Our History
Sweetwater Coffeehouse has been a special place in the valley since it was founded by Eric and Anna Anderson in 1995. In 2009, Carolyn Hayes took ownership and continued to cultivate the welcoming environment the Andersons created.
​
Today, current owners Ben Dockins and Betsy Ledbetter are grateful for the opportunity to carry on the Sweetwater Coffeehouse legacy, continuing to serve only organic coffee from Thanksgiving Coffee Company. As local potters, Ben and Betsy also plan to invest more energy into expanding the handmade mugs, plates, and other items that have often been found at Sweetwater.

Locally Fueled
Above all else, we value our community. It's thanks to the wonderful folks of Sautee and our broader community that we've been able to keep our doors open for 29 years so far. We're looking forward to many more years of growing our community further and getting to serve you all!
