"The pastries were nice. They warmed them up. Amd toasted the bagel. The coffee took them forever to prepare, and it was very weak. Nice outdoor and indoor seating. Just take your time."

"Honestly the best cafe in Scotts Valley region. Family owned and full of personality. Justin and Mason excel in service, very personable and happy to provide. Would reccomend this cafe 100% over the suffocating amount of chain cafes that are like invasive species to our local economy."

"We always have a great time when we stop at Brewed Awakening. Forrest made us the best drinks and was patient while we asked about the sandwiches. Service was friendly and speedy. This is the best spot for coffee in Scotts Valley."

"Went there before Big Pine Lakes hike on July 19'th, 2025. Brewed Awakening was the only real coffee shop open in Big Pine that early in the morning. Lovely ambient, cute vibes and surprisingly fantastic coffee! So glad we didn't have to start such an amazing hike with gas station coffee (imagine that!). About the service: long story short (aside the great coffee), I left my new gloves in the bathroom. Called them and realized I would not be back before they close. I lost signal and was not able to reach them again in order to coordinate anything. Next stop was mammoth and I wrote off my brand new cool hiking gloves. Lo and behold, Shelly (one of the owners) leaves a voice message for me (which I received when I arrived at Roseville, CA. So yes, far too late! Thanks ATT lol), ensuring me that she will make sure I receive my gloves. I forgot all about it and she caught me AGAIN and asked for my address and made sure I received them. Now THAT my mountain friends, is what we call "GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND"!!!!!!!!!! I would give 11 stars out of 10, but unfortunately we go by 5 stars only. Recommended for one too many amazing reasons. Will certainly go back :) 💕"

"Delicious coffee from a locally owned business, what's not to like? The folks behind the counter are terrific."
