Ok so I've loved wake the dead for years. It's a San Marcos staple. Atmosphere/environment (both inside and outside) are amazing. My go to place to work or study. Food? Great. Service? ALWAYS on point...My only thing is... The prices have gotten out. of. hand. I mean, I understand that inflation is happening, it's a thing. Everyone talks about how Starbucks is expensive, and I understand that prices at a local shop are probably gonna be a bit more because they have to support their own... And I'll still try and support wake the dead as much as I'm financially able to but it's getting to a point where I don't think I can afford it anymore. At all.The pic below .. that coffee was $8 and some change. For the SMALLEST cup. That's wiiiiild. Truly. .Idk, anyway, I love wake the dead but the prices have gotten a bit insane.

I usually like this place, but the white male Barista that was working around 10AM this Saturday morning, 3/2/24, was condescending, inconsiderate, and damaged my personal property. When our drinks were called out, we could not hear from the next room, so he brought them to us commenting with annoyance "Usually we call out the drinks rather than bring them to customers" as if we were not aware of how coffee shops of this type work. Additionally, he nearly knocked over the table I was sitting at in order to clean the window behind me. The spray bottle he was using for the window must have contained bleach, because when we left, my boyfriend noted that the back of my black shirt was discolored with reddish splotches that were not there when we arrived. Why bleach was being used on a surface typically cleaned with ammonia is also a mystery to me, but THIS is why employees shouldn't be doing cleaning duties within the personal space of customers. The window should not have been an urgent enough task that it could not wait for me to leave that seat. Now I have to invest in clothing dye or throw out one of my favorite garments because of his crass inconsideration.

My mom and I stopped in because we moved into the neighborhood recently and were curious about this place . It was exactly what I had imagined, its a good place for studying for finals and it has a very laid back feel. Big comfy Lounges and nice quiet spots for maybe a party of 2 or just a party of 1 . They also have am outside seating area that is Dog friendly. I order an Iced Chai Latte w a pastry that was like an almond joy but as a pastry w vegan chocolate. It was good, but it just falls apart as soon as u take a bite . Won't get that on my next visit. My mom ordered coffee and she said it was very good , fresh ! She ended up buying us a bracelet each , they have a little section for hand made jewelry and it was very pretty . Reasonably priced as well. The girls that were at the counter and register were very welcoming and had good vibes .Wheelchair accessibility: They have wheelchair access and handicapped parking available .
