Situated on Newport Avenue in Ocean Beach, Brew Wave Coffee is winning over hearts and palates with locally sourced coffee, hand-rolled teas, and pastries along with a menu that eventually includes hot, fresh breakfast and panini sandwiches.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe run a medium, dark, and different-flavored coffee every day,\u201d said new owner Robert Brandy, who purchased the coffee shop at 4967 Newport Ave., from the retiring previous owners a year ago, after bidding against two competitors. He changed the name from Your Mama\u2019s Mug but decided to enhance, not alter its basic appeal. \u201cWe have done some improvements,\u201d noted Brandy. \u201cWe did introduce hand-rolled teas, which has become one of our specialties.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brandy has a long history of owning what he describes as \u201chard-charging\u201d corporate nonprofits. But he was ready for a career change. \u201cThis is the first time I\u2019ve done something I\u2019ve researched,\u201d he said adding he was looking for something to hit the ground running with. \u201cIt gave me a chance to really sit down and say, \u2018What do I really want to do from this point forward?\u2019 he said. \u201cAnd everything showed that coffee shops were going to come back when COVID was over and that everything else would start to follow \u2013 and it was true.\u201d<\/p>\n

Local is the focal point of Brandy\u2019s new business. \u201cAll of our vendors are local,\u201d he noted. \u201cThey\u2019re conscious of where they source their beans from. We have a number of organic, certified fair-trade, and women-owned growers. And we look for those vendors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brandy is also quick to tell you about his other focus. \u201cOur key is our staff,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve been blessed with the best staff you could ever have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Artwork is another highlight at Brew Wave Coffee, with several artists, all local, featured. One of them is photographer Clifford Black, whom Brandy noted has \u201cbeen here every day for almost 20 years having a cup of coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n

The motto on Brew Wave\u2019s website (brewwavecoffee.com<\/a>) is \u201c\u2018live life be happy drink coffee be happier.\u2019 We offer non-dairy milk alternatives and work with local bakeries to source the freshest, tastiest pastries. We select some of the finest beans from around the world and through our bulk sales, we can offer you the same coffee we serve in-store to enjoy in the comfort of your own home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brew Wave has an extensive list of coffee and tea drinks served to wash down a wide assortment of pastries. Drinks available include house-brewed coffee and iced coffee, cold brew, nitro cold brew, espresso, cortado, macchiato, cappuccino, mochas, and lattes. Alternative milk served includes oat, almond, soy, coconut, and non-fat.<\/p>\n

Teas featured include English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Moroccan Mint, Green, and Chamomile. Pastry offerings feature acai bowls, Danish pastries and spinach and cheese, ham and cheese, chocolate almond, and chocolate chip cookie croissants. Bagels served are plain, everything, jalapeno and cheese, cinnamon and raisin, and blueberry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat made me feel really comfortable coming in was this was a proven location,\u201d noted Brandy. \u201cIt was a successful coffee shop for over 20 years. If it didn\u2019t work \u2013 it wasn\u2019t the location.\u201d<\/p>\n

As expected, Brew Wave gets a lot of tourists but Brandy noted they\u2019re winning over locals too. \u201cWorkers are choosing to stop in on their way to work or eat their lunches here,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are getting more and more of the people who know all the places to go, and they\u2019re choosing us. We\u2019re trying to give them a good source, a good value.\u201d<\/p>\n
