I recently visited Third Wave Coffee and overall had a pleasant experience. Starting with the ambiance, the place is beautifully designed and very photogenic. The interior has a modern and cozy vibe, making it a great spot to relax. It’s also suitable for working professionals who want to sit with their laptop and work, or for friends who want to hang out and spend some quality time. The service was good. The staff was polite and attentive, and the order was served within a reasonable time. When it comes to the food, we only tried Paneer Cheese Toasties, which were decent but nothing extraordinary. Since we tried just one dish, it would not be fair to give a detailed opinion on the entire food menu. The coffee, however, was quite good. We tried their Hot Signature Filter Coffee, which had a rich and authentic flavor. We also ordered a Large Iced Sea Salt Mocha, and that was definitely the highlight — very well balanced and refreshing. Third Wave Coffee is a great place for coffee lovers and people looking for a comfortable café to relax, work, or meet friends. The ambiance and coffee are definitely the strong points of this place.Read More

Real great place to sit and work or just talk to your friends, tried some new drinks and it was really fun, I had the velncia orange and something Vietnamese, I believe both being really good and just enough caffeine and flavour in it, the place good to hangout, sit down and relax. Has option for both outside sitting and inside sitting, a truly a 10 on 10 placeRead More

A/C not working and leaking on the tables. Staff are useless. When I requested them to clean the table they suggested me not to sit on that table. Was forced for take away as outside sitting was surrounded with ample mosquitos. Can't afford to have dengue in this season. All reviews appears to bogus on Google or by people who don't have work place and enjoy sitting there by occupying the seats whole day with single cup of coffee.Thanks Third way for spoiling my sunday evening.

I had the worst experience at the Versova Third Wave outlet. I paid the bill, but their machine did not generate the payment slip. The payment status showed as completed, and the amount was deducted from my account. However, they told us that the payment was not received and that it might get reverted within a few minutes. We had our meal, and while leaving, we again confirmed whether they had received the payment or not. Their team said they still hadn’t received it and asked us to pay again if we were leaving. They assured us that if the amount did not get reverted within 24 hours, they would provide a meal worth the same amount since the issue was from their end. We agreed, paid again, and left. We waited for 24 hours, but nothing happened. When we contacted them, they asked us to wait for 7 days. We waited for 10 days and revisited the place, but their behavior had completely changed and was very nonchalant. They asked us to bring a printed bank statement from that day until the current date. I have one question: if the payment was completed to their bank, can’t they check the status from their end? If there are trust issues, that should be handled internally. Another thing is that for ₹738, sharing my full transaction history and detailed bank statement with a café felt excessive. I’ve made some critical and large transactions from that account, and I’m uncomfortable sharing personal financial details. One more point I want to mention: while we were placing the order and making the payment, another customer was in a hurry. The person taking orders processed her payment immediately after ours, and both transactions were handled in parallel. I believe this issue happened due to poor management. That café is not close to my place, and traveling there again just to check the payment status is not worth it. The owner mentioned that this is a very generic issue and has happened with other customers earlier. This does not sound acceptable. If this is a known issue, they should fix it instead of letting customers suffer. Avoid this place if you can.Read More
