| - This visit was just OK. The SO and I came in to get some coffee and macarons. Waterbean is cute and spacious inside. Not much to look at outside. There's plenty of seating inside and out, and they even have a fireplace and a piano. Ample parking available.
After seeing macaron pictures on their Yelp page, we were very excited to indulge. We arrived after 2pm, parked, and went straight to the register as there was no line. Their menu offers baked treats, sandwiches (including banh mi, what!), snacks, wine, beer, and tea in addition to coffee.
I glanced at the macaron selection and list of flavors and made my decision. I wanted to try pistachio, salted caramel, coffee, and cookies and cream, but guess what...? They were out of all of that! So disappointing. The lady at the counter did apologize and said that they needed to update their list of flavors. So, I settled for chocolate coconut, cupcake, and creme brulee. I think they were over $2 a piece. We also ordered two iced lattes with almond milk at $3.75 each. One with salted caramel flavor and one with hazelnut. The lady at the counter handed me the macarons on a plate and the SO and I sat down on the couch by the fireplace.
A few minutes later, our coffee was ready at the counter to pick up. The coffee was bold and delicious. I tried to savor every sip. The macarons, on the otherhand, were blah. They were pretty, but fell short in flavor. They were tiny, too compared to what I'm used to eating in Atlanta.
Overall, we will return for the coffee and possibly the sandwiches. The SO will probably want to try the beer at some point as well.
