Shortwave Coffee is a popular coffee shop known for its incredible coffee, tea, and perfect ambiance for studying and socializing. Customers praise the jazzy atmosphere, chill vibes, and friendly staff. The Moroccan mint ice tea, matcha, and mint mayday drinks are particularly well-liked, along with the delicious pastries, despite the slightly higher prices.
The coffee shop is praised for its clean and cozy space, with a warm wood theme creating a unique and welcoming atmosphere. The in-house roaster is exceptional, offering exceptional flavor profiles, including an outstanding Ethiopian pour-over. The larger 9th Street location is also fantastic, but the original Alley A spot has a special charm.
The coffee and food are consistently good, and the cold brew is considered the best in the area. The laid-back atmosphere is ideal for getting work done, with a pleasant background noise from conversations and soft music. The convenient downtown location and friendly staff add to the overall positive experience.
