We stopped in for drinks on our way to the Folsom Outlets. It's easy to spot but located in a fairly busy parking lot. Inside is cute with a Hawaiian vibe. There's quite a bit of indoor seating along with tables outside. We ordered off their specialty menu. I got the Choco-Nami Cold Brew (cold brew with choco-nami cold foam and topped with Cocoa Puffs) and my daughter ordered the Sour Candy Matcha (Iced Matcha and Pink Lemonade with a Vanilla Soft Top). Choco-Nami Cold Brew - too much chocolate and not enough Cocoa Puffs! Sour Candy Matcha - they used regular lemonade instead of pink lemonade. Not very sour. read more

If you love a good beach themed coffee shop then this is your spot! Their coffee is soooo good and they have so many options. The guy who helped me at the counter was very helpful and knowledgeable even though he said he doesn't really drink coffee. Lol. Overall, very good coffee shop. read more

This place has a nice ambience and good service. I grabbed an oatmeal cream pie from their display and had a vanilla iced latte. The coffee tasted burnt and overly bitter. It didn't have quite enough ice to make it all cold. It was only cold where the ice layer was. The oatmeal cookie for the cream pie was so tough I could not tear a piece away. Biting through it felt like biting through one of those energy bars that tire your jaw to get through one bite. Definitely not the place for me. read more

Very nice staff. Cute decor. Loved the island inspired music. Had a croissant breakfast sandwich and house coffee. Both were really good and decent price. Just under $11 total. The coffee was from a pump carafe station. And it wasn't super hot, but that's how I like it. I know if I would've come with somebody else who likes it super hot they would've been a slightly disappointed by the temperature. I did get here just before noon so I'm sure the coffee might've been hotter earlier in the morning. Plenty of seating around this time of day and they provide Wi-Fi in the café. I would like to takeoff half a star only because I do think the coffee could've been warmer and also the temperature of the room was rather warm. Another customer even mentioned it when he walked in. On one hand, I'm grateful that I wasn't getting frozen like some coffee shops, but on the other hand halfway through my coffee, I felt myself sweating a little bit. However, I did not mention to anyone that my coffee was a little lukewarm and although a different customer mentioned it was a bit warm in the coffee shop. I didn't mention it. Hopefully it's not like that once we get to 100°. I would definitely come back here. read more

I'm always interested in trying new coffee shops and Hawaiian themed coffee shops are definitely my jam. I'm not a big fan of the Kona blend game cause it's kinda scammy but they had a hot brew sample of Kona blend that was decent. They have all the flavors for Italian sodas and that's what caught my attention. I ordered a strawberry soda and it was so good!! Creamy sweet and carbonated goodness! Really nice touch on a hot day. My lovely lady ordered a flavored latte and it was delicious! Nice sweetness and decent coffee flavor. Overall, this is an excellent coffee shop with tons of options for everyone to enjoy. read more

Im a huge coffee person, and finding this place near my internship is a win. Coffee is delicious and well crafted. I usually order iced lattes or macchiatos and it's well portioned. Not too milky or sweet! The coffee has a nice fruity flavor. Yum! read more

My husband and I ate at the ramen place across the parking lot & I love trying new coffee shops so we decided to stop in here before continuing our drive home. I ordered an iced macadamia nut latte. It's not on the menu, but it was a seasonal drink I saw on yelp and when I asked about it the lady said she could still make it because they had the syrup available. After my first sip, I tasted the burnt/bitterness of the coffee. I asked for more pumps of syrup in case that's what the issue was.. it wasn't. Unfortunately I couldn't finish the drink. read more

Staff were kind and helpful! The place was a vibe! They had board games to play, and the drinks were great!

Big Wave Coffeehouse is an absolute gem in Folsom! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a beautifully designed space that feels both cozy and stylish. The vibes are incredible--it's the kind of place where you can relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done while enjoying a great cup of coffee. They offer a fantastic selection of pastries and snacks, all fresh and delicious. Even though I ordered something simple--a latte--it was made to perfection. The flavor, temperature, and presentation were spot on. You can tell they take pride in what they do. The seating area is spacious and comfortable, making it easy to stay awhile and enjoy the experience. What really stood out, though, was the barista. Friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about their craft, they made the visit even better. If you're looking for a great coffee shop in Folsom with amazing drinks, tasty treats, and a welcoming atmosphere, Big Wave Coffeehouse is definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be back! read more

