Wake Up Call - Walla Walla — Restaurant in Walla Walla

I stumbled upon "Wake Up Call" in search of a caffeinated miracle and found myself in a quirky caffeine haven with the ever-enthusiastic barista, Jairon. If I could sum up my experience in one word, it would be "AWAKE-tastic"!

First, let's talk about Jairon. This barista is a human espresso shot! Their energy is so contagious that it should come with a warning label: "May induce unstoppable laughter!" Jairon's coffee-crafting skills are top-notch, but it's their stand-up comedy routine in between orders that truly sets this place apart. I'm convinced they must moonlight as a professional comedian, or maybe coffee beans are secretly filled with hilarity – who knew?

As for the coffee, well, let's just say it's like a warm hug for your taste buds. I had the "Jitterbug Latte," and it had me doing the Charleston in my chair with sheer delight. The beans at "Wake Up Call" must be handpicked by caffeine-loving angels because every sip felt like a tiny piece of heaven. The menu is extensive, the coffee's rich, and the desserts are so sweet that even my dentist would forgive me.

The decor is another story altogether. "Wake Up Call" has this funky, retro vibe going on that makes you feel like you've stepped into a time machine fueled by espresso shots. I half expected the barista to hand me a coffee cup shaped like a lava lamp – that's how groovy it is!

As for the atmosphere, it's as cozy as your grandma's quilts, and you'll find a mix of caffeine aficionados, students, and the occasional office worker seeking refuge from their spreadsheets. It's a place where laughter is welcome, laptops are open, and dreams are brewed along with the coffee.

In summary, "Wake Up Call" is not just a coffee shop; it's a caffeine carnival with Jairon as the ringmaster of laughs and lattes. So, if you're looking for a good dose of energy, a side of laughter, and coffee that'll make your heart skip a beat (in a good way), this is the place to be. Five stars for this caffeinated...

The drinks are great, however that being said; A particular blonde female that works there is extremely rude & shouldn’t be in customer service. I have never had one single pleasant interaction with her. My husband has refused to return to the shop after the last incident, which i was aware of another encounter but not this one (she has been unprofessional many times)… the last straw was when we were in the drive-thru together and I ordered my drink, I received an eye roll 🙄 and than she proceeded to put a :) on my husband’s cup?! She has been hostile to my children, mother and myself included, as if ordering drinks from the establishment she works at bothers her. Also beware of her overcharging you, not giving prices on what your ordering or not getting “stamps” for free drinks. Again great drinks but terrible...

Update: things got worse, not better. Don't waste your money

They have constant issues getting our order correct and keeping items in stock. They were out of the breakfast sandwiches this time. Last time it was the burritos. It's about 50/50 wether I get the egg on my sandwich when they do have it. This time our drinks were made wrong and not even blended all the way. I think it's time to find a new go to place and stop giving them our money.

Update - they promised to addressed these issues but absolutely did not. They tell you what you wanna hear and then just forget. They added brand new sandwiches to their menu..and then didn't have them. What a joke. Save your money. There are multiple better places to go where they do...
