    Mushroom pastry
    Shari D.

    Absolutely love coming here! This location replaced a boba shop..what a major upgrade. This is one of my favorite coffee shops, and I've been to a lot. Parking is not hard. Inside vibe is modern and chill. There is WiFi available and a couple tables for studying/working. Also an area to chill and enjoy your drink. I've tried a couple of their drinks my favorite is the Dirty Thai tea. It's Thai milk tea, condensed milk, espresso, and coffee jelly. Sometimes I get an extra shot of espresso. They give you the options of exchanging the coffee jelly to something else which is cool because not a lot of places let you substitute. This drink is so good it's gone by the time I drive home. Service is always excellent, top-notch. As busy as they are you're always greeted with warm smile, even with lots of customers they work fast to get you your order. Love the efficiency especially when I'm in a rush. This place deserves more than 5 stars.

    Nice little boba shop that also sells coffee (: The ambiance was nice. Inside was spacious with plenty of seating. They also have games so it's a nice spot to sit and hang out for a while. The service was very friendly and they were so attentive. I tried the Tiramiss-U Latte which was one of their Valentine's special drinks. It was a tad bit too sweet for me and I wish I could taste more of the espresso but I still enjoyed it.

    Turkey Croissant - perfectly flaky and really delicious, would order again

    Easy to order, informative barista that helped us make our choices, super cute interior with plenty of seating, and most importantly - our food and drinks were delicious!! Lots of parking, many food options (sweet and savory) and truly a drink option for everyone. So happy we have this in Upland - will definitely be back.

    Blueberry Dream Latte and Honey Oat Latte
    Angelina P.

    Just opened on 1/2/25 and I've gone here back to back! This Blueberry Dream Latte tastes like a blueberry crumble muffin in a cup; DELICIOUS. Came back the following day for a simple Spanish Latte and it was mouth watering. Employees are friendly and the pace is clean, comfy, and relaxed. They have a few games available as well. Support the owners mom at Riceberry Thai also!

    I didn't go in, not sure if they are dog friendly, but there was a small one table seating for two outside. From what I can see from the window, there is seating inside and it was busy on a Saturday morning, but the line moved pretty quickly. I really enjoyed my Spanish iced latte. I got it half sweet. It was very smooth! If I am in the area, I'll definitely be making a stop! Def check it out!

    This is a really cute cafe for studying! The seats are very comfy with padding. There are outlets at most the tables and free wifi. It's not too loud in here and they play non-lyrical music. I ordered their new cinnamon cloud latte with less ice. it's a little on the sweet side but still very yummy. the workers here are extremely sweet too. they brought the drink to my table when it was ready. I would def come back to study!

    Half spinach and half mushroom pastry
    Sandra E.

    Food is delicious; my friend and I shared a mushroom pastry and spinach pastry. Lots of yummy drinks to choose from. Plenty of seating and has a nice, cozy feel; great place to do computer work. Staff was very friendly and cheerful. Look forward to going back and trying other food items

    Coffee & matcha
    Sabrina D.

    Wow went for the first time on Saturday and we will be back! The matcha and coffee were so good however the coffee isn't too sweet so if you like a little sweeter coffee I'd ask for an extra pump. Thank you Wake Cafe for being so kind !

    I had just done with an interview and I wanted some coffee after and this place popped up . I saw the high ratings for this place and the aesthetic looked cute so I said why not . When I walked in i was greeted and I scanned over the menu and I was amazed about how many options they had . They had options you wouldn't typically find at a traditional cafe or coffee shop such as a Thai lemonade which included Thai tea and lemonade . I also enjoyed how they have different flavored syrups such as peach mango and even agave . I decided on the ice mocha drink and I got a turkey and cheese croissant and a lemon poppyseed loaf . The drink was really good it had just the right amount of sweetness and the turkey croissant was really good as well . The lemon poppyseed loaf was really good as well . Overall the service at the coffee shop was super sweet and the Gil working the register was so kind . I will definitely make this place a part of my regular coffee shop rotation

    March special: Banana Matcha
    Karina M.

