Glad I found this place. The food and coffee were delicious. Service was very attentive. I was there at an odd time don't was slow and I can't speak to how busy or loud it might get. I look forward to coming back to try more things.
I've been rockin out brunch here for a few. Staff is lovely. Space is solid and cleanly. Great for one-on-one meetings and groups. Eggs benny, to omelets to over easy- tastiness them all. There's a sourdough bread option. There's WiFi for when you want to work solo. They've fun bar high tops and booths. Their table side haute sauce is tasty being vinegar forward. Love their fresh squeezed juices. Excellent coffee options. I see a lot of pancakes and carafes of mimosas ordered here. Alt milks? They got 'em. Parking in the retail lot. Enjoy!
We chose Awake because it was close to our son's apartment and had good reviews. Honestly, when we walked in it didn't seem like much and wasn't t busy at 10 am on a Sunday. That changed with the service which was really good. I started with a hot latte and it was good but too small. I needed it to be bigger. Tasted good though. The four of us had some good choices. I opted for the spinach bacon mushroom omelet and a side of grits. They both were good and I'm very particular about my grits too. Finished the whole plate. The crab cake Benedict was good and they also like the deluxe egg sandwich. Overall a really nice experience and I was impressed that the prices were reasonable.
Phenomenal breakfast spot. Originally tried going to another brunch spot but the wait times was way too long, so happy we stumbled upon this place. The food here was incredibly tasty. I ordered the huevos rancheros with a side of gritz- this dish was easily the highlight of my meal. It's consists of chorizo, refined beans, a floured tortilla, sour cream, avocado, etc. the point is it was delicious. The gritz were also a pleasant surprise- they were cooked way better than I was expecting. I also ordered a single pancake. The portion was huge. I couldn't finish the whole thing but it was quite tasty. I really enjoyed my breakfast here. It was amazing. I broke my diet to eat here and I have 100% NO REGRETS!
I wanted to come to Awake this morning because some local Yelpers who I respect came here and said it was pretty good. I like coming to places early on Sunday mornings to avoid the craziness of many breakfast places. When I walked in I immediately sensed a nice pleasant atmosphere and ambiance. It's pleasantly warm and welcoming. The music is not overly loud and while upbeat, is pleasant. There is a flat panel displaying underwater ocean scenes adding to the relaxing vibe. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and chose potatoes as my side. My eggs were slightly overcooked, as a great Benedict's yolks run when cut into. The English Muffin was not as fresh as I would have liked either. The ham used was delicious. The overall taste of the dish was pretty much on. The potatoes were good as well. Rolando my server did a great job. He was attentive and engaging.
Breakfast is my favorite meal the day. And I'm an eggs, Benedict lover connoisseur all of that stuff. It took us a long time to get our seats. Not because they were busy because they just seemed like they might've been a little bit unorganized. The food was good because we were so hungry. The eggs Benedict was a 6.7 Breakfast for two 40 coconuts
BEST Blueberry Pancakes EVER! Great overall experience. This spot has a nice, clean, chill vibe to it; it's couple or family friendly. The staff are friendly and attentive. I ordered the Blueberry Pancake with Turkey Sausage and Egg Whites. This large 10" blueberry pancake has to be the best I have ever had. It comes with a blueberry compote that elevates the taste even more. I'm shocked at how good it tastes without being overly sweet and syrup is not necessary for this one. The turkey sausage was pretty good, too! I cleaned my plate out and didn't feel bad about it. I left feeling content. Side note: they have this Kale Kicker that's worth a try! And no, it doesn't taste kale-y.
Atmosphere: Located in a little strip mall, Awake is a bright cheery spot to have breakfast. 1 Star Service: I was welcomed as soon as I walked in and allowed to sit wherever I pleased. My waitress was quick to my table and never left me wanting for anything. She did her job as if she actually enjoyed being there. 2 Stars Food: I wasn't overly adventurous this morning, so all I ordered was an omelette. The omelette was their signature "Awake Omolette." It came with sausage, smoked ham, bacon, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, and jack and cheddar cheese. Supposed to come topped with sour cream, but I opted for salsa (which was good) on top of mine. You also get your choice of side and an English muffin. I got the potatoes, which were well seasoned and crispy. The muffin was perfect. 2 Star
I hate to admit the hype people have given this restaurant baffles me. We had passed it a couple of times and it always seemed to be packed. I finally decided to try it out after a coupon was given to give them a try at a discounted price. To be fair their cost for an average breakfast is very affordable but still not worth the expense. My beverage of choice was the KALE KICKER $5 Fuji apple, kale, cucumber, and lime blended in- house daily. - The drink was very fresh but a little overpriced, but the rest of their other beverages were all close to the same amount if not more. MEDITERRANEAN FRITTATA $11.29 An open-faced, egg white omelet filled with all-natural chicken, house-roasted tomatoes, Mozzarella and Parmesan. Served with dressed greens and an English muffin. (540 Cal) - This meal was so bland, my frittata did have maybe one tomato and a small spoon of chicken in the center. I made it halfway and gave up, and that's when I discovered "Oh there is chicken in this!" I'm not sure where they think this frittata is mediterranean nothing of flavor or spice was added to just the plain fried egg. The greens were just arugula with a simple vinaigrette at least the greens were fresh, but not impressed after the frittata fail. CHICKEN & WAFFLES $13.00 My other half had the saddest chicken tender meal I've ever seen! The breading was thin but not seasoned but at least it wasn't overcooked. The waffle was doughy, people do like that, I wasn't a fan, he was. My favorite part of both of our meals combined was the gravy he was given! That was good for sure and had a homemade flavor quality to it. Overall, our meal was given at a discount thanks to the coupon BUT not a fan of the bland and lower quality food. The environment was neatly organized and had some cutesy appeal. The staff was super friendly. - another downside, was the cleanliness, one of the mugs provided on our table still had lipstick stains from a previous customer!
So service was good, at least with my server. Especially with me being solo, often you'll find they don't really pay you much attention, however mine was very attentive to me despite me being just one person. Love that! She suggested the Monterrey Benedict, which was really good. The potatoes were a little mediocre as they lacked flavor and seasoning, and seemed to be a little undercooked (they weren't as brown and crispy as I prefer). Nothing a little ketchup and hot sauce couldn't fix! The pomegranate mimosa was mostly champagne, so no complaints there! LoL Overall I'll be back since it's right near my apartment but not rushing here with friends or anything.
This was the most okay-est breakfast place I've been to in the area, but maybe it was the time of day I went. It kind of looked like diner meets Pinterest aesthetic. It was empty in the restaurant except maybe two or three other tables there, it just felt awkward and unwelcoming. And the server (don't remember names) was very plain, cut, and dry. I ordered the crab cake Benedict because I'm obsessed with trying all sorts of benny's, but this one was not it. I love crab, but not imitation crab and I should have chosen something else. I mean, it wasn't awful, the eggs were poached very nicely. It just tasted especially fishy. I'm not opposed to visiting again and trying more things another time though, just this time was not a hit for me.
We came here over the weekend to have a brunch date. It was honestly a little subpar. The food wasn't hot, just lukewarm, so it didn't taste super fresh. We both got benedict's with potatoes as the side and the potatoes were not crispy, more on the mushy side. The french toast with fruit tasted stale and kinda hard. The frozen peach cocktail drink they had was good in flavor and refreshing though, prob the best item we ordered. Service was attentive and inside is really cute, clean, and modern but maybe they just had an off food day.

