Crema's Take

Roasting Water is a charming newer spot in Lakewood that's become something of a destination for beautifully designed drinks served in collectible bottles, from adorable panda cups to collaborative Rilakkuma designs that make Instagram-worthy keepsakes. Their specialty teas—particularly the Thai tea and creative matcha drinks—are genuinely delicious and reasonably priced, though you'll want to come with patience since the operation prioritizes online orders and waits can stretch toward an hour. The friendly staff and family-friendly vibe make it worth the visit, even if the cozy space means limited seating and menu visibility could use some improvement.

Be prepared to wait at the better part of an hour if you come here. We were told it would be 40-45 mins wait from ordering. The shop was not that busy so it seems as though they are prioritizing online orders and deliveries over customers that actually show up in person. Disappointing business practice. Will not return.

Average tea house, the most memorable part is the cups. Inside the shop, the menu is only at the checkout, wish it was larger or posted in another area. Can't see the menu until you are ordering and they seemed annoyed that we didn't know exactly what we wanted when we got to the front of the line, but had no clue what was offered until you made it to the front.

The servers were excellent. The drinks are delicious. The store is new. No place to sit inside. My drink order was taken correctly, but it was not made as the order. A small mistake, but still a mistake. I realized this mistake only after I left the store on the freeway, darn. Otherwise, it's pretty darn good.

drinks are really good and the bottles are adorable! the collaboration they happened to be doing was with rilakkuma and it was adorable! i find that the prices are good for a good drink plus the cute bottles :). aside from that, i went in on new years eve (pretty big crowd) and one of the workers seemed a bit impatient nonetheless it's still a really nice place

Good Thai tea with boba inside a cute panda bottle! The container that comes with the drink is pretty cute - I love the design. The Thai tea tasted good as well. The shop is pretty cute and has a lot of panda design which is cute and I like it. Definitely a place that I would come back!
