Wake Up Coffee Cafe

This is a wonderful coffee and pastry spot on Charleston just before Torrey Pines. They have a drive thru and service is quick. The customer service is % friendly !!! This is a great place to pick up some delicious bakery goodies for an office party or to cheer up a friend who is down !!! Everything I have had (Blondies, Strudels, Fruit Pastries, etc.) has been very fresh and deliciously different !!! I am addicted The Frappy blended coffee comes in many different flavors. I get the Salted Carmel and it !!! This is truly a great little coffee specialty shop

The BEST food & coffee. I’ve never been back to Starbucks since finding this place!
They have homemade pastries & food, and rich flavorful smooth coffee :)
Not to mention the owner are great people who treat you like family the moment you step into the door. They have a great rewards system and a drive through which is perfect.
Mersi!

Cute quite little joint!
Wifi works wonderfully!
My chai latte was delicious and just right but my fiancée’s ice coffee was tasteless and bland. The pastries look delectable though!

I go here all the time. U get the right coffee for the right price. The flavors are all amazing. The staff is the best. And then the pastries omg. Is the most I can say about this place. Trust me swing by and try it out you won’t. You won’t be disappointed I promise you that. And for a real big pick me up order the wake up.

OMGoodness… The Thai Tea Latte– Best Ever! Had to get that out. Now, I found this place courtesy of Unilocal.Typed in, «places to study» and there we have it. Wake Up Coffee Cafè. Not my type of study spot but the Baristo is a coffee drink connoisseur. I enjoyed his conversation about Italian high end syrups and different coffee bean types… Quite sure he knows how to blend an amazing spiritful coffee drink

Did some offsite work here, wifi is fantastic.
Got a delicious blended frappé drink and a spinach and cheese pastry, both were great.
Chairs are also super comfy! Great for working for a couple hours.
The staff was SO friendly, can’t stress that enough. Will definitely be back.

Across charleston from Dental Hygiene programs building. wifi. appears to be family run. The coffee here is really nice. Aesthetic is good. Comfortable (but not too comfortable) chairs with round tables, music channel playing low in the background. quaint at 9:30 on a Tuesday. The senior gentleman is a clay sculptor and his works are splayed on a table near the back, they are interesting and of good quality. They have a variety of goods but just one variety of coffee, it’s a medium roast and the body is full, incredibly smooth. I wouldnt need more options than this, although I enjoy the selection at Holley’s Cuppa. I drink with creamer only. It’s a quality cup that is worth a try

Try the Hot Chocolate it’s so good… They put some type of whipped cream mix it just changes it up… The desserts are so delicious it’s a super cute cozy little place. Came here with my best friend, we wanted to try something new cuz we usually go to Starbucks or Jamba Juice, and this place hit the spot. They’re this Armenian couple super sweet… They know how to make you feel at home :)

If you love corporate coffee, waiting in line for service from nice millennials with hidden tattoos and modest piercings, unimagined espresso and sugar ladened drinks made by machines that follow immutable software alogorhythms, avoid this place. WakeUp! has old world charm 2.0 and the owners’ touch in every beverage, pastry, quiche and cookie they sell.
Transact with the European couple who make their living from this coffee spot where you get authentic smiles and appreciation for every purchase of delicious eats and drinks they serve up. It’s not easy to survive in a franchised world. Hold the line and enjoy the low key cuisine.

Across from CSN where’s there’s vast variety of places to eat. This was mine and fiancés first time and not likely to go back. This is definitely a mom and pop shop, so the feel was nice.
We both had breakfast wraps. Spinach, eggs, bacon and some sort of spice; possibly salsa??? Not sure. All on a dry crêpe-​like (tortilla substitute) wrap. Which wasn’t too bad, but nothing on it had actual flavor. Though a very hefty portion for $ 6, it lacked flavor. :(
The service was ok. Nothing outstanding. $ 3 & some change for a green tea, could have walked over to Starbucks for cheaper and more variety like a mango peach.

This is a cute little coffee shop/​café owned and operated by a mom and son, who are very friendly. Everything is made fresh daily and form the things we tried, is amazing!
The portion sizes are great for the prices as well.
We ordered a lot of the items they had to offer and just split them to all be able to taste. Coffee is really good too!
They also have a customer card program where for every 8 stamps you will get a free drink & free pastry!!! This was also awesome to learn about!
Thank you Wake Up Coffee Café people!

Really great place for coffee and homemade baked goods. You can tell owner takes great pride in the food and she has her special touch. Coffee, spanakopita, crepes, breakfast wraps made with lavash, you can get what you are craving if you want to change it up from the traditional breakfast.
In the future, they will start serving kebob as well, I am excited to see the new menu.
We need more indie coffee shops in Vegas!

