Wake and Bake
5001 N Mesa St, El Paso, TX
Crema's Take
“Wake and Bake has earned its stellar reputation as El Paso's quietly exceptional third-place, where visitors rave about the tranquil, focused atmosphere that makes it equally perfect for deep work sessions or catching up with friends over expertly crafted coffee and matcha. Beyond the reliable specialty drinks and notably great pastries, what keeps people coming back—and apparently considering relocating—is the genuine warmth of the space and service, with regulars calling out the calm, welcoming vibe that just makes you want to linger. Whether you're stopping by for their traditional espresso drinks, exploring their more adventurous specialty creations, or grabbing a turkey pesto panini, this tucked-away spot consistently delivers on both the coffee and the experience.”

My girlfriend and I went here together, and shes from out of town. And she loved it so much she said "I'd move here to just to come to this plave". I myself dont really drink coffee, tea, other things of thay regard. But man was there avocado toast amazing! I love this place and im fs returning back. BTW, they're pet friendly :)
Honestly, the best coffee I’ve had in a while. I was visiting El Paso from Houston and needed a study spot—the atmosphere was amazing and calming, which helped me focus on my work. The customer service was great as well; I believe I was talking to the owner, who helped me pick a drink that best fit my taste. I ended up getting a tiramisu latte with caramel cold foam, and it was just perfect. My favorite thing about it is that it wasn’t too sweet, and the cold foam was thick—unlike many cold foams that just melt away without really adding much flavor. Overall, an amazing place, and I’ll definitely be coming back when I visit again.
Always enjoy coming to W&B. I live at Montecillo and used to come more often as I prefer working out of coffee shops. This one is great, tucked away, quiet, great pastries, GREAT drinks, and Bruce is always an awesome conversation. If you havent been, I highly recommend 👌
I think I found my go to coffee shop for when I’m in El Paso. This place checks all the boxes on what I look for when reviewing. The food and coffee are great. I ordered a turkey pesto Panini and it was delicious. I also ordered a coffee which had a Spanish flair with cinnamon. I don’t remember the name, but it was really good. The layout of the store is nice with a vibe that make you feel welcomed. It’s really inviting the plants add to the ambience. The store itself is clean and nice and the service was great. They took my order, asked questions and make sure I had everything I needed. Good seating options inside and parking outside. I didn’t mention they are a hemp dispensary serving coffee infused or non-infused with CBD,CBG,CBN and CBC. They also sell other products like clothing, edibles, and more. Top marks for this coffee shop.
I love This place! Excellent service, food and atmosphere! It is so tranquil and welcoming! If you want a place to go to study, focus or just wind down this is the place. I ordered a coconut and almond milk matcha with a sweet avocado toast that I highly recommend. Thank you Bruce for the great service!