We came here before we headed home to the bay one morning, believe it was the day after 4th of July. I decided to get one of their coffee smoothies that is similar to starbuck's javachip. When I paid I was shocked to see it being close to $10. I also ordered a hot coffee, forgot which one, for my husband which had less sugar (forgot what alternative we used but it wasn't full sugar/cream). The drinks came out fairly quickly. To be honest, the coffee smoothie was OK. It tasted really sweet and didn't have much of a coffee taste. I was surprised it cost quite a bit for something that didn't really taste to my liking. Personal preference. The workers were friendly and parkin was ample. My husband thought his coffee tasted a little funny with the less sugar. Enough caffeine for us to get through the drive home to the bay! read more

Friend & I decided to go shopping in Folsom this morning but needed some caffeine, did a quick search and found this gem of a coffee house! There's plenty of parking outside which is always a plus for me and the inside was beautifully decorated. I am so glad we came here because our drinks were delicious and the service was not only fast but also super friendly. I wish I got the name of the girl who took our order because she was super nice and helped us pick out our drinks! My friend got the Tropicali soda which she loved and I got a cold brew coffee with brown sugar mixed in and a hazelnut soft foam. Literally the best drink I ever had! Will definitely return when I'm in the area - 5/5! read more

I've stopped into Big Wave Coffeehouse many times now and I've been trying to order something new every time. There's plenty of parking available in the lot and they have a few outdoor seats as well as very comfortable and welcoming indoor seating. I've enjoyed their coffee drinks as well as the sodas and I love adding the cream on top of the sodas. If you don't know what to order the staff members can let you know about some favorites or some new combinations they've been working on. They're working on expanding their food options and I'll keep stopping in to see what's new. Check their Instagram for special events and activities as well. They often bring other businesses in for activities and cultural highlights which is really cool. read more

Big Wave Coffee House is easily a 5-star spot for me. I used to come here every day last year, and it always felt like a second home. The coffee and food are consistently great, the staff is welcoming, and the ambience is calm, cozy, and perfect for studying or just relaxing. It's the kind of place you miss once you stop going, and I'll always have a soft spot for it. read more

Refreshing beverages served with Aloha [Folsom CA] Came back a second time on a Saturday afternoon. This time the coffeehouse was full, unlike during our first visit at the Yelp event. It was a triple digit weekend so I ordered something refreshing and got a strawberry smoothie with whipped cream. I sat out in their outdoor seating, nice and shaded and currently enjoying the 85° weather with a slight breeze. Service was fast and friendly, just like how it was at my first experience from the wife owner during our Yelp event. Cute interior with hints of tropical decor. The long table is perfect for a group while they also have two-seater tables and a comfy sofa-seating on one corner. The wall mural with a huge wave is perfect for iG photos. Big Wave Coffeehouse is located in the Willow Creek Plaza in Folsom, close to the Folsom Outlets and proximity to many businesses. Parking is plentiful. Review #3088 read more

I loved my Mocha Java Rush with oat milk. The XL is truly extra large. Next time, I think I would order just a Medium. I also loved my $6 English Muffin Sandwich with Bacon. You could also choose Sausage, instead of Bacon. This is a super yummy sandwich for breakfast. No ketchup, but you can choose from 4 Creason hot sauces: Datil, Cayenne, Jalapeno, and Habanero. The Jalapeno hot sauce was tasty. Hot sauces are available for purchase for $10. This supports the Donovan Creason Memorial, which raises money for local Sacramento children's charities: http://www.creasonmemorial.org/ I chatted with the lovely owner, Mindy. The coffeehouse's theme is Hawaiian because her husband is from Hawaii. They visit Hawaii annually to see family. She recently returned from Kauai, hand packing a few bags of premium 100% Kauai Peaberry coffee to sell to her customers requesting it. She says she's not even making a profit from it. How very sweet and thoughtful of her! A peaberry is a smaller bean than a typical coffee bean. At the end of the day, she let me have a taste of it...so smooth! I also learned that for a coffee to be labeled Kona coffee, it only has to contain a minimum of 10% Kona coffee beans. Mindy is from the state of Washington. Her goal is to create a coffeehouse similar to those found in Washington, which offer ambiance, food, and a huge drink menu, including energy drinks and drinks other than coffee. I like the Hawaiian decor and chill vibe of Big Wave Coffeehouse. Hawaiian music playing in the background. Free wi-fi. Big Wave Coffeehouse is conveniently located near the Folsom Premium Outlets. You can pre-order online. Open every day from 6 AM to 4 PM. read more

I went in around 9:30 am in the morning and was served immediately. The service was friendly & fast. The cafe looks cozy & I can see myself do some work there. However, when I tried to connect to their free wifi, it just won't let me (despite entering the correct password provided). - Iced Tuxedo: good coffee. It had a good balance of coffee and white chocolate. It wasn't too sweet and I could still tasted the espresso. - Strawberry guava turnover: just ok. The filling was not too sweet but the pastry was a bit soggy & not flakey read more

