New Wave Coffee

Always a nice place to hang, whether it's to catch up with a friend, meet someone new, or get some work done. It has two sides of the store which makes it really unique. Located very conveniently by the Square in Logan Square, and also right by the Logan Square Farmers Market. Their drinks are also tastey!

Great neighborhood spot in Logan Square if you're not into the more corporate cafes around. Coffees and teas are tasty. Wifi is strong. You have couches to sit in more comfortably, or window seats on either end if you occasionally like to people watch as you relax. Good place to get away and hear some good music while you sip coffee and work...

This place is great. They have amazing coffee, fresh bakery items, and it is very comfortable. They have lots of power plugs that make it easy to plug in a laptop and get a little work done. While enjoying a cup of coffee. We ofter grab a cup of coffee here and recharge as a team.

A single espresso shot was $4, the store was dirty (floor was sticky, trash strewn about) and the stall lock in the bathrooms was straight up broken.

Nice funky city coffee shop. Sat outside for a meeting. City noises but lotsa fresh air.

New Wave is a great coffeehouse with tea, sandwiches, and amazing customer service. The staff are always super friendly and genuine. If you want a place where you feel like your at a friend's place just lounging, here it is.

The Baristas are sometimes unprofessional the coffee is sometimes meh.

Update: the Baristas are still sometimes unprofessional. Not rude they just behave as if professionalism isn't something to strive for/not part of the gig. I think the problem here is lack of training. However, the sandwiches here are very tasty. The coffee is getting intermittently better and the quality of the coffee is more consistent. When I order a cup of coffee I now know it's generally going to be okay and sometimes good. A pet peeve I have with this place is that music here is generally too loud and sometimes annoying. Im guessing that each barista takes a turn playing their music through the speaker system. Sometimes you get a barista that has really great taste other times you get a barista who has really awful taste. Either way you are listening to it the whole day.

Amazing coffee and amazing sandwiches I ran into this place when I went to go skate at Logan skatepark and I always enjoy a cup of coffee when I skate. I fell in love with this place and didn't remember where it was so I never found it again. Luckily Google reminded me recently that I came here before and now I know where it is so I can go again. Coffee is hot it's not sitting there all day that's great and that sandwich with avocado was amazing.

Yes, I have issues with this place. I once made a snarky Twitter comment about some album that was being played a few days after they opened and was promptly blocked by the account owner. It feels dirty in there. The coffee is decent if not exceptional. The crowd, especially during the first few years was hipsterish in the bad sense - snobby, dismissive and borderline rude. That said, I'm very happy this place exists. It was my home office for a year and was the first place in LS that I could work at all day. I'm glad there are other options to work out of now, but I still go back there regularly to support the place that started it all.

Great coffee, great food, great art. TERRIBLE internet unfortunately. They seem to cater to the freelance crowd during the day, even adding a printer, but the place is impossible lately... Also music is good, but not ideal for a work day most of the time.

I love this place, but I am probably going to find some place else to spend time...

Dropping to 3 stars. The wifi just doesn't even work at all most of the time...
