Waves Coffee

Good service. The owner is always pleasant. I like the staff that work there. There is more then enough room to seat 30 people. There is also a padio to sit as well.

I highly recommend you NEVER give this waves location business. The manager is rude and treats his employees like crap. He is abusive and says very inappropriate comments to them. He is racist towards customers and likes to go on smoke breaks every 20 mins. then he proceeds to NOT wash his hands after smoking and makes coffee. He purposely serves stale food and is a complete asshole. Go to Starbucks across the street instead!

Great staff at this Waves Location makes it my favourite Coffee Shop in Downtown Port Coquitlam.
It’s nice to go to a coffee shop (or whatever the place may be) and seeing the same people. The staff is small, but consistent, and I love that. In fact, I value that a lot. They know who you are, you know them, and it makes your day that much better.
The coffee is good. Better than Starbucks? Perhaps. The food choices are better than Starbucks if I had to compare. This reminds me more of the late 90’s Bread Garden, which I used to visit quite a bit. Good sandwich options and breakfast options too.
The good thing about Waves over Starbucks is their occasional sales. $ 2 latte is a great deal once in a while. Their Matcha Green Tea Latte is also better, as Starbucks doesn’t have this option. Starbucks may be a larger chain with a Points System, but you can still save a lot of money going to Waves when you take advantage of their frequent sale offerings.
This place is a recommend. The staff are what makes it better than the average coffee shops.

I really like the atmosphere of this Waves. We occasionally have our strata meetings here and they can easily seat a crowd of 8 – 10 no problem. It’s a nice alternative to Starbucks across the street and pretty good coffee too!

Best hot chocolate ever! They use real chocolate. Cannot comoare with starbucks blenz tim hortons. They have a nice relaxing atmosohere with the sofas.
However customer service is pretty bad in the evenings. Gotta wait for the cashier to actually show up, workers are more focused on their talk rather than a customer who wants to order a drink, their posture and mood is kind of drowning.

Good place to meet friends. Family, meetings. Good service from Staff. Operated by brother and sister family. Thanks too Tony and Maggie for being friendly and a home feeling place.

This is a great place to go for studying (free wifi, big tables, outlets, not noisy). Love their desserts, sandwiches, soups, and lattes. This is a large café and the ambience is nicer than Starbucks. Street parking is free or you can park in the large parking lot in the back if you plan on staying long. Friendly good service.

Ended up here by accident. Was going to have lunch across the street at the little Thai place but the lineup was too long. I was so hungry I could of eaten the a** out of a skunk.
I was surprised, they actually have some good eats in here. Some delicious soups and rolls. Took a cookie for a snack later, and just as tasty as the Starbucks ones.
If you are in a hurry, then here is a place to try. Nice people working here, good food and they change up the soups apparently.

Definitely the largest Waves I’ve ever been to: must’ve been at least 10 tables, lots of lobby space to move around too.
Plus patio seating at both doors, with the cobbler-​gastown feel, except more even surface lol.
free wifi.
Definitely a nicer place to go than Starbucks.

For the short stay I had in Poco, I *loved* dropping by this Waves for my study sessions! Everyone was extremely friendly, their paninis were absolutely delicious (to the point that I almost bought a sandwich grill and bought them to try to determine exactly what they put into them…), and they have really good drip coffee.
I’ve tried their Chai Lattes in hopes that it would taste like the ones in Sweden at Wayne’s (which, oddly enough, looks EXTREMELY similar to Wave’s and even has the same coloring for the font), but it just wasn’t the same. I’ve yet to find a chai latte that’s good here in Vancouver, but it was definitely better than the ones at Starbucks either way.
If I had to choose, I would come to Waves every day… if only there was one closer to campus.

best thing about Waves… the Chai Latte!
they make a chai that is absolutely the best! far better than Starbucks.

Waves is honestly my favorite chain coffee shop my self I am a tea person, there teas are fantastic all lose tea so when they opened one in poco I was very happy you will for sure see me through there enough

Nice little coffee shop — and part of a Canadian franchise. Friendly people, well lit, nice selection of panninis and pastries. Nice seating area with windows onto Shaughnessy.

Very nice coffee shop, right in the heart of Poco at Shaughnessy and McAllister. Free internet access, lots of parking, friendly staff. The usual range of coffees, lattes, caps and fraps. A wide assortment of cakes and treats, all very scrumptious.
The only thing lacking was their tea in my opinion. They have a wide selection of teas, but none of them made a proper cup’o’tea. I let mine sit for 10 minutes and it was still not even close to strong enough for me. If you are a coffee shop you should know how to make a proper cup of tea in my opinion. Boiling hot water poured over the teabag in ceramic pot or mug (mini brown betty teapot works the best) is the traditional Canadian way.
Every Tuesday nights they have an open mic for local musicians and talent, which is a lot of fun and very entertaining. The atmosphere is fantastic, lots of seats yet lots of elbow room. I am definitely going to become a regular customer.
