Awakenings Coffee Roasters

Great coffee and convenient to grab from a nicely curated wine selection!

Awakenings is my FAVORITE local coffee shop. Amazing drinks and goodies and they have the best chai I've ever had. Love their selection of baked goods especially the earl grey cookies.

Please consider this as constructive criticism for the owners so they might improve their business. If I were the owner I would definitely have a talk with everyone. I would certainly ensure everyone was familiar with the website, especially the management. And I would provide clean disposable masks for employees who wished to wear them. And those should be replaced every four hours and whenever they might be contaminated, such as when going to the bathroom or being removed for lunch/breaks. When working with food you must be careful regarding hygiene. Filthy fabric masks worn continuously and repeatedly should not be used. Yuck! The staff is not friendly. Actually they seemed quite condescending. One barista was wearing a dark mask that not only looked dirty and unprofessional in a food service environment, but obstructed his ability to clearly communicate. And his attitude seemed disinterested and impolite/fake polite. And, unfortunately, while I didn’t actually meet the management in person they seem quite inept and seemingly share his same attitude. I reached out to the manager more than one month ago, before ever having visited this business, I had attempted to communicate with the manager about scheduling an after hours event. Believing from their website that this would be fairly easy inquiry and hosting an after hours event would be an option, I made early dinner reservations at a neighboring restaurant. Unfortunately, after responding, five days, two emails and two phone calls later, the manager was confused about my inquiry. She actually asked me “how would they do that?” She didn’t understand how to respond to an inquiry about hosting a private after hours party, which is very odd considering I found the information suggesting “after hour events” and link to her email on their website. When scheduling an event you obviously need permission/agreement from the venue prior to the initiating the planning and invitations. When Katie did finally respond via email she literally asked me how they would do that, “an after hours event”. Confused by her response, I politely replied with the details we had in mind for our party, hoping that was the information she was concerned about (seemingly confused about). This time she never responded for two days, until after I sent a screenshot from their website that showed “contact us about scheduling an after hours event” so that she might understand that this is something the coffeehouse offers and not some unusual/random request. This time she promptly responded, stating: I got your screenshot from our website. We don’t have the staff. Have a nice day. By her email I got the impression she was offended. I suspect she would not have responded at all had I not sent the screenshot. Weird! We did keep our reservations for the neighboring restaurant, hence the reason for today’s visit to the coffeehouse. We were a bit early and decided to enjoy a coffee. We entered and sat at the bar. We were not greeted, though only 8 or 10 feet away from the counter. I had to ask if we should order at the counter. Then we were never told they were ready and waiting for us to pick them up, or even that we should pick them up after they were prepared. The experience was unbelievable, especially considering I had paid for the coffees and left a gratuity upon ordering. The barista wasn’t even busy. No other customers arrived or approached the counter for twenty minutes. Rude!

Good drinks in a cozy atmosphere.
