Always friendly staff and I love the underground spacing of the shop. I always love the coffee and the pastries are delicious. It also doesn't hurt that I'm greeted with a smile every time �!
Visited this shop in Missouri and it was fantastic!!!
Very skilled owner, barista, and roaster. If you want good coffee or even lattes, this is the place to go. I will be even more excited when/if this place is open Saturdays and Sundays!
Great atmosphere, brewmasters were well informed, helpful and coffee was delicious!
Loved the coffee selection. Great atmosphere to relax and drink coffee. They really know coffee and the best way to brew it.
The staff was very kind, the cappuccino was excellent, a nice atmosphere, and their espresso machine is beautiful!
Some of the best coffee in town, a great space, and cold brew coffee on tap! Dale really knows his stuff!
Great coffee, bought some beans to continue enjoying at home in Cape Girardeau!! Missed seeing Dale, maybe next trip we'll try to be there when your not off!

I fell in love today... with their coffee. The vibe here is subtly articulate, post-apocalyptic and yet soothing. I am so overjoyed I found this hidden gem. From now on this is my "go-to." This is a side of Columbia I want to get to know.
Staff is awesome and the chai tea lattes they just got taste like heaven! One of my favorite "hidden gems" in CoMo.
By far my favorite coffee shop in Columbia. Great coffee, talented baristas, and excellent pastries.
I have had chai latte from every place in town. Shortwave, hands down, the best!
Super place to hang out and drink excellent coffee while in Columbia!
Excellent coffee, very nice environment. Highly recommended.
Great vibe, great coffee, awesome owners, power outlets at every table, and the music comes from vintage vinyl LPs.
A unique and cozy space that fits all the right vibes. Dale and his blokes make an excellent product. Thanks again for that crazy good Malawian pour over, and Spro shot!
The best coffee! And their syrups are homemade for an added touch!
Great simple relaxing rustic feel and amazingly smooth coffee and delicious baked goods!

What an amazing experience we had at Shortwave Coffee. The atmosphere the coffee and the staff were wonderful. Lindsay created me a custom, one of a kind teddy bear Cortada. OMG it tasted even better than it looked if you can believe that! Thank you Lindsay and Caroline for your excellent service and making us feel so welcome in your beautiful city. ❤️❤️☕️☕️
Bought a bag of whole beans here, the 5x5 blend, and it was awesome the whole way through. Usually a bag "dies out" like a week in to opening it but this stuff continued to pull amazing shots the whole time (photo attached). They also offered a free drink with the purchase of a bag which would be awesome to capitalize on if I lived in the area. It's a cool experience walking into the alley and then descending down into the shop, and it's deceivingly big in there. The people on there were very helpful and someone was just vibin roasting fresh beans, adding to the chill yet industrial ambiance.
Shortwave is my personal favorite coffee shop in Columbia. I love that you can have two different places to go and still get the same great lattes/drip coffees/cold brew etc.The alley offers a more cozy, underground feel and the bakery (located on 9th) offers more of an upscale, modern experience. Either way, you can’t go wrong—both locations have friendly baristas and great coffee!
Super cute coffe place hidden in an alleyway. Great service and they have decaf and dairy free options too! I got a vanilla lavendar almond milk iced latte and it was delicious!
Shortwave is one of the best coffee shops in town. I always love getting either a vanilla chai or a cardamom drink. Very very tasty and delicious. You can definitely taste the excellent quality In the drinks unlike other local coffee shops around town. The pastries 🍰 are amazing too! The coffee drinks are well worth the price you pay and is consistent most of the time I go. Thanks for the excellent coffee and service shortwave!
This place is an amazing little coffee shop, definitely worth the effort to find. Great service from a local, family-owned business, and a charming atmosphere with everything you'd want in a coffee shop. I'll definitely make this a regular stop each time I'm in the area!
Best Cold Brew in CoMo! Their beans are roasted fresh in-house. Cool downtown space with lots of comfortable seating and a great place to study. Check em out in Alley A!
Great lattes, espresso, pour over. Some of the best prepared coffee I've had, better than the vast majority of third wave coffee shops I've been to in NYC, Chicago, Seattle, etc. Their baristas/roasters are legit. Highly recommended.
