Coffee Waves is a charming coffee spot in Port Aransas, serving artisan coffee beverages and…read morehandcrafted gelato all while creating an inviting atmosphere. The shop has a fun, artsy vibe, colorful murals, and artwork that give it plenty of personality. It's attached to a bookstore, making it a perfect place to grab a drink, browse a few books, and soak up those laid-back beach-town vibes. The staff is very friendly and they take your order at the counter. They have a vast array of syrup flavors for craft beverages. I tried two beverages including a hot Cherry Chai, classic chai with cherry syrup served warm and an iced Ube Matcha, a colorful, eye-catching option that brings a little tropical flair to your coffee run. They serve a variety of pasties and paninis. I tried the Egg, Bacon & Cheese Panini, A savory breakfast option served warm that hits the spot when you need something more substantial alongside your caffeine fix. I also ordered the pumpkin muffin filled with a rich cream cheese filling. Coffee Waves has that relaxed, eclectic atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer. Between the murals, local artwork, and attached bookstore, it feels like more than just a quick coffee stop. It's a fun little hideaway to recharge while exploring Port A.

I am used to more earthy, nutty medium blends, but not bad. Customer service was great! Busy afternoon, but pleasant service from everyone. Loved the decor and artsy vibe. Great place, definitely recommend for people from out-of-town to stop by sometime.

My husband and I witnessed a customer become extremely irate with several employees, and they all kept such calm attitudes and dealt with him very well, even when he essentially threw/slid his coffee that ended up on the employee behind the counter. I could tell that the employees that had been closest were shaken by the incident, but they tried to keep going with business as usual. However, I suggested they take a moment if needed. I understand the customer most likely had some sort of underlying issue to cause such behavior, but we can't imagine being in such a rush for our drinks that we would expect them to try to work through that. I hope they know that, at least, chances are the day can't be worse than what it was this morning. 3. It was a nice Starbucks, overall, and the ambiance inside was clean and well-sized.

If you want bistro food, pass on it, but if you like classic American comfort food, this is the place. The ambience leaves much to be desired, true, but it's very clean and the service is friendly and efficient. We had beef vegetable soup to start (serious yum) and a side salad (not so great due to dull dressing). Both the roast beef plate and pork cutlet were wonderful. Moist and tender and well seasoned. Great mashed taters and brown gravy. Save room for pie.

Looking for a breakfast spot and came across the "Bakery Cafe". And I wasn't disappointed. The…read morerestaurant is in older section of town across the HEB. As you walk in you are warmly greeted by the people inside, and you can seat yourself. If you have a smaller group you can set in the first section of the restaurant but if you have a larger group there is extra space in the next adjacent room. The ones taking your order are helpful in helping you choose your order. On this visit I had; "The Works" omelette, it comes with hash browns and choice of toast. The whole experience was great, the food was delicious. I highly recommend this particular place.

It's busy and you'll probably wait in line on a weekend morning, even in off season but it was worth it. The menu showcases all their milk options which is always so appreciated. A huge pet peeve of mine at a cafe is when they don't have a milk list, since I can't do regular dairy I like to know my options before placing my order. Staff was super friendly and efficient. It can get really crowded and busy especially since it's connected to a small boutique but once your order is ready, head outside to the courtyard where there's tables and beautiful plants, or take it to go and enjoy it while walking the beach or marina.

Place seemed cool, hippie vibes, a couple was in front of me & quickly got their coffee. My turn was next walked up to the counter, no other customers in the place except the young couple that left. the baby & me were ignored by 3 staff members- I was smiling looking at them & one setting up, one checking out the tips/taking that cash out of the clear bucket, the other went to the back. Not even a glance at me as if I was invisible as I was looking right at them. They did not want me there. This must be the worst customer service ever or wonder if it was due to being a person of color?!?! Baby & me just walked out. Either way it was horrible do not recommend. Maybe these two women & one man -were having a bad day or maybe they need to train these 3 staff about basic customer service 101.

When we asked for sorbet for our daughter who is lactose free, they said they had watermelon sorbet. That was not sorbet, it was water melon shaved ice. Even after they went to the back to scoop it, it came back completely frozen. I couldn't even insert the spoon in it, much less my 3 year old daughter. The watermelon ice ball came flying out of the cup onto the floor. We picked it up and asked for a different ice cream, and maybe have my daughter try a bit of regular ice cream even though she can't have it. They later brought out another watermelon ice that they had shaved it up a bit more so it wasn't too frozen. It was still frozen like shave ice, but at least my daughter could use her spoon with it.
