Crema's Take

“Shortwave Coffee feels like the thoughtful neighborhood spot where skilled baristas remember your name and actually listen while crafting your drink. Beyond their espresso-forward menu, they distinguish themselves with in-house made syrups, creative specialty drinks, and an impressive selection of vegan coffee options that don't feel like an afterthought—all served in adorably designed ceramic cups that make you want to linger in their calm, homey atmosphere.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
