The space itself has a very artistic, minimalist vibe. I wasn't sure what to order, so I asked the barista for a recommendation. She suggested the Freddo, and it did not disappoint. I went with the Ethiopian coffee blend, and honestly, I can confidently say it had one of the best flavor profiles I've experienced from a coffee shop. The two shots served in the small cup were the perfect size but after enjoying it, I liked it so much that I ended up ordering a large decaf as well. Great coffee, great atmosphere, and a barista who knows how to make a good cup of coffee. Definitely worth checking out if you appreciate quality coffee and a unique space.

It is typically medium roast, not sour or bitter. Today I bought this: "Verao" Single Origin Tasting notes: marzipan, peanuts, caramelized sugar 12 oz. Very aromatic after brewing and you can pick up the tasting notes if you sniff into the grounds especially. The STAFF are okay but not great. Nobody was present at the counter for several minutes and there is no bell to ring. I vetoed and used the restroom. When I returned, same deal. She did show from the back a couple of minutes later but she acted as if I was invisible. Was she handling a drive-thru order on those ear buds? ;) Regardless, I eventually got my java and up out of that mug. Thankfully the java in my mug was worth the minor annoyance. Welcome to the anti-social "tech age" where even customer service people are sometimes not down.

They have a great mix of classic coffee options along with more unique and creative drinks. One of my favorite things about this place is their "Chef's Choice" option! You can tell the barista what flavors you like and what you're in the mood for, and they'll recommend or custom make a drink for you. Such a fun concept, especially if you want to try something different but don't know exactly what to order! There are some spots for seating but pretty limited. Vibes are great, playlist was great! The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, and you can tell they really care about creating a great drink for you. I also loved the overall atmosphere, it has a lot of personality and is a great little stop while exploring downtown. Great pastries as well, cinnamon roll was a hit! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the Gaslamp and looking for something beyond your typical coffee shop. Great coffee, fun concept, and awesome service.

This past Sunday, I decided to head over for a morning walk and finally stopped in again. The shop is pretty small with limited seating, so it's not really a place to hang out. It seems more like a grab-and-go coffee spot. There aren't many great coffee shop options in this part of Coronado, so I can definitely see why it's popular with both locals and tourists. I arrived just before the morning rush, so I was able to order and get my drink almost immediately. The cashier was super friendly and welcoming, which made for a great first impression. I also really appreciated that they offer a military discount--it's always nice to see businesses supporting the military community. I ordered a medium cold brew with coconut cold foam and asked for very light ice. I was so happy they actually listened! So many coffee shops still fill the cup with ice even when you ask for light ice, and I hate watered-down coffee. This one was perfect. The coconut cold foam was absolutely delicious and added just the right amount of sweetness to complement the bold flavor of the cold brew without overpowering it. I also love that they serve organic coffee. I'll definitely have to remember to stop by more often whenever I'm in Coronado in the mornings. Next time, I need to try one of their donuts too!

Mike and the entire team at Dreamwave are doing such an incredible job of making the experience worth every penny. The quality of the coffee, the work they do, and the service they provide is truly top tier. While they do have a lot of fun flavors, this is not the kind of place that drowns the palate with sweetness. They expertly balance the ratio of syrup, milk, and espresso to provide the best outcome. The nuttiness of their roast really shines, and they're always happy to adjust the sweetness if you need them to. Personally, I love the lower sweetness level being the default. These guys know what they're doing! We've been visiting for the past week and have stopped through Dreamwave four times this week. While I'm always in the need of a coffee fix, we've gone out of our way to visit multiple times because the people have been so beyond kind. We've sampled most of the house flavors and I can confidently say they have all been delicious. This would definitely be my go-to shop if I lived nearby.
