Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Friendly staff and nice decor. It is kind of hidden as well, which is nice since it makes for a quiet coffee house.
Went the other day, good tea, great atmosphere. Nice place to relax. I'll will be going again for sure.
They did an amazing job with this space! Beautiful! Espresso is excellent by chain standards too.
I love the atmosphere of this local cafe! The tile work on the front counter where you order is gorgeous, and the stay is super friendly! We had an awesome conversation about coffee with the barista there and he made the best London fog and latte for us! Also there’s a unicorn on top of their fireplace and I was hooked! Unicorns are the best so glad to say I will be back for the great service, tea/coffee, and the unicorn!
I think Waves has a few locations in Calgary. The place is cozy and good for chatting but isn't very trendy looking. They also have wifi so you can do work without much distractions.
I had a normal coffee which was like $2.50 and I believe their lattes are almost $5 which is normal for an independant coffee shop but still a little pricey. There is a good selection of food for a decent price. I The coffee was ok but I think I prefer other places like Analog. I would try their lattes next time as I saw in pictures that they have nice latte art.
My team and I go to waves coffee regularly, the staff is great, Jackie the owner always takes great care of us and is very accommodating. The space is comfortable, bright and great for working.
Great coffee, low key atmosphere, friendly staff, and clean tables! A perfect place in Calgary to drop in for coffee and conversation. Fast WiFi.
Great place to sit down bring your laptop and just work. Or hang out with some friends in a warm and cozy coffee shop. Coffee is very good and there are a lot of healthy options to choose from besides your various baked goods.
Came here for some hot chocolate during YYC hot chocolate fest. Really enjoyed the Cherry Bomb hot chocolate!
Location had great seating, and friendly staff
Very nice coffee, cakes and service!
I love going to Waves, the staff are always friendly and strive to make great quality beverages. There have been a few times where they've added the wrong milk to my drink but I generally carry my lactose pills with me so it hasn't been too much of a problem. If you have serious issues with milk choice, just be sure to really let them know. They do try their best! One star less because I'm not a big fan of their rewards program and wish they had more of a "buy this many drinks, get one free" system.
Good coffee, good location in downtown, very spacious and good seating arrangements. Nice place for a coffee date. Prices are similar to Starbucks and they have food selection as well. No parking whatsoever so either park on the street or in parking lots where payment is require depending on the time. Wheelchair accessible. Has washroom for customers. They have drinks that can be made dairy free.
We first wanted to have coffee next door at Marcus, but the place was packed so we opted for Waves. And we were glad we did. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Our latte and espresso were delicious with the latte having nice art as well. Made on a La Marzocco machine, you can't go wrong. I am not sure of the origin of the beans, though.
Our kids liked the place too and played with the toddler toy while we drank our coffee :-)
The downside was the limited variety of desserts offered - no pastries, but this was late afternoon and therefore I don't blame them. Other than that, a very pleasant experience !

This place is comfortable, the coffee is good, and has kept the socialist social distancing hysteria to an absolute minimum. It's good to see someone is still doing business as human beings ought to during this tragic era of human history.
Try the muffins. They're beautiful.
I'm a huge fan of Waves, and this is more than likely their best location in Calgary. Come seating indoors for those cold winter days, and ample seating outdoors for those hot summer nights.
The staff are pretty no-nonsense, but that isn't to say they are unfriendly, it's quite the contrary. They focus on making a bad ass drink and letting the experience speak for itself.
Highly recommend.
Very cozy place!... nice to chat with friends and to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee
Excellent latte, It's so much nicer to drink than almond milk and less likely to burn. Very smooth. The staff were also very friendly and happy to chat for a few moments.
