I love this place, and more importantly I love their free WiFi! They don't force you to ask them for a "code" to connect to the internet and they really could care less how long you stay.
I can't speak for their drinks since I have only had peppermint tea however I did have some pretty amazing soup there! It was over priced of course but so god damn worth it!!!
The staff have always been friendly and the environment is comfortable even when it is full, which is very rare! -
Review from Alicyn C.
I am in love and I don't care who knows. I step into Waves Coffee House from time to time as it is another coffee shop that is relatively close to work. Today was the day that I tried their blackberry mocha and wow has it ever taken my heart. Such an unusual combination yet so very delicious. To pair up my bevy with some food I tried their honey ham & cheese panini.. yum!
This location is large and there is plenty of room to chillax at lunch ina nice comfy chair and read your book or sit at a table with friends and sip on your java or tea while chatting it up.
Waves offers free Wifi, uses organic fair trade coffeee that is roasted in Vancouver and is Canadian. What more can you ask for. -

The most crappest.
I used to stop here occasionally because it is near my office, although I have no idea why, because there are two better cafes just down the block (I recommend Chiffon Patisserie for all your coffee-sandwich-dessert needs). I came in once and, on a whim, ordered a chocolate Americano. They make their mochas at Waves by grinding up chocolate bits with a blender so it mixes in well. They did this in my Americano, and it was incredible (hence the second star). Hereafter, even when I would ask them to, I'd repeatedly get chunks of chocolate sitting in the bottom of an Americano, unblended. It tastes like drinking a cloudy regular Americano until the last sip of chunky, chocolatey hell. The muffins look fruity and delicious, until you realize it's just a bland sugary cake with fruit stuck on top. The atmosphere is awful. The bathrooms are nice though. Meh. -

This Waves is never really busy so you can always find a seat, the coffee is ok but they have great panini sandwiches, I like the breakfast one any time of the day. The chain should also be congratulated for making wifi free all over town, once they started everybody had to make it free, remember the stupid Rogers signin at Starbucks.

This location is always packed and you have to fight free-Internet-access-seeking students for a table to sip your brew! That said, if you do manage to get a seat you can enjoy wireless in a fairly comfortable environment. If you're sipping solo, there is a bar along the windows with a view out to West Broadway, so you can watch the world go by while you're getting you're getting your caffeine fix.
I have only once tried their sandwiches, and that is something I would not repeat. The coffee was fine ... but I think it's really the wifi that keeps people coming back. -

The closest coffee shop to my work yet I rarely visit. The coffee is ok but expensive. The renos they did when they opened the place make it I relaxing place to sit. Everytime I go in there it seems like there is some "first day on the job" trainee taking my order or making my coffee, but I guess that is to be expected. So why two stars? Because I routinely stop at the local blendz or starbucks or timmyd ahead of this place despite this place being way more convenien; that and I dislike the fact that they call their toonie special something that costs 2.99.....
