### 4/5 — Can’t customize bagel

*2026-07-12, version 5.4.18*

Loved the app until today. Can’t specify the type of bagel anymore when I get a sandwich. Please fix this.

### 2/5 — Location Services

*2024-08-11, version 5.3.13*

I don’t understand why I need to turn on Location Services to order. I feel uncomfortable doing that, especially since I’ve favorited my store. It’s not something required of other coffee shop apps. I should be able to select any store exclusive of my mapping to order. Please update this promptly. It strongly dissuades me from ordering.

### 3/5 — A bit clunky…

*2024-07-16, version 5.3.13*

Trying harder to shift away from Starbucks but am having some problems with this app. A big issue is that I can’t select different / larger sizes in most drinks or make adjustments. Please fix.

### 3/5 — Allergic to milk

*2023-11-01, version 5.3.2*

No option for oat milk.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2022-04-07, version 4.8.8*

Very easy to use app and very accommodating café staff and owners!

### 4/5 — Great coffee, easy to use app

*2022-02-28, version 4.8.7*

Coffee and service are great, just wish online ordering was a little more customizable. I don’t like my drinks super sweet but there’s no way to change the pumps of syrup or flavoring in a drink. If I order in person I usually ask for half sweet, but there’s no option to change online or place to add notes.

### 5/5 — Sweetest staff, so engaging

*2021-12-17, version 4.8.1*

Of course the quality and taste is outstanding. But these ladies 💕

### 5/5 — Great app - always improving

*2021-02-12, version 4.5.2*

So easy to place my orders and if I have questions I can email them and I get an answer right away!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-12-22*

Love this.

### 2/5 — Long on lboarding

*2020-12-20, version 4.3.6*

This is a coffee app. The onboarding experience is awful. I should not have to enter an activation code to creat an account to order coffee. Also I should not have to create an account period. Think about adding a continue as guest option. Think about the users needs... why should I order on the app opposed to ordering in person? Will this app enhance my experience buy shortening my wait time or would it be faster for me to just go in and order?

### 1/5 — No American Express?

*2025-05-11, version 5.4.12*

You don’t take American Express? Well, you just lost a lot of business for me.

### 1/5 — App stopped working on phone

*2024-01-28, version 5.3.3*

It might be a blessing in disguise since I'm saving money by not using the app, but it stopped working a while ago. Every time I try to view my order the app crashes.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2024-01-16*

App crashes after clicking view cart. Unable to complete a purchase.

### 1/5 — No activation emails

*2023-05-06, version 5.0.5*

App says account is already registered and it will send an activation code. It never does, even if you check spam folders.

### 1/5 — Don’t Receive Confirmation Code

*2023-04-21, version 5.0.5*

If you want to change your password and you use your phone number to receive the confirmation code, you don’t get the code.

### 1/5 — Cannot sign in

*2023-04-12, version 5.0.5*

Tried to create an account to order online. Does not work. Just crashes.

### 1/5 — Forced orders don’t allow edits

*2021-11-21, version 4.7.8*

Hope you like what you picked, making changes is hard once in the basket

### 1/5 — Account suddenly nonexistent??

*2021-01-11, version 4.5.0*

The app worked fine but since updating my user data is gone... it logged me out and says my account doesn’t exist when I try to login... even on the desktop I cannot login... 

please fix this issue because I can’t order or use my rewards now :(

### 1/5 — Unable to sign on or recover per since app update

*2020-12-23, version 4.5.0*

I’m a regular customer and user. Tried to open the app for the first time since your update which was identified as occurring 2 days ago. Tried to recover password using both the email and phone number associated with my Sweetwaters account. When I ordered in person and clicked the link in the text update I received regarding my order my phone number and email are recognized. But not in the app. 

I deleted the app. Downloaded it again. Same issue. I can no longer order ahead - which is needed in this current environment.

### 2/5 — Confusing app

*2026-08-09, version 5.4.18*

Most apps have you put in the discount code at the final payment page. Sweetwaters has you enter your promo code before ordering. If you pended your food order without having place a discount code ahead of time you will need to cancel your order so that you can place the discount code in first. This is confusing! I also tried to link my loyalty points on the app and I just got an error message that said Square loyalty. Idk what that means. Additionally, the drinks don’t really have a description on the app which is annoying if this is your first or second time order. I did not enjoy this app experience. If I order again it will be in person.

### 5/5 — Great coffee shop

*2024-04-20, version 5.3.6*

I love this coffee shop!! Fabulous staff and the coffee and food are always top notch!

### 5/5 — Best Hot Chocolate

*2024-01-21, version 5.3.3*

I enjoy a well made, excellent flavor in a hot chocolate drink. I’ve been to many of the baristas that provide this and without question Sweetwater’s is so much better than anywhere I’ve been in the  Chicagoland area. Also I think it’s worth saying that the attitude and level of service here exceeded all My expectations. The large coffee shops chains have lost to customer/client appreciation. Not at Sweetwater in Naperville.

*2023-10-23, version 5.3.2*

Ordering is as easy as it should be.

### 5/5 — Love

I love every drink I try here - the service is great , consistent, and this location is always quick, always delicious. My go to for coffee in Ann Arbor. My favorite drink is the Mint Julip!

### 5/5 — Top Quality

*2022-06-21, version 4.9.0*

Delicious drinks & snacks. Friendly & helpful team members. To me, they are the best of the best in Toms River, NJ.
