Waves in Steveston

Waves Coffee Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - ZomatoSince the dinner at the Crab King was screwed up for some reason, we went to Waves to kill time. This Waves was quite spacious, and the all glass windows on one side and the front let in a lot of natural light, giving it an airy and inviting feeling.

idearabbit_waves_steveston1 idearabbit_waves_steveston2As usual, I had my favourite Rooibos Latte $3.65, but this time, it wasn’t as creamy and frothy as it usually it, or appears. A bit of a disappointed. I’ve been going to different Waves in town, and this is the first time I thought it wasn’t up to par. None the less, the place was large enough to accommodate our large party.

Luv Cravings

Luv Cravings Gourmet Lifestyle & Celebrations on UrbanspoonAs we walked toward the cafe after we parked around the corner, there was a couple who were happily talking.
Later, we found out that the girl was one of the staff and unlike her behavior to her ‘boyfriend’, her attitude towards the customers was emotionless and unfriendly as if she had lost her soul. The other girl working there was not any friendlier.

The cafe itself was a nice change from your usual Starbucks. Chandeliers, pink booths and black interior, it had a modern chic look.

The atmosphere was slightly gloomy, not sure if it’s the lighting, the unhappy staff or the pretty empty room but I wouldn’t say it’s comfy – though the seats were.

I ordered a Tiramisu $6.95 which was really good. Very creamy and soft custard. A bit pricey for something presented in a plastic cup and a small portion, but was happy with it.
idearabbit-luvcraving6The Red Espresso Latte $4.95 was also very good (not just in flavour, but for a late drink since it is caffeine free). Instead of coffee beans, this drink uses rooibos. It’s light and honey tasting.

I thought the food was decent. The service is lacking. I wouldn’t mind going back again, but they need to work on service!
