Crema's Take
“Java Wave's buttery, moist scones are legitimately worth a drive to the Palos Verdes coast, and the baristas execute seasonal drinks like pumpkin spice lattes with real care and precision. The vibe is relaxed and beachy without feeling touristy, with friendly staff who seem genuinely invested in making your Sunday afternoon better. Fair warning: their espresso machine is top-tier but the straightforward coffee doesn't always match the hype, so stick with the specialty drinks and pastries.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout. Slow-sit spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Great coffee shop in Lunada bay! Stopped here on a casual Sunday afternoon and tried an iced pumpkin spice latte. They did a really great job! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The new owner is super sweet! Highly rec
Cozy beachy coffee spot with delicious pastries. Love the coffee and the environment! The people behind the counter are lovely.
Java Wave is an excellent new addition to our neighborhood. Their scones are to die for. Most scones Ive had are dry but these scones are soft and moist. Truly, the best scones I have ever had! The coffee is excellent, too! The new owner is fabulous and will go out of her way to…
The place has a great espresso machine, so it’s surprising that the coffee doesn’t taste as good as expected.
