    Came here on  Tuesday and had their $2 matcha latte with soy. It was a bit weak, though no complaints with the reasonable price and comfy place to warm up from the cold weather outside on the Steveston boardwalk.

    The $2 Macha Latte was mediocre and the place was very noisy. It's a shame because the interior is beautiful and the location is excellent.

    Waves is  SECOND RATE coffee shop.

    Waves goes out of its way to say its Canadian, but serves terrible, overcharged food and knockoff Starbucks drinks.

    Why not have some fresh baked Canadian recipies?

    Great place to grab a hot latte after perusing the pier for fresh fish to warm up.  Wifi capability definitely a plus.  Cozy atmosphere and clean restrooms.  More than one coffee place in the fisherman's wharf area, but this one fit the bill for me.

    $700 for TWO DESSERTS at this location.

    My two desserts on Monday night last week eventually cost me $700 or so, and I'm not fully recovered.

    I tried to phone the female franchise owner, but her answering machine just hang up without taking a message. I've met her twice, but lately, she hasn't been around.

    A person at the opposite end of this large coffee shop was coughing EVERY TEN SECONDS or so. My intuition said -- "leave right now". So, I caught a really bad flu and missed work.

    In respect to the desserts:
    The lemon square (my usual) had to be dragged out of the freezer.
    The caramel cheescake was mispriced, so the clerk punched it up as a different item to lower the price to $3.50

    What should the staff have done? Take a cue from doctors ..
    At the Seafair medical clinic, any person with a cough is REQUIRED to wear gauze mask *and* must wait outside the clinic!

    There are also UV air sterilizers at many better eateries. Only $50 -- every coffee house should have one, before coffee shops get mandated by government.

    Would I go to "StarBuzz" for coffee?  No.. there are unconfirmed rumors (allegations) of addictive coffee served there.

    What's good about this Waves?
    Has real utensils.
    Brighter than any coffee house with similar long hours.
    Comfy seats.

    Still haven't been a Waves cafe with nice employees. The cashier was too busy watching tennis on tv and totally didn't want to be there. I'd rather head to Starbucks where they value customer service.
