I went here once and there was a lot to see. The ambiance is perfect for studying and an afternoon gathering with friends. There are plenty of games and good places to sit. The service was very kind, I enjoyed talking to the baristas that shift. As far as my drink, I got either a caramel or a tiramisu latte I think. The coffee quality is just not there for me. It wasn't to worst and was most definitely drinkable, but I'm just spoiled in the Ann Arbor area with the coffee we have there so the bitterness and tinge to the coffee they had there stuck out to me. Regardless, I would definitely come back and try something else or something none coffee related! read more

Great place to have a chat with a friend! Plenty of parking, lots of tables and seating, and lots of things to choose from the menu! I had a hard time choosing between the lavender honey latte, strawberry peach tea, and a fruit smoothie. They ran out of tea for the strawberry peach tea so I got a small peach mango smoothie! It was DELICIOUS!! It was a hot day and my friend and I sat near the window and I felt it got a little warm after awhile. The AC is on but not strong enough. So prob better to sit in the middle if you need cooler air like me. read more

I was in the area for business and decided to stop here for lunch. I was pretty impressed. The servers were very nice and the service was very quick. My sandwich and coffee were delicious.

Such a nice place to have a little break at. Very cozy and warm. Everyone that works there are always so friendly. Gets busy most days during lunch hours because they have some of the most tasty sandwiches. read more

Comfortable and bustling local cafe. I had the Monterrey Panini for lunch - it was loaded with flavor, the best sandwich I've had in a while! Specialty coffee (Milky Way with oat milk) was delicious and less expensive than a chain coffee shop. Friendly and attentive staff. read more

Brewed Awakenings is Saline's "it" destination for coffee and IT is a pretty darn good thing! Brewed Awakenings is housed in a strip mall across from the Walmart and near Saline high school. In the early hours, teens flood in before school for their fancy coffee drinks, followed mid-morning by groups of veterans, mothers, and the like who gather to socialize. The vibe is comfortable with lots of seating, although it can become quite loud when filled with guests (or noisy kids). I am a fan of their brewed coffee and lattes, but the real standout is their food! Everything that I have tried from breakfast and lunch meat sandwiches to coleslaw have been super tasty! My parents live on Brewed Awakenings it seems when they visit from out-of-state, and also say that the soups are great! They also offer a wide array of baked goods. read more

Love the breakfast sandwiches (Rise & Shine) and the friendly atmosphere! Plus the pun rocks make me smile. Brave the construction to support a wonderful local establishment with a clever name! Totally worth it! read more

Still great. Tons of seating. Friendly, homey, community atmosphere. Family-run small business. Update: They have a notice right now near the register that they're raising prices August 1, but the price of everything has gone up since they last priced things and it is more than overdue. Parking is still somewhat limited and torn up due to construction on the property out-lot, but that's not this café's fault at all. read more

Brewed Awakenings Cafe - Soup and salad combo, plus fruit cup. Chicken salad (salad), and chicken noodle soup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saline, Michigan

I always look forward to making the drive to Saline for errands because it means I can hit up Brewed Awakenings for some great coffee and a scone or muffin or a sandwich if it's lunchtime. This trip I had a soy vanilla latte but next time I might try one of their summer specials, a honey lavender latte. The coffee is excellent and so are all the sandwiches, wraps and baked goods but what really makes Brewed Awakenings special is their commitment to community. They make their place a great spot to hang out and meet up for small groups or a go-to to get away and study or work (there's wifi and plenty of space to spread out and separate). Find a sunny spot next to the big windows in summer or cozy up next to the fireplace in winter. There are often fliers tacked up about local events and they consistently collect goodies for military care packages. read more

I never would have known about this adorable cafe hidden in a strip mall off of Michigan Avenue if not for Yelp. Lots of indoor seating, WiFi, very affordable coffee drinks, a local authors corner with books and some other gift things available that support Saline organizations or schools. Not sure if anyone ever plays the piano in the corner but it's clear this is a business that is invested in its local community. This is my new go-to for working when I need a break from the home office! read more

Brewed Awakenings Cafe - Counter of coffee shop with tables - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saline, Michigan

My favorite local coffee shop! The baristas are so friendly, the environment is cozy and welcoming, and the coffee is phenomenal. Pastries are baked fresh daily and are to die for. 100% would recommend! read more