This place is tucked away in an area that I always drive by but didn't pay attention to but I know now it's a place worth stopping at. The service is great, the food is good and it has an old-timely charm. California Frittata- My frittata was good and just as my waitress described it to be. It came in a good size dish still steaming hot and included artichokes (my fave!), tomato, mushrooms, chicken, pesto, garlic and olive oil. It came with an english muffin that was warm but you can get toast instead if you like. It also came with a side of country potatoes which were seasoned well but you can have grits instead if you choose. Crab Cake Eggs Benedict- My friend ordered this and I tried it. Good but could've had much more crab in it. It also comes with choice of grits or country potatoes but no toast/english muffin. They put plant of hollandaise sauce on top and the egg was poached well. My waitress was very nice and attentive. She forgot to bring us a few items but she checked up on us in the right amount of time that she quickly returned with items she forgot. It's hard to find the nice balance of how frequently customers want to be interacted with I imagine and she was great at it. The interior is like an old southern house with these wooden chairs you picture from old western films, wooden floors and even a sectioned off area with walls all of wood. I wouldn't decorate like this for any reason but in this restaurant it just worked for some reason. I will be returning again. read more

The egg & I was a cool brunch spot. I had the healthy chicken avocado egg white omelet. It was good. If you want a low key good diner type place, then this place is cool. read more

