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.

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.

I love this place. Very unique Israeli cafe. Everything we had was fresh and flavourful. And plus it's the best sabich Iv had since I was in Israel - the egg plant was done RIGHT!

Best cafe I’ve been too in a long time. Friendly staff, filled with locals (and their dogs). Great food and coffee. Exactly what I want for a cozy morning cafe.

Order the Shashuka, you won't regret it! It was topped with a poached egg, salad and delicious tahini! Would love to return to this sweet, quirky cafe. Food, drinks, and treats are made in-house. The outdoor seating is charming, with all the drapery and colors, overlooking their vegetable garden.

So glad we found this place. It’s decorated awesomely, has a great vibe, and is just high quality in every way, especially the people working there. The owner is one of the coolest people we have come across, and is so kind and cool to talk to. Thanks y’all! Tait and Alice.

I am just in love with this place. I just found out last week as I wanted something special for Sunday. My wishes were fulfilled. I tried Shakshuka and the Lax special. Both were yummy. The whole place is just so cozy and friendly.

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.
