On a recent visit to see friends, we started a long day as anyone should, with great coffee! Located near the lakefront in Vermilion, this coffee shop has an eclectic feel, both cozy for small parties, and also with a ton of space for large groups. The counter is in the back; they have a large selection of breakfast items but the main draw is coffee. They have all the brewed standards, plus along the rear wall are dozens of roasted beans to buy to go. Beans from all over the world, roasted in different ways, some with flavoring. You can fill up bags to enjoy your favorites at home. During our visit, I ordered a bagel and their star tots. The bagels were great quality, toasted to order with any toppings. They have options for breakfast sandwiches as well. I also had a cold brew. The staff was small, but surprisingly efficient even with the amount of customers coming and going. Prices are super reasonable as well. If you're in the area, this is a cozy spot for breakfast. read more

Saturday came here to get a cool drink after the vermillion Market up the road. Thought we'd get a cool drink, use the restroom, and take advantage of the air conditioning. We sat in the big comfy chairs. Drank a tropical bubble tea and an iced churro coffee. The tropical bubble tea was good. Not too sweet, a little bit too much ice, but was very cool and refreshing. The iced churro coffee was delicious and a bit indulgent. Lots of cinnamon and nice cold foam top. Very good. We sat for about 30mins and enjoyed our drinks, cooled off, used the restroom and did some people watching. Place was very steady. People talking out and staying in. This seems pretty popular. All sorts of drinks ordered. Nice place lots of tables, booths, and comfy chairs and couch. Main order area is in the corner toward the back, the rest is seating. We'll be back. read more

The staff was smiley and friendly. We each got a drink and a bagel before getting back on the road. The french toast bagel was delicious. We were disappointed that there did not seem to be a bathroom for customers. read more

Brewed Awakening - I have to poop - Cafes Near Me - Vermilion, Ohio

We visited Brewed Awakening while briefly visiting Vermilion. The drip coffee was served yourself and despite letting staff know we were staying we were given disposable cups. The drip coffee cup seemed to be foam. The coffee itself seemed weak. I am one of those people who prefer to drip coffee out of a mug. The coffee shop was busy and it is located in the downtown area. The coffee shop offered a decent amount of seating and activities for children. Our visit to Brewed Awakening was unremarkable. read more

Coming from out of town and made a stop on our road trip. We got the egg and cheese bagel sandwich with sausage, vanilla latte, and salted caramel latte with cold foam. Highly enjoyed our coffees and meals and would recommend to check it out!! read more

Great little coffee shop. They have a wide variety of sandwiches for breakfast or lunch. Huge selection of coffees, teas, and speciality drinks. I recommend the Nutty Irishman, but likely can't go wrong with anything. The setting is beautiful with the location being smack downtown and near the harbor. Definitely worth stopping in for a visit. read more

What a great local coffee shop right in the center of town! You are walking distance from Main St., Beach. Stop by, grab a coffee, and go for a stroll. Brewed Awakening has a variety of Candy flavored coffee drinks. My favorite is the Snickers! All of these are available warm or cold. They also have a different featured flavor of coffee every day of the week. In addition to the coffee drinks, they have a variety of choices for breakfast or lunch. I tried a sausage bagel sandwich today and it was great. Fresh and delicious. They also have excellent bagels and muffins. If you are in the area, this is a great coffee spot in an amazing location. read more

This place was our home away from home this past summer. The coffee is excellent, the wait staff is attentive and friendly, and the baristas know their stuff. I'm a sucker for a good cold brew and their 15-hour brew of an Ethiopian blend is phenomenal. My wife prefers the vanilla lattes and they meet both of our needs with an extensive line of sugar free syrups. The smoothies are awesome, and their breakfast sandwiches are amazing! I've done the egg, avocado and pesto bagel, which is amazing! Highly recommend this wonderful coffeeshop in vacationland. read more

Great little coffee shop. We stopped here to get coffees. I usually do not get an iced coffee at places because I often think they aren't very good. However, I decided to get an iced coffee here and it was one of the best plain iced coffees I've ever had. My husband got a mocha and thought it was also pretty good. They are quick and friendly. Great spot to stop at. read more

Brewed Awakening - a man and a woman in a coffee shop - Cafes Near Me - Vermilion, Ohio

