Our story

More Than a Cafe.
A Place to Come Home.

Awaken was created as more than somewhere to grab a drink. It is a place where great coffee meets mindful living, morning rituals feel a little more meaningful, and strangers become friends. Come as you are, slow down for a moment, and stay for the community.
