Its appears to be relatively small on the inside but there is plenty of space to sit and enjoy your beverage. There were only two people working behind the counter and they were amazingly efficient. They were also super friendly. My family loved the coffee. They gave it a 5 star rating based upon taste and temperature. We also tried one of their freshly made waffles with blueberries, strawberries and maple syrup. They said it was one of the best they've had. I would definitely consider returning and highly recommend Wake Up Coffee in Brunswick. Cheers

Really long line, but went kind of fast. But wait time for coffee was 20-30 minutes. And people just kept coming. If you are a coffee snob, and you want a top notch coffee... this place is not it. Was scared to try an espresso, so tried cortado, but it was so bitter the milk didn't even help the flavor. The coffee beans smelled really good, and seemed like they had the right beans to make a good coffee, they just don't care enough about how they brew it. But if you like your coffee with some sugar this place is for you!!! I got the vanilla honey cinnamon, at first it seemed too sugary, but second sip tasted good. I would get it again. They have a lot of flavors and fun seasonal options. Didn't realize until later that it's a chain.

The bloody Mary's were tasty, the right amount of spice and a great skewer with a large olive, pickled okra and pickled celery. So tasty! Our lunch was the Georgia shrimp frittata with cheesy grits, Huevos Esplendido and the Back Home sandwich with roasted potatoes. My shrimp frittata was simply amazing-served nice and hot and the cheesy grits were exactly as they should be here in Georgia-creamy and cheesy. Our wait staff was super attentive and friendly. The place is beautifully decorated with some fun holiday deco. Def recommend!

My biggest pet peeve when it comes to a matcha latte is when it's not mixed right. All the powder was just sitting at the bottom. Shaking it didn't even help :/ I didn't even feel like drinking it anymore. The matcha was not strong enough and was very diluted matcha. Will not return to this establishment. The ladies helping at the counter were nice but the drink was just okay. It was a pricey matcha also! I should have waited to just get one at Starbucks! I am a fan of their new strong green matcha that they just got.

We explained how many people we had 5 with one more joining us. Just stared at us and looked confused. Said we could sit at the bar. The place was mostly empty. Asked again about seating and she seemed lost. A member of party asked if we could sit there, and pointed and the hostess states " I guess so" it was the weirdest interaction I have ever had with a hostess. She seemed lost. We were debating whether we should even stay. Overall we enjoyed the visit once we got past the door. Will give them another chance

No one greeted us and no employee was at the register nor in the store portion the whole time we…read morewere there. I guess I wasn't very clear on what to expect after looking at their website before my visit. I much enjoy the Artists' Guild shop at Goodyear Cottage on Jekyll or Glynn Visual Arts on SSI and I had the impression that this would be Brunswick's version of those handmade art stores, but it wasn't. There was a paint-your-prefab-ceramics class going on in the back studio and people gathered around a table in the cafe making a craft or something. I know these are popular with certain people but Build-a-Bear type ceramics are not for me. The store portion is laid out much like an Anthropologie vibe, made to look like everything is precious and "deep." Merch was more crafty than artsy, like Etsy as a shop, with Etsy prices. All artsy-looking commercially produced goods or handicrafts rather than actual art--I saw no OOAK items in the shop, nothing actually handmade either unless the bead earrings were handmade on a loom but again, identical duplicates of them. It seemed like everything had to be a certain matching aesthetic and be a similar BoHo Brooklyn "Beige Mom" style. Brunswick can be diverse for those who embrace it, so the store name "Makers BWK" is a little misleading in that sense. When I think "Southern" + "art" I go to folk art or Gullah crafts, memory quilts, face jugs, etc. I get it if that's too traditional and established for the under-35s, but Brooklyn BoHo? I guess it's a novelty this far from NYC. Also, as you can see in my pictures, there was no coastal art representation for the Golden Isles. Unlike the Artists' Guild shop at Goodyear Cottage on Jekyll or Glynn Visual Arts on SSI, it just seems like there is no sense of locality infused in any of the products Makers BWK had. They mention goods from Haiti online so I appreciate if those are Fair Trade but there was nothing to explain what was local. The craft market candles? The mass-produced sketchbooks? Jewelry, candles, soap, cards, sketchbooks, random snacks... again, not OOAK original art. It is what it is, and good for those who like it. It's artsy craft market stuff. It's just not for me and was frustrating to waste time to visit when online it seemed depicted as actual art for sale.

To start when I pulled up to the place I was so impressed with the incredible vibe of the outside. Beautiful plants. Awesome fountain. Vibrant paint. Just beautiful!! Then you walk in and I was taken back by how beautiful the inside was too. Amazing wood work. Homemade drinks to the left. Great menu straight ahead and then some of the nicest staff I've ever met. I hadn't eaten all day so I was really hungry. I talked with the staff and had them pick me out their two best sandwiches. The beef and the chicken (can't remember the menu names lol) and then got a cup of chili! All of it was amazing!! Finally to close this off.. their story.. they have a little story brochure to the right of the register. Wow!! Such a cool story. I say this with all confidence. This is the coolest restaurant I've been in, in over 1.5 years to say the least. Top 10 ever. Try it! You won't regret it.

I would get it again...but probably won't because I want to try many other dishes on the menu. I had a hibiscus drink that was wonderful. I hesitated to order a dessert but gave in and I am so glad I did. I had the sweet potato pound cake that had a sweet pecan topping that was just the right amount. Oh wow, it was awesome. Parking is out front in a small parking lot so be careful getting in and out. I will Definitely return!!!!!
