We've been trying to come here since they opened but every time we thought of it, it was Sunday when they were closed 😂 We finally remembered this past Saturday. The space is cute and quirky--kind of retro with the old signs, booths, and colors. They have a very diverse menu but I had already decided on my drink before we arrived. It was a random cold day after some spring weather so I ordered the Spicy Coconut Milk Latté after reading another review. It was SO GOOD! It warmed me up inside and was the perfect combination of lightly sweet and creamy. My husband got his usual cold brew and enjoyed it thoroughly. I decided to try their Heaven on Toast with pistachio butter and it was a great snack to start our busy Saturday! We grabbed one of each of their green caffeine drinks (Cobra Verde

Wake Up Iowa Coffee is a local gem offering freshly brewed coffee and a cozy atmosphere. Their selection of handcrafted drinks, from lattes to cold brews, is always delicious. The friendly staff and welcoming vibe make it a great spot to start your day or relax with friends. Highly recommended!

Small local business with great coffee! Took an extra minute to support a local business and I’ll be back. Cortado was great! Also, gluten free egg sandwich highlighted. I didn’t have one but know my sister is always on the hunt for places that get gluten options!!

Stopped at Wake Up to check them out for the first time! The owners were super friendly and taught us a few things about their roasting process. Tried the spicy coconut milk latte and it was nice and warming on a cold winter day!

Small intimate feel. Great employee but that slows the service. But their prep and service is awesome. Worth the wait. You can go look and art and just chill. And then be wowed when your drink comes! I tried the log cabin and egg sandwich. Wife did pumpkin spice and an egg sandwich.
