The brand was first established in Cornelius, NC, during the winter of 2013 by founder Tony Vo and his wife Annie. The name originated from a conversation about the necessary mixture of water and coffee beans for the best taste. Waterbean Coffee was the first specialty coffee shop in the Lake Norman area to offer these specific brewing methods and a wide selection of espresso drinks. The company has since expanded to a total of 20 locations, including its own roastery and a distribution center for all stores. The founder's international background influences the menu options and store designs, contributing to a unique aspect of the space. The company maintains an international presence with a location in Da Nang, Vietnam, and operates with a focus on originality rather than following industry trends.
