    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!

The ube latte was perfectly sweet with a strong ube flavor. The crème brûlée cruffin had a top that was so crispy from the toasted sugar that I couldn't cut into it, and the bottom was just stuffed full of cream. It was super messy to eat and impossible to share- next time I am getting my own. We also had the pandan coconut cupcake, which was good but not as exciting as the cruffin. The pandan and coconut were both equally strong flavors- I liked it better than my husband did. The Thai tea cake in a cup was also excellent, but outshone by the cruffin. They were out of a few other things we wanted to try by 11am on a Saturday, so get there early if you want something specific. The gentleman running the counter was very friendly and efficient, even when they were busy. Seriously, get the crème brûlée cruffin. I know I will be back for it.

    I hadn't been to this cute and interesting (Vietnamese-French fusion!) bakery for quite a while…read more(looked it up: wow, four years--time flies). My girlfriend was taking a class nearly across the street, so I thought I'd check it out. I was disappointed that they've apparently stopped making crêpe cakes as that was a favorite. There were none in the case and they're no longer mentioned on the Web site. Alas. However, there were lots of interesting items on display. I selected a Strawberry Croissant, a Chocolate Cupcake, and one of the cake cups: Ube Tres Leches Milk Cake. I'd never seen anything like that last item before. The strawberry croissant is filled with fresh strawberries and vanilla cream. I was worried that it might be soggy, but it was crispy, flaky and very tasty. The frosting on the cupcake was chocolate-flavored chantilly cream. This was heavenly. Absolutely perfect. I never contemplated ube plus tres leches. There is a traditional Vietnamese version (ha, you Latin purists!) that uses the flavors of Vietnamese iced coffee, but ube is a new approach. The number of different cultures involved here is making my head spin, but the result was delightful, of course. A mini cake in a paper ice cream cup is also a great idea. More substantial and easier to eat than a cupcake, but still a good snack for one person. Service was prompt, friendly, and helpful. The business faces Colfax Avenue. There's street parking plus a large, free parking lot behind the building. There are a number of tables if you can't wait to get your purchases home and a variety of drinks including Vietnamese coffee, a full espresso bar, tea, and lemonade. Bánh mi and other breakfast and lunch sandwiches are available plus rice bowls. I really enjoyed my purchases. Downtown Aurora is a bit of a drive for me, but I definitely need to make the trip more often.

I'm also a big fan of a dirty chai and the balance that they achieve with their beverages is perfect. Their matcha is definitely one of the big highlights as well and imo is legitimately the best I've ever had in Colorado. Try out the mango sticky rice matcha and you'll be in another dimension! I often go for a walk here from the Anschutz campus across the street and it's well worth it in comparison to the options on campus, nuanced flavor with an aftertaste that keeps you wanting more the next time you can sneak out the office and grab a drink. Staff is very knowledgeable about the quality of ingredients and takes time to help craft you a perfect beverage. I feel welcomed everytime I come through and the mirror by the front door is awesome to snap a lil bev selfie. The space is a bit small but they've built it as efficiently as possible to provide ample seating. I shall keep coming back here until I get another job or die lol.
