Crema's Take

Brewed Awakenings strikes that rare balance between a serious espresso bar and a welcoming neighborhood hangout, where the notably quiet atmosphere and attentive staff make you want to linger over house-made pastries and fresh breakfast. Their in-house bagels and espresso drinks are genuinely memorable rather than competent, earning fierce loyalty from regulars who find themselves coming back day after day.

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Amazing breakfast and coffee Stopped in for breakfast and had a coffee and a jalapeno cheese bagel. I’m not exaggerating when I say it might be the best bagel I’ve ever had. It’s made in-house and has this perfect texture somewhere between a bagel and an English muffin.…

Friendly staff and excellent coffee. I just had drip coffee medium roast with cream. It was tasty, no frills, and exactly what I was looking for. Came back the next day for a second cup. They have plenty of fancy complicated drinks if you’re into that. I also had a breakfast…
