Big Wave Coffeehouse — Restaurant in Folsom

Big Wave Coffee House is one of those local gems that makes you feel like you’ve found something special. It’s dog-friendly (huge bonus!) and conveniently right near the doggie daycare down the street—perfect for a pre-drop-off coffee stop.

My go-to drinks are the Honeycomb Latte (honey + vanilla) and the Cherry Blossom White Mocha (white mocha with cherry & almond). Both are on the sweeter side for me, but adding an extra espresso shot balances them out nicely without losing the flavor. On warmer days, I switch it up with an Ono Soda and add a Red Bull (they call a Red Bull fusion on the menu) for a refreshing, fizzy boost with wings.

Beyond the drinks, the vibe here is super welcoming. The walls feature the most creative local art—mosaic-style ocean scenes made with eggshells! It’s unique, beautiful, and adds to the charm of the space. They also sell locally made stickers and handmade cards, which is such a nice touch if you’re into supporting local artists.

Whether you’re grabbing something quick with your pup, meeting a friend, or just looking to start your day with something good, Big Wave delivers. It’s thoughtful, community-focused, and consistently hits the mark. Definitely...

Big Wave Coffeehouse has a great selection of fairly priced beverages and food served with aloha. Parking is easy to find in the shopping center they're located in. Indoor and outdoor seating is pretty plentiful. They have a welcoming environment with board games such as Connect 4, children's books, and newspapers. They accept cards, cash, and contactless payment. They serve coffee, blended espresso drinks, tea, Gatorade, Red Bull, assorted bottled beverages, and sodas (think Hawaiian themed Dutch Bros. style). I'm not really a coffee junkie so I love their sodas. Occasionally, I'll pick up an espresso based drink when I'm exhausted, and they never disappoint. Sometimes, I'll create my own, and others, I'll grab one of their signature drinks. For food, they have everything from bagels to breakfast burritos, brownies, oatmeal, scones, and yogurt. I love their banana brown sugar muffin. They also sell a variety of local art for reasonable prices. Service is always prompt and with a smile. We're in the area once a week several months out of the year, so we always make it a point to drop by. My wife and daughters love the inviting and friendly environment and...

Big Wave Coffeehouse is a locally owned and operated coffee shop in Folsom, which came into being in 2022 with the goal of bringing a taste of aloha to the Sacramento area. They offer a wide variety of beverages from your traditional coffee drinks, specialty blended beverages, energy fusions, and (most intriguing to me) 'Ono sodas.

I decided to go with a Build-Your-Own 'Ono Soda and selected a combination of Sprite + lychee flavor + guava flavor + cream in the large size. We also received an extra goodie in the form of a Yelp tumbler cup and a Yelp beach ball - perfect accessories for lounging by the pool, or a day by the beach.

The 'Ono soda is Big Wave's take on a traditional cream soda, but elevated by introducing tropical flavor options to really brings out the taste of aloha advertised. I fully enjoyed my drink as the tropical flavors of guava and lychee paired well with the lemon and lime in the Sprite, while the cream mixed in added a nice smoothness and creamy consistency to the drink.

If you're looking for something to quench your thirst, whether that's a coffee, smoothie, or a custom soda, then Big Wave Coffeehouse is definitely the...