    I'm so picky about matcha and so many places make theirs too milky/weak, too grainy, etc., but Wake Cafe's is so good! It's so smooth! It feels like the kindest people in the world work here. The employees are so helpful and friendly :) There's also a lot of seating for you to sit on and chat, wait for your order, or get some work done. Thank you Wake Cafe for being my go-to!!!

    Wake me up before you go go unless you're planning on going solo! Wake me up before you go go cause I don't wanna miss that high! Boba shop turned cafe and I just have to say it looks like it's gonna stay! I ordered a couple of their drinks that caught my eye besides all the others, LoL. First up was their Nocturnal which was a Hojicha and espresso mix that had a vanilla cream top with honey. Mmm so so good! And I really don't order cream tops! Next was their Night Owl which was a Matcha and espresso blend topped with pink salt and cocoa nibs. Dayuuum! Another winner. Ok so after this I was doing the Jitterbug! Because it put a Boom Boom into my heart and it sent my soul sky high with the caffeine start! The service was good and the shop is super cute with plenty of two seaters. I also dig the logo and all of the little photo op spots. And that's my take on this sweet little cafe, Peace out...

    Cute new(to me) cafe in upland! The decor is super cute. I thought they served food but not sure if it's until a certain time. They have a lot to pick from! They have boba drinks, lattes, teas, and pastries...! Ordered the blueberry latte without the cold foam. The blueberry syrup is definitely made in house because of the clumps of blueberry. I enjoyed it, can't wait to come back to try different drinks!

    Carissa A.

    I have been there 3 days in a row and consistently good drinks! I found my new local fave! So excited to come back for more yummy goodness!!

    If you haven't been to L'moon Creamery yet... consider this your sign…read more I ordered the Trophy Thai cup cream and honestly... I'm not the same person anymore. I've NEVER had Thai tea soft serve this good. It's light, creamy, not overly sweet, and doesn't taste fake--just smooth, legit goodness. Like if Thai tea and soft serve had a glow-up. And the toppings?? They understood the assignment. Coco jelly, cereal flakes, grass jelly, AND boba... it's giving texture, it's giving balance, it's giving "I need another one immediately." I finished mine and sat there like... should I? Because I might. Now let's address the boba. I usually don't even like boba (I said what I said), but theirs?? Warm, soft, perfectly chewy... borderline life-changing. Who am I?? The shop itself is a cute little hole-in-the-wall with a sweet, cozy vibe. Service was fast, friendly, and just good energy all around--no stress, no chaos, just vibes. I genuinely wish they had one closer to me because I would 100% be that person pulling up way too often. Don't sleep on this place. Your taste buds deserve better.

    Love the e creme brûlée topping! Sooo good! Lots of non-caffeine choices and the drinks were good…read more Boba was nice and chewy. Wish they could go 30% sweet. The lowest sweetest they can do is either zero or 50%, still good though. They have huge cookies that look delish, but I didn't try yet. Place has no seating except one bench. Okay for pick up, but not for a sit-down date. Lots of parking.

This was one of the most organized events I've been to. To start, the manager arrived around 8:30am to hand out tickets and ensure that there were no line cutters - even though the store didn't open until 12pm. That's super early considering most events don't hand out tickets until 1 hour or less before the start time. Around 11am, the manager came around and gave us drinks if we won a game. Options were tic tac toe, guess the Sunright drink, or boba trivia. I played and got the white peach oolong milk tea in a can, which was really generous. Shortly after, staff came around to take our orders outside the store so that they could begin prepping and shorten the wait time once we went in to pay. I ordered the special anniversary Upland lemon creamsicle drink and got the fragrant oolong milk tea with sunny jelly as my free drink for being the first 150. I also got to spin the wheel for purchasing the lemon creamsicle and got a white mug. The store is big with ample seating to enjoy your drinks and hang out. Nothing would matter if the drinks aren't good, but Sunright delivers consistent quality, and the lemon creamsicle drink was icy and refreshing on a hot day. It really did taste like a creamsicle. Overall, staff were really efficient and nice, and drinks are always good quality with good variety on the menu.

