AWAKE Cafe

Such a cute coffee shop hidden in Detroit that I found on my last day in the city. Amazing cinnamon roll and avocado toast and each drink comes with a handwritten message!! Will definitely be back

A Culinary Delight: Avocado Toast and Decaf Cappuccino 😍☕
Oh, what a treat to share my recent visit to this delightful café, where every bite and sip was a pure sensory pleasure! 🥑🍞✨

🍃 Avocado Toast on Whole Grain Bread 🍃
I indulged in their heavenly Avocado Toast, meticulously crafted on a foundation of whole grain bread. The moment I laid my eyes on it, a symphony of colors and textures unfolded before me. Each slice of bread embraced a generous, velvety coat of avocado perfection, catapulting my taste buds to cloud nine.

✨ The Perfect Toast 🥂
The whole grain bread was artfully toasted to perfection golden brown and crisp on the outside, yet marvelously soft on the inside. With every bite, a divine crunch and a gentle sweetness danced together, composing pure harmony in my mouth.

✨ A Symphony of Flavors 🎶
As I savored each morsel, my palate was serenaded by the delightful interplay of the creamy avocado and the meticulously balanced seasoning – a symphony conducted from the first bite to the last. The earthy and nutty undertones of the whole grain bread provided a subtle backdrop for the vibrant flavors to shine, ensuring an unforgettable taste experience.

☕ Decaf Cappuccino with Oat Milk ☕
To complement this extraordinary toast, I opted for their velvety-smooth Decaf Cappuccino with the richness of oat milk. The moment the cup touched my lips, it was love at first sip.

✨ A Perfect Pairing 💫
As the bold and robust flavors of the avocado lingered on my palate, the cappuccino swept in like a gentle breeze, perfectly complementing the indulgent journey. Its medium-bodied taste and seamless smoothness intertwined with the lingering flavors, bringing a harmonious conclusion to this extraordinary culinary adventure.

If you're looking for a symphony of flavors that will leave you spellbound, head to Awake Café @awakedetroit. Prepare for an enchanting experience that whispers poetry on your taste buds! 🌟✨

Praise God for this gem that I stumbled on today ❤

The word that sums this quaint café..... CHILL. From the ambiance to the staff, this place has everything you want to let the hours fly. Coffee is divine. And don't sleep on that cinnamon coffee cake!

Well, this was a VERY pleasant surprise. I was definitely not expecting this little cafe I found online so be so cozy and aesthetic! I ordered a hazelnut oatmilk latte that came with a heart which was adorable! It was very smooth and delicious, the flavor was really rich! I also ordered a chocolate chip cookie warmed up, very soft and gooey. The baristas were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere DEFINES cozy. I almost fell asleep in the chair by the fireplace, there’s many seating options as well as two fireplaces, some greenery, and a whole other space for seating. Definitely want to come back!

Loved this cafe in downtown Detroit! Excellent options on the menu along with coffee that definitely tastes much better than the coffee chains. Would highly recommend their Avocado toast with Mocha coffee.
They also have plenty of seating available, with interesting books along with excellent WiFi.

I stumbled on this amazing cafe this morning. The staff are absolutely wonderful and friendly. I ordered the Wake Up Late coffee with Almond milk and the Ford Breakfast Wrap. The gentleman educated me on the style of coffee I selected. Let's just say, he did not disappoint.😊 Now let's talk about this wrap! It was exactly I needed to get me on a healthy start this morning.

The ambiance was so peaceful. The space was clean and quiet. Great place to come study, work, etc. Oh, they also have board games.

A hidden gem off of 3rd street in Midtown!

People, I’m going to need you to venture a block or two off of Woodward and Cass to sample some of Detroit’s best eateries.

I had the pleasure of *literally* stumbling into Awake following a weekend morning run. Not only was their food tasty (I was a fan of my avocado toast and oranges + their delicious homemade granola bar) but the staff has actually started to create our running crew specialty items like Runners Toast (avo toast with egg) for some of our regulars. This friendly, home like atmosphere is felt the second you step foot in the shop.

