I like going to Waves on Kingsway rather than going to the Starbucks on Kingsway. It's easy to find free parking on side street, close to Patterson skytrain station, location is more spacious, good selection of sweets & snacks and their free Wi-Fi works well :) I find their staff friendly and I like the shop's late hours. There's usually folks studying there all day long, indeed a great coffee shop for studying.

Hasn't been 24h for a while. Staff seems to be new each time I've gone, I think there are new owners.

Located in the corner of a plaza, the floorplan is quite spacious. There are bar-type seats with electrical sockets.
Washrooms were not that clean. Neat keypad entry though.
Customer service was great, and the staff were friendly.
The 1 complaint though was that the internet kept cutting out. This was the advantage that Waves had over the competition of the last few years, and now it's no more. Be warned. -

A couple months ago I went in while waiting to meet up with my bf and ordered a hot chocolate and apple turnover.
I was happy to see that it was made with real chocolate, although I wish it had been a little bit more chocolaty.
The apple turnover was SO GOOD! I would go back! -

Here I am, snuggled in the difficult-to-get back booth of Waves... Yelping away on my laptop after stuffing my face with a half roast lamb panini and a cup of fresh tomato basil soup. Mmm.
Yes, it's mostly a study environment... and that being the case, a damn good one too. With ample light coming through the windows, soft 'intelligent' chatter surrounding me and coffee/food/desserts just a few steps away, it makes for one of my favorite places to get some work done.
The staff here are also very friendly - the manager (?) is hard working and super considerate. I walked towards a table with my laptop one day and he ran out to stop me in my tracks, letting me know that the outlets in that area were non-functional. Nice.
This is the Waves Cafe I'm usually at - quite often actually and it's become quite homey for me.
Please don't stalk me. I get scared easily. -

Popped in here a few times because its close to my work. Every time I've gone in there its been terrible service! Super slow, especially for a coffee shop and they messed up my drink order AND food order last time I was in. They offered to fix it but I had to get back to work as I had already spent 15 mins waiting for the wrong food and drink apparently. Not so impressed with them unfortunately.

I love that I can walk over here at any time (Yup, it's open 24 hours a day, every day!!! Hip hip Hurray!!) for a Belgian chocolate mocha and a slice of cheesecake, start up my laptop and start roaming. The Wi-Fi is free. Although, there's this little sign at the front entrance to please make a $3 min. purchase before using the Internet. I think that's a small price to pay to be able to use the Internet in a clean, bright, and quiet cafe in Burnaby.
The counter staff are friendly. The crowd is mostly in their 20's and 30's. During the late afternoons, it gets busy and the tables are usually all taken. There is also seating outside, but that too is filled up on warm, sunny days.
Burnaby needs more places like this... -
