Awake cafe has been a favorite of mine for years. The manager John has been an incredible testament of the business leadership here. The staff provides exceptional customer service, drinks are great. I highly recommend this as a go-to spot for a fresh cup.

Don’t consider coffee as food that’s why the five stars for food, the sandwich was delicious but the cortado was a little meh, maybe I was expecting a lot based on previous reviews. I heard someone say their iced lattes are delicious so perhaps I should have opted for that. Otherwise, really awesome place to hang out, get some work done or just read a book. The staff were very nice too.

I loved stopping in here for coffee with my friend. I’ve had it on my list for a while and now I definitely will be going back. The coffee was great, service was friendly and I really liked the handwritten motivational messages on cups. The breakfast sandwiches we ordered were also good and warm. I already recommended the cafe to my friends who are looking to support genuine small businesses in Detroit. Please do the same! You will not be disappointed.
