A fantastic, family-owned, very cute spot tucked away near the Fairfield train station is a great option for any time of day! My wife and I love stopping here before food shopping at Whole Foods just down the road. The inside is so wonderfully decorated with a modern chic aesthetic, it is so pleasant for enjoying a cup of coffee or tea while you work or just to enjoy a yummy pretzel sandwich. Outside there is a bunch of seating to enjoy the weather. They even bring the food to you wherever you end up sitting. The service has always been stellar and friendly. The food is always super fresh and the flavors are on point!! On the pricier side but completely worth it. I love the smoked salmon pretzel sandwich so much! They have daily combos like half sandwich and soup too. I still want to try their pancakes! The only downside is parking can be troublesome if it's busy, but don't hesitate to go try it out, you won't regret it! read more

Stopped by to visit this coffee shop, and my kids instantly wanted a chocolate chip cookie. Can I say it was huge!? They loved it, and was so big, I cut it in 4 pieces! For myself I grabbed a apple pastry, which was okay. I will definitely go back to try their gluten free cranberry orange muffin. read more

Wake-Cup-Coffee - Chocolate Chip Nutella cookie, apple pastry. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

Wow. Just WOW. I actually hate to write a review because this place is a freaking gem but I need to boost them. Wake Cup Coffee is phenomenal. Like one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in a long time. Served on a delicious pretzel bun with perfectly cooked bacon and melty cheese. The prices are just perfect. I don't feel like I'm spending a fortune here which makes me want to constantly return. The quality of the food is unreal. Haven't been to a place in a long time that serves great quality food at their prices. They have delicious pastries, sandwiches, and breakfast sandwiches along with an array of delicious coffees and drinks to choose from. I absolutely love that they have to-go and to-stay options. More eco friendly to stay as they serve everything in real cups and plates. However, their to-go options have eco friendly packaging so that's pretty cool. The only downside of this place is that the parking suuuuuucks. Not their fault but other than that it's wonderful. Don't come here though because I want it all to myself. read more

Like the vibe and nice decoration! Nice place for meeting or chitchatting. About the food, I am vegan and it was limited options for vegans.

Amazing bakery!!! Everything we have ever gotten from there is delicious! Definitely our new favorite place! The owner is lovely. It's a pleasure to come here. read more

I LOVE the mocha latte which is just a Nutella latte. It's subtly sweet and nutty that pairs so well with espresso and a choice of milk. I prefer oat. The perfect late morning/afternoon pick me up. Perfectly located by the Fairfield metro station to grab a cup for the ride. The avocado toast is delicious! It comes on a pretzel toast which makes it salty and buttery. A squeeze of lemon is the perfect touch for a yummy breakfast! read more

This is the Nicest little hidden surprise! I'm actually kind of mad I found out about their egg and cheese croissant - every time I have one, I immediately want another one (they're SO Good)! Love the spotless interior, and their super early hours. (Usually they have some cool variety of music playing, too.) Trying their Nutella dessert is next on my list - looks amazing. read more

We made a quick stop on the way to Boston. The place is very cute inside. They have lots of tables. There is also nice outdoor area available with tables. My latte was delicious and served in a nice white mug. We ordered 2 sandwiches. Both were very good and served on a delicious pretzel bun. Service was quick and efficient. read more

Terrific coffee, terrific food, including savory pastries and exceptional avocado toast on their signature pretzel bread which is worth a visit by itself. Nicely appointed space, if a bit...industrial/hospital feeling with too much white and tile, despite the encouraging quotations on the wall to help inspire your writer's block - whether on poetry or a business proposal...the resultant drawback is it feels a little...cold; BUT the owner seems to be solving this, with local art displays from time to time, AND, THE ESPECIALLY FABULOUS LIVE SINGING OF ROBIN!!! Wow! A professional level smooth voice with restrained power and a pleasant and expanding catalog. A humble slice of wonderful to go with afternoon cloud gazing or work. Again, unobtrusive and warming for the environment. A KEY add-on! My partner and I will be back for MANY reasons, but the welcome softening of the edges with the live music can only help, especially if expanded. Seriously...try that avocado toast. I PROMISE it won't give you a man-bun and precious attitude about your artisanale IPA selection...it is just terrific eating! read more

