    A friendly smile and a lovely lavender latte. Cute vibe. Would absolutely come back if I were local.

    Chocolate coconut iced coffee
    Jacqueline T.

    Probably one of the best coffee shops I have visited while traveling. The iced chocolate coconut coffee is delicious and reminds me of a Samoa cookie. I also snacked on the chocolate chip banana bread which was extremely moist and fresh. The shop is adorable and the baristas are so friendly! Highly recommend.

    Avocado toast and vanilla latte

    Wake up coffee is a cute coffee shop in Brunswick. The food was yummy and the coffee was spot on. The service was very attentive too.

    Afternoon pick-me-up
    Kristine S.

    I was in desperate need of an afternoon pick-me-up! Thank goodness that I found Wake Up Coffee close by. I ran inside and ordered a hot white mocha latte. The girl who took my order was friendly and kind. My drink was ready within 3 minutes and just like that I was out the door. My white mocha latte was the perfect temperature and tasted great! It wasn't too sweet which I really appreciated. Thank you Wake Up Coffee and keep up the great work!

    Delicious pastries

    A delightful little cafe in Brunswick. While visiting Jekyll Island, I wanted some good coffee (good coffee is not available on the island) so I headed into Brunswick. Upon entering I saw they were making their own chocolate sauce for the mocha and unloading a tray of scones from the oven...I knew it was going to be good. I ordered a Hot Mocha and Blondie pastry. First, the blondie was so delicious I hoovered it before I remembered to take a picture. I asked the nice lady if I could get a corner piece and she obliged and it was the best decision I've made in quite some time. It was delicious and not overly and obnoxiously sweet like a lot of the baked goods I've tried down here. The Mocha was rich and delicious. A perfect blend of rich mocha chocolate flavor and espresso. This is definitely worth the trip off the island.

    Wake Up Coffee is one of my all time fav coffee spots in my area. Both locations on St. Simons Island and in Brunswick are so cute and cozy. I love the remodeling they've done in both while keeping their cute & simple aesthetic. They have fresh pastries and some breakfast items like their avocado toast! I always order their turtle mocha with almond milk & whip cream hot or iced and it's never disappointed!! I love coming to get some work done, chat with friends, or solo! Such a brunswick gem and they deserve all the love

    Large Honey Vanilla Raspberry Oatmilk  Latte... robust and not to sweet AMAZING!
    Addi P.

    I got their medium honey vanilla raspberry latte with oat milk and it was so delicious- their coffee beans are so fresh you can taste it in the cup and it wasn't fairly sweet or overpowering, the perfect balance to your morning. Will definitely try again!

    Iced coconut latte with oat milk
    Sarah B.

    Boy oh boy, wasn't this a good find!! I feel as if I am a coffee connoisseur, and this was the best coffee I've had in a very long time. (And I drink it everyday). Even coffee aside, I would give this place 5 stars for the barista and the atmosphere alone. This place was immaculate in every way it could be! I would love to this area just to be near this coffee shop! You definitely should give it a try!! I got an iced coconut oat milk latte, and my boyfriend got the watermelon lemonade. I've already talked about how good the latte was, but the watermelon lemonade was a major hit too. Not too sweet, not too sour, perfect amount of watermelon flavor. I just love this place!!!

    I can't find their menu online. I read that they have some non-dairy milks, which is great. Do they have any vegan pastries?

    They have soy and almond milk. I am not sure about Vegan pastries, I am a carnivore.

    Would like to know if they have sugar-free options for those of us whose bodies are treating sugar like poison? Ugh! Imagine that! Quote from my 103 year old nana, Bessie Alberta Gammon Johnson. Mine is "What's up with that?"

    Yes, they have sugar-free options. Vanilla, hazelnut, caramel, and coconut syrup.

    No one greeted us and no employee was at the register nor in the store portion the whole time we…read morewere there. I guess I wasn't very clear on what to expect after looking at their website before my visit. I much enjoy the Artists' Guild shop at Goodyear Cottage on Jekyll or Glynn Visual Arts on SSI and I had the impression that this would be Brunswick's version of those handmade art stores, but it wasn't. There was a paint-your-prefab-ceramics class going on in the back studio and people gathered around a table in the cafe making a craft or something. I know these are popular with certain people but Build-a-Bear type ceramics are not for me. The store portion is laid out much like an Anthropologie vibe, made to look like everything is precious and "deep." Merch was more crafty than artsy, like Etsy as a shop, with Etsy prices. All artsy-looking commercially produced goods or handicrafts rather than actual art--I saw no OOAK items in the shop, nothing actually handmade either unless the bead earrings were handmade on a loom but again, identical duplicates of them. It seemed like everything had to be a certain matching aesthetic and be a similar BoHo Brooklyn "Beige Mom" style. Brunswick can be diverse for those who embrace it, so the store name "Makers BWK" is a little misleading in that sense. When I think "Southern" + "art" I go to folk art or Gullah crafts, memory quilts, face jugs, etc. I get it if that's too traditional and established for the under-35s, but Brooklyn BoHo? I guess it's a novelty this far from NYC. Also, as you can see in my pictures, there was no coastal art representation for the Golden Isles. Unlike the Artists' Guild shop at Goodyear Cottage on Jekyll or Glynn Visual Arts on SSI, it just seems like there is no sense of locality infused in any of the products Makers BWK had. They mention goods from Haiti online so I appreciate if those are Fair Trade but there was nothing to explain what was local. The craft market candles? The mass-produced sketchbooks? Jewelry, candles, soap, cards, sketchbooks, random snacks... again, not OOAK original art. It is what it is, and good for those who like it. It's artsy craft market stuff. It's just not for me and was frustrating to waste time to visit when online it seemed depicted as actual art for sale.

    I love this store and the story behind it! The owners are amazing and their journey is admirable…read more They have a delightful shop with many local items and items from Haiti. They also have a great artist studio and offer classes and open studio time. It's always a must stop when I'm in town! Def recommend!

There is ample parking normally but during events or peak times may be challenging. The restaurant decor is nicely appointed with the interior walls being bare brick & ceiling having exposed beams . Roughly 8-9 tables of 4 inside along the wall, 7-8 spots at the counter & 5 tables of 4 outside which has coverage from the sun as well as 6-7 chairs on the side walk area that you can enjoy and adult beverage. During the Winter they have 4 heaters outside nicely spaced to keep you warm on cool evenings. The service was excellent. Sam our waiter/server was attentive and refilled drinks as well as made some recommendations. I had the Black & Blue Wagyu burger w/cucumber salad. The burger was very juicy with burger sauce (mayo, ketchup & mustard combined), tomato, lettuce and bacon. Excellent!! My friend had the Shrimp Po-boy also with cucumber salad. The shrimp were fried and placed into a French roll with Tatar sauce as well as lettuce and tomato. He said the shrimp were hot and were cooked perfectly. The cucumber salad is a cream type salad with ample amount of cucumber slices and dill. If you live on or are visiting St. Simons Island, this is an excellent spot to try. The menu has a good variety of food items to select from as well as various sides & beverage choices from coffees to iced tea/soda to wines & crafted cocktails. Bon appetite'!
