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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!

Stopped by here during our walk around ocean beach and after grabbing lunch. Staff welcomed us as we walked in, and were happy to help. I ordered an americano but the set up is really cute and they sell affordable artwork from local artists. I love that the spot builds community. Thank you !

Though we didn't try any food, it looked really good My daughter and I tried two totally different drinks but both of them were delicious I had the dirty hippie.... It was a dirty chai with an extra shot which I added, and made with hemp milk. My daughter had a fruity lemonade and it was the perfect combination of tart and sweet. The service was really amazing when we first ordered then we got our drinks and went outside to sit When we came back in to get the key to use the restroom the two younger girls working weren't friendly at all but maybe they were having a bad day read more

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. read more

I popped in to grab some gelato before walking around the area! I have to admit I expected there to be more ice cream options around Ocean Beach but I was satisfied with Brew Wave. It seems like the gelato is a fairly new addition and they have a small selection of flavors. I ordered a small scoop of the cookies and cream and it was delicious! Definitely a little small for the price but it satisfied my craving! read more

Brew Wave has quickly become one of my fave coffee shops in San Diego! I am a customer of the Ocean Beach Business Center down the hall so initially I stopped in for a coffee out of locational convenience (yes, ok, the delicious coffee smells lured me in), but now I buy coffee here because I genuinely love it. They have tons of great options on the menu, but my go-to is a vanilla latte and they make a really good one. It's not too sweet and the temp is always perfect (I like 'em hot). Hungry? They got food options as well as lots of baked goods and smoothies. And the staff is always really friendly (not the snooty kind you can get at some of those other coffee shops...). Coffee shops are a dime a dozen in SD, but if you're looking for friendly service and a great cup, don't skip out on Brew Wave! read more

Good mint iced mint tea! Not particularly Moroccan or unique, but it gets the job done. Of course it's a coffee shop so I'm not docking a star for the bevs. While the service was great, I wish that Brew Wave was open until at least 7pm. Ocean Beach gets most of its traffic after 5pm for the sunset, and that's usually when I'm around the area trying to grab a drink. read more

I live a block away and was so excited when Brew Wave opened and I met the kind, friendly owner Robert. There are so many coffee places in OB to choose from, but Robert and his staff set themselves apart with very high quality coffees and teas, muffins, croissants and other delightful morning treats. The staff is always warm and welcoming and I never leave disappointed, whether I get a hot or iced coffee, a bagel or a banana nut muffin, or an awesome salted caramel gelato. Always clean, bright and cheerful. Brew Wave is a wonderful little treasure on Newport Ave and I cannot recommend it highly enough! read more

Stopped in today to for the first time and had a very negative experience. I wanted to choose a shop I had never been to before, in support of local business, but I can't say I will ever been coming back. The counter was full when I arrived so I wanted to give it a chance to die down. Plugged my phone into the wall and was finishing up typing a message when I was rudely confronted by a shop employee. She asked if I purchased anything and I let her know that I would. She must have not seem satisfied with that answer because she then proceeded to instruct me to unplug my phone and rudely told me I couldn't just come in and sit. I didn't realize I had to be rushed to make a selection. It's a coffee shop? I've never received this type of treatment before and I am disappointed in this employees poor customer service. I had headphones and yoga clothes on. Clean normal young woman. Clearly not homeless. I politely ordered a tea and continued to wait for my friend, but we will not be staying or giving this establishment more money. I hope this employee feels silly for harassing customers. This place looks like it could use customers, if only they didn't scare them away. read more

The big unknown bonus is that you get a free Cole-slaw condiment to compliment the pastrami sandwich, just ask!

Wish I got it cold because you are prone to a lot of crumbs with the toasted bread. It's like how bolilo bread always ends up with crumbs. Heavier on the mortadella than the salami. Dressing was pretty plain. It was a solid Italian sandwich but I think their meatball sandwich is probably better. That's what a lot of people were ordering. Service was fast. You order thru a window. Better to order ahead and just take it to go. They have limited outdoor seating. Good spot for a quick bite to eat in the neighborhood. Very casual. Street parking so it can be a hit or miss with how easy parking can be. There's a designated 15 min parking right in front of it if you ordered ahead.

Benedict's

The ordering process was unique: they had several placard type menus available and we ordered from a standalone kiosk. My wife, rarely hungry in the morning, got a mocha. Besides, we had a big lunch planned. I ordered the BAT Benedict, which had bacon, avocado and tomato on an English muffin with perfectly cooked poached eggs, all smothered in hollandaise sauce. It all came to $27.42. The restaurant , a small streamline trailer, had only outdoor seating on their deck, with about 10 tables. There was a ramp to get onto the deck. Our order came in about eight minutes. The Benedict came with crispy potatoes and an excellent red salsa plus guac. They had plastic ware that actually held up to cutting through crispy, thick bacon, packets of salt/pepper, napkins and such available. I would definitely eat there again but, sadly we are leaving tomorrow.

It would be okay and much more enjoyable if you didn't have to sit out in the blazing sun, so I am not sure why they don't bother with umbrellas. It is a very impersonable experience from beginning to end. Ordering is done at the single kiosk only. Then you hope to be able to hear your order number be called from the Airstream trailer where all the cooking is done. The concept is cute. The menu consists of only breakfast items such as omelettes, avocado toast, benedicts, and breakfast sandwiches. Well prices on the high side considering the setup here, portions are quite large. You may consider sharing a plate if you are not coming here starving. Service can be a hit or miss depending on how many staff members are working when you have your order placed. In the case of ours, for a good period of time there was only one cook and so it was quite a wait. But soon after, another two team members came back from out of nowhere. So perhaps customers who ordered after us were served more quickly. Benedict's located in the front parking lot of a local motel. So if you are staying here, it can be quite convenient. Otherwise, like mentioned earlier, depending on the weather it may not be very relaxing.

Before driving over, I even called the store to make sure they had it. To my surprise, someone actually answered, confirmed they had one slice left, and even offered to hold it for me.

To make matters worse, they claimed they don't even hold desserts for customers. It wasn't just disappointing--it was incredibly frustrating. If they couldn't hold it, I would have understood. But giving me false hope and having me rush over for nothing completely ruined the experience. What was supposed to be a small bright spot in my day turned into an even bigger disappointment. Unfortunately, this experience has left such a bad impression that I won't be returning. There are plenty of other bakeries in the area, and I'll be looking forward to trying those instead.

I was nervous about coming without a reservation, but my husband and I arrived early and were able to grab a spot at the bar no problem.

They were a great start! For entrees, I got the Japanese curry and my husband got the duck and waffle. The curry was so good! I loved the whipped egg on top. It was so light and fluffy.

I kept thinking a lemon or strawberry element would brighten it up nicely, and even a little salt could have made the flavors pop more. I feel like the texture of the dip should have leaned a bit more foamy for easier dipping. Duck Confit The duck was incredibly tender with crispy skin. I also loved the chili oil and felt it added such a nice kick. The passion fruit sauce was interesting and creative, but a bit too strong for my taste and overpowered the dish a little. I actually think a simple maple syrup would've worked better here. The waffle itself was decent, though I wish it had been crispier and had a bit more flavor on its own. Curry Hamburger The egg was light and nicely cooked. The curry leaned pretty salty, but it was smooth and flavorful. I really enjoyed the rice - it had a smoky, earthy flavor from the mushrooms that added a lot of depth. The hamburger patty helped balance out the saltiness well