    Always great customer service and I went to the grand opening and am so glad to see it's still up…read moreand running. They have never disappointed and the drinks are always PERFECT. I have brought my friends who have never tried before and they also liked it! Sunright is one of my favorite spots and I am sad to see some close down, but happy to be able to still visit this one when I'm passing through. The drinks are always generous and filled to the top (even when you say less ice!) When I ask for less sweet, it's just what hits the spot. If you like smoothies, highly recommend the strawberry frostie (they use real strawberries and it is amazing). I also like the mango frostie - it tastes like a dessert and it includes jelly that is jasmine tea flavored! My previous favorite was the panda milk tea as they have 2 different types of boba and is so creamy and delicious. I like to try their new drinks and then end up with new favorites at the time depending on my mood. My brother in law loves the oreo milk tea with boba. The coffee oolong is also essential if you are a fan of coffee. It's a perfect mix for coffee or tea lovers. 100% highly recommend for everyone to try their drinks - their boba is always the perfect texture even if I have it next day. Their mochi waffles are also very addicting but best eaten fresh and right away while they are warm!

Me and my family decided to try the Thai Tea Crème with boba, Artisan Milk Tea, and Peach Strawberry Fruit Tea. The Thai Tea Crème was delicious and creamy. The boba was soft and chewy. The Peach Strawberry Fruit Tea was refreshing and wasn't super sweet compared to other places I had try. It was perfect. The Artisan Milk Tea was yummy. I definitely would order all these drinks again and would like to try something new too. Even my family loved it! The staff were very friendly and helpful.

    Superficial observation: Without seeing a sign that says it's a boba place, when you look in it…read moredoesn't appear like it'd be a place that sells food or beverages. I'm not against minimalism, but IMHO the interior could use a few touches that draw you in from the sidewalk and indicate that there's boba tea and donuts. More seriously: I really dislike giving unflattering reviews for small businesses. In this case, I hope the business sees this and maybe makes improvements. But there were a few issues of cleanliness that had me nervous. And the coffee I ordered took almost 15 mins to come out and had a really unfortunately soapy aftertaste. Cleanliness: Minimalism can be look very chic, but if your chosen aesthetic is white and gold/chrome, you've got to keep it clean. This cafe needs a good deep clean. I was grossed out to see oil and dirt smudges on the backs and seats of the white leather chairs, like no one has wiped them down on a regular basis. The panel molding on the walls looks sleek and clean from far away, but once I sat down I could see a lot of dust. The counter where you pick up your order had a lot of dirt and remnants of spilled beverages at the base. The decor adjacent to the serving area was also really dusty. The chrome garbage bin could contribute to a modern, clean look but it looks grungy and sticky. It's the lack of attention to detail in cleanliness in the front of house that made me worry about what the prep areas might also look like. Beverages: I got an Americano and a mango fruit tea with lychee. The fruit tea was delicious and the lid and straw situation is actually unique and cute. That's where we're getting the two stars from. The Americano coffee on the other hand was really disappointing. For over five dollars, I was hoping for a good quality cup of joe. Despite it not being busy, it took nearly 15 mins before I was handed a coffee in a Christmas cup (it's April so maybe that should've been my sign that they've got Christmas cups bc no one likes the coffee?) that initially tasted ok, but then finished with a really soapy aftertaste. I had 3 different people taste it--everyone agreed it had a dish soap-like aftertaste that spoiled the coffee. Normally, I might ask for a do-over since it was pretty gross. But I didn't have another 10-15 mins to risk getting another soapy coffee. I seriously feel bad calling this place out. I wanted to like it! But at the very least I hope it inspires a deep clean and more care making sure they thoroughly rinse out coffee brewing equipment after washing it. Even if I'd only gotten the yummy mango fruit tea, the cleanliness issues still would've had me distressed. So two stars for now. Sorry!
