What people say, in short
Best for long work sessions over a single drink; the coffee and food divide opinion.
Third Wave Coffee is heavily recommended by commenters, above all as a place to work: several say you can sit for hours with a single drink without staff disturbing you, and one commenter says the chain is built for work, with individual seating, charging points and wifi. Commenters praise the coffee, two each single out the chilli cheese toast and the pancakes, and one likes the iced teas. Views are mixed on food and coffee: a few commenters strongly dislike the coffee, one found something off about it after two visits, one says only the chilli cheese toast is worth eating, one felt a bagel sandwich was bare minimum, and another wishes there were more vegetarian desserts.
