    Plain Bagel & Snickers Iced Latte
    Jocelyn A.

    This Snickers latte was super sweet, but I absolutely loved it. It was a nice morning treat! The bagel was also a wonderful compliment, and it's hard to mess up a plain bagel. The space was super cute and spacious. It's two stories with tall ceilings and lots of windows bringing in lots of lights. You have tables and couches giving different seating arrangements for reading, hanging out, or working on your laptop. I was there near the holidays during the day, and it was pretty empty making it easy to get a spot and stay for a long time.

    GASP! I never left a review for my FAVORITE coffee shop! My friend first brought me here after an Instagram reel enticed a visit. I have returned many times over after that first visit. GREAT tasting coffee. I take it black so I can enjoy a little sweet treat on the side. It has a second floor and plenty of space. The cafe is very quiet and a great space to read a book or do work. The service is consistently on point. I love this place and their coffee.

    Located in Aurora, Wake & Take is doing it all. Seriously amazing pastries and desserts, delicious coffee, beer, and wine, cozy seating areas, board games, karaoke nights, and even trivia in Russian! So if you're wondering what to do this week, go check them out. Plus, I got to try Ukrainian beer for the first time and it was such a fun surprise, so let's dig in. what I tried: Oat milk latte Kyivske Lager (Ukrainian beer) Apple & walnut strudel Sausage in a blanket Samsa beef pie Chocolate Temptation cake best bites: Everything was great, but my favorite had to be the sausage in a blanket specially since it reminded me of a kolache, and I'll always love that. The chocolate cake was rich and decadent, and the beer? 8% and super easy to drink. That caught me off guard in the best way. Check them out, swing by one of their events, and if you can play the piano... you just might get a free drink!

    I think I really liked this cafe. The aesthetics were calming and reminded me of the cafes in Europe. The customer service was great and the baristas were patient with me as I'd lost my voice. I decided on the hot caramel macchiato and chicken sandwich. The 12oz was a bit small for the price you pay. I'm not much of a hot coffee drinker but decided to indulge due to my sore throat. It was okay, didn't taste much like caramel macchiato but it wasn't nasty. I think I'd have to come back to try it in iced form to see how I really feel about it. The chicken sandwich used sliced deli chicken with tomato, lettuce, cheese, and some sort of sauce/spread. I want to say it was mayo but it had a little more flavor than mayo does. It was pretty mild in flavor, if it had a chipotle aioli it would've been out of this world. I have a love dislike relationship with it because even though not a bunch of flavor I couldn't wait for the next bite. All in the same, however, I wish it did have more flavor. The bread was perfect. It was crisped but not hard and super crunchy so it provided a nice texture contrast and it didn't hurt my teeth.

    Good place to meet up and catch up with friends. I ordered a Hawaiian Strawberries Tea. It tastes much more like dragonfruit and was just an excellent drink on a hot summer's day. The service is courteous and down to earth. They have a pager system and once your food/drinks are ready you will get buzzed. Then you go to the pickup counter to grab your goodies. Also ordered a carrot cake. Other than lacking frosting, the flavors were pretty good. However I probably wouldn't order it again. Wake & Take Cafe is a great spot to meet up with friends, study and/or get your mind in the right mindset to get work done. Would return to try the other pastries and drinks.

    Good coffee place to check out . Staff were super nice and gave me suggestions to different food. I can tell that there was a stage with a piano which is really cool . They might have social hours also which is unique .

    Unique coffee shop featuring European pastries, beer, and more, as well as unique coffee drinks! Cute place to catch up with a friend or get some work done. They have board games and a piano as well. The staff was super friendly and helpful explaining things on the menu!

    The inside of the peach shaped dessert had like a soft biscuit layer

    I checked out Wake & Take Cafe because I wanted to try a new coffee shop. As soon as you walk in, its quite spacious with ample seating. They have a good selection of pastries, breakfast items, coffee and other drinks. We had the beef pie, waffle with creme brulee filling, peach shaped dessert and iced caramel macchiato. I enjoyed the macchiato and the flavor of the meat pie. The pastries were good too but the fillings were just okay. I was excited for the creme brulee filled waffle but the filling did not taste like creme brulee. All in all, I would recommend checking them out. I will definitely be checking them out again.

    They are hands down the best cage I've been to! We went a few times during our weekend of classes and is BY FAR the best find in Aurora. I was blown away the minute I walked in, it is clean, welcoming and one of the most beautiful cafes I've been to. Everyone who worked there was incredibly kind and very helpful with the delicacies in the case to the different kinds of coffee. I wanted to get to know them all! Everything in that pastry case was homemade with love and it is in the taste. My favorites were the Crimean Chebureki, it's the one that looks like a peach in the photos. It is this light but cakey pastry with a pastry cream inside that will blow your mind. My other favorite was the Dubai cake. There are no words for how amazing this melt in your mouth cake is. It's light and airy with a pistachio flavor that brings tears of joy to your eyes. Everything about Wake & Take is well worth the drive! I can't recommend it more!

    I'll give the benefit of the doubt, this just isn't the coffee shop for me…read more I had a long event day in the area, so I decided to beat the traffic and get to this part of town earlier than I normally would. Just wanted a place to work on my computer, and ultimately that's what I got. Enchanted Grounds is a cafe and game emporium. Like for real, they have such a huge selection of games. If you are into that, I truly love that for you! As far as the cafe is concerned, the best part was not paying Denver coffee prices! Only a few bucks for an iced coffee, god bless America. The staff weren't all that friendly or interested in talking to customers. It definitely gives off humble, rainy day coffeehouse vibes and that's not a bad thing. Bright, tacky colored walls, one guy was sleeping in one of the booths, a giant group of 80+ year olds at the big community table, and gamers galore on a Wednesday afternoon. It's low key, wifi was fine, coffee was fine. Nothing stood out for me personally. Considering it's close to an hour away odds of me coming back aren't high. I wish them the best!

    I used to be a huge fan of this place, recomendibg them to anyone on the south side of town. But…read moreunfortunately a recent experience has really soured me on them. For a MtG prerelease with very limited seats, for a set I was very excited for I called early in the week to understand how they handle prerelease events. Per their site, and Per the conversation with their employee, there wer no pre-event sign-ups, and a half an hour before the event they would start registering people. I asked if there was pre-queueing, and was told that happens, so I asked if showing up fifteen minutes early would give a good chance for making the limited seating. What can I say, I was excited. I invited my friends and we were all going to be there early. In total, five of us. Well, as I was pulling up 15 minutes before the event, I found out they had done a sign up, and before they were even supposed to be starting to register folks, they had run out of seats. And the answer to why they did exactly what they had told us they were not going to do? Management decided the night before to change things. I regret having suggested to my friends that we go there for the event. I regret that those friends purchased a draft box at above MSRP from this store in an attempt to save the evening. I regret that they decided to buy beverages there, as our evening had been ruined by Enchanted Grounds' management team. Will I be back? Maybe. Will I trust them on their event descriptions? Nope.
