Will never understand why you don’t order more bagels on farmers market days. Why are you out by 11am?? Update 5/17/23 - they have begun carrying way more bagels. Raised to 5 stars

I'm not a coffee guy but they got free water and the donuts are good

As a seasoned coffee enthusiast, I appreciate the nuances that make a coffee shop stand out, and New Wave did just that. Nestled in a prime location, the ambiance of the cafe is inviting and comfortable, a perfect backdrop for an exceptional coffee experience. I had the chance to try both the hot and iced lavender coffees. The hot lavender was a delightful blend, the lavender notes complementing the coffee in a symphony of flavors that was truly memorable. However, the iced version fell a bit short of expectations. It seemed the delicate balance was skewed by an overuse of lavender syrup, overpowering the other flavors and leaving a rather heavy taste. Despite this, New Wave's overall experience, combined with its reasonable pricing and excellent location, earns it a solid 4 stars. It's a destination that any discerning coffee lover should consider for their next caffeine fix.

Cool vibe, good coffee, staff is nice. I love that music volume is not too loud and everyone are pretty quite.

Really good. Their coffee is on the stronger side but a splash or two of simple syrup smooths it out. They have decaf, plant-based milks, candles, roasts to go, large open seating area indoors and outdoors, and a really cool/gritty styled bathroom. I recommend.

Only serves in landfill disposables, despite having a huge dine-in area. Bored staff don’t go out of their way to be friendly, but they do the job. Bathroom looks like a train wreck.

Great coffee but who wants to spend time here when they allow the homeless to take over entire areas of the cafe and harass the clientele. Guess I’ll be having my coffee/meetings elsewhere.

This use to be my favorite coffee spot, unfortunately they have redecorated and made it boring sad beige. I miss the colors. I also miss the Brie and pear sandwhich they use to serve. I think they are owned by another company now.

The 1st question I asked was "do you have any sugar free options" she said no. That was disappointing as a diabetic. They did have Splenda. The place is very spacious. Comfy chairs and long tables. It looked like a lot of people on their laptops and working. The staff was not friendly at all. No welcome in or when I was leaving have a great day. Very mellow chill vibe. My large iced coffee with room to pour my own cream and put my own Splenda in was $5.95. The coffee in my opinion was not my favorite. The person next to me got an apple cider that looked good. I will have to try next time .

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.

My favorite local coffee spot in Logan. Sundays are a bit crazy with the farmers market but don’t let that scare you. Grab some coffee and enjoy the market! Huge shout out to Dave & Isabelle who are always so friendly and make my coffee just right.

I love it here! Their iced mocha is a FAVORITE in the neighborhood—in the city! They always have a good selection of goodies (love that I can get a Beacon donut here). The baristas are efficient on mornings on the way to work and even on Sundays during farmers market rushes; you never really have to wait long.

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

New wave coffee is a great place to sit outside and enjoy Logan Boulevard. Whenever I’m in Logan I try to stop by here. The staff is great and the drinks are strong. I always get an iced latte or iced mocha and I am pleased consistently. Would highly recommend you to go in the morning and taking the scenery as people walk by and start their day.
