    Mint Mayday-  do you see the Mint in the right upper corner of my drink?
    Stephanie K.

    I love this spot for studying and working so I'm so glad another coffee place decided to open at this location. Only thing is..... they don't do Cold Foams. I know first world problems, right? I sucked it up and I got their Cookie Butter Latte iced & their Mint Mayday! Both were really yummy and not too sweet. Right amount of sweet for me. For Mint Mayday, I was like "Mint in coffee? I don't know about that"! Surprisingly, it was good and very refreshing. If I wasn't scared of acid reflux, I would've chugged it! Great space for work and study for solo and group. Outlets everywhere! Good lighting! Street meter parking (download parkmobile) Few pastries available, but no kitchen food. Friendly staff!

    This is such a massive space and I love the main area and the outdoor section. They are open until 8pm which is such a rarity. Popped in on a Sunday evening and ordered an iced matcha with honey. It was perfectly sweetened. Staff were friendly and the matcha was out fairly quickly. Great place to come and work. The music was a vibe but not too loud of distracting. I loved just hanging out and reading.

    My new favorite coffee shop. There's tons of space to work, great coffee, nice staff, and a quiet patio!

    Window seating

    The most special thing about this place is the space. It is incredibly spacious, with plenty of window seating so you know there is plenty of natural light. The booth are wooden but comfortable. NOTE: The hours have been extended to 8 PM every day which is awesome and a bit uncommon!

    What a delightful stop on my way through the central West End! I use this frequently and it previously held another coffee shop that closed down. I'm so happy to see shortwave has opened in its place. Kind staff, quick service, and a delicious latte! Lots of seating (a good mix of two person booths, tables, and window/high top seating). I was surprised with how busy it was for noon on a Tuesday! I will absolutely be back and wish them nothing but continued success as people start making this their morning stop!

    Sorry y'all, I had to take a bite before the picture, but this bacon, egg, and croissant sandwich…read moreis sooooo good! I love when I can eat a breakfast sandwich without having to add jelly or jam to give it flavor. The egg portion is great, and the bacon tastes amazing. I also ordered the strawberry banana smoothie, and it was absolutely delicious, too! If you're looking for a great, clean, and quick place to grab a morning meal and a beverage, definitely check this spot out.

    I love what's happening in the Cortex area, and I'm glad there's a coffee shop nearby!…read more Check for street parking (paid with an app) and be prepared to walk a bit; I found a spot a block away at 9 AM on a weekday. I wasn't greeted when I entered and I didn't see a food menu, so I chose from the baked items in cases on the counter. The drink menu included many temping items, and a list of tea varieties was on the counter. Later, I noticed an LED screen was changing displays and did include some breakfast sandwich items that I missed. Maybe next time! My latte was good. The bacon cheddar scone was served at room temp and did not seem fully cooked; it had sticky batter in the middle. Unless I missed an adjoining room, seating is limited to counter stools and tables for two-- both high top and low options. There's plenty of outdoor seating, though it wasn't shaded when I visited. Several people were working at computers in the morning I dropped by, and a few tables of two were talking. I think it would be a stretch to have a larger group in the space.
