We were able to try almost all of the flavors of gelato they had before selecting our choices. Both me and my fella got Affogato with two flavors of gelato and a double shot of espresso.

Whenever I'm in this area again, I will definitely be stopping by here.

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

The staff there were very nice and worked hard to get our order to us quickly! There was maybe one table inside, but it was tight.

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!

Happy to find a local small business to support…read more Ordered a simple iced coffee paired with a cheddar jalapeño bagel. Bagel was the BEST I've ever had. Great spice, and the cold cream cheese that is served on the side was its perfect companion. Can't wait to explore the menu more.

This is an aggressively overpriced, gimmick-driven operation that prioritizes social-media optics…read moreover competence, safety, or coffee quality. The entire setup feels careless and amateurish, from the chaotic workflow to the lack of basic crowd and traffic control. The parking situation is not just inconvenient--it's unsafe. With no barriers, no clear flow, and vehicles cutting through pedestrian areas, it's shocking that no serious incident has occurred yet. Operational standards are poor. Sanitation practices are questionable, including uncovered ice being transported from outdoor areas after being placed on the ground. That alone should concern anyone paying premium prices. The drinks themselves are little more than sugar delivery systems with a token splash of espresso. Flavor is buried under syrups and sweeteners, masking what appears to be low-quality coffee. Nothing here feels original; it's a collection of copied concepts executed badly. Service is slow, the product is inconsistent, and the pricing is unjustifiable. This isn't a serious coffee shop--it's a novelty stand selling sugar and spectacle at inflated prices. Better coffee, faster service, and safer conditions can be found almost anywhere else, for far less money.

I'm absolutely addicted to their iced hazelnut coffee, brewed from the flavored bean without any added syrup--it's bold, rich, and packed with strong hazelnut notes. I actually drive nearly an hour just to get it, at least once a month on a weekend day. Their pumpkin pie coffee, available only during the Autumn and only served hot, is another favorite of mine. I stopped by today to redeem my $10 birthday reward and ordered two iced hazelnut coffees--one with a shot of espresso, perfectly brewed by Brianna. No matter how busy this Hamptons gem gets, I'm always in and out in under 10 minutes. They also serve breakfast sandwiches and pastries (not really my thing), but the coffee is so outstanding that it more than makes up for it.

The coffee was disgusting and not even hot--I had to send it back, and they still brought me a completely different drink than what I originally ordered.

For $45, this experience was absolutely not worth it. Save your money and go elsewhere.
