Wave Street Cafe
Known For
bottomless mimosas and a no-rush weekend vibe
New American breakfast & lunch fare in a charming, European-style bistro with an outdoor patio.
🕐Best time to visit: Sunday late morning
Our Take
Wave Street Cafe's sunlit corner seat and properly pulled espresso give it a specific, settle-in quality that's hard to find in a coastal tourist town. This is right at the top of the solid charming category — a genuine standout on the Monterey coffee scene that rewards those who seek it out.