Great café. Nice personnel. Great alternative to Starbucks. Pastry is awesome.
Recommend to everyone.

Experience: I have been to this place many times, so this is overdue. It was about 4pm and we went over after we grabbed some food next door at Moko.
Facility: this is a cute little shop. It has tables and chairs for seating. I like the metal decorations on the wall. It has a display case for the pastries next to the register and coffee making area.
Service: the couple that work there seem very nice. I assume they are the owners and maybe the wife even makes the pastries. Either way, they are both very patient and helpful.
Food: so far this is may favorite place to get the Napolean. It is a pastry layered with flaky pastry and cream in the middle. I have tried a few other pastries here, and they are good too. But I have not found a better place in town for the Napolean. They serve sandwiches and stuff, but I have not tried them yet.
Overall: I like this place. One day I will try it for lunch too. I will definitely be back again to treat myself to a Napolean now and then. Can’t have one everyday, but they are great when you have been a good boy or girl. :)

Who would have thought a three star review and the word «grumpy» could result in a police report for battery?
I won’t be coming here again after my recent experience. My BF wrote a review that pointed out the male owner was grumpy, due to his frequent unprofessional demeanor and tone.
A few evenings ago, we were grabbing a coffee in the drive-​thru and the man began calling him racist epithets peppered with F-​bombs. This escalated to spitting in his face and chasing our car with a baseball bat while screaming threats. All because he was called grumpy, which was clearly the understatement of the century.
How ironic to think this all started over lackluster customer service. No wonder this place is always empty despite being across the street from a college campus.

I really like this place. It’s quiet and cute. A good small place to drink coffee while you are trying to study away from school.
The owner seems to be the one serving and provides good customer service.
If you get a drink for here it gets decorated!
I got the 20oz vanilla mocha hot for only $ 4.70 better than Starbucks. I didn’t use my discount but doesn’t get 20% off!!!
Over all the place is cute and friends for students and free wifi!

It’s a cute little place. Definitely a ghost town. I’m assuming it was the owner that was working. He had about 3 of his friends in there. It was a Saturday when I walked in so that explains why there weren’t any students.
Anyways, walked in and the owner got out of his seat right away. Okay cool. Asks what I want. I ordered the white mocha and a cannoli. Came out to $ 7.50. Not bad. However the coffee was extremely average and towards the end tasted kind of burnt if that makes sense. Like it was sitting there too long or something. The cannoli looked half assed too. The shell wasn’t even wrapped all the way and there was hardly any filling. The shell wasn’t crispy at all but the filling was really good. Soooo. Yeah.
I think this place is average. Not awful. Not great. But I definitely see potential in it. I’d probably breeze through again if I was in the area.

We were in the area and wanted to check it out. Not a good vibe. One guy working. Owner? Maybe. There was a table of five women sitting and talking about quilting and knitting. Apparently, they had him so busy with orders that he ignored us for quite some time.
Ordered a regular coffee, and a steamed milk with vanilla to go. Chose two cookies as well. Total was just under $ 8. The coffee was really good, as was the ‘steamer’. The raspberry cookie had a raspberry jelly filling, and the chocolate chip had chocolate filling. They were pretty good.
Did not like the vibe of the place, mostly because we were ignored when we first got there. But in the end it was okay. Not sure we will be back.

Stumbled upon this place during my lunch break today! Quiet place with not many people there. Loved the atmosphere, it had wide spaces with comfy chairs. I ordered a vanilla iced coffee with half and half and it was instantly one of my favorites! It was not too sweet and also so incredibly smooth. It was only $ 3.35 for a large which is including the $ 1 towards the vanilla syrup. Not bad at all!
My friend got a pastry, the apricot streudel which she was less than impressed with — but it did look like their pastries may have been bought rather than made in-​house? I am not 100% on that one. We did see two girls order crêpe’s though which looked fantastic and not overly priced! It is definitely on my list for must try.

I love the homey feel, I got a chipped plate which really bothers me for some reason. Seems like a great place to kick back. Staff could be friendlier. The first time I thought she just was frazzled, second time I realized she exists in frazzled.
The Sparrows Nest was stale, and she quickly replaced it, also gave us Baklava, which was the best I’ve ever had.
Coffee drinks are really good, and the Cannoli was delish. I’ve been eating bars that are VERY healthy and good for me, so if I’m going to cheat it HAS to be worth it. This was.
The seating is like someones den, comfy, warm, a chess set, some drawing pads, I really like that.
Plan on making this a regular stop from now on. :)
