Absolutely delightful establishment. I've been twice and the atmosphere and friendly customer service plus the delicious food and coffee is what resonates with me. My pal's rig was having electrical issues and usually we meet across town at a supermarket for coffee and it's not that grocery store drip isn't great - well - it isn't great. So I got to choose and I remembered this local coffee shop so we ventured over and it was a bit rambunctious inside with happy patrons so we moseyed out back to the patio. It was roomy and nearly empty so we could visit but it was also a bit chilly so we returned back inside and sat at the bar in the adjacent room. Again comfy chairs, friendly service and just a vibey atmosphere where you can go to hang out, visit, enjoy delicious treats and great tasting coffee. Oh we'll be back again. No more grocery store drip for us! read more

Ordered coffee and waffles at the counter at the same time. I was told they didn't have waffles today. When I said we'd probably head out to find waffles for the kids, I was curtly told, "well, we already started the coffee," making it clear I was expected to pay and leave. I paid for the coffee and left. The drink tasted burnt. The barista was short, dismissive, and unwelcoming towards us. An impressively poor experience in under two minutes. Won't be back. read more

Great coffee and breakfast. Service was better than most coffee shops. Has covered outside seating for wonderful summer mornings.

absolutely wonderful place.. was in line behind the guy who left the last review.. Not exactly what happened. I had wonderful service and the food and drinks were the best. The owner helped me and was so wonderful. Beautiful outside and inside. they host food trucks and do a ton for the community. read more

Did not order the food itself but the coffee was fantastic, I came in thinking they had fraps just like other coffee shops but this surprised me. A hole in the wall coffee shop with chill vibes inside the shop. The service was good they were nice. I ordered the peppy latte and my partner got the cappuccino. Both had good flavor! read more

This place is amazing and a local delight. The people are wonderful and kind. The drinks and food are great and the warm and caring atmosphere created is unbeatable. They learn their patron's names and go out of their way to ensure that their customers are cared for. My elderly father frequents this coffee shop, they keep an eye on him and ensure he is welcomed like family when he walks in the door. It's a community spot that cares about its community and the people in it. read more

Service is well served. Good coffee.....easy to communicate with me thru writing notes what I needed.

I'm sorry to be an outlier here, but I just can't recommend this place. I want to love it. It's walking distance to my home. It's a community-based business. It's got coffee! What's not to love? I've tried it half a dozen times or so, with a variety of different friends, and every single time I got an unfriendly vibe from the owner, like she just doesn't want to be there. And every friend has commented on it. The last time I was there she was complaining to another customer about how much she has to work and described a day when it was three minutes to closing and there were still people on the patio. The nerve! Your customers enjoying the environment you provided! Gadzooks! And I got all the business reasons why I couldn't get a cup of decaf. Every single visit has been like this. No more. If you're not happy providing customer service, you've chosen a very challenging career path. I'd like to enjoy my visits there, but I don't want to know how the sausage is made read more

Went here for lunch today. A limited menu, but the BLT on sourdough was delicious. The soup for the date with clam chowder; definitely homemade and was very good. A good place to go for a visit as well as eat. read more

Listened to a band here, had a beer, and a sandwich from a food cart. Had a very nice time. I'm sure their coffee and other food is great. Just wish they were closer to where I live in SW Portland. read more

Love it here! Great atmosphere and great service. My pup loves it here too! Good place to read a book. read more

Awakening Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Milwaukie, Oregon

The coffee and lattes tastes great. Love their sandwiches and soups. For a Friday evening out, in the summer they have music and food trucks out on the deck and lawn. They're really community oriented. read more

This place is fantastic! Right on the bike path with bike racks, sporting a beautiful and peaceful patio, well-behaved dogs are welcomed and given a free puppacino, and the drinks, pastries, and owners are THE BEST IN TOWN. Joe and Ann are super friendly and accommodating! They have weeknight evening events like occasional food carts and are now preparing for a Farmer's Market out back in May! Talk about community involvement, this is the real deal. My mama and I adore this cafe. read more

What a cool place to kick back and enjoy a summer evening with Fresh Air and his gang! Plenty of room, dog friendly, ok to bring our own chairs for the lawn but also had plenty. Very welcoming, chilled out atmosphere tucked away in a spot tourists might never find unless we talk about it. read more

Excellent coffee and food in a comfortable atmosphere. They have a very nice outdoor patio behind the building.

Good, service, and ambiance. All these you will truly enjoy :) this place is AWESOME. We just moved from Florida to Oregon and felt so welcomed at this place. read more

We love this place! We walk here on the trolley trail on weekend mornings with our daughter fairly frequently. The owners have always been sweet and kind. We can almost always find seats in the shade to relax and enjoy a drink and breakfast in their beautiful outdoor space. I'm so glad this place exists in our community! read more

After being asked to leave because I had an emotional support dog one of the nice employees came out to my car and explained they are cracking down on only service dogs being in the food and restaurants. She let me know they have a covered dry nice area outside for emotional support dogs and their owners. I happily enjoyed an amazing tea and got some work done with my little Yorkie in their cute outside portion of the cafe. read more

Awakening Coffee - a small dog wearing a pink hat and sunglasses - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Milwaukie, Oregon

This is a great place to enjoy a coffee and pastry. The staff is fabulous and if you have a dog along the back patio is perfect. They also provide a great treat for your furry friend. read more

The peppy latte is the greatest thing I have ever tasted (even made decaf!) Very friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere- the patio is a must see. read more

I was pleasantly surprised how I felt checking out the new coffee place here in Oak Grove. The owners are very friendly. The patio area is relaxing and tidy! It will be nice out there as the plants grow. Looking forward to trying a breakfast sandwich. I was given a cinnamon roll which was delicious. I will be visiting. read more

great local spot. super friendly and welcoming atmosphere with great brea sandwiches.

A very friendly place with great coffee and tasty pastries. They have a nice covered patio out back as an added bonus. Afternoon beer, wine and food trucks expected in July! read more

This is now my go-to place. If you are looking for great coffee (Illy!! For those who know it...), friendly owners and a wonderful indoor and outdoor place (with heaters) - check them out! RIght on the bike route too and they have a large bike rack and have hosted large bike groups too. Plus you'll be supporting a locally owned, small business. The owners have been expanding too , adding a tent area to expand their outdoor, covered options and they have started having food trucks in the evenings (they serve beer and wine). Those hours won't be posted though as it isn't a regular thing (yet at least) but if you follow them on FB, they announce them. This is SUCH a wonderful addition to the neighborhood - so welcoming, a true gathering place. OH - and for those especially Covid conscious, they also have a walk-up window. You don't even need to go inside to order. :-) read more

Great coffee and pastries! I love this new coffee place in the neighborhood! The people who run it are so nice and really delivery top notch service! They have a cute back patio to enjoy your cup of coffee. I will definitely be back! read more

What a marvelous new neighborhood coffee spot! Absolutely delicious coffee, charming owners and a delightful outdoor seating area. And they have homemade soup and pie!! read more

Great new local option for Oak Grove. Full menu of drinks and they use Illy espresso beans, my favorite. Pastries are fantastic with many vegan and GF options. The shaded outdoor seating area is great for morning coffee and reading the news. It's going to be a great place to hang out at especially as the weather gets warmer and indoor restrictions are in place. read more