The coffee is okay.. it used to be better, made better. I think the normal barista left. The pastries are good - especially the savory ones. I would recommend not getting the food to go because they always forget or don't include ingredients ... if you eat there they give you what you ordered. The steak and cheese sandwich is really good it comes with jalapeños .. onions. I would eat it every day if I could lol. Love the leek pastry ... the egg and cheese is bland. I like this place because I've been wanting a coffee shop near the Fairifeld metro train station. Sometimes it takes too long though. Just arrive early - and you can enjoy your commute with a nice brekkie and coffee. Not going to lie it's 100% expensive. I understand because of the location must cost a lot in rent - but $6 for a coffee ? That's the only thing that really turns me off. But if you have the money to spend 10-15 for breakfast and coffee each day go ahead. read more

WOW! hands down the BEST BURGER in town!!! I had a burger craving today and was pleasantly surprised to see it on the menu of this delightful local gem coffee/breakfast/lunch spot, right next to the Fairfield Metro train station. The burger was juicy and grilled to perfection with cheese and toppings, on a quality bun. Came with a high quality green salad and house dressing. GENEROUS portions! There was much more salad than shows in the picture as it was under the burger. Mesclun greens, cukes, peppers, onion, carrots, tomatoes. This is such a refreshing change from the usual fare of fries that most burger joints serve. And leaves room for calories in other places... like dessert. read more

Wake-Cup-Coffee - Perfection!!! Wake-Cup Coffee's "house burger" with high quality green salad and house dressing. Generous portions. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

I have to say they have a lot of good stuff but where can you park please try it for so many times never can I park so they need to come up with a solution. See you around when you have better parking spaces. read more

How delightful! Went there early in the morning, the staff was so nice and cheerful- I appreciate that! Coffee was quick but breakfast sandwich took some time and a lot of ppl are ordering hot breakfast so that's understandable. Loved how clean the place was and so spacious! read more

I had previously ordered in from these guys and after a very pleasant customer service experience with that I'd had it in the back of my head to check out their brick and mortar. I got the opportunity to briefly stop by this morning and I was instantly charmed. Sitting right outside the, I guess you'd call it the "arrvial" side of Fairfield Metro, the space welcomes you with a cute little astro turf lawn and several comfortable outdoor seating arrangements. I noted this as a great option for a little breakfast and trainspotting, I'll have to partake some morning soon. The interior is surprisingly large, that is to say spacious but still fairly comfortable. There's a wide variety of seating options including a worktop bar, fireside conversation spot, etc. Whereas I didn't have the time to sit and absorb the ambiance I'd clock it as more comfortable than Shearwater, less than Las Vetas. That's all well and good but the five stars are merited by their service and their product. In one of my previous coffehouse reviews of GG & Joe I noted that the staff's constant personal conversation and general aimlessness were a major turn off-- Whereas with Wake-Cup my experience was exactly the opposite. The girls were friendly, alert, efficient and focused on the task at hand, despite being the same age range as the young staff at GG & Joe. They have clearly been better managed. And finally their product is very good. My personal rating for coffee quality, I admit, is too extreme to be fair and so accounting by what I imagine is the "average casual coffee drinker's" standards, the mud here is pretty darn good. A wee bit better than a good Starbucks. For me the profile is a bit bland when compared to its superiors like Shearwater and even Source out of Bridgeport but I make that comparison only to frame that this level of "third wave" coffee doesn't seem to be what they're aiming for. More like a classic donut shop done very well. And the pastry? Fuggeddabout it. The leek tart is so good I bought a second one for the woman behind me in line with whom I was discussing its addictive quality. I will say the aesthetics of the baked goods borders on institutional, I'd love to see some imperfections there. A more rustic handbaked look would go a long way to matching the incredible flavors. Good stuff all around, Wake-Cup gets a big recommend. read more

