Wake Coffee — Restaurant in Whitemarsh Township

We moved to the area last year and went to Wake for the first time. The coffee was wonderful and service was fine. We’ve been back probably about 5-6 times since and it’s so incredibly inconsistent. The espresso tastes super different (bad) some days and other days it’s fine. Today, there were 3 people waiting for drinks. The barista put 2 drinks on the pick-up counter and walked away.

I got the "Wake Up Sandwich" which is their bacon, egg, and cheese. Actual perfection. Bacon? Crispy. Cheese? Melty. Egg? Just a bit runny which is my favorite. Brioche bun? Pillowy soft.
