    Brew wave is a cute little OB coffee spot, it has limited seating, but it does execute some good coffee. They also sell coffee beans and get sandwiches and pastries in store. I went in on a busy Saturday morning and even though there was a little rush the barista's were efficient at taking our orders and just keeping the mellow vibe. The lattes and the food were good and we ordered the egg bacon and avocado bagel sandwich. Great place to grab some quality coffee and grub and just keep on moving. You could linger if you luck out on seats.

    This places is awesome!!! The couple that owns it is so nice, great customer service! They have a chess board and you get to play a move every time you buy something which is a nice touch. Drinks and food are delicious!

    Match in coffee cup with oat and lavender foam.

    Service amazing. Cute coffee shop by the beach. Matcha was delicious with lavender foam.

    The Açaí bowl was perfect and the service was lovely. Also got a green glow smoothie that was delicious. Would recommend, great little spot right on Newport with an outside view of the waves

    We were just walking by and I really wanted ice cream, and lo and behold, there was a sign that said they had gelato. When you ask the universe, it delivers! Friendly greeting when I walked in. After looking through the flavors, I settled on a caramel something and strawberry cheesecake....I can't remember what the first one was but I do remember the flavors! I was a happy 5-year-old! I like how there are tables down this hallway which offered shade. Cako loved the cheesecake. Very impressed with their gelato! Looking forward to summer and what they will offer! Cako Approves!

    Really good coffee and nice people! The cute little place is serene and kind of hidden inside a small shopping complex next to the Samesun Ocean Beach hostel. I had the 16 oz medium brew coffee $3.75 which is delicious and nutty. The place is also cozy and very welcoming.

    I stopped by Brew Wave coffee and really felt like Gelato, they have gelato to sell in their store. I tried their coffee before, it was very nice. And who knows their gelato is also amazing! I tried multiple flavors even though they don't have that much options,the staff is so patient and friendly to let me try as much as I want and the sample size is really generous. Finally I chose two flavors- strawberry cheesecake and cookie & cream, they are sooooo gooood! The flavor is bold, strong and intense, you are feeling like eating a real cheesecake, just the way I love. If you stopped by here, please give a try! It's very delicious.

    Got the Salted caramel latte and the gluten free everything bagel with egg and cheese. Super good food and great people to interact with inside. Great way to start the day! Also very dog friendly. Bring your pups along.

    Came to SD on a work trip from Tucson. My entire team had breakfast here every morning. The service is amazing. Food is so so good and always fresh. The staff is incredibly kind.

    Sweet small business in the heart of Ocean Beach! Stopped in this morning and spent almost 4 hours studying here - they also have free wifi but I found it was a little slow, it might have just been the day. All customers are greeted with a welcome and service is extremely kind. They also have a select menu of food as well as gelato for the warmer weather later in the day! I got a white mocha and it was a great balance of coffee and creaminess. The vibe is very coastal and I would definitely stop back in.

    Milky Way latte with pumpkin spice whipped cream
    Sierra H.

    This is the cutest coffee shop I ever did see! Nadine and Robert were so kind, helpful, and efficient. I got a vanilla frappè with oat milk and pumpkin spice whipped cream- Y E A H. Sooo good. We also got the bacon avocado toast, turkey and cheese croissant, and a muffin, which were all out of this world * in sweet drooling emoji here * If I lived in San Diego I'd be a regular at this place! 10/10, I can't say enough good things about Brew Wave!!

    Such a cute place! Not far from hodads this little coffee place has hand rolled teas! Gelato, avocado toast, and GELATO! MUST VISIT! Also, the bathroom key is whiskey.... A wisk and a key not sure if they meant to do that lol but so cute The owner was here when we arrived and he was so helpful and accommodating along with the girl at the counter. Great experience.

    Wow, what a discovery! Get the Harpoon sandwich if you like pastrami; this is a legit delicious…read moredeli inside the liquor store. Stopped there on the way back from the airport and didn't expect the sandwiches to be so effing good. So worth it. Pro tip: call in your order if you're coming right around lunch time otherwise be prepared to wait a good 20 mins for your sammy. A few seats outside if you want to enjoy it nice and fresh. Highly recommended!

    Absolute legend status -- Chris's Liquors & Deli in Ocean Beach…read moreIf you know, you KNOW. We've eaten here three times this week... and we've only been in town two days. That should tell you everything. The Harpoon -- pastrami piled high on an onion roll with extra horseradish -- is not just a sandwich, it's a spiritual experience. First bite hits like a freight train of flavor and suddenly all your life decisions make sense. Perfect salt, perfect heat, perfect stack. Whoever's back there building these things deserves a medal. This spot is pure OB energy -- fast, friendly, zero nonsense, and the kind of place where you walk in hungry and walk out plotting your next visit before you even hit the door. They don't just make sandwiches... they make addictions. As someone running BLING EM RIM REPAIR doing mobile wheel repair in Ocean Beach, I'm bouncing job to job all day fixing curb rash and keeping luxury wheels dialed -- and this is hands-down the fuel stop that keeps the engine running. If you see the wheel repair van outside, you already know I'm inside grabbing another Harpoon. Chris's Liquors & Deli -- you're dangerous in the best way possible. Keep slinging greatness. Bite them up, bro.