Visiting Vermillion, OH and needed a good cup of coffee before my meeting. I found brewed awakening via a google search and stopped in because it was only 5 minutes from the office. The staff was friendly and the menu consisted of all types of coffee/tea drinks and breakfast sandwiches. I ordered the sausage, egg and cheese on an Asiago bagel and a caramel mocha iced latte. My order was ready quickly and I was on my way to work. The bagel looked a little over cooked when I opened it. However, when I bit into it, it was still soft and flavorful. The iced latte was the perfect blend of caramel flavor and a hint of sweetness. I will be back when in the area. read more

All the things a cafe should be. All of them. Excellent ambiance. They have thought of everything. Well organized and such attention to detail throughout the whole place. Please put one of these in Tremont, Ohio! read more

Throw another shrimp on the barbie! Unmatched cuisine -- with a blend of tastes from around the world, it felt as though my taste buds were on an international pilgrimage. Come for the food - stay for the cocktails. read more

Vermilion finally got a new coffee shop and it's everything I hoped it would be and more! When I saw a convenient street spot right outside, I snatched it up quickly. When I walked in, I immediately felt at home. I probably didn't get the whole scope of their vibe because it was a little topsy turvy due to covid, but even with it slightly modified, it was still cute. It was the quaint, simple nautical decor I was hoping for. I'm not a pure coffee drinker, so I appreciated all the tea and non-coffee options they had available. I tried the Nutty Blonde, an original latte creation, and loved it! One of the big things I noticed was a sign inside that said "we ship anywhere." I love the idea of sending a friend in another state coffee from my favorite beach town. They also sell cookies, light lunch fare and loose leaf tea inside. I just adored this place and wished it was closer...I'd hang out here all the time. read more

Normally I wouldn't write a bad review. I have ordered Brewed Awakening several times through door dash and almost every time I gotten my order something has been missing on my sandwich. I know this is not a DoorDash issue. It sucks to order an egg, cheese, sausage on an everything bagel and constantly get it received wrong. It's a pretty simple order right? I either receive no sausage on it (which I pay extra for) or I get the wrong bagel. If the store is out of the bagel they should let DoorDash know to contact the seller to see what an appropriate bagel should be added instead of assuming. Would love to have my order correct more when I order it verses it always being made wrong. Also I did not end up eating this bagel because it was not even toasted and if it was I'm shock this is considered toasted. Was not a good bagel. read more

I can only say phenomenal things about Brewed Awakening! My latte was an actual work of art. I purchased the Reese's Cup Latte. Not only was my latte perfect but the service was exceptional.

My favorite coffee shop in town. I highly recommend the gyro bagel, and The Lake Effect Latte'. They have a very friendly staff, most of which remember my usual order (which is nice).... however the best feature is: no grumpy millionaires trying to get hammered at 9 am when you are are just trying to get a coffee and go. This is a legit problem with the place across the bridge. If you want great coffee and bagels this is best place in town- read more

Back in my hometown and was looking for a coffee shop as we were walking to the beach. Stumbled upon this place and it is great. Friendly service and knowledgeable about their coffee. Did not get any food but looks like a tasty menu. My little one had a chocolate chip cookie that she devoured and the Reese's latte I had was great. Will be back for sure to try out their other food and coffees read more

This is a great coffee shop! They have the gold standards along with a variety of unique drinks available. Plus? They have boba. And it's amazing! Loved the hot coffee as well as the cold brew. Staff is always super personable, friendly & quick! read more

With Summer soon approaching, I'd hope theyd consider drastically extending store hours to accomodate the influx of tourism as well as loyal patrons who work a standard 9-5 shift and cannot patronize as easily. This would bring so many more opportunities and benefit the company. I for one would definitely support this 100%!! read more

It is an amazing little coffee shop! My first time was before COVID and had an amazing experience. Second time was during this madness and they were so kind and followed CDC guidelines. I was there for over 3 hours studying and the employees were so friendly! read more

You know man, their coffee is a bit thin. There, I said it. If you're used to pour overs done with attention paid to mass, extraction time, and water temperature then you're going to come to the same conclusion. That said, I threw an extra star in there because they have a kids section and that's just how I make my decisions these days. Toys, table, chalkboard; your kids will have something to do while you chug the beverage that you drink because they won't quit waking up at all hours of the night. I hope this place sticks around. read more

Cute little place but coffee is not very good it's watered down also got a breakfast sandwich which was mediocre
