Wake the Dead Coffee House
1432 Old, Kyle, TX
Crema's Take
“Wake the Dead nails the social coffeehouse vibe with a genuinely beautiful patio, local art displays, and a staff that actually engages with customers rather than just taking orders. The espresso-forward drinks are solid, the house-made pastries and breakfast tacos hit the spot, and the crowd here seems to appreciate a place that feels more like a community gathering than a caffeine transaction. Fair warning: opinions split on consistency, but when they're on, this is worth the trip.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Great atmosphere! Our barista was super helpful and kind. He gave us suggestions and told us about the place. We hadn’t been here before and he was able to make us a drink that’s similar to what we get at another place. It was so good! We will for sure come back when we are in…
Quality syrups, and espresso. Love that they have premade breakfast tacos until they last and pastries. Could use some more seasonal drinks but the drinks you order make up for it with the quality ingredients. Atmosphere is awesome, Feels like the old spiderhouse in Austin if…
I want to love this place so much because it is a great social setting, has a beautiful patio, and displays all sorts of local art. Their actual products, however, are honestly kind of bad and often ridiculously expensive. They use Katz Coffee, which a lot of places in the area…

Sweet girl at the counter. We had a blueberry lemon muffin and a chocolate zombie cake pop. Both absolutely amazing 👏 Beautiful atmosphere. I love love the outside area. They also had some live music going.
