This spot feels like such a find. You can tell right away this isn't just another coffee shop. Wake & Take opened in 2020 and was built to be more than that a café with a European feel that doubles as a true community space. And honestly, that's exactly how it comes across when you're there. The coffee is so good. Smooth, rich, and consistent every time. It's the kind of place where you stop mid-sip and go "okay yeah... this is it." And the treats? Just as strong. Everything tastes fresh, not overly sweet, and actually complements the coffee instead of overpowering it. You can tell there's real intention behind what they're serving. What really makes it stand out though is the vibe. It's warm, a little lively, and feels like a place people actually gather not just grab and go. Unless you want. Whether you're meeting someone, working, or just hanging out, it fits. This is one of those places that turns into a regular without you even realizing it. The extended hours are a plus. read more

This Snickers latte was super sweet, but I absolutely loved it. It was a nice morning treat! The bagel was also a wonderful compliment, and it's hard to mess up a plain bagel. The space was super cute and spacious. It's two stories with tall ceilings and lots of windows bringing in lots of lights. You have tables and couches giving different seating arrangements for reading, hanging out, or working on your laptop. I was there near the holidays during the day, and it was pretty empty making it easy to get a spot and stay for a long time. read more

Fue un experiencia Formidable, un sitio muy agradable. La Atencion Magnifica. #wakeandtakecoffeeshop #buzzybooth

I stumbled upon this cafe and I'm so happy I did. First of all the place is adorable. Clean and open, lots of seating, and tables inside and outside. There was a loft area with comfy couches, board games, and outlets to charge your devices. The staff were really nice and the selection of pastries was incredible. I didn't know what to choose!! The guy recommended the cheese danish and it was so good!! I had a pistachio latte and sat awhile and read my book. It was the perfect start to my day. Now if only I lived closer!!! read more

GASP! I never left a review for my FAVORITE coffee shop! My friend first brought me here after an Instagram reel enticed a visit. I have returned many times over after that first visit. GREAT tasting coffee. I take it black so I can enjoy a little sweet treat on the side. It has a second floor and plenty of space. The cafe is very quiet and a great space to read a book or do work. The service is consistently on point. I love this place and their coffee. read more

Love their coffee here and atmosphere. Staff is always friendly and place is always clean. Love all the light in this shop. Vibe is always quiet and calm even though there are many people coming in & out. Loft area is my favorite! read more

Located in Aurora, Wake & Take is doing it all. Seriously amazing pastries and desserts, delicious coffee, beer, and wine, cozy seating areas, board games, karaoke nights, and even trivia in Russian! So if you're wondering what to do this week, go check them out. Plus, I got to try Ukrainian beer for the first time and it was such a fun surprise, so let's dig in. what I tried: Oat milk latte Kyivske Lager (Ukrainian beer) Apple & walnut strudel Sausage in a blanket Samsa beef pie Chocolate Temptation cake best bites: Everything was great, but my favorite had to be the sausage in a blanket specially since it reminded me of a kolache, and I'll always love that. The chocolate cake was rich and decadent, and the beer? 8% and super easy to drink. That caught me off guard in the best way. Check them out, swing by one of their events, and if you can play the piano... you just might get a free drink! read more

I'm definitely a regular here- considering I live in the apartments right on top of the coffee shop. I love this place. Staff are always so friendly, I love that they have couches and the upstairs nook is so cozy! I love that they are open late, I can grab a sweet treat on the weekends after 8-9pm which is great. Their food is so good! Turkey croissant sandwich is my fav. Lattes are always perfect! I have also bought whole bean coffee from them, and it's very high quality and delicious. read more

I think I really liked this cafe. The aesthetics were calming and reminded me of the cafes in Europe. The customer service was great and the baristas were patient with me as I'd lost my voice. I decided on the hot caramel macchiato and chicken sandwich. The 12oz was a bit small for the price you pay. I'm not much of a hot coffee drinker but decided to indulge due to my sore throat. It was okay, didn't taste much like caramel macchiato but it wasn't nasty. I think I'd have to come back to try it in iced form to see how I really feel about it. The chicken sandwich used sliced deli chicken with tomato, lettuce, cheese, and some sort of sauce/spread. I want to say it was mayo but it had a little more flavor than mayo does. It was pretty mild in flavor, if it had a chipotle aioli it would've been out of this world. I have a love dislike relationship with it because even though not a bunch of flavor I couldn't wait for the next bite. All in the same, however, I wish it did have more flavor. The bread was perfect. It was crisped but not hard and super crunchy so it provided a nice texture contrast and it didn't hurt my teeth. read more

