First time here! Met a friend for coffee this am. Got a latte and a pistachio muffin. Delish!!!…read more(Not sure why the pistachio muffin needs to be neon green, but it was very flavorful!) great atmosphere inside, people chatting, people working, etc. I was able to sit outside with my friend and enjoy the fresh air. Would love even more chairs outside not that it's getting nice out. Will DEF be back!!

I've come here twice. They have a variety of flavors…read more One time I picked up bagels and then reheated them after being frozen. They were just ok (didn't stick out to me). So I decided to go again and eat one fresh. I highly recommend eating their bagels the same day. It was light, soft, and delicious. I had a plain bagel with cream cheese. I also bought their pumpkin spice latte and did not care for it. Everyone has different preferences though on coffee. I think plain bagels will be my go to here.

This woman had a litany of questions and the clerk behind the counter thought they were at a woman's retreat. After what seemed like fifteen minutes, I left - no bagels. I mention this in a review that ordering process might need to be looked at. A bright young man from Jeff's Bagels suggests I contact the Marketing Team at Jeff's Bagels. Let me suggest this; a customer walks out of your store without your product in hand and indicates there's a problem - now it's the customers problem to solve the failings of the business? I suggest; that's stupid and lazy. Good Luck - got my bagels a mile down the road.

3 stars from me. The coffee is so so. I had a specialty drink called the north pole. The…read morecream/frosting on top tasted like cake. Other than that the base coffee was not impressive. It's a small place, so it gets loud easily. There's no public bathroom so be warned!

A solid ok from me. There is a decent amount of seating at both tables and comfy couches. However,…read more as it is a small spot, noise does travel. There was a loud couple in a tiny area. Pricing is high. My black cold brew was $6. Coffee was only ok. Pricing lost a star from me. There were no public bathrooms. That lost a star for me. I get that they are located near the train station, but we all know what happens after one drinks a cup of coffee. They have a bunch of specialty coffees that appear to change with the seasons. If you like trying new syrups and flavors, check them out for those.

Such a cute bakery. Everything we ordered was Delicious! We will be back very soon…read more We ordered Tiramisu and spring cheesecake. Mango passion fruit tea was so light refreshing. Matcha brown sugar Boba was perfect.

Friendly staff. All the desserts looked delicious. Tons of drink options from Boba to coffee.read more

How did I not know about this place? These folks have been here for twenty six years…read more Cool, comfortable, and lived in. The couple that run this place put their heart and soul in it. It's kind of my new iteration of Quinn's for those of You that remember.

Unfortunately, Brewed Awakening was not my favorite. The menu is a bit overwhelming with signage…read moreeverywhere in shop (and no menu online), so I wasn't aware when I was ordering a latte that adding a flavor would be a whole $1.25 more. They also put my iced latte in a hot latte cup because she said the espresso was hot... which is odd because yes, fresh espresso is always hot. And they didn't have skim milk or oat milk., which are my two go to's. My daughter wanted a scone though, which was the best part! Service seemed rushed (i.e. before I was even done putting my card back in my wallet, she was taking care of the next person by shouting over me), which made me feel frazzled. However, it is just a short walk to the park, which was perfect. Just not sure I would be rushing back anytime soon, which is sad because I love supporting local businesses when possible.

Oh, yeh. This place knows what's up! Awesome vibe in the center of the store offering EXCELLENT…read morecoffee. I ordered a small latte and was VERY pleased at the size of the cup: petite as a small should be! Which means that the large is not unrealistically gigantic like most other coffee spots. People behind the counter were friendly and conversational, which is a plus in times like these where everyone is slow and stupid and mean. Got the chai cake because it is so similar to the autumn spice cakes I remember growing up with on the east coast. Which reminds, the Midwest SUCKS, so this whole little happy coffee experience was very pleasing to me. Ideal. All their homemade take-away items looked pretty incredible, too. No complaints!

We got to the coffee counter with no line and waited 10 minutes before finally catching an employee's attention. We were told he needed to grab a barista even though there were 5 people behind the counter taking people's pastry orders. The barista didn't come for another 5 minutes so we gave up and went elsewhere.

This was our first time at this venue…read more I discovered one thing and confirmed another. This venue is small, intimate and great for listening to live music. (discovered) Matt Nakoa is a star waiting to be discovered. (confirmed). He played at the TWSCH and enthralled the audience. The host made the point that the house is a listening room--much appreciated--and it is. This is a volunteer run space which offers good coffee and some pop, water and packaged cookies.