Happy to have found this place as it's off the beaten path. Their ham & cheese on pretzel bread is delicious! Soups and salads are also good. Very generous servings. Nice atmosphere too! read more

Love the vibe, quality of the food, and the care that they take witb making sure everything is cleaned after customers leave. The breakfast sandwiches are special because they are served on a fresh baked pretzel bun. Baked goods are excellent and they roast their own coffee beans . Highly recommend! read more

Lots to love about this new coffee shop in Fairfield at the train station. For one, it's next to Fairfield Metro where we've had a coffee wasteland since the station opened. (As in, if you build it, we will come.) This is my second time and I brought my husband with me. The lattes are delicious, so is something to eat called the "chocolate avalanche." They have pastries (sweet and savory), pretzels and some little gift items like caramel sauce and caramels. The interior is very cute with one long coffee bar, cool signage, a long table made from a tandem bike and several smaller tables. Outside, they have two seating areas - one shadier near the train platform and another in the sun protected by umbrellas. Our server (Jazz) was awesome. Quick, on it and kind. It's very clean. The latte cups and lids are 100% compostable. Pastry wrapper was brown bag (also not plastic). Go, go, go! read more

The service was terrible. They were rude and unkind. Also, service is very slow and it's over priced/

They said they never got my order (which I had already paid for), and I didn't have time to wait for them to make it. And In fact, when I said I ordered via Yelp the girl looked so confused and went silent. I had to say, "so do you have an order for me or not?" And she said no. So, I said "ok well I don't have time to wait." She said nothing and I walked out... so I paid $8 for nothing and bad service. read more

The ambience is nice. A great coffee shop to get work done. The review is for the $6 muffin. Why is my latte cheaper than a cold muffin in Saran Wrap!? read more

An inviting sparkling clean well-appointed coffee shop/cafe next to Fairfield train station. Great locale close to the Edge and Whole Foods. Friendly enthusiastic staff serving medium roast brews, yummy homemade treats and German style pretzels-wow. Worth a visit. Great atmosphere for casual conversation or work on a laptop. read more

Wake-Cup-Coffee - Cappuccino - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

The pretzels are to die for, especially the avocado toast with bacon on top. Nice quaint cafe to work on the go.

Prices are very high they charge $1 to add a non dairy milk. Also the Nutella stuffed cookies used to be AMAZZONNG now they are here and stale? They wrap them in Saran Wrap and they also aren't cheap I always end up throwing it out because it's so hard to even bite and chew. Lastly the breakfast quesadilla has no eggs? It's just a ton of cheese and ham very greasy read more

I cannot believe the experience at this coffee shop. Being a roastery, you'd think they care about coffee!?! I ordered a small flat white and got a 12oz barely luke warm drink that would have been extremely milky even for a latte. When asked, the person working the register explained to me that "their" flat white was like a latte but without foam. - So even more milk than a latte. The barista was clearly stressed and not trained whatever. They stuck the steam wand into the pitcher that was just standing on the counter and poured the milk into the drink in a huge gulp. I wished I would have just gotten a coffee at a Dunkin Donut. At least I would have payed an appropriate amount of money for lackluster quality. read more

Stopped in for an iced coffee while working. It was pretty good but for the price of a large it wasn't very big. Otherwise the iced coffee was very good just be aware of the prices and the size not being what you would expect. read more

This is the best coffee shop I have ever been too! It's super cute, and the drinks are so good! The baristas are excellent and super friendly. It's right by the train station so it's fun to watch them past by! Really nice place to do homework too! read more

Amazing Breakfast Sandwiches with Pretzel Buns!

