    Stopped by on mother's day to pickup a couple of lattes. The man working ask to take my order. I must have arrived right at the perfect time. Soon everyone came walking in. He apologized and said it would take a few minutes. The coffee came out just perfect. Not to hot ,and a nice blend of expresso to milk. The place is small but there seemed to be plenty of seating. Plenty of parking also.

    Biscoff matcha

    Cute cozy cafe and service was quick. I ordered the biscoff matcha but unfortunately I didn't enjoy it. It was really sweet and the biscoff flavor tasted a bit off to me but it was strong and overpowering that I didn't taste any matcha.

    Cute coffee spot with great coffee and wonderful service. We went with an iced hazelnut (deliciously nutty) and the iced biscoff matcha lattes - incredible! Highly recommend both and will be back to explore the menu.

    Loved it here! It was a great place to get some work done. The pastries were crispy and delicious. The coffee was well presented and yummy. The staff was nice and the vibe was very chill. They played great music too! Would definitely go back

    We came in for coffee but ended up trying something different - and I'm so glad we did! I have ordered a hot strawberry matcha latte and they made it perfectly. The matcha was delicious,and the service was wonderful. Such a great experience! Very cute and cozy place :-)

    This cute coffee shop is so nice, but it's so easy to miss in the parking lot. For starters there's so many Choices of coffees you can order! I ordered a Cinnamon latte with whole milk and it was so good. I fished the entire thing in a sitting, I didn't even get to take a picture LOL. Hope that says something. Service was great! I will be back.

    Pebble crunch latte and Salted Caramel latte
    Arianna M.

    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!

    Beautiful cookie butter latte with just that extra little touch of the doily. Love it!

    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!

    Cute little local coffee shop. Nice inside space, soft music and bright natural light. Kind baristas and yummy pastries. Tons of matcha options.

    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!

    Friendly staff, brought drinks to us with cute coasters. Cute drinks and lots of flavor options. The blue ocean matcha tastes like lucky charms. Small but nice cozy vibes.

    Great coffee, and both were excellent. The pastries are delicious, and the customer service is top-notch.

    I ordered a standard latte and thought it was pretty average. It's not terrible but not worth having again.

Ive brought friends here in the past and have always gotten positive feedback afterwards. Recently though, it feels like it's lost a little of its charm. The menu needs updating because with all the crossed out items on the board, it looks a little low end and like they're out of things. But they also always seem to be out of multiple items when I come these days. There's no food options any more most of the time, but the display cases remain. And seating... it feels like they got rid of 1-2 tables and the tables that were outside. There never seems to be enough seating so it's both cramped while also empty looking now. They have these side benches to sit on, but no one ever uses them because they're not super comfortable or good to chat with anyone with. Also, the bathroom. It's usually open, but twice now Ive been in there where there's zero toilet paper or the paper towel dispenser is out, but someone has just put a roll on top to tear at your own will. I loved this place so I hate saying more negative than good. The drinks remain amazing, but for a spot that is so popular, it's losing some of its own charm.

I stopped in on a rainy Wednesday afternoon and had a problem with my online order. They immediately helped me out and even gave me a free sticker. The friendliness in resolving my issue and welcoming and positive vibe was so refreshing.

Ok on to the food and coffee: I ordered the ham and cheese croissant which was perfectly flaky, warm, and melty. My iced Americano was prepared deliciously with regular espresso and vanilla cold foam. It was not too sweet and the perfect pick me up. Thank you, Kadian and team, for a great experience today.

I pulled up to the drive through kiosk. I waited for someone to answer, still waiting.i finally started to pull up thinking the drive through wasn't open. As soon as I left, I could see the lady behind me pull up , I could here someone say can I take your order. So I pulled up again. Now there's a line. I finally get up to pick up my coffee. The girl hands me the first one,I grab it and it spills all over my hand. The lid wasn't on correct. Good thing the coffee was barely warm or it would have burned my hand. She hands me the second one. Same thing happens,lid not on tight. It spills in my truck. I looked and asked her for some napkins. She hands me some. No apologies or explanation. She just walked away.

    I came to Nova Boba on a mission to find the best Vietnamese coffee and cheese foam in San Diego,…read moreand this place absolutely delivered. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee with cheese foam and it instantly reminded me of Saigon Coffee in North Park. It has that same rich and bold flavor that true Vietnamese coffee lovers look for. The cheese foam here is my second favorite in the city, right behind Maiko Cafe in Mira Mesa, which says a lot because their foam is legendary. What makes Nova Boba my new number one spot is the simple fact that I can finally get both Vietnamese coffee and cheese foam in one drink without having to chase down a pop up at a farmers market. I was originally planning on heading to the market for that little booth that serves my favorite combo, but I am so glad I found Nova Boba instead. Now I can come here any time I want without depending on a weekend schedule. The shop itself is quiet, clean, and surprisingly inexpensive compared to many other boba places I have tried. It has a calm atmosphere that makes it easy to relax or catch up with a friend. The staff is friendly and the menu has so many options that I already know I will be back. Next time I am trying the strawberry matcha because it looked amazing. If you love Vietnamese coffee or cheese foam or you are just looking for a new spot that will not disappoint, I highly recommend stopping by Nova Boba. It is officially part of my rotation now. Service was quick and place was cute.

I'm so glad that I did. The jasmine milk tea was good and had good jasmine flavor. But the boba was delicious!! It was just the right amount of chew and sweetness. It was perfect!!