We were told by the staff that Awake doesn’t have a singular owner and actually functions as a collective model which was really cool! And it’s always nice to support a local business rather than a large chain. The back room has a plethora of books and board games for you to try out as well as some comfy seating.

In sum, this is a great cafe/coffee shop but also just a really neat spot to hang out or meet up with friends.

Street parking is available.

This was first visit to this quaint cafe. The staff is very friendly and full of positive energy. The decor is simple, old style and airy. There are two dining/comfort areas. There’s seating to dine as well as sofa and comfy chair seating. The menu is simple, not unnecessarily overwhelming. I was going to get a carry-out but after finally finding a place to park (construction) and receiving such a warm welcome, I decided to dine in. I had an awesome conversation with a college student from Arizona who’s interning as part of her Cultural Diversity program. I enjoyed The Canfield sandwich and a Cold Chai beverage. Typically, I eat half of a sandwich and take the other half to go…I couldn’t resist eating the whole sandwich. When you eat real food, good food that isn’t filled with trash but better ingredients…I did not feel stuffed or uncomfortable at all. They also offer cookies, brownies and breakfast items as well as a small cooler with other beverages like ginger teas that are made locally. This cafe was definitely worth the parking inconvenience and the one block walk in the heat. I will definitely go back to try other menu items and repeat the same order as well. If you want a quaint, quiet place to eat and/or have coffee or tea, this is the place.

Very clean, food prepared fresh and the decor is beautiful. I don't go very often because of my schedule but when I do, they never disappoint. The staff is super friendly.

The turkey sausage bagel sandwich is very filling! The encouraging messages on the cups adds a special touch!

Staff is still amazing, food is still delicious and the coffee is fresh and hot! Got me a fall sandwich which unfortunately I cannot remember the name of it, but I want another!

GREAT spot
I got a matcha latte with honey so tasty fast and super kind staff.
Such a compassionate atmosphere.
They have boards games you can play. Great Christian books to read while there.
Nice clean bathrooms
A little fire place.
Well worth the stop in.
Would Love to have had more time to just sit and read the.

Best and most ethically priced advacado toast I’ve ever had. $3.50 is a steal compared to all these other places charging overpriced coffees and treats. Definitely a great local option. Also great London fog lattes!! (I ate half of the toast!) 🥑 🍞

Love this place. Great vibe. They write encouraging messages on their cup sleeves 😀
Also, I had a cinnamon roll straight out of the oven 😍😍😍

I frequent this place every week as a nearby student. The coffee & food are excellent, and the service as well, everyone is very nice and i’ll stay there open to close working on school work. very cozy and great place to chat & work.

Yes yes and yes!! The coffee AND food is affordable. And it tastes good. I have a nut allergy and have had no problem. The space isn't loud and is pretty spacious, so you can really get into your own groove. The staff are super friendly, too.

It was everything I read about before coming here. We where greeted upon entering, the menu was long enough, the food was excellent and the coffee... omg! Amazing! And offcourse, the message in every cup! We will sure come back everytime we are in Detroit!

Lovely spot mid town Detroit. Welcoming, clean, good coffee and great baked goods. Ethically sourced beans. Will come again,

I was visiting Detroit for work and was tired of my stuffy af hotel and went looking for a chill spot for a coffee and breakfast. The latte affirmations were such a mood booster after a tough work week. Very smooth coffee and excellent avocado toast.

This is a great quite coffee shop that owned by a mission, they use beans from a farmer in Honduras, and the atmosphere is great to focus and get work done or have a nice conversation.

Great place for a fast bite and a conversation, or to do some work with a coffee.

I love this coffee shop. It's so cute and cozy. The staff are always sweet. Coming here is a great start to the day. Especially if you get a beverage from here, they write meaningful statements that will surely brighten your day. However the food is great too!! I usually get their deli sandwiches, I haven't tried them all but you honestly can't go wrong with anyone you select. I usually get the Cass Ave and add mayo and honey mustard. The sandwiches are always delicious. My favorite is their breakfast sandwich called Woodward Ave with bacon on everything bagel. However what won me over about this place is the coffee, I love that it's fair traded coffee beans and just freshly made.
