    Plain Bagel & Snickers Iced Latte
    Jocelyn A.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Love ambiance and tea, i go with my kids and day love the machine to take pictures and the eats a lot of food and smokey and bread there there is a paicefull this food place

    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.

    Good coffee place to check out . Staff were super nice and gave me suggestions to different food. I can tell that there was a stage with a piano which is really cool . They might have social hours also which is unique .

    Unique coffee shop featuring European pastries, beer, and more, as well as unique coffee drinks! Cute place to catch up with a friend or get some work done. They have board games and a piano as well. The staff was super friendly and helpful explaining things on the menu!

    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.

    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!

    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.

There are large tables for groups to come together socially or for business. They offer free Wi-Fi. The seating in the back is very private.

She is a kind and friendly person who took the time to explain how to make reservations for the Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony that can be scheduled on Saturdays or Sundays. The Yirgacheffe coffee was incredible, so smooth! It is from Ethiopia--the birthplace of coffee. The food menu is vegetarian (no meat served) The noise level was perfect, indoor seating is plentiful (no outdoor seating), and parking is plentiful in the lot in front. In the restroom, the toilet was a bidet. I wish the menu were in a larger font to make it easier to read.

I placed my order, and she told me to go find a table and the food would be out soon. As soon as I sat down, she came out and brought me my coffee. I asked for cream and sugar, and she said it was on the counter inside. It was a giant cup of coffee (which is awesome) but it was filled to the top. So I burned my hand when I spilled it, trying to get in sugar. By this time I was very frustrated. I went back to my table and my food came up almost immediately. The server was smiling and friendly. The food looked amazing and tasted even better. Iordered almond les leches french toast, cheese grits and bacon. The greats are okay, but nothing specia but the french toast was out of this world. It was thick, cut, smoked bacon that tasted fantastic. The server and the food saved this visit for me. I am going to assume that the woman at the counter was having a bad day and not let it keep me from coming back.

The ube latte was perfectly sweet with a strong ube flavor. The crème brûlée cruffin had a top that was so crispy from the toasted sugar that I couldn't cut into it, and the bottom was just stuffed full of cream. It was super messy to eat and impossible to share- next time I am getting my own. We also had the pandan coconut cupcake, which was good but not as exciting as the cruffin. The pandan and coconut were both equally strong flavors- I liked it better than my husband did. The Thai tea cake in a cup was also excellent, but outshone by the cruffin. They were out of a few other things we wanted to try by 11am on a Saturday, so get there early if you want something specific.

Similar fixing to banh mi, it tasted fine but the pork was rough and tasted ok. They have gorgeous pastries and Vietnamese coffee drinks, I would come back for one of those. We split a cup of cakes (cute!), Boston Thai Tea. Flavor was spot on and appreciated that it wasn't too sweet. I would stop here again if I was in the area and needed a banh mi but don't see that happening. I would rather go to Federal or Aurora for one with more flavor.
