Breaking Wave Coffee

By Carson B · June 24, 2025

This story ran in June 2025, so dates, hours, and details may have changed.

If you're downtown and need a quick caffeine fix, Breaking Wave Coffee is a great choice.

It's got a laid-back, coastal vibe inspired by the coffee scenes in Australia and New Zealand. No bells and whistles, just really good coffee.

I stopped in to get some work done and ended up staying longer than I planned. The coffee quality stands out, especially if you’re into the taste details.

Great spot to cool off with an iced coffee or just take a breather. While putting this together, I also learned they offer a coffee cart catering for events if you’re ever hosting something.
