Food was amazing, very unique and eclectic. Had something that was like a pasty. Amazing,We ordered the plate and shared. It came with hummus and other side items. More than enough for 2.. Great value.

Tasty food and chill vibe. Beach laffa has veggie, cheese and egg in flatbed, with two delicious sauces. French O is a croissant with ham, soft egg and brie, also with a a wonderful sauce, and a tiny salad on the side. They don't apear to have indoor seating, and most of the attracive looking deserts shown on review sites are only available on the weekend. Finally, road closures currently make getting there tricky.

What an amazing place to have breakfast in. A peaceful place to sit, have good Mediterranean food, and get your energy high. The collection of antiques is also nice to the eye, but above all is the vibes of the two beautiful individuals who run this place. I want to go back, like now!

The vibe is fun and easygoing. The pour over, ice tea and cappuccino were nicely done. It was fun to see people take on the skatepark terrain just below. The service is very friendly and kind. The music was very energetic and non-mainstream which broke the mold from an ordinary coffee shop. The seating was cozy and varied. This was at the end of our Bohemian Highway drive. So apropos!

A perfect cafe, if such a thing can exist. Warm, wonderful, artful space with cool art and a great outdoor space. A great Skatepark right next to the cafe surrounded by redwood trees. The owners are the sweetest couple, the food is SO GOOD. Try the Beach Laffa, you’ll be glad you did. This is the only place in a 50 mile radius that can make a perfect Oatmilk cappuccino.

One of our favorite spots in Monte Rio. The food is great (we had pastries and 10/10 Shakshulah). Came back a second day because it was so good.Bonuses: beautiful garden next to the outdoor patio, skatepark right next door, and the friendliest staff I’ve ever met.

This place was unexpectedly amazing. Designed with style, roast their own coffee beans and the sandwich I had was supreme. The owners are so sweet, Will definitely come again when I’m around.

What a find! Authentic Middle Eastern foods in a beautiful setting in the woods. We had read reviews recently and drove over an hour to get there. Both the scenery and food was well worth it. There are several tables with umbrellas to sit at but we chose to sit on the covered porch with a family of about 15. The atmosphere was warm, friendly, and international as we enjoyed the delicious foods. Portions are just right and the flavors were unforgettable. Highly recommend the shakshuka, and pita plate with schug. Also the owners were very welcoming and kind and we could sense the love and care that they put into the experience at Light wave. Tip, it can get foggy in Monte Rio, so bring a jacket.

What a wonderful spot! Great coffee, amazing food, fun decor and Ori and Gal are two of the most welcoming owners you’ll ever meet! My favorite thing to order is the Bureka’s Plate!

Warm restrooms.They've updated the outdoor atmosphere since I last visited (I arrived before they opened.)The adjacent skate park seems to be thoroughly enjoyed by its users.

We stopped in on our way home from Cazadero and LOVED the ambience of this little spot. There were plenty of pups and a patio to sit, nearby garden and a skatepark. The food was amazing. I just wish I lived closer! Definitely a gem. I got the coconut curry. :)

Been eating here for years so grateful when I learned they survived the pandemic. You want a great smoothie get the skater. There's never been anything on their menu which rotates periodically that hasn't been fabulous the owners are personable the staff is amazingParking: Depending on the season parking can be a little tricky

Amazing addition to Monte Rio tucked away by a skate park where’s there’s always warm energy. Grab a coffee or tea and a bite to eat, sit down in one of their outdoor spots and enjoy the sun on an early morning! Can’t wait to be back at lightwave ASAP enjoying more delicious meals and drinks.

Love this place. Real warm and friendly folks. A big fan of the old radios and electronics that if they aren't the theme, they're supporting acts.The menu is delicious as it is Unique. Don't miss place on your Country drive.