This is far from your standard Starbucks coffee shop! Whenever I'm in Folsom, I'll be sure to stop by. It's located across from Mel's Diner and has plenty of parking. Some parking spots offer plenty of shade. I was lucky to find a spot right up front. I noticed lots of Hawaiian inspired decor. They even have a Hawaiian word of the day! The workers were friendly and helpful here! There's plenty of coffee, sodas, red-bull infused drinks; along with desserts and small bites to choose from. I tried what I believe was a strawberry coconut drink. This was recommended from a worker and it was just what I needed. I noticed some games like tic-tac-toe and connect 4 on tables. They even had newspapers! If you needed to get some work done, there are plenty of seats and wifi to help with that. This was exactly what I needed on a hot summer day and I'll be sure to come back and experiment with the menu!! read more

This coffeehouse is a whole Big Wave vibe! I love how big this place is. It's eye catching how tall it is and every time I drive on Blue Ravine Rd, I've seen it and wanted to try it. I saw this coffee shop on Good Day Sacramento when Julissa Ortiz went to visit and support this great business. I love the transformation from Cooper Coffeehouse to Big Wave Coffeehouse. I want to go back to try breakfast sandwiches and Ono drinks. When I did go, I tried the iced matcha which was very sweet so if you like sweet and matcha, you'll love this! I also had a guava strawberry pastry and I highly recommend this. I love how the barista informed me ahead of time of the matcha being sweet. These baristas know exactly what they are doing and I appreciate them informing customers of their products! Parking is very easy as there is a parking lot right outside the shop. They offer inside and outdoor seating which is nice. I also LOVE the decor and artwork inside. This vibe makes me feel like I'm in Hawaii and we can all use more aloha in Sactown. read more

Hubs and I are huge coffee snobs and we both were disappointed in our very first visit today. Service is fine, the barista was quick to take our order. I ordered a small half sweet lavender and white chocolate latte, and he ordered a medium half sweet iced caramel latte. The expresso was bitter on both of our drinks and tasted really watered down like they poured the shots directly over the ice. The amount of ice in our drinks were so little and our drinks came out warm, one stir and all of my ice completely melted. I did not finish even a third of my small latte :/. They use Torani syrups which I'm not a big fan of, but there are a plethora of flavors to choose from if that's what you're into. It's a pass for me. The lobby is cute though and they had Hawaiian music playing to bring the place together. read more

Pros: delicious drinks and desserts, friendly staff, and a great spot to hangout, work, meet up with friends, etc. Cons: this is the only location and it's in Folsom, which is far from me ): I tried the butterfinger blended mocha and it was good. The flavor was on point and it was refreshing to drink on a hot day. I also tried the house made creme brulee bar dessert. I like that there's a variety of unique desserts that you can't get just anywhere and it was delicious - not too sweet. I'd definitely recommend this coffee shop and would come back to try other items when I'm in the area again. read more

Entering the place, it feels like I am really at the beach. I love the interior design and the layout. I can tell it was a family ran business speaking to the cashier.

If you are looking for a place to cool off I highly recommend trying their ono sodas or redbull fusions. You will not be disappointed. read more

It's good for a chat, friend hang out and even a little date. If you like sweets get your drinks sweeter. Food; 2/3 Stars, I had a Sausage, Egg, and Cheese bagel with a Sweater Weather drink to wash it down. The bagel was perfect, rich flavors and soft crunchy bread. The coffee itself was a bit of a disappointment. The description says hints of tart blackberry, shortbread, and cinnamon but it really just tastes like a cinnamon latte. Ambiance; 1/1 Stars, it's a nice place to do work or hang out and it's very inviting. Big on the green and blues here. Service; 1/1 Stars, not overly focused on service here. They focus more on getting your drinks and food out here so it balances itself out for me. Notes; Get coffee extra sweeter if you like sweets; They have tables for work; They have wifi; They use Torani syrups read more

Confessions from a coffee drinker...I typically go to another establishment for my caffeine goodness, but at the suggestion of a friend, we went here. We am so glad we did. A new variety of beverages to think about and try, super friendly staff, cute decor, plenty of seating, as well as terrific prices and drinks that are as pretty as they are flavorful. If you have not tried Big Wave Coffee House, I hope you do and soon. Thankfully this is close to my work, so I know I will return and in addition to a chai tea latte, I will try one of their assortment of treats! read more

Stopped in for an iced latte. My usual go to drink. This was a clear disappointment! Very watery and bitter. Had to throw it away. Makes me so mad that coffeehouses can't make a simple espresso drink! The employee was very nice though. read more

Usually really good and they have fun seasonal drinks. Sometimes the espresso tastes burnt or like the machine needs to be cleaned better which happened to me on Sunday. Disappointing especially when it happens in the morning and you're in a rush to get out. read more

Big Wave Coffeehouse is a coffee shop with friendly employees, and the drinks here are delicious. You can see the storefronts on the street easily when you are driving on the road.