Great place for breakfast. The eggs Benedict selection is always very tempting but today I chose a spinach bacon and mushroom omelette. They have such a variety and it's always good. The service is terrific. Friendly staff really does make a difference. The ambience is country kitchen. read more

My husband and I are visiting from out of town and this was our first time here and we loved it! Many great aspects, genuine kind people, great customer service and the food was yummy! I'm a stickler for cleanliness and this place was so clean! It's a must for breakfast. I have the Wisconsin scrambler, try it! read more

We had a wonderful breakfast here. We found that $7 for the apple pancake to be a little high priced however it was very good. I had the eggs Benedict with sausage instead of ham and it was delicious. He had the Cambridge scramble. He did request for the hollandaise to be on the side and it did not come out like that. But it wasn't worth returning the plate. Overall a good experience. read more

My wife tried this place on a visit to see our daughter. It is clean and a great two sided menu. I got the Colorado scramble and my wife got the Patriot waffle. The food was very good and the ambiance was great until this one kid came in and started talking. The restaurant had to turn up the music to drown out his voice. read more

Wow! This place is definitely the best breakfast in Texas. The menu is absolutely stellar with a lot of options for any palate. I especially love the Bacon avocado Benedict. The service on some reviews I heard was not so stellar but ask for Dj! Hr gave us service we would expect at a high end restaurant. We will definitely be back. read more

Egg egg and I has a very family welcoming environment. This was my first time at this location and the experience was great. The food was awesome song the service was good. We had a large party so that did all that they could to accommodate us. I tried the new kale cooler, and it was awesome. read more

My husband and I have been talking about eating here for awhile so when an $8 off coupon arrived in the mail we decided to give it a try. When we arrived we were surprised how large the restaurant was. The hostess greeted us and showed us to a quiet table in the back. Our server came to use quickly and took our drink order. I was pleasantly surprised how delicious their fresh OJ was and how quickly our food order arrived. My husband choose the Texas skillet and I had scrambled eggs, potatoes (which were one of the best I've had), bacon (perfectly crispy), sourdough break and one piece of french toast. What I really appreciated that the syrup arrived hot. Overall the food was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and the service was great. We will definitely be back! read more

Great breakfast or brunch place! Opens early so to easy to stop by during the week after an early morning workout. I ordered the avocado toast with eggs, it was so simple but delicious! The price point wasn't too bad either. I would definitely go back again. read more
Food was good the wait wasn't too long. I liked the ambiance and service. Would recommend. I would have loved to see lattes added to the menu and the avocado toast should have come with a side (in my opinion). Other than that this place is cool. read more

Good: Location is great. Portions are huge! Reasonably priced. Bad: food taste wise was just ok (under seasoned), food is very Dennys-ish, unspectacular. Took awhile for the server to find me (but once she did she was fantastic made recommendations, answered all my questions, and had a cheerful disposition.) Great job Jamie! Weird/Odd: Maybe this was just odd to me but the GM sat at a table with a customer next to me and had an entire conversation while the man was trying to eat...didn't go to any other tables...I mean he sat there and watched the man eat his entire meal, showed him some posts on his Facebook page, started ranking BBQ spots in Dallas...it was just really odd...not how I'd expect a front of the house manager to behave especially when the other tables were pretty full. Disclaimer: the gentlemen seemed to have eaten there before so there seemed to be some familiarity but still even if I knew the manager no need to neglect other tables while you watch me eat. read more

The wait staff is super nice and the food is just as good. I ordered the BLT and was happy with my choice. My husband got the chocolate chip pancakes, and while I'm not always a huge fan - I could have eaten his entire meal! Everything tasted fresh - as if someone really put their heart into it (as opposed to from a mix somewhere). I would go back over and over again! read more

Service was a little slow to start, but my waitress was fantastic. She narrowed the menu down for me as a first timer at this place. I ended up with the veggie frittata, grits and an English Muffin. Grits we're a little salty. The frittata was average. It was a little small for the price. I'll go with the classic breakfast next time. read more

The food was not as good as we expected it to be which was kind of disappointing. We tried the seasonal monterey bacon and avocado benedict and spinach mushroom omelette, but everything was very soggy and watery. It just tasted like the eggs didn't really go along with the cheese and bread. However, it is still a nice place to try with your family and local friends. Great staff, cozy and quiet environment! read more
