Brewed Awakenings — Restaurant in Appleton

Well, in answer to your query, 5 stars is an exceptional rating validated by best- ever experiences and interactions... that there were a few missteps is where the missing star went. Parking - well, it's downtown - rarely convenient. First impressions of the shop and outside areas - interesting and a bit provocative; that in itself is a good way for people to feel invited. Now, upon entering said establishment: retro, recycled furnishings that add a mystic vibe. Spacing of sityadown areas is cozy; counter/cabinets are utilized well for display.

If that’s the case it’s also pretty rude on his part, but that’s not the fault of the business other than they allow it.

Overall this is a great spot to visit, stroller friendly. Great food. Big menu. Vegan and vegetarian options. Higher priced than your average chain coffee, but the...

The staff is always very friendly and helpful; always ready to answer any questions one may have. The interior is adorned beautifully with repurposed materials from the original shop, giving the cafe a very warm and welcoming feel. There’s shaded outdoor seating in the back for those beautifully warm summer days.

The espresso is pretty good- the lattes always have the best foam.

The food is amazing- I’m always awed at how delicious my meals are. Though I do wish there were more gluten-free vegan options, I thoroughly appreciate that there’s more than one, which is rare in a meat and cheese loving state.

I enjoy visiting Brewed Awakenings frequently because I know I’ll always leave caffeinated, nourished, and with a huge...