My first visit here was for an event organized by Yelp! I return regularly and have the rewards connected to my phone, so I get a notification every time I earn points. Free stuff is for me! My daughter loves the chocolate chip blended drink, and I love a caramel latte. The decor is modern and beautiful. There is a little retail area for souvenirs as well as coffee beans to purchase and free grinds to take home for your garden! The owners are usually around to chat with. The coffee has a unique flavor that you will come to love, it's addicting and it's not the caffeine since I get decaf! I will venture out soon and try some other flavors. The drinks come out pretty quickly. I'm not sure if you can order ahead, I'll have to try it sometime, but I prefer to sit for a bit. It's really a beautiful shop. read more

I've driven by here a few times but had no idea they have a Hawaiian inspired menu, not to mention they sell Kalani Kakes baked goods here! I highly recommend you check out their Instagram before coming in, so you can get some ideas for drinks that aren't necessarily on the standard menu. That's how I decided to try their matcha latte with ube cold foam, and it was delicious! The matcha latte itself was mixed so well and not a speck of matcha powder in sight. The ube cold foam was light and fluffy and you could still taste it through the matcha flavor. And not to mention it was a pretty looking drink! I was super tempted to order a second drink but decided to save it for next time. I want to try their Hawaiian Ono cream sodas! I had a guava muffin with my drink and it was filled generously with guava jam. Kalani Kakes is the perfect small business bakery for this shop because they focus on a lot of Hawaiian island flavors. Service was great, they were super friendly to us and other customers coming through. They would walk our drinks and food over to us whenever something was ready too. There is plenty of seating inside and outside to enjoy your morning coffee. They even have a cute bookshelf of kids books that our son enjoyed during our stay! Can't wait to come back! read more

First time coming here and they had plenty of options for drinks ! The coffee strong and good! Definitely will be coming back. Only con would be that the wifi wasn't that great, planned on getting work done here but had to leave due to the wifi. Maybe it was just a bad day for the wifi lol. Also for the price of their small coffee, you would literally Get half the drink at Starbucks. Definitely worth it. read more

Big Wave Coffeehouse - Caramel machiatto - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Folsom, California

One of my favorite coffee spots in Folsom :) Parking is easy as they are located within a shopping plaza with a large parking lot. I'm sure it can get busy during peak weekend hours but I usually find parking right away. There is plenty of seated inside with some high counters, smaller and large tables, and some couches with a coffee table as well as small outdoor seating area. I've come here twice with another mom and her baby as they are very family friendly and able to fit two strollers without getting in the way if you sit sat at the couches or outside). Without a stroller, it's easier to sit anywhere inside without interfering with the line or people waiting for their drinks. We love the family friendly and chill atmosphere/vibe. Service was always quick and friendly. The coffee and drinks are consistently quick, fresh, and yummy. I usually opt for just drip or black coffee and my husband usually orders something "fancier" or sweet. We are always satisfied with our orders. read more

I was hoping to like Big Wave Coffeehouse because it's so close to me but I was left unsatisfied. I ordered an iced Sugar Free Vanilla Latte when I went and it did not taste good. I was so unhappy I was unable to finish my drink. My husband ordered a coffee with banana but it tasted really artificial. I'm willing to give it another shot in the future. read more

Big Wave Coffeehouse has a great selection of fairly priced beverages and food served with aloha. Parking is easy to find in the shopping center they're located in. Indoor and outdoor seating is pretty plentiful. They have a welcoming environment with board games such as Connect 4, children's books, and newspapers. They accept cards, cash, and contactless payment. They serve coffee, blended espresso drinks, tea, Gatorade, Red Bull, assorted bottled beverages, and sodas (think Hawaiian themed Dutch Bros. style). I'm not really a coffee junkie so I love their sodas. Occasionally, I'll pick up an espresso based drink when I'm exhausted, and they never disappoint. Sometimes, I'll create my own, and others, I'll grab one of their signature drinks. For food, they have everything from bagels to breakfast burritos, brownies, oatmeal, scones, and yogurt. I love their banana brown sugar muffin. They also sell a variety of local art for reasonable prices. Service is always prompt and with a smile. We're in the area once a week several months out of the year, so we always make it a point to drop by. My wife and daughters love the inviting and friendly environment and peaceful atmosphere. read more
