Shannon
1 month agoIt’s rare to find a true coffee shop anywhere in the area that’s not corporate. I’ve known about Calm Waters for quite some time but finally made the trip. My experience was nothing less than fantastic! I want to send a genuine thank you to Jeremy, whom was not only exceptionally kind and welcoming, but someone who actually cares. All around great vibe. Great coffee. Great people. Can’t recommend this place enough!

1 month agoHad a delicious mocha cold brew that tasted like the best kinda chocolate milk with a almond croissant. Was walking around Bristol one morning and decided to try this place out after seeing good reviews. Atmosphere was great and the workers were super friendly! Definitely will be coming back… yum!

2 month agoI had a great experience here! I tried the pour over coffee; it was delicious. I also really vibed with the playlist - what a great mix of older and newer tunes!

2 month agoMy last experience, 6 months ago, I said hi to the barista and I was looked at with disdain and all other pleasantries were also ignored during my order. And they ground my coffee way too coarse leading me to have to throw out the bag. Today, throughout the order the barista was pleasant and helpful. And I really enjoy their cold brew. Hopefully this change carries forward. Unfortunately, bagged coffee prices still high compared to other roasters in the area.

2 month agoMy absolute favorite place to get a cup of coffee. Andrew, the owner, is an amazing guy! The coffee is great and each of the barista's definitely take their time in preparing each cup and you can see a lot of effort is placed behind making this place great. I come every time I'm in town!

3 month agoThis spot is my favorite coffee shop and I regularly trek down 40 mins to satisfy my bean buds. The owner and staff are very courteous. This is a def a top 3 spot (for the real coffee lovers) on the east coast.
