Cute little cafe! The breakfast options were a bit limited, but the bacon egg and cheese sandwiches…read morewe ordered were great. Made fresh, generous portion, and very tasty. The staff there were very nice and worked hard to get our order to us quickly! There was maybe one table inside, but it was tight. There are several tables on the outside patio, so it's a great spot to sit on a nice day. There are a couple more full service breakfast spots in the area, but Brewed Awakening is a great option when you just want to grab a coffee or a quick bite!

I was driving from Hartford County to Mystic and Yelp-searched for a highly rated coffee shop near…read moremy route. Brewed Awakening stood out as having a good rating and being close to my route. Brewed Awakening does not present as a craft coffee shop focused on bean origins and things like that. It's a small, old school coffee shop, with limited inside place to sit and stand. The space is not fancy. It's more functional. But I'll tell you something . . . almost every usable inch of that space was occupied by people who seemed like long time regulars. Maybe like 5 to 6 people, but people who were happy to be there. The coffee was reasonably priced. The food, included hot dogs, donuts, breakfast sandwiches, classic sandwiches. Also reasonably priced by modern standards. There seems to be a New York connection to the shop because they use Nathan's Hot Dogs and the donuts on the counter came from New York. The woman who I assume was an owner was the only person working. She was very nice and helpful. I suspect she's a reason why they have a loyal customer base. I thought about ordering a hot dog at 8 a.m., but I had food plans in Mystic. I just ordered a Black Iced Coffee. The ice cubes were that thin round tube style with holes on the top and bottom, that you used to see a lot in restaurant fountain soda. The iced coffee itself was about average. If I just wanted a high end black iced coffee, I probably wouldn't return. I would definitely return to check out their reasonably priced food in warmer months when you can sit outside. In any event, if you're looking for a place with a lot of character, Brewed Awakening would be a good choice. It's close to the Route 9 Exit that you take on your way to the Clinton Outlets. 3.5 Stars

I was SO pleasantly surprised by my experience here! A must-try!…read more This place is ran so efficiently but I didn't feel as though we were rushed in any means. It is so home and cozy, seriously the ideal breakfast spot. The staff was super friendly and helpful with questions/allergy concerns. If the weather permits, I'd recommend snagging an outside table. I ordered the Eggs Benedict Florentine with a GF english muffin and was blown away. I can be super picky about my benedicts and was not expecting much at all. The eggs were cooked to perfection, the hollandaise was rich and tangy, and both the spinach and tomatoes were super fresh. Dipping their potatoes in the yolk/hollandaise reminisce was delish. I really made the dishwashers job easier that day, haha. Obviously one needs to get french toast or pancakes for the table. I totally get the hype around this french toast. So thick without being dry, even if you don't go the cinnamon route. Do be warned it's a lot more feeling than you might anticipate, I'd say one person won't need more than 2 slices! Added bonus: really well mixed chocolate milk.

Stopped by Neil's Donuts in Middletown for breakfast after their morning rush on a week day. I was…read morelooking forward to an egg and cheese on a bagel, luckily they had a few bagels left. I also ordered an iced coffee, a blueberry cake donut (my favorite), and a classic glaze donut for my husband. It's a huge debate if Neil's has the best donuts in Connecticut. I personally only like the blueberry cake donut so I'll leave it at that. This location is modernized compared to its original location in Wallingford. It's super clean and has an organized queue because they get very busy in the morning. There are a few seats inside and outside, but most grab and go. Since I wasn't in a hurry, I enjoyed my egg and cheese sandwich while it was still warm in side. It was very delicious and the bagel was perfectly toasted. The iced coffee was much needed and it was alright. I love finding an excuse to visit this Neil's location as I enjoy it more than Wallingford.
