Wake Up Coffee Company — Restaurant in Georgia

We came to Wake Up to work remotely for the morning while in town for a semi-vacation. The food was good (waffles with fruit and avocado toast with egg), the coffee was good too. I would recommend putting descriptions of your custom/flavored lattes since I ordered the "Island Mocha" and didn't realize it had a coconut flavoring of some kind in it. I am not a huge fan of coconut flavor but the menu had no description at all of the drink. I though the inclusion of the "Island" in the name was just a cute way to reference the fact that you're on SSI. The biggest gripe we have was the loud music that was playing. We would not return simply because the music was way too loud. Not just to get a little work done, but even to have a casual conversation with a friend over a cup of coffee would be a little difficult. To be clear, we did not request them to consider turning down the volume, and they may have done so if we asked, but just something to take note of. Overall a cool atmosphere with good offerings but you may want to consider sitting outside if you don't like...

So relaxed. There are different café vibes: busy urban, student, caffeine rush, super green organic, business, etc. This place, though. Just what I love. Island on the outside, modern/industrial/island inside. Music is playing, but at a pleasant volume. Patrons aren't screaming at each other. The coffee aroma is not overwhelming. Very private seating outside overlooking the marsh. Merchandise available, but it's not the focus. So very clean.

The drink menu is small and handwritten on a chalk board. I'm having the Iced Island Mocha (coconut and mocha), and it's by far the best I've had. Perfect balance of flavors, the coffee is robust but not bitter, and there's a distinct nutty flavor that adds to the wonderful richness of this drink. Honey is local, pastries are local, and you'll find a nice Specials board featuring coffee of the day.

Service is remarkably professional. And relaxed. That's the vibe. Island relaxed. Head over heels for this little café in Saint Simons Red...

The employee who took our order was very friendly and memorized our order as she prepared the large order that came before us! She was knowledgeable about both the shop's products and menu.

I ordered the honey vanilla raspberry iced latte. I could taste the flavor of the actual coffee that was used very well. The raspberry and vanilla were a really nice aftertaste to swallowing a sip of this latte. It was delicious!

My husband had the Iced Chai latte, which he said was rich, full of flavor, but not overwhelming. Also that it was sweet, but not too sweet, and would also be good as a dirty chai option. Lastly, he recommends getting light ice.

I also had a Blueberry muffin which was perfectly moist, filling, but not too dense. It was perfectly crisp on top and sweet but not overly so.

The store also has very cute merch for sale, and the atmosphere here is calm and quiet- very nice.

We enjoyed our experience here and would...
