet personality, I give this place a 10/10. I fully enjoyed the instrumental music and quiet chatter from happy guests. Support local community and check out WBC!"
"This was a great coffee shop! I enjoyed the light chatter and “community” this coffee shop brings in and represents. 🌈 I was pleasantly surprised that the yogurt parfait was made with whole milk plain Greek yogurt (yes I ask to see the ingredients when I stop at a coffee shop 😂). If I were to change anything it would be having fresh berries instead of the homemade strawberry compote, but I’m more health conscious than most, and prefer it less sweet and more natural. I also ordered an Americana with a splash of cream. Really nice smooth coffee! Highly recommend. The baristas were friendly and entertaining!"
"Cute spot to sit in, but the prices are absurd - the parfait was $10, was mostly granola, and was served in a 12oz take away cup… it was also not all that good. Worth $5… maybe. Kids both wanted juice, so they both got a $9 orange juice. Also in a 12oz takeaway cup. So, with tax, about $35 for a yogurt and 2 juices. So, cute… but not worth the venture off the path, or the food for the price."
"I really wish they were open later than 2! This place is top notch and provides an amazing, inspiring, cozy atmosphere for writing. I usually get decent work done here, especially with the loads of tasty caffeine and food items. I wish I'd snapped a pic of the egg sandwich I had here last week. It was so good, I keep thinking about it and will have to go grab another soon. They have some excellent desserts as well!"
"I think you’re my favorite! Iced latte with brown sugar cinnamon cold foam, you won’t regret it. Consistent and great shots of espresso, quick service, great roast on their beans, all around quality drinks. I would say to those who visit to be prepared for their ordering model. They don’t always have someone posted at the register. They take a few orders, make some drinks and then come back to take more orders. I love when it’s warm outside and they open the windows fully, it’s so nice. Thanks for being an inclusive, delish spot in our town ❤️"
"Great place to have coffee and tea on the weekend! Lots of options and in a cool building."
