You will find that amazing vibe in this area and Lightwave Coffee exemplifies a movement that was so much about optimism and love. Interior and exterior are amazing with much of the decoration being made from found objects. I loved all the old electronic and mechanical devices inside and loved the mishmash cups and plates that made it feel like you were eating in a friends kitchen. The food and coffee we got were abnormally high quality and we recommend the cookies and the basil ice lemonade. So good after a long day outdoors. Right next to it is a community farm that felt so welcoming and chill. Volunteers were weeding and cleaning on the weekend and it reminded me the very best of the game Stardew Valley. Right next to it is a concrete skatepark and a guy was shredding it when we went. So worth a stop for all these bonus quests! They also had a "pay what you want" little section of potted plants you can take away such as chilis, tomatoes, etc...

We had the bread pudding and the strawberry crisp. Both were worth coming back for. Also, we thoroughly enjoyed the live music by Jeremy Lipson. What a great guy - very personable, welcomed requests, and his voice and talent were beyond good. Needless to say, we had a wonderful evening and will definitely be going back there again and again. And no...we are not affiliated with this restaurant in any way. I am just stating an opinion!
