I am so glad that this coffee spot opened up in Poway, we def need more good coffee in the area! Very friendly baristas, great coffees & matcha & a little patio outside for some Vitamin D. Make sure to follow their IG because they are always posting new creations such as Dubai Chocolate, Taro & more. Also, def check out their selection of delicious pastries & they carry bomb sourdough. 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

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

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. read more

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. read more

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. 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

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

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

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

I had a pretty disappointing experience at Coffee Wave. I ordered an iced salted caramel coffee with oat milk because I'm lactose intolerant, but when I received my drink it was made with regular milk instead. I didn't realize until after drinking some of it, and it ended up making me feel sick for the rest of the day. When someone specifically orders a milk alternative, especially for dietary reasons, it's really important that it's made correctly. The service also wasn't very welcoming. When we asked if our croissants could be warmed, we felt like we were being judged for even asking because there was a long line. Later, when we went up to politely ask if we could have a little more syrup in the coffee because it tasted mostly like milk, we were met with attitude. It honestly made me feel really uncomfortable and unwelcome, which is a shame because we were trying to be as nice as possible. We were planning to order more food, but we were told it would take about 20 minutes because they were short staffed on a Saturday. I understand being short staffed, but the combination of the incorrect drink, the very unprofessional behavior and the overall experience left a really negative impression. ***While I understand that being short-staffed is challenging, it shouldn't compromise basic safety, such as ensuring a guest with a dietary restriction receives the correct milk. I've shared my honest perspective on the service we received that day, and I'll leave it at that. I wish your team the best moving forward read more

Friendly helpful service! My favorite, the Matcha tea suggestion was spot on great! Nice place also to meet up for a chat, tea & a pastry!

Excellent coffee: we got the lavender latte and mocha. My first mocha was regular sweet which is probably perfect for most people, but the 2nd time I came in I ordered it less sweet and it was perfect for me. This cafe is small, but they did a great job maximizing their seating spaces. It has a clean, welcoming and cozy vibe. I really like the color theme and mural on the wall. They get fresh bakery delivered every day including whole sourdough loaves. read more
