Just moved to the area and was so happy to find this gem! They had an amazing selection of drinks! I ended up going with the maple oat latte (which was delicious), but I’m definitely coming back to try their famous Heavenly Cloud Latte next time. The staff were super friendly and helpful, especially since it was my first visit. They made great recommendations and really made me feel welcome. Also, there's a HUGE area in the back that's perfect for getting work done or to have a meeting. Such a cute spot with great coffee!!! Can’t wait to go back!

I went for the 1st time yesterday and it was more than I ever imagined. I wanted to find a cafe that was peaceful but with good vibes and they exceeded that! The set up in the lounge area was cute and hip. I put enough in the meter to stay for an hour and had to add money because ended up staying a hour and a half. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The coffee and food I ordered was delicious and made quickly. I can't wait to go back!! See you guys soon!!

Had the best work & session at Awakening last Thursday 1/8. I loved the matcha hibiscus cloud latte (literally still thinking about it, I can’t wait to have another), and I love the huge space. We went late at night and it was a little chilly. Be sure to dress warm if you come in the evening during the winter. I’ll be back soon 😊

5 stars to all of the above. I appreciated the flexibility of ordering, there are 2 kiosks in the entrance and another next to the drinks (in the hallways). We met up for our book club and the space was comfy!!! I loved their music, I was dancing the whole time I was there. This place not only caters to adults, but to children too. I saw a shelf full of board games and accessible seating like long tables, low (regular) tables along with high tables. The drinks! Wow! I got the lemonade passion fruit! It was delicious! Look no forward to visiting again! I want to bring my daughter, she is on the spectrum and I know she will love it! It’s also very colorful and fun to look around. One more thing :) the books; there are books laid out on most of the tables and I also got some good reads in.

Absolute vibe of a location. Food and coffee are not only delicious but VERY fast, amongst the fastest coffee experiences I've had short of a tall black. Staff is polite, the work and seating area is excellent with lots of seating options and outlets. We will absolutely be back.

Came here for the first time at 6am because thank God they open before that. It’s like a German nightclub to slap you in the face before you know what day it is. The ordering system can use some customization, but the process is easy. The sitting lounge is amazing! I didn’t get to use it but I’ll be back. The (owner?) Bertram was bringing A+ energy and pride. And the drink was literally perfect. Spice and oats and 4 shots of espresso, tailor made to be a warm hug in my stomach. Well done all around.

Had a great time at Awakening. It's a great atmosphere for creatives anyone who wants a great place to work and vibe out. I was not expecting the coffee to be sooo good since most cafes are similar to me but the Oatmilk Cinnamon latte was incredible. I give it 5 stars overall! Can't wait to go back!

Stumbled in here before a concert for some quick caffeine and a croissant sandwich. The turkey croissant sandwich was the best out of the two we got including the Italian. The cappuccino was excellent and the vibes of this place were definitely there. If I brought my laptop here to work it would be so perfect wish they had this where I live. There were a lot of cool people there, overall a neat vibe.

I was looking for a new cafe with good energy that wasn’t too far from my area. Awakening definitely woke me up as soon as I walked in, I was greeted by colorful lights and upbeat music. I ordered a black bean breakfast wrap and the hibiscus cloud lavender haze latte. Overall, I left feeling satisfied and in a great mood. The wrap was tasty and my drink was delicious ☺️ (I suggest that you order it with almond milk). I’m only here for a short time but I plan to stop back in before I leave to try the Ghirardelli mocha latte!
