Wake Oasis Coffee House
6108 Old Jenks Rd, Apex, NC
Crema's Take
“Wake Oasis brings a refreshing Key West vibe to Apex with its locally-owned charm and flexible setup—whether you're grabbing a quick coffee through the drive-thru or settling in for a slow afternoon with your laptop. The baristas consistently pull rich, fresh espresso that shines in lattes and traditional drinks, though it's worth double-checking your order before you leave to ensure quality consistency. With outdoor seating, an early opening time, and a genuine commitment to sustainability (they've recently upgraded to eco-friendly cups), this spot has earned its reputation as a welcoming neighborhood gathering place for families and remote workers alike.”

Check your order before leaving. Paid $3.59 for a coffee with half and half only to get the disgusting mess in the attached photo, with little chunks of undissolved creamer. Their pastries are the size of the minis you get from a supermarket, literally 1-2 bite sized. The micro scone I got was as dry as plaster, truly vile. This is all in sharp contrast to how pleasant the space itself is, which misleads you into thinking it's a functional coffee shop. If only they would get their act together in terms of food and drinks!
Probably needs a revamp, I probably understand it is themed to the name. However, place can use some cleaning. Coffee was okay, my wife didn't like her latte and sandwiches didn't feel fresh and they were out of majority menu items on a Monday morning. Prices seemed to be expensive. A good amount of seating space available though , Inside and a small sitting are outside.
Locally owned with a Key West vibe, this coffee shop is worth a visit. They have a drive up window option or seating inside. I always order a latte and my husband gets a hot chocolate. The baristas are super friendly and the drinks are always fresh, tasty and they even add the foam art when you take off the lid. They offer a rewards system with Cash App and you can gather points to use on bakery items or discounts later.
3/8/19- we moved so haven’t been by in probably five months. Went today and I had to comment how much I like the new cups. Way to go Wake Zone on keeping things green! Wake zone is not your average coffee shop. Decked out in a beach theme, this place does not put you to sleep like other dimly lit coffee shops. However, the real winner here is the wake zone mocha on ice! My favorite drink.
This is a cute place. First time here. I ordered plain black coffee with a splash of steamed milk. It's pretty good. I like the rich, fresh flavor of the coffee.
