Excellent!! I had a moist & delicious gluten free muffin ( coconut pineapple) that the owner made herself! I so wanted to buy a couple more for the road but was afraid they wouldn’t make it home! My smoothie was so good as was my coffee & my daughter loved her caprese sandwich & hot cocoa. Can’t wait to go back & show this quaint spot to my husband!

Amazing coffee and super friendly staff! We already loved stopping in Saluda for lunch or to let the kids play in the park. One more reason to come into town, this cozy coffee spot will definitely be our new “go to”.

Super cute cafe with great food. I went for lunch had the chicken salad sandwich which was really good. They also have wonderful pastries, cookies and muffins. The space isn't large but they have plenty of seating for small groups of people. Owners and staff were super nice. Offers a great small town vibe.

I’ve been here couple times before and had a good experience however this visit was not pleasant . I brought my own 12 oz cup and ordered cappuccino with oat milk. I was charged $6.25 which seemed quite expensive price considering normally a cappuccino is between $4.5 - $5.5 max, even in pricey Santa Monica. So when I asked the cashier for the reason she said because we add an extra shot, I was wondering why? Cappuccino should be with 2 shots anyway why would you charge extra? It really bothered me and it didn’t sound right considering my friend ordered an Americano with two shots and was only charged $3.50. The unpleasant part was the owner ‘s attitude when I asked about the pricing. He mumbled something like I will have to check. His response never came.
I won’t come back and I don’t recommend.

Wakey Monkey never disappoints! They have incredible lattes and make their own syrups. The pastries are also amazing, I could eat a whole case of them apple tarts. Most importantly the owners and staff are the sweetest most caring people. Support local and try this place out!

Super friendly and kind staff. Beautiful space. Great coffee and drinks. For a sweet drink try anything with the honeybun flavoring. Open Sundays. Go visit Saluda. Even if you're just doing a pitstop between Asheville and Charlotte.

Excited for a new find in Saluda. Unimpressed with level of quality. Service was excellent, atmosphere fine, decorated nicely, single bathroom.
Espresso, medium roast, weak pull. Coffee, dark roast, not good. Iced latte, homemade honey syrup, whole milk. Subpar.
Out of croissants,, offered focaccia read as an alternative. Seems a bit pricey for type of sandwich.
So delicious, beautiful place, and friendly! The Choco croissants were great, but by flavor they seem to be vegan/made with coconut oil, a lot of coconut oil. When people aren’t used to eating a lot of coconut oil it can have a laxative and cramping effect, which ruined half the day for the two of us that ate the Choco croissants. We used to use coconut oil a lot (in coffee) but haven’t in a few years. Maybe put a warning on those or let people know what they’re made with? Otherwise delicious coffee, my daughters loved their pastries and it’s rare that the pastries are so good and freshly made at a small local shop!
