Ice cream is always an ice cream (very average at this place btw). But the service was annoying and rude (lots of personal questions and comments), an unpleasant musty smell, torn upholstery, dusty counters and ventilations, dirty chairs and tables (and only one couple siting by the window) (what are employers are doing instead of cleaning?). That was the ONLY... More

We visited PA for a weekend and were busy trying to fit everything and every place in. But, this was a welcomed surprise to find a place that was almost as relaxing as walking along the beach. We stopped in for coffee and dessert before calling it a day--and how nice it was. Some clouds had rolled in early in... More

We came to Port Aransas for a nice adult family gathering. After a wonderful dinner my sister suggested Coffee Waves and away we went. OMG....it was the end of a perfect day. We got our home made ice cream and hung out in their great atmosphere on their cozy chairs to finish our conversation. It was just so relaxing. Just... More

My husband got the gelato while I enjoyed a coffee drink. Pets must be welcome since we saw a couple of well behaved canines enjoying some chill time with their owners. Leather chairs invite you to relax a while. A great place to visit and revisit.

This is the best coffee house in port Aransas. The homemade gelato is unique. The flavors are unbelievable. The atmosphere is very laid back. Island time all the time. They have live music on Friday and Saturday nights.

The Gelato at Coffee Waves is awesome. We went twice on this trip. The selection is small but a good variety. Both of the flavors that I got were very good. I think my favorite this trip was Banana Split. They had a few different selections on both trips. I had gone there last summer so looked forward to a... More
