★★★★★ 5.0 Dee · Feb 2026

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!

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.

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 😊

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!

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.
