Although I am done for that vibe all year long and clearly the popularity of Perkatory proves I am not alone. Even being later in the day this place was busy with lots of groups hanging out enjoying the space. Being a coffee roaster they had lots of different beans you could take home too which is always a plus. Besides the vibes, the drinks my wife and I got were fantastic as well! Staff were friendly and drinks took no time whatsoever. My wife went an Iced Lavender Latte (w/ Oat Milk) while I went with a seasonal special of the Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte. Both drinks were well made with a good balance of the addition of the flavors and the espresso. Would definitely return for the overall vibes and drinks. If we were local it would be a spot we would frequently visit! Check them out!

Very hipster coffee shop…read more Came here on a whim, trying to find breakfast spots and had some time to waste before one opened up. So opted for a coffee while I waited. Going inside, it's a bit on the dark side with a man working on a laptop with a large dog in a dog bed next to him. The cashier behind the counter was a bit groggy with the morning, short in temper but helpful. I opted for a simple black coffee of their Brazilian light roast. Coffee was bright and bold. Strong and not watery, but no strong fruity notes I usually associate with a light roast. Very good, and would make a great base in a latte. They do offer lattes but the menu for those required me to look over the man and dog combo which was a bit awkward. It's good coffee but the morning was not favorable for my visit.

Nice location, okay crepes…read more In this location for errands, and opted for a breakfast run. This one offered crepes, and after my last crepe fail I decided to give this one a try as well. There's two entrances to this place. One on the street and one inside the market close by. Walking in, there's a big queue line with 6 menu screens. Tons of options available, leading to a bit of analysis paralysis. Grabbed a regular menu and opted to figure out my order before queuing up. Decided to go for the bananas foster crepe and a spinach feta and mushrooms crepe for the savory check. Also got a seasonal latte because why not? Got a neat little placard to label my table, Then waited for the food to roll in. Was a short wait, but got both crepes and my latte at the same time. The latte was sweet and the flavors of the latte were there. Coffee got lost in the flavors, but it was good enough. The savory crepe was not bad. Good amount of mushrooms and spinach. Not a lot of feta but the flavor was there. Crepe was thin and cooked well. Overall that one was pretty good. The sweet crepe...that was not good. One banana chunked into 1/8ths coated in brown sugar and lumped in the middle. The butter and brown sugar welded to together leading to a hard mass of sugar cementing the large chunks of banana to the sugar puck. This coupled with the fact the toppings were not even distributed across the crepe, led to a lot of plain crepe. For the price, I was expecting better. Flavor wise the crepe was fine and the preparation of the crepe was correct. The execution was lacking quite a bit though, and that was the most annoying part of this endeavor. Overall, it's not horrible but the price for quality is lacking. It's good enough, but pricy.

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 got the small (one scoop) with no toppings and it was about 5$, which is pretty standard for CT. 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 :)
