    This is such a hidden gem spot in Aurora. I also noticed that this is the place to be when you want to get out of the house and study for school. Wake & Take is open very late in the day which is a plus, since other coffee shops literally close at 5pm etc. The atmosphere is very chill with decent music. There is a grand piano for those who want to show off their skills. My iced Carmel macchiato is really tasty and the best thing is that you can customize how much ice you want, milk, syrups etc which is awesome.

    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.

    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!

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. The gentleman running the counter was very friendly and efficient, even when they were busy. Seriously, get the crème brûlée cruffin. I know I will be back for it.

There's a free parking lot behind the store, where you can even take advantage of the back entrance. The store isn't meant to be industrial chic or hipster, offering up a few communal picnic tables against faded white walls. What decor is present is probably artwork from a local artist on sale. Other packaged goods from other small businesses are also on offer. This means your eyes will immediately be drawn to their display cases of gorgeous pastries and the kitchen churning them out behind a glass divider. For the traditionalist, you can get a standard variety of croissants and muffins. But be a little adventurous. You might have seen their ultra buttery Ube and Pandan scones around town for sale at other businesses, and if you're a fan of those Southeast Asian flavors, be sure to try out one of their delectable cupcakes, cakes, or tarts. They're rich yet not too sweet (IYKYK) and pack a visual and gustatory punch. I pretty much never leave without getting one of their Strawberry Croissants too, a perfectly sized sweet treat of flaky pastry with light cream and fresh strawberries. Of their drinks and sandwiches, I'm a big fan of their Vietnamese Egg Coffee, but the Ube Latte was a bit too sweet for me. Just know you will be wired for the rest of the day unless you're a heavy daily coffee drinker! The banh mi's are certainly loaded and taste fresh, but they're less traditional than something you'll find on Federal and the chicken was overly black peppered for my taste.

We've dined inside before, but yesterday we stopped in to pick up pastries and were reminded why this is one of our favorite bakeries in Denver. We grabbed an éclair, a blueberry muffin, and two ham and Swiss croissants. Every single thing was outstanding. The croissants are incredibly flaky and buttery with the perfect ratio of ham and Swiss, the blueberry muffin was moist without being overly sweet, and the éclair disappeared embarrassingly fast. We always have every intention of taking pictures... and then we take one bite and completely forget. That's probably the best compliment we can give.

The place was modest and quirky, with a random small chandelier adorning this bakery. Families, groups of friends, and cyclists were in the mix of patrons on a Saturday morning. All servers were very friendly, helpful with dish descriptions, and fast! The ham and cheese croissant and a shared cinnamon bun was in the cards. The pastry was flakey, buttery, and very tasty. The sesame, roasted onion and garlic sprinkled on top of the pastry was delightful. The warm cheese and ham inside were also good. The cinnamon bun was a nice mix of croissant and cinnamon bun; also flaky and buttery. I am guessing flakey, soft, and buttery is their signature! One minor thing, that coffee was not good, but the food made up for it. Overall, this was a very nice place that got us interested in all the pastries with that buttery flavor. For sure a recommend for visitors and locals.

    Such a home-y vibe!…read more It's inside of a church! I was driving a friend from Centennial to Aurora and this place was perfectly on the way. Literally nothing much else around AT ALL. It was a SINGLE pin on my google map - no pins near it at all! I must have pinned this at some point as "a place to go to sometime when in the area" but I really can't remember pinning it and am not sure why I would pin a coffee shop located in a church! However! This is the second coffee shop that I've seen in Denver while driving by - like located as part of a massive church, so it was interesting to actually be checking it out. It was a weekday and there was a vast parking lot and there were like 4 cars. LOTS of parking! Once inside, I immediately relaxed! Didn't even know I was tense! There was so much to look at and it smelled so good inside. Couldn't quite put my finger on it. Something baked tho. My eyes wandered everywhere over the various retail areas, the furniture - couches to patio furniture, the people behind the counter, the various large chalkboards, menus, etc. Lots to look at. I wound up getting a spicy chai! I never order chai! I must have been under some strange spell from being immersed in the warm comforting baked goods aroma! The spicy chai had KICK! It was so good that I ordered a second one to go! My friend ordered that ham+cheese biscuit which looked amazing, with those cheese legs dripping! Whoa! It was such a nice coffee + conversation vibe. I would totally go again if I am ever in that area again! Oh! The 2 behind the counter were very friendly and knowledgeable about their vast variety of menu and drink items!

I wish it would have been a bit thicker but all in all it was very scrumptious. For that donut cake alone I would definitely come back.
