    Love the breakfast sandwiches (Rise & Shine) and the friendly atmosphere! Plus the pun rocks make me smile. Brave the construction to support a wonderful local establishment with a clever name! Totally worth it!

    Soup and salad combo, plus fruit cup. Chicken salad (salad), and chicken noodle soup

    Still great. Tons of seating. Friendly, homey, community atmosphere. Family-run small business. Update: They have a notice right now near the register that they're raising prices August 1, but the price of everything has gone up since they last priced things and it is more than overdue. Parking is still somewhat limited and torn up due to construction on the property out-lot, but that's not this café's fault at all.

    This was as fast as I could get picture.... Half home lol. Milky Way espresso drink and 2 cake parfaits. 1 ) s'mores and 2) salted caramel. The girls are already begging me for another. Big and open, the baristas are kind, the coffee is delicious and all the food is home made! My kid said it was the best thing she's ever had!!so delicious! You should definitely come to Brewed Awakenings!

    I always look forward to making the drive to Saline for errands because it means I can hit up Brewed Awakenings for some great coffee and a scone or muffin or a sandwich if it's lunchtime. This trip I had a soy vanilla latte but next time I might try one of their summer specials, a honey lavender latte. The coffee is excellent and so are all the sandwiches, wraps and baked goods but what really makes Brewed Awakenings special is their commitment to community. They make their place a great spot to hang out and meet up for small groups or a go-to to get away and study or work (there's wifi and plenty of space to spread out and separate). Find a sunny spot next to the big windows in summer or cozy up next to the fireplace in winter. There are often fliers tacked up about local events and they consistently collect goodies for military care packages.

    My husband and I went in a few minutes before the cafe closing to kill time while waiting for our daughter to get out of a movie. As a RNY patient who can't drink whole milk or sugar, I was thrilled to find that they had hazelnut sugar free syrup, so I ordered a skim milk sugar free latte, and an oatmeal cookie for my daughter to go. Unfortunately it was definitely not what I received. I watched the young lady with pink hair pour regular vitamin D milk in the mug, and it did not taste like the torani sugar free syrup that I have on my counter. I had my husband try it to verify, which he said didn't taste like sugar free syrup, either, but maybe the coffee covered up the aftertaste. (He only drinks regular coffee.) I had him go ask to verify they used sugar free, which she stated she did. After getting sick after I got home, I can verify that it probably wasn't. It's my own fault for not having her remake it - she stated to my husband she would, but I trusted it was in fact sugar free, and I didn't want to have to wait since we had to pick up my daughter. If I ever go back, I'd probably just get regular coffee. It is a cute little spot, and isn't too far from work

    My Delizioso Sandwich at Brewed Awakenings Cafe

    I always enjoy going to Brewed Awakenings. It is a convenient stop for us on the way to or from the airport. The coffee here is good and my wife particularly enjoys the flavored coffees they offer. The food is actually very good as well, as we often have dinner or lunch here. Their soups are excellent, particularly the mushroom brie. The sandwiches are likewise tasty and there is a very good selection from which to choose. I particularly like the Delizioso. The atmosphere is very relaxed and casual. The dining area is a pleasant place to sit, eat, drink and surf. They have occasional open-mic nights with local talent for those looking for something more lively. The prices are quite fair and the staff are very pleasant. It is worth a stop if you are in the area and want a coffee and/or a light bite.

    I never would have known about this adorable cafe hidden in a strip mall off of Michigan Avenue if not for Yelp. Lots of indoor seating, WiFi, very affordable coffee drinks, a local authors corner with books and some other gift things available that support Saline organizations or schools. Not sure if anyone ever plays the piano in the corner but it's clear this is a business that is invested in its local community. This is my new go-to for working when I need a break from the home office!

    I saw all the amazing reviews about Shawarma Shop and decided to give it a try ، and honestly, I'm…read morenot surprised! The place is connected to a gas station, but don't let that fool you ! the food is incredible! We ordered both beef and chicken shawarma. The portion sizes were broken g and great, and the flavor was absolutely juicy yummy and delicious. Although the garlic sauce was a bit heavy for me, but still tasty The fries are one of my favorite. They were perfectly crispy and you can tell they fry them really well. Prices are very reasonable, and even though the order took a little time, it was definitely worth the waite. The place is small, but it's a hidden gem that deserves a visit. I also liked that there's a mini pantry connected to it. a fun little bonus!

    I LOVE a good shawarma. It's one of my favorite sandwiches. So when I drove past a place called…read more"Shawarma Shop", I was really excited. I said "Shawarma is in their name... it's next to a gas station... I bet this place makes a good shawarma". I was sorely disappointed. The chicken did not appear to be cut from a spit. If it was, it was not cut immediately because it was sitting in a chafing dish. Because of this, the meat was very dry and lacked flavor/seasoning. The garlic sauce made up for the lack of flavor by overcompensating; it was the most potent garlic sauce I've ever had. I don't mind some lettuce in my shawarma sandwich, but there was a lot of lettuce, which bulked it up. The pickles were right, at least. The balance of the sandwich was all off and all I tasted was garlic. Fries were pretty good, but they were over-seasoned. Service was fast and friendly. Price was fine but I can get a much better shawarma sandwich elsewhere for less. Overall, I was not impressed and will not likely return. It's the next day and two tooth brushings and I still have a strong flavor of garlic in my mouth... yuck. (Hamido in Dearborn has an amazing shawarma for 25% less; totally worth the drive!)

This is a super cute spot that specializes in smoked meat and sausages... yes please. We ordered at the counter and the employees were very friendly and helpful with great suggestions. I got the Michigan asparagus, onion, and cheddar brat, and Nate got the currywurst. We also got a cup of chili to share. We got a buzzer for our order and then sat down in the heated outdoor space. They have a lot of outdoor seating and some firepits, so I really want to come back in the fall or summer. Our food was done quickly and we had fun picking stuff from the toppings bar. They had chopped onions, jalapenos, banana peppers, sauerkraut etc. and lots of sauces. I LOVED the brat. It was easy to bite and not super snappy which I didn't mind. The bun was perfectly toasted and the flavor combination was delicious. Kind of like a broccoli cheddar vibe. I had some of the currywurst which was also delicious! The chili was packed with brisket and pulled pork, and was really tasty. There is a bar so you can enjoy a beer with your sausage, but we just grabbed some cold drinks from the cooler. They even have ice cream and floats!! There are lots of great items for sale as well, including lots of pickled things, frozen pierogi, meat sticks and jerky, and they even have Trenary Toast (#iykyk). I am already planning my next visit to try more brats and the brisket sandwich. This is such a great concept and I really wish we had a place like this in Grand Rapids.
