Corpus Christi sits within a wider set of coastal places our family came to know while living in South Texas. The Harbor Bridge and USS Lexington give this mug a different silhouette from the island and beach designs, while Coffee Waves connects the artwork to a local counter.
Details in the drawing
The wraparound artwork includes Harbor Bridge, USS Lexington, Selena and Bob Hall Pier. Each is part of the place this mug was drawn to remember.

A gift idea with a real place behind it
For someone who grew up in Corpus Christi, the pleasure is recognition: Harbor Bridge and USS Lexington are specific enough to begin a story. Add a handwritten note about the place you remember together. The mug becomes a prompt for that memory, rather than a generic souvenir.
The shop and the coffee
Coffee Waves first opened in Corpus Christi in 2008 and now serves the coastal region with coffee and house-made gelato. Its site says Nordaggio’s roasts the beans weekly. The Corpus Christi Mug and a stop at Coffee Waves connect the city’s drawn landmarks to an established local gathering place. Read Coffee Waves’s own story for its current coffee offerings.