My husband and I went in a few minutes before the cafe closing to kill time while waiting for our daughter to get out of a movie. As a RNY patient who can't drink whole milk or sugar, I was thrilled to find that they had hazelnut sugar free syrup, so I ordered a skim milk sugar free latte, and an oatmeal cookie for my daughter to go. Unfortunately it was definitely not what I received. I watched the young lady with pink hair pour regular vitamin D milk in the mug, and it did not taste like the torani sugar free syrup that I have on my counter. I had my husband try it to verify, which he said didn't taste like sugar free syrup, either, but maybe the coffee covered up the aftertaste. (He only drinks regular coffee.) I had him go ask to verify they used sugar free, which she stated she did. After getting sick after I got home, I can verify that it probably wasn't. It's my own fault for not having her remake it - she stated to my husband she would, but I trusted it was in fact sugar free, and I didn't want to have to wait since we had to pick up my daughter. If I ever go back, I'd probably just get regular coffee. It is a cute little spot, and isn't too far from work read more

Brewed Awakenings Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saline, Michigan

I always enjoy going to Brewed Awakenings. It is a convenient stop for us on the way to or from the airport. The coffee here is good and my wife particularly enjoys the flavored coffees they offer. The food is actually very good as well, as we often have dinner or lunch here. Their soups are excellent, particularly the mushroom brie. The sandwiches are likewise tasty and there is a very good selection from which to choose. I particularly like the Delizioso. The atmosphere is very relaxed and casual. The dining area is a pleasant place to sit, eat, drink and surf. They have occasional open-mic nights with local talent for those looking for something more lively. The prices are quite fair and the staff are very pleasant. It is worth a stop if you are in the area and want a coffee and/or a light bite. read more

Adorable. Needs some more comfy, attractive outside seating. But inside is so nice. Tasty everything. Friendly service.

Gazpacho is good; service is fair. Location is nice and I alike the community involvement.

This is my favorite, go-to lunch spot in Saline. Everyone is always friendly, the service is quick, and the food & drinks are yummy! I've had a variety of their special lattes and an a big fan of their chai. My favorite sandwich is, hands down, the Niccolo; the pesto is some of the best I've ever had. Just thinking about it is making me salivate! Thankfully, I'm waiting for my sandwich to be made while I write this. Don't forget to pick up a punch card! After purchasing 14 drinks, you get a free one (Max $4.40 value, which at least covers a small of any type of beverage). On top of everything else, they also have local crafts for sale - jewelry, candles, books... so fun to browse it all! read more

If you're looking for a good cup of tea or coffee, a fresh, delicious pastry, a hearty sandwich, or a delectable bowl of homemade soup, THIS is the place to go! This locally owned cafe knows what we want and they deliver every time! Their cold and hot coffees and teas are to die for. The hot chai latte is fabulous! And the soups...wow! I can't wait for Monday's to roll around and indulge in a bowl of their Mushroom and Gruyère soup. Stop in, say hi to the friendly and professional staff, and prepare for your tastebuds to sing the hallelujah chorus! You won't be disappointed! I guarantee it. read more

Place is my Go To. I will be saddened when the jerk landlord ends it. Great coffee, great service!

I met a friend here for a little conversation and coffee. I did not even know it existed. It sits in a little strip mall near the edge. It is a cozy spot. There is an area to sit by the fire place and plenty of tables to sit at. There are a variety of different coffees, sandwiches and pastries. The staff is cordial. I will plan on visiting again in the future. read more

I always enjoy stopping in here when I go on a Walmart run nearby. They have a nice selection of homemade baked goods, and my favorite so far the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. I usually go for a make your own Sandwich which is nice to have the flexibility to get what you'd like. They make it fresh hot or cold and although I would say usually always very skimpy on the meat, it is still tasty and nice to know it's fresh and to support a small business read more

Nice overall with a display of local artists and a reputation for being active in the community. But my food was so oversalted, or something, that I only ate half of it. And with just ten customers plus the counter noise, it was loud with conversations understandable two tables away. If i were with another person wanting to chat I wouldn't come here, sadly. read more

As of today we would not come back. Greek salad was very skimpy, not much lettuce. Chicken salad salad sandwich was light on the chicken salad. We had enjoyed it in the past but now the prices have gone up & the servings much smaller. read more

There is live music at Brewed Awakenings on Monday nights. I knew that, but never had a reason to be there on a Monday night until the DSL went out at our house. Hubby and I were the only two with laptops, trying to get work done. The rest were all sitting with their chairs turned toward the fireplace and the musician. We enjoyed songs from several people, one at a time, mostly on acoustic guitars amplified with a sound system. (It was a little loud at peak moments, to my sensitive ears.) They played a combination of familiar and original tunes. One man played the upright piano. Hubby said, "I wonder if it'll sound like an old west bar piano." Hey, that's what uprights sound like. He's used to his mom's baby grand. ~~~ The chai latte was my fave, until I tried my girlfriend's fave ... a peach iced tea made by Erika. Intense peach flavor, low in calories, and made quickly from a peach Bigelow tea bag. Erika rocks! read more