Good place to meet up and catch up with friends. I ordered a Hawaiian Strawberries Tea. It tastes much more like dragonfruit and was just an excellent drink on a hot summer's day. The service is courteous and down to earth. They have a pager system and once your food/drinks are ready you will get buzzed. Then you go to the pickup counter to grab your goodies. Also ordered a carrot cake. Other than lacking frosting, the flavors were pretty good. However I probably wouldn't order it again. Wake & Take Cafe is a great spot to meet up with friends, study and/or get your mind in the right mindset to get work done. Would return to try the other pastries and drinks. read more

Wake & Take Cafe and Event Center - Iced Snickers Coffee 20oz Coffee Latte 12oz - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I checked out Wake & Take Cafe because I wanted to try a new coffee shop. As soon as you walk in, its quite spacious with ample seating. They have a good selection of pastries, breakfast items, coffee and other drinks. We had the beef pie, waffle with creme brulee filling, peach shaped dessert and iced caramel macchiato. I enjoyed the macchiato and the flavor of the meat pie. The pastries were good too but the fillings were just okay. I was excited for the creme brulee filled waffle but the filling did not taste like creme brulee. All in all, I would recommend checking them out. I will definitely be checking them out again. read more

Finally considering myself a regular here! I absolutely love this place. I always stop by for a chai or a matcha and they never disappoint. The drinks are fantastic and they have sooo many yummy treats! They give you a free cookie with your drink but they have great options for savory pastries, sweet pastries, cakes, etc. Not to mention that the space is adorable!! It's cozy yet spacious. They've got some couches upstairs if you want to sit and chat and even play board games. One of my favorite spots in Aurora! read more

We've been here a couple times and really love the selection of food and drinks that they offer. The vibe is super chill. Everything is delicious and fairly priced. This is the perfect place to come have some coffee and a little treat and read a book upstairs by the window. read more

They are hands down the best cage I've been to! We went a few times during our weekend of classes and is BY FAR the best find in Aurora. I was blown away the minute I walked in, it is clean, welcoming and one of the most beautiful cafes I've been to. Everyone who worked there was incredibly kind and very helpful with the delicacies in the case to the different kinds of coffee. I wanted to get to know them all! Everything in that pastry case was homemade with love and it is in the taste. My favorites were the Crimean Chebureki, it's the one that looks like a peach in the photos. It is this light but cakey pastry with a pastry cream inside that will blow your mind. My other favorite was the Dubai cake. There are no words for how amazing this melt in your mouth cake is. It's light and airy with a pistachio flavor that brings tears of joy to your eyes. Everything about Wake & Take is well worth the drive! I can't recommend it more! read more

Best Coffee in the area. Also outstanding pastries and other snacks to enjoy. Most of them made on site. Great place to bring a date for Coffee and pastries. It's my god to place. Great staff and service. read more

Excellent coffee shop chai masala. Pastry selection is beautiful, and I love the peace through pastry arrangement (Ukranian and Russian delights side by side). Coffee smells high quality, too. One thing, it's a touch loud, so if a meeting is needed, go to the upper level. read more

It wasn't just a regular coffee shop. It was definitely a coffee shop with an experience as soon as you walk in, the customer service was outstanding. The barista was very understanding and patience. Bathrooms and the place was very clean. We grabbed matcha and caramel macchiatos, which were delicious especially with the raspberry flavor. read more

It's a super cozy modern but warm space. The staff are sweet & very helpful. They have an amazing selection of European pastries. The macadamia latte has a delectable nutty profile. The lavender white mocha latte is pleasantly floral and just sweet enough. We loved everything about this cafe and will absolutely be back soon! read more

A wonderful ambiance to work, meet with a friend, relax during your day. They have an impressive selection of herbal teas (hard to find at a "typical coffee shop!) and delicious baked goods that actually taste homemade (the honey cake is my favorite). I also love the diversity of the crowd: students, business people, friends, family. The staff is warm and present, and the atmosphere is simply lovely. read more

What a delightful coffee spot! There's a lot of selection of unique coffees (I got a snickers iced coffee and it had actual snickers pieces in it!) And there's a lot of fun savory treats too. Imagine going into a coffee place and getting a pierogi! (I didn't this time because we were in a rush, but I imagined it very well after seeing it on their menu) And also the environment is super spacious and saw a lot of productive people doing work on their laptop (not in my imagination, actually saw it.) Would love to come back to try other items on their menu! read more

The cinnamon roll is incredible. Soft and crumbly. Heavy on the cinnamon filling and then cream cheese frosting on top. I've been watching this spot since it opened, and it keeps getting better. Comfy leather couches upstairs. More coffee and pastries. And prices are bomb. read more

