The vibe is good, the baristas are top-notch, and most importantly, the coffee is excellent. I particularly like the Americanos and the cold brew.

It's in adorable spot downtown and walkable from the college. They stay open late on Sundays which is rare and was a major perk in my book! The service was nice. They were super friendly and helpful. I cannot wait to go back and try more of their iced beverages---they have so many good options!

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

The ice cream was delicious and I always look for those ice crystals (which are not my favorite and are a sign jt thawed and re-froze). This didn't have that at all and the ice cream seemed fresh but my only complaint is that it was actually served a little warm. Not warm but the freezer could be a few degrees colder. No real complaints and I'd certainly be backed Thank you :)
