We visited Brewed Awakening while briefly visiting Vermilion. The drip coffee was served yourself…read moreand despite letting staff know we were staying we were given disposable cups. The drip coffee cup seemed to be foam. The coffee itself seemed weak. I am one of those people who prefer to drip coffee out of a mug. The coffee shop was busy and it is located in the downtown area. The coffee shop offered a decent amount of seating and activities for children. Our visit to Brewed Awakening was unremarkable.

The atmosphere is cozy and the young woman that took my order was quite friendly and alert. I ordered food, a baked good and tea. The food was great. The bacon, egg and cheese croissant sandwich was filling and the chocolate chip cookie was delicious. I ordered peppermint tea, which was also tasty. The only negative thing I have to say, is that I had assumed because they had loose-leaf tea, the tea would be served in a teapot. Instead my tea was served in a to-go cup. That was disappointing, as I was hoping to sip out of a tea cup. I know, completely fussy, but wanted to mention it in case anyone else had the same assumption that I did. Overall I would recommend this as a place to gather and do work. They are quite family friendly as there is a kids' table.

The pastelillos: beef, chicken, pork were excellent. Packed with meat and seasoned up so you could enjoy them plain or dress them up in a sweet and spicy island sauce. The rice and Mac salad were plentiful alongside our smoked pork ribs. We devoured the dinner and got a second round of pastelillos. I failed in the ok tire taking category because I was too hungry, my apologies... I will do better. For the time being, she indicated they will be doing 1 entree a day Wednesday through Sunday. Call ahead to see what she has! It's going to be good, but I'd hate for you to arrive looking for a robust menu, only to find the simplicity of a single offering :) The island coffee rounded out our lunch and prepared us to conquer the world. Cafe au leche. What a treat!!! I'm only the 2nd Yelp review? That boggles my mind, as I now consider this a must stop.

First, our Server was new and when asked what beers were "Seasonal" as listed on the menu and we're told there is an apricot ale and no other beers other than what's on the menu. I had to go to the bar to find out what other beers were available and found many others. Other than not knowing what beers, our server was very pleasant and delivered food quickly. Food was served warm and fresh. Baby back ribs were Excellent and not overcooked or reheated. Almond crusted fish was crunchy and thin, very disappointing for $22. Overall restaurant was clean and good atmosphere with a beautiful patio overlooking the boat docks.

Amazing spot in the river front in Lorain. Coming from a foodie town like Portland Maine (where…read moreI'm almost positive they got their name and logo from, Shipyard brewery, I see you). Growing up in Lorain I always hoped for nicer restaurants with more creative menus and ingredients. This place gets top marks in my book. The beer is flavorful, the menu is relatable but trendy, and the service is friendly. Also, for social distancing, the sheer size of the place makes it easy. Every time I go home to visit the family, I'm sure to swing by here for a pint and walleye sandwich or cup of French onion soup.