This place is everything I could want from a coffee shop! Plenty of options for drinks (I had a pumpkin pie chai latte that was great), a ton of comfy seats, and quite a few delicious looking pastries (plus a mouthwatering smell from freshly baking pastries). The ambiance was really cozy but fresh and staff was friendly. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is a very spacious place to meet for coffee or do some relaxation in one of their comfy tables or even venture up to the 2nd floor. I came in for the snicker coffee. From other posters, it appeared really delicious and I was looking for something special. Since it was my first time, I asked how it is served. Hot. Ok. Got the larger size. How was the Snicker coffee? It was ok. Yes, just ok. Maybe I had too high of expectation. I was surprised to see one small piece of snicker on top of whip cream. Several would have been nicer. While writing this review, I checked out other Yelpers photos. Definitely, I got the wrong end of the deal. Cold iced is possible and more than one snicker seems to be the norm. This place is a nice place to chill, so I will leave it at 4 star. read more

Great study spot! Except the last time I went. A family came in and their kids were being loud and disruptive that I left. Overall, great late night study area! Lately, their iced coffee drinks have been way too sweet. I feel they've been putting too much syrup. But the hot coffee drinks are better. Definitely work on the sweetness of the iced drinks. read more

Right when we walked in, there wasn't any greeting of some sort. Even with ordering, I didn't feel as welcomed. The space is pretty spacious. There is an upstairs to the cafe shop and plenty of tables/chairs Matcha latte w/ vanilla syrup 4/5: pretty good and flavorful! I enjoy this a lot Caramel latte 4/5: I really enjoy this as well. It was a tad bit sweeter but def do recommend! read more

Great little coffee shop somewhat hidden in an apartment complex. The latte I had was one of the best I ever had (and I've had a lot). They had a decent selection of pastries, breakfast and other food items. The atmosphere was nice as well. Not too small with a really neat upstairs sitting area. There was a nice baby grand piano and a small stage area for entertainment. I didn't get the backstory, but it seemed to be owned by some Ukrainian folks as the gal behind the counter was from there and spoke broken English. They also sold an anti-war t-shirt. I highly recommend you make a visit. read more

Honestly, not a great experience. I asked for an 8 oz hot chocolate, but the girl at the counter charged me for a 16 oz without saying anything. And the drink? It was cold and tasted like tap water mixed with chocolate powder -- definitely not what you'd expect from a cafe. I saw this place hyped up by an Instagram influencer, but it didn't live up to any of it. The vibe, the service, and especially the drinks were all pretty disappointing. Wouldn't recommend it. read more

Cool little coffee shop in Aurora! It's quite minimalistic inside. There are tables on the ground level as well as in the upstairs loft area. There's a stage ready for live entertainment. They have free Wi-Fi, so it's a convenient place to do some work or surf the internet while you enjoy your drink & bakery item. They offer so many different food options: croissants, cookies, Danishes, muffins, scones, sandwiches, etc. I think I had a dessert coffee! I ordered the Snickers Coffee. As the pieces of Snickers melted, it made the drink seem like a Mocha! I actually enjoyed chewing the peanut bits at the bottom of the cup! Such a decadent cup of coffee! I like their logo... an owl with a coffee cup! It's so artistically rendered! I would definitely return to get the Snickers Coffee and maybe try a baked good. I love little independently owned coffee shops! read more

Wake and Take is always a great experience. The coffee is great and the pastries are amazing!

I've visited this establishment 4 times now and have yet to be disappointed. The service is perfect! The baristas are so kind and incredibly helpful. I've tried many of their recommendations and have been pleased each time. The macarons are delicious. I got one of each! Periodically, they have free samples. There's a large screened tv on the main floor that plays a loop of a fireplace. I love to sit close to that tv and enjoy coffee with my bestie. read more

Service and food/drinks are amazing! This shop has such a cool vibe! 10 out of 10 highly recommend! We tried the mango cake, honey cake, European cake, and macaroons, everything was delicious. For drinks we tried the strawberry lemonade tea, iced coffee and caramel macchiato. Coffees were strong and not too sweet which is perfect! The strawberry drink was my son's but I couldn't resist and I drank more than him. Best strawberry lemonade I've ever had. Best of all they had a DJ and the music was spectacular! read more

Stopped by this cozy little spot and tried their iced Snickers coffee--honestly, it was really good. The blend of chocolate, caramel, and a hint of nuttiness was spot on, and it wasn't overly sweet like some novelty drinks tend to be. The coffee itself was smooth and strong enough to balance it out. Definitely coming back to try more! read more
