Wave Street Cafe

Known For

Garden-draped patio that transforms a street corner into a morning escape

Wave Street Cafe earns its instagrammable tag through a genuine commitment to outdoor seating surrounded by garden vibes — climbing greenery, string lights, and the kind of great-for-photos morning setup that makes the food taste better by association. Sit outside if the fog cooperates.

🕐Best time to visit: when the morning coastal fog has lifted but the air is still cool
