Lightwave Coffee & Kitchen
9725 Main St, Guerneville, CA
Crema's Take
“Lightwave is a genuine community gathering spot in Guerneville where the owners Ori and Gal have created something special—a welcoming cafe with a full breakfast menu, creative signature drinks like their beloved "French-O," and matcha options, all served with genuinely kind staff and beautiful bones (garden seating, nearby skate park, thoughtful layout). The coffee itself leans toward lighter, more nuanced roasts, so if you prefer bolder profiles you might want to request an extra shot, but regulars have clearly made this their favorite for good reason—the combination of excellent vibes, quality food, and a space that actually feels like home.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Beautiful little cafe with a garden on the side and a skate park out back attached to a park. We had the French O (delicious) and the Lox Bagel. Park your car in the back and walk through the garden! They have all kinds of different fruits and veggies in there. There are clean…
Great location, staff is kind and attentive. I got a cappuccino which was very light to me. I prefer a stronger coffee, but it was okay. When I come back again I will ask for an extra shot. There is parking along the roadway in front, but the better parking is behind the…
