    Iced Peppermint Mocha
    Ana R.

    Service was quick, thankful that there was no one in the drive thru. Perhaps I am over reacting, but it wasn't minty enough. They do 1 and half of the syrup, I asked for the 2 full pumps and it still wasn't minty. It was a good iced mocha but that was not what I wanted.

    On the last trip to Corpus Christi, I wanted to try this coffee place out but didn't have time, so I said I would stop by the next time I was in town, which was earlier today, 8/7/24. My husband and I decided to get the riptide refresher, which was delicious. As much as I hate giving this place 3 stars, the customer service was terrible. Parking was a bit scarce, and customer service was horrible. The gentleman who helped us was not friendly or welcoming. I'm unsure if he was having a bad day or irritated that my husband and I took almost 5 minutes to review the menu, as it was our first visit, but he was not at all friendly or welcoming. As I waited for our drinks, I noticed they would call names as their drinks were ready, but when it came to mine, I watched the gentleman set our drinks on the counter and not say anything until I walked over and asked if it was the riptide. He responded, "Yeah." I replied back with a "thank you," but again, no response. However, there were two ladies working as well, and they were friendly and welcoming.

    For the coffee connoisseurs: this was the best coffee I've had in a WHILE. I opted for an iced honey bee after the super helpful barista shared with me that it's not overly sweet since that's my preference. The roast itself feels nutty and chocolately. I didn't spend time in the shop, but noted that there was a lot seating, with cozy seating, as well as study seating. WILL be returning!

    Great place to sit have a cup of coffee and be able to enjoy yourself or even a friendly conversation. Compared to many of the coffee shops I've been to in the area, the space has plenty of seating and seating for all types of customers, the casual coffee drinker at the bar, bar tops to sit and get stuff done or stand, comfortable cozy seats, and causal table seating with space to do work, homework, or hold a small meeting. My late and drip coffee both tasty and the barista did what she could to make a beautiful latte art even though she was walking it to me further away from the bar than me possibly her liking. She was so sweet and did what she could to let me get a good photo. The bathrooms were being cleaned as I was there, which made it awesome to know they were keeping up with it. My drip coffee was tastier black than when I added all the things, but still was yummy. Highly recommend this location and the Coffee Waves Chain.... Can we bring one to San Antonio now ;)

    Great coffee spot in Corpus Christi. It's not far from the beach shoreline but not walking distance . You will need transportation. Food - 4 stars Coffee was delicious and made to my customization. Didn't want something too sweet and she made it perfectly. Customer service - 4 stars Baristas are friendly Price - $$ dollar signs Cleanliness- 4 stars Restroom - stars Did not view

    This is one of my favorite coffee shops because of the great tasting coffee (and the hot chocolate), but also because of the covered patio outside! I also love coming here for to do my homework for my college classes.

    Great spot to get some work done while visiting family in Corpus. Was able to work outside and enjoy the breeze.

    I remember seing this place affected by huricane Harvey. I stopped by 3 months after the hurricane, wanted to have some coffee and I remembered seing like a concession trailer parked on the parking lot. Not offering a lot from their regular menu during those hard times, but I don't believe they ever went out of business. Despite that horrible event in PA, now this place is a great cozy local coffee shop to be anytime of the day. Either breakfast, or dessert. I stopped for breakfast but I couldn't resist to have a starcciatela gelato. Hmmm so yummy, and refreshing during the hot days at Port Aransas. The menu has a little bit of everything. The staff is super friendly which makes you feel so at home. Stop by and relax you are on island time.

    This visit had mixed results. My one scoop of cookies and cream gelato was good but they've dialed the assortment back to six flavors and coffee wasn't one of them. My wife had a frozen blended drink that turned out well. Our friend got an iced americano......they forgot her order at first, then what they brought her was weak and bitter, she mentioned it and they brought her another stronger but bitterer version....she thought it tasted like it was made from instant. We did a lot of bragging about this place....her order wasn't up to their usual high bar.

    Service was really great. I did go through the drive-through and the coffee was just OK for me but way better than Starbucks.

    We went to get gelato. We got the sopapilla cheesecake and banana pudding flavors. They were both delicious.
