“ Such a great place! Really nice service & the coffee was excellent. We came three mornings in a row, bc we liked it so much. ”
“ In town for one day for work , googled coffee shops in the area there were so many places to choose from, it was overwhelming. I chose breaking wave coffee and I am so happy I did. I was craving a pistachio latte. It wasn't on the menu but I asked if they were able to make it , and they were!! It was the most delicious pistachio latte I have ever had too. The employees were so pleasant and the music was such a vibe but also relaxing. Been pretty stressed lately and coming here was so pleasant and relaxing- a truly enjoyable experience all around! Highly recommend this coffee shop if you are also overwhelmed with all the coffee shops in the area and don't know where to go. ”
“ The BEST coffee in Sarasota my favorite place to be! Highly recommend the cappuccino and a berry cream cheese pastry. ”
“ Stopped by this coffee shop in downtown Sarasota and had a fantastic experience! The latte was perfectly crafted, rich, and smooth, while my daughter loved her honey lavender matcha—it had the perfect balance of flavors. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. A great spot to relax and enjoy high-quality coffee. Highly recommend! ”
“ New to the area so checking this place out, the avocado toast was really good & so was the latte. Not a ton of food options on the menu, nor areas to sit. Not the best place to go for work/studying vibes. ”
“ Breaking Wave is a sweet little spot, easygoing vibes, great coffee, and the people behind the counter are really nice. I’ve tried a few different drinks and they’ve all been consistently good (the flat white is my favorite so far). It’s the kind of place thats easy to pop into, whether you’re catching up with a friend or just grabbing something to-go. Definitely a happy little find. ”
“ 5 stars! I absolutely love this coffee shop! The place is beautifully minimalistic, calm, and cozy — perfect to relax or work a little. The coffee is always delicious, rich, and smooth, and they make the most perfect latte art every single time. You can really tell they care about the quality. Definitely one of my favorite spots! ”
“ The best coffee in Sarasota. Periooodttt! So so good. The cappuccino is rich, creamy, delicious… like a hug in a cup. Also highly recommend their pastries and croissants. ”