Nice, quiet place to enjoy a cup of coffee and some light fare. Lots of folks running in and out for coffee. Nice, homey atmosphere. Old ladies like to come and yak it up. Socializing! read more

Very relaxing atmosphere, highly recommended for a early morning coffee. their scones are flavorful and go great with many varieties of their coffee selection. read more

Great local neighborhood spot for coffee and snacks. The staff are always super friendly and prompt. They make all the popular drinks and do it very well. Reasonable and affordable prices along with a clean, warm environment make this a wonderful rival to the big chain coffee shops. read more

This local coffee shop is sooo worth supporting! I was only in the area for two weeks and my time spent there most mornings was awesome. They're family friendly but not loud. They're cool and hip but not stuck up. They allow so many good causes and local businesses to come and promote themselves and they seem like they're always raising funds for something worthwhile! You can tell that this business really cares about the community to which it belongs. The quiche was always great too and I appreciate the complimentary water on those hot days. read more

I stopped in here to get a little coffee because someone else in the house had more than their fair share that day - I won't name names. I ended up getting a pumpkin spice latte. The service is excellent, but the latte was just a little too sweet for me. I would get it again in a pinch, and definitely sit back and relax in the shop. It's not as warm as I'd like, but overall I could easily hang out and waste some time here. They let me try their soup - and it's quite delicious (in fact amazing - especially if you like mushrooms). The parking seems pretty good - though I really wasn't there during what I would expect to be the busy hours. Overall nice edition to the Saline area - as they don't really have a great place to get coffee. The other nice thing is that they sell both ground and whole-bean coffee. I am glad that they are there to help me w/ my love of coffee. Many thanks... read more

The food is overpriced and not that good. Don't go in there wearing an atheist t-shirt - you'll get the stink eye from stem to stern. Turns out, they're not friends of Dorothy (a.k.a, they don't like rainbow flags) either. I've been told they're holy roller christians, and I've seen the attitude first-hand. read more

I had the Sausalito sandwich which was decent (turkey cheese sandwich), which came with lays chips. Haven't tried but heard the Italian rustic and vegetarian were alright. I wouldn't come back for a sandwich but in a catered event setting it's fine read more

I have taken many of my breaks at this place and I really like it. I really like the food and the coffee is good but they are a little expensive. I got a salad one day that was almost $7 and when it came out to me, I was a little shocked to see how small it was. It was almost a little small for a side salad. I wanted another because I wasn't full at all but didn't want to pay that much. Great atmosphere and staff is pretty friendly most of the time. Bathrooms were very clean. Staff friendliness - 4/5 Selection of menu - 5/5 Price and value - 3/5 Food taste and quality - 4.5/5 Atmosphere - 5/5 read more

I hate to put such a low score, but the panni and breakfast sandwich my wife and I got were just not good. The drinks were OK, but not excellent. Very friendly staff, but just not worth $7 for the sandwiches. read more

Great local coffee shop! The coffee is okay, I can't remember the brand but it's decent enough. The service and food are great! The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The scones are divine, I cannot resist them no matter how hard I try. Salads, soups and sandwiches are all great all well, everything tastes very fresh. Their prices are a bit high but I'm willing to pay a little more for great food and service! read more

Love coming to Brewed Awakenings for coffee or lunch. They have a great variety of gluten free items from a local bakery along with delicious homemade treats (with gluten). The owner and employees are always friendly and the atmosphere is so welcoming. Thankful to have this little gem in our community. read more

In from Nashville, a local recommended as "better coffee than Starbucks" - we tried their regular brew, a lavender honey latte and a few of their pastries (they have some baked treasures!), and it was fantastic, speedy and the staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming. We will be making this a tradition! read more

My cookie was delicious and large, and they let me customize my frappe, which was great and not too sweet. The soup clearly had thick homemade noodles, too. I'm not a straight coffee lover, so I really appreciate the variety of ways I can get my caffeine. Though I've not ordered one yet, the sandwiches have many more options than I'm used to in a small coffee shop, and I look forward to trying the build your own menu out next time. My reason for writing a new review is that I'm very pleased with the updated music so far - it really helps the atmosphere! read more

This is my parents' go-to place, so I end up there at least once each visit back to Michigan. The staff is great. They are super friendly and go out of their way to anticipate and accommodate their regulars. I am a tea drinker, so it's tough to really rate their barista skills since putting a bag in hot water isn't too complicated. They have a decent tea selection though. There is a TON of space with big tables and a variety of chairs, so it's a pleasant place to sit and do a little reading or work. They've also catered at my parents' place at least once. They made some great egg casseroles for my brothers' post-wedding brunch that were super tasty, the server was way fun and attentive, and from what my mom said, they did it all super cheap. Keep up the good work, Saline! read more
