Lovely little coffee shop in the heart of Poway! I happened upon this place when I Yelped "Matcha in Poway" and it was at the top of the list. Those that know me, know that I am a matcha addict and am always on the hunt to try new and exciting flavors as well as supporting new-ish businesses. Since I don't drink coffee anymore, it seemed to be a great option for my favorite beverage of choice. Before I drove over there, I perused the menu and was debating on if I should get the Blue Ocean or Biscoff...I decided on the Biscoff because I love those cookies. Surprisingly, the drink itself is not overly sweet, despite what others have described, which I appreciated. It is lined with crushed cookies and also crumbled on top. It is topped with whipped cream and had a nice, overall flavor. Not bitter like some matchas and just had a great mouth feel, if that makes any sense. Drinks are a bit pricey but I believe it more than makes up in quality. I only go to Starbucks for my matchas when I have no choice, btw, LOL! So spending a little extra is no issue for me if the end product is satisfying. The cafe itself is so pretty inside...small but with ample seating. Definitely a great little spot to catch up with friends or grab some caffeine with your favorite co-workers. Service is great as well. Parking is decent as it shares a lot with a few other businesses but it can get a touch busy during lunchtime. I was going to stay and lounge for a bit but I had to rush back to work for a meeting....boooo. Perfect little gem of a cafe when you are looking for your next coffee or matcha fix! read more

Just a great bright little addition, training new people seams to go well, nice little outside to sit, even some live music, what about the coffee you say.... I am particularly hooked on the Chocolate Orange iced version, not to sweet and not overpowering, a refreshing recommendation The friendly service is nice these days, I'm spending my hard earned dollars so it's nice to be treated as a welcome friend, keep it up!! read more

This coffee shop has some cool options if you're looking for something different than your standard coffee & latte options. I opted for the Biscoff latte and it came with biscoff cookie butter lined around the inside of the cup with biscoff crumble on top. Definitely a good choice if you're looking to indulged. read more

Really cute place. I'm a little bit of a basic coffee snob. I usually only get a drip coffee but didn't this time because I saw they had a cookie butter latte. That is the one weakness I have for fufu coffees. It was very good. Not quite as sweet as I normally have it from Coffee Bean, and it wasn't quite as hot as it should be. But that's all no big deal. Coffee is so subjective and how people like it. So if I get it again I'll ask for a little hotter and with a little bit more cookie butter flavor. I'm excited to try the regular drip coffee next time as that is my normal go to! Super, super nice people! read more

I stopped by here on a weekend morning while grabbing groceries. The shop itself is small but very cozy. I got a tiramisu latte. The coffee itself was fine, but I didn't get a really strong tiramisu flavor from the drink. Perhaps I should have asked for it hot and that may have made it taste more tiramisu-like? Overall, not bad but not what I was expecting in my latte. They do have these really cute heart shaped straws and the service is friendly. There is a lot of free parking in the plaza so it makes things easier. read more

I had the mango matcha a couple weeks ago. It was alright. I think if I've gotten it with whole milk, it would have tasted better than what it was. Definitely have to try a different matcha drink next time. Today, I had the mocha muscle. Protein drink, a little pricey but it was definitely good. I would have it again. Service was great, ambience was cute. Not too loud which is nice. read more

This coffee shop is a gem!! The ambiance was amazing with the throw blankets and pillows. I loved my lavender latte and banana muffin, so yummy! The owners were so welcoming, and they handled our large group beautifully! The most adorable part was the crocheted coaster under my drink. I will absolutely go back if I'm ever in Poway again! read more

Absolutely loved this coffee shop! The salted caramel latte was perfectly balanced--smooth, rich, and not overly sweet. I paired it with a Danish pastry, and it was fresh, flaky, and delicious. Everything tasted amazing, and you can tell they put care into what they serve. Great atmosphere and excellent quality. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a wonderful coffee and pastry experience! read more

Coffee Wave is a gem! Even just doing a quick pickup, the experience was seamless - my drink was ready fast, exactly how I customized it, and tasted amazing. The portion size was generous for the price, which felt totally reasonable. I tried the matcha and it was seriously one of the best I've had - smooth, flavorful, and not overly sweet. Definitely impressed for a first visit. I'll absolutely be back to try more from their menu! read more

I want to say this small business coffee shop really is top notch. The interior and vibe is lovely, presentation when dining in, is 10/10. My friend discovered this place and it's been our go-to when in the area! Their espresso is tasty, I ordered a pebble crunch latte and its was chef's kiss! I've had their banana latte twice and love it, pastries are yummy. The service is welcoming and friendly, it feels personal rather than "corporate". Wait time has never been long in my experiences. Really recommend hitting this spot up, support small business. I must emphasize that their espresso really rocks, they definitely have ratios down with each pull! read more

Cozy little cafe with good coffee! I stumbled upon this cafe while waiting for my car to be serviced across the street, and I really enjoyed my time here! I ordered an iced hazelnut latte with oat milk (they have plenty of alternative milk options), and the coffee flavor was nice and strong. The staff were attentive and nice, and service was very fast. The seating arrangement is quite cozy and comfortable, and I spent about an hour reading here. The restroom was clean (big thing for me), but I do wish there were seat covers available. Overall, I liked this cafe and will return! read more

5-Star Review: The Wave ​I am so glad to finally have a spot like this in Poway! This new coffee shop is exactly what the neighborhood needed. ​The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect place to catch up on some work or meet with a friend. I tried their signature latte, and the espresso was incredibly smooth--clearly, they are using high-quality beans and have their brewing process down to a science. ​What stood out: ​The Service: The staff was incredibly friendly and gave great recommendations. ​The Vibe: Clean, modern aesthetic with plenty of comfortable seating. ​The Pastries: They have a selection of fresh treats that pair perfectly with the coffee. ​It's great to see a local business hitting it out of the park right from the start. If you're in the area and looking for your new caffeine fix, definitely give this place a try! read more

New coffee shop in Poway. I really liked it - their cortado is bomb!!! go try it for yourself ... I also enjoyed an apple turnover a lot and their almond croissant )) the place is very cute and cozy, with unique touches in presentation of their drinks - check out their little handmade cutest placemats for coffee mugs!! And the service was good too - laid back and relaxing. The owner mentioned they have live music on Saturday mornings. I plan to go check it out. I highly recommend you try it too read more

Wonderful new coffee shop! Staff is very friendly and the ambiance is great. The music playing was pleasant and not overbearing. While I was there, the staff found a ring that had fallen in the tip jar and found the owner to return it, which I thought was very kind and thoughtful. They also serve you your drink if you are sitting down, and they remember their regulars. There is an open bathroom that was very clean, a water station, and multiple available wall outlets, plus seating areas both in and outside. There are so many syrup flavors, as well as dairy free options, and my latte was really good! I was so excited to try a unique flavor and loved it. I did not try a pastry but they have plenty available. 100% recommend! read more

Hard to recommend this place when a simple ordered americano tastes like burnt toasted coffee bean over ice water. I'm no barista but at home I can pull an espresso shot with my amateur machine and manual hand grinder that tastes 10x better than the $5 plus tax drink I recently ordered from here. Maybe there other drinks are better but the baristas or beans need to change here because the americano was just plain awful. Ambiance overall was nice and the service was good too but the actual coffee yikes look elsewhere if you want a decently pulled shot of espresso. read more
