Really cute place, renovations inside are beautiful. The baristas are super friendly and sweet. I didn't try any of the food this first visit but I definitely will next time around.

What an upgrade. The new Sinewave cafe that took over the old espresso lab is amazing. The owners crushed the interior remodel. It’s gorgeous and thoughtful. It’s cozy and modern. Love that they built a little stage for upcoming music shows. I got a double espresso, it was super tasty and pulled well. Can’t wait to try the food. This is an awesome addition to the OB community.

I had an iced coffee with milk and a couple of their breakfast calzones: one with bacon on and eggs and the other with veggies and eggs. You can get a regular coffee and two small calzones for $10.
The iced coffee was great. The coffee offered a great medium coffee flavor and was smooth and rich.
The calzone are made in house by the owner....
