Curator’s note

Mike opened Dreamwave in the spring of 2025 where a Coffee Bean used to be, and the shop talks like this: unfriend the friend who will not bring a coffee, and four quad-shot lattes are fine but noted with concern. The cookies are baked fresh every day, and store-bought ones are on the short list of things the place refuses to carry.

The Coffee

High Tide, a latte of coconut and vanilla, is on the board every day, with a chai latte on the tea side.

The Vibe

The 90s reading is deliberate: pink tables edged in scallops, art hung among the merchandise on the walls, flowers and customized cups out on display, and a small, notably clean room with seats indoors and out. The graphic work is too consistent to have come off a shelf, a hand-drawn wordmark and bold poster art that carry onto the retail bags as pop-art mascots in primary colors and comic dots.
