“So much to appreciate about this place. They do take a long time to prepare, but just a little bit of recyclable packaging, the fresh clean air in the space, and the absolutely beautiful presentation of the drinks really make it feel like a special visit. Awesome seating too! Really cool, and comfortable chairs. I would suggest adding a curtain in the back to cover the office/storage etc. Otherwise, really cozy and cute!”

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!”

The service is always wonderful, and the Cowabunga Smoothie is one of my personal favorites. Everything they serve is made with natural, organic ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about a bunch of ultra-processed stuff going into your body. It’s refreshing to find a spot that focuses on quality while still making drinks that taste this good. It’s always a great choice when you need a quick energy boost to keep your day going. Highly recommended.”

Ashley was truly attentive and very kind and always kept a smile on her face. This was our first time at this restaurant and I will truly be coming back. She was genuine and sweet and we had a bigger party. She didn’t complain or get upset with us while we were being indecisive. The manager Geo and her even went out their way to pick up ketchup for us. Geo was very professional and helpful. They made this breakfast a memorable moment.

“I always judge Café by espresso! Espresso out very well, It was full bodied, tasteful and layered. It was all and all a good espresso shot. It may have been slightly over extracted- but it wasn’t too bad, especially comparing other cafés where it’s majorly under extracted and taste like an entire lemon was steeped in it. I encourage you guys to keep up the good work and test your espresso daily”
