Cute little drive up coffee they always have fun new drinks
This is my favorite coffee stand in the area! They are very fast, make the tastiest most accurate drinks, and they have very competitive prices. Wake up espresso also seems to always have a deal going on, like free flavors or .50 cents off energy drinks on certain days. It's our go to!
My favorite coffee stand in town for so many reasons! I’d much rather support a local business so we take our business here as often as possible— customer service is always great although when they are busy they can be a bit slow since there’s usually only one person manning the stand. The drinks are so good! There’s a whole menu with creative drink options if you’re into flavored energy drinks and they also always have new and exciting specials posted on the windows with super cute art, too! You can tell they genuinely enjoy their jobs and getting to create new drinks. I also feel, price wise, drinks here are much more fair than some other stands in the area and they still do punch cards which I love. Their blended coffee is super smooth and yummy. My go-to is a blended white chocolate caramel mocha. Their energy drinks are delicious and they carry lotus, rockstar and Red Bull and have TONS of flavor options. We usually try a new one every time because there are SO MANY. They also have matcha and the strawberries and cream matcha is amazing! The cold foam is my favorite part 🤫 Definitely recommend this place!
Menu is scattered on window. I ordered 32 oz Sherlock Holmes iced coffee, no adds, just the basic recipe that they had posted on the window. The drink was $11.50. She asked if I wanted a punch card and I declined. Maybe I will pay more than $10 for a coffee once but never twice. This was my first and last time to this establishment. I wanted a muffin top too but at $4.50 I declined that as well. A whole muffin would be cheaper someplace else. Outrageous pricing. The barista was friendly.
They're the closest stand next to where we just moved in. Our house burned down a few months ago and its nice feeling like we are getting into community and get to see relaxed smiling faces. Both the girls I've ordered coffee from are so sweet. Thank you for making this adjustment easier for us.
