AWAKE Cafe Detroit

PRODUCTS. Copetic. Very good scone with cream cheese. Tender and flavorful. Daily coffee was average.SERVICE. Friendly! Accommodating with providing cream on side for coffee.AMBIANCE. CUTE. Quiet like a college library. Studious. Lots of outlets for charging devices. Artsy decor. Plants brightened the place. Seats about 30? Homeless loitering around outside. OF NOTE. Street parking in DETROIT. So, park at your own risk and hopefully your car won't be ticketed, stolen or broken into, even if you have insurance.Overall... Good.

Despite frequenting the area, this was my first time here. I met a friend here to catch up and have coffee. It is a quaint and cozy space. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. After asking a few questions about my coffee experiences and preferences, I ordered a Mocha latte at their recommendation. I found the handwritten note on the sleeve to be a special touch.

My friend and I stopped by the Awake Cafe to pick up breakfast before heading to Belle Isle to eat it. The cafe had a warm and friendly feel to it so we decided to sit down and stay awhile. The staff was super nice and accommodating. We asked if there was outdoor seating. At the time, there wasn't, but before we left, they'd set up tables and chairs outside so people could enjoy the weather. I thought the staff's quick response to customers' requests was admirable.The coffee was well-made and delicious. Totally worth the trip. I had a toasted Asiago bagel with cream cheese, which was wonderful. My friend ordered the Ford Ave. breakfast sandwich. She swears it's the best breakfast sandwich she's ever eaten. This is really saying something since this gal eats ALL her meals out. I also thought the pricing on the breakfast sandwiches was very reasonable.If you're looking for a cafe with great food and coffee, a chill atmosphere, and friendly staff, check out Awake Cafe.

I tried the Frosted Oatmeal Cookie Latte and I really liked it. I like how you could taste the flavors and sweetness but it didn't drown out the coffee flavor. It didn't turn the coffee into a dessert. I got an everything bagel. I like to drown my bagels in cream cheese so i got an extra on the side but i think it's convenient that they put it on there for you so someone who may be on the move, trying to get to work or school can just open it and start eating without the hassle. Customer service was good. It's such a nice space to do homework in or even sit in the back area and read a book. I really like this spot. I'm glad I was able to check them out.

I pass by AWAKE Cafe ALL the time as it's on my AM commute. I only recently went inside for the first time. I got a Breve latte with 2 kinds of syrup and the baked oatmeal. I was impressed with their food options as most are not as extensive as theirs. First impression: i think it's a good, secondary place to go. Not sit and work (seating is not ideal for me), but stop by for breakfast and a decent beverage. I won't knock it because the independent coffee shops are struggling in this area in particular. However, there are better places to go in the immediate vicinity I'd be more likely to support due to the "vibe" being better elsewhereJust my personal experience as a local ! (And a black woman)

Stopped for a coffee and cinnamon roll. Coffee good. The cinnamon roll was good. They were nice enough to warm it up, and skip the icing (which can make it too sweet for me).It is a nice vibe with tall ceilings, and soft indie music playing in the background. There are Sayings are posted throughout. There is lots of seating with a counter, couches, tables and a fireplace area. Good space for working or meeting someone.It was not busy on this Saturday later in the morning.

Nice place to work with ample seating and enough outlets and extensions for laptop and phone chargers. The music is not loud at all. It's typically very quiet inside but it does get a bit busy during lunch hours. The ingredients taste so fresh, the coffee and the food are always sooo good. I highly recommend trying their cinnamon roll! My favorite drink to order is an iced latte with caramel and coconut syrup -- not too sweet, and it tastes amazing. Other food items I recommend: the Willis avenue, the Woodward avenue, their spicy chipotle breakfast sandwich. Only downside is that they close early, but they do open pretty early for folks who want to grab a quick coffee and breakfast sandwich before work.

This place has limited parking but it's amazing in two ways cz i ordered two things. A vanilla iced latte (9.9/10) and an everything bagel with cream cheese that was so abundant and crunchy (10/10). Wish I could come here everyday.

Great coffee, good breakfast, friendly employees, great vibes!Highly recommend this coffee shop. Plus, when you check in on yelp they give you a free coffee! We ordered a cinnamon roll and breakfast sandwich on an Asiago bagel. They had games available to play, and lots of tables. It would be a great place to sit and get work done also.There was plenty of free street parking right outside the coffee shop.

A hidden gem off of 3rd street in Midtown!People, I'm going to need you to venture a block or two off of Woodward and Cass to sample some of Detroit's best eateries. I had the pleasure of *literally* stumbling into Awake following a weekend morning run. Not only was their food tasty (I was a fan of my avocado toast and oranges + their delicious homemade granola bar) but the staff has actually started to create our running crew specialty items like Runners Toast (avo toast with egg) for some of our regulars. This friendly, home like atmosphere is felt the second you step foot in the shop. We were told by the staff that Awake doesn't have a singular owner and actually functions as a collective model which was really cool! The back room has a plethora of books and board games for you to try out as well as some comfy seating.In sum, this is a great cafe/coffee shop but also just a really neat spot to hang out or meet up with friends. Street parking is available.
