This place is phenomenal. It's not your average cold new age coffee joint. It's all dark wood on the inside. It really looks amazing. I mean Coffee Waves? What a great name for a coastal coffee shop. The coffee is great and I got what was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had at a coffee shop. 5/5 would recommend. I ate here on the way to run the back half of beach to bay marathon while my teammate was running the first half. It really fueled my day well. read more

I always love coming here! Service is always great and Ariel always makes my matcha to a perfection! The place has been around for years near the university and it is a good size coffee shop with a big inside and patio area. It's great for all things; studying, meeting up with friends or just a simple pick up. There's games to play with too if you want something to do with friends. Check out their socials for their market days. They also offer food and treats alongside with gelato. They won best cold treats! It's nice to have this coffee shop plus they have other locations. read more

decent place for a sit-down break for a cup of coffee and a pastry. Studying might be a little hard as people jabbering loudly could make that uncomfortable. Parking lot's a little iffy with the drive-thru situated the way it is. Nice ambiance. Pastries we tried were a bit on the bland and dry side...but that might be to accommodate people who can't have much sugar...who knows? But they were dry. read more

gave them another chance as it's very convenient when i have to work in corpus. TWICE, i ordered an iced matcha with oat milk and honey and NO HONEY. definitely shouldn't get my my order wrong EVERY time- im not going back to have them remake it and and stall another 10 minutes either. DO BETTER!!! for an $8 matcha, is it that hard to get right?! read more

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. read more

The coffee and gelato is good that have so many different flavors and they change the ice creams every day but the last day I was there they had a two people there doing live music but the line in the mornings it is so long it is sometimes outside the door but it's worth the wait I have been going there for about like 2 years but they coffee is still good read more

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. read more

This is a great place when craving a cup of coffee or any beverage you can dream up. The service is fast and it is always busy here. Prices are the same as other coffee places. The also sell bakery items that are delicious! read more

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! read more

Always had a nice clean experience here. Until today. The restrooms are dirty. The soap dispensers were empty. Ergo the employees are not washing their hands. I suggest a QR code to voice these concerns instead of social media. Because this is usually very well run. The employees were not behind the counter. I looked, so I might speak with them directly. No idea where they were hiding. These are not the usual responsible employees your business employs. read more

The service wasn't the best, ignored us while counting out the register drawer.... unfortunately the place was also dirty. The food was good and so were the drinks. High quality bakery and gelato. Owner/Manager needs to work on staff training and cleaning the place. How they washed the dishes was unacceptable. That's how this flu spreads. read more

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 ;) read more

Coffee is good, drive thru service is rude and rushes you, brushes off questions and dosnt seem happy to serve

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 read more

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

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. read more

Had a little free time while working in the area and stopped in! So glad I did. My iced lavender latte was absolutely delightful, could actually taste the lavender. Also there was a perfect amount of ice (so often there's just too much ice!). Also they are requiring masks and staff wearing them, which I very much appreciated!!! Thank you for a wonderful coffee experience! read more

Coffee Waves - Iced lavender latte on the patio - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

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. read more

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

The drink wasn't that bad but the service was awful. I believe the servers name was shelby?? She was incredibly rude and obviously very aggravated. While taking our order she gave obviois attitude and was rude about the tip. Very unprofessional, personally will not visit this location while she works there. read more

A great coffee shop to come hangout at! My favorite item to order is a warm oat milk match latte with lavender and honey. If you would like to stay in your car they also have a drive though! Would not recommend the muffins, very dry and bland. read more

One of the more spirited coffee venues that I've ever been to in terms of employee enthusiasm. The guy with the glasses that kept saying "another XYZ coffee is ready at the baaaaaaaaaaar" was cracking me up the entire time that I was there. The other two females behind the bar were pretty funny as well. While my coffee tastes are fairly simple (expressos, cold brews), this location offers a pretty decent assortment of snacks that would put Starbucks to shame. Though this location looks like a hole-in-the-wall type of venue upon first glance, its far from it once you enter. Quite a bit of space all around. My only complaint is of the drive-thru. If you parked in the last spot on the far left of the parking lot that was in front of that massive pothole like I did, you'll see that the drive-thru traffic is almost upon you. The designers could've done better, but oh well. Look both ways a lot when parking within the drive-thru side of the lot. Certainly one of Corpus Christi's best that I'll definitely return to. read more

The hubby and I needed some caffeine before driving back to Austin. Luckily we were directed to this place which was awesome. I had a iced mocha which tasted great very chocolatey. The hubby had and iced latte which he liked. We hung out for awhile to enjoy the ambiance. Our barista was very nice. We both were intrigued with the pick your adventure option and the gelato looked awesome. This is now a must stop when we are in Corpus! read more

so good!! The ambience and interior was super nice, very spacious and great for chatting and studying :) The price for the drinks are reasonable too. One thing was that the bathroom sink would not shut off. read more

Great environment to get some work done. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Their coffee is great and they do offer a military discount. Staff is very nice. Only thing I would say is that the music is at times a little too loud to focus. If you have noise cancelling headphones then it's no issue. read more

As we are not from corpus, this was our first time to Coffee Waves and it was amazing!!!!!! I asked the girl at the counter for recommendations, and she recommended a coconut iced coffee which was amazing!! She recommended the honey badger for my hunny (no pun intended) We loved it, and loved that they were perosnallized. We got the coffee super fast and they were gone all too fast as well. I would go back anytime I'm in Corpus. Honestly we left the next day and I threw a tantrum because my hubby wouldn't go 20 mins out of the way on our 5 hour drive to get me coffee read more

If you are looking for coffee reviews skip this because I was here for vibes and pastries only. First the service for the most part was okay... the staff seemed to be clueless about the discounts and Yelp offers but otherwise were attentive. I enjoyed the banana nut bread and double chocolate muffin - both very delicious! Overall, this place is one of the better coffee shops in Corpus. Great study times for the few weeks I spent in the city. read more

Delicious gelato and handmade coffee drinks at this hip and cool spot near the TAMUCC campus on Alameda. We had one scoop of the cinnamon roll and one scoop of the Dulce gelato - and loved every bite!! Both burst with flavor and freshness, which you expect since their gelati are made daily. Steve got the Affogata - a shot of espresso over a scoop of Dulce gelato, topped with whipped cream. WOW - what a delicious combination! 5 sweet and toasty stars read more

I've only been to this place twice ever , this being my second time. The gentleman at the front counter was super nice and answered my questions and made suggestions. I got an iced lavender latte, the lavender wasn't overpowering it wasn't too sweet and the espresso was perfect. The coffee shop was clean and staff was wearing masks. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a coffee fix. read more
