Sometimes simple taste notes are always the best! The place is sort of tucked in, it's by the I-5 North exists and has ample parking.

We came on a Sunday morning and were the only party there, and when the barista opened the 1 fridge they had it was surprisingly pretty empty. They do have a rotating seasonal menu with some fun flavors. We got: - Hot Vanilla Lavender Latte (4/5): Very noticeable lavender scent and flavor, unlike many other locations that make it more subtle. If you love lavender I would recommend! - Iced Vanilla Bean Latte w/ oat milk (4.5/5): Very solid latte that I wouldn't mind having again, but also not particularly unique. Also worth noting the oat milk they use is planet oat, which isn't my preferred choice. Overall, solid coffee spot with solid beans. I wasn't interested in any of their summer seasonal flavors, but would be down to try out other seasonal menu items next time I'm in town.

They were accommodating to make my drink less sweet :). They have regular milk, lactose free, and oat milk. You can see their coffee bean machine to the left of the shop which is so cool! You can buy their coffee beans in the shop as well which are sourced from Mexico. We ordered an iced horchata latte and a vanilla latte. Their horchata latte is the real deal! It actually tastes like authentic horchata (like my mom makes!!). My vanilla latte was perfectly foamy and not too syrupy. Will be returning :).

I really appreciated how the ingredients were chopped up really small. They also had chipotle mayo available on the side but I did not try that. For the coffee, I went with a decaf salted caramel mocha iced cold brew with oat milk, 15/10. So good. The service was great, the gals working at the register were so nice. In addition, the place was very clean. My total for the two items, including tax was $23.67. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely be stopping by.

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.

My mom has an autoimmune disease and some days are just harder than others in terms of us getting out of the house and enjoying some mother-daughter time.

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.

Had we not checked in, we wouldve waited for something that might've not come. Definitely recommend a better system of keeping track of customers food and drinks order because it didnt come all at once.. and we hoped no one took our order by accident either. Overall, the food and drinks were good. We just wish we didnt wait almost an hour for our order.

I go to coffee shops in search of good studying locations. I enjoy a nice drink with a small breakfast or pastry. They only had two options for food. A plain bagel with cream cheese or a breakfast sandwich. The applewood bacon sandwich was really good. The spot itself was calm. However, the chairs were really uncomfortable. I would not recommend if you have wider hips. The booth tables had better seating options, but the tables were very low. I had to move locations because the outlet closest to the window did not work. Overall, the food was okay and the vibe was calm. One thing I would like to add is the customer service was fine however, the employees were really loud and obnoxious talking among themselves. Cussing repeatedly and talking about intimate life situations.