A little hidden gem in Fairfield. The aroma of sweet coffee is sensed form the moment you pull into their parking lot. The croissant was nice and flaky, and their coffee was smooth and robust: As any latte should be. Staff is very kind and attentive, not to mention knowledgeable in their products. The aesthetics are very appealing, tables are nice and clean and condiments station is nicely stocked and clean. It's was a pleasure being a patron at wake-up-coffee and I look forward to revisiting again when I am in Fairfield. read more

This place is phenomenal. I've been a couple of times, and everything I've ordered-- Parmesan leek pastry and chocolate avalanche pastry were both flaky and full of flavor, and uniquely made omelette-- is absolutely wonderful. I don't like weak coffee, so I hesitantly tried their mochas... and it didn't disappoint! I've had it twice now, and each time it's been rich and flavorful. I brought home a cookie for my two kids to split, and they gave rave reviews; for a cookie, that's pretty awesome! There is ample outdoor seating, which feels comfortable, and their wide doors are open for good ventilation inside. Staff is very kind, and even brought my omelette outside to me, which was a nice perk for a counter order cafe. read more

love their espresso. but on at least 2 occasions I ordered a double espresso to enjoy in the cafe 45 minutes before closing and the barista would not give it to me in their china only in a paper cup. It was not 10 or 15 minutes before closing. Bad form. read more

Cancel your breakfast plans and head to Wake Cup Coffee. Tucked next to the NYC-bound train tracks is a cafe that offers exceptional breakfast items, breads and pastries. I got takeout over the summer and the omelettes were cooked and presented perfectly with my requested avocado slices arrayed nicely on top. I returned yesterday and after seeing an online tip, ordered the quesadilla. Wow!! This was the best quesadilla I've ever had. Seriously! The difference is that thin and crispy crepes take the place of tortillas, taking the cheesy dish to new heights. I should note that the quesadilla also has ham so if that's not your thing, let them know. I used to have a go-to breakfast sandwich, but this is my new favorite by far. The iced coffee is great, a nice complement to the quesadilla. I am definitely headed back. I know I want the quesadilla, but next time I want to try their signature pretzel buns, pastries and desserts. Also, the dining area is quite large with lots of tables spread out. When it's warmer, they have outdoor seating. Everyone was very helpful and my order didn't take too long. I recommend a trip to Wake Cup!! I know I will soon be a regular there. read more

Great service, great coffee, their desserts are also delicious nothing to disappointing about this coffee place. The interior is very nice and clean and the staff are so kind. Will definitely return. read more

Very disappointing experience, especially considering our expectations given the glowing reviews. The service was extremely unfriendly. We were barely acknowledged and had to ask multiple times for the pastry we ordered. Everything was given in disposable containers even though we were eating there. They stop serving food at 2 despite being open until 6, but this is not clear anywhere on the website and is only in small print under the food specials menus. We were there at 1:56 and there was no offer of food they might still have (I ordered a cold sandwich), just an announcement the kitchen was closed. The pastry I got instead was ice cold despite being a savory pastry with spinach and feta, something I've never gotten cold. The latte I got also seemed to be made only with water--it was very thin with little flavor. Any one of these things could've been looked past, but the combo made the overall visit not great. read more

An absolutely beautiful space, run by really nice people. Ample space indoors and out to eat, drink, work, or hang out. Food and beverages are excellent; try the avocado toast on a house made soft pretzel. This is a welcome addition to the neighborhood, especially since the Fairfield Metro train station had no food service of any kind-not even food trucks! Pricing of beverages seems a bit high, given the small size of even their large size. read more

1st time I was happy and since then the customer service had been terrible do not go im very disappointed the last 2 weeks my order was wrong and they made no effort to fix it terrible service I will never go again I figured everyone has a bad day but two in a row this place is a joke you would think they would try and fix it read more

This place is clean, comfortable, the staff is friendly and it's easily accessible from the train station. They have indoor and outdoor seating that is spaced out plenty so that you can enjoy your coffee without the stress of social distancing. There are comfy couches to spend the day working and the pastries are amazing as well as the coffee and hot chocolate! One of my favorite coffee spots in the area! read more

Seriously the best chocolate croissant ever. I brought it home and heated it up and it was so good. Also a really good chai latte.

Best omelette I have ever had! It was very tasty and their pancakes are also amazing. Their atmosphere inside is perfect. 10/10 would recommend and I am definitely going back for more. read more
