Got it!\n\nI frequent this place for food and beverages. A lot. Be it with my friends, or on my own to work, I come here about 3 to 5 times a week normally (which I realize is probably more than I should). But, there's a few reasons I keep coming back.\n\nOne of those reasons, is the food. While it's far from gourmet, it's still pretty tasty. The Roast Chicken Wrap is my favorite for lunch (or a quick supper if I've got a lot of work to do), and if I'm willing to become a temporary diabetic, the Cinnamon Bun is massively delicious! (No, really, it's huge. You probably want to drag a friend down to consume it with you).\n\nAnother reason is the staff & service. These folks are super friendly, good sense of humor, and they will attempt to memorize your 'usual' if you visit this particular location often enough. They even occasionally will bring your food to your table (I can't say if this is a standard practice or not, as it seems to strongly depend on how busy they are).\n\nAs for the beverage side of things, I have no complaints, just compliments! Drinks are never 'rushed' (which to me, is a good thing), and maintain an excellent level of consistency (the flavor doesn't change every time you order your favorite, which I really can't say for a few other places). I personally like my iced (dark) mocha, frappes and smoothies, but my friends love the lattes and hot chocolate sold here.\n\nAnd I feel like I'm beginning to ramble, so let's see if I can shorten this a bit...\n\nOther perks to this fabulous little coffee house:\n-Upbeat & warm atmosphere\n-Fun, clean decor (lots of blue, as you can imagine)\n-Unique artwork that changes periodically\n-Open early, close late (used to be 24 hour I believe)\n-Outdoor seating, for those few precious days of summer we get\n-Bookable meeting room (for all you business savvy folk), separated from main room by a glass wall & doors\n-Just steps away from my home (this one likely won't apply to you =P)\n\nAnd I believe that's it...\n\nOH! One thing I will note, is that when it gets busy, it can be a wee bit crowded, and a touch noisy. However, this doesn't bother me much, and allows Waves to keep it's 5 star rating from me.\n\nHope you folks enjoy it here as much as I do.\n\nBe well, and much love! =)"^^ . .
