Crema's Take
“Wake-n-Bakery is a neighborhood gem where the staff genuinely knows their craft and loves sharing it with you—regulars rave about baristas like Morgan and Matt who remember your preferences and guide you toward unexpected favorites. The shop strikes that rare balance of being both a creative playground with signature infused drinks like the Trippin' Tropical and a cozy spot where you can linger with games and coloring pages, all while the pastries and carefully balanced flavors keep people coming back.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Morgan is the absolute best! I never know what I want but I know what flavors I enjoy. She always has a tone of knowledge on the products and she often shares her favorites which have now become my favorites. The strawberry matcha is Par Excellence!!

I was thoroughly impressed with my first visit to this location! The staff were lovely and D'Andrea provided exceptional service, ensuring I'll definitely be back.
Absolutely love the staff, the vibe of the cafe, and the actual products! Matt in particular was extremely helpful and an absolute blast. The cafe is filled with humor and has coloring pages, games, etc so cannot recommend enough to stop in!
Was surprisingly delighted after my first visit! I usually expect infused drink to be too sweet, or two earthy. I loved the balance of flavors. Highly recommend the Trippin’ Tropical. I did the basic infusion and felt light but grounded.
