I was driving from Hartford County to Mystic and Yelp-searched for a highly rated coffee shop near…read moremy route. Brewed Awakening stood out as having a good rating and being close to my route. Brewed Awakening does not present as a craft coffee shop focused on bean origins and things like that. It's a small, old school coffee shop, with limited inside place to sit and stand. The space is not fancy. It's more functional. But I'll tell you something . . . almost every usable inch of that space was occupied by people who seemed like long time regulars. Maybe like 5 to 6 people, but people who were happy to be there. The coffee was reasonably priced. The food, included hot dogs, donuts, breakfast sandwiches, classic sandwiches. Also reasonably priced by modern standards. There seems to be a New York connection to the shop because they use Nathan's Hot Dogs and the donuts on the counter came from New York. The woman who I assume was an owner was the only person working. She was very nice and helpful. I suspect she's a reason why they have a loyal customer base. I thought about ordering a hot dog at 8 a.m., but I had food plans in Mystic. I just ordered a Black Iced Coffee. The ice cubes were that thin round tube style with holes on the top and bottom, that you used to see a lot in restaurant fountain soda. The iced coffee itself was about average. If I just wanted a high end black iced coffee, I probably wouldn't return. I would definitely return to check out their reasonably priced food in warmer months when you can sit outside. In any event, if you're looking for a place with a lot of character, Brewed Awakening would be a good choice. It's close to the Route 9 Exit that you take on your way to the Clinton Outlets. 3.5 Stars

There are a couple more full service breakfast spots in the area, but Brewed Awakening is a great option when you just want to grab a coffee or a quick bite!

Lots of interesting looking specials as well as off the standard menu. Efficient, effective, effusive Emily was my server. I was torn between the housemade corned beef hash and the raspberry French toast, so eeeE suggested both as they can provide a half portion of the French toast. Sold! So, two eggs over medium, CBH, Cajun spicy home fries, and the 1/2 portion of French toast stuffed w raspberry jelly (please don't tell my doctor I ordered (and ate) all this food!). I met the owner, Deb, who seems to hold court on a regular basis. She started 11 years ago. Interesting lady who had to leave for an appt. I would have enjoyed talking w her. So, the food.... everything perfectly cooked, and delicious. The French toast had a distinct crunch on the outside. When I asked eeeE, she said it was corn flakes! What a great idea, which I will now have to try at home. You know when you have several things on your plate (in my case, several plates) that are equally delicious and you don't know what to end on. Such was my dilemma. And I wished the plates were softer.... I would have eaten them, too! Great food, great service, prices in line with other eateries / diners. 5 yummy stars

I was SO pleasantly surprised by my experience here! A must-try!…read more This place is ran so efficiently but I didn't feel as though we were rushed in any means. It is so home and cozy, seriously the ideal breakfast spot. The staff was super friendly and helpful with questions/allergy concerns. If the weather permits, I'd recommend snagging an outside table. I ordered the Eggs Benedict Florentine with a GF english muffin and was blown away. I can be super picky about my benedicts and was not expecting much at all. The eggs were cooked to perfection, the hollandaise was rich and tangy, and both the spinach and tomatoes were super fresh. Dipping their potatoes in the yolk/hollandaise reminisce was delish. I really made the dishwashers job easier that day, haha. Obviously one needs to get french toast or pancakes for the table. I totally get the hype around this french toast. So thick without being dry, even if you don't go the cinnamon route. Do be warned it's a lot more feeling than you might anticipate, I'd say one person won't need more than 2 slices! Added bonus: really well mixed chocolate milk.
